Zoning: Service bays Request for study of B-1 zoning relative to number of service bays at service stations It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Backes, to refer the item to the Planning Commission for a special study. Councilman Strand wanted to point out that the Planning Commission's scope of review was limited to the specific request of the applicant. The motion passed 6-0. 7b. Notice of meetings Councilman Friedman expressed his concern about inadequate notice for public informational meetings being received by the affected residents, especially meetings concerning zoning issues. He asked that staff look into the City's policy in terms of notices for meetings. He recommended a minimum two-week notice of any informational meetings and that staff bring back to Council a policy incorporating this recommendation. Strand Councilman/seconded Councilman Freedman's motion. Councilman Strand recommended that rather than staff putting such a policy together, that Council ask staff what the current standard procedure is for noticing Council and commission meetings. Once that procedure is in front of Council , Council could then decide what additional notice . might be necessary and then establish a policy. Councilman Friedman found Councilman Strand's suggestion to be acceptable. The motion passed 6-0. Councilman Friedman moved that in the interim until staff is notified that such a policy is adopted, a minimum two-weeks' notice on any information meetings be given until Council adopts a new policy. He was concerned about any meetings being scheduled between July 6 and July 20, when there wouldn't be adequate two-week notice, if that, in fact, is the policy the Council would adopt. He just wanted to cover any possibilities. Councilman Mitchell seconded this motion. The motion passed 4-2 (Councilmen Backes, Strand opposed) . Mayor Hanks arrived. 7c. Request from school district Peter Hobart school 11110 The City Manager explained that the school district was adding on to Peter Hobart school . A problem has arisen with the proposed addition encroaching on City right-of-way. Also, the school parking lot apparently straddles school property, city property and parkland. A research of the files to date has not brought forth any explanation as to how this has occured. The question is should the construction be continued. If so, could there be -132- City Council meeting minutes July 6, 1987 an agreement when everything is sorted out - get the proper technical and legal documents - whereby the City would vacate the right-of-way, upon vacation, give a permanent easement for the parking lot if one does not already exist and if a variance is allowed, to permit the setback to the property line. If the answer is no, the school district must cease construction with the difficult ramification of not having the addition completed by school this fall . The question before Council this evening is is Council willing to make a motion that the district can proceed with the construction and direct staff to continue the research of the documents re dedicated right-of-way, • easements and so forth. • Councilman Friedman asked if Council had previously had an 11th hour request such as this. And would the Council be willing to grant such a request to anyone else asking. , In answer to a question from Councilman Strand, the City Manager said there was no restriction on the use of the adjacent park land. The Mayor said this was the major off-street parking for the park. 1 Councilman Duffy did not see the street vacation as a major problem due to the fact that the park land across the street would remain such. He supported research of the parking lot situation. He could certainly see the City and school district in agreement that the parking lot would be used for both school and park parking. The variance in building setback was not objectionable to him. Councilman Friedman saw a problem with precedence being set as well as a future problem, i .e. if the Council in the future ever found the park property worth selling off and a road needed for development in there, this might , be a problem. Mayor Hanks pointed out that ,the existing building is virtually surrounded by City ball fields, soccer fields and that the parking lot in front is used all the time by the City's recreation people, making for heavy City/school district joint use. For this reason, he did not see a problem with the variance. Councilman Mitchell asked if a variance could be acted upon that evening. The City Attorney said a variance requires a public hearing. _ Councilman Mitchell asked how they could grant continuance of construction without granting a variance. Councilman Strand cautioned ignoring its procedures in order to accommodate this project, although he did not see a problem with the project itself. He hoped there was some procedure that could be followed without compromising the construction schedule, but he was uncomfortable with approval of any plan which included a variance. Councilman Strand said he'd prefer staff to go back and do some homework on this item and come back to Council with a suggestion for expediting continuance of construction without compromising the public hearing process. Mayor Hanks asked if there could be a motion to proceed with construction, waiving the public hearing if the school district' s attorney's research should reveal this conflict is resolved in a joint powers agreement. -133- City Council meeting minutes July 6, 1987 The City Manager suggested that in the interim before the July 13 study session, should information be found making it possible for Council to take action, they could do so at the study session. Councilman Strand preferred an approach that figured out exactly what the status of the property is and, return to Council with the procedure for going forward. Councilman Meland expressed his concern about any delay which would jeopardize children after school opens especially if heavy equipment was still located on the site as a result of a construction delay. It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Friedman, to have staff review the project to determine what is required in order to allow the construction to proceed including a determination of variance requirements, vacation proceedings and any other relevant proceedings and report back to Council as soon as possible with the understanding Council would be willing to hold a special meeting to expedite the process. The motion passed 5-2 (Councilman Meland, Mayor Hanks opposed) . RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 8a. Vending machine licenses Second reading of an ordinance Ordinance 1719-87 re food vending machine licenses It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Strand, to waive reading and adopt Ordinance 1719-87 entitled "An ordinance amending the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code, Sections 13-912, 13-912.101 and 13-913 related to license fees for coin operated food vending machines." The motion passed 7-0. 8b. Alley vacation Second reading of an ordinance Ordinance 1720-87 , vacating alley between Natchez and Ottawa Ave. It was moved by Councilman Duffy, seconded by Councilman Backes, to waive reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1720-87 entitled "An ordinance vacating alley south of Hwy. 7 between Natchez' and Ottawa Avenues." 8c. Lone Star Addition Final plat It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Mitchell , to waive reading and adopt resolution. Jim Waters, Quest Development, was requesting that the requirement for undergrounding of all utilities be deleted from the resolution of approval . • He said they had been trying to get NSP to be a bit more lenient re this requirement or at least pick up some of the costs. He said his small development was picking up the cost of putting everyone in the block underground. Councilman Friedman asked why this developer was being required to remove -134- City Council meeting minutes ' July 6, 1987 two telephone poles from his site when the whole area is full of poles. Who will notice two poles missing? The City Manager responded that whenever the opportunity arises to remove overhead wiring either during redevelopment or relocation, you take the opportunity to do so. Eventually, done bit by bit, all wires will be undergrounded. Councilman asked if they had checkedthe cost of removing just one pole on the frontage road and getting service from the pole in the back on Division St. Mr. Waters said NSP told him the electrical source flows from Highway 7 south. Councilman Strand felt it was important the utilities be placed underground. If the costs can't be absorbed, then perhaps the development ought not to go through. Mr. Waters agreed, but felt the appropriate time to do the undergrounding was when all the rest of the poles came down. Councilman Friedman asked if plat approval could be withheld if Quest did not remove the poles. The City Attorney responded that the City Council had broad discretion in imposing conditions as part of the platting process. It was the Director of Planning's opinion that if a definitive answer were desired, the various city ordinances addressing this issue would have to be investigated. Councilman Strand said that every project approved since he's been on the Council required undergrounding of utilities and that this _ policy had been consistent. Mayor Hanks questioned whether the costs of undergrounding should all be borne by Quest if the electricity serves homes behind Quest's development. Councilman Mitchell said it appeared to him that past practice equaled policy. Councilman Backes said that in all new development, the 'usual requirement is for undergrounding to the structure. He said here the question was adjacent utility poles and he wasn't sure that was past practice. The motion failed 3-4 (Councilman Backes, Duffy, Friedman and Meland opposed) It was moved by Councilman Meland to waive reading and adopt the resolution approving the final plat deleting the requirement that electrical utilities be placed underground. Councilman Backes seconded. Mayor Hanks asked if an addition could be made to the motion stating the property owner would be asked to undergound when the poles on Highway 7 are undergrounded. -135- City Council meeting minutes July 6, 1987 _11, The City Attorney responded it was his recollection that would be in conformance 11 with existing ordinances addressing undergrounding but that he did not have those ordinances before him. He said that would be one justification for adding that as a condition. The second one would be to make it a condition subsequent to plat approval . It was his opinion that if the City could make it a condition of plat approval now, it could be made a condition subsequent to plat approval . Councilman Meland amended his motion that rather than delete that requirement, it be amended to state that undergounding' take place when the poles , along Hwy. 7 are to be undergrounded. Councilman Backes asked if that would appear on the plat or just in the resolution. He was thinking the property owner would not have a very final plat. It was Councilman Strand's understanding that a final plat was final and no condition can be placed upon it. The City Attorney added that there is a question of the county accepting a plat with a condition on it. Councilman Mitchell felt that questions such as the City's policy on undergrounding and City ordinances should be answered before any action is taken. Mayor Hanks said that some years back, NSP asked the City to cooperatively agree with them to bring about undergrounding of all overhead wires by the year 2000. Then NSP found' out how expensive it was going to be and backed out of any such program. Councilman Strand said it was his understanding that part of the cost of any development, part of any development agreement, was the stipulation for undergrounding ofutility wires. He felt it would be a mistake to vote on the motion which would deviate from what he perceived to be the Council 's policy. Councilman Meland withdrew his motion. It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy, to defer the item to July 20, 1987. • The motion passed 6-1 (Councilman Strand opposed) . Councilman Mitchell said he hoped staff would be providing answers to the questions of the ordinance, the policy and past practices and give Council some sense of direction in terms of developing a policy. REPORTS FROM OFFICERS, BOARDS, COMMITTEES 9a. Housing: Oak Trail Special permit for 164 units of multiple family housing at 3400-3450 Oak Trail -136- City Council meeting minutes July 6, 1987 The Planning Director said seven alternatives were looked at by the Housing Redevelopment Authority. He said the ones most seriously looked at were the 35th/Pennsylvania access and the access south of Hwy. 7. He gave a brief description of their review. He said options that were viewed as undesirable were acess to the east and to the north. The following individuals from the audience spoke to the issue: Del Nordstrom, 3404 Quebec Ave. ; Florence Flugaur, 3320 Louisiana Ave. ; Agnes Lawless, 3320 Louisiana Ave. ; Gertrude Boutang, 3300 Louisiana; A.C. Guzzi , 3501 Rhode Island; and Jay Herwig, 3405 Quebec. Ave. A question of secondary access for emergency vehicles was brought up. The Director explained that the pedestrian walkways throughout the development had been designed with the intent they serve as access for emergency vehicles. All residents speaking hoped that somehow the project could be reduced, that their traffic concerns would be seriously addressed in relation to children and increased cars, ingress and egresss. Councilman Meland brought up three items and asked they be part of the public hearing to be held on July 20, 1987: (1 ) what obligation the City assumed in 1972-73 when the neighborhood block grant money- was accepted for the purchase of the property; (2) the purpose of the tax increment district that was later created; (3) what was the purpose of the bonds at the time bonding was used to refund the neighborhood development grant money. It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Duffy, to hold the material presented for the July 20, 1987 public hearing. 41111 The motion passed 7-0. . Councilman Strand felt the project needed to be evaluated within the context of the entire Comprehensive Plan. To do that, he said it was necessary for Council to have more information available. He wanted to see more informa- tion from the Director of Parks and Recreation relative to preservation of the integrity of that park system if this development would proceed. Also, if the project were to proceed, which access would provide the best maintenance of the integrity of that system. He felt more information should be forthcoming from the Department of Public Works re the hazards that may be involved, if any, from excavating any soil on the site that might be involved in the project including roadways and the development itself. He said some residents had told him hazardous wastes were buried in that area. Along those lines, would there be any removal of materials from the site and what that would entail and whether the development would require any federal and/or state approvals to go forward. Also, what transpired at the Excelsior Blvd. site should be undertaken on a smaller scale for this site. He'd like to have a report on existing traffic counts and what the proposed development might do to those counts. He also asked that attention be paid to what would be involved if additional units were put on that southeast corner which are presently in the Comprehensive Plan. He asked for some idea of how the whole thing was going to look so that Council would have some idea of the impact on the neighborhood once the entire project is put in. Mayor Hanks asked as a next step what would be involved in getting the southeastern corner development eliminated from the Comprehensive Plan and PUD. -137- City Council meeting minutes July 6, 1987 9b. Gamble warehouse site plan Concept plan for redevelopment of Gamble warehouse at 1551 Vernon Ave. Larry Barrett, Space Center, briefly described their plans for the Gamble warehouse site. Their plan is for a facility with three tower-type structures containing 1 million sq. ft. of office space and 60,000 sq. ft. of retail space. Rich Elias, architect for the project, demonstrated a model of the proposed project. It was the `City Manager's recommendation that no action and no discussion transpire until the results of the I-394 traffic study are received. He said a preliminary report was near completion but because of this proposed project and something happening on the property between Golden Valley and St. Louis Park, the consultant has been asked td include one more set of numbers. Staff was told this will take another couple of weeks for the report. It was moved by Councilman Mitchell , seconded by Councilman Meland, to delay any action until the I-394 traffic study is complete. The motion passed 7-0. 11111 9c.

Councilman Strand asked for clarification on what role the risk manager played in this internal decision. ' The City Manager said the risk manager provided input from an__insurance standpoint, not a legal standpoint. The risk manager assists in writing specs and insurance proposals and is retained to evaluate claims etc. The motion passed 7-0 adopting Res. 87-85A entitled, '7huthorizing execution of commercial Lease H-4159 for use of MnDOT land along Highway 100 at Highway 7 for park purposes." 9o.

Refurbishing City Hall It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Strand, to enter into an agreement with Planning and Design, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $13,277.30 and to revise the 1987 budget from $5,000 to $13,277.30. Councilman Friedman asked if staff had checked to see if there might be someone in the community willing to donate their services in this regard rather than having to pay an outside source. The City Manager said this type of check was not made. Councilman Friedman felt that members of staff could certainly be found to work with a volunteer in the community in overseeing this project. He ' was concerned about this type of increase being put in the budget. Councilman Friedman said he had calculated the salaries of top level department heads to be over $800,000 and he felt there should be adequate personnel do undertake this project without spending an additional $13,000 of the taxpayers dollars. The motion passed 6-1 (Councilman Friedman opposed) . NEW BUSINESS lla. Bid tab Street paving, curb/gutter replacement By consent, Hardrives, Inc. was designated as the lowest responsible bidder and staff was authorized to execute a contract with that firm in the amount of $121 ,817.50. llb.

Wine and beer licenses First reading of an ordinance amending City Code It was moved by Councilman Meland, 'seconded by Councilman Duffy, to waive first reading and set second reading for July 20, 1987. 1 ,1^ City Council meeting minutes July 6, 1987 In answer to a question from Mayor Hanks, the City Manager said this ordinance amendment grandfathers in the three existing licensees of on-sale and 3.2 beer licenses to sell strong beer. For future applicants, the new state law would apply. Councilman Strand said he would not oppose this item at this time, but he felt it was a subject the Council should spend some time talking about. He felt the City was taking advantage of permissive language in the statute which allows the City to grant a licensee to sell intoxicating liquor , when not properly licensed to do so. He also wanted the whoe subject of the City's liquor licenses to be researclaiby members of Council . Mayor Hanks said it would appear Council would be setting policy in that pizza places would become, in his term, taverns where people can buy strong beer in addition to the wine and 3.2 licenses currently allowed. Councilman Mitchell asked if there were a pressing need to address this issue. Mayor Hanks said it certainly could be deferred. Councilman Meland felt it might be appropriate to check with the City's 1 legislative liaison, Pat Jensen, to elicit the political activities surrounding this law. He was aware of the fact that for a number of years the brewing industry has been wanting to eliminate 3.2 beer. Councilman Duffy thought it would be interesting to' find out exactly what is the difference between 3.2 and strong beer, i .e. is there a significant difference or is it a matter of wording. It was moved by Councilman Mitchell , seconded by Councilman Friedman, to table the item. The motion passed 6-1 (Councilman Backes opposed) . lld. Honeywell permit Councilman Strand said he received a notice in the mail from EPA with respect to a Resource Conservation Recovery Act permit applied for by Honeywell . He asked for additional information about activity on site currently and what additional hazardous waste they are anticipating bringing onto the site and what the effect will be. The City Manager said it was his recollection Honeywell was going to change something on its site, not a major thing, but now every time a change is made on site, a permit must be obtained. He said he would research the item. It was moved by Councilman Strand, seconded by Councilman Mitchell , to'research the permit application at Honeywell and report back to'Council . The motion passed 7-0. -141 4111/ - City Council meeting minutes July 6, 1987 MISCELLANEOUS i 12a.

He said the White Sidewalls concert was postponed until next Sunday because of rain. , He reminded Council to plan now for the National League of Cities conference. 12b. City Manager A study session proposed agenda was discussed. The City Manager suggested Council might want to continue its deliberations on the firefighters matter immediately after the meeting. Councilman Strand complimented staff on the letter to Mark Andrew detailing the City's recycling success. The City Manager directed the compliment to the members of the Public Works department who were responsible for this report and program. Councilman Friedman referred to the direct mailing brochure for the GAC 110 plant. He felt it was not appropriate at this time for the brochure to be distributed. It was his recommendation everything be put on hold. It was the consensus of Council that staff has done an outstanding job in all matters relative to the GAC plant and its functioning and that when the carbon testing is completed, the feeling was at that point we would move forward on track. CLAIMS, APPROPRIATIONS, CONTRACT PAYMENTS 13a.
