Executive summary
Title: 2020 Small Business Saturday proclamation
Recommended action: Mayor is asked to read the proclamation designating Saturday,
November 28, 2020 as Small Business Saturday.
Policy consideration: Not applicable.
Summary: Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the
country. Founded by American Express, this day is annually celebrated on the Saturday after
Thanksgiving. This year’s Small Business Saturday is planned for November 28, 2020. Its
purpose is to support and promote small businesses which contribute considerably to their
local economies and the unique character of their communities. While this year’s Small
Business Saturday may look a little different due to COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to
highlight local small businesses and for the community to support them.
Small businesses have been particularly hard-hit by the pandemic and vulnerable to its impacts.
Despite these challenges, there is hope. Many independent businesses have gotten creative by
taking storefronts online, restaurants are offering meals curbside and through various delivery
methods, movie theaters are selling bags of popcorn to go with home streaming sessions, and
fitness studios are offering classes online. These are some of the endless ways small businesses
are adapting and reinventing themselves.
Throughout the pandemic, consumers have also been making greater efforts to shop small in a
socially distant, responsible manner. By promoting Small Business Saturday, St. Louis Park is
helping raise awareness of the critical role small businesses play in the city. It also encourages
residents to continue supporting the small businesses that make the community thrive. By
celebrating small businesses and buying local, we can ensure we all make it through these
challenging times together.
In addition to this proclamation, the initiative will also be promoted on the city’s website and
through social media.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Proclamation
Small Business Saturday
November 28, 2020
Whereas, St. Louis Park celebrates its local small businesses and the many contributions
they make to the local economy and community; and
Whereas, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there are approximately
520,000 small businesses in Minnesota, representing 46.9 percent of the working population,
and employing 1.3 million people; and
Whereas, U.S. consumers reported spending an estimated $19.6 billion at independent
local businesses on Small Business Saturday in 2019 an estimated $2 billion increase in the total
amount spent from the year before; and
Whereas, on average for every dollar spent at local small businesses 67 cents stays in
the local community; and
Whereas, St. Louis Park supports its local businesses that create jobs, boost its local
economy, promote diversity and enrich neighborhoods; and
Whereas, the people of St. Louis Park are grateful to the small locally owned businesses
of the city for their generous contribution to the quality of life we all enjoy; and
Whereas, federal, state and local officials, advocacy groups and public and private
organizations across the county have endorsed the Saturday following Thanksgiving as Small
Business Saturday; and
Whereas, St Louis Park urges all residents to support their local small businesses on
Small Business Saturday and throughout the year.
Now therefore, let it be known that the Mayor and City Council of the City of St. Louis
Park do hereby proclaim November 28, 2020 to be Small Business Saturday in St. Louis Park.
Wherefore, I set my hand and cause the
Great Seal of the City of St. Louis Park to be
affixed this 2nd day of November 2020.

Executive summary
Title: Second reading of 2021 fee ordinance
Recommended action: Motion to approve second reading and adopt Ordinance establishing
fees for 2021 as outlined in Appendix A of the City Code of Ordinances.
Policy consideration: Are the proposed fees commensurate with the cost of the various
services the city provides?
Summary: Each year our fees are reviewed by departments prior to renewal and as part of our
budget process. All fees are reviewed each year based on comparison to other cities in the
metro area, changes in regulations, and to make sure our business costs are covered for
corresponding services. Council only acts on the Appendix A items, as those are within our city
code. Council policy is that other fees are set administratively by the city manager with
recommendations from department directors and are reviewed on a regular basis.
On Oct. 19, 2020, council held a public hearing and approved the first reading of the
ordinance setting fees. Since the first reading, finance staff was informed that several fees need
adjustment and are highlighted in the attachment.
Next steps: With council approval of second reading the fee changes will be effective Jan. 1, 2021.
Financial or budget considerations: The proposed fee changes have been incorporated into the
preliminary 2021 budget.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Second reading of 2021 fee ordinance
Discussion
How are fees set?
•The city ordinance has a number of sections where fees are set, and each year council
approves any changes to these fees through a public hearing process and approval. The
first reading and public hearing was held Oct. 19, 2020 with no calls regarding fees at
the public hearing. Second reading has been set for Nov. 2, 2020.
•Other fees are reviewed on a regular basis and set administratively by the city manager
by recommendations from department directors.
•Once this process is finalized, all fees are listed on the city website.
Were there any other changes made prior to second reading?
•Yes. Following the meeting, finance was informed that several changes needed to be
included for the 2nd reading.
•Changes are highlighted in the attachment.
Do we have information on the council question regarding sign permit fees from council at the
meeting on Oct. 19?
Q: In the listing of sign permit, does the fee for installation of a permanent sign without footing
include painted signs on the wall of a building – the answer is yes.
•permanent sign w/no footing includes painted wall signs.
•new- ((super graphic (mural)) is for murals that do NOT include any form of business
signage. Staff does do a review of murals, but it is less involved than a permanent sign
with no footings, so we thought it made sense to have a lower fee for murals. Also, this
allows community development to track murals to ensure they are not converted to
signs in the future.

Executive summary
Title: Approve assessment of delinquent charges
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution to assess delinquent water, sewer, storm
water, refuse, abatement of tree removals, false alarms, mowing, and citation charges against
the benefiting property.
Policy consideration: Does the city council desire to collect outstanding fees and charges
through the special assessment process?
Summary: The city certifies delinquent charges to Hennepin County as a means to collect on
these accounts. The certification is done via the special assessment process and becomes a lien
on the individual properties that is due over the next year or several years, depending upon the
type of charge. Delinquent accounts relate to charges for water, sewer, storm water, refuse,
abatement of tree removals, false alarms, mowing, and citations against the benefiting
property.
On Oct. 19, 2020, city council held a public hearing to solicit public comments regarding special
assessment balances. Two property owners contested the validity of their delinquent charges.
Upon review of details and discussion with both individuals, staff is recommending waiving the
charges for both residents which includes one $200 charge for false alarms, and $125 for
mowing.
As of Oct. 27, 2020, the total delinquent balance was $543,118.42, which included 821
accounts/invoices. Final balance will be set after the Nov. 2, 2020 deadline.
Next steps: If approved, any charges and fees outstanding after the Nov. 2, 2020 deadline will
be certified to Hennepin County for collection as part of the owner’s property tax bill.
Financial or budget considerations: Collection of these charges is vital to the financial stability
of the City’s utility systems and to reimburse the City for expenses incurred in providing
services.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Discussion
Background: The Louisiana Avenue Bridge replacement project is located on Louisiana Avenue
between Excelsior Boulevard and Louisiana Circle (near Methodist Hospital). The existing bridge
over Minnehaha Creek needs replacement along with the road leading up to the bridge. The
scope of the project includes:
•Reconstruction of the road/ bridge between Louisiana Circle and Excelsior Boulevard.
•Cycle track bike facility between Louisiana Circle and Excelsior Boulevard.
•Multi-use trail construction between Oxford Street and Louisiana Circle.
•Elevating the new bridge over Minnehaha Creek to provide a trail connection under the
bridge. This connection allows bikers and pedestrians to get from the Minnehaha Creek
trail to the Park Nicollet boardwalk under Louisiana Avenue.
•New sidewalk along the west side of Louisiana Avenue between Excelsior Boulevard and
the Minnehaha Creek Trail.
•Streetlight pole replacement and upgrade to LED fixtures.
•Signal rehabilitation (Louisiana Circle).
•Mill and overlay of Louisiana Circle.
•Watermain replacement between Louisiana Circle and Excelsior Boulevard.
•Stormwater improvements – new piping and infiltration systems.
•Miscellaneous utility rehabilitation.
Council approved the final plans and specifications and authorized bidding documents for the
Louisiana Avenue Bridge on Dec. 16, 2019. This project was originally scheduled for construction in
2020, with a bid opening on March 5, 2020. The bids received were high and were rejected at the
April 6, 2020 City Council meeting. In interviewing the contractors, it was determined that the high
bids were the result of contractors already being committed to bridge construction work already
under contract for 2020 with SWLRT and MnDOT projects. Staff worked with our consultant to
modify the construction schedule, plans, specifications and estimates to rebid the project in late
2020 for construction in 2021.
An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor on Sept. 17, and 24,
2020, and in Finance and Commerce on Sept. 15 through Sept. 25, 2020. Email notification was
provided to four (4) minority associations, and final printed plans were available for viewing at
City Hall. In addition, plans and specifications were made available electronically via the
internet on the city’s OneOffice website.
Sixty-two (62) contractors/vendors obtained plan sets, including eight (8) Disadvantaged
Business Enterprises (DBE). Eight contractors submitted bids on the project.

Amendment to the contract for construction services:
The city engaged Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to provide final design and construction
services for the project. The original contract with the firm was approved on March 20, 2018.
This contract needs to be amended due to the following reasons.
1. The original bids were rejected. Additional costs have been incurred to rebid the project
and adjust the plans and specifications to meet on MnDOT and City specification updates.
2. The billing rate of the consultant has changed since March of 2018.
3. The duration of construction is longer than originally anticipated.
The contract to date with Kimley-Horn is $1,669,332.50. An amendment of $224,616 is needed
to complete this project. City staff are not qualified to complete the construction inspection of
the bridge. Engineering staff will be assisting with the inspection of the utilities, street,
sidewalk, and trail construction.
Schedule and next steps: Construction on the Louisiana Avenue Bridge is expected to start in
mid-November 2020 and be completed by November 2021. The first two items that the
contractor will work on is tree removal and bridge removal. The new bridge foundation will be
constructed over the winter. Louisiana Avenue will be closed for most of the project, as a result,
a detour will be in-place routing traffic from Louisiana Avenue to Oxford Street/ Meadowbrook
Road. Staff will work closely with Methodist Hospital and Emergency responders to ensure that
they are kept informed regarding this project.

Title: Traffic study 740 – Removal of permit parking restrictions on 3700 block of Oregon Ave.
Discussion
Background: Staff received a request to evaluate permit parking restrictions on Oregon Avenue
between Lake Street and the S Hwy 7 Frontage Road in September 2020. This request was
brought to the city’s traffic committee.
The traffic committee is an internal employee workgroup made up of the engineering,
operations, police, and community development departments. The group meets monthly to
discuss traffic requests from across the city and makes recommendations on possible changes.
Any official changes to traffic controls or parking restrictions are ultimately approved by the city
council.
The traffic committee discussed this item at the October 2020 committee meeting and
recommended the removal of permit parking restrictions.
The permit parking was installed on both sides of Oregon Avenue from Lake Street to the S Hwy
7 Frontage Road in February 2017. The permit restrictions were installed in response to
residents and businesses in the area contacting the city with parking concerns. The complaints
centered on vehicles parking on the street for extended periods of time, longer than the 48-
hour limit (City code Sec. 30-153).
The requestor indicated to staff that the parking conflicts subsided due to a business moving
away from the area. Permit parking can be installed at a later date if new issues arise.
Community feedback: In October 2020, a letter was sent to the surrounding area (310
addresses) asking for comments and feedback on the recommended permit parking restriction
removal. Staff received one comment from community members:
•“We are very much in favor of removing this parking ban. It all came about due to a
couple illegal body shop businesses that were being run on the block that were using
the street to park their customers cars that were awaiting service. The City’s response
was to put up the signs instead of shutting down those businesses, but they have been
gone for a long time now”. – John Zdechlik, 3724 Oregon Ave

Title: Traffic study 740 – Removal of permit parking restrictions on 3700 block of Oregon Ave.
Resolution No. 20-____
Removal of permit parking restrictions on 3700 block of Oregon Ave
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park received a request to evaluate permit parking
restrictions on Oregon Ave from Lake St to the S Hwy 7 Frontage Rd; and,
Whereas, the permit parking was installed in 2017 to mitigate parking conflicts between
nearby businesses and residents; and,
Whereas, in hearing feedback from the area, the parking conflicts have subsided; and,
Whereas, the traffic committee has reviewed the permit parking in the area and
recommended the removal of the restrictions; and,
Whereas, St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make
their way around the city comfortably, safely, and reliably.
Now therefore be it resolved by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,
that Resolution 17-042 be rescinded.

Executive summary
Title: Traffic study 742 – Adjusting timed parking restrictions on Xylon Ave. south of Minnetonka
Blvd.
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution extending timed parking restrictions on
Xylon Avenue south of Minnetonka Boulevard.
Policy consideration: The installation of parking restrictions is allowed per the city’s established
regulatory authority.
Summary: In September 2020, staff received a request from Aquila Elementary School to
evaluate timed parking restrictions on Xylon Avenue adjacent to the school (between
Minnetonka Boulevard and 31st Street). The school district changed the starting times for
elementary schools in Spring 2020.
In October 2020, the traffic committee reviewed the request to adjust the timed parking
restrictions. The committee recommended extending the timed parking restrictions an hour
earlier to accommodate the time change.
In October 2020, a letter was sent to the surrounding area looking for comments and concerns
regarding the proposed timed parking changes. One comment was received in support of the
recommendations. The letter was sent to 599 addresses.
Financial or budget considerations: The cost of enacting these controls is estimated to be $100
and will come out of the general operating budget. Signs are expected to last about 10 years.
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: Traffic study 742 – Adjusting timed parking restrictions on Xylon Ave. south of Minnetonka Blvd.
Discussion
Background: Staff received a request to evaluate timed parking restrictions on Xylon Avenue
between Minnetonka Boulevard and 31st Street in September 2020. This request was brought
to the city’s traffic committee by Aquila Elementary School.
The traffic committee is an internal employee workgroup made up of the engineering,
operations, police, and community development departments. The group meets monthly to
discuss traffic requests from across the city and makes recommendations on possible changes.
Any official changes to traffic controls or parking restrictions are ultimately approved by the city
council.
The traffic committee discussed this item at the October 2020 committee meeting and
recommended extending the timed parking restrictions to 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
during school days.
The timed parking restrictions on Xylon Avenue adjacent to Aquila Elementary School last from
8 a.m. – 4 p.m. during school days. The restrictions were installed to accommodate bus loading,
unloading, and other school activities.
In Spring 2020, the St. Louis Park School District adjusted the starting times for all schools. For
elementary schools, start times were moved to an earlier 7:45 a.m. The traffic committee
recommends extending the timed parking restrictions to accommodate for the new start times.
Community feedback: In October 2020, a letter was sent to the surrounding area (599
addresses) asking for comments and feedback on the recommended permit parking restriction
removal. Staff received one comment from community members:
• “I would be in favor of the adjustment to 7am-4pm for the school day restrictions along
Xylon Ave. Being one of the 'essentials' with General Mills, I actually need to go up to 1
GM Blvd once or twice a week still and knowing cars won't be on the West side of Xylon
(#winteriscoming) will make my mind a little easier as I head up to my very spacious
department space the 1st day of my work week”. – Joseph Miatech, 3100 Virginia Ave

Executive summary
Title: Traffic Study 743 – Authorize permit parking at 2841 Jersey Avenue
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing installation of permit parking
restrictions in front of 2841 Jersey Avenue.
Policy consideration: This authorization of parking restrictions is allowed per the city’s special
parking permit policy (Sec. 30-160).
Summary: In October 2020, staff received a request from a resident at 2841 Jersey Avenue for
a medical needs parking permit. The resident requires curbside access to vehicles adjacent to
their property due to mobility concerns.
The city’s code (Sec. 30-160) and past practice allow for permit parking in these types of
situations. It has been the city’s practice to use permit parking, which can be removed when the
individual needing access no longer resides there or no longer needs the access.
Staff considers the request to be valid and supports the installation of permit parking at 2841
Jersey Avenue. This recommendation is based on the following:
• A resident of the household has limited mobility and is eligible for a parking permit.
• Conflicting parking tendencies with neighbors will be mitigated.
Financial or budget considerations: The cost of enacting these controls is $300 and will come
out of the general operating budget. Parking signs can last on the street for roughly 10 years.
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.

3. Public Hearings
3a. Variance to allow an accessory building in the front yard of a through lot
Applicant: Brandon Eddy and Christine Olson
Location: 3274 Blackstone Ave S.
Case No.: 19-22-VAR
Gary Morrison, assistant zoning administrator, presented the staff report. The variance
request is to allow a detached garage to be allowed in the front yard of a through lot.
Mr. Morrison explained the neighbor to the north will be applying for, essentially, the
same variance.
Staff recommend the board conduct a public hearing and adopt the resolution
approving the requested variance with conditions recommended by staff.
Ms. Johnston-Madison asked staff if there is any value in looking at classifying Brunswick
Avenue as an alley rather than a street. Mr. Morrison explained that the difference
between a street and an alley is the dimensions of the right-of-way. Alleys do not allow
parking within while streets do.

A. Fence variance application – 1454 Texas Circle
Location: 1454 Texas Circle
Applicant: Jeb A. Myers
Case No.: 2-22-VAR
Gary Morrison, assistant zoning administrator, presented the staff report.
The applicant is requesting a fence variance at 1454 Texas Circle. This is a variance for a 6-foot
fence and the allowed fence height is 4 feet maximum in the front yard. The house faces Texas
Circle and the front yard faces Texas Avenue South.
Mr. Morrison noted the applicant would like the 6-foot fence in the front yard area. A privacy
fence currently is in place in the side yard and the applicant is looking to replace it and extend it
into the front yard. He pointed out details within the staff report.
Mr. Morrison stated that staff recommends adopting the resolution to deny the requested
variance of a 6-foot fence.
Chair Kraft opened the public hearing.
There were no callers on the line.
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 4j) Page 2
Title: Board of zoning appeals meeting minutes October 7, 2020
The applicant, Mr. Myers, stated staff has been helpful. He stated he has lived in St. Louis Park
since 2007 adding it’s diverse and a great location in the Twin Cities. He stated he believes this
corner lot incentivizes him to close his lot off.
Mr. Myers stated he and his family want privacy, but they also want to be welcoming. He stated
his house sits close to his adjoining neighbors with no privacy between homes. Mr. Myers
stated this fence would also allow privacy from Texas Avenue, from cars driving fast on the very
noisy street. This would allow his four children to play in the backyard with maximum safety.
Mr. Myers noted examples along W. Franklin Ave. in St. Louis Park where variances have been
granted, adding these lots are also irregular, as his is. He appreciates the opportunity to discuss
this and wants to be sure the 2040 comp plan is in full effect. He added he would like to use
30% more of his yard by having the fence requested.
Commissioner Weber clarified the fence location is okay, but the height is the issue. So, in the
back of the back yard would be six feet, so why not do the fence at four feet in the area noted.
Mr. Myers stated he is trying to go as high as he can and added his house is two feet higher on
a slope, so this would allow for more privacy.
Commissioner Weber asked if the goal is to have a bigger back yard or to have more privacy.
Mr. Myers stated it is both and wanting the interior side yard to be expanded. He noted they
would not put a gate in, so as to allow folks to come into their yard.
Commissioner Weber asked Mr. Morrison if on Texas Avenue near the lot there is no sidewalk.
Is there a plan to put sidewalks on that side of Texas and what effect would the sidewalk have
on the lot with a four to six-foot fence?
Mr. Morrison stated there are no additional sidewalk plans for Texas Avenue at this time. He
stated if a sidewalk were to be put there, there would be no effect to the fence or lot. Mr.
Morrison added Mr. Myers would not need to take out the fence either, if a sidewalk were
added there.
Commissioner Erwin asked if there are restrictions on vegetative plantings in the front yard. Mr.
Morrison stated yes hedges are treated the same as fences, so hedges cannot exceed four feet
in height.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Weber stated it seems like this is very close to a compromise and asked for Mr.
Morrison’s and Mr. Myers’ thoughts here.
Commissioner Dumalag asked for Commissioner Weber’s intent. Commissioner Weber stated
he understands Mr. Myers’ thought process and asked if the fence can be four feet in the front
so it meets code, or if the fence could be a different material, or five feet instead.
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 4j) Page 3
Title: Board of zoning appeals meeting minutes October 7, 2020
Commissioner Dumalag stated she is generally in support of the application and is leaning
toward approval of the variance.
Commissioner Beneke added he also supports the variance and it is not out of scale. He asked if
it might set a precedent and if there is any reason to reject it.
Commissioner Eckholm stated he supports the staff recommendation to reject the variance
because of concern for setting a precedent. He stated they need to be cautious of granting one-
offs and he thinks it’s important to maintain the standards the city has set.
Commissioner Dumalag asked if this is based on precedent, from a practical standpoint, would
there be that many applications for this type of variance. She added however she does
understand the concept of precedent here.
Commissioner Eckholm stated there are many corner lots in the city, and this would set a
precedent.
Commissioner Weber agreed with Commissioner Eckholm and stated he would feel
comfortable to reject the variance if he felt Mr. Myers would put in the four-foot fence, which
would be acceptable. He stated he is sympathetic however.
Commissioner Weber asked if the BOZA rejected the variance, could Mr. Myers still build the
four-foot fence. Mr. Morrison stated the code would allow the four-foot fence in the front yard.
Commissioner Weber asked if the tree root area in the backyard would somehow allow for the
variance in order to make the yard more useable.
Mr. Morrison stated usually a tree is not involved in considering the variance.
Commissioner Dumalag asked if the applicant withdrew this request and then worked with staff
on an alternative, what the next steps are. Mr. Morrison stated staff can work with Mr. Myers
and rework the application, but it depends on the action of the BOZA. He added the motion
would need to be very clear.
Chair Kraft stated she would agree with Commissioner Dumalag and agree with the six-foot
fence in this case.
Commissioner Eckholm added if this variance could be made very specific, he would be more
supportive of it.
Commissioner Beneke stated he is sympathetic to the owner, but he is not happy about six-foot
fences. He would hate to encourage too many of these within the city.
Commissioner Weber asked would the fence be more allowable if it were see-through.
Commissioner Erwin stated this could be a slippery slope that could be avoided by following the
recommendations of staff.
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 4j) Page 4
Title: Board of zoning appeals meeting minutes October 7, 2020
Commissioner Eckholm noted there are some types of plexi-glass fences and added he would
not support a six-foot chain link fence. He also has concerns about setting precedent with other
applications in the future.
Commissioner Erwin made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Eckholm, to deny the fence
variance at 1454 Texas Circle as recommended by staff.
The motion failed on a vote of 3-4 (Commissioners Kraft, Dumalag, Dagane, Weber opposed).
Commissioner Weber made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Eckholm, to continue this
BOZA meeting to October 21, 2020 and to give direction to staff to create a new resolution for

3. Public Hearings
A. Accessory dwelling units zoning code text amendment
Applicant: City of St. Louis Park
Case Nos: 19-15-ZA
Rita Trapp, consulting planner, presented the staff report and an overview of the ADU
ordinance.
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 4k) Page 2
Title: Planning commission meeting minutes September 16, 2020
Ms. Trapp noted the ordinance classifies the ADU into two groups – attached or
detached. She stated ADU’s implement some of the goals and strategies from the city’s
comprehensive plan.
Ms. Trapp explained the ordinance components, including the ADUs are only allowed on
single-family lots in the R1, R2 or R3 zoning districts. All ADU’s must be at least 300
square feet in size with attached or detached having different upper limits. She also
noted side and rear yard and height requirements for ADUs. No additional parking
requirement is recommended and keeping the same amount of parking allowed with no
more than 3 vehicles allowed parked on a lot or 5 if there are 5 licensed drivers.
However, more parking is allowed within a garage and on the street.
Ms. Trapp added the ordinance also prohibits short term vacation rentals of dwelling
units and ADUs which is prohibited in the city regardless and prohibits sale of an ADU
independent of the principle building and lot. She added that up to one family and 2
boarders are allowed on the lot.
Ms. Trapp noted three options to be reviewed by the commission as well as potential
language that can be added or clarified by the commission.
Commissioner Erwin thanked Ms. Trapp and staff for providing options related to an
owner occupancy requirement.
Commissioner Weber asked about the detached ADUs 15 feet provision as met. He
asked for clarification on this, and if the 15 feet is for the primary house as well.
Mr. Walther stated the rear yard requirements are 25 feet for the principal building and
the typical detached accessory building is 2 feet. He stated the commission suggested
ADUs be 15 feet away to add separation and privacy for neighbors to the rear of the
property.
Chair Kraft opened the public hearing.
There were no callers into the public hearing.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Beneke stated he is excited to see this proposal as it relates to naturally
occurring affordable housing. He stated the only part he’s concerned about is the
potential of ADUs being set up as rental properties managed by remote owners. He
stated he felt there should be owner occupancy, but added it might be too costly to
build, so then possibly fewer ADUs would be built ultimately. He stated he is happy
about the third option which stated it has to be owner occupied when constructed. He
added to start with they might want to add this requirement.
Commissioner Eckholm stated he agreed with Commissioner Beneke related to the third
option, to introduce more housing to the community, and it is a good start. He added
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 4k) Page 3
Title: Planning commission meeting minutes September 16, 2020
this will be just one of many options as part of the 2040 plan and he strongly supports
option 3.
Commissioner Dumalag also supports option 3.
Commissioner Weber asked how option 3 works if someone built an ADU for a family
member to rent vs. an absent landlord. Mr. Walther stated staff reviews all building
permits and could easily determine if a property is homesteaded or not and identify the
owners of property.
Commissioner Dumalag asked about the permit process timeline.
Mr. Walther stated there is no approval needed by the commission of city council
outside of administrative approval. Added new construction or major addition
applications are typically turned around within 3 weeks or less, depending on any
changes that are needed. There may be notice to neighbors if it meets the present
threshold to require a construction management plan.
Commissioner Dumalag asked if the certificate of occupancy then is issued. Mr. Walther
stated, yes, upon completion of the construction. If the property was rented, it likely
also requires a rental license.
Chair Kraft noted in the past she had supported option 1, but after hearing this
discussion, option 3 is a good compromise and she supports adding that language to the
ordinance.
Commission Erwin stated while she still has concerns about someone coming into a
neighborhood and buying up properties, she noted AUDs can be expensive. She stated
she will be curious how many will be built in the city in the next 10 years, but added she
still supports option 3.
Commissioner Weber asked if the ordinance can be revisited at a later date for updates
or changes, and if there is a numerical goal for ADUs to be produced.
Mr. Walther stated there is no goal for a number of ADUs to be built, however he added
the city can compare progress to other nearby cities and housing production as a whole.
Commissioner Beneke made a motion, Commissioner Dumalag seconded,
recommending approval of the accessory dwelling units (ADU) zoning code ordinance
text amendment as presented by staff, with the language from option 3.
The motion passed on a vote of 7-0.
B. Painted signs zoning code text amendment

City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 4k) Page 4
Title: Planning commission meeting minutes September 16, 2020

Mr. Morrison stated this zoning code will allow signs painted directly onto a building and
requires surfaces to be refinished after a sign is removed.
Chair Kraft opened the public hearing.
There were not callers into the public hearing.
Chair Kraft closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Weber made a motion, Commissioner Eckholm seconded, recommending

Title: 2021 budget and property owner service charges for Special Service District No. 1
Discussion
Background: On October 17, 2016, the city council approved a resolution imposing a multi-
year service charge for Special Service District No. 1 (this district is located along Excelsior
Boulevard from Quentin Avenue to Highway 100 and along Park Center Boulevard and
Monterey Drive).
Annually, the city council must set a service charge for the district following a public hearing
on the proposed charge. The Special Service District property owners approved the proposed
2021 budget and service charges. The notice of public hearing was published on the city’s
website and in the Sun Sailor on October 15 and October 29, 2020. The public hearing notice
was sent to all property owners within the district.
Special Service District No. 1 Financial Position
Special Service District No. 1 has an anticipated 2020 year-end fund balance of approximately
$30,507.
Proposed 2021 Budget and Service Charges
The property owners recommended approval of the following:
• 2021 budget amount of $106,672; no change from 2020.
• 2021 service charge amount of $96,672; no change from 2020.
• In general, expenses do not typically reach 100% of budget. Unused budget amounts
from previous years may be used to offset service charges.
Present considerations: The Special Service Districts are a benefit to the businesses and city as
they help maintain the improvements made in the district, promote a positive image of the
business corridor and attract customers to the area.
Next steps:
• On Nov. 16, 2020, the city council will be asked to adopt a resolution setting the
2021 Special Service District No. 1 budget and property owner service charges and
directing staff to certify the annual service charges to Hennepin County.
• In late-November, the city certifies the 2021 assessments (service charges) to
Hennepin County.

Title: 2021 budget and property owner service charges for Special Service District No. 6
Discussion
Background: On November 4, 2019, the city council approved a resolution imposing a multi-
year service charge for Special Service District service charge for Special Service District No. 6
(located along 36th Street W. from Wooddale Avenue to Highway 100). Annually, the city
council must set a service charge for the district following a public hearing on the proposed
charge. The special service district property owners approved the proposed 2021 budget and
service charges. The notice of public hearing was published on the city’s website and in the
Sun Sailor on October 15 and October 29, 2020. The public hearing notice was sent to all
property owners within the District.
Special Service District No. 6 financial position
Special Service District No. 6 has an anticipated 2020 year-end fund balance of approximately
$30,507.
Proposed 2021 budget and service charges
The property owners recommended approval of the following:
• 2021 budget amount of $27,400; no change from 2020.
• 2021 service charge amount of $20,400; no change from 2020.
• In general, expenses do not typically reach 100% of budget. Unused budget
amounts from previous years may be used to offset service charges.
Present considerations: The Special Service Districts are a benefit to the city as they
promote a positive image of the business corridor and to attract customers to the area.
Next steps:
• On November 4, 2020, the city council will be asked to adopt a resolution setting
the 2021 Special Service District No. 6 budget and property owner service charges.
• In late-November, the city certifies the 2021 assessments (service charges) to
Hennepin County.

Executive summary
Title: Public hearing and adoption of 2021 utility rates and solid waste fees
Recommended action: Mayor to open the public hearing, solicit comments, and close the public
hearing. Motion to adopt Resolution setting utility rates and solid waste fees for 2021.
Policy consideration: Are the modifications to the utility rates, including water tier structure,
adequate to meet the conservation goals of the city council and insure long term sustainability of
the City’s utility operations and capital plans?
Summary: Highlights of the 2018 rate study included a lowered residential tier structure, the
introduction of commercial and industrial water tiers, and new options of 20 and 30 gallon every
other week garbage service. The plan was reviewed in 2019, and assumptions were adjusted
where necessary. Rates were also adjusted to support utility operations and capital plans over
the next 10 years and maintain long-term sustainability in each of the four utility funds.
To be consistent with prior years, the city continued to use the utility rate model completed by
Ehlers in 2018. The utility rate study allows us to make recommendations for utility rate
increases to ensure fund balances are adequate to cover appropriate operating expenses and
capital improvement projects related to utility funds. As discussed with council during recent
budget meetings, for 2021 the approximate cumulative effect on a typical residential property
for all the utility rate adjustments would be an increase of $14.43/quarter, or approximately
$4.81 per month. The calculation is based on a household using 30 units of water per quarter
(22,500 gallons) and 60-gallon solid waste service. Solid waste rates continue to support pay as
you throw and encourages recycling and organics use. Water and sewer rates are structured to
encourage water conservation.
The recommended rates will be in place for consumption or services provided beginning on
January 1, 2021. The attached resolution provides specific information on the recommended rate
adjustments for each fund.
Financial or budget considerations: Water, sewer, storm water and solid waste are enterprise
funds and are anticipated to have rates that cover the fund for all the related costs from debt
service, operations and capital improvement plans. The utility rates will support necessary city
services and capital improvements during 2021 and beyond.

Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake
Discussion
Background: The Historic Walker Lake commercial district in St. Louis Park is in the middle of a
renaissance with both private and public reinvestment occurring. In October 2018, the city
started work on a revitalization plan for the Historic Walker Lake commercial district to
promote and guide reinvestment that preserves the character and scale of the district. The
revitalization plan process involved robust public participation with the community, local
businesses and commercial property owners. These efforts are documented and available on
the city’s website. The Historic Walker Lake: District Revitalization Plan (HWL Plan) was
completed in May 2019 and officially approved by the city in January 2020. The plan
encourages revitalization and placemaking within the district, while preserving the character
and scale of the area. In addition, the city is investing in the area’s infrastructure by updating
the street design, adding sidewalks, bike lanes, enhancing parking areas and rebuilding two
alleys.
One of the plan’s key recommendations is to create a new zoning district specific to the Historic
Walker lake area with a supplemental design guideline document. In study sessions the
planning commission discussed changes to the zoning ordinance, including a new zoning district
that addresses building form and uses, and a design guideline document to provide guidance on
the desired character and appearance of future infill development and reinvestment within the
district.
The ordinance and design guidelines were created directly from the recommendations of the
revitalization plan. The draft ordinance and design guidelines are also supported by the newly
formed Historic Walker Lake business association.
The city council approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance to update the parking
requirements in Historic Walker Lake in late 2019 and has discussed the revitalization plan at
numerous study sessions and regular meetings. The city council has previously voiced support
for the establishment updated zoning regulations for the area, that implement the community’s
vision and recommendations of the revitalization plans.
Linked below are agendas and minutes from previous city council discussions and actions
regarding the Historic Walker Lake revitalization plan and associated zoning code amendments:
•May 28, 2019 agenda (page 18) and minutes (page 2)
•December 2, 2019 agenda (page 160) and minutes (page 7)
•February 3, 2020 agenda (page 114)
Since the acceptance by city council of the HWL Plan, city staff and the planning commission
analyzed how best to implement the recommendations of the plan. One of the plan’s key
recommendations is to create a new overlay district specific to the Historic Walker Lake area.
However, implementing an overlay district that adequately addresses parking, uses, building
form and public realm improvements while still relating to underlying zoning districts would be
very complicated and difficult to implement. Instead, the unique features and needs of the
Historic Walker Lake area make the establishment of a new zoning district and a supplemental
design guideline document the preferred alternative.
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake
The HWL Plan recommends that the implementation of the zoning district focus on building
form, public realm, uses and parking. Particular building design elements are not specifically
required, but promoted through a guidance document covering entrance design, articulation,
roof design, balconies, materials, colors, awnings and landscaping.

Present considerations: City council is asked to consider four land use and zoning decisions:

amendment to the Historic Walker Lake place-type description.
2. Amendment to the 2040 comprehensive future land use map to re-guide portions of
Historic Walker Lake to mixed-use.
3. Amendment to the zoning ordinance to create a new mixed-use division with two
mixed-use zoning districts: MX-1 and MX-2 and all associated zoning code amendments
and adopt the design guidelines as a supporting document to the MX-2 district.
Page 4 City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a)
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake
4.Amendment to the zoning map to rezone of all Historic Walker Lake to MX-2, and to
rename the existing MX district to MX-1.
2040 comprehensive plan: In order to rezone Historic Walker Lake to MX-2, the 2040 future
land use in the 2040 comprehensive plan needs to be consistent with any zoning changes. The
planning commission recommends re-guiding the future land use for Historic Walker Lake to
mixed use and recommends minor revisions to the mixed-use definition in the comprehensive
plan to remove the requirement that all parcels have a vertical mixing of uses. Instead, the
requirements for mixed-use buildings will be regulated through individual zoning districts.
Vertical mixed-use buildings will still be required for all parcels zoned MX-1.
It is also recommended that the comprehensive plan’s place type description for the Historic
Walker Lake District be updated to provide more specific guidance on the types of uses that
should be found within the district.
Zoning district: The planning commission met with city staff and a planning consultant from
HKGi on March 4, 2020 to review the recommended approach to the district (report; minutes).
The commission was in favor of renaming and rearranging the zoning code text of the existing
mixed-use zoning district, which will now be called the MX-1 vertical mixed-use district (MX-1)
district and incorporating a new Historic Walker Lake District, called MX-2 neighborhood mixed-
use district (MX-2) to create a mixed-use division within the zoning ordinance. These changes
would allow the division to expand as additional mixed-use districts are created, including any
transit-oriented development (TOD) districts that are later established.
The mixed-use division is organized similar to the other zoning divisions within the city’s zoning
code with general division performance standards placed at the division level and specific
requirements for height, setbacks, and uses within the district level.
The new mixed-use division will replace in its entirety the existing mixed-use section of city
code. The new mixed-use division is arranged so the performance standards for the districts,
which are the same for MX-1 and MX-2 and which were established as part of the adoption of
the original mixed-use district (now MX-1), are at the beginning of the ordinance. Uses,
dimensional standards, and any special provisions are established within each individual
district.
Staff made a few amendments since the city council reviewed it in September and planning
commission supported the changes in their recommendation. The proposed amendments
include changes to the division performance standards, MX-1 standards and MX-2 standards:
Performance standards:
•Refined definition of Building Height to Street Width Ratio for added clarity and an
updated graphic.
•Text changes throughout the definitions to clarify yard and street frontages.
•Clarified requirements for parking lot location design, garage entrances, and
trash/recycling loading areas.
MX-1 standards:
•Allow restaurants as a permitted use rather than a use with conditions. The conditions
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a) Page 5
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake
were unnecessary since liquor licenses are regulated under a separate section of city
code, and stand-alone bars are not a permitted use in the MX-1 or MX-2 district.
•Separate microbreweries from distilleries into two categories in the use chart and apply
the same conditions for these uses as other zoning districts throughout the city.
•Added exceptions within the form requirement table to the minimum lot line coverage
to allow courtyards, driveways, awnings and signage to encroach into the built-to-zone.
•Remove anerobic digesters as an accessory use.
MX-2 standards:
•Remove gas stations as an allowed use. The existing gas station would become a non-
conforming use and could not expand. New gas stations would not be permitted.
•Add a size limit to retail and service uses to mirror the recently adopted C-1
neighborhood commercial requirements.
•Remove the language pertaining to painted signs, based on the recently adopted sign
code amendments that allow signs to be painted on a portion of a building.
In addition to the mixed-use division, several sections of the zoning code need to be updated to
include references to the new zoning district. These amendments are detailed in the attached
draft ordinance amendment and include:
•Section 36-4 Definitions to update the definition of a shopping center to include vendor
markets (i.e. farmers markets or a food hall).
•Section 36-82(b)(7) Authorized temporary uses
•Section 36-111 Use districts established
•Table 36-115D Open space requirements
•Section 36-361 Off-street parking areas, paved areas, and loading spaces
•Section 36-361(l) Design requirements for parking yards
•Section 36-362 Signs
•Section 36-366(b) building design shadow requirements
Design guidelines: The commission and council have voiced support for creating a separate
design guideline document for MX-2 (Historic Walker Lake). The document provides guidance
for the desired character of future infill development in the district, without being overly
prescriptive. It is designed to be handed out to property owners and potential developers.
The planning commission received a report in July with a draft design guideline document and
sent feedback to staff. The commission then met on August 19, 2020 (report) to review a draft
of the MX-2 ordinance and the design guidelines. The commissioners voiced support for both
documents.
The city council received a report in September 2020 with a draft ordinance and the draft
design guideline document and was comfortable bringing the item to the planning commission
for their formal recommendation.
Community outreach: The draft zoning ordinance and design guidelines were presented to the
Historic Walker Lake Business Association on August 26, 2020, and they voiced support for the
changes.

Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake
A virtual neighborhood meeting was held on October 6, 2020. Notices were sent to all
properties within the district as well as all property owners within 350 feet of the district. 12
people attended, and their questions focused on changing uses, parking requirements for two
and three-story buildings and the future of the city’s parking lot on Gorham Avenue.
Community members voiced support for the ordinance and design guidelines and are excited
about the changes happening within the district.
Planning commission: The planning commission held a public hearing on October 21, 2020 and
no comments were made. The commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval of all land use
and zoning changes.
Recommendations: Staff recommends city council:
1. Amend the 2040 comprehensive future land use definition for mixed-use and amend
the Historic Walker Lake place-type description.
2. Amend the 2040 comprehensive future land use map to re-guide portions of Historic
Walker Lake to mixed-use.
3. Amend the zoning ordinance to create a new mixed-use division with two mixed-use
zoning districts: MX-1 and MX-2, including all associated zoning code amendments and
adopt the design guidelines as a supporting document to the MX-2 district.
4. Amend the zoning map to rename MX to MX-1 and rezone of all Historic Walker Lake to
MX-2.
Next steps: The second reading of the ordinances establishing the MX-2 district and the zoning
map amendments are scheduled for city council review on November 16, 2020. If approved, the
comprehensive plan amendments will be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for their
consideration. The zoning map amendments will be contingent upon the Metropolitan Council’s
acceptance of the comprehensive plan amendments.

MX – Mixed-Use. In the Mixed-Use land use designation, a mixing of uses is required for every
development parcel, including commercial. expected and non-residential uses are required on
the ground level of buildings along street frontages. The uses Uses allowed are include
commercial, office, residential, light industrial, civic, and parks/open space. The uses allowed
and the degree to which a mix of uses is required on a parcel varies by both the place type and
the zoning district. The goal of this designation is to create pedestrian-scale mixed-use areas,
typically with buildings having a portion of retail, service or other commercial uses on the
ground floor and residential or office uses on upper floors. Mixed use buildings typically have
approximately 75 to 85 percent of the building for residential use and 15 to 25 percent for
commercial, office, and other similar uses. Taller buildings may be appropriate in some areas
and net residential densities between 20 and 75 units per acre are allowed. The MX designation
is intended to facilitate a unique mixed-use town center atmosphere in places in Park
Commons, Historic Walker Lake, as well as other key community and neighborhood
commercial centers, commercial corridors, and neighborhood commercial nodes.

Historic Walker Lake
Historic Walker Lake Bounded by Louisiana Avenue to the west, Highway 7 to the south,
Wooddale Avenue to the east, and Library Lane/ St. Louis Park High School on the north, the
Historic Walker Lake District is the location of the original “Village Center” of historic St. Louis
Park.
Although the The remnants of St. Louis Park’s original commercial village center are visible in
the recently defined and branded Historic Walker Lake District as a unique mixed use area
surrounding the intersection of Lake and Walker Streets. , St. Louis Park no longer has its
original commercial center. In recent years the area has seen a renaissance with private and
public investment occurring throughout the district.
Since many of the buildings are old and changes in the use of tenant spaces continues, a
planning study of the area is underway was initiated in 2018 to identify potential improvements
and revitalization opportunities. to promote and guide reinvestment that preserves the
character and scale of the district. The resulting Historic Walker Lake Revitalization Plan, which
was approved by the city council in January 2020, recommends a broad mix of compatible uses
(businesses, schools, community center, library, recreation, and residential) be allowed
throughout the district, specifically commercial, office and light industrial uses on the ground
floor with residential uses allowed above. The plan also recommends significant parking
reductions be made to encourage reuse and occupancy of existing buildings.
In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Walker Street and Lake Street area was defined as a
Commercial Corridor and a potential redevelopment area. In the past two years, the city has
begun to view this area as a district that encompasses a broad mix of compatible uses

street parking requirements shall be established by the Zoning Administrator based upon the
characteristics and functional similarities between uses including, but not limited to: the size of
building, type of use, number of employees, expected volume and turnover of customer traffic,
and expected frequency and number of delivery or service vehicles. For structures containing
multiple uses, each shall be calculated separately. The requirements may be revised upward or
downward by the City Council as part of an application for a Conditional Use Permit or Planned
Unit Development based on verifiable information pertaining to parking.
(1) Required parking spaces must be located on the same lot as the principal use, unless shared
parking or off-site parking is approved for the use.
(2) The number provided for required parking spaces shall be the minimum requirement listed
in Table 36-361(a), except where otherwise noted. Parking space requirements are as
follows:

3. Public Hearings
A. Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district
for the Historic Walker Lake district.
Applicant: City of St. Louis Park
Case Nos: 20-19-CP; 20-20-ZA
Laura Chamberlain, consultant from HGKI presented the staff report. She gave a history
of the area, and the revitalization plan intended to revitalize and preserve the area. The
plan was accepted earlier this year with input from businesses and residents in the area.
The guidance includes parking, mix of uses, building form and public realm. With this
guidance the city prepared a new zoning district paired with design guidelines, used as
guidance vs. requirements, for the area. A comprehensive plan amendment is needed
for the new zoning district.
She explained the amendment in detail to the planning commission. She noted the
public outreach included a presentation to the Walker Lake Business Association, and a
virtual neighborhood meeting, with overall support.
Commissioner Beneke asked for review on the vertical mixed-use requirement. He
asked if both MX1 and MX2 mixed use areas can both have businesses. Ms. Monson
stated that non-residential uses are required on the ground floor for street facing
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a) Page 52
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake
facades in both districts. She explained that the MX1 district requires another use above
the ground floor use, but that MX2 does not.
Commissioner Beneke asked for a summary of the parking requirements. Ms. Monson
stated the parking requirements have already been approved by city council, and the
new requirements now require much less parking in the district, because of the
presence of ample public parking.
Commissioner Weber asked if there are any other development anticipated that might
fall into MX2 in the future. Ms. Monson stated there are none at this time, but could
easily expand if needed at a future time and be more specific to each area within the
city.
Chair Kraft opened the public hearing.
There were no callers on the line.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Beneke made a motion, Commissioner Dumalag seconded,
recommending all staff recommendations approving the comprehensive plan and
zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for the Historic Walker Lake
district.
The motion passed on a vote of 7-0.
Purpose
The purpose of the Historic Walker Lake Area Design Guidelines is to provide property owners
and developers additional guidance regarding redevelopment, infill, and new development
within the Historic Walker Lake Area in central St. Louis Park, covered by the MX-2 zoning
district.
•These guidelines are meant to be used alongside the standards established in Sec. 36-365
MX-2 Mixed Use district of the city code.
•They also further implement the guidance established within the Historic Walker Lake
District Revitalization Plan (2019).
•Finally, these guidelines are established to ensure infill, redevelopment, and enhancements
complement the area’s existing unique character while promoting a stronger sense of place
and increased investment.

1.Historic buildings should be replicated in form,
but not necessarily in design. This means
building form, such as height and setbacks,
should be similar, but design, such as materials
or window shapes, can be different and modern;
the architectural style is open.
»Infill buildings should replicate the form
and size of adjacent buildings, but can use
updated building design.
»Facades should replicate form features such
as spacing of entrances and transparency,
but design can be different.
»New buildings should not have “historic”
detailing just to match adjacent buildings.
2.Lighting and design should highlight the historic
features of older buildings while introducing
updated materials and uses.
3.Architecture and design should be used to create
street frontages that are visually interesting,
especially at a pedestrian scale.
Architecture and Design
74 May 2019HISTORIC WALKER LAKE: DISTRICT REVITALIZATION PLAN 75
Architectural DetailsThe Walker Lake District is home to historic buildings and newer buildings alike. Architectural details on new buildings should reflect the existing context in form and material, but use current building design. ideas The examples on this page show recommended renovated and new building design.
Infill:
This infill building replicated the
form and size of historic buildings,
but uses updated building design.
Infill:
These facades replicated
historic entrance spacing
and transparency but use
updated building design.
Architectural Details
Updated and traditional materials should be used.
Older building elements can be replicated in form,
but not in detail. This means building form, such
has height and setbacks, should be similar, but
details, such as materials or windows shapes, can
be different. The scale of the buildings should be
similar, but the architectural style is open.
Recommendations:
Details:
The infill building uses non-structural historic details poorly. New
buildings should not replicate historic buildings with non-structural
details.
Renovation:
The historic renovations
on these pages show how
light materials highlight
the historic features of
the older buildings while
introducing updated
materials and uses.

1.The primary entrance should be visually distinct
from the rest of the façade. This could be
accomplished through:
»Utilizing different materials or cap/canopy.
»Installing sidelight and transom windows
around entrances.
»Extending the articulation of the entrance to
the second floor.
»Recessing entrances to achieve articulation
and visual interest.
2.In order to design to a pedestrian scale, entrances
along primary frontages should be repeated at
least every 65 feet.
3.A majority of entrances on the primary frontage
should be close to the same elevation of the
sidewalk to provide ease of access to pedestrians.
Entrances
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a)
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Page 55
1.Horizontal articulation of new buildings is
encouraged. This can be accomplished through
the use of:
»Cornice »Molding
»Belt course »Other continuous
horizontal ornamentation
2.Vertical divisions are encouraged, especially on
the ground floor, to create visual interest. This
can be accomplished through the use of:
»Column »Other continuous vertical
ornamentation»Pilaster
3.Façade variety along primary and secondary
frontages is encouraged. Variety can be
accomplished through:
»Change in façade materials or colors
»Inclusion of courtyards along the façade
»Vertical recess or projection of walls
4.Design Elements to add further interest:
»Awnings on the façade of the ground floor.
▪These elements provide shelter and
shade for pedestrians.
▪Should have a clearance of at least ten
feet over any walkway.
»Balconies on upper floor façade.
▪These elements provide outdoor space
and upper story activation.
▪Should be at least four feet in depth.
»Shutters, when used, should complement the
windows they surround in scale, materials,
and placement.
Street Façade Articulation
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a)
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Page 56
1.If awnings are used or installed, they should
project over individual window and door
openings but should not extend between
window and door openings.
2.Awnings should be mounted on the frame of a
window or door opening rather than the wall
surrounding the opening.
3.Retractable, open-ended shed awnings, with
no side panels, are the preferred style. Shed
awnings are more traditional in appearance
than closed/box awnings and domed awnings,
which are usually not appropriate. Shed
awnings are more transparent, allow increased
views into storefront windows, don’t obscure
building architectural features, and are visually
lighter and simpler in appearance.
Awnings/Canopy
4.Awnings with a front valance or skirt, which
hangs down from the awning’s front edge, are the
preferred style. Awning signs should usually be
located on the front valance, so that the signage
is visible whether the awning is extended out or
retracted against the building’s façade.
5.Canvas, canvas blend, and acrylics that resemble
canvas are appropriate materials for awnings and
canopies; vinyl, metal, glass and shiny materials are
generally not appropriate.
6.Awnings/canopies should have a minimum
clearance height of eight (8) feet above the ground.
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a)
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Page 57
1.Architectural innovation is encouraged through
the use of both contemporary and traditional
materials.
2.Dominant façade should consist of high quality,
durable, finish materials. The following are
encouraged dominant facade materials:
»Stone »Cement-based stucco
»Brick »Architectural metal
panels»Glass
3.The color of materials should generally fit
within historic palettes from any major paint
manufacturer. Other colors may be utilized for
details and accents.
Materials
4.In addition to the dominant façade materials, the
following can be used as facade accents:
»Fiber cement trim pieces.
»Metal for beams, lintels, trim, and
ornamentation.
»Burnished, glazed, or honed concrete masonry
units (CMU) or block for trim and details, but
not surfaces.
»Split-face, honed, or glazed concrete masonry
units with minimal height for surfaces less
than 10 percent of the facade.
»Cast stone concrete elements.

Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Page 58
1.A projecting sign is the preferred style; wall signs
are also appropriate but should be oriented to
pedestrians in scale and design.
2.Projecting and wall signs should be placed
and sized so that they do not obscure building
architectural features and fit the scale of the
building facade.
3.The style, colors, and materials of projecting and
wall signs should be complementary with the
character of the building and other signage.
4.Where feasible, projecting and wall signs should
be placed to align with other signs on that
building and other buildings on the same block
face.
5.Projecting signs should usually be mounted near
the storefront entrance, just above the door, or
just to the side of it.
6.Projecting signs should generally be oriented to
visibility by pedestrians and placed so that they
do not obscure other signs, both projecting and
wall signs.
7.Projecting signs intended for visibility by
automobile traffic should be mounted higher on
the building façade or positioned at the building
corner.
8.If a storefront has awnings, the projecting sign
should be placed above the awnings.
9.Projecting signs should have a minimum
clearance height of eight (8) feet above the
ground.
Signs
City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a)
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Page 59
1.Accent lighting should be limited to indirect
lighting of specific signage, architectural and
landscape features only; lighting should not
exhibit or advertise the building itself.
2.Signs, including wall, projecting, awning and
window, should not be internally illuminated.
3.Signage lighting should be provided by an
external light source that is directed at the sign.
4.Signage lighting fixtures should be relatively
simple and unobtrusive in appearance and size
and should not obscure visibility of the sign.
5.External lighting sources should be shielded so
that the light source is not visible by pedestrians.
Lighting

1.Yards and open spaces should provide an
opportunity for outdoor “active” areas.
2.Seating, shade, art, and events are encouraged
within open spaces, especially along the street
frontage.
3.Cafe seating and open transitions from indoor
uses are also encouraged.
4.Site design should prioritize pedestrians, transit
users, and bicyclists and creating pleasant open
spaces for those users to gather and move
through.
5.Non-conventional gathering spots, such as
former loading areas and unused alleyways are
encouraged to be activated as open spaces.
6.These areas are also encouraged for temporary
activation, such as food-truck festivals or other
local events

City council meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 8a)
Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Page 62
Meeting: City council
Meeting date: November 2, 2020
Action agenda item: 8b
Executive summary
Title: Notice of eviction
Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of Ordinance to amend the city code by
adding section 8-337 requiring rental property owners to provide seven days written notice to
tenants prior to initiating an eviction action for non-payment of rent or other financial
obligations and set the second reading for Nov. 16, 2020.
Policy consideration: Does the council support the tenant protection policy as proposed requiring
owners to provide a seven-day notice to tenants prior to initiating an eviction action for
nonpayment of rent or other financial obligation in violation of the lease?
Summary: Adoption of a notice of eviction ordinance would require rental property
owners/managers to provide a notice to tenants prior to initiating an eviction action for
nonpayment of rent or other financial obligations. The notice is meant to ensure that tenants
are informed and aware of the consequences of unresolved financial obligations to the
property owner that are in violation of the lease. The policy was first reviewed with council at
the March 25, 2019 study session and again at the October 28, 2019 study session. At the
January 27, 2020 study session staff recommended that the proposed notice period be reduced
from 14 days to 7 days based on the input received from the rental owners and managers as
part of a public outreach process that was conducted. At the same time, the council was
considering implementation of the notice policy, a bill was introduced at the 2020 state
legislative session that would implement a similar notice requirement. Further action on the
local policy was deferred to allow the legislature to consider the bill.
The legislature did not to take action on the bill at the state level; therefore, the council
revisited the policy at the September 29, 2020 study session. Following council discussion, staff
was directed to work with the city’s legal counsel to draft an ordinance reflecting a seven-day
notice requirement for council’s consideration at a future meeting.
Financial or budget considerations: Implementation and ongoing management and monitoring
of this policy will require additional city staff time, as well as direct costs related to educating
rental property owners of the new requirement.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Title: Notice of eviction
Discussion
Background: In 2019 and early 2020, council discussed adopting a local policy that would
require a notice be provided to tenants prior to initiating an eviction action for non-payment of
rent or any unpaid financial obligation in violation of the lease. The notice is meant to ensure
that residents are informed and aware of the consequences of unresolved financial obligations
to the property owner that are in violation of the lease. Since the policy was similar to a bill
presented for consideration at the at 2020 state legislative session, the council deferred further
action on a local ordinance pending the outcome at the legislature. The 2020 legislature did
not act on the bill and the local policy was reintroduced for council consideration at the
September 29, 2020 study session. The policy being proposed is as follows:
Notice of eviction policy/St. Louis Park: Before bringing an eviction action alleging a material
breach of the lease for nonpayment of rent or other unpaid financial obligations, a property
owner must provide written notice to the residential tenant. The written notice would specify
the allegations of non-payment of rent or other unpaid financial obligations and must state the
total amount due along with specific accounting of the total amount. The notice must be
delivered personally, mailed to the residential tenant at the address of the leased premises, or
by email to the residential tenant at the residential tenant’s email address on file with the
owner. If the alleged rent delinquency or other financial obligation breach of the lease is not
corrected within seven days of the delivery or mailing of the notice, the property owner may
proceed with filing a complaint based on any allegations in the notice.
Summary of public input comments: 84 comments were received from the public on the
proposed Notice of Eviction policy. The on-line comments are available in their entirety in the
January 27, 2020 study session report.
At the September 29, 2020 study session, there was a council inquiry as to why Minneapolis did
not include a similar policy requiring a notice prior to eviction along with other tenant
protection policies the city recently enacted. Minneapolis staff indicated the decision not to
implement a similar notice requirement policy at this time was based on a need to prioritize
their efforts and a decision to defer as the bill requiring a notice prior to eviction was being
considered at the state legislature.
Next steps: The next step in the revision of the of the ordinance is the second reading and
adoption of the ordinance scheduled for the November 16, 2020 council meeting.
This ordinance shall take effect January 1, 2021.

from last year or remain the same. Ms. Lammers confirmed that funds would be
directed to the affordable housing trust fund as they had been last year.
Mr. Harmening stated wages for the housing authority staff come from the housing re-
staff fund and were $200,000 for 2020. He noted the actual deposit will go up by
$500,000 for housing, and staff would do this as directed last year.
Commissioner Brausen asked if the HRA levy is adopted this evening, will it just set the
levy level and if budget discussions would continue. He noted monies will be going to
the housing programs as directed in the amount pledged by council and wanted to
confirm this. Mr. Harmening stated this is correct, adding that state statute limits and
restricts what these monies can be used for, but they can be used for affordable
housing.
Commissioner Kraft asked for examples of items that the affordable housing trust fund
has been used for lately. Mr. Harmening stated the fund and its policies were created in
2020, so the monies have not been used yet, adding by the end of 2020, there should be
approximately $1.2 million in the fund.
Commissioner Harris asked what types of projects the fund can be used for, and if it is a
worthwhile future study session topic. Mr. Harmening stated council has set the rules
and procedures of how to use the funds for affordable housing and added this can be on
a future study session agenda to discuss identifying projects.
Commissioner Rog stated she has also asked for a study session agenda item on helping
BIPOC community members afford purchasing housing.
Commissioner Harris also noted a resident proposed this be conducted similar to the
Work in the Park program.
Commissioner Brausen added rental assistance as it related to the eviction moratorium
would also be another topic for discussion.
Commissioner Mavity noted the creation of an affordable housing trust fund in St. Louis
Park has been a new approach, adding it is exciting dedicating these funds here. She
stated she is very proud of the council for this and noted a good time to prioritize these
topics is when the city’s housing report comes out in March.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Mavity, to waive the

Executive summary
Title: SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station park and ride Construction Agreement with Met Council
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA Resolution approving the Cooperative Construction
Agreement with the Metropolitan Council for the SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station park and ride.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA approve of the proposed Cooperative Construction
Agreement with the Metropolitan Council for the SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station park and ride?
Summary: In November 2014, the city applied for a Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) grant for a structured parking ramp to be located
immediately north of the SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station platform in lieu of a parking lot. The EDA
was subsequently awarded $6.4 million through the CMAQ program that is regionally
administered by the Metropolitan Council. The city and EDA have a Preliminary Development
Agreement with Beltline Development LLC (Sherman Associates) to redevelop the 6.6-acre
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) site at the southeast quadrant of CSAH 25 and Beltline
Blvd where the proposed 362-stall ramp will be constructed.
On October 21, 2019, the EDA approved a Subrecipient Agreement with the Metropolitan
Council which specified the terms under which the CMAQ funds would be disbursed to the EDA.
Now the EDA is asked to take the next step in the process which is to enter into a Cooperative
Construction Agreement with the Metropolitan Council. Under the proposed Agreement, the
EDA commits to constructing a multi-level parking structure on the 4725 Highway 7 property by
approximately September 30, 2023. The parking facility is to provide 268 public park and ride
stalls and is to be constructed in compliance with specified federal requirements. An additional
94 parking stalls may be included in the park and ride structure to serve the larger mixed-use,
transit-oriented development on the site and would be funded locally outside of the CMAQ
grant. Next year, the EDA will be asked to enter into a Purchase and Redevelopment Contract
with Beltline Development under which the Redeveloper agrees to construct, operate, and
maintain the ramp on behalf of the EDA. Such an agreement would require consent of the
Metropolitan Council. The EDA’s legal counsel has reviewed the proposed Construction
Agreement and recommends its approval.
Financial or budget considerations: Under the Agreement, the total cost of the SWLRT Beltline
Blvd Station park and ride is at least $8,066,318 (with actual costs expected to exceed that
amount). The CMAQ grant award is $6,453,054 and the EDA is required to provide a 20% local
match of at least $1,613,264. It is anticipated that the matching funds would be derived from
the Development Fund, developer funds (associated with the TOD) or G.O. tax increment bonds
(or some combination thereof) with reimbursement from the future Beltline TIF district.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Title: SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station park and ride Construction Agreement with Met Council
Discussion
Background: On November 17, 2014, the council approved a resolution authorizing submittal of
a federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) grant for a structured parking ramp to be
located immediately north of the SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station platform in lieu of a parking lot.
The EDA was subsequently awarded $6.4 million through the Federal Transit Administration’s
(FTA) CMAQ program that is regionally administered by the Metropolitan Council. On October
21, 2019, the EDA approved a Subrecipient Agreement with the Metropolitan Council which
specified the terms under which the CMAQ grant funds would be disbursed to the EDA. Now
the EDA is asked to take the next step in the process which is to enter into a Cooperative
Construction Agreement with the Metropolitan Council.
Present considerations: The following is a summary of the proposed Cooperative Construction
Agreement between the EDA and the Metropolitan Council (“Met Council”) as negotiated by
the parties and approved by the Met Council (the “Agreement”).
I.Background - Recitals.
A.Proposed Project: The “Project” consists of an extension to the METRO Green Line
light rail transit line from downtown Minneapolis through the southwest suburbs,
including St. Louis Park, and the project scope includes a 268-stall park and ride facility
(originally proposed as a surface parking lot) serving the SWLRT Beltline Boulevard
station.
B.CMAQ Grant. The EDA is currently negotiating with Beltline Development LLC
(Sherman Associates and the “Redeveloper”) to develop a mixed-use development
adjacent to the SWLRT Beltline Boulevard station. This would include a multi-level,
362-stall parking structure serving the entire development (the “Ramp”) and would
incorporate the stalls required for the park and ride facility. The EDA applied for a
federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Grant (“CMAQ Grant”) that is regionally
administered through the Met Council to pay a portion of the costs of construction of
the Ramp. The Met Council received the CMAQ Grant and negotiated a Subrecipient
Agreement with the EDA in late 2019, providing the terms under which the Met
Council will administer the grant funds to the EDA.
C.Cooperative Construction Agreement. In order to memorialize the terms and
conditions of the EDA’s construction of the Ramp, including the required design
specifications, the parties have negotiated the terms and conditions provided within
the Agreement.
II.Terms of Construction. The Agreement includes the following terms and conditions of
construction of the Ramp:
•The EDA will provide plans and specifications for approval by the Met Council.
•Plans and specifications will provide for 268 parking stalls for the Met Council park
and ride use and will comply with County and Met Council design requirements, as
well as other requirements outlined in the Agreement.
Economic development authority meeting of November 2, 2020 (Item No. 4b) Page 3
Title: SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station park and ride Construction Agreement with Met Council
•If the Met Council determines that the Ramp will not be operational by three
months prior to the SWLRT Service Date (currently expected to be December
2023), the EDA will construct a surface parking lot complying with County and Met
Council design requirements.
•The Met Council’s design approval is limited to the scope required for the park and
ride portion of the Ramp.
•The EDA will be responsible for construction oversight; the Met Council will have
the right to review and inspect the park and ride portion of the Ramp for
compliance with all applicable documents.
•The Met Council will provide written acknowledgement of substantial completion
and acceptance within ten days after final inspection.
III.Other Provisions (not a complete list)
•The Met Council will contribute a portion of the cost of construction of the Ramp in the
amount of $2,500,000 within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from the EDA, which
invoice must be submitted following acceptance by the Met Council of the Ramp.
•After completion of construction, the Ramp will be subdivided into a Met Council tax
parcel and an EDA development project parcel, and the Met Council will redefine its
transportation easement such that it encompasses only the Met Council tax parcel.
•The parties will enter into a mutually acceptable operations and maintenance
agreement in connection with ongoing maintenance of the Ramp (or surface lot, if
applicable).
•The EDA may not assign the Agreement to any third party without the Met Council’s
consent, but the EDA’s selection of the Redeveloper as its designated contractor for
construction of the Ramp is considered approved by the Met Council.
The EDA’s legal counsel has reviewed the proposed Cooperative Construction Agreement and
recommends its approval.
Next steps: In 2021, the EDA will be asked to enter into a Purchase and Redevelopment
Contract with Beltline Development LLC (Sherman Associates) under which the Redeveloper
agrees to construct, operate and maintain the park and ride facility on behalf of the EDA. Such
an agreement would require consent of the Met Council.

the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority and
the Metropolitan Council
Whereas, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) is currently
administering its Redevelopment Project No. 1 ("Project") pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.001 to 469.047 ("HRA Act"), and is pursuing the establishment of a tax increment
financing district within the Project to finance a portion of the costs of expected mixed-use

Whereas, the Authority, the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”), and Beltline Development
LLC (“Redeveloper”) have entered into a Preliminary Development Agreement dated as of
February 5, 2018, as amended, memorializing the parties’ preliminary agreements as to the
conveyance and redevelopment of certain Authority-owned property adjacent to the SWLRT
Beltline Station (the “Development”), as well as the redevelopment of certain other property
owned by the Redeveloper (the “Property”), in relevant part for the construction of a structured
parking facility (the “Ramp”) in which 268 parking stalls will be reserved for SWLRT park and ride
users, and 94 parking stalls will be for the use of other users of the Development; and
Whereas, the City previously submitted a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (“CMAQ”)
grant application to the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”) to finance a portion of the costs of
construction of the Ramp, and FTA awarded a CMAQ grant in the amount of $6,453,054 (the
“Grant”) to be administered by the Metropolitan Council (“Met Council”) for the benefit of the
Authority as subrecipient of the Grant, and on October 21, 2019, the Authority adopted a
resolution approving a Subrecipient Agreement providing for disbursement of the Grant funds;

Title: Hennepin County TOD grant resolution of support for Union Park Flats and Parkway
Residences
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA Resolution for Union Park Flats’ and Parkway
Residences’ Hennepin County Transit Oriented Development (TOD) grant applications.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support applications for Hennepin County TOD grants to
facilitate the Union Park Flats and Parkway Residences redevelopment projects?
Summary: In August, Hennepin County opened applications for its TOD grant program to
support mixed-use, housing, and commercial redevelopment projects that increase transit
usage. Two redevelopment projects in St. Louis Park, Union Park Flats and Parkway Residences,
applied to this program to defray some of the public improvement costs associated with each.
Project for Pride in Living (PPL) received approvals from the city council on July 6, 2020 for
Union Park Flats to construct a three story, 60-unit apartment building that is 100% affordable
to households between 30% to 80% AMI. PPL requested $450,000 in the Hennepin County TOD
grant funds for site prep, solar, stormwater, and bike facilities.
Sela Investments received approvals for Parkway Residences, in February 2020. The
development includes four new multifamily buildings with 211 units and the rehabilitation of 24
units in three existing apartment buildings. Sela requested $370,000 in Hennepin County TOD
grant funds for public infrastructure, landscaping and stormwater.
Along with each application, Hennepin County requests that cities provide a resolution
indicating that they support the submission of the TOD grant application.
Financial or budget considerations: This grant program does not require any financial match
from the city. The developers for Union Park Flats and Parkway Residences are the grant
applicants, and should funds be awarded, each applicant would work directly with Hennepin
County to administer the grant.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Title: Acquisition of 6211 Cedar Lake Road
Recommended action: Motion to authorize the of acquisition of the property at 6211 Cedar
Lake Road.
Policy consideration: Does the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (EDA) wish to
acquire the property at 6211 Cedar Lake Road to facilitate a permanent access to the city’s
outdoor storage/residential brush drop-off facility?
Summary: The city was approached earlier this year by representatives of the owner of 6211
Cedar Lake Road inquiring as to the city’s interest in purchasing the property. The city currently
owns several parcels of land surrounding this property, including the city’s outdoor
storage/residential brush drop-off facility. At present, the city leases access to the outdoor
storage facility from the Soo Line railroad. This is an annual lease with no long-term guarantee.
Acquisition of 6211 Cedar Lake Road would provide for a permanent access to the city’s
property.
Financial or budget considerations: The purchase price of the property is $300,000 which
would be paid from the EDA’s Development Fund. Funding for strategic acquisitions was
provided for in the city’s 2020 budget. The operations and recreation department is currently
leasing access across the Soo Line Railroad property for $10,000 annually.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Acquisition of 6211 Cedar Lake Road
Discussion
Background: Earlier this year, representatives of the owner of 6211 Cedar Lake Road
approached the city inquiring as to the city’s interest in purchasing the property. Acquisition of
the property would provide for permanent access to the city’s outdoor storage/residential
brush drop-off facility located at 2501 Edgewood Ave S. At present, the operations and
recreation department leases access to the outdoor storage facility across the Soo Line Railroad
property, as there is no direct access to that property from Cedar Lake Road. The city-owned
parcels, with the exception of the outdoor storage area, are predominantly wetland and as
such, impractical to establish access across.
The operations and recreation department is the primary user of the outdoor storage facility
for storage of mulch, tree debris, and project fill material. However, the facility is also routinely
accessed by contractors for temporary storage of brush and other landscaping debris, and
regularly by residents to drop off brush and pick up mulch. Operations and recreation staff
support the acquisition of 6211 Cedar Lake Road to provide a permanent access to the outdoor
storage facility.
Present considerations: The subject property is currently occupied by a vacant, single-family
house. In order to establish access to the city’s outdoor storage/residential brush drop-off
facility, the house will have to be removed. Staff will pursue options including having the house
moved to another location, deconstruction/recycling, and/or demolition, as necessary.
Next steps: If the acquisition is approved, closing will occur on or before Dec. 31, 2020.

Title: Grant applications for cleanup on behalf of Sela Investments for Parkway Residences Phase II
Recommended action:
•Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application to the
Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) Contamination Clean-up
Grant Program on behalf of Parkway Residences.
•Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application to the
Hennepin of the County Environmental Response Fund Program on behalf Parkway Residences.
•Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application to the
Metropolitan Council Tax Base Revitalization Account for Parkway Residences.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support submitting grant applications on behalf of Sela
Investments to assist in environmental cleanup of the Parkway Residences Phase II?
Summary: Sela Investments received PUD ordinance approvals Feb. 3, 2020 for Parkway
Residences. The multi-phase development includes four new multifamily buildings with 211
units and rehab of three existing apartment buildings with 24 units, for a total of 235 units. Sela
began construction in July on Phase I, a 95-unit apartment building. Upon conducting due
diligence on the subsequent phases, soil contamination was discovered on two sites including:
the six-unit, townhome style multi-family building at 3917 & 3921 west 31st Street and the 37-
unit multi-family building at 4105, 4117 and 4125 West 31st Street (see site plan for locations).
Contaminants include benzene, arsenic and PAHs, as well as buried debris in soil. To assist with
cleanup costs, the developer is requesting the EDA apply on their behalf for approximately
$450,000 in clean up grants from the Hennepin County, Metropolitan Council and DEED.
Grants for cleanup are awarded semi-annually. These grant applications are due Nov. 2, 2020.
Each grant requires a resolution from the governing body of the city where the project site is
located indicating that it supports the application. An authorizing resolution for each application
is attached.
Financial or budget considerations: The EDA is the designated applicant for each grant but has
no financial obligations other than to serve as the conduit for the grant funds. The DEED grants
require 25 percent of the project cost to be a local match. Of this local match, the applicant must
pay 12 percent of the cleanup costs from unrestricted money available to the municipality. This
12 percent cannot include funds from other grant sources. The Developer has agreed to pay this
cost. No funds are being requested from the EDA in connection with these grant applications.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.

Title: Grant application on behalf of Sherman Associates for Beltline Boulevard Station Site
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant
application to the Metropolitan Council Tax Base Revitalization Account for a contamination
investigation for the Beltline Boulevard Station Site.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support submitting a grant application on behalf of Sherman
Associates to assist in environmental investigation of the Beltline Boulevard Station Site?
Summary: In February 2018, the EDA entered into an agreement with Sherman Associates to
develop a mixed-use, transit-oriented development at the Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT)
Beltline Boulevard Station Site. The development is proposed to include two apartment
buildings, one mixed-use building with retail space, and a joint use park-and-ride parking
structure for the SWLRT with some commercial space on the first floor adjacent to the station.
Staff is currently working with the developer on predevelopment planning.
Investigation grants are utilized to determine the scope and severity of any suspected
contamination and, if contamination is found, to develop a cleanup plan for a proposed
redevelopment project. Sherman is requesting funds to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment {ESA}, prepare a work plan, conduct a Limited Phase II ESA, and prepare a Response
Action Plan for the redevelopment project. To assist with investigation costs, the developer is
requesting the EDA apply on its behalf for approximately $46,000 in grant funding.
Grants for investigation are awarded semi-annually. These grant applications are due Nov. 2,
2020 and require a resolution from the governing body of the city where the project site is
located indicating that it supports the application. An authorizing resolution is attached.
Financial or budget considerations: The EDA is the designated applicant for this grant but has
no financial obligations other than to serve as the conduit for the grant funds. The grant
requires 25 percent of the estimated investigation costs to be a local match. The developer has
agreed to pay this cost. No funds are being requested from the EDA in connection with these
grant applications.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.
