Title: St. Louis Park Parktacular Ambassador introduction, recap and retirement recognition
Recommended action: The 2018-2019 St. Louis Park Parktacular Ambassadors will be in
attendance to introduce themselves to city council, and talk briefly about their year and some
things they have learned from representing the community. They will also be recognizing two
directors who will be retiring at the end of Parktacular this year.
Policy consideration: None
Summary: St. Louis Park Parktacular Ambassadors visit communities in the Twin Cities area and
western Wisconsin. Besides representing the festival, they promote the City of St. Louis Park
and the excellent schools. As an inclusive program, St. Louis Park is one of three communities
(Hopkins and Woodbury being the others) who have representation from children, young
adults, and seniors. Parktacular is the only program that has consistently had young men
representing the city, as well as racial and ethnic diversity. Many other communities admire
how successful Parktacular is in getting a cross-section of the citizens of our city to represent
our own community. Parktacular Ambassadors are public servants and promote St. Louis Park
as a place where all ages, religions, and ethnicities can live, learn, and participate in a strong
community, which is well represented by the Parktacular Festival.

8. Resolutions, ordinances, motions and discussion items
8a. First reading of ordinance regulating mobility sharing operations
Mr. Manibog presented the staff report.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he supports this, but is cautiously optimistic, as he sees
bike litter as a potential problem for the city. He added he wants to be cautious about
this and revisit the ordinance in the fall.
Councilmember Harris asked if there are guidelines for parking and storage of bikes and
scooters when not in use. Mr. Manibog stated this is outside of the ordinance, and not
part of the motion this evening.
Councilmember Harris added it will be wise to get guidelines in place and to be
proactive. She stated she will support the ordinance.
Councilmember Mavity stated we are in the midst of a transportation revolution, and
with things changing so quickly, she would like to have the structure in place, noting the
ordinance will help to facilitate that. She also stated she will support this, and asked if
the ordinance will be consistent with what Minneapolis is doing, in light of St. Louis Park
being part of the bike trails and the city’s proximity to the lakes.
Mr. Manibog stated yes, the ordinance will cooperate with any other bordering city.
Mayor Spano stated while he does support this, he has concerns about bikes being left
around the city, and asked if there will be conditions in which bikes or scooters can be
impounded, and how the city might handle this.
Mr. Manibog stated if an abandoned bike creates a danger or hazard, it will be removed.
He added in other agreements staff reviewed from across the country, there is an
expected response time to have bikes removed, usually within 24 hours, adding this will
be handled within the licensing agreement, but not within the ordinance.
Councilmember Rog stated she has been in cities where scooters are picked up by
residents and charged at home, and folks earn money for doing so. She added this
encourages scooters to not to be left around, and new eco systems may develop around
this.
Councilmember Miller stated he is also excited about this ordinance, but he too has
concerns. He asked when staff will be meeting with companies to review licensing
agreements.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 1, 2019
Mr. Manibog stated the ordinance will be in effect by May 10, 2019. Currently, staff is
working on RFQ’s to companies, and waiting to hear back by end of day Friday, April 5,
to then review applications and make decisions. He stated the program will be in place
this summer.
Councilmember Harris added she wants to ensure residents have access to bikes to get
to key destinations within the city including the West End and shopping centers.
Mr. Manibog stated a minimum of 40% of the devices are deployed in certain sections
of the city, including in many multi-family housing areas. He added access has all been
reviewed through the equity lens.
It was moved by Councilmember Harris, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to approve
first reading of the ordinance regulating mobility sharing operations and set second
reading for April 15, 2019.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Brausen absent).
8b. First reading of right-of-way ordinance
Mr. Elkin presented the staff report.
It was moved by Councilmember Miller, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to approve
first reading of right-of-way ordinance and set second reading for April 15, 2019.
The motion passed 6-0. (Councilmember Brausen absent).
8c. Historic Walker Lake area approving final plans and specifications, and
authorizing advertisement for bids (4018-1050). Resolution No. 19-045.
This item was moved from the consent agenda and Ms. Heiser was available for
questions from the council.
Councilmember Rog asked about street lights and the cost differential on standard vs.
decorative lighting.
Mr. Harmening stated currently the city is installing standard street lights, for safety and
lighting in the district, noting that pedestrian level lighting can be added at a later date.
Councilmember Rog asked if a special service district was added to the area at a later
date, would there be added costs to then include decorative street lights in the Walker
Lake Historic District.
Ms. Heiser stated currently conduit will be laid in the area, and if there is a future
special service district added, pedestrian-level lights can be added. In addition, standard
street lights can also be traded out and reused elsewhere in the city.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 1, 2019
Councilmember Rog asked about poetry in the sidewalk. Ms. Heiser stated staff is
looking into adding this to the project.
Councilmember Rog stated she was not clear on how it was settled related to investing
in the Walker Lake Historic area, adding she hopes the city is not missing an opportunity
right now, and she wants to think about the end user experience for residents.
Councilmember Rog stated she also has concerns about a disruption in the area to
businesses during construction, and asked about ways the city can be proactive during
this time.
Ms. Heiser stated staff is scheduling property and business owner meetings. She added
the city parking lot will be kept open and signage and communication will be included in
the project. Ms. Heiser stated staff will invite the business owners to the weekly
construction meetings, and has developed an email list for notification, while two staff
members are assigned to the project at all times.
Councilmember Rog thanked staff for the great work being done to make this a reality,
adding while infrastructure improvements are important, she also wants to stay on top
of additional improvements in the future.
Mayor Spano stated the Walker Lake project is a microcosm of the SWLRT project,
adding this is an opportunity for all to think creatively on how to manage this. He added
it would be helpful to have staff meet with the City of St. Paul related to outreach for
the green line project, and also to make good use of communications, pop-up events,
and working with the neighborhood creatively and early, in order to avoid challenges.
Councilmember Harris stated this has been a long-awaited project, and the
neighborhood is eager to move forward. As it relates to disruption in the area, she
suggested there be an ‘adopt a business’ program implemented, and folks encouraged
to proactively support these local businesses in order to ensure this remains a thriving
neighborhood.
Councilmember Miller added this is a big step in the soul of St. Louis Park, along with
the Texatonka and Miracle Mile areas. He stated this project will help the high school
and football field while revitalizing the entire school district. He added with the help of a
grant to get things started, and the addition of businesses such as Sota clothing, the
American Legion, and restaurants, there is momentum happening here. He stated he is
in favor of these improvements and would also like to see more place making with
lighting, art, and corridor improvements in the future.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Miller, to approve
Resolution No. 19-045 approving final plans and specifications and authorize
advertisement for bids (4018-1050).
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Brausen absent).

1. Future study session agenda planning – April, 2019
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed study session agenda for April, 2019. He noted on April
22, there will be a groundbreaking that council members will attend, just prior to the LBAE
meeting, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. that same day.
2. Community center project
Ms. Walsh noted the report is available for council as background, and was developed out of
the 2005 – 2007 city visioning process. She stated a feasibility study and schematic design were
developed, and then council stopped the process, and did not pursue it any further.
Mayor Spano stated he and the council wanted to look at the project again now, and address it,
to decide if any additional measures or information should be given to staff at this time related
to the community center.
Councilmember Mavity stated previous councils had done much work and study on the
community center concept. She continued different sites were reviewed and the council then
decided to hold on the project related to budget pressures and the fact that SWLRT came into
the picture. She stated the council will need to now decide if this is still a priority, adding she is
sensitive to costs of the potential project, which will not have a revenue generating component.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if this is still a priority in the city. He added in the most recent
visioning process, the community seemed as though it was not in the same place with this
project.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 2
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
Councilmember Harris stated in Ward 3, constituents are interested in seeing more amenities
and are supportive of a potential community center. She added the central western side of St.
Louis Park has the highest percentage of low-income school lunches and the highest percentage
of apartments.
Councilmember Rog noted she is interested in this concept around the request from STEP for a
family service center type of operation. She added the city has just invested in two significant
facilities and it seems odd to be talking about another, stating she would like to look at
repurposing the Sam’s Club facility or another location, if the council decides to move forward
on this.
Councilmember Brausen stated a survey in 2011 noted that 23% of folks wanted more trails and
23% wanted a true community center with indoor play area. Others wanted a covered hockey
facility – which the city has addressed with the ROC. He stated the council may want to go back
to the community to see if they are still interested in a community center concept. He stated
the costs were very substantial, but he would like to engage in a conversation that has meeting
rooms, and health and wellness programs, but is not a huge center. He added he would also be
interested in discussing the STEP proposal as well.
Councilmember Miller stated he has not heard much talk in the community about this, adding
this did not come out in the most recent visioning process either. With the ROC and Nature
Center now added and upgraded, he would not want to add the cost of a community center to
the mix. He added he is not interested in spending council and staff time on this concept, but
would like to discuss the STEP proposal, which might fit a need the city is not serving today.
Mayor Spano stated the concept was very expensive when first introduced 15 years ago.
However, he acknowledged that Councilmember Harris brings up a good point related to the
Texatonka area of the city. He agreed the city was a totally different community 15 years ago,
adding the city now has gathering spaces including the ROC and the Nest. He added money
could be better spent in smaller increments around the city, noting the needs and interests of
the community have changed, and he does not have any interest in staff researching this, as the
city now has bigger priorities to pursue.
Councilmember Harris agreed.
Councilmember Mavity stated a community survey in the next couple years could be an option
for further discussion.
It was the consensus of the city council to not pursue the concept of a community center at this
time, but to keep listening to the community, in case interests change.
3. Zoning regulations for ground floor transparency requirements
Ms. Monson stated after several months of reviewing ground floor transparency requirements,
the planning commission voted 6-0 to recommend denial of the ground floor transparency
ordinance draft. She stated the vote was based on concerns about lack of flexibility both
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 3
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
externally and internally for retail and commercial spaces, and placing undue burdens on
businesses.
Councilmember Mavity stated this is about a philosophical framework, adding the council
outlined visibility and walkability as a directive, and this decision is a big change drawn from the
comprehensive plan, where the city prioritizes people first, then bikes, and then cars. She
added this directive helps create balance between pedestrians and cars.
Mayor Spano added the planning commission’s decision is a stark difference from the staff
recommendation, and asked the commission to explain.
Commissioner Kraft stated she agrees with the nice pedestrian environment, but felt the
ordinance limits business and architects and developers on their designs.
Commissioner Robertson agreed, adding while the concept of the ordinance is good, there is a
place where you draw the line. He stated the ordinance is too limiting, and he disagrees that a
blank wall is a bad thing, especially when design can juxtapose and include artwork on the wall.
He added 65% transparency is not a lot of flexibility, and while the intent is correct, the
ordinance feels too limiting. He also stated that 65% minimum transparency could conflict with
building energy goals and the climate action plan.
Commissioner Carper stated he drove all over the city, viewing different businesses, noting that
25% of businesses in the West End, Excelsior and Grand, and on Lake Street are vacant. He
stated the city needs to help businesses run their business, and noted some shops cover their
windows from the sunlight, so it won’t fade their goods. He stated the ordinance is limiting and
government interference with business operations will drive business out of St. Louis Park.
Commissioner Johnson agreed with her fellow commissioners.
Councilmember Miller stated he agrees with the planning commission on this case, and noted
the differences between destination businesses and shopping stores, and the size of stores in
the city’s C1 districts being all around 5,000-10,000 square feet. He added no windows are
typically found in destination stores, so smaller stores are needed in walkable areas, where
windows will be included.
Councilmember Hallfin stated this seems logical to him as well, and thanked Councilmember
Miller for his tutorial on destination vs. shopping stores. He added, however, the one window
that bothers him is the breakroom area window on Excelsior Avenue.
Councilmember Rog stated it is good to hear from the planning commission on this topic,
adding she struggles going against the staff recommendation on this. She added the city has all
kinds of requirements, as do other cities, on transparency and for walkability, and this is a
reasonable requirement for the outcome the council is seeking. She added, however, she is still
sorting out where she falls on this issue.
Councilmember Harris stated there are some grocery stores in Minneapolis that have windows
and transparency, which inspires curiosity about what is inside. She added these stores are in
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 4
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
walkable, retail areas that are nice. She asked the planning commission what they would
recommend to create walkable experiences in St. Louis Park.
Commissioner Robertson stated every project is unique, and not one size fits all. He noted at
Louisiana Avenue and Cedar Lake Road there are six shops, and it is half a block long. He added
it’s a small area and it needs to be walkable, but it’s not a 10-block long area where folks can
walk a long way in front of the shops. He said let each development design appropriately for
the site and businesses that are there.
Councilmember Harris stated for the ordinance under consideration, she would like to table the
discussion and give greater consideration to the problem that is to be solved.
Councilmember Mavity stated the council and planning commission have a different
perspective on this, but no matter what, there are guidelines to follow, adding we have to land
somewhere along the continuum. She noted staff recommends 65% transparency, which is
within the norm.
Councilmember Mavity added the council’s job is to actually create the environment outside
those buildings, for folks walking by. She noted not every business is appropriate for every area,
but stated we don’t need to let the market figure this out, noting we are building toward the
next 100 years, not only for what is in front of us.
Councilmember Mavity stated this ordinance is the appropriate tool, and creating walkability
and a safe place to walk, while it may not be perfect, it is a tool that the city has to use. She
added the city gives developers a lot, and it’s okay for the city to ask for something back that
fulfills the ideals of the city. She stated we are building to a future of what the city wants to see,
and this needs to move forward now, before more development comes into the city.
Councilmember Brausen agreed with Councilmember Mavity, adding he is supportive of the
staff recommendation on this.
Commissioner Carper stated when considering walkability, he would like to also see benches
added to these areas, especially in the Excelsior and Grand area, and up to Bridgewater. He
added there are those who can’t walk long distances so there needs to be more spaces to sit
down and reflect.
Councilmember Mavity agreed, adding there is nothing at Excelsior and Grand that prevents
driving either. She asked about other cities, such as Denver and Cincinnati and their
transparency and walkability.
Commissioner Robertson stated these cities are bigger than St. Louis Park which is more
limited; however, he does agree the city needs to have a minimum transparency.
Mayor Spano stated the council also needs to be careful about comparisons with other cities.
He agrees in principle with Councilmember Mavity, but added we are missing a discussion of
ways to look at walkability, and this should go back to staff for further review. Mayor Spano
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
added the entire planning commission is at odds with the staff recommendations, and he is
worried about that.
Councilmember Miller stated he finds it odd the council is discussing this very small bowl item,
adding they should be looking at the C1 guidelines vs. discussing one offs and changing that for
the goal of walkability.
Councilmember Mavity stated the council needs to be careful about how big of a scope this
issue is for staff, adding the application clearly is not working here, with what the council
intended.
It was the consensus of the city council to have the planning commission meet with staff to
revise the ordinance, and then bring the ordinance back for city council’s consideration.
4. Planning commission annual work plan
The planning commission presented their annual work plan to the council.
Councilmember Rog asked about home occupations and why this is on the commission’s
“parking lot” list for future discussion when this is scheduled to be presented to council. Mr.
Walther stated planning commission generated its work plan in December. Interest in a broader
review of home occupations was not raised by commissioners or Councilmember Rog until
more recently, and other items on the list were more urgent and a higher priority based on the
2040 comprehensive plan. The city council as a whole has not yet discussed the issue or
provided policy direction. This item will be presented for the first time in June at a study
session, along with information on timing and priorities.
Councilmember Rog asked if the study session will address both ADUs and home occupations.
Mr. Walther stated both will be discussed in June as requested by city council.
Councilmember Harris asked the planning commission where transportation fits into their
priorities and if a transportation commission or task force might be valuable.
Commissioner Robertson stated yes, transportation transcends many areas, and a
transportation commission would be worth discussing, as it could help bridge both planning
and zoning together.
Commissioner Johnston added the planning commission would like more communication with
staff on bikes and trails, as well as background about what the council is planning with
transportation, especially when new developments come to the planning commission.
Councilmember Mavity thanked the commissioners for serving on the planning commission,
and asked about form-based code for transit-oriented development near the future light rail
transit stations, noting the report says the commission initiated this. She asked if this is the
right time to discuss the topic.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 6
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
Mr. Walther stated the last time form-based code was presented to council was in August of
2015. The city shifted efforts to Vision St. Louis Park and the St. Louis Park 2040 comprehensive
plan, and the intent is to re-introduce form-based code as an appropriate tool to implement
transit-oriented development land use surrounding the light rail train stations. This topic will be
shared with city council later in 2019.
Mayor Spano asked the planning commissioners what sort of things come up in their
discussions, as they talk with, listen to and engage the community.
Commissioner Robertson said they are still working on how to engage with the city’s diverse
population; however, it has been difficult as the diverse populations do not always engage in
the process.
Mayor Spano stated he saw in the planning commission’s minutes that there are hardly ever
more than one or two people in attendance to speak on an issue, and added the council has
tried to move meetings out of city hall, to locations where impacts are happening. He stated
this is very important to the council.
Councilmember Rog asked about the food security study, if the commission has any ideas about
that, and what a task list might look like for the planning commission.
Commissioner Robertson stated the planning commission recognizes the issue, but they are not
sure how to address it through zoning. The commission will review the results of the study.
Commissioner Johnston added many community members look at the planning commission as
only a recommending body and save their speaking on issues for the council. Commissioner
Johnston added by the time a topic reaches the planning commission, they know there has
already been a lot of discussion with staff, developers and neighborhoods.
Mayor Spano asked Youth Commissioner Franklin if she liked the idea of having at least two youth
on the planning commission, and what she thought of creating a youth panel.
Commissioner Franklin stated both were good ideas for allowing youth to weigh in on topics. She
added students might also be more comfortable talking at meetings if there were two students in
attendance.
Councilmember Hallfin added, as he has mentioned in the past, the National League of Cities
meeting in November has many cities that send their youth members. He stated it would be a great
idea to send some youth from St. Louis Park, and he is hopeful this can be done in the future.
Mayor Spano stated a study session topic on a transportation commission would be helpful.
Commissioner Johnston added it would also be helpful to have a wide range of ages on a
transportation commission, in order to hear from all age groups.
Councilmember Mavity liked the idea of a transportation commission, but noted before doing this,
it would be helpful to start with an ad hoc transportation group to scope out some questions and
issues.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 7
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
Councilmember Rog stated she supports the idea of an ad hoc committee as well, on
transportation and other areas, adding this is a good idea also for folks who are interested in
serving on commissions, but are not selected.
Commissioner Robertson stated the planning commission would like to have more thorough
background from council on issues that come to them, and would also like to continue
communications between the council and planning commission, so as to understand what the
council is looking for.
Councilmember Rog asked how the planning commission gets their questions to council answered.
Commissioner Robertson stated the questions all go into the minutes, and the commission hopes
they are seen by council and addressed. The commission relies on staff to share the key issues in
staff reports and presentations as well.
Councilmember Mavity added the council and planning commission work together and clarification
of roles of the planning commission and council would help. She noted the planning commission
makes sure the technical requirements of the city are met, while the council’s job is to address the
policy issues. She added the council also needs to be sure they are giving the planning commission
enough guidance.
Mr. Walther added the planning commission’s role is also to gather public input and provide their
own input and make recommendations to city council on ordinances and current planning, zoning
and subdivision applications within the context of the city’s long-range plans. He noted this effort
saves the council time, provides other perspectives, and helps the council to make informed
decisions.
5. 2019 Connect the Park update – Dakota/Edgewood bikeway and bridge (4019-2000)
Mr. Sullivan presented the report, and provided an overview of the project and update of the
preliminary design process. He noted this project is scheduled to have a public hearing at the
April 15, 2019 council meeting, and council will be asked to take final action on this project at
the May 6, 2019 meeting.
Councilmember Harris stated she met with several residents today that live in the 32nd and
Dakota area and are impacted by the project. She stated there are concerns related to the
restricted parking on both sides of the street, and at the meeting, the residents offered to come
forward with three suggested design changes, while requesting the same of the city.
Mr. Harmening pointed out this project will affect four wards in the city, with parking
restrictions, and concerns about losing parking.
Mr. Manibog stated some folks will have one side parking, some have driveways, and others
have an alley for parking.
Mr. Sullivan stated when adding biking along a corridor, something will be lost, so one-sided
parking and flipping from one side to the other was included, with narrowing of streets at key
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 8
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
intersections. He stated the project adds in bike lanes, but is not reconstructing the corridor to
balance bike needs and parking needs.
Mayor Spano asked why the parking flips from side to side along the corridor. Ms. Heiser stated
it has to do with land use approvals.
Councilmember Harris asked how they can minimize the impact at 32nd and Dakota, adding the
residents felt putting parking on one side only would help. She added the residents don’t realize
this is public space. She asked for some leniency on what is proposed in the plan.
Mr. Harmening stated starting last September, three meetings have been held, notices
distributed, and meetings and information put on Next Door, social media, the city website, and
folks did turn out for meetings. He added the notices did not say parking would be eliminated
from one side of the street, but just asked folks to come to the meeting for information on the
project. Now some residents are saying this was not explained fully by the city in the notices.
Mayor Spano stated, however, when staff starts including all details in the notice, there is
always the risk of excluding items as well.
Councilmember Rog disagreed with not mentioning the potential impacts to residents in the
notices, adding the city does better when all the potential things that might occur are
discussed.
Mr. Harmening pointed out, however, that citizens do have a responsibility after receiving three
notices and multiple postings in social media, to seek out more information if they have
questions and concerns. He added the city notified 1,000 people.
Councilmember Rog pointed out a photographer on the corridor whose customers will now not
be able to park in front of her business near 32nd and Dakota.
Councilmember Hallfin stated the city has been through this many times before and it is
difficult; however, he will go with staff’s recommendation on this. He added when he gets
emails from folks who have had ample opportunities to engage and do not – this does not hold
weight with him.
Councilmember Mavity stated the city has a larger goal of a connected community, adding that
one of those goals is to put bike lanes there. She stated this is a critical connection within this
whole system and is for the whole community. Councilmember Mavity added the council wants
to make sure they are listening, but we will not make three recommendations for this group of
residents. She stated the city has a professional staff that do that, adding she does not want to
delay this project.
Councilmember Miller asked why the cost has gone up so drastically due to the bridge design
costs. He also asked about the city’s forecasted use of the bridge.
Mr. Sullivan explained $1 million for the bridge is land acquisition, along with materials and
labor cost increases, as well as railroad and landfill cleanup. He added usage forecast on the
bridge is hard to determine, but it will be used by pedestrians and bikers, adding that over 125
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3c) Page 9
Title: City council study session minutes of April 8, 2019
students live north of the railroad tracks and have difficulty getting to Peter Hobart School and
fields, so the bridge will help with this.
Councilmember Brausen stated his constituents want this project and have been asking when it
will be done. He stated the city needs to do it, and the public process around it has been fine.
He stated if this impacts folks, they need to show up at the meetings, and the city cannot
placate everyone. He added he is in favor of staff’s plans.
Mayor Spano asked about the bridge design and the large lots of land needed. Mr. Sullivan
stated staff looked at over 25 designs, and many have problems related to ADA compliance,
and challenges with accommodating both bikes and pedestrians, adding the design presented
works well.
Mayor Spano stated a north-south connection through the community was identified early on
for connecting the city, and he is excited this is finally getting done. He stated he has cost
concerns, but understands the issues. Mayor Spano stated if there is a way to find a solution for
Ward 3 residents, he would like to try to mitigate their concerns. However, there will always be
some folks that are upset, but Connect the Park is a city priority, and sometimes we can’t
address every concern. He added the idea of bartering with residents is not fair or appropriate.
It was the consensus of the city council to proceed with the recommendations in the staff
report and the public hearing on April 15, 2019.
Mr. Sullivan stated staff will continue to review this and respond to feedback of residents.
Councilmember Harris stated the project is a huge quality of life initiative with more safe routes
to school and a bikeway connection from Peter Hobart to the High School, adding that most
folks are in favor of bikes lanes, if they didn’t lose parking. She added she is disappointed there
is not more support from the council for parking on one side of the street only.
The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m.
Written Reports provided and documented for recording purposes only:
6. Proposed property acquisition – 5643 Minnetonka Blvd.

City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3d) Page 3
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 15, 2019
6a. 2019 Connect the Park – Dakota/Edgewood Bikeway and Bridge
Mr. Manibog presented the staff report. He noted the preliminary design and public
process, stating the segments included in the project are:
• Dakota Ave bikeway between Dakota Park and Lake Street
• Edgewood Avenue multi-use trail between BNSF railroad right of way and Cedar
Lake Road
• Pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the BNSF Railroad connecting Edgewood
Avenue and Dakota Park
Mr. Manibog noted the project will come before council for final decision on May 6, and
construction would then begin in early spring of 2020 and be completed in late 2020.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity opened the public hearing.
Jody Fahey, 3325 Dakota Ave., asked on what part of Dakota Avenue will there be no
parking. Mr. Manibog stated south from Minnetonka Boulevard there will be no parking
on one side of the street. Moving from Minnetonka Boulevard to East 32nd Street, there
will be no parking on the west side, and past 32nd Street, no parking on the east side to
the south end of the corridor.
Ms. Fahey noted this is great for bikes, but asked staff and council to think about the
impact to the neighborhood. She stated she lives directly across from the high school,
and has no garage, while sharing a driveway, and has a permit to park there. She asked
council what the benefit is for the city here, where will people park during elections, and
where parents will park when going to the high school. She stated there is no benefit
here and only money being spent.
Chris Fahey, 3325 Dakota Ave., stated he has been frustrated for many years with all the
people that park on Dakota Avenue and go to the high school, especially on voting day.
He added if they lose their street parking, on voting day he will post the council’s voting
record on a yard sign.
Derek Reisen, 2044 Idaho Ave., stated he is enthusiastically in favor of this, since he lives
on the north side of the railroad tracks and feels isolated there. He added he has been
excited about this since 2012, and supports Connect the Park, especially with the
overpass. He stated this will be a great plus for the community and he appreciates staff,
adding they were very responsive in addressing neighborhood concerns.
Cynthia Muldonado, 3243 Dakota Ave., stated she has lived in St. Louis Park for 20 years
and thanked the council for doing their job. She liked the idea of the bridge and
connecting the park, and asked for a way to have a win-win with parking. She worries
that Dakota Avenue is a fast street, and if parking is taken way, speeds will increase. She
wants to work with the council, but prefers parking on one side of the street.
Mary Delahunt, 3121 Dakota Ave., stated she has been a St. Louis Park resident since
March 1 when her daughter bought a house on Dakota Avenue. She stated there is no
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3d) Page 4
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 15, 2019
room to park on the property, and they were assured there would be on-street parking.
She stated it is not a wide street, and it’s a huge hub, with walkers and bikers to school
on a daily basis. If she had known, her daughter would have purchased in Golden Valley.
She added they were told there were no assessments coming, adding that many folks
are not privy to the city website to get information.
Marc Berg, 2913 Webster Ave., stated he is in favor of staff recommendations. He
stated he is an administrator of the Facebook group for Bike in the Park, noting the
history of this group, discussions around protected bikeways along Dakota Avenue, and
making the city more pedestrian and bike friendly. He explained this also came out of
the visioning process and the fact that people want to see the city more connected. He
added Dakota Avenue is a critical north south route for city connection, and everyone
wins with this plan. He thanked council and staff for their work on this.
Lori Fulls, 3247 Dakota Ave., stated she used to live in Uptown, but there was no parking
there, so she purchased a home in St. Louis Park and loves it here. She added she does
not want to leave, but is upset with this plan, and would like to see the council delay this
decision in order to work together as a team. She has concerns about her friends and
family not being able to park on the street and would like to see anyone over 18 who
rides a bike, purchase a tab to help subsidize this project.
Dave Carlson, 7006 West 23rd St., stated he has lived here over 30 years and been
involved in bike safety issues for the city and on the Hennepin County Bike Advisory
Council. He stated St. Louis Park does a wonderful job, and he was on the visioning
committee, which began discussing Connect the Park 15 years ago. He added the bridge
will be a huge north south connection and the Dakota Avenue bikeway will be very
important to this connection. He understands folk’s concerns, but is hoping for a
compromise.
Susan Tadewald, 3148 Dakota Ave., started a petition of folks on Dakota Avenue that do
not approve of the project. She said it is interesting that those who approve of the
project don’t live on Dakota Avenue. She has 76 people that signed the petition who live
on Dakota Avenue and are upset. She felt the council was not accommodating Dakota
Avenue residents, adding that kids she works with at the high school will not be able to
park in front of her house, as well as deliveries, and she is asking for alternate options.
She stated this impacts parking and residents’ quality of life, and while most residents
like biking, those in favor of the project don’t live on Dakota Avenue.
Dale Stenseth, 3153 Edgewood, thanked the council for all their years of public service
and noted he sent an email to them with his opinions on the project. He stated he read
the original letter from the city about the project, and found it very misleading,
disingenuous, and dishonest. He urged the council to avoid this in future projects. He
stated this sounded like a project with minor changes, but not a word was mentioned
about the loss of parking for residents. He stated he is not sure if this was deliberate,
and he heard virtually no consent, while tactics were used to demoralize residents. He
added it doesn’t matter if the public goes to meetings and speak, the council will do
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3d) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 15, 2019
what they want. He urged the council to change those tactics in the future and
communicate with residents.
John Jacobs, 3034 Dakota Ave., stated he has been a resident since Thanksgiving of 1975
and is very much in favor of bikes and bike trails, but not in favor of the project as it is
shown now on Dakota Avenue. He stated with Parkway Pizza and Speedway, there is a
lot of congestion, along with lots of traffic from the high school and on Minnetonka
Boulevard. He asked the council to do what Minneapolis has done with bike boulevards,
adding this would be a better way to handle the project.
Chad Lautz, 3104 Georgia Ave., stated he is a business owner and has dealt with
construction before. He is glad he is not the owner of Parkway Pizza, and while he does
not oppose biking, this is not the way to do this.
Lynn Stobble, 3056 Dakota Ave., said her biggest concern is the bike lanes, while she is
fine with the bridge. She did not understand that parking was going to be eliminated
and noted last year, there was parking all over for the Christmas Train, and she had
trouble getting into her driveway. She stated the area doesn’t have enough parking and
her neighbors to the south will have a hardship with nowhere to park. She suggested
angle parking, adding they are a close-knit walkable community. She stated the
neighborhood needs parking, although she does understand the need for biking also.
Jessica Ferrazzo, 3038 Dakota Ave., stated she moved into her house on Dakota Avenue
one week ago. She added she is 25 years old, and is now upset and regretting her
decision to purchase her home. She researched this, but now is losing parking on both
sides of the street. She added she was planning to stay in her home and raise a family
there, but now she won’t.
Graham Fairchild, 3200 Dakota Ave., stated he has lived on Dakota Avenue for 18 years,
and thanked everyone who spoke tonight, including those in favor of the project. He
stated this is what America does, they work together in the cities and communities and
small towns, and you get better results for it. He stated this is a quality of life issue for
those living on Dakota Avenue, adding that renters do not invest in the community, they
are transient, and don’t take care of the homes they live in. He stated if the project is
approved, he will not stay and his quality of life will be destroyed. He is pro-bike, but
stated the council must consider the elderly and handicapped before bikes. He knows
not everyone can be pleased, and he appreciated the council’s time, but asked them to
look at these folks as family.
Erin Freidman, 3236 Dakota Ave., stated she lives near the high school and has family
visit often. She is a single home owner and hosts Sunday dinners for 12-14 people each
week. She is frustrated with night football games, events and voting, which pushes
parking farther back, adding the impact is big and massive. She stated there is room for
negotiation, and while she is for biking, she asked the council for further conversation
on this so as not to destroy parking on Dakota Avenue.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3d) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 15, 2019
Bruce Browning, 3225 Dakota Ave., stated he echoes what everyone has said and has
lived there since 1979. He knows the city well enough to know you don’t make stupid
decisions, adding he remembers when Dakota Avenue flooded the city fixed it. He
stated everyone cares about the community, and he hopes the council will hear what is
being said tonight.
Jeremy Hanson, 3209 Dakota Ave., stated this project would alter property values on
Dakota Avenue, and asked how his friends and family would park. He stated the city has
other options and plans and to look at how parking and bike lanes were addressed on
Texas Avenue. He added he rides a bike, and has concerns about Minnetonka Boulevard
to the bridge lanes which will be narrower. He stated there are lots of other options to
look at, which are more beneficial to the neighborhood, and asked about making the
crosswalk safer at the school, and adding school zone signage.
Fo Vo, 3624 Lynn Avenue Apartment, stated he approves of what the council is doing, as
he comes from a family of 7 and they all ride bikes. He added his family does not ride on
Dakota Avenue because it is a high-traffic area and dangerous. He approves of the
bridge, but not through this route, and maybe a less heavy traffic block would be better.
He added rather than having no parking zones, add bike stripes, similar to what Blaisdell
Avenue has.
Colleen Creighton, 3221 Dakota Ave., requested the council take additional time to look
at more plans to benefit the bikers and neighbors. She stated this project has created
upheaval, and impacts lives and day-to-day activity on the resident’s properties.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Harris thanked each person who spoke adding notes were taken for
staff to answer residents’ questions. She asked staff if there are ways to modify the
design of the project, and would there be enough time to explore costs of design
modifications prior to the May 6 council meeting.
Mr. Manibog stated prior to May 6 would not be enough time.
Councilmember Harris asked if council can delay the decision on the bikeway between
Minnetonka Boulevard and Lake Street, and not jeopardize federal funding for the
bridge. Mr. Manibog stated yes, they could delay and not jeopardize federal funding.
Councilmember Harris asked if there is an opportunity to separate a portion of the
project of Minnetonka Boulevard and Lake Street from the rest of it. Mr. Manibog
stated technically it is possible to separate those two projects.
Councilmember Harris asked if staff can bring the Minnetonka Boulevard to Lake Street
portion of the project back later this spring or summer after there has been additional
community engagement. Mr. Manibog stated yes.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3d) Page 7
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 15, 2019
Councilmember Rog thanked residents for coming and emailing their concerns and
hoped they had felt heard. She stated the process needs to unfold in a proper way, and
also asked if there were any solutions to the Parkway Pizza parking challenges. Mr.
Manibog stated staff can bring this back to council and present more information.
Councilmember Hallfin thanked all who came out and spoke this evening. He stated he
has been on the council for 8 years, and anytime there is a heated public hearing and
frustrations come out, it can be difficult. However, he stated, nothing is done until the
council votes on it. He added he wants folks to understand the council is processing all
the information and he was encouraged by the public process this evening. He noted
not all will be happy with the outcome, but Councilmember Harris’ point about re-
evaluating a portion of the plan is valid and the council will think about a win-win here.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated this has been a thoughtful and very calm and civil
conversation, adding she feels this is democracy in action, and this is what it’s all about.
She stated no one has the whole picture, and residents bring insight and information to
help form council’s decisions. She stated we all have good intention and hopefully will
bring us to a better outcome. She added we will see what staff can do with the proposal
to split this project and noted that everything residents submitted will be part of the
public record.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated the decision will be made by council on May 6, to approve
whatever version is appropriate at that point.
7. Requests, petitions, and communications from the public – None
8. Resolutions, ordinances, motions and discussion items
8a. Best Cleaners conditional use permit and variance. Resolution No. 19-050.
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report. She stated the applicant requests a CUP to
continue operating a drive-through window serving a laundromat and dry cleaning
business, and a variance to reduce the required west side yard width 10 feet, from 15
feet to 5 feet.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity asked if the drive-through top was also non-conforming. Ms.
Kramer stated if it’s over 5%, it would be non-conforming; however, the applicant is
proposing to change that.
Councilmember Rog asked about condition #3 related to “all venting shall be at least 30
feet from the west property line” and if that is the condition proposed for the vents.
Dave Colehour, 1043 Park Lane, Victoria, the applicant, stated he did not see this until
today. He explained he needs to add boilers on the north and west side of the addition,
along with venting, which is state code.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3d) Page 8
Title: City council meeting minutes of April 15, 2019
Councilmember Rog stated her primary concern is residents, and if staff is not
concerned, she is fine with it and was just checking.
Councilmember Harris asked about the 25-foot variance and if it is generally 30 feet due
to noise concerns. Planner Kramer stated there is no need for a variance for placement
of vents. Mr. Morrison added if the council wishes to reduce the venting from 30 feet,
they can do so, and it is not a code requirement.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if the exhaust being discussed is from the boiler or dry
cleaning chemicals. Mr. Colehour stated the exhaust is venting for the boiler.
Mayor Pro Tem Mavity stated setbacks were created to address concerns related to
residential properties adjacent to this, and asked if staff has recommendations. She
further noted if staff doesn’t have clarification right now, this may have to come back to
council. Mr. Morrison stated if the building is 15 feet from the property line, then vents
can be put anywhere on the building.
It was moved by Councilmember Harris, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 19-050, approving a conditional use permit and side yard variance for a
building addition at 8105 Minnetonka Blvd, amending condition #3, so as to have the
building be at least 15 feet from property line.
The motion passed 5-0 (Mayor Spano and Councilmember Miller absent).
8b. Ordinance regarding outdoor parking lighting standards
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report.
It was moved by Councilmember Harris, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to
approve first reading of an ordinance revising lighting standards for outdoor parking,
and set the second reading of an ordinance for May 6, 2019.
The motion passed 5-0 (Mayor Spano and Councilmember Miller absent).
8c. Ordinance regarding the board of zoning appeals
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report noting the reason for the request.
It was moved by Councilmember Hallfin, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to
approve first reading of an ordinance assigning the individuals serving on the planning
commission to the board of zoning appeals, and set the second reading of an ordinance
for May 6, 2019.

Title: City council meeting minutes of April 15, 2019
Councilmember Brausen requested this item be pulled off the consent agenda for
additional discussion. He stated in the future, he would like this to be titled
Neighborhood Vitalization Grants. He added he wanted to discuss this further and
elevate it for the public, noting these are opportunities to use city funds for commercial
building in neighborhoods. He stated these are grants to neighborhood associations to
do creative projects and enhance aesthetics, or address a known community deficiency.
He added the grants are to help with a community building, for environmental or racial
equity purposes as well, and encouraged residents to contact staff for further
information.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Harris, to
approve the 2019 Neighborhood Grants.
The motion passed 5-0 (Mayor Spano and Councilmember Miller absent).

City council study session
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
April 22, 2019
The meeting convened at 8:55 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Rachel Harris, Anne
Mavity, Thom Miller, and Margaret Rog.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Economic Development Coordinator (Mr. Hunt),
Director of Community Development (Ms. Barton), Principle Planner (Ms. McMonigal), Planner
(Ms. Monson), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas).
Guest: ESC Commission members: Ryan Griffin, Bridget Rathsack, Larry Kraft, Katie Christiansen,
Nicole Ciulla; Dean Dovolis and Michael Margulies, DJR Architects.
1. Future study session agenda planning – May, 2019
Councilmember Mavity asked for a written report on the city’s housing activity as it relates to 23%
AMI and below.
Councilmember Rog asked if the STEP discussion is on hold until the Community Center is further
discussed. Mr. Harmening stated yes.
2. Parkway Commons development proposal
Mr. Dovolis presented the design proposal, stating Sela Group, LLC, the developer has acquired
12 properties along 31st Street to develop Parkway Commons. The proposed development
includes 191 new residential multi-family apartment units in three buildings. The proposed
development would also include the rehabilitation of two existing apartment buildings.
Mr. Margulies explained the project area has 55 naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH)
units and the developer is proposing to demolish 41 of the units and renovate the remaining 14
units, keeping those rents affordable. Under the city’s inclusionary housing policy, the
developer would be required to replace all existing NOAH units that are demolished. The
developer is requesting a change from that requirement to reduce the number of new
affordable units in the proposed project from 55 to 41, in consideration for keeping the 14
renovated units as affordable. Mr. Margulies stated the developer owns many other NOAH
properties in St. Louis Park, and is also proposing to assist existing tenants in relocating to other
apartments he owns within the city, or elsewhere, with similar apartments, similar rents, and
financial assistance for relocation.
Councilmember Rog stated after meeting with the developer several weeks ago, she is
generally supportive of the project as it is, adding it’s a good location. She added more
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3e) Page 2
Title: City council study session minutes of April 22, 2019
discussion needs to take place related to the 1 for 1 replacement of NOAH properties, as well as
being aware of how this will fit into the city’s climate action plan.
Councilmember Rog asked about building #4. Mr. Dovolis stated it is still in negotiations, and
pointed out it will be located in the far southwest corner of the project.
Councilmember Rog noted that 44% of the city’s residents are renters, and asked about
congestion in the area and future plans. Mr. Dovolis stated they plan to include trails,
sidewalks, and create more intimate space by changing the nature of the streets, and including
bump outs, green space, and landscaping.
Mr. Dovolis asked if the council would consider creating a connection there to France Avenue,
to West 31st Street and if so, this could help alleviate congestion in the area as well.
Councilmember Harris commented on stormwater management in the area. Mr. Dovolis stated
there will be need for a storm system to deal with overflows and reduce water load from city
streets. He added by reducing pavement areas to help with water management, operating costs
go down, and while cars drive slower a better neighborhood feel is created.
Councilmember Harris stated this resonates with the city’s living streets policy, and creating
more green space in the area. She stated the project feels like a campus of housing and asked
how many buildings would be owned and managed there. Mr. Dovolis stated that all the
buildings are rental units and will be owned by the developer.
Councilmember Harris noted the city’s affordable housing policy, adding this project would be
close to light rail transit and a shopping area, all within walking distance. She stated the city
does not have a lot of affordable housing within proximity to these amenities, and it will be
important to keep NOAH units in that location, especially with TIF taken into account here.
Councilmember Miller said he supports the concept in general, adding this area can support
density. He likes that the project is creating a neighborhood and asked what the city’s formal
procedure is for determining the exact number of NOAH units. Ms. Monson stated this will be
addressed when the developer submits the formal application.
Councilmember Miller agreed with Councilmember Harris adding he wants this area to be as
affordable as possible and to see affordability spread out across the city, not in pockets only.
Councilmember Mavity reminded the council of the city’s inclusionary housing policy, which is a
25-year commitment, and must be indistinguishable from market units. She stated she does not
want to put affordable housing in other properties, and would want to find other ways to meet
the inclusionary policy, such as going higher than 4 stories and reducing parking requirements,
especially since there is close proximity to the light rail.
Councilmember Mavity stated she is generally supportive of the concept, and would want to
build higher, adding TIF would make sense here as well.
Councilmember Brausen agreed with Councilmember Mavity.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3e) Page 3
Title: City council study session minutes of April 22, 2019
Councilmember Hallfin pointed out the house at 4015 Inglewood Ave. and stated this may be
one of the oldest homes in St. Louis Park adding he wants the developer to be cognizant of that.
He added he is in favor of the project and the density is fine.
Mayor Spano also supported the project, adding he would also like the developer to look at
mid-block crossings here. He appreciated the fact that the buildings are unique, and agreed
about land use changes and TIF. Mayor Spano stated he supports the inclusionary housing
policy and appreciates the creativity mentioned by the developer; however, he is reluctant to
make exemptions for the ordinance. He noted one of the principle tenants of the housing
ordinance is that folks will not be displaced and he does not want to push affordable housing
into other various buildings and places in the outside of the city.
It was the consensus of the council to support questions 1, 2, and 4, but to continue discussions
related to question 3, affordable housing.
3. 2019 Work plan for Environment and Sustainability Commission
Ms. Rathsack noted the commission’s 2019 work plan goals:
a. Advising city council and staff on Climate Action Plan (CAP) and sustainability
topics
b. Business engagement in the city’s CAP
c. Resident engagement in the city’s CAP
d. CAP tracking and support
Mr. Griffin stated the commission is very thankful for support from the council on the CAP;
however, they are frustrated things are not moving as fast as they could be. He stated there are
several items that can be quick wins right now related to the CAP, including having the city
purchase 100% renewable energy to offset energy use in municipal building – the EP3 policy
which was unanimously adopted by the council in 2015.
Additionally, Mr. Griffin noted the ESC requests that the council accelerate the energy
benchmark ordinance and have the ordinance in place by the end of 2019. Thirdly, the ESC
requests a monthly standing study session item be discussed by council to review CAP priorities
and measures, with ESC involvement.
Mr. Griffin stated the Roots and Shoots volunteers have begun to meet with city businesses;
however, there is only so much that volunteers can do, and the city must make this a priority
and engage staff and the council in this process.
Ms. McMonigal added that staff is working with Twin West Chamber on a program reaching out
and talking with businesses, including the city’s Environmental Coordinator.
Councilmember Harris stated early conversations related to the CAP were very enthusiastic and
she agreed the city needs to transition to clean energy sooner rather than later, and needs to
demonstrate to businesses that the city is committed. She asked staff what it would take
financially to convert the city to renewable energy and is it feasible to do it within the next 12
months.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3e) Page 4
Title: City council study session minutes of April 22, 2019
Ms. McMonigal stated staff has researched this and it would take an estimated $100,000 in
costs per year to do this. Councilmember Harris stated this becomes a budget question then.
Councilmember Harris asked about the process for benchmarking. Ms. McMonigal stated this
would be the record keeping piece, and would be an ordinance that staff would ask the council
to adopt. Mr. Griffin added there might be opportunities to provide incentives for businesses to
purchase electricity, and this might need to be considered.
Councilmember Harris stated she supports both the renewable energy and benchmarking
requests of the ESC, but does not feel the council can include monthly reviews of the CAP
priorities at this time.
Councilmember Rog agreed with Councilmember Harris and asked if the ESC has a connection
to the consultant.
Ms. Rathsack stated the ESC has met twice with the consultant, and Mr. Griffin noted the
consultant only presents at the commission meetings to communicate; however, it is not the
goal of the consultant to meet CAP goals.
Mr. Harmening noted part of the consultant’s duties are to have them help staff meet goals on
the roadmap. Ms. McMonigal added the consultant will be at the May and June ESC meetings
as well.
Councilmember Mavity asked about the green purchasing policy and if it has been
implemented. Mr. Harmening stated yes it had, and includes the city purchasing green products
for cleaning.
Councilmember Mavity noted that race equity has been implemented into the city’s day to day
operations, and asked how staff is imbedding the CAP into its daily operations and budgeting.
She stated the city needs to continue to move forward on this and hold itself accountable, and
asked if it can be addressed in the upcoming budgetary meetings.
Mr. Harmening stated yes, it will be discussed in upcoming budget discussions for 2020, and
there is more to be done. He added the $100,000 per year might be better used as incentives to
businesses.
Councilmember Mavity noted, however, it will be difficult to ask businesses to do something
that the city is not doing. She added she wants to understand more from the consultant. She
also noted the council will not be able to meet once per month related to the CAP; however,
she would like a 6-month check in with the ESC, and quarterly written reports.
Councilmember Miller stated the renewable energy is a slam dunk, and if the city is spending
millions on things that don’t meet goals, this can be one step. He also agrees with the
benchmark ordinance and would prefer to meet more often for discussion. He stated he values
the ESC and would like consistent feedback from them. Councilmember Miller stated we are
not moving fast enough and he is frustrated as well. He added going from business to business
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 3e) Page 5
Title: City council study session minutes of April 22, 2019
with volunteers is not the way to do this, and the city must invest in order to get the
commercial sector on board.
Councilmember Brausen added this is the singular most important challenge for our generation
to address, and he is willing to spend money in order to get to renewable energy, as well as
incentivize. He stated this is a priority and he likes the benchmarking ordinance, adding this all
needs to happen as soon as possible and must be built into the city’s budget. Councilmember
Brausen added at some point, the city will need to require businesses through regulation to
meet these requirements, and he is open to meeting with the ESC 2-3 times per year.
Councilmember Hallfin asked about the budget’s discretionary funds and if any were available
to use on these items. Mr. Harmening stated the discretionary funds were used on race equity
and climate action. Councilmember Hallfin commented the city must lead by example and find
a way to take care of the low-hanging fruit. He stated he appreciated the ESC coming forward
with this information and would be open to meeting with them 1-2 times per year.
Mayor Spano added the city cannot talk to the business community if they are not doing
renewables. He stated the benchmarking ordinance needs to move forward, and he would like
to see more information from the ESC on a regular basis, perhaps with a monthly written report
and a quarterly meeting. He added he has a contact at Twin West that he will connect with
further on these issues.
It was the consensus of the council to support the ESC’s requests for Windsource and the
benchmarking ordinance and to meet with the ESC once every 6 months and have a written
report from the ESC every quarter.
Communications/meeting check-in (verbal)
Ms. Carrillo Perez has interviews set up for Monday, April 29 and May 6th, for potential HRC
members. She will send out both applications again to the council for scoring of the two
candidates.
The meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m.

Executive summary
Title: Ordinance regarding outdoor parking lighting standards
Recommended action: Motion to approve second reading and adopt Ordinance revising
lighting standards for outdoor parking, and approve the summary ordinance for publication.
Policy consideration: Does the proposed zoning ordinance amendment promote safe and
effective lighting for parking lots, and protect neighboring properties from nuisance lighting?
Summary: An ordinance was presented to the council on January 7, 2019 that established
standards for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and revised lighting requirements for
parking lots. The council approved the (EVSE) standards, but tabled the parking lot lighting
revisions.
Staff reviewed the Illumination Engineering Society (IES) recommendations and determined
that less significant modifications to the current regulations could be supported and still
provide lighting that is both safe and has minimal impact on adjacent properties. Therefore,
staff revised and reduced some of the light levels recommended in the previous draft
ordinance. Staff provided a summary of these changes in a March 11, 2019 study session report
and presented to the council at the March 25, 2019 study session.
The purpose of the proposed changes is to provide safe, secure and effective lighting for users
of parking lots in the city. The changes also reconcile conflicting provisions in the current
ordinance. The changes allow for more lighting during business hours in order to address the
needs of all users, require lighting to be reduced after business hours, and continue to protect
neighboring properties from nuisances that can be caused by outdoor lighting.
City council held a first reading of the ordinance on April 15, 2019 and voted 6 to 0 to approve
the ordinance.
Financial or budget considerations: No considerations.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.
Supporting documents: Ordinance

Title: 2018 year end equity transfers
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing fund equity transfers.
Policy consideration: Will the proposed transfers help insure the city’s various funds remain
financially stable?
Summary: This report includes information on the projected level of fund balance in the
General Fund and proposed transfers between funds for the year ending December 31, 2018.
The need for transfers between funds is analyzed each year and information is forwarded to
council for approval prior to completion of the audit. Transferring excess fund balance from the
General Fund to other funds ensures that funds align with the city’s fund balance policy, long
range financial management plan and capital improvement plan, and provides appropriate
funding for one-time expenditures with one-time revenue. The city has routinely made equity
transfers from the General Fund in the past.
Financial or budget considerations: The proposed transfers will direct resources to funds
where needed and help to attain long-term financial sustainability. Resources will also be
assigned for specific future projects and support one or more strategic priorities.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship. St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for
people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably. St. Louis Park is
committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

Title: 2018 year end equity transfers
Discussion
Background: At the end of each calendar year, funds are analyzed along with the long range
financial management plan and capital improvement plan to determine if transfers should be
recommended to meet fund balance policy requirements, to assist with long-term sustainability
of other funds, and to provide funding for specific projects.
Present considerations: As per the December 31, 2017 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR), the unassigned fund balance in the General Fund was $17,054,520, which was equal to
45% of the 2018 budgeted expenditures. The city’s fund balance policy states that the city will
strive to maintain an unassigned fund balance in the General Fund that is within a range of 40%
to 50% of the following year’s budgeted expenditures with a target of 45%, and that any excess
amount can be transferred to other funds, primarily for one-time expenditures. The city’s policy
follows the Office of the State Auditor’s recommended fund balance guidelines and aligns with
that of AAA rated cities.
Staff anticipates that the unassigned fund balance in the General Fund for the year ending
December 31, 2018 will increase to approximately 47.8% of the 2019 budgeted expenditures if
no transfers are made. Therefore, $1,090,000 will be available to transfer to other funds to
maintain a reserve near the target of approximately 45% of the subsequent year’s budgeted
expenditures.
After review of the most current long range financial management plan, staff is recommending
transfers of $380,000 to the 2019A Debt Service Fund (Nature Center), $275,000 to the
Pavement Management Fund, $100,000 to the Employee Administration Fund, $100,000 to the
Uninsured Loss Fund, and $185,000 to the Permanent Improvement Revolving (PIR) Fund.
Cumulatively these transfers equal $1,040,000. The remaining $50,000 was originally proposed
by staff to be included in the transfer to the Pavement Management Fund. However, based on
council direction at the April 22 study session, staff has taken steps to sign up all of the city’s
remaining electrical accounts to the Xcel Energy Windsource program starting June 1. The
additional cost to the city to participate in this program for the remaining part of the year is
approximately $50,000. As this expenditure was not included in the 2019 budget, staff is
recommending that these dollars be used to fund this program. Given the Windsource program
requires a three year commitment, the additional cost to participate in the program will need
to be included in future budgets beginning with 2020.
With these recommended transfers to other funds, the unassigned fund balance in the General
Fund for the year ending December 31, 2018 is projected to be at approximately 45% of the
2019 budgeted expenditures at completion of the audit in May.
What follows is more information about these recommended transfers.
2019A Debt Service Fund – Transfer in of $380,000:
As discussed previously, this transfer will fund the interest payments due August 1, 2020 and
February 1, 2021 on the bonds issued in April for the nature center. Capitalized interest will be
utilized for the first interest payment due February 1, 2020.
Study session meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 4d) Page 3
Title: 2018 year end equity transfers
Pavement Management Fund – Transfer in of $275,000:
The Pavement Management Fund provides funding for pavement rehabilitation projects within
the city. The primary funding source for pavement management is gas and electric franchise
fees. Additional resources are anticipated to be needed for projects in the current higher
bidding market, and an equity transfer of $275,000 from the General Fund to the Pavement
Management Fund is proposed.
Employee Administration Fund – Transfer in of $100,000:
The Employee Administration Fund covers personnel related costs such as workers
compensation, tuition reimbursement, unemployment, retirement flex leave payouts, wellness
and other employee initiatives. This fund began receiving a property tax allocation in 2012, as it
did not previously have a dedicated funding source and relied on periodic transfers from the
General Fund. Due to retirements that have occurred and are anticipated, a transfer of
$100,000 is recommended to this fund in 2018.
Uninsured Loss Fund – Transfer in of $100,000:
The Uninsured Loss Fund covers the city’s costs of liability and property damage claims not
covered by insurance and costs until the annual deductible and aggregate limits have been met.
The only revenue sources for this fund are claim recoveries from third parties and the annual
property/casualty dividend returned by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. A
transfer of $100,000 is proposed from the General Fund to help with the cost of sewer back-up
claims.
Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund – Transfer in of $185,000:
The intended purpose of the Permanent Improvement Revolving (PIR) Fund is to provide cash
flow for special assessments and Municipal State Aid reimbursable construction projects. The
proposed transfer of $185,000 in 2018 will be assigned for the replacement of street light poles
in the Special Service Districts. A similar transfer was made in 2017 to accumulate the necessary
funds for this project.

Title: Accept donation from National Association of Government Web Professionals
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution approving acceptance of a monetary
donation from the National Association of Government Web Professionals in an amount not to
exceed $2,500 for all related expenses for Jason Huber, Information Technology Manager, to
attend the 2019 National Association of Government Web Professionals National Board Retreat
in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Policy consideration: Does the City Council wish to accept the gift with restrictions on its use?
Summary: State statute requires the City Council’s acceptance of donations. This requirement is
necessary in order to make sure the City Council has knowledge of any restrictions placed on
the use of each donation prior to it being expended.
The City of St. Louis Park’s Information Technology Manager, Jason Huber, represents the
National Association of Government Web Professionals (NAGW) as their Midwest Director.
As a result of Mr. Huber’s board member status, the National Association of Government Web
Professionals will compensate all related expenses to attend National Association of
Government Web Professionals Board Retreat, April 24-26, 2019, in Salt Lake City, Utah in an
amount not to exceed $2,500.
The City Attorney has reviewed this matter. His opinion is that state law permits the payment of
such expenses by this organization, regardless of whether the funds come from primary or
secondary sources. It is treated as a gift to the city and needs to be a resolution adopted by the
City Council determining that attendance at this event serves a public purpose and accepting
the gift. The resolution needs to be adopted before attendance at the conference.
Financial or budget considerations: This donation will be used toward the expenses incurred by
Jason Huber’s attendance to the National Association of Government Web Professionals

Title: Approve parking agreement with Sidal Crossroads Company, LLC for Louisiana Oaks Park
Recommended action: Motion to approve a parking agreement with Sidal Crossroads
Company, LLC (Louisiana Oaks Apartments) to lease 20 parking spaces to accommodate
overnight guests of Louisiana Oaks apartment complex provided a permit is displayed on the
vehicle.
Policy consideration: Is the city council comfortable with continuing this arrangement?
Summary: The city entered into a temporary agreement in 2004 with MSP Property
Management, who then owned the complex until 2015, to allow twenty (20) parking spaces in
the south row of the south lot of Louisiana Oaks Park for overnight guest parking of the
Louisiana Oaks apartment complex. Guests would display a permit in their vehicle indicating
they were from Louisiana Oaks apartment complex.
In 2015, Sidal Crossroads Company, LLC purchased the apartment complex from MSP Property
Management and assumed the agreement. Overnight guests of Louisiana Oaks apartment
complex will be allowed to park in the designated area of the south parking lot of Louisiana
Oaks Park provided they display a permit in their vehicle. Sidal Crossroads Company, LLC will
print and distribute the vehicle parking passes. Sidal Crossroads Company, LLC will pay the city
$150 per space per year for twenty (20) spaces. In addition, they will plow the parking spaces in
the winter and will reimburse the city for any damages to the parking lot resulting from its use
by Sidal Crossroads Company, LLC and its authorized users. The lease agreement will be
initiated for a two year term.
Staff is supportive of continuing this lease for two years. We have not had any issues or

either party, it can be terminated at the end of the upcoming two years.
Financial or budget considerations: Sidal Crossroads Company, LLC will pay the city $150 per
space per year to lease twenty (20) parking spaces. Staff has increased the amount for the
duration of this lease. The previous agreement was for $100 per space. This funding will go into
the Operations and Recreation park maintenance budget.

It was moved by Commissioner Griffin seconded by Commissioner Hagemann to approve
the minutes of January 16, 2019. The motion passed 6–0.
4. Business
a. Connect the Park update
Ben Manibog, Transportation Engineer, explained Connect the Park is a 10-year
initiative to get more bikeways and walkways throughout the city. Commissioners
viewed the Dakota Avenue/Edgewood Avenue corridor layout from Cedar Lake Road to
Lake Street. Four big components on the corridor were discussed: Cedar Lake Road to
BNSF, at BNSF and Dakota Park, at Peter Hobart Elementary School and on Dakota
Avenue. Commissioners viewed proposed alignment of the bridge at Dakota Park, along
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 4m) Page 2
Title: Parks & Recreation advisory commission meeting minutes March 20, 2019
with bump-ins at intersections to shorten the pedestrian crossings and address traffic
calming. On Dakota Avenue south of Minnetonka Boulevard there would be buffered
bike lanes. This would not require street widening and the only construction would be
bump-ins at intersections and parking restrictions.
The final open house was March 19, Mr. Manibog advised, with the public hearing
scheduled for April 15. On May 6, city council will recommend a specific design and staff
will move forward with final plans. Tree clearing would begin November, 2019 with
most of the work completed the summer of 2020. This coincides with the renovation to
be done at Peter Hobart in the summer of 2020.
Commissioner Hagemann inquired on the options for the trails at Dakota Park. Mr.
Manibog indicated the one viewed is recommended by staff but there are two other
alternatives shown on the city’s website. All three options will go before council.
Commissioners then viewed a map of the Louisiana Avenue 2020 bridge project located
by Methodist Hospital. Staff has applied for bridge funding which is why the project
moved from 2019 to 2020. The Louisiana Avenue bikeway will be on the bridge,
Minnehaha Creek trail will go under the bridge. Commissioner Hagemann advised there
will be a public art project committee for the project as the underside of the bridge will
have some art elements underside and possibly bollards on bridge to incorporate art.
Mr. Manibog advised Joe Shamla in Engineering is the staff person working on the
Louisiana Avenue bridge project.
Mr. Manibog advised Cedar Lake Road from Louisiana Avenue east to Quentin Avenue
will be constructed in 2019. During this big project, no through traffic will be allowed,
however local traffic is allowed; detours will be on Wayzata Boulevard. The project
includes replacement of a water main, a proposed round about, bikeways through the
corridor (combination of off street, cycle track and buffered bike lanes). Flashing
pedestrian beacons will be placed at Hampshire and Dakota Avenues along with
pedestrian refuges at Ridge Drive, Dakota Avenue and Edgewood Avenue. This project is
expected to take place for all of the 2019 construction season.
In the Minikahda Vista and Wolfe Park areas, Mr. Manibog advised, bikeways are being
proposed. Some areas will have expanded parking into the boulevard to account for the
addition of bikeways. Other areas will have road share bikeways. Staff will focus on
community outreach through the city’s website, social media, Park TV, etc. to teach how
to drive around the projects. The outreach will follow council approval.
Ms. Walsh asked members to connect with Mr. Manibog if they have ideas of groups
that would benefit from the information.
Commissioner Bluma inquired on parking restrictions. Mr. Manibog advised there’s
always concern with parking restrictions but staff is taking the areas into consideration.

Commissioners thanked Mr. Manibog.
b. Review 2019 Commission work plan and goals
Ms. Walsh advised goals will be on the agenda monthly.
i. Scholarship program
Ms. Shingles reviewed the current financial assistance program and form and
program that have not changed in a long time. Residents who live or work in St.
Louis Park are eligible.
Staff is reviewing the current program and the following items:
Amount of assistance: $160 per year per person and applicant pays 50% of the
activity. Unsure why $160 was the chosen amount.
Number of applications annually: 25-30 per year.
Number of approved applications annually: most applications are approved.
Where does the income/family size values come from: HUD.
What constitutes an extenuating circumstance? An example would be the
individual’s household income does not meet the requirements yet they recently
lost their job or were recently divorced.
How are wages verified: They are not currently verified.
Where does the funding come from? Donations, which are few.
Commissioner Foulkes feels most people that work in St. Louis Park do not
partake in St. Louis Park programs. Ms. Shingles advised the Aquatic Park,
Westwood Hills Nature Center and other programs not provided by their
community are attractions.
Commissioner Bushland inquired on the funding source to which Ms. Shingles
indicated there is a line item in the budget but no funding source. Ms. Bushland
inquired if there is a limit of funding to provide, which is an item to be discussed.
Commissioners reviewed the amount distributed and donations received
annually through 2018. Ms. Walsh suggested it would be beneficial to have an
amount budgeted. Commissioner Griffin hoped the city council would show
support by providing funding in the 2020 budget for assistance. Commissioner
Bushland advised the City of Edina has $10,000 budget through Edina’s
Community Foundation. The foundation, based on free or reduced school
lunches, approves applicants. Once approved, the applicant receives a “Connect
Card” which can be used for a variety of things in the City of Edina. Also, families
only need to apply once every two years for assistance. There is no additional
work for the city as the communication foundation does it all. Commissioner
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 4m) Page 4
Title: Parks & Recreation advisory commission meeting minutes March 20, 2019
Hagemann inquired if there is potential to receive grants from the St. Louis Park
Community Foundation. Ms. Walsh indicated if there was designated money, we
would apply for matching funds.
Ms. Shingles mentioned research was done on ways to accept donations or allow
businesses to sponsor the program. She researched other schools, community
education, etc. and found everyone has their own way of doing things. A
collaboration would be wonderful.
Another goal is to provide easier access to the program, advised Ms. Shingles.
The new name of the program will be “Access to Fun” and a new, easier to
understand, application was reviewed. Ms. Shingles suggested the need to meet
with different people in the community; to obtain more face to face contact with
people.
Ms. Shingles proposes applicants must live in, work a minimum of 20 hours per
week in or are students in St. Louis Park. During the research, a lot of variables
were found in how much assistance to provide and how individuals find out
about assistance. Staff proposes to let applicants know where the eligibility
guidelines originate (through HUD). STEP advised the program needs to be easier
for individuals to find. One option is to meet with STEP and have their social
workers aware of the financial assistance available to share with their clients.
STEP indicated 90% of income is for housing, leaving the remaining 10% for
groceries and necessities. Staff wants to think with a broad lens of what is
feasible and would be helpful to applicants. Commissioner Foulkes feels each
applicant would be different to which Ms. Shingles advised staff is leaning
toward determination be on a case by case basis.
Program eligibility were then reviewed by the Commission. Staff proposes to add
birthday party packages as an eligible item. Non-eligible items would include
adult athletic leagues, Westwood Hills Nature Center outreach programs using
raptors, facility rentals, daily aquatic park passes and daily skating/hockey
passes.
Commissioner Hagemann indicated Friends of the Arts has the Gift of Music
program which subsidizing instruments for participants. It would be great to
have one universal assistance program in the city with access to various
programs.
Ms. Walsh asked for feedback from the Commissioners on the proposals
discussed. Commissioner Foulkes inquired if seniors were eligible to which Ms.
Shingles advised all ages are and there are no age limits for applicants.
Commissioners recommended adding $15,000 to the budget. People are more
likely to use the assistance when they become aware of its existence.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 4m) Page 5
Title: Parks & Recreation advisory commission meeting minutes March 20, 2019
Commissioner Griffin commented it will be a time consuming process if
approved case by case. Ms. Shingles advised it currently resides with Caroline
Voss, Office Assistant, but will talk more about the process.
Commissioner Hagemann really likes the card idea to be available and utilized
through different organizations in St. Louis Park. Applicants can get assistance
cards through Friends of the Arts, STEP, the school district, the city, and
whomever else is included in the collaboration. Applicant review time would also
be divided between the organizations. Staff will explore this in the future.
Commissioners discussed how much the applicant should pay. Most members
feel applicants should pay something to show their investment in the program
they wish to enroll. Commissioner Bushland inquired what information the
applicant needs to show to qualify; Ms. Shingles indicated they are not required
to show anything. The City of Edina does not offer assistance to adults, only to
children, Commissioner Bushland stated. Commissioner Bushland also
mentioned applicants may be nervous about telling someone of their issues to
qualify for assistance. Some may not apply due to embarrassment.
Commissioner Griffin also mentioned that everyone has a great story and
recreation staff has a passion to include everyone. Employee(s) reviewing
applicants will need to make some challenging decisions. Commissioner Bluma
suggested having an optional verification system if staff suspects someone is
taking advantage of the system.
Commissioner Bushland inquired on the approval process. Ms. Shingles advised
staff will try to find a balance based on what other communities do. Children
that receive free or reduced lunches may automatically be eligible for assistance.
Staff is still researching a good option for adults.
Ms. Shingles added a visual update, updated the brochure, update internal
record keeping process with finance, amount of funding, verification process and
access to registration.
Commissioners thanks Ms. Shingles.
ii. Pickleball
Ms. Walsh introduced Laurie Hynes, Co-Vice President of the Southwest Metro
Pickleball Club. Ms. Hynes indicated she and her family have been involved in
numerous sports in St. Louis Park through the years including baseball, football,
softball, etc. Staff contacted Ms. Hynes for input to establish guidelines for
pickleball, advised Ms. Walsh.
City council meeting of May 6, 2019 (Item No. 4m) Page 6
Title: Parks & Recreation advisory commission meeting minutes March 20, 2019
Mr. Lombardi advised pickleball courts are being added to Wolfe Park this
summer, to be open this fall. The courts will be available during the week and
reserved on weekends for lessons, events or various tournaments. Weekday
evenings could include lessons or leagues (adult and/or youth).
Ms. Hynes explained they have times open and other times available for
reservations in Eden Prairie. Offering open times is important for users. They
also offer lessons and clinics, which fill up quickly. Ms. Hynes feels there is a
great interest in pickleball and know a lot of volunteers that would be interested
in coaching in St. Louis Park.
Staff previously applied for and received a grant for pickleball equipment. Ms.
Hynes mentioned the potential to apply for another grant due to the new courts
being built at Wolfe Park. Mr. Lombardi mentioned could move the equipment
from the Middle School to the courts at Wolfe Park.
Ms. Hynes feels individuals that know how to play the game want to play in the
morning so lessons may be better in the afternoon or evenings. The current fee
is $20 per hour for any court rental in St. Louis Park. The current fee will be
increased in the next year. There is a reduced price for weekend tournaments.
Ms. Hynes indicated club members pay $4 and can play for four hours. Ms.
Walsh explained Mr. Lombardi will ensure the courts are not over reserved and
keep times for open play.
Bass Lake courts are busy, advised Mr. Lombardi, Aquila Park courts are used for
tennis all summer, the Middle School courts are heavily used for tennis and
pickleball, and Carpenter Park courts are busy (which are currently being renovated).
Commissioner Bushland confirmed morning hours would be open time to which
Mr. Lombardi indicated is correct. Ms. Hynes explained if a person wants to join
in open play, they put a paddle up indicating they want to rotate in. Ms. Hynes
explained a lot of people show up individually. The next four people that have
paddles in the slots rotate in for the next play. The beauty of the game is you do
not need a foursome to play. Pickleball is also a social activity as people want to
get out and play with whomever. Commissioner Griffin feel pickleball players are
less intense, a more relaxed culture.
Ms. Walsh inquired how levels are established. Ms. Hynes advised most players
figure it out. Everyone has been at the beginner stage so are generally fine
playing with anyone, regardless of level. Pickleball is super social, an easy game
to learn and good exercise. It is one of the best sports for older individuals. A lot
of courts have been built or are being built recently in the surrounding cities as it
is a growing sport. The Club will change their name to Minnesota Pickleball soon
as the sport is expanding through the metro area.

Title: Parks & Recreation advisory commission meeting minutes March 20, 2019
Mr. Lombardi inquired if mixed gender groups are accepted to which Ms. Hynes
indicated most are mixed. Tournaments generally offer women’s, men’s and
mixed groups by age then by skill level.
Ms. Walsh advised we will be cautious not to have too many rentals. Staff is
considering adding temporary courts to the ROC, with Minnesota Pickleball’s
assistance, and host a large tournament in the ROC and Wolfe Park courts.
Ms. Hynes mentioned offering a ladder league where you keep track of points
and move around according to the points. It equalizes play and is lots of fun. It is
a little more competitive but loosely done. The league is fun to incorporate into
afternoon or evening play.
Commissioners thanked Ms. Hynes and Mr. Lombardi.
5. Staff communication
Mr. Lombardi advised of Jobs in the Park program and explained it’s a way for staff to connect
with high school students (in partnership with the Police Department) and for them to find jobs
with the city. Ms. Shingles mentioned there were two different groups – one group visited The
Rec Center while the other remained at the High School. The groups then switched locations.
Staff was in the high school computer lab advising students how to apply for a job, assisted in
completing job applications and provided mock interviews. Ms. Shingles commended
Commissioner Salzer on a great job sharing her experience with park and rec. Commissioner
Salzer indicated Jobs in the Park was advertised through the Career and Counseling division at
school. The school offers business internship credit for working with the city. Commissioner
Salzer indicated she spoke at the program last year and this year. This year there was double
the kids from last year! It’s a great program! Commissioner Griffin commended the city for the
program.
Mr. Lombardi advised adult basketball leagues are coming to a close and summer softball
registrations are being accepted. Bags and wiffleball leagues will be offered this summer for
adults. Wiffleball leagues are being played in neighboring communities.
Mr. Lombardi and Ms. Shingles explained how the turf was set up on the ROC after the ice was
removed. The first event, group rented for cricket, is scheduled on the turf Sunday. Between
school usage and general practice, the prime times have been reserved, Ms. Shingles indicated.
The ROC has received great usage. People can play in the ROC when not rented. Ms. Walsh will
bring a revenue / expenditure breakdown of the ROC at the April meeting.
6. Member communication

clerk’s office. The required notice of the public hearing was published on April 25, 2019. If the
license is approved, nothing will be issued until all requirements have been met with the city
inspections department, Hennepin County, and the State Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement
Division.
Financial or budget considerations: Fees include $500 for the background investigation and
$8,950 for an on-sale intoxicating and on-sale Sunday liquor license. Pursuant to city code
provisions, the license fee will be pro-rated for the remainder of the license term.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build
social capital through community engagement.

Executive summary
Title: Dakota bikeway and bridge project No. 4019-2000
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution accepting the project report, establishing
Improvement Project No. 4019-2000, approving the staff recommended layout for the
Dakota/Edgewood corridor from Cedar Lake Road to Minnetonka Boulevard.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish staff to continue to pursue the installation of
the bikeway, bridge, and trail segments identified for the Dakota Avenue corridor?
Summary: Connect the Park is the city's 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to add
additional bikeways, sidewalks, and trails throughout the community. The primary goal of
Connect the Park is to develop a comprehensive, city-wide network of bikeways, sidewalks, and
trails that provides local and regional connectivity, improves safety and accessibility, and
enhances overall community livability. This is achieved by creating a system that provides
sidewalks approximately every 1/4 -mile and bikeways every 1/2 -mile in order to improve
pedestrian and bicycle connectivity throughout the community. This project is included in the
Connect the Park plan.
The engineering department has been working on the preliminary design and the associated
public process. The segments included in the 2019 project are:
•Dakota Avenue bikeway between Dakota Park and Lake Street.
•Edgewood Avenue multi-use trail between BNSF railroad right of way and Cedar Lake
Road.
•Pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the BNSF Railroad connecting Edgewood Avenue and
Dakota Park.
Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s capital improvement
plan (CIP) for 2019. The project will be paid for using general obligation bonds and $2,918,400
in federal funds. The total cost estimate for the project is $8,230,000. Additional information
on project cost and funding can be found in the attached reports.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for
people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

Title: Dakota bikeway and bridge project No. 4019-2000
Discussion
Background: The Dakota Avenue bikeway and bridge corridor was first identified as a part of
the Active Living: Sidewalks and Trail Plan in 2007 and was then integrated into the Connect the
Park capital improvement plan (CIP) in 2012. The Dakota Avenue corridor runs through the
center of the city and is a key connection which will enhance walking and biking in the city by
connecting destinations such as parks, schools, businesses, regional trails, and SWLRT.
Information regarding this project was shared with council at the April 8 study session. The
study session report, which includes recommendations for the elements to include in this
project, is attached. A summary of the information in that study session report is as follows:
•Design of the Edgewood Avenue multiuse trail between Cedar Lake Road and the BNSF
railroad.
•Design of the bicycle and pedestrian bridge over BNSF railroad.
•Design of the Dakota Avenue bikeway from 26th Street to Lake Street.
An overview of the recommended design for this project was presented at the April 15, 2019
city council meeting. The mayor opened the public hearing inviting members of the public to
speak regarding the recommended design. Testimony was received from 20 residents. In
addition, a petition signed by 76 people representing 57 properties was presented to the
council. The petitioners stated they were “…not in support of the City of St. Louis Park’s plan…”
and “…are requesting alternative options that maintain our current street parking, re-stripe for
a bike lane(s) and add larger corner boulevard’s [sic]…”. The main focus of the concern is the
segment of Dakota Avenue between Minnetonka Boulevard and Lake Street.
The public hearing report is attached. A summary of the information in that public hearing
report is as follows:
•Study session discussion topics
•Estimated construction costs
•Updated project schedule
Present considerations: In the lead-up to, and during, the public hearing, staff received many
comments regarding the project. The vast majority of the comments revolved around the
portion of the Dakota Avenue between Minnetonka Boulevard to Lake Street. The subject
matter of the comments can be summarized as the following main concerns:
•Loss of parking adjacent to properties in the corridor
•High vehicle speeds in the corridor
•Pedestrian crossing and safety
There was not enough time between meetings to review and respond to all the questions that
were brought before the council as a part of the public hearing. As was discussed at the April
15 meeting, in the interest of working through the concerns brought up by residents, staff
recommends that action on the segment between Minnetonka Boulevard and Lake Street be
put on hold and brought back later this year for council consideration.
This segment of the project (Dakota Avenue between Minnetonka Boulevard and Lake Street) is
not a part of the federal grant approval, so this would not jeopardize the funding. This time will

be used for additional community engagement allowing staff to work through questions and
concerns.
Staff recommendation
Staff recommends that council approve the following segments of this project:
Edgewood Avenue multi-use trail
The project includes the construction of an off street multi-use trail along the east side of
Edgewood Avenue from Cedar Lake Road to BNSF rail road right of way. This new trail will tie in
to the enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities being constructed on Cedar Lake Road in 2019.
The east curb line would be narrowed to allow a 10 foot wide multi-use trail to be built in the
right of way. Currently the east side of the road is signed “no parking”. The proposed
narrowed roadway will not allow parking on the east side. The recommended design width of
the street will still allow efficient travel by trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles. The
addition of a cul-de-sac at the south end of Edgewood Drive is proposed to allow for vehicles to
turn around and to provide a better transition from the trail to the bridge.
Bicycle and pedestrian bridge over BNSF
A key component to this project is the bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the BNSF railroad
right of way. This bridge connects the Edgewood Avenue trail to Dakota Park and Peter Hobart
Elementary School. The bridge needs to get up and over the BNSF railroad by providing 23.5
feet of clearance between the rail line and the bottom of the bridge. The bridge approaches
need a lot of space to match-in to existing grade.
Staff started by providing multiple options for the best alignment for the bridge. Generally
speaking there were early concepts that had a westerly alignment that headed toward Nelson
Park, a central alignment that went between Peter Hobart Elementary and Dakota Park and an
easterly alignment that went between the baseball fields and the CP Railroad right of way.
After considerable public feedback and design review, the central alignment between Peter
Hobart Elementary and Dakota Park was chosen as the recommended alignment. The bridge
has been positioned to minimize the disturbance to open space in Dakota Park near Peter
Hobart Elementary. In addition, the alignment of the bridge allows the ramps to be centrally
located for all users, whether accessing the park, regional trail, or school.
In order for the bridge and elevated structure to be constructed as proposed there is
permanent right of way acquisition needed at the very south end of Edgewood Avenue on both
the west and east side of the road. The concept alignment for the federal application did not
anticipate the need for right of way acquisition, so this was not included in the capital
improvement plan. However, after additional engineering and public feedback, the
recommended design will require right of way to be purchased.
The current design concept includes stairs on the south side of the bridge, adjacent to the
regional trail. Feedback from the community requested stairs to be explored on the north side
of the bridge. Stairs are more difficult to install on the north side but will be explored in the
final design.

Dakota Avenue bikeway between 26th Street and Minnetonka Boulevard
The proposed bikeway design includes:
• 26th Street to Minnetonka Boulevard- on street “share the road”. This design has
minimal impact to on street parking. The intersections at 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th
Streets are narrowed to shorten pedestrian crossing distances.
• The installation of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) crossing Dakota Avenue at
Peter Hobart Elementary and removal of the stop sign near this location.
Staff recommends that a decision for the following segment of the project be delayed until later
this summer.
Dakota Avenue bikeway between Minnetonka Boulevard and Lake Street
This section will be temporarily set aside for further discussion with the intention of bringing it
back to the council later this year.
Next steps: As a part of the staff recommendation, more discussion will be had concerning the
section of the corridor from Minnetonka Boulevard to Lake Street. This will include public
meetings. The first will be a listening session in late May. More information will be given to
council and the community as it becomes available.
