RESOLUTION NO. 90-11
A RESOLUTION FINDING NO NEED FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
WORKSHEET FOR THE PARKING LOT EXPANSION AT THE
MINNEAPOLIS GOLF CLUB
WHEREAS, the Minneapolis Golf Club (2001 Flag Avenue South) has applied for an
amendment to their Special Permit to permit the construction of additional off-street
parking, and
WHEREAS, a petition requesting the preparation of an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet was forwarded to the City by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board and
was received on January 5, 1990, and
WHEREAS, the petition was analyzed by City staff and a report was prepared to the
City Council, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered the facts related to the need for
preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet,
THEREFORE, the City Council of St. Louis Park hereby makes the following
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. It is difficult to substantiate the allegations contained in the petition inasmuch as the
likely type and extent of the effects suggested are either nonexistent or minimal and
violation of state or local standards is not suggested.
2. There are no related or anticipated future projects associated with this request and it
does not appear that there will be additional cumulative effects resulting therefrom.
3. The environmental effects which have been suggested are subject to mitigation by
the regulatory authority of the City and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
4. Other environmental studies conducted in the community support the conclusions
that the potential impacts are minimal or insignificant.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of St. Louis Park, Minnesota
hereby finds that the proposed parking facility for the Minneapolis Golf Club does not have
the potential for significant environmental effects and the petitioners' request to prepare an
Environmental Assessment Worksheet is hereby denied.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that notice of this decision shall be conveyed to the
Minnesota Environmental Quality Board, the Minneapolis Golf Club and the petitioners'
representative.
