Mr. Hunt presented the staff report.
Commissioner Rog asked what the specific anticipated shortfalls might be. Mr. Hunt
stated staff will not know until the project has been through the public financing
process.
Commissioner Brausen asked if the ultimate amount of TIF the city grants will be
calibrated to allow for development to further goals of the project. Mr. Hunt confirmed
this is correct adding that Ehlers concluded this project will need $370,000 to be
feasible, but the TIF will allow for more funds in case they are needed.
Commissioner Brausen also asked even if the city awarded TIF of $600,000 would that
be excessive under city guidelines for a project of this size. Mr. Hunt stated this would
not be a significant amount of TIF when looking at what the EDA has financed in
previous years, adding it fits within parameters of what the EDA has supplied to projects
in the past.

Title:
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Mohamed, to adopt

Resolution No. 20-21
Ms. Grove presented the report.
Commissioner Brausen asked which ward the project is in. Ms. Grove stated Ward 2.
Commissioner Harris asked about timing of this action when the project has not been
approved yet. Ms. Grove stated the timing is such because the Metropolitan Council
only offers these grants 1 time per year, and the applications are due in July, with
approvals happening by end of the year. In order to fit the timeline and not push the
project back, this is being brought before the EDA now.
Commissioner Brausen noted that Commissioner Mavity will recuse herself on this
project. He added he supports these grants, adding that each project asking for
assistance is an item the council cares about and supports with its policies. He stated
these projects meet the council’s environmental sustainability, racial equity and
transportation goals, and it is in the city’s best interest to ask the Metropolitan Council
to support this. He stated he will support this project and is happy to do so.
It was moved by Brausen, seconded by Rog, to adopt EDA Resolution 20-20 authorizing
the submission of a Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant

2. Presentations
2a. Comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2019
Mr. Mol presented the 2019 audit report. He noted 4 areas of review including: financial
statements, internal controls, legal compliance and governance. Mr. Mol stated a clean
opinion was found for the city’s 2019 financial statements, while the city received the
award of excellence for the 36th year in a row. Mr. Mol stated there was one item of
financial adjustment related to the valuation of a property at Highway 7, near the
SWLRT. This item was finalized at the end of the 2019, and resolved before the audit,
but needed to be recorded as income in 2019 and was not. An adjustment was made
and there are no longer any issues associated with this.
Mr. Mol stated no items of non-compliance were noted, nor were there any issues with
financial statements. He added there were no difficulties conducting the audit, even
during the pandemic, and no disagreements with management.
Mayor Spano asked if there have been changes in the way leases are reported. Mr. Mol
responded there are leases on both sides of the transaction and this new standard
shows financing the acquisition of equipment, which must now be reported as an asset.

3b. City council meeting minutes of May 18, 2020
Councilmember Kraft noted on the bottom of page 14 it should read…“he is focusing on
just the key pieces and noted he is not taking any position whatsoever on the
development itself. He stated that the essence of the complaint is that there was a
conflict of interest and a violation of 2.09. He added the charter is clear on what must
be done, if there is a conflict of interest it must be disclosed before an action is taken
and that has happened with the recusal of Councilmember Mavity. He further added the
second piece is about a violation of 2.09. He stated he is satisfied with the staff’s
statements and the investigations made to date, including his own review of every email
involved and that saw nothing abnormal and a violation of 2.09 did not happen.”

8a. Union Park Flats redevelopment Resolution No. 20-095, Resolution No. 20-096,
and Resolution No. 20-097
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report.
Councilmember Harris stated there have been 4 different designs of this development
with various iterations, noting the last time she studied the project was when the 3rd
design was proposed. She asked if the building height eliminated the sloped roof design.
Ms. Kramer stated at that point, the development was a 68-unit proposal and was 4
stories. She stated based on neighborhood and staff feedback, the 4th story was
removed and the height brought down to 35 feet, which is now the current design and
the maximum height allowed by the existing zoning district.
Councilmember Harris stated the land price is a factor in the number of units the
developer can build. She asked what the variables are. Ms. Kramer stated staff was not
involved in negotiations on buying or selling land or financial requirements and noted
Mr. Wilson from PPL could discuss this.
Mr. Wilson stated PPL is paying the appraised value for the site. He added when they
negotiated with the church, a 3rd party appraiser opinion was retained. He added it is
true if more units were built on the site, the per unit cost does go down, but added that
has not been a significant driver and the cost of the land was determined by the 3rd
party appraiser.
Councilmember Rog asked for clarification on PPL vs. an affiliate of PPL noted in the
staff report. Mr. Wilson stated the affiliate notation is done as a legal formality, an LLC,
which protects the larger entity. It’s a standard way of approaching real estate. He
stated the LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of PPL.
Public Comments
John Basill, 6208 Oxford St., stated there are folks that want this site to be left a parking
lot and those that want it 12 stories. The majority favor whatever is best for everyone,
and that is a good thing. He stated these people are hard-working residents that voted
for the council. They rent, lease and have a mortgage, they volunteer extensively at
Meadowbrook, Perspectives, PPL and the school district. They are folks supporting more
affordable housing.
Mr. Basill continued, noting that for affordable housing, Elmwood has been the leader
and done more for affordable housing than the rest of the community combined. Nearly
50% of the housing units are affordable and no neighborhood has done more than
Elmwood. He stated they are willing to accept the right development and the right size,
and their willingness for change should not be taken advantage of. Many should ask not
what more Elmwood can do, but what their neighborhoods can do.
Mr. Basill stated there has been no compromise from 80-60 units, adding the $2 million
the church is being paid is a half million dollars too much. He stated the sale is inflated.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
He thought that for the first totally affordable housing project in St. Louis Park,
approving this would be a mistake. He stated tonight – approve it – but with the
condition the applicant goes back and brings a project on July 6 that genuinely complies
with the comp plan approved by the council 9 months ago. He stated the council is in a
position of power to make this a good project for all, and that is real equity.
Jason Ranrude, 5628 W 39th St., stated he is in opposition to the project as presented.
He added the Elmwood neighborhood is not being listened to and 3 stories is too high.
He would like to comprise with 2 stories. The 60 units, density, and traffic are too much
on this neighborhood, and he is concerned about the young children and those who
drive through the neighborhood at high speeds. He added the 100% affordable housing
is not fair and should include other incomes also, and there is need for more
compromise. He stated during COVID it is difficult to get everyone’s voice. He stated
residents of Elmwood spend a lot of money on their homes to remodel and stay in St.
Louis Park, adding this project is not good long-term, and he hopes the council will listen
to their voices.
Joan Litke, 6025 Goodrich Ave., stated she lives 2 blocks from the development in a
home built in 1902. She stated they have put their blood, sweat and tears into this
home and council needs to approve a better project. She stated the developer needs to
come back with a different proposal, with underground parking, and make it less dense
to fit the size and scope of the neighborhood. She stated the project is ugly, looks
visually isolating and is closed off. She added there will be no way for neighbors to
engage the folks living there, they will be jam-packed into an ugly building, and it does
not seem fair to the folks living there. She stated the project seems to be rushed and it
needs to be scaled down.
JW Starret, 5825 Goodrich Ave., stated he appreciates the council and staff time and PPL
engagement with the neighborhood. He stated all have heard the concerns of the
neighbors, but he wished there was more time to work on this. He stated the church has
not budged an inch and not worked on the process, adding it would be helpful if they
would. He stated he wants to make sure this fits the neighborhood. He added Elmwood
is a diverse area and will see over 2,000 new apartments, and people want to build the
best project so it’s equitable for all and fits into the neighborhood. He stated they need
to solve the density issues and if PPL goes back and revises the plan, they will have lots
of support from Elmwood.
John Gleason, 5801 Goodrich Ave., stated he supports diversity and equity along with
affordable housing and has volunteered at PPL for years. He stated he voted for
Councilmembers Mavity and Kraft and Mohamed and is happy with his votes. He stated
the council is not being asked to vote against affordable housing, they are just being
asked to modify the project to create more equitable housing. He stated racial
covenants dominated Minnekada Vista, and Meadowbrook Manor was segregated with
substandard housing. He added St. Louis Park has white neighborhoods and
neighborhoods of color, and he thinks it is still segregated in St. Louis Park. He added
there are 11 neighborhoods in St. Louis Park and only one other than Elmwood has
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
affordable housing in it. He asked the council to make changes and approve a better
project for Elmwood.
Barb Patterson, 4326 Wooddale Ave., stated she is advocating for the PPL project, and is
glad the city is partnering with them. She approves of the green construction and added
PPL has been responsive and revised the plan 3 times. She stated there is a desperate
need for affordable housing and this provides for that, adding it will be close to grocery,
parks and in a walkable area. She is proud the city works for affordable housing and
urged the council to approve the project.
Jonna Kosalko, 3770 Colorado Ave. S., thanked the council for taking comment. She
stated she works in housing and knows affordability is critical to the city and this area,
and crucial for this side of town, which is close to transit. However, she is concerned
about the side facing Brunswick Avenue and hoped they would create a townhome style
here which would be helpful to existing neighbors and create a friendlier feel. She
supports the density, but wishes it was less dense. She asked that additional discussion
and consideration be made for the streetscape, density and parking and that it creates a
harmonious plan with the rest of the neighborhood.
Christel Chong, Oxford Street, pointed out concerns related to the 2040 comp plan
which has already set goals and priorities, land goals for residential areas, and a buffer
between different users. She has concerns there is no buffer between single-family
homes and the project and stated there is a need for something that fits better within
the neighborhood.
Dale Tatarek, 5826 Cambridge St., stated he’s lived 28 years in Elmwood, and is active in
the neighborhood. He stated his main concern is around size and scope. He stated he
sees this project in a commercial area with 50 units and thinks PPL should downsize the
plans. He stated Elmwood is a historic area and the plans need to fit into the
neighborhood and preserve that history.
Alex Fracassi, 6220 Oxford St., stated the height and elevation of the project and plans
were not documented accurately. He stated the hill is not documented in the plans and
therefore the building will be higher than stated at 45 feet. He added there should also
be consideration for the shadow study. He stated he supports the project but has
concerns about the height.
Tom Larson, 3751 Brunswick Ave., stated this development disrespects the city’s land
use plan, adding this should be a medium-density project, and should include
underground parking with appropriate materials. He asked that the developer come
back with a new proposal.
Ken Isham-Schopf, 9416 Frederick Ave., stated he and his wife are supportive of
affordable housing at this location, adding he knows neighborhoods are under various
threats and everyone is facing changes, but housing is a basic need that must be offered
to all.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
Mitchell Aldrich, 6016 Oxford St., stated he is concerned about height and the project is
too massive to be next to our homes. He stated Brunswick and 37th Avenue should be
used as a point of reference, the height to the peak of the roof at the corner house, and
in flat peak roofs. He discussed the traffic analysis, details of the proposed change for
the alleyway, including changes to traffic patterns and flow. He added an additional
comment period should be given to Elmwood residents along with a question and
answer.
Douglas Kotowski, 3921 Yosemite Ave. S., stated he is in opposition to the project and
has concerns about the impacts of traffic in his neighborhood. He stated it is an unsafe
situation now with traffic, density and population, and he is not excited about investing
in this for the future. He added he is a proponent of affordable housing, and with a few
changes, this would be a more acceptable project, would reduce traffic flow and
density, and maintain the architecture of the neighborhood. He added he hopes the
council makes the right decision.
Shannon Sackrison, 6215 Oxford St., echoed what has been said, adding this should be
two stories only and conserve the historic integrity of the area. She added the size needs
to be reduced to 40-50 units, and the 3rd design plan was much better. She supports the
project, but not the design where it is right now.
Sue Budd, 3204 Hillsboro, stated she supports the plan, adding she works with Isaiah in
St. Louis Park which focuses on racial equity. She stated they are proud of their city,
which has been a leader in equity, community policing, and diversity, adding it is
wonderful to lead in these areas. She wants to see the project move ahead, especially
with SWLRT. She noted there are some areas for concern, but to delay this further does
not display much integrity in the process. She hopes it moves forward and thanked the
council for their work.
Heather Simonette, 6232 Oxford St., stated there has not been a 100% affordable
project in St. Louis Park for over 30 years, adding it is not equitable for residents.
She stated people living in affordable housing deserve the same housing as those in
homes, noting the project should not overpower the neighborhood. She stated the
design is appropriate.
Mike Ritter, 6319 Oxford St., asked the council to please slow down and work with the
community to build a better project. He asked why they are ignoring the comp plan and
land use studies and added they are not helping affordable housing; they are just
meeting a quota. He stated they are treating people like numbers and not folks with
needs, and it feels like the city is subsidizing a church and paying for their renovations.
Eric Halverson, 5819 Goodrich Ave., stated he lives two blocks from the site and is not in
favor of the size of the building. He stated it should be brought down to 2 stories and 40
units with parking underground. He added Elmwood is a leader in diversity within all of
St. Louis Park and thanked the council for their leadership.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 8
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
Carol Cacka, 6220 Oxford St., asked for a balance on the project and to direct PPL to
bring back a new proposal.
Denise Eng, 3850 Alabama, expressed her unqualified support for the project. She called
for the neighbors to be empathetic, stating many folks need help and a foothold. She
stated she has lived in the area for 32 years, many things have changed, but everyone
survived and a good neighborhood has been created. She has talked with neighbors,
most are neutral or supportive, but are not vocal about it. She added the church has
concerns about its own survival adding this was the first church in St. Louis Park, and it
has provided much to the community, to the arts, and other areas and it is well within
its rights to worry about its own survival, especially as it contributes to the community,
and makes the area a more welcoming place. She added the project can be done in
Elmwood and it will not have a hugely significant impact. She stated the neighborhood
can be welcoming and open to people.
Carrie Gleason, 5801 Goodrich Ave., stated Elmwood already has over 400 units of AMI,
over half of which are affordable, and the city council red lined this area. She stated the
council would not do that in Minnekahda Vista or Lake Forest. She stated the council
protects the white affluent areas, adding this development is the lowest quality in the
last 20 years. She stated the council needs to stop the systematic segregation in the city,
adding they are not paying attention to the data. She stated they are not asking council
to kill the project, but rather to ask the developer to take neighborhood
recommendations and make equitable projects in all areas of the city.
Kirsten Brekke Albright, 8607 Westmoreland Ln., stated she is a member of the St. Louis
Park housing team and is concerned about housing issues here, and the lack of
affordable options in St. Louis Park to address this crisis does not reflect the city’s vision
of inclusion. She stated PPL has tried by redesigning the project, they have a
commitment to the community, and she encouraged the council to approve the project.
David Johnston, 3204 Hillsboro Ave. S., stated he supports the project, adding PPL has a
proven track record and are industry experts.
Councilmember Mohamed asked staff about the claims of affordable housing in
Elmwood as it stands right now, and what that looks like. Ms. Barton stated she will get
the specific data for the council for Elmwood but noted that housing overall in the city is
about 50% rental, at 60% AMI.
Mr. Walther indicated he had no data to add; however, the city’s inclusionary housing
policy requires new development to include units at affordable levels, so areas that have
had more new development since the policy was adopted will naturally have more new
affordable units.
Councilmember Kraft asked if the hill on the property is accurately represented on the
height and shadow studies. Ms. Kramer stated the hill is considered for both.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 9
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
Councilmember Kraft asked PPL about 100% affordable housing developments and
stated he is concerned they do not work. Mr. Wilson stated the project is a mixed
project, with an affordability range of 30% to 80% AMI. He stated the average income in
St. Louis Park is $71,000. In terms of household income, it is incorrect to characterize
this project at only the lower end of the scale.
Councilmember Kraft asked PPL if they looked at a design that was 2 stories on
Brunswick and 4 stories on the other side and questioned why that would not work. Mr.
Wilson said it averaged out, but there was opposition for having 4 stories, so they went
down to 3 stories and lost the pitched roof, because it was clear there was no support
for a transitional type building.
Councilmember Kraft stated he read all the comments from the neighborhood and took
time to visit the area. He thanked staff and the planning commission for information
provided and all comments from the residents. He stated there were 6 key concerns:
density, height, parking, traffic, aesthetics, and concerns about affordable housing. He
addressed each item below:
o On density with 50 units per acre, he sees 3 issues: inconsistency with the comp
plan, inconsistency with prior land use guidance and this is the last development
parcel on Elmwood that abuts single-family housing land.
o He stated this being the last parcel is not an issue, but that it abuts single-family
housing is important to consider especially in project design – and he wants to
see that considered. He added on prior land use guidance for Elmwood, it makes
sense to look at this, but it’s from 2003 and has diminishing influence. The parcel
of land is just outside the area of study and it talks about transit-oriented
development; however, much has changed here in the past 17 years. As it
relates to inconsistency with the 2040 comp plan, this is the most relevant as it
was just adopted last year. In the plan, this parcel was adopted as civic use, not
as medium or high-density and is on the boundary of a medium and high-density
residential area. Though you can infer this, there is no commitment to this in the
plan. So medium density caps it at 30 units per acre. He noted within the same
chapter of the comp plan is a discussion showing this parcel is on the edge of the
priority redevelopment area Wooddale LRT stop, making this applicable. From
page 527 of the comp plan, he noted the guidelines for transit-oriented show
this parcel on the edge and being at the lower end of the guidelines seems it’s
more appropriate. He stated the net on the density is there and should be a
compelling reason for anything over 30 units approved, but what is proposed is
what is reasonably accepted within the comp plan.
o He noted on height as proposed, it meets the requirements of the zoning district.
It is not higher than the church and is compatible with buildings and homes in
the area. However, he still appreciates the comments from those living in
Elmwood in homes immediately adjacent to the project. It’s a significant change,
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 10
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
but it seems the developer has made accommodations by reducing to 3 stories
and creating a setback from Brunswick.
o He stated on parking, 90 spaces yield 1-1.5 spaces per unit which is below code,
but appropriate for transit-oriented development. He stated parking is expensive
and takes away from other uses. He also noted an amendment to the code on
parking in this area will be reviewed soon.
o On traffic, he appreciated concerns, but stated the analysis of an additional 43
trips per day would likely be even less with the 60 units, so he does not find this
to be an issue.
o On aesthetics, he stated he trusts staff’s analysis that the building materials fit
well into the neighborhood. He stated the proposed use seems more
appropriate than the existing parking lot on site today.
o On concentration of affordable housing, he stated this is a mixed-use
development project and averages in the 50-60% range. Also, on the comment
about Elmwood having a more affordable housing concentration than elsewhere
in the city and 50% of city’s rentals are affordable, he does not see an overly
large concentration of affordable housing in Elmwood. He stated other parts in
the city might need to do better.
o On crime, he stated the data does not support the concern, the perception or
fear might be there, but there is no data to support it.
o He asked if there is there a compelling reason for density at 30 units per acre and
he stated yes, there is, adding that PPL did a good job of explaining them.
o He stated one of the things that brought him and his wife to St. Louis Park is the
strength of diversity and that was key to his campaign platform. He added this is
diversity of race and income level and one way to get that is to have diversity of
housing alternatives.
o He stated there is a huge need for affordable housing and within St. Louis Park,
429 units by 2030 is the goal, but there is a long way to go still.
o He stated he was happy to see the green building code and focus on solar and
added he would like to know if the developer does not get the grant on this,
because he would like to see solar on it.
o He stated in this moment we are in a deep examination, arising from the murder
of George Floyd, and the attention it has placed on the systemic racism and
inequality within our society. The worst inequality is with issue of affordable
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 11
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
housing and other than health and family - it doesn’t get any worse than not
having a place to live and afford.
o He quoted an email he received, “we are in the midst of a pandemic where black
people make up 14% nationally but are experiencing one-third of the deaths
from coronavirus. Hispanics and the indigenous communities are also bearing
the worst of unemployment and death in the current crisis. Lack of safe and
affordable housing is becoming a statistic of marginalized communities and the
affordable housing needs of these communities deserve to be a priority.”
o He stated there are concerns and oppositions from the community from people
he knows and respects. He thinks the concerns which he has heard, have been
accommodated as well as they can be by PPL and in the end, it seems like a
reasonable compromise and he plans to support it.
Councilmember Harris stated the Elmwood neighborhood had some perceptions their
input did not matter. She stated going forward, we need to be conscious of
neighborhood engagement and not speak to anything as definitive until we engage
folks. She noted the project design facing Brunswick needs to reflect a transition zone.
She added she was fond of the April design which had the gradation of height and got
taller towards the multifamily housing. She encouraged the softer transition toward
Brunswick and direct access to the outside also. She noted a need to find balance, and
stated the city needs affordable, generational housing for people in all stages of life, and
to make housing accessible for various levels of income. She stated she would like to see
edits to the façade, increased access to the outside, and additional features like
townhomes on the Brunswick side of the project, adding she will approve it.
Ms. Kramer noted the ground floor units on Brunswick are all walk-outs which have
patios.
Councilmember Harris stated parking in winter snow in Minnesota can be an issue. She
asked if there could be negotiation with the church for off-street parking when there is
3 inches or more of snow on the street. Ms. Wilson stated while there is no formal
agreement with the church, this idea about shared parking has been discussed.
Councilmember Brausen thanked all the residents for their input. He stated while it is
hard to balance both sides on this, and while there has been much change in Elmwood
recently, he doesn’t view this as bad change at all. He stated once trees grow larger that
will help, noting often this is in the eye of the beholder. He added the council is in the
business of looking to the future, and this will provide living spaces to 60 families. He
stated housing is a basic human right, and we must do better to create more affordable
housing in our city. The owner of the property, the church, is looking for affordable
housing here, and the owners do have rights as to what they want on their property. He
stated he will support this.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 12
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
Councilmember Mohamed thanked staff and PPL and all those who worked on this
project and the residents for their input as well. She stated she walked around the area,
noting it was great to see the neighborhood, and added segregation of St. Louis Park is
an issue and she agrees with not putting all affordable housing in one neighborhood.
She added we do want more mixture of income in St. Louis Park but there is also a
concern about home ownership. She stated it is not rental or affordable home
ownership, it is an “and” thing, and even as she sits here as a council member, she
cannot afford to buy a home in St. Louis Park and can’t even afford to rent in some
areas of the city. She stated when we push for home ownership that is a focus on
people of color building their wealth.
Councilmember Mohamed added about aesthetics, and not fitting with the
neighborhood character, considering everything going on with racial inequities
currently, she asked everyone to be very cognizant of this. She stated this is a Minnesota
nice way to say we don’t want certain people here; we are leaving out people of color
here. This is 100% affordable housing, and this has not been available in St. Louis Park
for the last 30 years. She stated when looking at aesthetics, we need to look deeper, to
see who we are leaving out and not speak for all persons of color. She stated when she
is looking for a house, she is not looking for aesthetics, she is looking to put a roof over
her family, stating this is her main concern. She stated aesthetics is a luxury item, and
quality of life is different than aesthetics. She stated she is disappointed some
affordable housing was lost, but as this moves forward, it will set a precedent. She
stated she is in full agreement of the proposal.
Councilmember Rog added she supports this project. She noted the recent experience
with the residents related to the Wooddale bike path project and that residents were
opposed and then when an alternative plan was created, residents returned to wanting
the original plan. She stated Elmwood folks preferred the April 24th design, and maybe
that is worth exploring.
Councilmember Rog noted she also heard some things tonight that concerned her. She
heard that people threaten to move from Elmwood, she heard the church is greedy, she
heard about pockets of poverty, and heard support for affordable housing “but, but,
but…” She encouraged people to reflect themselves, and how the city got to what it is
with such a lack of affordable housing. She added there is a desperate need for folks to
have a roof over their heads. She noted with parking, she is in support of reducing this,
adding that car-sharing should be looked at for those who don’t own a car.
Mayor Spano stated he heard many comments from folks about parking, number of
units, building height, and the 2040 comp plan. He stated this project does align with
the comp plan and several goals were identified in the project including, multi-modal,
safety, scale, walkable streets, proximity to LRT, density, buffer between higher density
and existing family homes, transition, housing goals, family units, minimized
displacement, and no threat to NOAH around the project. He added it provides
affordable housing for various income levels, green features, preserves existing assets to
the community with the church in one of the oldest historical neighborhoods in St. Louis
Park.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 13
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
Mayor Spano stated he will support this project and agrees with Councilmember Kraft’s
comments. He stated he has concerns about the traffic and would like a deeper analysis
of this and development around the light rail station. He added the density has moved
down with PPL’s latest design, and he understands this is not where some want the
project to be, but he appreciates the efforts of PPL. He stated the parking will be
underground and the affordability has multiple layers and will be for caregivers,
teachers, social workers, and they all deserve good quality housing as well.
Mayor Spano added for many in Elmwood who feel unfairly treated, this is a growing
city and that will not stop and will only accelerate. He stated this is a better project with
engagement, but change is always hard. He acknowledged the project is not perfect,
that change is hard, and not everyone will be happy with it, but again he will support
this.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to adopt
Resolution No. 20-095, approving the amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Plan Map, as well as related figures, tables and text; and to adopt
Resolution No. 20-096, approving the preliminary and final plat for Unity Village
Apartments; and to adopt Resolution No. 20-097, rescinding resolutions 6996 and 87-
135 relating to property located at 6027 West 37th Street and 3700 Alabama Ave.; and
to approve the first reading of ordinance adding section 36-268-PUD 17 to the zoning
code and amending the zoning map from R-3 two-family residence to PUD 17, and set
the second reading for July 6, 2020.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Mavity absent).
8b. Bremer Bank conditional use permit (CUP) Resolution No. 20-098
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report.
Councilmember Harris noted she tried to attend the May 13, 2020 meeting; however,
she was unable to participate. She stated the development company did not reach out
to answer her questions and there has not been strong engagement from developers
with residents or with council. She encouraged them to step it up.
Councilmember Harris questioned why Bremer wants to move from one side of
Knollwood Mall to the other. Mr. Walther stated their current lease is nearing its end,
and they need larger space. Additionally, this area would allow them to be in a stand-
alone location, and to use their own branding.
Councilmember Harris asked if the driveways line up from the bank to Knollwood. Ms.
Kramer stated yes there is almost perfect alignment.
Councilmember Harris asked if Bremer will use solar or wind power at the new site
given the city’s climate action plan specifications.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 14
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
Councilmember Harris stated some residents are sad about losing Knollwood Liquor and
the Papa Murphy’s Pizza at this location. She asked if there is an opportunity for those
two businesses to relocate. Ms. Kramer stated she has not heard from the current
owner on their plans. Mr. Walther stated staff would be willing to work with these
businesses to help find new locations for them.
Councilmember Brausen stated this is his bank, and he will have to drive farther now to
get there. He stated he is generally not in favor of a drive-thru, given the climate crisis.
However, given COVID, drive-thrus may need to remain. He added the city does need to
require green building aspects for commercial buildings. He stated, however, he will
support this development.
Councilmember Kraft asked the developer about solar energy and if it would be
included on the building. Mr. Anderson stated it is not planned, but they would continue
to evaluate this. Mr. Fanning stated Bremer participates in a program to purchase
power and energy off the grid, which then applies to buildings. He stated they will look
at this program for this development also. Councilmember Kraft encouraged that they
do so.
Councilmember Harris asked about the timeline for redevelopment. Mr. Anderson
apologized for not connecting earlier with Councilmember Harris stating he was not
aware she had reached out. He stated the timeline is still being finalized and relates to
the plans of the current businesses on the property and when they will be moving.
Councilmember Harris encouraged the developers to look at solar or wind power and to
participate in order to reduce dependence on coal. She stated the sooner businesses
know about this we can all be better neighbors to each other.
Mayor Spano added he appreciates Bremer participates in the purchasing program for
sustainability but stressed they can do more on this and should consider looking at more
options. He added the building design looks like there is a large amount of glass and
noted the use of trees and plantings can help to reduce energy use on the site. He
encouraged them to pursue this as well.
It was moved by Councilmember Harris, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to
adopt Resolution No. 20-098, approving the conditional use permit subject to the
conditions recommended by staff.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Mavity absent).
9. Communications
Councilmember Brausen stated he will attend the National League of Cities public safety and
crime discussion this week and will report back to council. Mayor Spano stated he will also be
there for the discussion on police.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Page 15
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 15, 2020
Councilmember Rog noted the Common Sound Music Festival which will be held June 24-28,
2020 will be virtual this year. She stated it is a 5-day event and proceeds support many good
causes.
Mayor Spano stated he spoke yesterday at a Wat Prom event, related to fund raising in this
time of COVID. He asked folks to remember them for donations.

Title: City council meeting minutes of July 6, 2020
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report.
Councilmember Harris referenced the city’s green building policy. She asked what
considerations were made for making this building carbon neutral by 2040 and if the
current green building policy includes requirements for this building to be carbon
neutral by 2040. Mr. Walther stated the city’s green building policy is progressively
increasing requirements, meeting thresholds as each step is reached. He stated these
buildings are not required to be carbon neutral by 2040, noting the applicant has
applied for grants on solar panels for the development.
Councilmember Rog thanked staff for the report and responses to questions from past

The motion passed 6-0-1 (Councilmember Mavity recused).
9. Communications
Councilmember Kraft stated he was interested in having a deeper discussion with staff
and council on masks and requiring or strongly encouraging them. He asked that it be
added to next week’s study session agenda.
Mayor Spano stated this issue is evolving rapidly and in his recent meeting with
Commissioner Green, this topic was discussed. He noted that the Commissioner will be
looking at this issue more closely.
Councilmember Harris reminded the council she had brought this topic up at the June 8,
2020 meeting, and asked Mr. Harmening for an update from staff. Mr. Harmening
stated staff can be prepared to discuss this with council on Monday, July 13, 2020 at the
study session, along with topics already on the agenda including, race equity check-in,
Connect the Park, mobility and movement via bike and pedestrians. He added staff has
been involved in an educational campaign on masks and in robust communication with
the community about the importance of using masks. He also noted staff has asked
Discover SLP and the Chamber of Commerce and all businesses to encourage customers
to use masks as well.
Councilmember Mohamed stated the conversation is worth having as we are exploring a
new way of life now.
Councilmember Mavity added she is happy to discuss, noting the city should do a
proclamation if the state does not do anything.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 6, 2020
Councilmember Rog asked if the city might call an emergency meeting to discuss this in
order to make this decision quickly if needed. She agreed it’s important to do what the
city can to encourage folks to wear masks as it is better for all.
Councilmember Brausen stated he has heard from constituents that they want an
ordinance around masks, but added he is hesitant as there will be a struggle enforcing it.
Mayor Spano added he is also interested in having this discussion but does share
Councilmember Brausen’s sense of restraint and the issue of enforcement. He stated
council should discuss and hear from the public, noting that several businesses in town
are supportive of using masks. He added several mayors are meeting with the governor
on Friday and the mask issue may be discussed.
It was the consensus of the council to add the mask topic to Monday’s study session
agenda.
Councilmember Brausen stated he received many emails on fireworks this week, noting
it is a public safety issue. He stated without organized fireworks this year, folks were
setting off fireworks on their own, which was quite disruptive. He noted the city does
have an ordinance on this, along with the state, and pointed out the city has noise
ordinances too. He stated it is unfortunate the city does not have voluntary compliance,
and he was asked by some folks to have the city prohibit fireworks altogether.
Councilmember Brausen added everyone needs to respect the rights of others and limit
use of fireworks, and neighbors should speak to one another vs. calling the police,
unless there is a violation of the ordinance. He asked all to cooperate.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she thought fireworks were banned in St. Louis Park
and asked if they are only allowed on July 4th. She added there is a sensitivity with her
family as her parents are survivors of war, and not fans of fireworks. However, she
added it is an overreach for the police to enforce this. She stated she is willing to have a
deeper conversation on this topic.
Councilmember Mavity stated the Department of Public Safety prohibits the use of
fireworks in Minnesota and it is against state law, unless one has a commercial license.
She stated this is not only a St. Louis Park project, but a larger community problem, and
needs both education and enforcement.
Councilmember Harris stated this issue is like the masking issue and is about neighbors
taking responsibility to look out for ourselves and others, and honoring state law. She
added it falls on local authority to enforce the law and in the absence of city fireworks,
there was more leeway this year, due to COVID. She stated she hesitates the city
enforcing this, adding there is room to mitigate. She stated she personally has asthma,
and the day after the air quality made it difficult to be outside. She stated she is not
alone on this issue.
Councilmember Kraft asked if this can be added to a study session agenda within the
next 6 months and enforce the ordinance that is on the books.

Title: City council meeting minutes of July 6, 2020
Councilmember Brausen proposed this, but added he understands it is not a high
priority.
Councilmember Mavity stated she does not support discussing this issue as a study
session topic because it is state law.
Councilmember Rog stated she would like to return to discuss items on the TBD list for
future study sessions, and asked Mr. Harmening what the plan is now about getting
back to city business. Mr. Harmening stated he will ask department directors and work
with Ms. Solano on the longer-term agenda planning tool and see where items can be fit
into future agendas. He stated staff can be more proactive to schedule these items, and
more diligent in setting dates for conversations.
Councilmember Rog asked if the city’s boards and commissions are now meeting on
Zoom. Mr. Harmening stated the planning commission has met on Zoom, and others are
starting to.
Councilmember Brausen asked if any councilmembers are actively engaged with the
League of Minnesota Cities (LMC), adding there is benefit by being involved.
Councilmember Kraft stated he went to the LMC annual meeting, and the Metropolitan
Council meeting as well. He added he will also participate in the improving city services
group.
Councilmember Brausen suggested for Metro Cities, one representative be regularly
engaged on groups.
Councilmember Rog noted she also was on several committees last year but is not this
year.
Councilmember Kraft asked how soon the commissions will be back on council agendas
to review their work plans. Ms. Solano stated she is currently discussing this with the
staff liaisons, and reports can be made to council after the best method for doing this is
decided.

Title: Arlington Row Apartments East and Arlington Row Apartments West plat extensions
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is Categorized as a Required Action**
• Motion to approve an extension until August 15, 2021 for Melrose Company to record the
final plat for Arlington Row Apartment East and Arlington Row Apartment West.
Policy consideration: Does the council wish to allow Melrose Company an additional year to
record the final plat for Arlington Row East and Arlington Row West?
Summary: Per the city code, Melrose Company was required to record the final plat within two
years after city council approval or request that the city council approve an extension. Melrose
Company has twice previously requested an extension to record the final plat on August 15,
2018 and August 15, 2019. The city received a written request from Melrose Company for an
extension on both plats again.
Melrose Company has delayed filing the plat in order to defer the costs of park and trail
dedication fees until the project moves forward. The developer planned to apply for a PUD
amendment earlier this year but delayed their application due to the global health pandemic. The
developer plans to apply for a PUD amendment and move forward with the project within the
next year. Staff recommend approval of a one-year extension to file the plat by August 15, 2021.

Dear Julie & Jacquelyn:
Melrose Company LLC
22375 Murray Street
Excelsior MN 55331
We are requesting an extension for filing the Final Plat on Arlington Row East and Arlington
Row West yet again. We had anticipated requesting modification of the PUD with a new design
for both sites but the Covid crisis put those plans on hold since early this year.
We plan to continue to engage with staff to discern viable design solutions for the ultimate
development of both Arlington Row East and Arlington Row West. We feel that we can work
with the staff, Planning Commission and City Council to implement and elegant solution and be
underway next year.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to presenting the evolution of our
planning and designs in the coming weeks.
Very truly yours,

Title: Amendment for Beltline Blvd SWLRT pedestrian improvements consultant contract – Proj.
No. 4022-2000
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is Categorized as Time Sensitive**
•Motion to authorize execution of an amendment to the professional services contract with
SEH Inc. in the amount of $16,610.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to continue with the Beltline Blvd SWLRT
Pedestrian Improvements project?
Summary: The city entered into contract 36-20 with Short Elliot Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) in April
2020 to complete public engagement and preliminary design of the pedestrian improvements
connecting to the future Beltline Blvd SWLRT station. Since the total cost of the agreement was
less than $175,000, it was approved by the city manager.
The original contract did not include easement acquisition. Rather, the contract looked to
identify temporary and permanent easements necessary to complete the project through an
initial analysis of the project corridors. This amendment is for SEH to subcontract with Henning
Professional Services (Henning) for their right of way acquisition services. This amendment is
necessary to keep the project on-track to meet federal aid project deadlines.
Original contract (approved by city manager) $167,455.00
Amendment #1 $ 16,610.00
Contract total $184,065.00
The easements of interest are along the west side of Beltline Boulevard. While a preliminary
concept design has not yet been approved for new pedestrian facilities on Beltline Blvd, any
installation on this corridor will require either temporary or permane nt easements. Because
this project uses federal funding and requires a right of way certificate, the easement
procedures must occur in parallel with the community engagement and preliminary design to
meet the project deadlines.
Financial or budget considerations: This project is planned for and included in the city’s
adopted Capital Improvement Plan and will be funded by federal funds and general obligation
bonds. The federal funding in the amount of $560,000 will be used to offset a portion of the
construction costs.
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.

The project will create more comfortable and convenient pedestrian connections in and around
the future Beltline Blvd SWLRT station area, including along Beltline Blvd, the south frontage
road to CSAH 25, Ottawa Ave, and Lynn Ave.
SEH is providing the city with professional engineering services for public engagement and
preliminary design of the pedestrian improvements. SEH is utilizing the services of Toole Design
Group, LLC (Toole Design) for public engagement and concept plans.
Th e city has received $560,000 in fede ral funds to construct this project. The federal contract
approval deadline for these funds is April 1, 2021, and the city remains on track to complete the
work required for this deadline.
The community engagement process for this project is ongoing. The first virtual open house
was hosted on July 14. A study session report will be brought to council with recommended
concept designs later this fall after further community, stakeholder, and agency partner
engagement.
Ame ndment: The original contract did not include easement acquisition. Rather, the contract

The professional services agreement with the City of St. Louis Park with SEH for the 2022 CSAH 25/Beltline
Blvd Pedestrian Improvements, City Project No. 4022-2000 did not include acquiring easements for this
project. The current design along Beltline Boulevard requires both permanent and temporary easements for

Inc. to acquire these easements, see attached. The anticipated cost to acquire these easement is:
Firm Cost
SEH $ 1,100
Henning Professional Services $ 15,510
Total Cost $ 16,610
SEH is requesting that the City increase the value of our fee by $16,610, for a total amended contract amount
of $184,065. Please contact me with any questions or comments.

Re: Right of Way Services Scope and Fee – St. Louis Park – Beltline Boulevard
Dear Mr. Houle,
I am pleased to offer right of way acquisition services to assist the City with securing the land
rights for Beltline Boulevard Project. It is my understanding that this is an exceedingly fast track,
federally funded project and acquisition services are required for two parcels (3520 and 3440
Beltline Boulevard). The project includes federal funding and will require a R/W Certificate. I have
assembled a solid acquisition team who has delivered numerous projects together in the past.
Acquisition services will be provided by my firm and appraisal services will be provided by Jason
Messner, Patchin Messner Valuation Counselors.
This schedule is extremely aggressive, and it is of utmost importance to obtain the title work and
parcel sketches as soon as possible. I would be happy to discuss schedule with the team in greater
detail.
Our team is proposing to provide the following scope of services which are provided in
accordance with the MnDOT R/W Manual and FWHA guidelines:
Right of Way Agent Services for 4 Partial Acquisitions:
a) Maintain and provide acquisition spread sheets for information on acquisition
b)Attend an open house and several PMT meetings, as needed
c)Early Notification letter to owner with formal project information and property rights
d)Contact the landowner and schedule Field Title Investigation meeting
e)Conduct Field Title Investigation and complete Report, coordinating with Appraiser
f)Work closely with the City and designer related to landowner questions and project details
g)Prepare offer letter and packet for each parcel
h)Present offer of compensation
i)Negotiate purchase of the easements
j)Draft Administrative Settlements as appropriate
k)Obtain signed easements and provide executed documents to City
l)Draft and submit Pay Request for payment to owner
m)Process appraisal reimbursements for landowners, as needed

n)This task will also provide coordination with the City Attorney (CA) who will provide the
conveyance documents and other required legal documents and lender consents. If the CA were
to provide a sample document, Henning Professional Services, Inc. (HPS) could populate the
documents and the CA would review and approve the final version.
o)Provid e parcel files to the City summarizing the acquisition at the end of the project
p)Represent the City at the MnDOT review of the parcel files as related to the review required for
the R/W Certificate #1.
Appraiser and Review Appraiser Services:
Jason Messner, Patchin Messner Valuation Counselors, will provide before and after appraisals for
each of the two parcels at a total fee not to exceed $5,000. Delivery of the reports could be within
2 to 3 weeks of final sketches and staking of the properties. Appraisal reviews will be completed
by a licensed appraiser for $600 each.
Assumptions:
a)The City or their design consultant will provide the title work, parcel sketches, staking and survey
services needed.
b)Henning Professional Services, Inc. (HPS) is not a law firm and does not provide legal services. The
city attorney (CA) will provide legal documents such as deeds, easements, consents, disclaimers,
etc., as required. If the CA would like to provide templates, HPS can populate those templates but
does require that the CA provide final review and approval as to form and content. The CA will
also review title work and ensure that all interested parties are defined and listed prior to the
agent meeting with the landowner.
c)The City will provide review of any permits required (fence, sign, etc.) and request and issue
permits as required.
d)The City will record all documents that they would like recorded.
e) The City will provide all tax forms such as 1099’s.
f)No relocation is included in this estimate.
g)The CA will provide all eminent domain tasks, if needed. HPS assistance would be limited to
providing all information and files in HPS’s possession and to strategize with CA, if requested.
h)This includes the time to acquire two lender consents, if needed. Any costs charged by the lender
for a consent would be provided as a past through cost and is not included in the dollar amount of
this bid.
i)This also assumes no parking will be impacted temporarily or permanently.

1.Motion to approve first reading of a revised ordinance that repeals sections 8-331 and 8-
332 of city code requiring a crime -free, drug-free lease addendum, notices of violations
and termination of tenancy for violation of the ordinance in their entirety, and to

o Allow the city to change a rental license to provisional status upon determination of
ongoing public safety concerns, without regard to the number of reported incidents
o Allow landlords and involved tenants to appeal this decision before the provisional
license takes effect.
Policy consideration: Doe s the council agree that the revised ordinance reflects council’s d irection
to repeal the crime and drug free rental license ordinance consistent with the recommendations
from the crime/drug f ree rental ordinance workgroup?
Summary: The crime/drug-free rental housing ordinance took effect in 2008 in response to
concerns related to rental p roperties experiencing disord erly o r criminal activity. Council
concerns relate d to the impact of the ordinance were discussed in M ay and Decemb er 2018. In
order to allow time for further study of the ordinance, council approved a resolution
suspending sending violation notices of city code S ection 8-331 to rental properties at the
D ecemb er 17, 2018 council m eeting.
Council conv en ed a group of key stakeholders to revi ew in formation /data, gain input and

months during which the workgroup conducted an in -depth analysis of the ordinance. The
workgroup also reviewed and considered the comments f rom a community e ngagement
process. Following months of evaluation, the workgroup drafted two recommendations which
were presented at the March 9, 2020 study session. Additional data was provided to the council

Title: First reading - Repeal of crime and drug free rental ordinance
Discussion
Background: The crime/drug-free rental housing ordinance took effect in 2008 in response to
concerns related to rental properties experiencing disorderly or criminal activity. Following
discussions held by council on the impacts of the ordinance in May and December 2018, the
council approved a resolution suspending sending notices of violations of city code Section 8-
331 to owners or property managers of a rental property in order to allow time for further
study of the ordinance.
Crime /drug-free rental ordinance workgroup: In early 2019, council convened a group of key
stakeholders to review information/data, gain input and provide recommendations to the city
council on possible changes to the ordinance. Workgroup members included rental property
owner/managers, renters, community members and a legal aid attorney. The first workgroup
meeting was held April 14, 2019. Nine meetings were held over the following nine months at
which the workgroup conducted an in-depth review and analysis of the ordinance. The
workgroup also reviewed and considered the comments from a community engagement
process.
Existing ordinance
Key components of the current ordinance include:
•Crime-free, drug-free training required
•Use of crime-free addendum required
•Owner/property manager receives notice of violations
•Termination of tenancy required for three disorderly use violations in a 12-month period
•Termination of tenancy required for violation of the crime or drug provisions
•Owner may appeal the notice of violations that require termination
•Owner failing to proceed with termination is subject to an administrative violation fee
•Provisional license based on the number of police contacts or failure to comply with city
code
Early in the process the workgroup identified areas of concern related to the existing ordinance
that influenced their decisions as they worked to create changes to the current ordinance.
These areas include:
•Proportionality: The existing ordinance treats all levels of crime the same from a petty
misdemeanor to a felony.
•Due process: The ordinance does not provide necessary due process for tenants.
Tenants do not receive notices of violations from the city/police department and
tenants do not have an appeal process.
•Equity/Racial Equity: The ordinance has a disparate impact on lower income renters and
people of color.
•Overreach: The language in the ordinance is too broad including “other person affiliated
with the resident” and “near the premises”. The ordinance requires everyone on the
lease be terminated and workgroup members discussed this as an overreach when
removing one lease holder may be enough.
•Not necessary: Public safety goals can be addressed without having the ordinance in
place. Minnesota State Statute already addresses criminal behavior in rental housing
and an eviction process is in place .

•Homeowners: The ordinance only applies to rental property, holding renters to a
different standard creating a power imbalance between renters and homeowners.
•Homelessness: The ordinance incentivizes tenant displacement which may result in
homelessness which does not make the community safer.
All workgroup members agreed that changes to the existing ordinance were necessary. The
majority did agree on several key principles related to the current ordinance including:
•The city should continue to require owners/property managers to attend a crime -free
trainin g and enhance the training to include domestic violence and mental health and
continue to include mediation and fair housing.
•Any notice sent to a landlord should also be sent to the tenant.
•Tenants should be allowed to appeal violation notices.
•Existing ordinance has too broad of a reach. Violations should be limited to activity that
occurs on the premises. Most workgroup members stated “other person affiliated with
the resident” was an overreach.
•The majority agreed that compulsory lease termination should be removed from the
ordinance; however, one workgroup member disagreed.
Workgroup recommendations: The areas of concern and consensus above are reflected in two
options recommended by the workgroup. Most of the workgroup members supported
presenting both Option A and Option B to the council and are as follows:
Option A, amend existing ordinance
1.Require rental licensing.
2.Require training every three years with updates on new/modified information provided
through the quarterly SPARC (St. Louis Park Area Rental Coalition) newsletters or in
meetings, or when there is a change in management/ownership.
3.Enhance training to include information related to domestic violence, mental illness,
tenant resources and mediation services.
4.Require crime -free addendum for all leases.
5.Modify definitions to clarify who and where incidents apply to.
6.Remove the compulsory lease terminations components of the ordinance.
7.When an incident is documented by the police department, put in place an internal
review process to ensure the incident warrants a notice.
8.Any notice of an incident must be sent to both the landlord and tenant.
9.Consider options for the notice of incidents to come from a representative of the city
other than the police department.
10.Detailed records of all incidents are maintained by the city and reviewed with the
landlords upon renewal of rental license.
11.If it is determined that incidents are not being addressed at the property, require an
action plan be prepared and approved by the city prior to license renewal, and if
necessary, utilize the authority provided in the provisional license ordinance to ensure
that criminal, drug and safety issues are resolved.
Option B, repeal existing ordinances
1.Require rental licensing.
City council meeting of August 3, 2020 (Item No. 8b ) Page 4
Title: First reading - Repeal of crime and drug free rental ordinance
2.Require training every three years with updates on new/modified information provided
through the quarterly SPARC (St. Louis Park Area Rental Coalition) newsletters or in
meetings, or when there is a change in management/ownership.
3.Enhance training to include information related to domestic violence, mental illness,
tenant resources and mediation service.
4.Repeal sections 8-331 and 8-332 requiring crime -free, drug-free lease addendum, notices
of violations and termination of tenancy for violation of the ordinance in their entirety.
5.Revise Provisional License Ordinance 8-333 to:
o Allow the city to downgrade a rental license to provisional status upon
determination of ongoing public safety concerns, without regard to the number of
reported incidents.
o Allow landlords and involved tenants to appeal this decision before the provisional
license takes effect.
Public comments: A public meeting was held February 4, 2020 to seek public comment on the
crime/drug-free ordinance and the recommendations being proposed by the workgroup. Public
comments were also accepted through the city’s we b site from January 28 – F ebruary 11. All
the comments received at the community meeting supported Option B, repealing the
ordinance. Most comments received online also supporte d Option B. There were comments
submitted in support of Option A, modifying the ordinance, but to a much lesser e xtent.
Council direction: Following consideration of the public comments, the workgroup finalized the
recommendations presented to the council at the March 9 study session. Most workgroup
members supported Option B, repealing the ordinance and revising the provisional license. Two
workgroup members support Option A and one workgroup member supports keeping the
current ordinance with the compulsory lease termination but addressing due process issues. In
general, the community members, housing advocates and tenants on the workgroup support
repealing the ordinance and the property owners/managers support modifications to the
ordinance. At the June 8, 2020 study session, the council and workgroup discussed the
recommendations propose d by the workgroup. The council directed staff to revise the rental
license to repeal the crime/drug free language consistent with the workgroup’s Option B
recommendation.
Next steps: The ne xt step in the revision of the of the ordinance is the second reading/adoption
of the ordinance scheduled for the August 17, 2020 council meeting.
This ordinance shall take effect fifteen days after its publication.
