Executive summary
Title: Resolution appointing councilmembers to the office of mayor pro tem for 2022
Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution appointing councilmembers to the office of
mayor pro tem for the 2022 calendar year.
Policy consideration: Is this action consistent with city council practices and procedures?
Summary: Minnesota State Statute section 412.121 states that at the first meeting held each
year the council shall appoint the councilmembers who will serve as mayor pro tem to perform
the duties of the mayor during disability or absence, or, in the case of a vacancy in the office of
mayor, until a successor has been appointed or elected.
In 2014 the council approved amendments to “Council Rules and Procedures” relating to the
appointment of the mayor pro tem. Resolution No. 14-034 states, “councilmembers appointed
as mayor pro tem will serve a four-month term beginning in January of each year, with the
appointments made on a rotating basis based upon seniority. For councilmembers elected at
the same time, seniority is based on alphabetical order of last name. All councilmembers willing
to serve as mayor pro tem shall be appointed to a term before the rotation starts again with the
most senior member. In the absence of the mayor and mayor pro tem, the most senior available
councilmember will serve as “acting mayor pro tem”.
Proposed mayor pro tem rotation for 2022

Resolution appointing councilmembers to
the office of m ayor pro tem for the year 2022
Whereas, Minnesota State Statute Section 412.121 requires cities to choose each year
an acting mayor from the council members; and
Whereas, St. Louis Park Home Rule Ch arter Section 2.06 states the acting mayor (mayor
pro tem) shall perform the duties of mayor in case of the mayor’s disability, absence from the
city, or in case of vacancy in the office of mayor until a successor is appointed and qualified; and
Whereas, councilmembers appointed as mayor pro tem serve a four-month term
beginning in January of each year, with the appointments made on a rotating basis based upon
seniority, or for councilmembers elected at the same time, seniority is based on alphabetical
order of last name; and
Whereas, in the absence of the mayor and mayor pro tem, the most senior available
councilmember will serve as acting mayor pro tem, and if a councilmember is unable to or
chooses not to complete their term as mayor pro tem, the next councilmember in the rotation
will complete the term and continue to serve their term as scheduled; and
Whereas, the council has carefully reviewed the qualifications of all members and has
considered the desires of the residents and the welfare of the city as a whole,
Now therefore be it resolved by the St. Louis Park City Council that the following
councilmembers are hereby appointed to the position of mayor pro tem of the City of St. Louis
Park and shall serve in that capacity until duly elected successors are appointed by the city council:

Executive summary
Title: Designating 2022 official newspaper
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution designating the St. Louis Park Sun-Sailor as
the city’s official newspaper for 2022.
Policy consideration: Does the St. Louis Park Sun-Sailor meet the requirements to be
designated as the city’s official newspaper for calendar year 2022?
Summary: MS 331A.02 and charter section 3.07 require th at a legal newspaper of general
circulation be designated for publication of the city’s official proceedings and notices and such
other matters and measures as are required by law and city charter.
Sun-Sailor has become the primary source of community news in the suburbs. Copies of the
newspaper can be picked up free of charge at city hall, the Rec Center, the library, and various
other locations throughout the city. Content can also be accessed via their website and
residents have the option to subscribe for home delivery.
Basis of recommendation:
1. The paper is easily accessible via the internet, thereby providing citywide coverage of
legal notices and other city government issues to residents.
2. The paper has served well as the official newspaper for many years.
3. The paper has expressed a desire to continue to provide this service.
4. All legal notices are posted on Sun-Sailor’s website at no additional charge.
5. Notarized affidavits of each publication are provided at no additional charge.
Financial or budget considerations: Annually this service costs around $15,000 and St. Louis
Park Sun-Sailor has not proposed an increase in rates in the calendar year 2022.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: 2022 city council meeting dates
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution declaring 2022 city council meeting dates.
Policy consideration: The St. Louis Park City Council Rules and Procedures require city council
to set and approve meeting dates each year.
Summary: The city council's policy is to not meet on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day,
President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Christmas Day,
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. For New Year's Day,
Christmas Day, and Yom Kippur, this includes the evening before the observance. For Rosh
Hashanah and Passover, this includes the evening before the observance and the first and
second evenings of the observance. For Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha the date varies annually and
includes the evening before.
Regular meetings will be held on the first and third Mondays of each month at 6:30 p.m. Study
sessions will be held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 6:30 p.m. A schedule
of all regular meetings and recognized holidays will be kept on file at city hall. Meetings can be
canceled or rescheduled at any time, provided council meets at least once per month.
Current policy states that when the meeting date falls on a holiday, the meeting will be
scheduled on the next succeeding day that is not a holiday, unless another day has been
designated in advance. If the Tuesday is also a holiday, the meeting is moved to the same hour
on the next succeeding Monday that is not a holiday. Council also has the discretion to move
the meeting to the Wednesday following the first two evenings of each holiday observance if
deemed necessary.

Title: Bid tabulation - award contract to iDeal Energies to install solar panels on The Rec Center east arena roof
Discussion
Background: Within the city’s emissions profile, buildings and lighting make up 56% of
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy used to
power this facility is crucial if the city is to meet its Climate Action Plan goals.
Staff hired a consultant to complete design and engineering plans to prepare for bids for the
installation of a solar photovoltaic array on the 22,575 square foot roof above the east arena of
The Rec Center. Council approved the final plans and specifications authorizing bidding
documents at their October 4, 2021 council meeting.
An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor on November 4, 11 and
18, 2021, and in Finance and Commerce from November 4 through 11, 2021. Final printed plans
were available for viewing at City Hall and The Rec Center. In addition, plans and specifications
were made available electronically via the internet on the QuestCDN site .
Twe lve contractors/vendors obtained plan sets, including three (3) Disadvantage Business
Enterprise s (DBE).
Project scope : In 2020, the city hired Sundial Energy to complete design and engineering plans
to prepare for bids for the installation of a 264-kilowatt solar photovoltaic array on the 22,575
square foot roof above the east arena of The Rec Center.
This single solar installation will be the largest city installation to date and will nearly double the
city’s rooftop solar capacity, from 291 kW to 555 kW across four facilities. The array would be
capable of producing 345.59 megawatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to offset
approximately 12% of the annual energy load of the building and saving approximately $27,000
per year in electricity costs (plus an additional savings of approximately $2,700 paid to Xcel
Energy as a premium for Windsource). At a capital installation cost of $395,500, giving the
project has a simple payback of 13.3 years.
Financial considerations: This project is currently in the proposed Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) budget for the facilities division for 2022.
Schedule and next steps: Exe cuting this contract will enable adequate lead time to order
materials and complete Xcel Energy applications. Construction will begin in spring 2022
(weather dependent). Work is planned during this time to allow as many of the normal
operations to The Rec Center to occur as possible.

Recommended action: Motion to authorize execution of a contract with Kimley -Horn , in the
amount of $380,614 to provide community engagement and preliminary layout (30% plans) for
the Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue improvement projects (4023-1100 and 4024-1100).
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to enter into a professional services contract
with Kimley -Horn to complete this pavement management project?
Summary: Staff is preparing for the 2023 construction of Cedar Lake Road (between Highway
169 and Nevada Avenue) and the 2024 construction of Louisiana Avenue improvements
(between Wayzata Boulevard and the bridge over the BNSF railroad located just south of Cedar
Lake Road). See attached map. These projects will be combined into one public engagement
initiative and preliminary design process because they are part of a connected system.
A consultant is needed to complete this project as it requires additional technical resources. A

Title: Approve consultant contract Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue improvement projects
Discussion
Background : Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue are proposed to be improved in 2023 and
2024, respectively. In 2023, Cedar Lake Road is expected to be upgraded between Highway 169
and Nevada Avenue. In 2024, Louisiana Avenue will be improved between Wayzata Boulevard
and the BNSF railroad bridge located just south of Cedar Lake Road. The 2024 proj ect also
includes Cedar Lake Road between Nevada Avenue and Kentucky Avenue (see attached project
map). The projects will be combined into one public engagement initiative and preliminary
design process because they are part of a connected system.
Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue are important corridors in our community. These are
Municipal State Aid (MSA) roads which are eligible for state gas tax dollars to help pay for
improvement projects. Due to limited availability of these funds, th e primary funding source for
these projects is general obligation bonds. The costs for these projects will have impacts to
future levies. A summary of the CIP project scope and funding was provided to council in a
report on Sept. 13, 2021. To qualify for MSA funding in the future, the roads will be constructed
to state aid standards.
Community engagement is important for the city to plan for the future of these corridors. Staff
will work with the consultant and their community engagement specialist to develop a
community engagement plan and communications plan. The comments and suggestions
provided by residents and business owners will help inform the design of each corridor.
Project scope : Cedar Lake Road will be improved in 2023, followed by Louisiana Avenue in 2024.
The following items are included in the overall project scope.
• New pavement
• Accommodations for bicycle s
• Filling in gaps in the sidewalk network
• Enhancements for people walking and rolling, including curb extensions, raised medians,
enhanced crosswalks and upgrades to ensure ADA compliance
• Intersection improvements
• Repair/replace sanitary sewer, storm sewer and watermain as needed
Present consideration: Staff is recommending approval of this professional services contract
which covers community engagement and the development of preliminary layout (30% plans).
In the future , an amendment to this contract will be needed to de liver final plans, bid
documents and construction administration.
Staff is see king input from the community to design the se corridors. Through the community
engagement process, the options will be narrowed down so that city council can approve a
preliminary layout prio r to proceeding in to final design. When the preliminary layout has been
approved, the consultant will be able to give an accurate proposal for final design and
construction administration services.
A request for proposal (RFP) was sent to Kimley -Horn, Bolton & Menk, Inc. and Alliant
Engineering. The table below summarizes the cost submitted with each proposal.

Title: Final payment resolution – 2020 Pavement Management Project (Area 8) – (4020 -1000)
Discussion
Background: Annually, the city rehabilitates several miles of local residential streets as part of
the pavement management program. The 2020 project was located on the east side of the Fern
Hill neighborhood. The work included street rehabilitation , which consisted of removing and
replacing the existing bituminous pavement and replacing portions of concrete curb and gutter
where needed. Other work included sidewalk repairs, sewer repairs and select watermain
replacement within the neighborhood. In addition to the street rehabilitation activities, the
construction of new sidewalk segments was integrated into the project for cost savings,
reduction in customer inconvenience, and contractor coordination.
On March 16, 2020, the city council awarded a contract in the amount of $4,530,726.89 to GMH
Asphalt Corporation for the 2020 Pavement Management Project. The final contract amount
($4,966,717.01) was 9.62% more than the contract amount. There were change orders approved
on the project along with quantity overruns during construction that led to the increased costs.
During construction, some unexpected items came up that added to the cost of the project.
The additional work that added to the contract increased the cost of the project by
$275,829.79. In addition, the project included quantity overruns resulting in a cost increase of
$160,160.33. This additional work was necessary to ensure quality street, sidewalk, and utility
infrastructure for years to come.
Most of the contract changes are attributed to the decision to rebuild the subgrade on two
streets (Monterey and Lynn avenues) that was exposed to excess amount of precipitation
during watermain construction. The amount of precipitation, along with the subpar subgrade
material, resulted in a subgrade moisture content that was unsuitable to maintain access during
construction or support the new street. Throughout construction, the se roads were muddy and
at times impassible, resulting in resident and emergency vehicle access concerns . Due to the
frequency of rainfall, the material did not have adequate time to dry. To address these access
concerns and to keep the project on schedule, we removed the unsuitable subgrade material
and rebuilt the subgrade with geotextile fabric and 3-inch recycle d aggregate. The depth of
subgrade material removed varied depending on the condition of the existing materials. Th is
created a solid subgrade that held up to future rain events and created a good base for the new
street structure. The cost for the se subgrade corrections was $268,445.08. The remaining
contract changes resulted in minor cost increas es to the project budget.
The quantity overruns on this project can be attributed to the following quantities:
•Subgrade excavation: Due to the decision to rebuild the unsuitable subgrade explained
above, there was additional subgrade excavation over what was planned in the contract.
The additional cost due to this overrun on the subgrade quantity was $42,000. As stated
above , the additional cost was necessary to ensure a quality street structure.
•Storm and sanitary manhole replacement: During construction, it was discovered that
additional storm and sanitary manholes were in poor condition and needed to be
replaced. This overrun was necessary to ensure our storm and sanitary network is in
great condition and will not undermine the street in the future. City staff plans to make
changes to the way utility structures are inspected before construction to ensure these
costs are determined ahead of the project being awarded. The additional cost due to
overrun on this quantity is $117,000.

Change orders/ extra work +$ 3,000.00
Final contract cost $ 351,900.00
Previous payments -$ 285,000.00

Title: Final payment resolution – Booster Station at Water Treatment Plant #8 – Project No. 5321-5004
Discussion
Background: An area near Water Treatment Plant (WTP) #8 experienced low pressure and
inadequate fire flows to hydrants. After evaluating the options, the city decided to install a
booster station near WTP #8. This booster station contains pumps that increase the water
pressure in the system, ensuring that this area has adequate water pressure for our customers
and emergency services.
On Fe b. 16, 2021, the city council awarded a contract in the amount of $348,900.00 to
Northdale Construction Company for the Booster Station at Water Treatment Plant #8, project
5321-5004.
The final contract amount for this project, $351,900.00, is $3,000.00 (0.09%) more than the
contract amount awarded. The contract increase is attributed to adding an air bleed line to the
smaller pumps that terminate inside the wellhouse wall.
The additional work was necessary to ensure reliable water delivery within the community and
continue to meet the basic needs of our citizens.
Financial or budget considerations: The final cost of the work performed by the contractor
under Contract No. 27-21 has been calculated as follows:
Original contract (based on estimated quantities) $ 348,900.00
Change Orders/ extra work +$ 3,000.00
Final contract cost $ 351,900.00
Previous payments -$ 285,000.00
Balance due $ 66,900.00
This project was included in the city’s capital improvement plan (CIP). The work was paid for
using water utility funds.
Due to the nature of our construction projects, unforeseen circumstances, and resident
feedback, it is not unusual to have additional work added to our projects. To address this, when
the bid was awarded, we assumed a 10% contingency for all aspects of the project. The costs
detailed above represent a 0.09% increase to this project. This is within the planned
contingency and there are adequate funds to cover these costs.

agreement for the police mental he alth program?
Summary: The current cooperative agreement with Hennepin County Human Services provides
the police department with an embedde d licensed social worker to assist with the

asset to the de partment’s response to mental health calls, and we are expanding the role from
a shared position with the Hopkins Police Department to a full-time position with both
departments. The move to full-time positions creates the need for a contract amendment that
w ill allow for a s hared p osition until the C ounty can officially approve the full-time positions in
March of 2022. A new contract will be executed at that time. The cooperative agreement

Title: Amended lease agreement with MnDOT for Webster Park
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing execution of a renewed lease
with the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for Webster Park.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to continue this lease with MnDOT?
Summary: For the last 50 years the City of St. Louis Park has operated and maintained a public
park facility, Webster Park, located on Webster Avenue and West 33rd Street. A portion of this
park area is on MnDOT right of way.
The State of Minnesota continues to offer a no cost lease to the city in return for maintenance
and upkeep of the property. MnDOT drafted Amendment No. 11, a five -year lease that will
expire on Nov. 30, 2026. The city will be able to renew the lease at that time. This amendment
is consistent with the terms and conditions of previous lease agreements. The prior lease was
for two years.
As a lo ng-term solution, s taff has requested that the ownership of the right of way be conveyed
to the city for a park which is considered a public purpose. MnDOT is currently processing this
request, staff anticipates that this will occur sometime in 2022. Once the land is released to the
city, staff will begin working with the neighborhood on a master plan for the park. The
reimagined park will also include the installation of an underground regional storm water
treatment facility. This project is in the CIP for construction in 2023.
Financial or budget considerations: Funds for maintenance of this park are already included in
the parks and recreation department budget.

read, “Chair Eckholm asked if there was anything preventing the city from accepting a
donation of play equipment from a prospective day care center to bring a nearby city
park's facilities up to a standard acceptable for a day care to use. He noted that this
could allow a center that already budgeted for equipment but cannot find adequate
space to install it a way to avoid a rooftop play area and would add additional value to
the adjacent park.”
Commissioner Weber made a motion to approve the minutes as revised, seconded by
Commissioner Tift. The motion passed unanimously.

Planning commission meeting minutes November 17, 2021
Commissioner Weber asked if there are requirements related to car washes in the city.
Ms. Kramer stated there are some restrictions on automated or drive -up car washes,
but this is not a drive -up wash, so those conditions did not apply in this case. The car
wash will comply with any relevant stormwater or water runoff regulations.
Commissioner Salzer asked if this project is a complete tear down. Ms. Kramer stated
no, the existing building will remain, and three building additions will be constructed.
Commissioner Beneke stated there is another car dealership right next to this one and
asked if it has a similar CUP as Morrie’s . Ms. Kramer stated she believes they do, but she
does not recall when that was approved by council. She stated they would be subject to
the same conditions as Morrie’s, as they are in the same zoning district.
Chair Eckholm opened the public hearing.
Phillip Branson, representing Morrie’s, 12520 Wayzata B oulevard , Minnetonka, MN
spoke . He noted he is in charge of construction for the project and noted the engineer
and architect are also at the meeting.
Mr. Branson stated in addition to the expansion, they are also significantly remodeling
the inside of the building. He stated they are improving the customer and employee
experience with new showroom, lounge and service drive, breakroom, and service
department. He noted the Lincoln dealership to the north was approved in 2016. He
stated they are very excited about the project and will be improving the landscaping as
well.
Chair Eckholm asked if EV chargers will be included and if the dealership sells EV cars.
Mr. Branson stated they do sell EV cars and are laying conduit for EV chargers, as well as
converting two service bays into EV compliance . He added the EV service bays are wider
and require a flat stall in between each bay.
Commissioner Salzer asked if they have a used car building as well and what will that be
used for. Mr. Branson stated that facility is used for selling used cars to Morrie’s. He
stated the building will be removed and torn down and not replaced and that business
moved elsewhere.
Commissioner Salzer asked if more foot traffic will be moving through with the
improvements. Mr. Branson stated the facilities being brought up to brand standards
and they expect increase d sales . The manufacturer also requires this update, to comply
with Hyundai brand standards.
Chair Eckholm closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Tift stated he is excited for this project and the improvements and new
landscaping mentioned.

6. Adjournment - 6:16 p.m.
Study session
1. Just Deed’s presentation
Mr. Walther presented to the commission regarding racial covenants and the city’s new
Just Deeds program and facilitated a discussion by the commission.
Mr. Walther shared the preamble to the city charter. He noted the culture and history of
inclusivity the city had at a time Jewish people were being barred from areas of
Minneapolis and that moved to St. Louis Park. Howeve r, that inclusivity was extended to
black people at the time .
He noted the University of Minnesota’s M apping Prejudice project, which revealed the
extent of the discriminatory covenants in Hennepin County and St. Louis Park.
Mr. Walther noted there were more than 1400 properties in St. Louis Park with racial
covenants identified. He stated these have had ongoing and lasting impacts that persist
today, including disparities in climate impacts , health, and wealth.
Mr. Walther noted the city is sharing this history and hoping to inspire action. He stated
the Just Deeds program started in Golden Valley and has grown to include a coalition of
cities, attorneys, title companies, and others involved in real estate . It provides free
legal and title services to help property owners discharge discriminatory covenants on
their properties. He added these have not been enforceable since the 1960s but are a
hidden history that needs to be discussed.
One example of a new housing program to provid e financial assistance to low -income
first -generation home buyers. First-generation buyers are defined as buyers that have
never owned a home and whose parents have never owned a home . The purpose of the
program is to build wealth in communities most impacted by housing disparities,
including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and other low-income households in
order to support the city’s strategic priority of racial equity and inclusion.
City council meeting of January 3, 2022 (Item No. 4r) Page 4 Title:
Planning commission meeting minutes November 17, 2021
The commissioners discussed the information provided by Mr. Walther about racial
covenants.
Commissioner Weber stated he understands the number of covenants in St. Louis Park
per capita is one of the highest in Hennepin County. He stated that could be a very stark
fact for folks to understand the issue with racial covenants in St. Louis Park.
Mr. Walther stated 100% of the covenants disqualified blacks from homeownership, as
well as other groups.
Commission Beneke asked where funding for the program will come from. Mr. Walther
stated the funding source will be Housing tax increment financing districts that have
expired. The city has budged $300,000 for this program in 2021.
Commissioner Beneke stated it would be helpful to have a comprehensive list of issues
around the country and the program offerings, as well. Mr. Walther agreed. He noted
some of the city’s other affordable housing activities .
Chair Eckholm stated we should always ask why things are the way they are and have
always been. We need to discuss why these things need to be changed and be honest
why things are being preserved.
Commissioner Weber stated he worries about as time goes on; affordable housing
definitions may change. He stated the city policies are tied to median income and he
wants to be sure tenants do not pay too high a percentage of their income on housing.
He asked if the commission could initiate a study session to work on and discuss that
question. Mr. Walther stated housing staff can come to a commission study session to
further discuss the city’s affordable housing programs.
Chair Eckholm asked if there are areas in St. Louis Park that have bee n damaged. Mr.
Walther stated he is not aware of a parallel example in St. Louis Park as experienced in
the Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul with I-94 construction.
Chair Eckholm stated if the program creates support for areas that have freeways going
within their neighborhoods, perhaps this could be incentivized for investment.
Mr. Walther thanked the commission for their comments, noting the city will be refining
this presentation for broader aud ie nces .
Chair Eckholm asked if the city does any state level lobbying on this and is there a way
forward with developers to make progress where the city can see multi-family
condominium ownership in Minnesota again. He stated we have not been building
condos for over 50 years and this is not happening for middle income or affordable
income families.
Commissioner Weber asked if after one year of allowability in the city , are there any
ADU’s? Mr. Walther stated not yet but there is one person interested. The m ost interest
City council meeting of January 3, 2022 (Item No. 4r) Page 5 Title:
Planning commission meeting minutes November 17, 2021
has coming from investment property owners, which are not eligible to create an ADU
under the current rules. He added after people learned the costs to build an ADU, they
have lost interest.
Chair Eckholm asked when discussions will start on the potential for duplexes in St. Louis
Park. Mr. Walther stated he is not certain yet but this is on the 2021 workplan and will
likely carrying into 2022.
Commissioner Beneke asked about the Aldersgate redevelopment project. Mr. Walther
stated an application will likely be submitted in January 2022.

Executive summary
Title: Zoning text amendment – solar energy systems
Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of Ordinance amending Chapter 36
pertaining to solar energy systems and set second reading for Jan. 18, 2022 (four affirmative votes)
Policy consideration: Does council support the proposed ordinance establishing regulations in
the zoning ordinance for solar energy systems?
Summary: The purpose of the ordinance is to make it clear that solar energy systems are
permitted throughout the city. It also clarifies and establishes conditions specific to solar energy
systems. The code generally favors building mounted systems and allows those very broadly. It
also allows and establishes conditions for ground mounted systems as either accessory or
principal uses. The ordinance also relocates accessory structure regulations from the yard
encroachment section to the accessory structure regulations section of the zoning code.
Background: Solar energy systems are important to the city’s renewable energy strategies and
carbon emission reduction goals. One way the city has guided and recognized our progress
regarding policies , programs, procedures and activities to support renewable solar energy is
through SolSmart. SolSmart is a national designation program recognizing cities, counties, and
regional organizations that foster the development of mature local solar markets. In May of
2021, the City of St. Louis Park improved its rating from a bronze to silver designation under
SolSmart. We achieved this designation by utilizing solar on public buildings, demonstrating that
we have a streamlined permitting process that does not hinder issuing permits for solar energy
systems, and for providing information and encouragement for solar energy systems. To achieve
the gold designation, the highest level, the city must explicitly state in its zoning code that solar
energy systems are permitted as accessory uses in each major land use district and demonstrate
that there are no significant regulatory barriers to installing them.
The broader changes to better and more explicitly allow solar energy systems led to a code
re view and clarifications for accessory structures, including swimming pools. While it was not
initially the purpose of the code review, the ordinance includes language clarifying how other
accessory structures are regulated.
The planning commission conducted a public hearing on December 8, 2021 and recommended
approval with the addition that freestanding solar energy systems be allowed in the R-1, R-2
and R-3 districts and that solar energy systems be permitted over parking lots.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.

Title: Zoning text amendment – solar energy systems
Discussion
Background: Below is a list a summary of the changes proposed in the ordinance.
1.Authorization to allow solar energy systems as an administrative amendment to approved
PUD and CUPs with the conditions listed below. Administrative approval allows the city to
approve permits for solar energy systems in a timely and cost-effective manner. Systems
that do not meet the conditions listed below will be processed as either minor or major
amendments depending on the impact to the PUD or CUP approvals. Providing a path for
administrative approval is a key criterion for meeting SolSmart Gold statu s.
•The amendments do not impact intentional landscaping elements approved as part of
the planned unit development or conditional use permit, such as landscaping plazas or
designed open spaces.
•The amendments do not impact landscaping required for screening purposes.
•The structure of the freestanding solar energy systems shall be screened from public
views.
•The required minimum number of trees and shrubs shall not be reduced.
•Existing trees are replaced as required by the tree replacement ordinance (which may
result in payment of fees to the city tree fund rather than plantings on site).
2.Establish a three-foot height exemption for solar energy systems attached to buildings. This
exemption is like the exemption for parapet walls.
3.Allow solar energy sy stems in all zoning districts as an accessory use on rooftops of
buildings and as accessory structures. As accessory structures, the solar energy systems are
allowed in the back yard and interior side yards only. The solar energy systems are required
to me et all existing setbacks and other criteria required in each zoning district. The
ordinance includes exemptions to maximum area and front yard and side yard abutting the
street limitations to allow solar energy systems over parking lots.
The ordinance presented to the planning commission included a condition that the
structure supporting the solar energy panels be screened. After discussing this condition
with staff, it was determined that interpretation of this condition may be problematic and
conflict w ith the operation of the system. Therefore, staff removed this condition from the
proposed ordinance, and will instead rely on the landscaping requirements and plans
submitted by the applicant and approved by the city.
If a property owner is not able to meet yard requirements for solar energy systems, then a
variance could be requested. State law allows access to solar as a consideration for granting
variances.
4.Establishes solar panels as a class 1 material in the architectural ordinance. As a result, sides
of a building could be covered with solar panels. The ordinance also exempts solar panels
from the rooftop screening requirements.
5.Creates a solar energy systems section within the zoning ordinance. This section establishes
the following:
City council meeting of January 3, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Title: Zoning text amendment – solar energy systems
• Requires a permit to install a solar energy system.
• Establishes standards for building-mounted solar energy systems. The standards
including requiring the system to meet the setbacks required for the building it is
mounted to, requiring the solar collector surfaces to be at least one foot from the roof
edge for every one foot the surface extends above the roof.
• Establishes standards for free -standing solar energy systems. Free -standing solar energy
systems are permitted on all properties with the condition that they are not allowed in
the front or side yards abutting streets. The system cannot exceed five percent of
multiple -family property size and 15% of property size for all other uses with the
exception of freestanding solar energy systems as principal uses in the industrial
districts where it is limited to 70% of the parcel size.
• Allow free -standing solar energy systems to be constructed over parking lots. Systems
constructed over a parking lot are exempt from the 5 and 15% lot coverage requirement
and are allowed to be constructed in the front yard and side yard abutting the street.
Miscellaneous revisions. Along with the revisions described above, the ordinance proposes to
relocate regulations pertaining to accessory structures. This amendment changes where the
accessory structure regulations are found in the code but does not change the regulations.
Next steps: If approved, city council will hold a second reading of the zoning ordinance
amendment on Jan. 18, 2022.

Executive summary
Title: Zoning text amendment – daycares
Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of Ordinance amending Chapter 36
pertaining to daycares and set the second reading for Jan. 18, 2022 (four affirmative votes)
Policy consideration: Does council support the proposed ordinance amending regulations in
the zoning ordinance pertaining to daycares?
Summary: The purpose of the ordinance is to reduce barriers in the zoning code that make it
more difficult to locate a daycare in St. Louis Park than in many other cities by amending the
zoning regulations pertaining to daycares in the following manner:
1.Follow state regulations applicable to outdoor activity areas.
2.Allow city parks to be utilized to meet a portion of the required outdoor activity area.
3.Eliminate the minimum distance requirement from principal arterial roads (major highways
such as Highways 100, 394, 169 and 7).
4.Have consistent requirements across all zoning districts for daycare uses.
Background: Over the past few years, staff has worked with several daycare operators wishing
to locate in St. Louis Park. Unfortunately, most have been unable to find locations that meet all
of the city’s zoning conditions. To accommodate the growing need for this valued service, staff
recommends the city consider a more flexible model.
The amendment to allow daycare centers to use city parks was presented to the parks and
recreation advisory commission on Dec. 8, 2021 for comment. The PRAC supported the
amendment and shared the planning commission’s expectation that a sidewalk or trail connect
the daycare center to the park and that the park has age -appropriate equipment. The ordinance
includes conditions for use of the city park which includes a sidewalk or trail connection from the
daycare to the park and a condition that the park must have age-appropriate equipment.
The planning commission reviewed the proposed ordinance in study session on Nov. 3, 2021
and conducted a public hearing on Dec. 8, 2021. No comments were received at the public
hearing, and the planning commission recommended approval.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.

Title: Zoning text amendment – daycares
Discussion
Background: A license is required from the Minnesota Department of Human Services to
operate a commercial daycare center. Hennepin county licenses the family daycares operated
out of a home.
The city allows family daycares as an accessory use in each of our residential districts. The only
conditions applied to them is that they are limited to 14 children and may have only one
employee working at the daycare that does not also reside at the home. Staff does not propose
any changes to these regulations apart from minor rewording to be consistent in all districts.
There have not been undue challenges with establishing family daycares in the city .
Com mercial group daycare centers are currently allowed in nearly all zoning districts with
conditions that either stricter than state minimum requirements or regulate additional criteria
that are not included in the state requirements. These city requirements make it more difficult
for group daycare operators to locate in St. Louis Park.
Summary of proposed ordinance: Below is a summary of the ordinance.
1.Reduce the required on-site outdoor activity area requirement. The ordinance proposes to
rely on the state requirements regarding the size of the on-site outdoor activity area. The
state requires at least 1,500 square feet of outdoor activity area. The maximum number of
children allowed in the outdoor activity area is determined by the size of the area. The
state requires at least 75 square feet of outdoor activity per child occupying the area at any
given time.
City code currently requires 40 square feet of outdoor activity area per child the center is
designed to accommodate at maximum occupancy. For example, if the maximum
occupancy of a daycare is 50 children, then the outdoor activity area needs to be at least
2,000 square feet. The city formula doesn’t acknowledge that all the children may not be
outside at the same time.
The state requirement offers more flexibility as it does not assume all children will be in
the outdoor activity area at the same time as the city does. Relying on state requirements
seems to be the more typical approach taken by cities, especially inner ring suburbs and
central cities.
2.Allow city parks to be used to meet a portion of the required outdoor activity area. The
state does not require the outdoor activity area to be located on and owned by the
daycare center site. It simply requires it to be within 2,000 feet of the center if the children
are walking to it, or within a half -mile if transportation is provided by the center. This
allows city parks to be used for the outdoor activity area.
The ordinance proposes to allow city parks to be used to meet a portion of the required
outdoor activity area with the following conditions:
•At least 50% of the required outdoor activity area be met on-site . This means at least
750 square f eet of outdoor activity area would have to be established on-site. This area
City council meeting of January 3, 2022 (Item No. 8b ) Page 3
Title: Zoning text amendment – daycares
would have a maximum capacity of 10 children. The daycare operator could still build a
larger on-site outdoor activity area.
•Require a sidewalk or improved trail connect the daycare center to the park to be
utilized to meet the outdoor activity area requirement.
•The playground must have age -appropriate equipment. This condition is consistent
with state statute that also requires age -appropriate equipment.
Utilizing city parks for outdoor activity areas is intended to increase opportunities for
group daycares to locate in the city. While it is not currently known how many parks
located within a half -mile of a property zoned for group daycares currently have age-
appropriate equipment, this opportunity gives the group daycare operator the ability to
work with city staff to assess the equipment and install or potentially pay to upgrade
equipment when necessary and the city deems appropriate . The use of city parks would be
considered on a case -by-case basis with the involvement of the parks and recreation
department. The equipment would have to meet city standards and would be available to
the public at all times. It’s anticipated that additional e quipment would be added to the
park at the group daycare operator’s expense unless the equipment is already planned to
be installed as part of the city capital improvement program. If a city park does not meet
the conditions for playground equipment, then that would be cause for denial of the
daycare center’s application to reduce the play area provided on-site.
3.Remov e the requirement that outdoor activity areas be located at least 200 feet from a
principal arterial. Many commercial properties are located along a principal arterial, so this
requirement is a significant barrier to daycare centers locating in St. Louis Park. The
ordinance would continue to require daycare centers’ on-site outdoor activity areas to be
enclosed with a fence.
4.Remove daycare centers as principal uses from the industrial districts and continue to allow
them as accessory uses to a business if the daycare is used primarily for its employees. The
ordinance proposes continue to allow them as accessory uses with the condition that they
are used primarily for its employees.
5.Clarify that daycare centers are allowed on the ground floor of multi-story buildings and
limited to up to 50% of the ground floor area in the Business Park zoning district. The
ordinance proposes to clarify that daycare centers should be limited to the ground floor of
multi-story buildings and abide by the 50% maximum ground floor requirement.

Executive summary
Title: Resolution approving participation in the Just Deeds Project
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution that the City of St. Louis Park joins the Just
Deeds Project as a member organization to provide free legal and title services to help St. Louis
Park property owners find discriminatory covenants and discharge them from their property
titles.
Policy consideration: Does the city council want to join the Just Deeds Project as a coalition
member?
Summary: In 2016, the University of Minnesota founded Mapping Prejudice to expose the
racist housing practices that shaped the landscape of the metro area, mapping more than
24,000 discriminatory covenants in Hennepin County, including more than 1,800 in St. Louis
Park. While these discriminatory covenants are no longer legal or enforceable, the City of St.
Louis Park recognizes the harm that discriminatory covenants – and the racial, religious and
other discriminatory practices they represent – cause to society in general and to the
individuals who are adversely affected by racial, religious and other discrimination through the
presence of discriminatory covenants in the public land records.
The Just Deeds Project helps property owners find discriminatory covenants and discharge
them from their property titles and to educate the community about this and other historically
discriminatory practices; to identify contemporary discriminatory systems, policies and
practices; and to take action in dismantling racist systems, practices and policies, in accordance
with city’s strategic priority of being a leader in racial equity and inclusion in order to create a
more just and inclusive community for all.
Financial or budget considerations: The Just Deeds Project provides free legal and title services
to help property owners find discriminatory covenants and discharge them from their property
titles. The city incurs no additional costs to offer this program.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in racial equity
and inclusion in order to create a more just and inclusive community for all.

Title: Resolution approving participation in the Just Deeds Project
Discussion
Background: The Just Deeds Project was introduced to St. Louis Park residents with an
announcement in the October 2021 Park Perspective. This announcement coincided with
introduction of a web page on the city website (www.stlouispark.org/just-deeds). The web page
has a link to an online application for property owners to request discharge or restrictive
covenants on their property.
In November 2021, nearly 100 people attended a screening of the documentary Jim Crow of the
North, which charts the progression of racist policies and practices in the United States housing
market that contributed to the inequities seen today. A panel discussion featuring Mayor Jake
Spano and Mapping Prejudice Project Director Kirsten Delegard followed the screening. The
discussion also allowed participants to learn about the Just Deeds Project. The event was
hosted by St. Louis Park neighborhood associations, in partnership with the human rights
commission and city race equity division.
Staff liaisons have presented Just Deeds information to the planning, human rights and
environment and sustainability commissions.
To date, 63 applications have been received from property owners, of which 50 had verified
restrictive covenants. Those applications have been referred for further legal and title services.
Present considerations: While the Just Deeds Project has already been introduced to the
community and work to discharge discriminatory covenants is underway, this resolution
formalizes the city’s membership in the Just Deeds Project.
Next steps: The Just Deeds project will continue to be communicated to residents. Immediate
plans include continued Park Perspective articles and a planned video featuring the mayor
discussing the racial covenant on his own property and the process of discharging that
covenant. Staff involved in the project are also participating in “train the trainer” sessions and
will be available to speak to neighborhood groups or provide information at city events.

Title: Resolution approving participation in the Just Deeds Project
Resolution No. 22-____
Resolution approving participation in the Just Deeds Project
Whereas, discriminatory covenants were used from the early 1900s to the 1960s to
prevent people of color and non-Christian individuals from buying or occupying property in
certain areas, including in the City of St. Louis Park; and
Whereas, discriminatory covenants promoted and established residential racial
segregation, which historically and currently has impacted property ownership, accumulation of
wealth, property transfers, mortgage eligibility, rental eligibility, property values, property tax
base, internet access and more ; and
Whereas, discriminatory covenants fortified systemic racism and compounded economic
divestment in specific communities within Hennepin County, benefiting those in power while
restricting housing options for people of color and non-Christian individuals; and
Whereas, properties with racial covenants were classified, without basis in fact, as more
desirable by the Federal Housing Authority and Home Ownership Loan Corporation, resulting in
more favorable mortgage rates and more public and private investment; and
Whereas, restrictive covenants are no longer enforceable. According to the Mapping
Prejudice website, “The NAACP recognized covenants as a fundamental threat to racial
equality. The legendary civil rights organization launched a sustained legal campaign against
covenants in the 1940s, prompting the Supreme Court to rule in the landmark 1948 Shelley v
Kramer case that covenants were unenforceable.” While the Minnesota legislature in 1953
prohibited new covenants, existing covenants remained legal in Minnesota until 1962.
Covenants remained common in much of the nation until 1968 when the Fair Housing Act made
them illegal; and
Whereas, because of these judicial and legislative action s, Minnesota law and federal law
now prohibits discrimination in the sale or lease o f housing based on race, color, creed, religion,
national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual
orientation , or familial status. Those state and federal prohibitions extend to the refusal to sell
or circulate, post or cause to be printed, circulated, or posted, any limitation, specification or
discrimination as to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with
regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or familial status; and
Whereas, in 2016 the University of Minnesota founded Mapping Prejudice to expose the
racist housing practices that shaped the landscape of the metro area, mapping 24,131
discriminatory covenants in Hennepin County that include more than 1,800 in St. Louis Park;
and
Whereas, in 2019 the Minnesota Legislature passed a law authorizing property owners to
individually discharge or renounce discriminatory covenants by recording a discharge form in
the county property records; and
City council meeting of January 3, 2022 (Item No. 8c ) Page 4
Title: Resolution approving participation in the Just Deeds Project
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park recognizes the harm that discriminatory covenants –
and the racial, religious and other discriminatory practices that they represent – cause to
society in general and to the individuals who are adversely affected by racial, religious and
other discrimination through the presence of discriminatory covenants in the public land
records; and
Whereas, the Just Deeds Project provides free legal and title services to help property
owners find discriminatory covenants and discharge them from their property titles, and
provides education opportunities to help communities acknowledge this racist history and
pursue reconciliation and anti-racist solutions .
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of St. Louis Park joins the Just Deeds Project as
a member organization to provide free legal and title services to help St. Louis Park property
owners find discriminatory covenants and discharge them from their property titles.
It is further resolved that the City of St. Louis Park will participate in the work of the Just
Deeds Project to educate the community about this and other historically discriminatory
practices; to identify contemporary discriminatory systems, policies and practices; and to take
action in dismantling racist systems, practices and policies, in accordance with city’s strategic

Title: Sub-Grantee Agreement between the EDA and CommonBond for Rise on 7
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA Resolution approving a Sub-Grantee Agreement
between the EDA and CommonBond.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support the proposed Sub-Grantee Agreement with
CommonBond which formalizes the respective parties’ obligations relative to the Livable
Communities Demonstration Account grant award?
Summary: In July 2021, CommonBond received city council planning approvals for Rise on 7, an
affordable housing development on the site of the former Prince of Peace Lutheran Church at
8115 Hwy. 7. The development is a five -story, mixed -use building contain ing 120 dwelling units
and a 6,600-square-foot daycare. All dwelling units at Rise on 7 will be affordable to households
with incomes ranging between 30% and 60% of area median income (AMI).
In November 2020, the EDA was awarded a Livable C ommunities Demonstration Account (LCDA)
grant from the Metropolitan Council on behalf of CommonBond for its Rise on 7 development.
Per the EDA’s grant agreement with the Metropolitan Council, the $1,430,000 grant award is to
be used for property acquisition, stormwater, rain garden and a public sidewalk. CommonBond
purchased the property in February 2020 and has asked staff to submit a reimbursement request
to the Metropolitan Council for the property acquisition portion of the grant. The EDA’s attorney
has recommended the EDA enter into a Sub-Grantee Agreement with CommonBond formalizing
the terms for the distribution of the grant funds since the parties have not yet entered into a
formal redevelopment contract. EDA action is required for this agreement due to the significant
award amount to be expended. Further details are outlined in the attached Discussion.
The EDA ’s legal counsel drafted the proposed Agreement recommends its approval.
Financial or budget considerations: The LCDA grant award is $1,430,000. There is no match
requirement for LCDA Development grants. The EDA simply serves as the conduit for the grant
funds.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Discussion
In February 2020, CommonBond purchased the former Prince of Peace church site south of the
Shoppes at Knollwood at 8115 MN Highway 7 (see attached map). The city council approved a
comprehensive plan amendment, plat and PUD ordinance on July 6, 2021 allowing the
redevelopment of the site and construction of a five -story, mixed -use building with 120
dwelling units and a 6,600-square -foot daycare. All dwelling units within Rise on 7 will be
affordable to households with incomes ranging between 30% and 60% of area median income
(AMI).
CommonBond is currently seeking financing from Minnesota Housing and other public agencies
for this affordable housing development. On July 6, 2021, the EDA approve d a resolution
expressing support for CommonBond’s application to Minnesota Housing for Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits in connection with the development and support for the provision of tax
increment financing in an amount not to exceed $1.2 million, should it subsequently be proven
necessary.
As part of its financing, CommonBond requested that the EDA submit an application on
its behalf to the Metropolitan Council for its Livable Communities Demonstration Account
(LCDA) grant. On November 11, 2020, the EDA was awarded a grant of $1,430,000, to be used
for Rise on 7’s property acquisition, stormwater, rain garden and a public sidewalk costs. Per
the LCDA grant agreement with the Metropolitan Council, the EDA serves as a pass-through for
the grant funds.
CommonBond has asked staff to submit a reimbursement request to the Metropolitan Council
for the acquisition portion of the grant funds. The EDA’s attorney has recommended the EDA
enter into a Sub-Grantee Agreement with CommonBond formalizing the terms for the
distribution of the grant funds since the parties have not yet entered into a formal
redevelopment contract. The terms in the Sub-Grantee Agreement confirm the conditions
required for grant fund distribution, outline reporting requirements, clarify that unspent funds
will revert back to the Metropolitan Council, and requires that if CommonBond fails to
complete the development prior to the termination date they will be responsible for repaying
any expended grant funds.
The Sub-Grantee Agreement is available for review in the Community Development
Department.
Next Steps: Upon approval of the Sub-Grantee Agreement, staff will coordinate reimbursement
of specified grant funds to CommonBond. Once CommonBond receives financing commitments
