Recognition of Donation Mayor Spann thanked the MN Society of Arboriculture for their donation of $2,500 for expenses for Jim Vaughan, Natural Resources Coordinator, to attend an educational conference in Washington, DC recently. 3. Approval of Minutes 3a. Special Study Session Minutes February 13, 2017 Councilmember Sanger noted a change at the bottom of page 5. It should read "Councilmember Sanger stated the developer has done an admirable job in including every possible politically correct entity in the project." Councilmember Sanger also noted she was referring to the north frontage road on Highway 7, and not the north side of Wooddale. Finally, she stated it should also reflect she was quite concerned because the estimated costs of the construction project are twice as high as the estimated market value of the project, upon completion, so this did not seem like a good financial investment. It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to approve the February 13, 201 7Special Steady Session Meeting Minutes as amended The motion passed 7-0. •-,lznd smo-I *IS Io Xi!D 01ql Xq •oul `opTluug.L of ponsst osuooll zonbll Io uolln00naz $ulpzOaz luaulaaz& pun uolIndlls anozddy -tit, •1oofozd SZ XnmNznd sli .zol TunAozd (Qo,L) luatudolaeaQ poluauo ilsueij XlunoD utdouuoH oil, of uollnOltddn 1Uez�f u Io uolssluzgns s,dnoio ulaS zoI lToddnS 3o bS0-LI •o1sl not;niosaH ldopy 3b •alzud zaluodwD ul painool oq of aped olmis oql plmq PUB u3gsop 01 000`00Z$ p03oxa of IOU ;Tmoum 0141 ul Twig OTI; gllM louzluo0 n Io uollnooxo azlzoglnu pun zapplq pozlzoginu oql sn s3yed 01UNS nUuoj!IBD ojwu ?IsaQ •ab •LIOZ `ZZ HAV plait oq o1 zauula 2ulzdS gsmIl z10g1 zoI 100zIS a)tn-1 lsam 0065 In X111und XIOH aTII 3o go.mTgD Toj osuao17 zonbi-I �?u4luolxolul aluS-uo Xamodtua,l n anozddV •Pb 'D'Q `uol2Tngs% Of aauazaluoa aznllnalzogzV 3o XiomoS Inuo4lnuz0luI LIOZ 0111 pualln 01 `z0lnulpzooD soamosow Inzn; N `ung0nnn tu!f zoI sosuodxo poinlaz Itn zo3 OOS`Z$ paaaxa of lou Iunotue un ul omllnapoyV 3o XiolooS ulosouulW alt, Tuog uo4113uop kelouotu n3o oouuidoom 2uTAoadde CSO -LI 'olsl uol;niosaH 1dopV at 'DTI `IsOA� 3Ized luzluaL) gijAi luouTdolaeapag alnnTzd zoI 10uzluOD 01 IuauzpuouTV glmoq OumoAdn ZSO-LI 'ON uoc;njosau ;dopy qt, uolinOtlgnd zoI 1CMUIUMS a0Ueu4p.10 aq1 aeozddu of pun `slolzls4p �?uuzoz Inliuoplsaz oigl uI p31n001 suol;nipsu[ snoli?Itaz of osn kiossoom un se sl 4un Oui11omp Iluuod of fuluoz 012wpelaz sooueuipzo Io opoD 3I.md smo l Is agi3o 9£ zaldugD ftpuOuJu LI-bISZ •olst aauuutpao idopy pun �?utpuaZl puoOaS anozddy ub .aupua1e3;uasuoD uo SnIa;I puu upu32y JO IunoaddV •b 0-Z passvd uozjout atjs pa7ua9a.Td sv sajnugV ButjooN juzor• L [0,,1ZI gojL7N aqj ano.Tddv of `uasnvtg tagtuatu1zounoD dq papuooas `f)!AvLlT tagwatupouno:) Cq panow svmt II LIOZ `£I gaauW sa;nuM Nu►;aaW jutof p£ '0-Z passvduozjotu aqj pajuasa.Td sv sajnugV $utjaoN 1zounoD dCjtD L 10E 9 goavH aqj ado,tddv of `rQIWN .tagIUdtujgounoD dq papuoaas B,tagpuz7 ,tagtuatupzaunoD dq padotu vDm II LIOZ `9 ga.luW sa;nuM tut;aaj/V Icauno,7 i4ia a£ 0-L passvd uopout atpd papuatuv sv sajnu!N $uzjadN uozssas dtpnig pvzoadS L [0,7 9 gjjL7N otpj ado.Tddv of `ugpjwj ,laqutawyounoD dq papuooas `uasnvig •tagtuatu1jouno,7 dq panotu svrK jl •sionpozd asagl .zol oopd tunuuunu u $ulgsllgnlso Izoddns lou pip aqs palms agS suo11n1os zaunal0 puu zalnau 0111 azn `IZ of a$n tunTUTu4UT ag1$u4s4nz pun slogs ,fIuo-oomgol of sales �?u4llulg polou alts `xllnuolgMJJOAIIS iTppV '«zagzu3Ta°IT.S„ Iou puu «„ sn atueu Isnl s,gzn3z0nllS nine -I Io OuTllods loauo oqj palou zaj?uuS TogtuouTpounoD LIOZ `9 gaaulgl sa;nuM fat;a3W uotssaS ,fpn;S IutaodS •4£ LIOZ `OZ gojuW -Z- 8ulloow 11011noD XIID City Council Meeting -3- March 20, 2017 5. 6. 0 It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Lindberg, to approve the Agenda as presented and to waive reading of all resolutions and ordinances.

The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed). 8c. PLACE Private Activity Revenue Bond Financing (Housing). Resolution No. 17-057 Mr. Simon presented the staff report calling for the public hearing on April 17, 2017. He noted the council is being asked to consider the issuance of private activity revenue bonds to finance all or a portion of the proposed 299 housing units in the project in the approximate principal amount up to $27,185,503. Councilmember Mavity stated that the March 13, 2017, staff report on PLACE provided an in-depth report and demonstrates this is a complex project, with financial gaps. She continued that the city would be a partner in identifying financial gaps. The city has invested over four years on this project, and it is in all of our best interests to do everything to help move this project forward at no risk. It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Lindberg, to adopt Resolution No. 17-057, calling for a public hearing regarding the issuance of revenue bonds for the benefit of PLACE, or affiliated thereof, and a multifamily housing program. The motion passed 6 -1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed). 8d. Douglas Corporation — Conditional Use Permit. Resolution No. 17-058 Ms. Monson presented the staff report. She noted that Douglas Corporation applied for a CUP for the property at 3520 Xenwood Avenue to allow excavation of more than 400 cubic yards of soil. The plan is to excavate 2,150 cubic yards in order to install two underground detention tanks to collect rainwater, which will be captured from the roof, stored in buried tanks, and then pumped into the facility for treatment and reuse in the industrial process. She added that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) determined that Douglas Corporation was the source of pollution contaminating Lake Calhoun. Prior to 2010, the company used chemicals in the manufacturing process that contaminated the stormwater on the site. Once the company realized their potential harm, they ceased using the products and found alternatives; however the chemicals accumulated on the roof. Since 2010, Douglas Corporation has worked with the MPCA to replace the roof, roof vents, tanks and other structures, but there are still traces of pollution on the property which are contaminating the stormwater runoff. The company's goal is to stop the stormwater contamination by capturing runoff from the property before it leaves the site; filtering and treating the water; and reusing the water in its industrial process. Today the site does not meet zoning regulations; however, the proposed plans bring the site closer to compliance to the extent possible. Ms. Monson stated a neighborhood meeting was held on February 28, 2017, which no one from the community attended. She added that the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend the CUP for Douglas Corporation to council. •slugoow pooq.ToggdTau pus suoissos 1pnis IRIaeas is isud oql ui possnosip uaaq su11 loafoad sigl polsis /iinsw .TagtuaulliounoD 'Ouiloom uoissiuuuo-) dumuld oqi is oilgnd oqI lq opuuT axOm SIUQWLnoa ou `.Iaeamoq `siuowoimbax 2uiuoz asuq a11l paaoxo sluiaalstu opsdsj puu fui3l.Tud posodozd aq1 is11l puu sluoutalinba.T $uiuoz fuilaauT aps5sd OUIPling PUL, 2unl.Tsd inogs suzamuoa azam azaTll 'But iootu poogzogq2jou `9IOZ `6Z aagtuanoN aql Is paluls a11S -auTooui uuTpOw uazs %09 lu alqupzo3Ju On shun oqi do %OZ put, `shun Sg suq `asn paxiuT si Iuautdojaeap oq1 polou oqS •Izodo.T d3uls 0111 poluosaad uosuoW •slnl LI-9ISZ Puu LI-SISZ'soNI aauuulPao •IuatudolaeaQ Ilun Pauuuid Iuu[A puu ltuucturlaad 'uollumuA lalIV — Poomualg aqj a8 '0-L passed uoyotu aql suo./Ppuoo of loalgns `anuadV poomTuoX 0,7S£ 1v wals(fs asnai pun a.inldvo `.[alvmw lots puno&.rapun uv ldmilmoo of In.ualLm fo spwd azgno 0Sl`7fo uozlvdnaxa agl Suinao11n uouvTodToD svl2noQ aof (dnD) 1zur.Tad asn lvuoyzpuOD v 2uyuv.T2 SSO LI 'oAz uoynlosag idopv of `uosnv.Tg ,TagwotultounoD dq papuoaas `dlzdvyln .taqulaw1zouno:) dq padouT Sven 11 •In31oudtui ool oq lou Ilim Ii Palsis uosuoW •slnl •uoilunuaxa atp wimp Intq "on.Il atll su slaudtui og3sxl luu oq 111m,wotli 3i pmfsu ousdS. .Tolslnl si li 'sal paluls ulupn3 •.Iyq •anisuodxo l.Tae llgugozd si si111 Ouippu `ulupn3 zyq paTmgl osls uosnsag aagtuautliaunoo •3l.Tom sTgl �?uiop ao3 uluPn3 UW Pa3luugi aqS '2UREW si uoils.IodzoD sulOn0a Tu111 sluautOAo.Tdun puu sa�uugo otp solsioa.Tddu aqs pus `sanssi to sodll osogl glim preq ITq uaaq ssq pooTltogg2loN poomullg aql pawls liinulnl .TaquxauTliounoa •sal pa.Tamsus ulupn3 •aW •ooumldmoo Iln3 ui oq III^' uoiluaodzoo a11l 3i ulupn3 -,TW pa3Isu zaduuS aogmompounoD •zalum 0111 Iuazl 01 si utalgoad oql oluuituga 01 lsm lluo 011.L •pazaeoasTp sum Ii su uoos su OIOZ ul Imioltm a11l �3uisn poddols 10111 papps OH •slusuituuluoo atji lq paganoi sum Isgl 2uiqumld jo 000id liana pus 3ooa 0111 poouldaz oAeq lagl paluls slspn3 uw 'll inoqu op Iiim uoiluaodzoD sulOnoa osla Isgm lou 3i pus `utalgo.Td a11l saAlosaz lIIn3 sigl 3i pa)Isu Inq aATI.Toddns si oqs paluls za�luuS .ToquioLullounoo •�foozpaq 0111 ui lou inq `.Ialum punoa� molls11s oqI uo Ioudmi up uaaq suq oTogl lsgl paluls ulupn3 •sy�I •.Talum punoz�? uo Ioudtui luu uaaq suq oiog13i pa)Isu uosnuzg Togwotuflounoj tLlaauom jo azs lath Istll olguisun os pus sluaiulogo gsxeq are 4olgm `s<dDd Paisis ulupn3 •.TalumTu.Iois oqI olui Ind duiaq are slsoiut3110 isgm poNsu uosnuzg aagtuowjlounoa •sore oil -am a11l uiglim 3Izom saalolduta 0093o lulol s Puu `limoud x111 113 3lzom soalolduta S£I Paluls `ta$suulnl suoiluaado uoiluzodzoa ssli?noa 'slspn3 ugof •uoiiszod.ToD ssldno(f is 3Iaom aldoad lusuT moq po3lsu pus onssi sigl ssa.Ippu 01 s.Taumo atll 2mmolls 3o oATpoddns si oq paluls uosnsag .TagtuaulliounoD LIOZ'OZ gO.TeW -9- dui ooW IiounoD XpD City Council Meeting -7- March 20, 2017 It u,as moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 2515-17 vacating the northern eight feet of alley right -of -may and approve the Summary Ordinance for publication.

Councilmember Lindberg noted that the last time this PUD came before the council, he supported the alley vacation but did not support the PUD.

He stated he has been a tireless advocate for senior housing and noted a conversation recently with his mother, who would be able to afford the rents that will be offered at this development. He stated he does not want to be an enemy of good. Therefore, he will be changing his position and will not stand in the way of the project accomplishing its goals. Councilmember Brausen stated he is supportive of this project, also. The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Miller opposed). 9.
