Councilman Friedman made a number of corrections in the fourth paragraph
of page four to better reflect what he had said. The paragraph should read:
Councilman Friedman asked about the impact of future dollars. He said the
upgrading of Highway 12 encourages more cars, which detracts from light rail
transit, buses and carpooling. Yet, the City is encouraged to support this
upgrading and he wondered where the money is going to come from. On page
5, 7th paragraph should read: Councilman Friedman stated the Council should
take into consideration the impact on the ‘ City and the financial loss in
not being able to develop the site. He added that for mass transit purposes,
this may be the best site but he is hard pressed to endorse anything until
its impact on the City can be evaluated.
Councilman Strand believed that on page two under the Economic Development
Authority, the priority assigned was a 3, not a 1 .
The motion to approve as amended passed 7-0.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
6a. American Fish & Seafood Amendment to zoning ordinance:
American Fish & Seafood.
Howard Bard, attorney for the applicant, gave a brief background on American
Fish and Seafood, explaining that they have outgrown the present location
in Golden Valley and wish to relocate to St. Louis Park. He said they had
a concern with one section of the special permit, to wit, the phrase ". . .and
when the removal and disposal of fish parts from whole fish is limited to
a maximum of 15% of the process." They asked that that phrase be deleted
because of the difficulty in administering such a requirement . It was their
feeling that the volume of food processing is of less importance than the
cleanliness and care that is taken during the processing.
In answer to a question from Councilman Meland relative to the disposal of
fish parts, Mr. Bard said they were collected and stored in sealed barrels,
kept inside the facility and picked up by truck once weekly and taken to
a rendering plant. 11111
Hal Pierce, architect for the project, displayed plans of the proposed facility.
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.
It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Backes, to delete
in the next to last line all words after the word "site" to the end of that
line. Councilman Strand said the Planning Commission had had lengthy discussion
on this matter and he didn't feel the City needed to regulate both the size
of the processing plant and the disposal of parts. He felt the 15% would
be an unenforceable restriction and that it would be burdensome for the City
to attempt such enforcement.
The motion passed 7-0.
It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Friedman, to waive
first reading, set second reading for February 2, 1987 and authorize summary
publication.
The motion passed 7-0.
6b. Special permit: American Fish Special permit to permit filling
in the floodplain and the establish-
ment of a fish and seafood processing
facility at 7201 W. Lake St.

City Council meeting minutes
January 20, 1987
Mr. Bard addressed several items in the special permit. The applicant is
requesting that paragraph two be amended to provide for the outside handling
of waste materials. They feel because of various potential problems such
as attraction to rodents, they have never allowed storage of waste materials
inside a facility. They would request outside storage, properly screened
and in conformance with City codes. In paragraph three, relative to the trash
compactor, they would have to build an addition onto the building - .an expensive
project - in order to enclose the compactor. They were requesting that proper
screening be allowed in lieu of completely enclosing it. In paragraph eight,
they request compliance review and cleaning and washing of trucks be deleted.
They wished to be treated like any other applicant for a special permit,
undergo the same inspections and be subject to all the same code requirements.
Mayor Hanks asked if other businesses are required to wash their trucks inside.
The Director of Planning said this item is. not usually addressed as it rarely
comes up. He said that in this case the item came up through discussions
with Inspectional Services where there was some concern as to how the trucks
would be handled and the chance of flushin fishparts into the sanitary
sewer system.
Mr. Bard explained there were no loose fish carried in the trucks, that
everything was boxed or crated.
Councilman Friedman asked how the trucks were washed now. Mr. Bard said that
in Golden Valley, the trucks are parked at the rear of the facility and that
a washing service comes out weekly to wash the trucks. He added there had
never been a complaint from the City of Golden Valley.
Councilman Friedman asked for clarification on the storage of trash in other
buildings regardless if they were covered by special permit or not, i .e.
cardboard boxes and similar materials.
The Director of Planning said that in the restaurant category, all trash
must be stored inside of the building. Service stations must store trash
inside but sometimes it is stored in an enclosed area attached to the building.
Councilman Friedman asked why there was a differentiation here as compared
to paint stores, grocery stores, etc.
The Director `responded that grocery, paint,, hardware stores and the like
are not covered by special permit. He said the, revised zoning ordinance would
be addressing the matter of trash storage.
Councilman Backes said he had no problem with trash being stored outside
as long as it was properly screened from view.
Mr. Crank, architect for the project, said they do not put trash inside
because the container is quite large and is emptied by a large truck lifting
it up and dumping the contents. If this container were stored inside, it
iiii
would be almost impossible to push it outside for collection.

City Council meeting minutes
January 20, 1987
Councilman Strand asked if there were other areas in the City with exterior
trash compactors being used. Councilman Duffy said the Country Store had 41111
one, but that it was not screened. It was noted this situation also exists
behind Miracle Mile.
Councilman Strand said that while he was initially opposed to a fish processing
facility in the City, his tour of the present facility in Golden Valley
had impressed him with its cleanliness and lack of odor. He felt this operation
would be an asset to St. Louis Park. He did not see the need for inorganic
trash being stored inside nor that trucks needed to be washed inside. He
felt if they put the same type of disposal system in at this facility as
they presently have in Golden Valley, it would be acceptable.
Councilman Duffy suggested paragraph 2 might read: "Prior to issuance of
a building permit, the applicant must provide detailed plans for the inside
handling and storage of all forms of trash and waste materials generated
from the processing of fish" and delete paragraph 3.
Councilman Backes pointed out there should be some verbiage relative to
the screening of outside storage. ,
Councilman Strand suggested in paragraph 2 the insertion of the word "organic"
before trash and waste materials, and keep paragraph 3 which would state
that all organic processed byproducts be stored within the building until
disposal . illIl
The City Manager, as a means of clarification, asked if Council was moving
along the lines of "non-organic materials may be stored outside and that
they shall be stored in a screened area" or words to that effect.
Councilman Strand said he believed condition 8 relative to a review of the
facility in May 1991 be deleted. He believedif the plant ,were in violation
of the conditions of the special permit, the City has enforcement authority
which is sufficient to handle such a situation. • ,
It was moved by Councilman Backes, seconded by Councilman Mitchell , to continue
the public hearing to February 2, 1987.
The motion passed 7-0.
REQUESTS, PETITIONS, COMMUNICATIONS
7a. Shorewood Investments Request for condemnation to
gain access to landlocked
property: Shorewood Investments
Mayor Hanks said there was no Council action necessary on this item as it
has already been scheduled for a ,Planning Commission agenda.
Councilman Mitchell said he was voicing his opposition to this proposal
unless there was a clear indication that the- church would favor the project. 11111 1

11111 RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
8a. Temporary on-sale liquor licenses Second reading of an ordinance
Ordinance No. 1707-87 permitting temporary on-sale
intoxicating liquor licenses
It was moved by Councilman Friedman, seconded by Councilman Meland, to waive
reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1707-87 entitled "An ordinance amending
the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code Related to intoxicating liquor: Adding
Section 13-333.101 , temporary on-sale licenses."
Councilman Strand said the ordinance did not make sense to him. He believed
non-intoxicating liquor should be sufficient for any group wanting to accomplish
fund-raising activities, and especially in light of the City's crackdown
on DWI. He felt a license issued for three days was excessive. Also, that
a licensee does not have to acquire liability insurance made no sense to
him.
Councilman Friedman said he had no problem restricting a temporary license
to one day and no more than two functions yearly.
Mayor Hanks asked for how many days can a non-intoxicating liquor license
be issued. The, City Attorney responded his recollection was that it was
for a day or two
11111 Councilman Friedman said he had no problem with the number of %or which
a license be issued - a temporary license for one day and no more than twice
yearly was certainly acceptable. He said it was never intended to be a function
for outsiders or for fund-raising purposes. He said it was his intent licenses
be issued to religious organizations wanting to hold a private affair. He
said he was amenable to the City requiring more insurance than the State
mandates. He did feel it was important to take out of jeopardy organizations
which have been holding affairs serving liquor which is currently illegal ,
albeit unbeknownst to them.
Councilman Strand said he also had a problem with enforcement. He felt suspension
or revocation of a temporary license, for all practical purposes, was simply
not viable. He felt a privilege was being granted to a group of persons
and the City seemingly has no control over the privilege once it is granted.
Councilman Friedman asked if it would be within the City' s jurisdiction
to withhold granting of a license in the future should a violation occur
or invoke restrictions of that nature.
The City Attorney responded civil penalties are not currently provided for
under City ordinances but there was provision for monetary penalties. Extending
this to holders of temporary licenses would be at the discretion of the
City Council . He felt restrictions on subsequent requests could be imposed.
In essence, two remedies are available: no further licenses because of prior
IL violations and civil penalties. A question that would arise relating to
no further licenses would be one of a hearing right, i .e. an alleged violation
without adjudication of that violation may present a situation wherein an
applicant says I 've only been charged with aviolation, it hasn't been proven.

City Council meeting minutes
January 20, 1987
Councimam `r :edman said he'd be in favor of some type of rebuke for a first
violation and asked if that would require a hearing. 41111_
The City Attorney replied that absent such adjudication, he wasn't certain
a license could be withheld. ,
Councilman Strand said the City Council could assess a penalty, but it would
be interesting to see monetary penalties assessed against a non-profit organiza-
tion. He didn't think this avenue would ever be a viable remedy.
Councilman Backes asked if a social function could take place in a social
hall , for example, in which setups are served and a person brings their
own bottle. He asked if that type of function required a license.
The City Attorney said you'd have to look at such things as is admission
charged, is such a function open to the public, issues which might take
it outside of a private function. This is a fact question depending on the
nature of the function, the size, conditions of entry, etc.
The motion to adopt the ordinance passed 5-2 (Councilman Strand, Mayor Hanks
opposed) .
Councilman Strand asked if that vote was for the amendment (restricting
licenses to one day and maximum twice yearly) .
Mayor Hanks said he thought it was the motion to adopt the ordinance. He11111
said if Council wanted to vote on the amendment, that could be done.
The amendment to the ordinance passed 7-0.
The motion to waive reading and adopt the amended ordinance passed 4-3 (Council-
men Backes and Strand, Mayor Hanks opposed) .
8b. Tax forfeited property
Resolution 87-5 Tax forfeited property at 3640
Independence Ave. so.
Councilman Mitchell said that at one time, there was declared a public
need for this land. Now there is no public need. He ' asked what changed
that.
Councilman Meland said that at the time Amhurst was developed, that land
designated for public need was for streets, etc. No additional land was
needed for parks and so forth.
It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy, to waive:-
reading
aiverreading and adopt Resolution 87-5 entitled "Resolution approving designation
of nonconservation land shown on classification list "688" by Board of
County Commissioners of Hennepin County."
The motion passed 7-0.

It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Meland, to waive
reading and adopt Resolution 87-6 entitled "Resolution requesting formal
representation and full voting privileges on the Metropolitan Aircraft

serving of the MASAC and to schedule an interview with Lenore Brill for
Feb. 2, 1987.

REPORTS FROM OFFICERS, BOARDS, COMMITTEES
9a. South Oak Pond expansion Consultant selection: South Oak
Pond expansion
It_ was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy, to extend
the contract with STS Consultants, Inc. from $3,000 to $9,200 and authorize
ERT, Inc. to complete water analysis at a cost of $1 ,100 and Interpoll
Laboratory to complete sediment analysis at a cost of $1 ,200.
Councilman Friedman, reading from staff ' s report, "Staff anticipates an
11111 increase in fees to be ' somewhat' offset by a decrease in fees." He asked
what "somewhat" meant.
The Director of Public Works said the anticipated increase was approximately
$4,300 which should offset design costs that are incurred by the OSM contract,
and the use of the word "somewhat" was used as a proviso that you can't
expect a dollar-for-dollar exchange.
The motion passed 7-0.
9b. PER: Project 87-26 Street lighting, W. 252 St. east
of Hwy. 100 to W. 26th St.
It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Meland, to approve
the preliminary engineering report for Project 87-26 and authorize the
project to be completed at an estimated cost of $25,870.
Councilman Friedman asked how this project was to be assessed.
The City Manager responded there was no assessment because this project
was part of the agreement in exchange for the two property owners dedicating
the land at no cost to the city.
The motion passed 7-0.
9c. PER: Project 87-33 Reconditioning of wells 13 and
14
It was moved by Councilman Duffy, seconded by Councilman Meland, to accept

41111 The motion passed 7-0.
9d. Bond reduction: Aspenwood Councilman Mitchell asked what
was the size of the remaining
lot.
Staff was not able to provide the actual dimensions, but commented it was
quite an odd-shaped lot. However, it is a buildable lot.
Councilman Friedman said that a resident of the immediate area had reported
there was a "For Sale" sign on the lot.
Mr. Thiel , who happened to be attending the meeting on another matter,
is a representative of the developer. He said that to the best of his knowledge
that lot was to be developed along with the rest of the development.
The Planning Director commented that perhaps the lot had not been built upon
because of its rather odd shape.
Councilman Mitchell was- concerned because at the outset this development
was controversial . Now with one lot left undeveloped, he was concerned
the City Council was taking the position the lot should be developed, therefore
forcing its development, perhaps with a structure more incompatible with
the surrounding neighborhood.
Mr. Thiel offered to investigate the situation and secure a letter- from
the developer explaining why ,the lot has not been developed and what the 41111 ,
intent is. ,
It was moved by Councilman Mitchell , seconded by Councilman Friedman, to
defer the item to Feb. 2, 1987.
The motion passed 7-0.
9e. Agency agreement: 1-394 It was moved by Councilman Meland,
Resolution 87-7 seconded by Councilman Duffy,
to waive reading and adopt Resolution
87-7 entitled "Resolution authorizing execution of agency and relocation
Agreement No. 63788R with Minnesota Department of Transportation to provide 1
for improvements related to the construction of I-394."
The motion passed 7-0.
9f. Sale of City-owned homes Selection of realtor to sell
City houses
Councilman Friedman excused himself from the discussion explaining that
since he sells residential real estate, he didn't think it proper to be
involved in the discussion especially since someone from his office was
under consideration.
It was moved by Councilman Strand to set up interviews with the four realtors 11111
as recommended in staff's report.
Councilman Strand said he would like to recommend a committee of the Council
interview the realtors as he felt quite inadequate to ask relevant questions.
-17-
City Council meeting minutes
January 20, 1987
Councilman Backes said he was a bit concerned about Council moving into
areas that previouslywere a function of staff. He said he was uncomfortable
with Council interviewing engineers, architects, soil specialists and
other types of professionals being considered for City projects. He said
he would oppose this item and felt Council consideration could potentially
delay getting those homes on the market.
Councilman Mitchell felt there was no great rush to get this project underway
immediately as interest rates continue to fall . He felt Council screening
these four candidates was no different from their hearing the presentations
from the developers selected by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
for the Excelsior Blvd. redevelopment project. He felt it was important
to proceed with interviews because a number of questions were not being
addressed which he felt were important.
It was determined that two interviews would be conducted on January 26
and two on February 2.
Councilman Duffy said that after going over staff's report, he was quite
confident the finalists staff had selected were all qualified, and he felt
the most qualified to make the final selection were the people who had
conducted the preliminary interviews. He said he would be very comfortable
authorizing staff to select one realtor and then move forward on the project.
The motion failed 3-3 (Councilman Backes, Duffy, Meland opposed) .
Councilman Meland said he would change his vote to yea as he felt the
project should get moving forward.
Upon Councilman Meland' s reversal , the motion passed 4-2 (Councilmen Backes,
Duffy opposed) .
9g. Single family bond program It was moved by Councilman
Backes, seconded by Councilman
Duffy, to receive the report
. for filing.
The motion passed 7-0.
9h. 1987 bond sale Proposed 1987 bond sale,
employment of approving opinion
attorney and set bond rating
agencies' meeting.
It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy, to direct
staff to (1 ) proceed with preparations for a March 1987 variable rate
bond sale; (2) schedule rating agencies' meetings; and (3) retain Holmes
and Graven to render the required legal opinions.
The motion passed 7-0.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
10a. Boards and Commissions Appointments to the Planning
Commission and Parks and
Recreation Commission were
deferred to February 2, 1987.
House Doctor Program Councilman Friedman asked -
how long the board terms
would be.
The City Manager responded they would serve until the end of '1987.
Councilman Friedman felt he didn't have enough information about the board,
what it does or even what this program is all about. The City Manager
said he would provide Council with a memo previously submitted to them
which explained the House Doctor program.
Councilman Strand asked if the Council had ever thought about putting -
together an appointment committee of the Council , say three members, who
are not serving on the Planning Commission or other commission which had
many meetings. This committee would conduct interviews such as the House
Doctor program, any other members of Council always welcome to join in.
He felt that the review process might be expedited to a certain extent. ill 1
He also felt it might accommodate the Council members' busy schedule and
give at least a couple of members of Council a chance to meet people before
they are appointed.
Mayor Hanks said a lot of good people had been interviewed for the two
Parks and Recreation openings and he was sure there were many fine individuals
interviewed for the one Planning Commission opening. He suggested a process
whereby when an opening occurred, those people previously interviewed
could be contacted to elicit their interest in being considered for openings
that might occur.
No action was taken on these suggestions, the Mayor requesting that Council
give them some thought.
10b. Property adjoining Amhurst Len Thiel , 2910 Flag Ave. ,
representing Centurion, alluded
to the maps before Council
showing the property in question
and provided a brief background.
Councilman Strand asked why the developer would take in settlement of
the County' s condemnation land with no access when there was another parcel
nearby with access.
Mr. Thiel said it was thought one could come off the ramp and get access11111
alongside the property. It turned out that could not be done.
-19-
City Council meeting minutes
January 20, 1987
11111 Councilman Mitchell asked if there were anything in writing to show that
the land was originally thought to be developable. Mr. Thiel said the
engineers had plans developed.
Councilman Backes asked Mr. Thiel if Minnetonka would grant access from
the property to the public street system in Minnetonka through Sandra
and Ann Lanes as well as provide utilities.
Mr. Thiel said he had not discussed this with the whole Council , but that
the Council member in that area was in favor of the proposal . Also, the
City Manager, City Planner and various members of the Minnetonka staff
were in favor of the proposal .
Councilman Duffy asked if Council had not asked staff to work with the
developer and the City of Minnetonka to see what they could come up with,
and that Council had rejected that proposal .
Councilman Mitchell asked for clarification. He said it appears there
is a landlocked situation with lots that are buildable, but without access
to it, or there might be access from another community thereby complicating
the situation. He asked if Mr. Thiel had not previously been before Council ,
with a somewhat similar situation on Frederick Ave. Mr. Thiel responded
that was true, but in that case, the watershed district came into play
preventing that development.
1110 Councilman Mitchell felt there were probably a number of beautiful lots
in the City which would make for beautiful locations, but simply are not
workable. He could not see Council spending a whole lot of time trying
to make every lot workable. He said it seemed like a developer was coming
to the Council asking it to solve a problem it didn't create.
Mr. Thiel said all he was asking for was that the City arrive at an agreement
with Minnetonka - an agreement Minnetonka is willing to enter into. He
said if access can be secured from Minnetonka, he didn't understand the
City's reluctance to allow that.
Councilman Friedman asked if taxes were currently derived from the property,
and the City Manager said yes, but it was minimal .
Councilman Friedman asked if it was correct that the City was going to
provide public services - fire and police - and the access was going to
come from Minnetonka. The City Manager said public services were going
to be contracted with Minnetonka in exchange for the City maintaining
the park on Ford Road which the City currently maintains.
Councilman Friedman asked why the City wants to keep this piece of property
if it doesn't intend to do anything with it.
1110 Mayor Hanks said if it is true the land could sit there as open space
and never be developed, that was one thing. When it was found there was
no access via the service road, there was a request to annex it to Minnetonka.
He didn' t see any reason why the City should give property to Minnetonka
that conceivably could hold a couple of homes worth $100,000 or more,
the taxes therefrom coming to St. Louis Park.

° r
Councilman Friedman said he'd like to see the matter settled equitably
-
for all the residents of both cities and the developer. He recollected
there were some legal problems relative to having another municipality
provide public services. He felt there was no benefit to the resident
of St. Louis Park by not doing anything about the property and asked what
was the benefit of keeping the property and not having it developed.
Councilman Strand said that since this matter had been voted on before,
it was his opinion this report should be accepted for filing or if someone
is interested in reversing the earlier decision, they should bring up
a new motion.
A question arose as to whether the matter had been tabled, in which case
it should not now be under discussion, or whether it had been deferred.
Councilman Backes said Council needs to see a map of the preliminary plat,
the agreement that was developed and the minutes of the Council and Planning
Commission minutes to review what the concerns were and have staff discuss
this with Minnetonka. In other words, prepare a packet of all background
information.
Councilman Meland suggested staff provide copies of the report regarding
the annexation and the report on allowing public services to come from
Minnetonka, bring that information back to Council and then for Council
to decide if they want to remove the item from the table. He asked that
that be provided for the Feb. 2, 1987 meeting.
0111
The October 20, 1986 Council minutes were provided to the City Attorney
which showed a motion to approve the proposal was rejected on a 5-1 vote.
It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Backes, to place
the item on the Feb. 2 agenda, and provide Council a packet with all previous
discussions and background information.
The motion passed 5-2 (Councilmen Mitchell , Strand opposed) .
NEW BUSINESS
lla. Bid tab: Cab/chassis truck It was moved by Councilman
Duffy, seconded by Councilman
Meland, to authorize execution of
a contract with Bill Boyer Ford, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $35,986.12
for the purchase of one Ford L8000 cab/chassis truck.
The motion passed 7-0.
llb. Recodification Councilman Meland believed
there was a requirement by
either State law or Charter
that requires that all ordinances
be recodified every 10 years. He remembered in the past that the City
did get into some difficulty because recodification had not been done
in some 20 years.

It was moved by Councilman Meland to ask staff to find out whether or
not the recodification is necessary at this time to make sure it is not
overdue.
It was determined it was not necessary for this request to be in the form
of a formal motion.
