91
6a. Mann Theatre application for theatre license at 5400 Excelsior Blvd
There being no one wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the hearing with the right of Council to
thereafter reopen and continue it at a future date
It was moved by Councilmember Haun, seconded by Councilmember Friedman, to authorize the
City Manager to issue a theatre license to Mann Theatres Inc.
The motion passed 7-0.
Steve Mann, owner of Mann Theatres, addressed the Council. He questioned why his license fee
was $2500 based on the size of their complex. He felt this was totally out of line compared to
what they are paying for licensing in other communities.
Mayor Hanks asked that staff report back to Council on theatre licensing fee structure
6b Fina Gas Station application for 3.2 off-sale beer license at 6405 Minnetonka Blvd.
There being no one wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the hearing with the right of Council to
thereafter reopen it at a future date.
It was moved by Councilmember Friedman, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to reject the
application as incomplete.
The motion passed 7-0.
6c. Conditional Use Permit: Halley's Custom Homes, 3900/3904 Cedar Lake Rd.
and 2144 France Ave.
The following individuals addressed Council to express their opposition to this project. Medora
Perlman, 2109 Ewing Ave. So , Minneapolis, Lynn Levine, 1941 Ewing Ave. So , Minneapolis;
Latinalajoy Laramee, 3121 Grand Ave So , #2, Minneapolis,Nancy Gibson, 2712 Glenhurst Ave
St. Louis Park.; Susu Jeffrey, 200 Oliver Ave. So , Minneapolis; Gayle Crose, 4000 Highwood
Rd., St. Louis Park; Bettey Goodman, 2211 So. Hill Ln., St Louis Park; Heidi Novak, 4141
Vincent Ave. So., Minneapolis; John Grzybeke, 1324 Hanford Ave ; Ed Steinberg, Ted
Korzoweski; Kerry Ahlberg(several people did not complete cards and their names are not
available.)
Dennis Trooien, attorney for Mr. Halley, addressed Council. He addressed a number of concerns
expressed in staffs report He commented that a number of comments made by the opposition to
Mr. Halley's project were in error.
Councilmember Friedman asked when he expected Minneapolis would give their confirmation or
non-confirmation to the overflow as part of the resolution from the Watershed District
i
92
Mr. Trooien said it was tough to predict what another city was going to do. He said they were
working with them now. Everytime he has asked, he has been told the City of Minneapolis has no
problem with the project.
Councilmember Friedman said it was his understanding that the permit was granted conditioned
upon written confirmation that overflow onto Ewing Ave was acceptable to the City of
Minneapolis That's the Watershed's resolution. Is that correct?
Mr. Trooien said substantively that was correct although he did not yet have a copy of the letter
from Minneapolis. He said he could not predict when they would hear from Minneapolis which
has had their plans for review for over two months
Councilmember Dorfman assumed Mr Trooien was aware that the City of St. Louis Park
is bound by the conditions as set forth by the Watershed District as well. Mr. Trooien said
he was.
There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the hearing with the right of
Council to thereafter reopen and continue it at a future date
It was moved by Councilmember Friedman, seconded by Councilmember Dorfman, to reopen the
hearing and to continue it to June 19, 1995 at which time the City of Minneapolis might have
given its approval which the Council can then review
Councilmember Dorfman wondered if, in an Environmental Impact Study conducted a year ago,
had the portion in St. Louis Park been covered
Councilmember Friedman said this will give the City an opportunity to look into matters which
are of significant concern to him and the matter of the EIS can be included in those concerns
Councilmember Young noted the motion was to approve subject to conditions He realized it was
felt being subject to conditions was sufficient protection in the past to allow a proposal to go
forward. He asked if this was a special or unique situation tonight In other words, is it necessary
to wait two weeks. He recalled that some three weeks ago a project was approved in his Ward
contingent upon approval being received by the watershed district.
Councilmember Friedman, while respecting Councilmember Young's comments, felt that each
issue should be examined on its own merits He felt other concerns had come up, that the
residents he represents had concerns which he takes very seriously. He felt there were enough
unanswered questions he would like staff to resolve before voting in finality
Councilmember Dorfman said it was her recollection that when items had been approved
conditionally it was based on terms being met by the applicant. In this instance, it is a condition
needing to be met by a third party
93
Mayor Hanks felt it important to remember that if it hadn't been for the need to fill, the property
would probably have been developed when the rest of Lake Forest was developed
The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Young opposed)
6d. Alley paving: 2700 block between Salem and Toledo Avenues, Project 94-22
Resolution 95-73
Richard Lang, 2743 Toledo, spoke in favor of the alley paving.
There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the hearing with the right of
Council to thereafter reopen and continue it at a future date
It was moved by Councilmember Friedman, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to adopt
Resolution 95-73 entitled"Resolution ordering Improvement Project 94-22, approving plans and
specifications and authorizing receipt of bids for construction of a concrete alley in the 2700 block
between Salem and Toledo Avenues"
Councilmember Friedman recalled that even though a resident does not have a garage on an alley,
they would still be subject to assessment in the future if they did construct a garage
Mr. Rardin said there was direct and indirect benefit If you can access your property from the
alley, one would be directly benefitted if you can access your property from the rear
111
Councilmember Friedman noted it was tough to put berms on streets and alleys because of winter
snowplowing However, one resident of the neighborhood had said rather than raised bumps to
control speed, how about if you gouge them Is that possible?
Mr. Rardin said he would look into that and get back to Council.
The motion passed 7-0
6e. Request of Nortel Cable to transfer control of KBLCOM from Houston Industries
to Time Warner
Resolution 95-74
Barry Grogan, attorney for the City in cable matters, was present to answer questions.
In answer to a question from Councilmember Dorfman, Mr Larson said the Cable TV Advisory
Commission had reviewed Mr. Grogan's report and that report would be forthcoming to the
Council.
Councilmember Friedman asked if there was any reason the Council should look at not agreeing
to the requested transfer.
94
Mr. Grogan said the legal, technical and financial qualifications of Time Warner had been
reviewed and no basis was found on which the City could support a denial of the proposed
transaction.
There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor closed the hearing with the right of
Council to thereafter reopen and continue it at a future date
It was moved by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Dorfman, to adopt
Resolution 95-74 entitled"Resolution approving the transfer of control of KBLCOM, Inc from
Houston Industries, Inc. to Time Warner, Inc."
Councilmember Latz said when he was door knocking several residents had mentioned the lack of
cable channels available in the City that are available elsewhere. He wondered when the
opportunity to address this would come.. Mr Grogan said the appropriate time to consider
amendments to the existing franchise would be at the time of re-franchising
Mayor Hanks believed the Citizens Cable TV Advisory Commission was the best route to discuss
addition/deletion of channels.
The motion passed 7-0.

RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES
8a. Comprehensive Plan Amendment - 1625 Zarthan Ave. (Honeywell site)
Resolution 95-75
Mr. Harmening said a resolution changing the land use designation as directed by Council was
before them tonight and he briefly reviewed the recommendation presented by staff. Basically,
staff was suggesting insertion of new policies within the existing Comprehensive Plan which
relates to the redevelopment of the property which would place some limits on the size of
commercial development on the site, policies related to limiting parking, promoting open space
Encouraged would be quality of design/architecture and mixed uses Secondly the resolution
would offer an amendment to the land use map changing the land use classification from industrial
classification to a commercial. To this end staff recommends the creation of a C-3 zoning distrist
which would address the unique characteristics of the site and the Comp Plan amendments as
discussed above.
Bill McHale, Ryan Construction, addressed Council. Their concerns remained the timeframe to
accomplish the timeline Mr. Harmening laid out vis-a-vis Honeywell's plans and tenants to whom
commitments have been made who plan to open in 1996; and talks with staff about creation of a
cooperative agreement. He presented two new concept plans both downsized from the original
6
95
plan and incorporating increased green area The concept with increased open space would
require assistance from the City in the form of$750,000 to make it work He felt Ryan had
addressed some of the concerns they had heard from Council
Ben Steinberg, 5801 Cedar Lake Rd , spoke He said he appreciated the changes the developer
had made to the original concept plan, however, even though there was a little more green area
which was helpful, the proposed project was still too large and residents remain opposed
Councilmember Friedman said he had found Bill McHale to be diligent in addressing some of the
' changes Council sought and he had no problem with Ryan Companies or Mr. McHale. He wanted
to make two motions.
It was moved by Councilmember Friedman, seconded by Councilmember Dorfman, to adopt
Resolution 95-75 amending the text of the plan by neighborhood chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan and amending the land use designation of 1625 Zarthan Ave. from Light Industrial to
Commercial in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan policies and contingent upon
approval by the Metropolitan Council
Councilmember Young asked if Met Council approval should not be received before Council
approves anything.
The motion passed 7-0. -
It was moved by Councilmember Friedman, seconded by Councilmember Dorfman, to direct staff
111
to initiate amendments to the City's Zoning Ordinance to implement the adopted Comprehensive
Plan policies by creating a new C-3 Zoning District with uses permitted by PUD
Councilmember Haun referenced a letter dated June 5 from Honeywell and Ryan stating the
motions before Council to be unacceptable.
Bill McHale said Honeywell and Ryan feel there is no criteria for a C-3 District. They have
suggested alternate language, zoning becoming B-2 and development of a cooperative agreement
which would lay out specifics.
Mr. Sheehy addressed Alternative Motion#2 (passed out to Council) which was a motion to
direct staff to prepare a cooperative agreement which could be used under either a C-3 or a C-2
zoning district. It was not determinative of the motions on the table, but drawn up for the Council
should they wish to consider it.
Councilmember Friedman asked if any of the Council had seen the motion referenced by Mr
Sheehy. He felt it was inappropriate and inexcusable. As representative of this district, he did not
appreciate being blind-sided by something such as this new Motion#2
Councilmember Friedman called the question The motion failed 1-6 (Councilmember Friedman in
favor; Councilmembers Jacobs, Haun, Latz, Young, Dorfman, Hanks opposed).
111i
96
Councilmember Latz asked if there would be any legal obligation on Ryan's part to sign on to a
cooperative agreement
Mr. Sheehy responded it would be his view that Ryan could take the position that the
cooperative agreement be limited to those conditions that are in C-2, i e it would either not be
enforceable because it is not required by City ordinance or in the event Ryan agreed to it they
could agree only to those land use conditions set forth in C-2.
Councilmember Latz said it seemed Ryan was asking to be trusted, but because of the vagueness
they sense in the proposed C-3, they ought to be willing to trust the Council to put together PUD
requirements which will meet the needs of both Ryan and the City.
Mr. McHale said in order for Ryan to know what the criteria is for all parties, they would be
willing to continue the motion on the guide plan for 2 weeks and work with staff to develop a
cooperative agreement to be approved before any reguiding is done.
Councilmember Friedman asked if there was anything in the C-3 that would prohibit the
development of either of the 2 plans he submitted.
Mr. Harmening said there was not yet language for a C-3. Depending on how the C-3 zoning
district is written and how Council views the restrictions to be, it's possible the plans could be
acceptable depending on how the regulations for C-3 are written
Mayor Hanks said he would not want to see a C-3 created to satisfy the Council.
Councilmember Dorfman felt, with all the input from everyone who has spoken to Council,
Council's responsibility now is to have a Zoning Ordinance that is in compliance with the Comp
Plan. The question what gets the City there? Is it a C-2, a C-3 Her problem with the C-2 was the
3 conditions. access to a roadway identified in the Comp Plan as a collector or arterial so that
access can be provided without generating significant traffic on local residential streets; a buffer
yard shall be provided along all lot lines abutting property in an R-use district; and all buildings
and structures to be set back a minimum of 25 ft. from any abutting propertry in an R-use district
There isn't much to work with in the C-2 and C-3 conditions can be written specifically
Councilmember Latz said that no matter what, he would want the Council to ultimately control
the destiny of the site He reiterated his comments of several weeks ago with regard to his
concerns about the impact on the economic vitality of other businesses in the City. He supported
an economic impact analysis being done before the any project proceeds much further
Councilmember Haun asked if nothing was done tonight to change the zoning, if it was
Honeywell's intent to continue to develop the property as light industrial warehouse site Mr
Bowen from Honeywell said it would be their intent to move existing leases into the site and at
the same time looking with third parties to use the remaining part of the building and thereafter
develop a larger part of the site.
97
Councilmember Haun wanted what was best for the community, but he had a hard time walking
away from a project that is going to create the taxation that this site will. He felt it was time to
make a decision or drop it.
Mr. McHale said he was more than happy to work with staff during the next 2 weeks to come up
with C-2 or C-3, whatever, as long as their plan or some variation of it fits in
Councilmember Jacobs did not want the property revert back to light industrial and certainly a
warehouse was not a win for any parties involved. He also was not enamored of the City spending
a lot of money on the project. He asked what Mr. McHale felt the City should come up with in
terms of a cooperative agreement.
Mr. McHale said he didn't think staff could do a zoning ordinance in 2 weeks What they were
proposing was that the cooperative agreement would spell out the area staff is concerned about,
i e. berming, materials, screening, rooftops, buffers, open space, etc , the areas in the C-2 they
don't believe are clear enough or detailed enough. His thought was if Ryan and the City then
come to a cooperative agreement and understand what the criteria is, they would then be able to
determine if a plan they are proposing would fit
Tim Keane, attorney for Honeywell, was present to reassure the City Council that Honeywell
does have every interest in working cooperatively with the City in coming up with a reuse of the
property of which all parties can be proud. Honeywell's concern with creation of a new zoning
district was that the window of uncertainty would be extended probably 2 months He felt a
cooperative agreement could also embody proposed amendments to the C-2 district and
incorporate parameters, conditions and performance standards that would agreeable to all
Councilmember Jacobs asked if the Council had to act on the C-2/C-3 issue this evening
He was suggesting that Council delay a decision on whether it is to be C-2 or C-3, identifying the
problems Council sees, identify the problems Honeywell and Ryan would like to have identified
and make the decision on the 19th
Mr. McHale said he only needs to know what will be in C-3 and he had no problem working with
staff in the intervening 2 weeks.
Councilmember Young asked if a draft of the C-3 zoning standards could be available in 2 weeks
Mr Harmening said staff could do that
Councilmember Young suggested that Council either withdraw the proposal or vote it down and
move to defer for 2 weeks and direct staff to work out a cooperative agreement defining what the
C-3 is.
The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Young opposed).
98
b Second reading of ordinance vacating utility easement along north side of
Knollwood Mall (T. J. Maxx addition)
It was moved by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Haun, to defer second
reading until the new easement is granted
c. Second reading of ordinance re proposed expansion of Pets in Parks program
Ordinance No. 95-2032
Councilmember Young felt this was a reasonable compromise between opening up all parks to
dogs and not permitting them in any parks. On a trial basis, four parks were opened up and it
seemed to work out It seemed reasonable to allow 10 parks out of 60 in the City to have this
available.
It was moved by Councilmember Young, seconded by Councilmember Haun, to adopt Ordinance
95-2032 entitled"An ordinance amending the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code Section 6-406(1) to
establish rules and regulations governing the presence and conduct of pets in the City parks"
Councilmember Latz said he had spoken to staff on how they planned to gather data over the
summer in order to report back to Council and how they planned to enforce the ordinance
Mr. Gears responded that components of the program included education of the public
particularly the dog owners, on-going evaluations by part-time and full-time City staff in the field.
Enforcement will be as with any other City ordinance with backup
from the Police Department if
necessary.
The motion passed 6-1 (Mayor Hanks opposed).
8d. Second reading of ordinance adopting the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code
Ordinance No. 95-2033
It was moved by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Haun, to adopt Ordinance
No. 95-2033 entitled "An ordinance amending the St. Louis Park Municipal Code, Section 8-301
" Minnesota Uniform Fire Code incorporated by reference"
The motion passed 7-0.
REPORTS FROM OFFICERS, BOARDS, COMMITTEES
9a Request for goose removal from along Minnehaha Creek
Irwin Mandel, 3231 Flag Ave. So.; Bob Jorvig, 3200 Hillsboro Ave. So., Len Aberle, 3345
Decatur Ln.., spoke in favor of removal of the geese.
99
It was moved by Councilmember Latz, seconded by Councilmember Young to approve the
request with conditions as outline in staffs report. Also that staff initiate a study of a feeding ban
of geese in the City
Mr. Gears said the Cedar Manor neighborhood has reported at least 50 geese on private property
there. He told them about the discussion this evening and that the council may be looking at the
option of removal from private property with funding from private sources. He suggested
Council might want to broaden its motion to include residents in other neighborhoods.
Councilmember Latz agreed and added to his motion that the geese removal program be made
available to any neighborhood subject to the same conditions.
Mort Lieder, 3337 Decatur Lane, expressed his opinion that the sum of$700 for removal was
very modest and that the City should pay it as it is a health hazard, the residents along the creek
pay very high taxes which is more of a benefit to the City than what other taxpayers pay
The motion passed 7-0.
9b Approval of 1995 budget calendar
It was moved by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Haun, to approve the
calendar.
The motion passed 7-0.
9c. Application for Minnesota City Participation(First-Time Homebuyers Program)
It was moved by Councilmember Friedman, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to approve
submission of an application for the Minnesota City Participation Program
Councilmember Dorfman asked if under MHFA requirements is there any way the City can set
aside a certain percent of the recipients to be individuals who are currently City residents
Mr. Harmening said the way the program is structured that is not possible.
Councilmember Young asked if the program had once been in place, why was it discontinued
Mr. Harmening said the program has been around for several years and the City was last involved
in 1990. That program related more to providing assistance for rehabing units as well as some
down payment assistance.. He believe the reason the City has not recently been involved is
because interest rates have been so favorable
The motion passed 7-0.

9d. City Engineer's report: W. 39th St. & France Ave. traffic signal system
Resolution 95-76
Councilmember Haun said this was initiated by Minneapolis and he would be most interested in
seeing the results of the St Louis Park neighborhood meeting
It was moved by Councilmember Haun, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to adopt Resolution
95-76 entitled"Resolution accepting the City Engineer's report, establishing a public hearing and
authorizing a neighborhood meeting for construction of permanent traffic signal system at the
France Ave. and W. 39th St. intersection"
Councilmember Young said he would certainly want to see strong support from City residents as
the City's share of the light would be approximately$23,000.
The motion passed 7-0.
9e. Proposed open space study/Development moratorium
It was moved by Councilmember Latz, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to accept the
recommendation in staff's report.
Councilmember Young understood this would basically foreclose development on any open space
in St. Louis Park for the length of the process. He would prefer something that was less
restrictive, perhaps more in the vein of residentially zoned property only rather than foreclosing
possibility on commercial or industrial that Council might actually want to see some proposals for
development in the next year. .
Councilmember Dorfman suggested an interim ordinance be prepared and then go to Planning
Commission and Parks and Rec Commission rather than coming to Council. Mr. Sheehy said in
discussion with the City Manager that was the intent.
Councilmember Haun recalled Council had asked staff to inventory open space and felt that could
now be done before a consultant is hired.
Councilmember Latz felt this process was long overdue with the City almost being totally
developed. He felt it important that stock of the open spaces be taken now.
The motion passed 7-0.
9f. Traffic Study No. 499. Traffic,controls at Brookside Ave./W. 42nd St.
Councilmember Haun noted this was an important issue to the neighborhood He said there was a
problem with children going to Jackley Park at 42nd St. He said there was a stop sign at 41st, put
there when the school was a City school He felt it important to order in the 42nd St. stop sign
101
--
and if there is a problem with the one at 41st that in the Fall a neighborhood meeting could be
' held concerning whether or not one of the signs could be removed.
It was moved by Councilmember Haun, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to install the stop
sign at Brookside at 42nd.
Mayor Hanks felt that the neighborhood meeting should be held first. Councilmember Young
. concurred
Councilmember Haun withdrew his motion
It was moved by Councilmember Jacobs to move the staff recommendation which would call for a
neighborhood meeting
Councilmember Haun rephrased his motion, seconded by Councilmember Young, to direct staff
to hold a neighborhood meeting as soon as possible and return to Council as soon as possible.
The motion passed 7-0.
9g. Traffic Study No. 500: Traffic controls at Minnetonka Blvd./Aquila Ave.
Councilmember Latz said this was brought at his request after he received a call from an elderly
constituent who was trying to cross Minnetonka at Aquila and was nearly hit by a car heading east
on Minnetonka. He asked what was the process of notification to people who bring these sorts of
concerns to Council.
Mayor Hanks said most generally the Councilmember themselves alert a citizen that it is coming
up on an agenda.
Mr. Rardin spoke about reflective aspects of upgraded signage in answer to a question from
Councilmember Latz.
Councilmember Latz said there was a staff comment about installing an advance sign of some sort
to indicate a pedestrian crossing ahead and to reduce speed to 20 m p h. He asked Mr Rardin
what that was
Mr. Rardin said this would be a device to warn drivers there was a pedestrian crossing ahead and
they should slow down even if they can't see it That has been requested of the County and he
expected that would be approved.
It was moved by Councilmember Latz, seconded by Councilmember Young to leave as is for now
the traffic controls and that the City pursue with the County the request for the advisory speed
plate at 20 m.p.h. and to upgrade the advance signage for reflectivity and color if the State would
approve the color change and make whatever appropriate allocations of funds that may be
necessary.
