Meeting: Special Study Session Meeting Date: March 5, 2018 Discussion Item: 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: 2018 – 2023 Solid Waste Collection Proposals RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff desires direction on the policy questions noted below. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does Council want to consider optional every other week (EOW) garbage collection? Does Council want to consider weekly recycling collection, knowing there is an increased cost? Is Council comfortable changing to separate collection for organics and yard waste? Which of the Hauler Options does Council prefer – Haulers 1, 2, or 3? (The City Attorney advises that all specific data related to hauler proposals is considered private (non-public) until contracts are awarded. Information may be discussed at the meeting as long as hauler names are not used and instead are referred to as Options 1-3 as denoted in Attachment A). SUMMARY: At the May 22 and September 11, 2017 study sessions staff spoke to Council about the Request for Proposals (RFP) process and the possible new collection methods in the RFP for garbage, recycling, organics recycling and yard waste that would help the city achieve its goals. The collection methods listed below for Council’s consideration are described in more detail in the Discussion section of the report, with cost comparisons provided in Attachment A. •Garbage: Weekly garbage collection with optional EOW service is the lowest cost method to allow residents with less waste to choose EOW service, without making all residents switch. •Recycling: Weekly collection is approximately 85-95% higher in cost than EOW recycling, which may increase residents’ solid waste rates by $9/$10 per quarter. •Organics & Yard Waste: Collecting organics recycling (only in carts) and yard waste separately is the most viable option for the upcoming contract and is not expected to result in increases in combined collection and processing costs. Staff contacted ten haulers and five submitted proposals. The major difference in the proposals is in the area of recycling. Staff has prepared three Hauler Options for Council consideration (Attachment A). Each of the options can accommodate any of the collection methods. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Solid waste collection costs are funded by the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. Recycling is the only service that is expected to result in rate increases in both recycling scenarios, in the first year. For the 98% of customers at 90-gal service or less, the increase for weekly recycling would range from $4-$16 per quarter with an average increase of $9-$10/quarter. If Council chooses EOW recycling collection the cost increase would range from $1.5 - $5.50 per quarter, with an average increase of $3-$4/quarter. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship. We will increase environmental consciousness and responsibility in all areas of city business.

Walsh, Director of Operations & Recreation Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Special Study Session Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 2 Title: 2018-2023 Solid Waste Collection Proposals DISCUSSION Council Direction Requested The discussion section of this report provides the detail of the collection proposals received and staff’s evaluation of the proposals. To move forward, staff is requesting direction on the following items: Methods of Collection 1. Which collection method for garbage is preferred by Council? a.Weekly for all households (current) b. Weekly with optional EOW for 20 and 30-gallon households (current pilot) c.EOW for all households 2. Which collection method for recycling is preferred by Council? a.EOW for all households (current) b. Weekly for all households 3. Which collection method for organics and yard waste is preferred by Council? a.Separate collection of organics recycling and yard waste b.Co-collection of organics recycling and yard waste with seasonal split collection during the heavy yard waste months in the spring and fall Hauler Options 1.Which hauler option for garbage, recycling, organics recycling and yard waste is preferred by Council? a.Option 1: One hauler for all services for 5-years (least expensive total cost) b.Option 2: One hauler for all services for 7-years (least expensive household rates) c.Option 3: One hauler for garbage, organics recycling and yard waste and a second hauler for recycling for 5-years History At the May 22, 2017 study session staff spoke with Council about the Request for Proposals (RFP) process, solid waste program goals, and potential program changes. Council expressed interest in considering the following items: 1.Weekly recycling and every other week garbage 2. Smaller garbage service options for low volume users 3.Organics recycling options for multi-family residents At the September 11, 2017 study session staff spoke with Council again about new significant items to be added to the RFP, including: 1.Pricing for weekly and optional every-other-week garbage (for lowest service levels only). 2. Pricing for weekly and every-other-week recycling. 3.Permanently adding multi-family organics recycling drop-sites, after successful completion of pilot (drop-site for multi-family successfully implemented). 4. Alternate collection methods and delivery locations for organics recycling and yard waste 5.Ensuring that services proposed help the City reach program goals of high quality service, environmental stewardship, cost effective services, effective communication, and continual program/industry evaluation. Special Study Session Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 3 Title: 2018-2023 Solid Waste Collection Proposals Evaluation of Collection Methods Based on input from Council, the Request for Proposals required pricing for multiple collection methods for garbage, recycling, organics recycling, and yard waste. The collection methods are outlined below. Comparison of proposal prices for each collection method from the top three Hauler Options can be found in Attachment A. Garbage – Proposals were requested for three garbage collection methods. a. Weekly garbage collection (all households) • Current, long-standing method of garbage collection. • No change for residents. b. Weekly garbage, with optional every-other-week (EOW) collection for 20 and 30- gallon service levels • Less expensive than weekly garbage collection. • Weekly collection for all residents, unless they opt for EOW. • Allows residents who want a lower volume of garbage service to opt-in to EOW garbage collection, without requiring all residents to do so. • Optional EOW garbage collection would be available for 20- and 30-gallon service levels only (those in higher service levels can just switch to smaller cart). • An EOW garbage pilot project has been underway successfully since September with limited issues. The pilot will conclude in mid-March. Staff will use feedback from the pilot project participants to form EOW garbage requirements if Council chooses to provide the option. c. Every-other-week garbage (all households) • Least cost method of garbage collection. • Requires all residents to switch to EOW garbage collection. • High number of residents would also need to switch to a larger cart size to accommodate holding garbage for two weeks. • Over 75% of residents surveyed in 2017 either did not want to switch to EOW garbage or were unsure if they wanted to switch. • Has the potential for odor and rodent problems until a much higher organics recycling participation rate exists. • Reduces truck traffic on city streets by collecting from half the city each week. Recycling – Proposals were requested for two recycling collection methods. a. Every-other-week recycling collection • Current collection method. • Least expensive method of recycling collection. • Reduces truck traffic on city streets by collecting from half the city each week. b. Weekly recycling collection • Less confusion for residents on which week to put out their cart. • Allows residents with limited space to reduce cart size or increase recyclable collection without increasing cart size. • Collecting from the entire city each week requires doubling trucks and hauling staff, so proposal costs are approximately 85 – 95% greater than EOW recycling. This would translate into a $9 - $10 per quarter increase to residents. Special Study Session Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 4 Title: 2018-2023 Solid Waste Collection Proposals •2017 resident survey results show support for weekly recycling based on the cost increases listed below: o 88% of residents support if there is no extra cost o 52% of residents support if cost increased up to $2.50/quarter o 34% of residents support if cost increased up to $5/quarter o 15% of residents support if cost increased up to $10/per quarter Organics Recycling & Yard Waste Proposals provided for two collection methods. The collection methods available to the City are listed below and are similar in cost, when factoring in collection and processing (tipping) fees. a. Separate collection of organics and yard waste •Organics recycling and yard waste are collected in separate trucks. •The most viable option to address consistent and dependable capacity for city material at the processing facilities during the contract term. •Collection of organics only in city-owned carts. •Collection of yard waste in separate, resident owned containers or compostable yard waste bags. •Multiple delivery locations available for both organics and yard waste due to separate collection, with some locations having a closer delivery distance. •Collecting organics separately allows the City to more accurately track weekly participation, material collected, and better address contamination in carts. •Regional trend is separate collection to aid transfer and processing capacity. •Residents can use smaller sized carts (larger carts being reused in garbage and recycling programs). b.Co-collection of organics and yard waste with seasonal split collection •“Seasonal split” collection has carted material (co-collection of organics and yard waste mixed in carts) collected in one truck and yard waste only set outside the cart collected in a second truck during heaviest yard waste months (April, May, October, and November). •“Seasonal split” was tested in October / November 2017, resulted in increased resident confusion and increased call volume relating to missed collections. •Only one delivery location is available for co-collected materials. •Staff is concerned about the long-term viability of this option. It is questionable as more communities begin organics recycling programs in the Twin Cities. Capacity issues may force processing facilities to stop accepting co-collected material during the contract, requiring immediate change by residents with limited time for staff to educate residents on the required changes. Proposal Information General Proposal Information - Many factors go into making the decision to award a contract for solid waste collection services. The City desires Haulers that will provide high quality service, that are responsive to customers, and participate in resident education - all at cost effective rates. The RFP for residential garbage, recycling, organics recycling and yard waste were comprehensive and included many of the requirements that will be included in the final agreements with selected Hauler(s). Major components in the RFP include requirements for: collection services; personnel; customer service expectations and resident response timeframes; penalties for non-compliance; Special Study Session Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 5 Title: 2018-2023 Solid Waste Collection Proposals required reports and meetings with the city; public education assistance; pilot projects; involvement with the City’s Cleanup event and community event recycling; cart storage/inventory/delivery; references and contacts at municipalities where similar work is being performed; contract transition details; discussion of past contract problems and any litigation experienced in the past 5-years; contracts lost in the past 5-years; and extra services required during a disaster. Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Research Staff reviewed both the Office of State Procurement and Minnesota United Certification Program for minority or women owned businesses providing hauling services and found none. Haulers Considered Staff contacted the following ten hauling companies that operate in the Twin Cities Metro to gauge their interest in receiving a Request for Proposals: Advanced Disposal, Aspen Waste, Dick’s Sanitation, Eureka Recycling, Randy’s Sanitation, Republic Services, Walter’s Recycling & Refuse, Tennis Sanitation, Vierkant Disposal, and Waste Management. Timeline RFP’s were sent to all interested parties on December 1, 2017 and were received by January 5, 2018. The contract term is from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2023. Proposals Received Proposals were received from five haulers: Advanced Disposal, Eureka Recycling, Republic Services, Walters Refuse & Recycling, and Waste Management (Aspen Waste, Randy’s Sanitation, and Dicks Sanitation withdrew during the RFP process; Tennis Sanitation and Vierkant Disposal were not interested in receiving RFP’s). Evaluation of Proposals / Development of Hauler Options Staff evaluated all proposals by their various factors, including: services offered; past experience; detailed contractor questionnaires; references; proposal costs; etc. Staff has reviewed proposals from all five haulers and believe that all five are capable of providing services requested in our RFP. Staff has identified three of the most cost effective options that will help reach the goals discussed with Council in previous study session discussions. The Hauler Options 1 - 3 (below) allow Council to choose any combination of collection methods for solid waste services that they desire. Top 3 Hauler Options • Option 1 – this is the lowest cost option for a 5-year term and uses one hauler to provide all four services. The proposal provides the lowest cost for all materials (for a 5-year term) for any of the collection methods that Council chooses. • Option 2 – this is the lowest cost option overall per year, but adds two additional years to the contract for a 7-year term and uses one hauler to provide all four services. The proposal provides the overall lowest annual cost for all materials (lower per household rates than Option 1 or 3) for any of the collection methods that Council chooses. Staff notes that the longer contract term would limit the city’s ability to make program changes until the end of a 7-year versus a 5-year term. Special Study Session Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 6 Title: 2018-2023 Solid Waste Collection Proposals •Option 3 – this option uses two haulers to provide all four services and has higher recycling costs. Recyclables would be collected using two types of trucks, semi-automated side-load on streets and rear-load (current truck type for all collection) in alleys. The use of semi- automated trucks has not been allowed in past contracts because it would reduce the ability to monitor contamination and provide direct education to residents who are not complying with city requirements. It would also require stricter cart set-out rules for residents, and may present collection problems on car-lined streets. Additional proposals were submitted, but were not viable due to significantly higher cost, for comparable services. Non-Public Data The City Attorney has advised staff that all specific data related to hauler proposals is considered private (non-public) until the City has awarded contracts for these services. This information (Attachment A) is being provided to Council but is not being made available to the public at this time. The City Attorney has said it is acceptable to discuss private information at the meeting as long as hauler names are not used and service delivery is referred to as Options 1-3 (as denoted in Attachment A). It should be noted the information contained in Attachments A are considered PRIVATE (non- public), as per M.S. 13.591, until the City has awarded contracts for these services. Next Steps Based on the Hauler Option and Collection Methods preferred by Council, staff will negotiate collection contracts with the appropriate hauler(s) and then bring them to Council for approval. Staff feels contract(s) could be available for Council approval in April. Process / Timeline Below are the major steps needed for implementing the new contract(s): Item Completion Date Staff reviews Hauler proposals / recommendations with Council March 2018 Council authorizes staff to negotiate contracts with selected Haulers(s) March 2018 Staff negotiates collection contract(s) with selected Hauler(s) March 2018 Staff prepares contract(s) for Council consideration March - April 2018 Council approves new Hauler collection contract(s) April 2018 Staff conducts public education outreach with residents April - August 2018 New collection contract(s) begin Oct 1, 2018 Special Study Session Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 7 Title: 2018-2023 Solid Waste Collection Proposals ATTACHMENT A COLLECTION METHODS & HAULER OPTIONS (PRIVATE - NON PUBLIC) Meeting: Economic Development Authority Meeting Date: March 5, 2018 Minutes: 3a UNOFFICIAL MINUTES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ST.

Mayor Spano noted the three areas of greatest priority for 2018 for the city are as follows: • Community Development – related to housing and affordable housing, with TIF funding. • Transportation – related to Minnetonka Boulevard, west to Highway 169; Texas Avenue; and CSAH 25. • Public Safety – related to the Pathways to Policing program, which focuses on the city’s race equity work and recruiting people of color for the police force. Councilmember Brausen noted to the legislators the council’s concern about statewide preemption, which limits local authority. Councilmember Mavity emphasized the city’s concerns about affordable housing and asked if it might be a bonding or an appropriations year. Representative Dorfman noted this issue, along with affordable housing, as concerns of the council. She stated that mayors of both Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the Governor, have programs to assist with affordable housing. She noted that poverty is very real in all of our communities and is the most pressing problem in the region today. She added that they are also seeing more homeless seniors now. Senator Latz stated that the largest issue in 2018 will likely be tax conformity, which may mean a change in tax rates. He stated that the legislature expects to see a bonding bill this year, and there is strong bi-partisan support for affordable housing as well. He added that he is doubtful about appropriations during this session. Senator Latz said that the local authority issue is a constant battle, and he will help as much as he can on this issue. He added that he was glad to hear the Pathways program was working well and would help to promote it. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 2 Title: Special Study Session Minutes of February 5, 2018 Representative Youakim agreed that tax conformity will be an issue this year, along with the priority of healthcare. She noted that it would be helpful for her to get celebration stories from the community as she works through these issues. She also stated that non-profit giving is down because of the new tax laws. Representative Flanagan stated that she will continue to stand with communities, adding that she serves on the Property Tax Committee. She stated that there will be a lot of discussion around property tax and prohibiting TIF districts within 100 feet of a guide way. She said that this issue will be a take-away on development projects for cities. She added that a budget surplus or deficit will depend on the forecast, and public employee pensions will also be reviewed this year. Senator Latz noted that the current requirement for legal notices to be published in newspapers is being discussed now. He asked if this is an issue in St. Louis Park. Councilmember Brausen stated that community members have asked why the city publishes these items in the local Sun Sailor. Mr. Harmening noted that all legal notices are also published on the city website. Mayor Spano stated that Nextdoor is also a place where city notices and information are being posted. Councilmember Mavity stated that she supports keeping the information published in out-state newspapers in order to keep the free press up and running around the state. Senator Latz asked how bad the emerald ash borer situation is in St. Louis Park. Mr. Harmening stated that it is a matter of time before most of these trees will be gone, adding that the cost to dispose and replant will be significant. He said that those on public property will be replaced, but those on private property will not be replaced by the city. Currently, the city removes trees that are weak and most susceptible, adding that the city is also partnering with residents on injecting trees. Senator Latz also referred to the city’s record retention policy, adding that he introduced a bill in response to Hennepin County’s policy, which allows deletion of electronic information after 30 days. He added that more information on this will be forthcoming. Councilmember Miller noted that the council would be adopting an aggressive Climate Action Plan this evening during the council meeting and asked if the representatives have heard of any other cities that have adopted a climate action plan. Representative Flanagan stated that as we see the federal government back off on this issue, the states and cities will begin stepping in. Mr. Moore stated that the budget forecast will need to build in cost implications of the new tax laws and will also need to add in healthcare for children. He noted that this will be a difficult session. Ms. Tranter stated that right now everyone is waiting and watching what will happen with the budget in D.C. She added that all funding is stagnant until a continuing resolution is passed to fund the government. She stated that right now there is a fight to protect bonding. Councilmember Mavity asked if this means there will be no new funding, noting the SWLRT project. Ms. Tranter stated that everything is in a holding pattern right now, and there is no new money. She stated that once the funding goes through, it will be up to the administration which projects will be funded. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 3 Title: Special Study Session Minutes of February 5, 2018 Councilmember Mavity stated that she thought the funds were available but not authorized to be used yet. Representative Dorfman stated that there is a concern with this delay. It will need to be signed by the Governor, adding that it may not happen until next year. Councilmember Brausen asked if the infrastructure bill could actually pass. Ms. Tranter stated that it could happen, but many other things will need to happen first. It will be a modest plan. The council thanked the representatives for meeting with them and for their work on issues related to the community. The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m. Written Reports provided and documented for recording purposes only: 2.

The Nature Center is such an opportunity.” Mayor Spano noted on page 5 it should read, “….it would be a disservice to the people who have been involved in the process.” It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to approve the January 8, 2018 Special Study Session Minutes with changes The motion passed 7-0. 3b.

Public Hearings 6a. 2018 Pavement Management Project (4018-1000). Resolution No. 18-021 City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 4 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 Ms. Heiser provided an overview of the Living Streets Policy and the Climate Action Plan, noting that this year’s project will include recommendations related to the goals of these policies, including sidewalk installation; traffic management; street narrowing; tree preservation; and storm water management. She explained that at Vision 3.0 listening sessions, residents expressed the importance of sustainability. Mr. Wiesen presented the staff report. He noted that the annual Pavement Management Project rehabilitates several miles of local residential streets. This year, the project is located in Pavement Management Area 6 - in the Elmwood, Brooklawns, and Brookside Neighborhoods. Street rehabilitation work consists of removing and replacing the existing bituminous pavement and replacing portions of concrete curb and gutter as needed. Other work includes water main replacement and storm and sanitary sewer repairs. Mr. Weisen gave more detail about the project and discussed design considerations, street widths, and improvements. He stated that two open houses were conducted with residents. Mr. Manibog described the traffic study that was conducted, based on the neighborhood’s feedback from a meeting in February 2017. Data was collected regarding access to the neighborhoods; traffic in and out; volumes; speed and weight of vehicles. He noted that temporary traffic controls were installed from August–November, 2017. Traffic was monitored, and adjustments were made mid-study. The findings of the study showed reduction/elimination of cut-through traffic on private property and vehicle speed and volume reduction on Brunswick Avenue. He also noted that there was not an increase in cut through traffic from Oxford to Excelsior and mixed results related to speed on Zarthan Avenue. Mr. Manibog pointed out recommendations, including installing traffic circles on Brunswick Avenue, along with three curb extensions. Additionally, Aldersgate Church would have pavement closures; Oxford Avenue would be converted to a two-way; Wooddale would be restriped to include a left turn lane; and an all-way stop would be included at Oxford and Zarthan Avenues. Mr. Manibog also noted that parking modifications would occur at 36th Street and Brunswick Avenue, along with parking modifications near Nordic Ware and Jonny Pops. He also noted that the crosswalk on the west leg of the 36th and Alabama intersection met criteria for a marked crosswalk, and the two-ton signage would be removed as it is no longer needed. Mr. Wiesen stated that the total cost for the project is $5.5 million, and if approved, the project will begin in late April and be completed in November. Mayor Spano opened the public hearing. Nathan Walker, 3900 Zarthan Ave. S., stated that he is opposed to the sidewalk plan and the impacts on parking with the narrowing of 39th Street. He asked the council not to approve the installation of sidewalks on Alabama and Zarthan. He requested that the council approve narrowing 39th Street from Alabama to Zarthan to 28 feet, and installing 5-foot wide versus 6-foot wide sidewalks, noting that 5-foot wide will still accommodate snow removal equipment and will still be ADA compliant. He also asked the council to preserve parking on the south side of 39th Street. Dale Taterik, 5826 Cambridge St., stated that he has watched pedestrians on Zarthan at 6 a.m. and stated that there are very few walking there at that time. He also counted cars, adding that there are low numbers. He pointed out that it is unnecessary to put sidewalks there since there are low numbers of pedestrians and cars. He added he is concerned about City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 5 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 narrowing the streets as was done in Sorenson Neighborhood. While it is supposed to slow traffic, it actually makes it more hazardous, with more safety concerns. Brad Benson, 5900 West 39th St., stated that that he believes the truth is not being told about Oxford Avenue. He stated that eight residents spoke to staff at a meeting in September regarding driving down a two-way Oxford Avenue, adding that there is no way two cars could pass. He added that it would be difficult for one car to pass and harder still for a fire truck to pass, regardless of two- or one-side parking. He stated at the meeting Chief Harcey stated that it was not safe. He said that parking on one side has not been proposed or presented by the city in any communications and is not the final plan. It seems the city is trying to keep this plan secret, while residents in Elmwood are being kept in the dark. He stated this plan will impact residents who live on Oxford. Rick Boyd, 3904 Zarthan Ave., stated he has lived in St. Louis Park for 49 years and has walked to work at Minnesota Rubber for 36 of those years. He stated he walked with his kids in the street for many years, with no sidewalks. He stated that the city does not do a good job of plowing, and he would rather walk in the street. He stated that he is not in favor of putting in more sidewalks when the city does not take care of the ones that already exist. He added that the bridge over Highway 100 on Excelsior is a city plowed bridge, but many times his wife has walked over it, and it is not plowed. Roger Cruse, 3953 Xenwood Ave., stated that he lives close to Excelsior Boulevard. The last proposal he saw showed that Xenwood will be narrowed. He noted that if the street is narrowed, it will be very crowded, and he has concerns about cars making it through the street without being damaged. He stated that garbage and fire trucks are too wide, and it will be difficult for them to get through when cars are parked on both sides. He stated that it will be a less secure and safe street, and it would be very hard for him to get out of his driveway, especially with snow. Mr. Cruse added that these issues will be much worse with the street at 28 feet wide, and he asked the council to approve maintaining the 3900 block of Xenwood at 30 feet. Eric Knutson, 3764 Brunswick Ave., stated that he has been to most of the neighborhood meetings, and he did not hear anyone say they approved. He asked why this is moving forward if residents do not want it. With narrower streets, bikers could get hit by opening car doors or hit from behind. He stated that this project is a waste of taxpayer money. It is redundant and is a bad design. Christopher Daniels, 5901 Cambridge Ave., asked if any of the council members live in Elmwood Neighborhood. Mayor Spano stated that he lives close. Mr. Daniels stated that he loves the Elmwood Neighborhood and moved there 15 years ago. He stated that his kids learned to ride their bikes there, and he is afraid for them riding bikes there if the proposed changes go through. He is opposed to the narrowing of streets. He is also opposed to the two-way on Oxford and asked why the council wants to calm traffic when it is currently calm. He added that there will be an increase in traffic if Oxford becomes a two way, and it will not be calm. He stated that the council was wise 32 years ago when they made Oxford a one- way street. Marty Hiebe, 5820 Cambridge St., agreed with those who spoke before him, stating that the addition of sidewalks in a quiet neighborhood seems like a waste of taxpayer dollars. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 6 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 He stated that $5.5 million is a lot of money and added it would be better to pick a gravel alley each year and pave it. Larry Lessly, 3965 Brunswick Ave., stated that his wife got 24 signatures on a petition, and no one in the neighborhood is interested in sidewalks. Even if sidewalks were put in, folks would still walk in the street. Susan Bloomgren, 3961 Brunswick Ave., stated that she is in opposition to sidewalks. She stated that she was at the neighborhood meetings and heard staff say it is cheaper to do it now versus later. She added that sidewalks are not needed, so why add them at all. She stated it does not make sense to add sidewalks only because it is cheaper to do it now. J.W. Sterit, 1525 Goodrich Ave., stated that this is a reckless plan. While he appreciates staff’s approach, narrowing would be catastrophic and would break the flow of the street. He stated that some newer studies show that narrowing streets do not necessarily make them safer. He added that narrowing makes no sense. Adavici Wilson, 5826 Goodrich Ave., stated that she lives with her husband and two children and has concerns with Oxford becoming a two-way street. She stated that she understands the study shows a marginal increase in traffic, adding if this is the case, then the street should be kept as one-way, especially since it is near a park. She suggested putting all traffic on Alabama, adding that she believes the neighborhood traffic circles were hastily added on Zarthan at the end. Bob Tift, 3800 Brunswick Ave., stated that he has lived in St. Louis Park for 29 years and raised 4 sons in the neighborhood. He stated that he loves the neighborhood and formed the first neighborhood association with John Basil. He said that he understands this plan is to improve infrastructure. It is staff’s job to make recommendations to the council, adding that they have been fair and transparent. He stated that there has been plenty of opportunity for neighborhood feedback, and he believes the council has the best interests of the area in mind. He is fully supportive of moving forward, adding that he trusts the city engineers in this process. They have done a great job. David Dahl, 3977 Brunswick Ave., stated that he feels this will be a sidewalk to nowhere but is interested in the fiber optic being installed during this project. He stated that he opposes the sidewalk on Brookside and does not think sidewalks are needed. He asked that the council delay the project to look at building sidewalks that make more sense. Ryan Griffin, 4980 West 40th St., stated that he has two children that attend Kid Zone day care center, which is walkable from his home. He added that he does not live in the area being discussed tonight; however, he is in favor of the connectivity of sidewalks in St. Louis Park. He stated that sidewalks add value to homes and asked why streets should be wider than they need to be. He noted that the biggest safety issue is vehicle speed, and anything that can be done to calm traffic would be beneficial. He asked people to look at other ways to make streets safer, adding that he appreciates the efforts to save trees in the city, also, and sees them as a valuable asset. He stated that he is in full support of this plan. Katherine Teaking, 3091 Yosemite Ave., agreed that there is very little foot traffic along 39th between Yosemite and Xenwood. She asked if it is worth the expense to put sidewalks in this area and noted that if the street near her is narrowed, and a sidewalk is added, she City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 7 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 doesn’t know where the snow will go. She asked if there will be an added expense to clear and haul snow out of that area. Joel Coleman, 5900 Cambridge St., stated that he is recently new to St. Louis Park and bought a house in Elmwood. He stated he loves the neighbors. It is a small neighborhood with little traffic. He stated that he looks forward to having his kids grow up there and hopes the narrowing of the street and two-way traffic will not make it hard for him to get out of his driveway, with more cars to deal with. Steve Flatten, 5901 Oxford, has lived here for over 30 years, and stated that the two-way will be a big mistake. He added that he sees lots of cars roll through the stop signs, also. Andrew Meyer, 3974 Brunswick Ave., stated that this will be a sidewalk to nowhere, and he highly recommends dropping this piece. He stated that he has lived here for 39 years, and it has never been a problem. Why not fix the bridge over Highway 7 instead. Noelle Racette, 4900 Vallacher Ave., stated that 20 different people have spoken on this issue tonight, and only 3 are in favor of it. She stated that she would request that the council not decide on this tonight. Brad Benson, 5900 West 39th St., stated that he has concerns about the fire station with this plan and suggested that there be a better way to exit from Highway 100. He stated that the city is waiting for SWLRT, not knowing if it will ever happen. Mayor Spano closed the public hearing. Councilmember Mavity stated that this has been a year and a half process, adding that she has had many conversations with residents on this project. She added that the vision has been to have more walkable neighborhoods, stating also that there is a distinction between infrastructure and traffic controls. Traffic controls can be added after the fact. Councilmember Mavity stated that she supports closing the Aldersgate road because it is a public road that empties into private space. And closing Aldersgate makes her want to support a two-way on Oxford in order to allow residents another way into their neighborhood. She added that she will rely on the recommendations of the engineers to slow traffic on Brunswick. Councilmember Mavity added that she supports the tree canopy there and recommends removing the short segment of sidewalk on Dakota. She stated that regarding 39th Street, she would like to be flexible about narrowing sidewalks to 5 feet if needed to preserve trees and allow residents to park in their driveways, adding that narrowing streets will be essential for people to use their own driveways. She noted that all of these decisions are being made for the next 50 – 100 years, so we need to think to the future on this project. Councilmember Mavity noted that the tree canopy and retaining trees on Zarthan Avenue are important. She also supports walkability along Zarthan. She pointed out that the infrastructure will allow future changes to reduce the amount of traffic there. She also noted that she supports having sidewalks at Goodrich and Colorado and asked staff consideration to include a curb cut to connect to the sidewalk across the street. Councilmember Brausen stated that he appreciates all the residents’ concerns, adding that change in neighborhoods is always difficult. He stated that even though there has been opposition to sidewalk projects over the years, since sidewalks have been added in various areas, residents do love and use them. They walk and stop to talk to their neighbors. He City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 8 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 stated that sidewalks are necessary to move people, and roads are necessary to move bikes and cars and for parking. Living Streets is about making the whole community livable. He stated that he is totally supportive of this plan and asked the residents opposed to it, to give it a chance. Councilmember Hallfin stated that the city does a pavement management project every year in different areas, and sidewalks are a part of the project scope. He pointed out that the council listens to residents’ comments and appreciates people coming to the meeting, adding that the council will make adjustments to the project. He added that the majority of people who were initially opposed to sidewalks are in favor of them once they are installed. He asked everyone to give the plan a chance. Councilmember Harris stated that staff has received direction from council to narrow streets, add sidewalks, and make changes in conjunction with the Living Streets Policy, which will help to connect people. Councilmember Miller expressed his concern regarding the recommended parking restrictions on streets narrowed to less than 28 feet wide, specifically on 39th from Alabama to Webster and on Zarthan from 39th to Oxford, as it is a hardship to not be able to park a car in front of a person’s own house. He added that there are other streets within the city that were less than 28 feet wide and have parking allowed on both sides of the street. Ms. Heiser confirmed Councilmember Miller’s statement regarding existing streets. It was moved by Councilmember Miller, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to amend the project to allow parking on both sides of the street on 39th from Alabama to Webster and on Zarthan from 39th to Oxford - segments #26, 28, 30, 39, 41, 43, and 45. Councilmember Brausen and Hallfin spoke against the motion, supporting staff recommendations to restrict parking. Mavity felt that this action should not be taken until staff could take a closer look at the policy to sign streets less than 28 feet wide as one side no parking. Councilmember Harris agreed that staff should have an opportunity to review the policy and get back to the council before taking action on the parking restrictions. Ms. Heiser indicated that staff would need time to do a complete inventory of all of the streets within the city to catalogue street widths and parking restrictions. This information could then be reviewed by the Fire, Police and Operations & Recreation Departments and reported back to the council with staff recommendations. The motion did not pass 2-5 (Councilmembers Rog, Mavity, Hallfin, Harris, Brausen opposed). Councilmember Miller stated that he has been to many of these neighborhood meetings, adding that many people won’t speak at a public hearing because they do not want to differ from their neighbors. He noted that the council is trying to understand the balance. He thanked staff for their incredible job working with neighbors. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 9 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 Councilmember Rog stated that she supports this project and read all the neighbors’ comments. They did have an impact. She also acknowledged those neighbors who had some fear of speaking out tonight and understands it is a very emotional issue. Mayor Spano thanked the residents for speaking. He noted that he lives in Brooklawn and is familiar with the challenges in the area. He thanked staff and expressed appreciation for their work. He agreed that some people who did not approve of sidewalks in their neighborhoods, are now very happy with them. He stated that the council understands the concerns of the neighbors; however, he noted that many more people would walk if sidewalks were available to them. He stated that he will support this plan, and asked residents to continue to engage the council. It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt Resolution No. 18-021, accepting the project report, establishing the 2018 Pavement Management Project (4018-1000) approving plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisements for bids, along with removal of sidewalk segments #15 and #6; adding a curb cut for sidewalk segment #19; and flexibility on narrowing sidewalks to 5 feet to accommodate parking in driveways on #39 through #45. The motion passed 7-0. 7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None 8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items 8a. Climate Action Plan. Resolution No. 18-022 Ms. Pinc presented the staff report. She noted that the Climate Action Plan was developed in partnership with the Environment and Sustainability Commission; iMatter; additional community volunteers; and city staff. At the study session on January 29, 2018, the city council directed staff to move ahead with formal adoption of the plan. Mr. Griffin stated that St. Louis Park is embarking on becoming a leader in climate action, because progress is not being made on a national level. He stated that the cost of not doing anything at this time is human health, air pollution, and transmittable diseases. He added that 2.5% of cardiovascular issues are related to carbon emissions, with the elderly and children most affected. Mr. Wrede stated that it has been two years since the climate resolution was adopted by the council, noting that it is the most aggressive in the state and puts St. Louis Park on a national level. He stated that the Roots and Shoots organization is doing amazing things. They are stakeholders in the CAP. He said he is not worried about St. Louis Park in years to come as students will continue the work. He added that he knows the council shares the students’ vision, and he thanked them. Mr. Wrede stated that the students are here to help the council and the city on this initiative, and to make this shared vision and goal a reality together. Mr. Griffin stated that the Climate Action Plan goals include climate neutrality by 2040 and 100% renewable electricity by 2030. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 10 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 Councilmember Brausen noted that this is a far-reaching and very challenging plan, with goals and strategies to reduce emissions. He stated that climate neutrality is a big step, which will require us all to make changes. He added that government can lead, but we all have to do our part. While it won’t be easy, it is time to change for the sustenance of the planet. He stated that he supports the CAP. It is the right thing to do. Councilmember Miller thanked everyone for developing the CAP, especially the students. He added that the city will look to the students to carry this into the future, as they will inherit this earth. He noted the hard part will be making the CAP a reality, especially when discussing costs. He stated that incentives will need to be put in place, and residents and businesses will need to play large roles. Councilmember Harris thanked all involved and said that the Climate Action Plan is exciting. She commended the youth and the Environment and Sustainability Commission, who started with Partners in Energy, Mr. Griffin, and Ms. Cindy Olson O’Neil. She also thanked Ms. Pinc for her staff work. She agreed with Councilmember Miller that choosing to move forward on the CAP is the easy part. She looks forward to working alongside the council and residents to make this a reality. Councilmember Rog thanked the adults and youth involved, agreeing that the CAP is a priority for our future. She stated that she looks forward to aligning the council’s decisions around climate action, adding that community action and education will be very important. Councilmember Mavity agreed that today’s vote is easy, adding that the youth helped the city council see what is needed. She stated that the hard part will be making decisions to move the CAP forward, adding that the city council will need to be kept accountable. She added that additional creativity is needed moving forward, as well. Councilmember Hallfin thanked the group, stating that the former two chairs of the Environment and Sustainability Commission are now on the council – Councilmembers Brausen and Harris. He stated that there is a reason that the council takes this all very seriously, and we need to move forward now. Anna Casper stated that she supports the Climate Action Plan and thanked everyone for their time. She stated that she will continue to help leading the way and create her own legacy related to the CAP. Katie Christiansen, 8812 W 35th St., a new member on the Environment and Sustainability Commission, thanked the council for recognizing this issue and challenged the residents of St. Louis Park to be part of the initiative. Patty O’Keefe, President of the St. Louis Park High School Sierra Club, stated that she supports the Climate Action Plan and the approach of the council listening to young people. She stated this will be a model for other cities around the state. She and the Sierra Club support adding more language and ideas to be sure the implementation of the plan is equitable. She thanked the youth and Roots and Shoots, adding that she is so proud of St. Louis Park. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 11 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 Judy Checker, 2260 Ridge Drive S., #32, wrote a letter read by one of the students. Ms. Checker stated that she applauds and thanks the students, and has great pride in St. Louis Park’s leaders. She also asked for implementation to be equitable. Steve Oman, 4121 Forest Rd., Forest Lake, works in the solar power industry and is a solar garden subscriber and a believer in renewable energy. He stated that incentives are good but are not gaining momentum yet. He added that convincing St. Louis Park residents to subscribe to solar will require leadership and will be a great opportunity. It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Harris, to adopt Resolution No. 18-022, approving the Climate Action Plan for the City of St. Louis Park. The motion passed 7-0. 8b. Construction of Fastpitch Fields at Aquila Park. Resolution No. 18-023 Ms. Walsh presented the staff report. She noted that construction will begin as soon as weather permits, with the goal to seed the site in August or early September of 2018. New fields will not be played on until fall of 2019. Councilmember Brausen noted that he still opposes this project and will be voting against it. Councilmember Miller thanked staff for working on grants for this project and the softball association for doing a large amount of fundraising to create this softball complex for the city’s girls, adding that he sees this as a gender equity issue. Councilmember Rog stated that she is very happy to vote for this project and congratulated the association on their perseverance. Councilmember Hallfin stated he will also support this project. Councilmember Harris stated she is appreciative that the city will be adding facilities for girls’ sports, adding that the city may want to consider leasing the fields in the future for high school teams to use. Mr. Harmening added that there will be a neighborhood meeting related to the conditional use permit for this project on February 13 at 6 p.m. at the Municipal Service Center on Oxford Street.

She added that she would appreciate staff continuing to look into this. It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt Ordinance No. 2530-18, amending the St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter Sec.12.04 related to Campaign Finance Contributions. The motion passed 7-0. 8e.

He stated that he does not support this resolution, which limits the number of off-sale intoxicating liquor licenses issued in St. Louis Park. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 13 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 5, 2018 It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt Resolution No. 18-026, revising Resolution No. 17-196 limiting the number of off-sale intoxicating liquor licenses issued in St. Louis Park.

Future Study Session Agenda Planning – February 20 & 26, 2018 Mr. Harmening presented the proposed Study Session agenda for February 20 and 26, 2018. Councilmember Mavity asked about the March 12 meeting date, and how it will be handled since 3 councilmembers will not be in attendance that evening. Mr. Harmening stated that the Bridgewater discussion will be moved to March 26. He added that he will shuffle topics, and if the discussions for March 12 need to be moved to a different date, he will make those changes. Mayor Spano stated that he prefers the joint meeting with the school board to be held on a different day so that he can attend. Councilmember Rog asked why there is another 45-minute discussion on the new solid waste contract scheduled. Mr. Harmening stated that the 5-year contract will expire, so all proposals, including cost considerations, must be reviewed with the council before April 1 in order to prepare for the new contract start date of September 30. 2. Proposed Tenant Protection Ordinance and NOAH Preservation Workgroup Initiatives Ms. Schnitker explained that at the September 25, 2017, council study session, staff presented a draft ordinance that would implement an Advance Notice of Sale requirement for owners of multi- family residential rental buildings. The ordinance required owners to give advance notice to the city prior to entering into a purchase agreement for the sale of the building. Staff also provided an update on the status of several other NOAH preservation strategies being considered by the council, along with a summary of the input from the two rental community meetings. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 2 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Council directed staff to convene a workgroup with representatives from Minnesota Multi-housing Association; the St. Louis Park rental industry; and representatives from agencies advocating for NOAH preservation strategies to discuss strategies being considered by the council and determine if there is middle ground for a workable solution. Ms. Schnitker stated that the workgroup met three times, generated several strategies for preservation, and reached general agreement to move forward. She noted that tonight the council would review a draft ordinance implementing a three-month tenant protection policy for NOAH property residents when there is a transfer of ownership. Staff will also provide council with an update on the Legacy Program, which encourages owners to transfer ownership of their NOAH properties to preservation buyers. Councilmember Miller asked staff to explain the 4D tax classification. Ms. Schnitker stated that it is a property tax classification for properties that have received funding from a government agency, and they must then provide rent restricted units. The owner receives a lower tax classification on the rent restricted units. She added that the benefit to the property owner is $40 per month per unit in tax savings. She noted this tax savings is provided by the state to owners. Councilmember Miller stated he assumes the workgroup is in favor of the ordinance. Ms. Schnitker stated yes, in general they are supportive. Councilmember Mavity asked about the 90-day notice and when it is triggered. Ms. Schnitker stated that it starts on the first of the month following the month in which the owner sends out the required notice Councilmember Miller asked what constitutes ownership change. Mr. Mattick stated it is when there is a title transfer. Councilmember Brausen asked about a clear definition for affordable housing, and if it is necessary. Ms. Schnitker stated that it is strictly defined by the rent amount, utilizing the HUD rent indexes and not the individual household income of residents. Councilmember Brausen stated he would prefer there is clarity around “affordable,” so everyone knows what that means. Councilmember Brausen asked how long the 90-day notice is binding. Mr. Mattick stated after 91 days, there are no tenant protections. With regard to relocation costs for tenants, if the owner is in violation, they will pay the relocation costs, plus a $500 penalty. Councilmember Mavity asked if the landlord does not pay the relocation costs within 30 days, can the fines be increased. Councilmember Harris asked also if this could be tied to the landlord’s rental licensing. Mr. Mattick stated that the rental license could be revoked; however, he reminded the council that if the landlord’s license is taken away, if affects everyone living in that building. Councilmember Mavity understood this but stated that she wants to be sure the landlord will not repeat the violation. Councilmember Brausen stated he is totally supportive of this ordinance and thanked staff and the workgroup for their work. Councilmember Rog said that she, too, is in support of the ordinance. She stated that it moves the city in the right direction, adding that high impact solutions will take an investment of city resources. She noted that the city could incentivize more building and also fund more avenues to home ownership. She added that the city needs to get bolder with inclusionary housing and to look at servicing those in lower housing brackets. She thanked the group for their work. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 3 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Councilmember Mavity added that she too is grateful to staff and the workgroup for this process, adding it is a real model on how the city does its work. She stated as the city moves forward, she wants to make sure the voices of the tenants who are impacted are at the discussion table. Ms. Schnitker noted that there are tenant advocates participating in the work group. Councilmember Hallfin asked if there were other issues noted, aside from Meadowbrook. Ms. Schnitker stated there were no other issues that staff was aware of. Councilmember Hallfin appreciated the work done, adding that it makes perfect sense to him and is a good first step. Councilmember Harris thanked the staff and workgroup for their proactive approach of getting multiple groups together, stating that she was impressed with their efforts. She stated that she has met with residents and noted that the city has more to do, especially with many in Ward 3 who are low-income families. She stated that these people need more help, and the ordinance is a great first step. She supports the ordinance and looks forward to more discussion. Councilmember Miller stated that he is also supportive and asked if the 90 days was increased to 180 days, would that change the workgroup’s perception. He stated that he doesn’t feel 90 days is enough time, adding there are many vulnerable people in our city. Ms. Schnitker replied saying that is a significant change, and the workgroup would need to reconvene to discuss that further. Councilmember Miller asked about the financial incentive for legacy transfer. Ms. Schnitker stated that she is not able to answer that yet, but noted that it is a way to preserve NOAH properties. Many owners said they like their tenants and would like to see their property remain a NOAH property. A workgroup is meeting in March to begin work on this strategy. Mayor Spano said that he is also supportive and appreciative of the work done. He added that it is a good first step. He added Minneapolis Mayor Frey will be working to implement tenant protection regionally, and St. Louis Park is now ahead of the game. He stated that we need other communities around us to do the same. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Councilmember Mavity noted the legacy program and tenant protections, asking staff if the city lets people know about notice times in their own languages. Ms. Schnitker stated that prior to the July effective date, the city will inform owners of the ordinance and give them a packet of information, with the option for translation available if needed by calling the city. Councilmember Mavity added that the 4d tax classification makes sense, adding that she wants to be cognizant of protections for tenants. She pointed out that the “non-renewal for cause” may not be the best option, and the city will need to be cautious. Councilmember Rog stated that at the end of the year, it would be helpful to know how many people were impacted. Councilmember Harris asked how many buildings in St. Louis Park are NOAH. Councilmember Miller noted that there are 71 B and C classes. Ms. Schnitker added that C class buildings are typically NOAH buildings. Councilmember Harris asked how many property owners are aware of these proactive tenant protections. Ms. Schnitker stated that they should all be aware because there were two open meetings for owners, and about 60 owners attended. She added that staff has also received emails and phone calls from owners. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 4 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Councilmember Miller stated that he would like staff to look at rehab financing, as well as legacy transfer and more ways to directly invest in this issue. He stated that it is the city’s responsibility to provide relief and to help our residents find more ways to relieve financial strains. Councilmember Brausen added that the city has a high percentage of affordable housing in both the single-family homes and condo markets. He asked for strategies for the city to assist in the multi-family residential rental market, also. Ms. Schnitker stated that the city currently has two affordable home programs and that a plan to explore expansion of these programs is on staff’s work plan for 2018. Councilmember Rog noted Oxford Crossing in Hopkins, which is 100% workforce housing. She asked why St. Louis Park had not been approached on a similar project near the light rail. Ms. Schnitker stated that we have been contacted by both Project for Pride in Living and Aeon to discuss possible housing development sites. Councilmember Mavity pointed out that workforce housing is actually affordable housing, adding that PLACE approached the city about affordable housing near the light rail, and the city accepted the proposal. Mr. Harmening stated that this topic will come back to the council for the first reading March 5 and will be effective July 1. 3. Request for Funding for the SLP Nest Ms. Barton noted the report and introduced Mr. Wrede, St. Louis Park High School student, and Ms. Schmelzer, parent volunteer. Ms. Schmelzer provided an update on the activities relating to the creation of the SLP Nest and stated that the group of high school students has organized to become a 501(c)(3) non-profit. She added that they have built awareness and created important community partnerships, raising over $7,000 in donations to date. The students have created a brand logo and tagline; entered into the preliminary business agreement with Muddy Paws Cheesecake Company; and partnered with the school district’s College and Career Office to design accredited internships for students involved in the SLP Nest. Mr. Wrede spoke about the group’s vision, mission and purpose for The Nest - allowing and encouraging expression for all students in St. Louis Park. He stated that The Nest will support students, and students will want to make it their own at this crucial stage of their lives. Ms. Schmelzer stated that the plan is to open their doors on September 4, 2018, adding they are looking at three options – Library Lane, West Lake Street, and Wooddale – all locations within walking distance of the high school. She stated that they are in the process of making presentations to community non-profits, including Park Nicollet Foundation, St. Louis Park Rotary, Hennepin County, and other community groups, including the city council tonight. Ms. Schmelzer stated that they are asking the council for seed money of $25,000 to fund rental costs for the first year of operation and will also be asking the school board for funding. Councilmember Miller stated that he has been working as an advisor to the group, and it has been an enjoyable experience. He stated that seed money is critical to helping the group take the next steps. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 5 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Councilmember Rog added that she is excited about this idea and appreciates the power of seed money to get a project going. She stated that it is the council’s right, responsibility, and duty to help fund this project. Councilmember Brausen stated that he is supportive of The Nest but is uncomfortable with the council providing the funding for one year of rent. He added, however, that assuming it is seed money, he would be in favor. Councilmember Harris thanked the students and parents for their work, adding that it is an exciting project. She stated that she is learning about all the non-profit groups that come to the council with monetary requests, and did some investigation into The Depot to learn more about how this might work. She stated that it is a big idea, and she wants to hear more about it, along with their plan for future funding. She noted that there might be opportunities to eliminate overhead costs by utilizing already existing public buildings in the city versus renting and renovating. She suggested the Lennox Community Center as an option. Mr. Wrede noted that the Lennox building would not feel like it was the students’ own, and they would hope to create their own space in their own location. Ms. Schmelzer added that the location must be within walking distance of the high school, and that is why they are looking in the Walker Lake area. She noted that they would need $200,000 total on an annual basis to keep The Nest running, including having a part-time staff person. Later an executive director and full-time staff person would be added. Councilmember Mavity stated that she loves that the group is so entrepreneurial; however, she has concerns with the implementation. She stated that in some ways, the group is asking the council to be a venture capitalist and take a high risk here. She noted that when the council is asked for funding, usually they are already well-established non-profit organizations. She stated a $200,000 budget is a heavy lift, and she has concerns. She asked if the group had talked with “Open for Business” yet. Ms. Schmelzer stated that they have. Councilmember Mavity stated that the school board providing money will be a challenge, as well. She stated that she needs more clarity on what this means long-term. Would there be an annual request to the city or just this initial request for seed money? Is there a plan in place to replace that? Ms. Schmelzer stated that the group would anticipate coming back each year for a couple of years. After three years, they would have resources lined up. She stated that they are continuing to work on pursuing future funding; however, they are not certain what that will look like yet. She stated that they hope to find a place first and then pursue the funding. Councilmember Mavity stated that she is concerned about the sustainability of the business model. While she is not opposed to taking risks, if the council approves this, she would want it to be contingent on the group raising matching dollars. Ms. Schmelzer added that the matching component may also spur folks on to donate more. Councilmember Hallfin stated that $25,000 is not a lot of money and is within the discretionary spending limit of the City Manager. He said this is a great unknown. He is torn but appreciates all the work that has been done. He added that since he was in high school, many projects like this have come and gone in the city. While it’s a great idea, similar ones have failed time and time again. He stated that he is not saying that he will not support the council giving financial help, but the group has no track record and other requesting non-profits do. Councilmember Miller agreed that the group is asking the council to take a gamble on this idea. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 6 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Mayor Spano stated he is in favor of providing the $25,000 for one year but added that the council will treat the group like young adults. They will be under a level of scrutiny by the council, as are all non-profits who request this type of assistance from the city. He added that the council wants the group to be successful, but added that the council needs to rely on their past experience. Mayor Spano stated he has spoken to the Hopkins mayor and also the person who runs The Depot. The Depot has four different funding partners, who provide 70% of their operating capital. He stated that he is not sure the group can be successful without the school district, and the city cannot be their only public support. He added that foot traffic is very critical to The Depot’s business, as well. He asked if this is a student-focused program, what happens in the summer. What happens if Muddy Paws pulls out of the project at a later date? What happens if the draw is not there to help bring youth in? He noted that he is glad that the group will speak to the school district and rotary, and he offered a contact to them from Twin West and Friends of the Arts as well. He stated that he is fine with providing the $25,000 seed money for one year, but with the understanding that they return and explain to the council how they will get the rest of the money needed. He added that it seems like a lot of work to meet the opening date of September 4. Mr. Harmening asked when they would need the $25,000 from the city. Ms. Schmelzer stated most likely in June or July, depending on the lease agreement. Mr. Harmening stated that he is hearing varying levels of support from the council. He said that staff will come up with a draft agreement, with benchmarks for gathering other matching monies and an established set of rules. This agreement will then be brought to the council for review. Ms. Schmelzer added that the students are becoming entrepreneurs and setting up a Go Fund Me page. She stated that they need a place where they can put down their cell phones and work on becoming better humans, and they hope to use this space to do that. 4. SLP Park Ventures, LLC’s Application for TIF Assistance – Platia Place Apts & Hotel Mr. Hunt presented the report. This project is proposed at 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd. and is an application to the EDA for consideration of a purchase and redevelopment contract to reimburse the developer for up to $3,474,000 in extraordinary site preparation costs through TIF, generated by the apartment and hotel projects outlined in the staff report. Mr. Stoddard noted that the project is at the former Santorini Restaurant site at the northwest quadrant of Highways 394 and 169. The project will be a six-story hotel and six-story apartment with 149 units, 15 of which will be affordable at 10% or 50% AMI. Mr. Stoddard added that the hotel will have 100 rooms. Mr. Hunt stated that with this redevelopment, the preliminary plat and PUD will come back in March to the council for final approval. He also noted that the area has poor structural soils on top of a water bed, so the buildings will have pilings. He added that the city is hoping to maximize the potential on this site, and therefore was not interested in a single-story height building. This project meets with that vision. Mr. Stoddard thanked staff and the council and noted that SLP Park Ventures will need TIF in order to move forward with this project. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 7 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Councilmember Brausen stated that the 10% affordable is acceptable. The request seems like a reasonable amount on the city’s bonding dollars, and he will support the TIF. Councilmember Miller also was in favor, adding that while he typically prefers low-density projects, this is an exception. He wondered why they are not able to construct a taller building there. Mr. Stoddard stated that anything over 7 stories is not in demand. It is also more difficult to find a lender who will support this type of project because of the construction costs. Councilmember Rog thanked Mr. Stoddard for including the 10% affordable housing, which is the minimum required. She asked if he could provide more three-bedroom units, which would be very helpful to families in St. Louis Park. Mr. Stoddard stated that they put in five 3-bedroom units, and 1 is affordable, but that is all that is required. Typically, they are more difficult to rent. Councilmember Harris stated what was presented is a great investment, and she is in support of the TIF request. Councilmember Mavity and Mayor Spano were also both in favor of the TIF request. Councilmember Rog pointed out with the recent passage of the city’s Climate Action Plan, the city is now positioned to adhere to our commitments, and the developers should be advised of this, as well. Mr. Hunt replied that the developers are aware of our green building policy. They are at 70% more compliance currently than what the Climate Action Plan calls for at this time. Mr. Stoddard added that the apartments will be solar ready, and both apartments and hotel will have electrical charger stations and DORA. Mayor Pro Tem Mavity (Mayor Spano stepped out of the room) stated that it is the consensus of the council to move forward with next steps on this project. Mr. Hunt stated that staff will bring business terms and the final contract for formal approval, including the final PUD and Preliminary Plat approvals, to the council at a future date. 5. Louisiana Avenue Preliminary Layout Discussion – Project No. 4018-1700 Mr. Shamla presented the staff report. He noted that in 2019 the Louisiana Avenue Bridge over Minnehaha Creek is proposed to be replaced, along with the rehabilitation of Louisiana Avenue between Louisiana Circle and Excelsior Boulevard. Mr. Shamla explained that a corridor study was done just north of Oxford Street to ensure the bridge reconstruction project fits well with the future SWLRT and with the station area redevelopment study. Kimley Horn has developed a preliminary layout for the entire corridor. The scope of the project includes: • Bridge Replacement • Construction of a trail connection under Louisiana Avenue at Minnehaha Creek • Street reconstruction • Bikeway along Louisiana Avenue (cycle track) City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 8 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 • Sidewalk reconstruction • Streetlight replacement • Intersection updates at Louisiana Circle and Oxford Street • Water main replacement • Storm sewer replacement Mr. Shamla stated that total project costs are $11,222,800, and funding will be provided by a combination of MSA, pavement management funds, state bonding funds, utility funds, and General Obligation Bonds. He continued that the project is proposed to be constructed in three phases. Councilmember Mavity asked about the golf course and if there is a trail there to connect to the creek. Ms. Heiser stated that Minnehaha Creek Watershed is interested in building a connection to Excelsior; however it would not fit under the Excelsior Avenue Bridge. She noted that this design would make things ready to connect to the creek. Councilmember Mavity asked where the bike trail would connect. Ms. Heiser stated that she will get that information to the council. Mr. Shamla stated that traffic on Louisiana is 13,000 vehicles per day and projected to go up to 19,000. The street is currently not wide enough to accommodate a bikeway, and the recommended design would cost about $1,580,000. Mr. Harmening stated that to provide a bikeway on Louisiana Avenue would require widening the street. Councilmember Brausen asked since Louisiana is a state aid road if there would be substantial funding from the state for the project. Ms. Heiser stated yes, and staff is actively pursuing it. She added that the majority of funding will be paid from state aid funds and General Obligation Bonds. Mr. Harmening added funding requests for this project will require the city to borrow against future allocations. Councilmember Hallfin stated that this project was on the agenda at the retreat and has been in planning for a while. He said that he hopes the city’s share of costs will be lower than the $11 million, adding he likes the possible calming effect of the roundabout at the hospital entrance. He asked how old the current bridge is and how long the new bridge would last. Mr. Shamla stated that the old one is 50 years old, and the new one would last about 70+ years. Councilmember Rog asked about access to the trail from Meadowbrook and providing a connection to the ERA Apartments. Ms. Heiser stated that staff is still working to contact ERA to discuss it. Councilmember Rog stated that in line with the city’s racial equity goals, we will need to make sure that access to the trail is a priority. Mr. Harmening stated that there is currently access. Ms. Heiser said that there is also a bridge at the MSC, which is maintained by the city. Councilmember Miller asked if the height of the bridge decision is urgent. Ms. Heiser stated yes, and with the trail under the bridge. Mr. Harmening also pointed out that it will be important to do more cost benefit analysis of roundabouts versus signals. Councilmember Harris asked how bikeways work in the roundabout. Ms. Heiser pointed out that there is a slip ramp/trail that a biker can drive into in a roundabout to be safe from traffic. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 9 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Councilmember Brausen agreed with the proposed plan, noting that this is a major thoroughfare, and he is in favor of lights versus two roundabouts there. Mayor Spano stated that the phase 2 timing will not occur until SWLRT is constructed. Ms. Heiser also pointed out that with one of Methodist Hospital’s entrances on this corridor, access to the hospital will need to be maintained. This will need to be coordinated in the SWLRT project. Ms. Heiser stated staff will bring this back to council at the public hearing on March 5. 6. Update on Activities/Initiatives in Historic Walker-Lake Area Ms. Heiser introduced Mike McGarvey and Shawn Gergens, landscape architects with SRF Consulting. Mr. McGarvey presented the preliminary plan ideas to the council for review. He pointed out opportunities for public art; rail corridor screening; pedestrian crossing; streetscape character; a potential pedestrian street area (woonerf); green alley; stormwater; lighting and furnishings. Mr. McGarvey also noted a plan for bicycle facilities along Wooddale and Lake Street; a mini roundabout at the Wooddale and Lake Street intersection for slowing traffic; and potential public gathering space. Councilmember Harris appreciated the bikeway on Lake Street and asked for clarification of the bikeway design. Ms. Heiser stated that in order to be consistent for the corridor, the bikeway installed would be one or the other. Councilmember Rog stated the plan was exciting to see. She loves the woonerf but doesn’t see any additional sidewalks proposed. Mr. McCarthy pointed out that there are sidewalks along the east side of Lake Street near the stadium, with a connection to the stadium. Councilmember Rog liked the ideas and recommended small businesses; historic signage; partnering with the historical society for landscaping; and a railroad track barrier. She added that this plan will be such a bonus for STEP clients, as well. Councilmember Miller stated that this is a very exciting first step and liked all the elements. He stated that he likes the head-in parking, as it goes well with this area, and the idea of historic lighting; historic furniture; and enhanced branding, with plaques which display the area’s history. He likes the roundabout and approves of anything to enhance slowing traffic there. He added that he likes the sidewalks near the stadium and would like to see more businesses in the area, also. Councilmember Harris stated that part of this is in Ward 3, and she is very interested. The design is exciting, and she likes the idea that the area will be walkable. It is a tremendous facelift to the area. She asked what the green alley is. Mr. McCarthy stated that the green alley space is a way to facilitate storm water treatment and add elements of green space or narrow areas of plants and infiltration. Councilmember Brausen liked the concepts and design ideas, adding that he is interested in the price tags, as well. Ms. Heiser stated that staff will come back with costs and potential funding after working through the design with stakeholders. Councilmember Mavity stated that she generally likes the concepts, the businesses, and the green alley. She asked what redevelopment possibilities are in this area. She wants to be sure there is enough street structure and a way to draw people - like perhaps a dog run or park, food trucks, or City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 10 Title: Study Session Minutes of February 12, 2018 Farmer’s Markets on the green space. Mr. Harmening also pointed out the large green space and the stadium area as places that can be utilized on game days. Mr. Harmening noted that this can be discussed further in the meeting with the school district. Councilmember Rog added that the city needs to be proactive around Central Community Center, especially with the Spanish Immersion School leaving soon. Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal) Councilmember Brausen noted the CDBG written report and stated in the future the council will need to look at food security issues, along with affordable housing. Mayor Spano asked if the new solid waste contract will have any impact on residents’ utility bills. Mr. Harmening stated that it depends on the contract the city enters into for solid waste collection in October, adding that the council will have an opportunity to review it. Councilmember Brausen stated that the city should look at the option of doing organics recycling here in St Louis Park. Mr. Harmening disagreed, stating that would be problematic with the high volume of trucks and the smell that would be created. Mr. Harmening distributed a list of subject priorities for meeting agendas for upcoming council meetings. He noted that items could be added. The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. Written Reports provided and documented for recording purposes only: 7. Proposed Allocation of 2018 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 8.

Temporary Suspension of Local Gambling Tax ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Jake Spano, Mayor Meeting: City Council Meeting Date: March 5, 2018 Minutes: 3d UNOFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL STUDY SESSION ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA FEBRUARY 20, 2018 The meeting convened at 6:20 p.m. Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Rachel Harris, Anne Mavity, Thom Miller, and Margaret Rog. Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), City Clerk (Ms. Kennedy), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas). 1. Off-Sale Intoxicating Liquor Study Ms. Deno gave the staff report. She noted that the city council adopted Resolution 17-196, limiting the number of off-sale intoxicating liquor licenses. At the time of adoption, there were 15 licensed off-sale liquor stores in the city. She noted that the 2018 liquor license renewal process is underway, and 13 of the 15 current establishments have submitted renewal applications. Jennings Liquor Store and Sam’s Club did not submit applications for renewal. This changes the number of off-sale licenses in the city to 13. Ms. Deno stated that on February 5, 2018, the council modified the resolution adjusting the number of licenses from 15 to 13. Councilmember Mavity stated that her main concern in looking at the city zoning map is that the length of Excelsior Blvd, especially at Excelsior and Grand and the Ellipse area, allows for big box liquor stores. She stated that she has concerns because the area is supposed to be walkable and pedestrian-friendly and, big box stores are not conducive to that vision and seem to go against the concept of what the city wants to create. Mayor Spano stated that former Councilmember Lindberg also had concerns about the concentration of liquors stores in the Knollwood area. Mayor Spano added that he has similar concerns and was in favor of capping the square footage of stores, but the council had difficulty agreeing on what the maximum size should be. Councilmember Brausen stated that the council has looked at this issue for 3 years, adding that the market has regulated itself without the council controlling it. He noted that the city had far more on-sale liquor licenses and they were not discussing imposing further restrictions on these types of licenses. He stated he felt very strongly that the council should not dictate consumer habits. He added that he did not see a reason to fear a business like Total Wine moving into the city because the business provides good jobs with fair wages and benefits to their employees. He stated that a larger store in one area may also reduce traffic in another area, adding that he does not see the Excelsior and Grand area as being that walkable in its current state. He explained that parking and traffic were not enough of a concern in a commercial district to consider limiting businesses, adding that when the Police Department was previously asked they told the council there was no public safety reason to limit the number of off-sale licenses. He noted that when he asked for public comment on this issue, he only received one response from a person asking why the council is restricting licenses. He reiterated that he would like to allow market forces to regulate this type of business. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 2 Title: Special Study Session Minutes of February 20, 2018 Councilmember Mavity stated that some places in the city are more appropriate for big box retail, such as the West End. She added that the city may have to look into changing the types of uses that are allowed in a C-2 zoning district. She asked what downtown Hopkins does to keep big box stores out of that area and if St. Louis Park could do something similar, and possibly redefine the zoning code. She added that she feels the council’s role is to represent what their constituents want in the community. Councilmember Rog stated that she is very supportive of small, local businesses and would like to see more of them in the community. She added she would be in favor of limiting the size of the liquor stores and looking for ways to control development in certain areas of the city to elevate the concept of small, local businesses. Councilmember Miller stated that he does not feel strongly about this, but he does feel the council is trying to control the character of retail through liquor licensing. He added that small stores are not always better stores, and they are not always boutique-type shops. He stated if the council wants to promote or support more local businesses in the city he is not sure, procedurally, that they should try to control that through licensing. Mayor Spano commented that the council does not have the ability to control the number of large retailers in the city; however, they do have the ability to an extent to control liquor licenses. Councilmember Hallfin stated that the council does have the ability to make decisions on the number of off-sale liquor licenses the city issues. However, just because they can do it does not mean they should. He added that he is willing to discuss controlling the square footage of stores. Councilmember Harris noted that she appreciates the comments about creating a walkable and bike-able community; however, she is ambivalent on this issue. She stated she is in favor of looking at zoning changes as they relate to the newly adopted Climate Action Plan. She added that she is not interested in regulating the number of liquor stores at this time and suggested tabling this issue until it can be reviewed in relation to climate action. Councilmember Brausen stated he would also be willing to review this in relation to the Climate Action Plan, walkability, and emissions; however, he is worried about a size cap or limiting the number of licenses because it creates artificial scarcity. Mr. Harmening stated that this issue could be addressed through zoning; however, that would also address and limit other types of retail, so it might be best to regulate through licensing. It was the consensus of the council to look at limiting the size of businesses within the C-2 district through zoning regulations. Mr. Harmening added that staff will work with Community Development and the city attorney on options to create zoning and land use regulations for certain parts of the community where the council wants to avoid big box stores and to promote smaller businesses. He stated that this topic will be brought back to council before the June 30 moratorium end date. 2. Boards and Commissions Application Review & Appointment Process Ms. Kennedy noted the rules and procedures for Boards and Commissions, including the annual recruitment, application and appointment processes, were revised in 2016 to make them more transparent, efficient and accessible to the public. Ms. Kennedy stated that applications are already City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 3 Title: Special Study Session Minutes of February 20, 2018 being accepted for the 2018 annual appointment process, adding that the deadline for applications is February 28. Mayor Spano stated that last year’s process was very long and involved and became difficult due to the sheer number of applications and openings to be filled. The council agreed and discussed the possibility of forming a sub group to perform the process. Councilmembers Hallfin and Harris agreed that a smaller sub group of the council might be a good alternative to review the applications and recommend selections to the council. Councilmember Harris also noted that councilmembers could be divided into sub groups based on their own areas of expertise to review applications and interview candidates. Mayor Spano stated that this might be an option. Then councilmembers would report back to the full council, before decisions were made. Councilmember Mavity stated that she is less inclined toward the sub group idea because one candidate can apply to serve on up to 3 different commissions. She suggested that each council member review the applications, and assign one score. Staff will average the candidate scores and council can use the information to decide whether to interview or appoint candidates. Councilmember Miller liked the idea of smaller groups of councilmembers meeting with applicants to allow for more in-depth conversations and also agreed with scoring each applicant. He suggested scheduling interviews and council discussion on an alternate day, not a study session. Councilmember Rog stated that she feels strongly there should not be personal advocacy to councilmembers by applicants, and so she suggested a blind scoring process. She agreed with Councilmember Harris’ idea of bringing each councilmember’s expertise into the process and noted she would be in favor of implementing term limits for commission members. Councilmember Brausen stated that he is fine with the current system, including interviews, and would prefer to do them on a different day than when a study session or council meeting is held. He also liked the idea of scoring, including looking at gender balance and racial equity. He was not in favor of a blind review. He agreed with the idea of term limits, as well. It was the consensus of the city council to use a very similar process as last year, but to make the process more manageable by having only one scoring criteria and holding interviews on a different night from council meetings. The process will also include having the names of each applicant, and would not be a blind review. Ms. Deno stated that the process will be fine-tuned, and will include new data gathered on race. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. _____________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Jake Spano, Mayor Meeting: City Council Meeting Date: March 5, 2018 Minutes: 3e UNOFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MEETING ST.

Annual Update – Discover St. Louis Park Ms. Bakken, the President of Discover St. Louis Park, presented the 2017 year-end report. She stated that the primary role of Discover St. Louis Park is to promote the city. She provided facts on tourism in Minnesota and reviewed how results are realized in St. Louis Park through revenues. She added that without tourism, many city businesses would not exist, adding that tourism attracts new residents, a strong work force, businesses, and new development. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3e) Page 2 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 20, 2018 Councilmember Brausen stated that Discover St. Louis Park is doing fantastic work, adding that he is proud that all seven St. Louis Park hotels are in Ward 4. Councilmember Harris thanked Ms. Bakken for the report and asked if they have enough resources to reach their 2018 goals. Ms. Bakken said yes, adding that they will have a staff of 5, with the addition of another business development manager. Councilmember Rog asked how the 200 hotel rooms being added to St. Louis Park would impact the occupancy rates and wondered what the threshold would be for having too many hotels. Ms. Bakken stated that there is always overflow from Minneapolis into St. Louis Park hotels; however, St. Louis Park does draw its own share of hotel business, as well. The market suggests the city can handle more hotels. Councilmember Rog added that she hopes Discover St. Louis Park will be promoting walking tours of the Walker Lake area in the near future. Ms. Bakken agreed and replied that people want to hear about unique things to do in the city. Mayor Spano asked how the partnership with Meet Minneapolis was conducted. Ms. Bakken stated that it is a greater-metro hotel membership. Discover St. Louis Park pays a membership fee to Minneapolis for the benefit of St. Louis Park hotels. Mayor Spano noted that he is glad to see this partnership with Minneapolis and also asked how the first year of the relationship with Golden Valley has impacted revenues. Ms. Bakken stated that Golden Valley, as part of Discover St. Louis Park, has added two hotels to the mix, which is 244 rooms along the I-394 corridor. She stated these extra rooms help St. Louis Park with overflow accommodations. Likewise, Golden Valley has some unique venues that visitors can enjoy, including Brookview and Theodore Wirth Parkway. Ms. Bakken stressed that with their additional staff coming on board, Discover St. Louis Park will continue to grow, adding that more dollars will be able to go to marketing, which puts the group in a good place. 3.

She has heard many in the community say that they prefer aesthetically pleasing buildings, so she would like to advocate for a redevelopment project that is unique to St. Louis Park. She added that she has concerns City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3e) Page 3 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 20, 2018 about the size and location of the parking ramp, but is pleased to see that construction will begin later, and hopes the developer can be responsive to ever changing issues. This may include building a ramp that can be converted to apartments, or reducing the size of the ramp as modes of transportation continue to evolve. She wondered if there was any benefit to splitting the parking, and she would also like to see the affordable housing that is part of this development provide more than studio or one- bedroom apartments to accommodate the many families who need affordable housing in our community. She added that she would like more neighborhood retail at the development and hopes to have more council input on future RFP’s.” Councilmember Mavity stated at the top of page 5, it should read, “Councilmember Mavity recused herself from the conversation as Mr. Sherman serves on the board of her organization.” It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to approve the Study Session Meeting Minutes of January 29, 2018, as revised.

City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3e) Page 5 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 20, 2018 It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to approve application from LTF Club Operations Company, Inc. dba Life Café, for an On-Sale Wine and 3.2% Malt Liquor License for the premises located at 5525 Cedar Lake Road, with a license term of March 1, 2018 – March 1, 2019. The motion passed 7-0. 6b. Consider Allocation of 2018 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds. Resolution No.18-039 Ms. Olson presented the staff report. She stated that each year the city must decide how to use its annual allocation of CDBG funds from U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which are distributed through Hennepin County. The city must submit to Hennepin County the proposed use of its allocation by February 23, 2018. Prior to submittal, the city must hold a public hearing. Ms. Olson added that this year’s proposed use of CDBG funds reflects the city’s priorities to preserve existing housing and increase affordable home ownership opportunities. The allocation focuses on assisting low-income residents with emergency repairs, rehab loans, improvement projects, and affordable ownership opportunities. She added that new this year, 15% of the overall CDBG budget is being set aside by Hennepin County for public service activities and awarded through one combined, competitive RFP, covering all the cities in the county program. Mayor Spano asked how the county handled this 15% in the past. Ms. Olson stated that in the past there was an RFP process to apply for these funds. Mayor Spano asked if this new method is a more effective way to allocate dollars. Ms. Olson stated that St. Louis Park did not use the full 15% in the past, so this year it will be a different breakdown. Councilmember Mavity stressed that the council may need to have a conversation with the county about this, adding she believes the more local control, the better. Mayor Spano opened the public hearing. Bill O’Meara, 9481 West 81st St., stated that he administers the emergency repair program and is seeing evolving trends. He counsels people on refinancing their FHA loans and also works with low-income and first-time home buyers on pre-purchase counseling and energy assistance. Councilmember Brausen asked if the emergency repair program is over subscribed. Mr. O’Meara stated that because St. Louis Park has been so progressive in providing more housing and education, the program is holding its own at this point. Councilmember Rog asked if Mr. O’Meara works with community land developers. Mr. O’Meara said yes, with Land Trust, which is an affordable option. Mayor Spano closed the public hearing. Mayor Spano noted that for Homes Within Reach, these programs help leverage funds to help people purchase homes. He added that he is supportive of the slate of allocations and City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 3e) Page 6 Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of February 20, 2018 would like the council to also consider looking at the city’s construction permits with consideration for the potential of utilizing these program resources. Councilmember Brausen stated that he appreciates staff’s hard work. With the consensus of the council being to work toward more affordable housing, this is money well spent. It was moved by Councilmember Hallfin, seconded by Councilmember Harris, to adopt Resolution No. 18-039, approving proposed use of 2018 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Funds and authorize execution of Subrecipient Agreement with Hennepin County and Third-Party Agreements.

(MnDOT Agreement No. 1030148). POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council have questions or concerns regarding the proposed agreement? SUMMARY: In the spring of 2018, MnDOT will start their Mill and Overlay Project on Highway 7. MnDOT will also be replacing the traffic signals at Highway 7 and Texas Avenue and Highway 7 and Aquila Avenue. The new signals will include Audible Pedestrian Signals (APS) and countdown timers. MnDOT will also be upgrading the sidewalk near the intersections of Texas Avenue and Aquila Avenue to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Also Texas Avenue will incorporate a bike lane along with bike detection so the signal will know when a person on a bike is trying to cross Highway 7. The city, state, and county share responsibilities for the construction of the new signals and their long term maintenance. MnDOT Agreement 1030148 provides detailed assignments and descriptions of the respective responsibilities. The agreement is consistent with other agreements currently in place for signals in St. Louis Park. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project is included in the City’s CIP for 2018 and will be paid for using Municipal State Aid funds and General Obligation Bonds. The total cost estimate for the city’s share of the project is $278,299.90. Additional information on the breakdown of the funding can be found later in this report. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.

Heiser, Engineering Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4b) Page 2 Title: Approve Construction Agreement with MnDOT for the 2018 Highway 7 Mill and Overlay Project DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: In 2018, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will be completing a mill and overlay of Highway 7. This project will extend the life of the pavement by providing a new driving surface. MnDOT will also be installing new signals at two intersections in St. Louis Park. The Texas Avenue at Highway 7 intersection will be upgraded with Audible Pedestrian Signals (APS) and countdown timers. MnDOT will also be upgrading the sidewalk near the intersections of Texas Avenue and Aquila Avenue to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Also Texas Avenue will incorporate a bike lane along with bike detection so the signal will know when a person on a bike is trying to cross Highway 7. In addition to the work already included in this project, staff has reached out to MnDOT to request that they also add the following to their project to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety along this corridor: • A chain link fence to provide a barrier along the north right- of- way line to discourage mid- block crossings of the highway. • Additional streetlights on the signals to illuminate the intersections. • Carrying the bike lane striping through the Highway 7/ Texas Avenue intersection to raise visibility to this bikeway. MnDOT has agreed to review these requests for inclusion in their project. Previous Council Actions At the June 13, 2016 Study Session, MnDOT provided the City Council with a project overview and asked for the City Council’s opinion on closing the right-in for the Shoppes at Knollwood between Texas Avenue and Aquila Avenue. Access closures require municipal consent. Since the City Council did not support closing this access, MnDOT will be leaving the access open. New traffic signals at Texas Avenue and Aquila Avenue Through an existing agreement, the city, state, and county share responsibility for the construction of new signals and their long term maintenance. Since this project includes the replacement of these signals a new agreement detailing assignments and descriptions of the respective responsibilities has been drafted. This agreement is consistent with other agreements currently in place for signals in St. Louis Park. In summary, the city is responsible for the cost of the signal system for each leg of the intersection within St. Louis Park which connects to Highway 7. The city is also responsible for supplying and paying for the power, replacement of luminaires, and cleaning the signal controller cabinet. MnDOT will be responsible for maintaining the traffic control equipment, repairing knockdowns, maintaining the signal interconnect, and for the timing and operation of the new traffic signals and emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) system. Financial Consideration: This project was included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2018. Below is a summary of the costs and funding sources.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue to implement our Pavement Management program? SUMMARY: On January 2, 2018, the City Council ordered the development of final plans and specifications for the 2018 Hopkins Street and Utility Improvement Project (4018-1101). Texas Avenue and Division Street are border streets, so maintenance responsibility and jurisdiction is shared between the two cities. Both cities have interest in minimizing the inconvenience to the public and completing the work efficiently. Our best option to meet these goals is to reconstruct these streets with the City of Hopkins 2018 Street and Utility Improvement Project. Due to a majority of the project being in Hopkins, on June 19, 2017 the City Council authorized a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Hopkins to designate them as the lead agency for the construction contract. The scope of this project within St. Louis Park includes: street rehabilitation, sidewalk and bikeway construction, replacement of the storm sewer and gas main, and minor sanitary sewer and watermain repairs. The bike lanes were approved on Texas Avenue between Highway 7 and Lake Street on February 6, 2017. Share the road bike facilities will be installed on the Hopkins side of Texas Avenue. Sidewalks were approved on January 2, 2018 on both sides of Texas Avenue from Highway 7 to Division Street and on the east side of Texas Avenue from Division Street to Lake Street. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project is included in the City’s CIP for 2018 and will be paid for using, franchise fee revenues, utility funds, and General Obligation Bonds. The total cost estimate for the project is $687,632. Additional information on the breakdown of the funding can be found later in this report. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion Resolution Hopkins Overall 2018 Reconstruction Project Area Map Prepared by: Joseph Shamla, Senior Engineering Project Manager Reviewed by: Debra M. Heiser, Engineering Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4e) Page 2 Title: Approve Plans & Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids (Project No. 4018-1101) DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: In 2018, Texas Avenue (from Highway 7 to Lake Street) and Division Street (from Texas Avenue to dead end) are proposed to be reconstructed. In general, Texas Avenue is 60% within St. Louis Park and 40% within Hopkins and Division Street is shared equally between the two cities. The City of Hopkins has a larger reconstruction project in the area which includes Cambridge Street, Oxford Street, Lake Street Northeast, Murphy Avenue, and the alley south of Lake Street. Completing Texas Avenue and Division Street at this time will provide the city a better price and the residents a better product as both sides of the street will be completed at the same time. Attached is a location map. Texas Avenue was last reconstructed in 1960 and Division Street in 1956. The proposed design is expected to meet the needs of the neighborhood for the next 40 years. Previous Council Actions Since a majority of the project is in Hopkins, on June 19, 2018 the City Council authorized a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Hopkins to designate them as the lead agency for the construction contract. On February 6, 2017 the City Council approved the installation of bike lanes on Texas Avenue from Highway 7 to Lake Street. This segment will connect into the South Oak Hill Neighborhood via Lake Street and Rhode Island ultimately connecting to the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. Due to the proposed reconstruction project, staff delayed the installation of the bikeway until 2018. When the bike lanes are installed on Texas Avenue south of Highway 7, a bike facility will be in place on Texas Avenue between 28th Street and the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. On January 2, 2018 the City Council approved the installation of sidewalk for Texas Avenue on both sides of the road up to Division Street and on the east side of the road from Division Street to Lake Street. Utility Replacement The utilities on these streets were reviewed as part of this project. New storm sewer will be installed on Texas Avenue along with minor repairs to the sanitary sewer and watermain. The Metropolitan Council is coordinating with the City of Hopkins for the replacement of their large diameter forcemain on Lake Street. This project is a continuation of the forcemain replacement which occurred through St. Louis Park from 2014 to 2016. The project limits will extend from west of Blake Road in Hopkins to 200 feet east of Lake Street in St. Louis Park. Private utilities were notified about this project. CenterPoint Energy will be replacing their gas main on Texas Avenue this spring. We have not been informed of any work by other utility companies. Design of Texas Avenue A full reconstruct of Texas Avenue and Division Street is proposed for this summer. A reconstruct consists of the removal and replacement of the curb and gutter, and pavement. Included with these improvements is the construction of new sidewalk along Texas Avenue within St. Louis Park. A bike corridor will be installed on Texas Avenue by the fall of 2018. In late 2017, bike lanes were installed on Texas Avenue from Highway 7 to Minnetonka Boulevard. Additional bike facilities City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4e) Page 3 Title: Approve Plans & Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids (Project No. 4018-1101) will be placed on Texas Avenue north of Minnetonka Boulevard and southeast of the intersection of Lake Street and Texas Avenue South connecting to the Cedar Lake Regional Trail. When all segments of bikeway on Texas are implemented it will provide residents with a bike facility between the north and south regional trails, as well as Texa-Tonka and the Shoppes at Knollwood. The bike lane on Texas Avenue will also connect to Lake Street in the City of Hopkins. Lake Street will be a “share the road” bike way with on-street parking from Texas Avenue to Blake Road. Tree Impact There are three trees which need to be removed for the construction of the new sidewalk. Any tree which is removed will be replaced on a caliper inch basis. Therefore a 10 caliper inch tree would be replaced by 4 trees which are 2.5 caliper inch per tree. The replacement trees would be located within the Texas Avenue right-of-way as space allows or planted in other locations in the City. The proposed 6 foot boulevard between the sidewalk and the road is identified as a location for planting new trees.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does Council wish to approve the contract at this time? SUMMARY: Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution, reviewed by the City Attorney, which reaffirms the Residential Organics Recycling and Yard Waste Processing Services, designates SET as the service provider, and authorizes execution of the Agreement for Residential Organics Recycling and Yard Waste Processing Services. Staff recommends selecting SET based on cost, their past satisfactory delivery of services in the City, and their reputation as a leader in the compost industry. The contract will be from April 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022. The processing contract is a unit price contract (cost/ton), therefore the total cost is based on the amount of organics diverted through the program and annual yard waste fluctuations. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: There will be no cost implications to the General Fund resulting from the city contracting for processing, as the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund covers all these costs. Processing costs were budgeted for in the current Solid Waste budget. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship.

Walsh, Director of Operations & Recreation Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4f) Page 2 Title: Approval of 2018 – 2022 Organics and Yard Waste Processing Contract DISCUSSION Request for Proposals (RFP) Information The RFP included general information such as: program background, historical ton of organics and yard waste collection in the past four years, current processing costs, transporting and weighing requirements, regulatory requirements, organics study requirements, compost for use by residents, community gardens and special events, contractor questionnaire and a pricing worksheet. Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Research A request for proposals was sent to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. In addition, staff reviewed both the Office of State Procurement and Minnesota United Certification Program for other minority or women owned businesses doing compost processing and found none. Processors Considered Staff worked with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to determine who the compost processors were in this area that were capable of providing processing services. The processors that received RFP’s were Specialized Environmental Technologies (SET), Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC), Advanced Disposal, Midwest Recycling Solutions, and Carver County (operates at the MN Arboretum). Timeline The contract term is from April 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022. RFP’s were sent to interested parties and posted on the city’s website on January 16, 2018 and received by January 31, 2018. Processing Proposals SET was the only processor to submit a proposal to the city. SET’s Proposal SET has been processing the City’s yard waste for many years and processing our co-collected organics since 2013. Processing Locations The City has a range of processing locations for organics and yard waste depending upon the manner in which it is delivered and the daily capacity of each facility. SET will process the material at their Empire (organics and yard waste), Shakopee (yard waste), or Burnsville (yard waste) sites. They also have the option to divert some material to SMSC, from time to time if there are capacity issues at their sites, through their cooperative processing agreement with SMSC. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4f) Page 3 Title: Approval of 2018 – 2022 Organics and Yard Waste Processing Contract Processing Costs The processing is a unit price contract. Below is a comparison of the proposed processing unit costs compared to the cost for 2017: Delivery Method / Location Proposed 2018-2022 2017 Co-collected organic and yard waste – SET Empire $56-$61.50 / ton $70 / ton Co-collected organic and yard waste – Malcolm Transfer Station $73 / ton $70 / ton Organics only – Brooklyn Park Transfer Station $25 / ton n/a Organics only – SET Empire $56-$61.50 / ton $70 / ton Yard waste only – SET Empire, SET Burnsville, SET Shakopee $19-$22 / ton n/a Yard waste only – City Brush Site $36-$39 / ton $34 / ton Note: The proposed processing unit cost changes from previous years due to the change in the collector’s delivery location. Therefore, total cost comparisons can’t be made until 2018-2023 collection contracts are finalized. Compost Availability Complementary compost will be made available to residents, community gardens, and at special events in St. Louis Park from May 1 through November 30, in the following quantities, annually: •300 cubic yards for distribution to city residents at the Brush Drop-off Site each spring and fall. •100 cubic yards for distribution to community gardens. •100 cubic yards for use at special events and promotions. Compost Use Benefits The use of compost in soil increases water holding capacity/infiltration, reduces run-off/erosion, and increases the soil’s ability to sequester carbon and hold and release nutrients for plant growth. Timeline for 2018-2022 Organics and Yard Waste Processing Contract The processing contract will for organics recycling and yard waste will begin on April 1, 2018 and extend through December 31, 2022.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to accept the gift with restrictions on its use? SUMMARY: State statute requires City Council’s acceptance of donations. This requirement is necessary in order to make sure the City Council has knowledge of any restrictions placed on the use of each donation prior to it being expended. The City of St. Louis Park’s Information Technology Manager, Jason Huber, represents the National Association of Government Web Professionals (NAGW) as their Midwest Director. NAGW region directors will meet April 25-28, 2018 at the national conference hotel site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As a result of Mr. Huber’s board member status, the National Association of Government Web Professionals will cover all related board retreat expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,200. The City Attorney has reviewed this matter. His opinion is that state law permits the payment of such expenses by this organization, regardless of whether the funds come from primary or secondary sources. It is treated as a gift to the city and there needs to be a resolution adopted by the City Council determining that attendance at this event serves a public purpose and accepting the gift. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This donation will be used toward the expenses incurred by Jason Huber’s attendance to the National Association of Government Web Professionals National Board Member Retreat and Conference Planning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: None. SUMMARY: The St. Louis Park Lions Club has requested to install temporary signs in the public right-of-way for their 61st Annual Pancake and Sausage Breakfast event. The Council has been granting a similar request for the Lion’s Pancake Breakfast every year since 2005. Section 36-362(e)(2) of the Zoning Code states that prohibited signs include, “Signs on or over the public right-of-way unless the City Council grants permission for a temporary sign on or over the public right-of-way for a period not to exceed ten days.” The Lions Club is a non-profit community based organization that provides services and resources to the people of St. Louis Park. The requested signs advertise the Lions Club’s 61st Annual Pancake and Sausage Breakfast to be held on Sunday, March 25, 2018. This activity is a fund raiser for services and resources provided to the residents of St. Louis Park. The request is to install 20 sandwich board style signs as early as March 17, 2018. Up to 28 smaller signs will be installed at local places of worship on the day of the event. All signs will be removed on the day of the event. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: None.

Variance: Variance to the side yard (continued from June 22, 2017) Location: 9018 Minnehaha Circle North Applicant: Tom Muralt Case No.: 17-18-VAR Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, stated that the applicant withdrew the application on July 19, 2017. He said the application was presented to the board on June 22, 2017. At that time the hearing was opened and the applicant said he was considering alternatives for the garage remodeling and asked that the application be tabled to a future meeting. Commissioner Solmer made a motion to close the public hearing. The motion passed on a vote of 4-0. 5. Public Hearings A. Variance: Variance to required minimum number of parking spaces Location: 3402 Library Lane Applicant: Lara Dietrich Case No.: 17-15-VAR Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, stated the applicant operates the Maestoso Music Studio at 3402 Library Lane. The applicant is planning a 2,900 sq. ft. expansion into the existing space located directly adjacent to the current City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 2 Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of July 27, 2017 business. The applicant requests a variance to allow three parking spaces instead of the required seven spaces. Mr. Morrison explained how the code addresses a use that is legally non- conforming to parking. He noted the expansion needs to comply with the additional amount of parking that is required. He reviewed existing and proposed parking requirements for the multi-tenant building. He discussed the ample on- street parking. Mr. Morrison reviewed the criteria for granting of a variance. He stated staff finds the requested variance to the parking requirements meets the criterion and therefore recommends approval of the requested variance. Chair Gainsley opened the public hearing. Mr. Morrison noted a letter of support of the variance request received July 11, 2017, from STEP, St. Louis Park Emergency Program, 6812 W. Lake Street. The letter was distributed to the board. As no one was present wishing to speak, the Chair closed the public hearing. All commissioners stated they concurred with the staff recommendation. Commissioner Roberts made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 03-17 approving a variance from Section 36-361(c) to allow three parking spaces instead of the required seven spaces for the Maestoso Music Studio expansion. The motion was approved by a vote of 4-0. Mr. Morrison read the statement regarding appeal to the city council. The 10 day appeal period expires Aug. 6, 2017. B. Variance: Variance to the maximum allowed floor area Location: 3947 Excelsior Blvd. Applicant: Patrick Crowe/Salt Salon Spa Case No.: 17-22-VAR Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, stated the applicant requests a variance to increase the allowed floor area from 2,500 sq. ft. to 3,750 sq. ft. for the proposed salon business. Mr. Morrison reviewed existing conditions and zoning regulations for the site. He noted that as a property that is non-conforming to the parking regulations, the uses inside the building can continue as is. They can also change as long as the parking demand is not increased. He explained to assist with the non-conforming parking situation, the property owner secured 16 parking spaces on a vacant lot just 200 feet to the east of the subject property. Mr. Morrison said the parking situation will be improved by the salon use as peak demand time for parking of salon use is different than a typical office use. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 3 Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of July 27, 2017 Mr. Morrison reviewed criterion for granting a variance. He stated the proposed application does meet the required criterion for granting a variance. Staff recommends approval. Commissioner Roberts asked if the 3,750 sq. ft. of useable space is on the first floor only and does not include the basement. Mr. Morrison responded that the 3,750 sq. ft. of useable space is on the first floor only, and the basement is occupied by another office use in its entirety. Chair Gainsley asked what would happen if the 16 off-site parking spaces were lost. Mr. Morrison said when staff reviewed the request they did not include the 16 spaces. The applicant secured the 16 spaces on their own initiative. The Chair opened the public hearing. Patrick Crowe, applicant, stated he was available to answer any questions. As no one was present wishing to speak, the Chair closed the public hearing. Commissioner Solmer said he was favor of granting the variance. Commissioner Roberts remarked about two similar cases for that part of the zoning code. Mr. Morrison said staff plans to look at that. Commissioner Solmer made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 04-17 approving a variance from Section 36-193(c)(11) to increase the maximum allowed floor area from 2,500 sq. ft. to 3,750 sq. ft. for Salt Salon Spa.

Commissioner Tatalovich seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0. 3.Public Hearings A.Water Treatment Plant 4 – Amendment to Conditional Use Permit with Variance Location: 4701 West 41st Street Applicant: City of St. Louis Park Case No.: 17-26-CUP, 17-27-VAR Jacquelyn Kramer, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report. She explained that the city Engineering Department has requested the applications to make exterior improvements to a stormwater treatment facility on the property. The amendment to the conditional use permit is required for a public services facility in an R-1 district. The variance is required to reduce the front setback from 30 ft. to 15 ft. to allow construction of mechanical equipment and a screening wall on the east side of the building. Ms. Kramer provided an analysis of the conditional use permit. The application meets all requirements. Ms. Kramer discussed the request for variance needed for the remote radiator enclosure along the outside east wall of the existing building. She explained how the variance request meets all criteria for granting a variance. Ms. Kramer noted a neighborhood meeting was held with five residents in attendance. She said overall residents expressed support of the project and the improvements. She said current and future landscaping was discussed. Page 2 City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4k) Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of October 18, 2017 Vice Chair Robertson and Ms. Kramer discussed the side yard setback. Ms. Kramer noted that because of the unique characteristics of the site, the east yard is the optimal location for the radiator and screening wall. Vice Chair Robertson opened the public hearing. As no one was present wishing to speak, the Vice Chair closed the public hearing. Commissioner Tatalovich made a motion recommending approval of the Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and Variance for decreasing the front setback from 30 feet to 15 feet. Commissioner Johnston-Madison seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0. B.Zoning Ordinance Amendment – Industrial Uses Third Shift Applicant: Lyman Lumber Case No.: 17-25-ZA Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He spoke about the applicant’s desire to expand the operation by starting a 3rd shift. He reviewed Section 36-242(1) of the ordinance which prohibits businesses located in the Industrial Park and General Industrial zoning districts from operating between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. when the property is located adjacent to a property zoned residential. Mr. Morrison summarized nine conditions which are proposed for the amendment. Mr. Morrison reviewed the property location, operation activities and the adjacent properties. Mr. Morrison discussed citywide application of the proposed amendment and three industrial areas in the city that may take advantage of the proposed amendment. Mr. Morrison stated a neighborhood meeting was conducted to allow the neighbors to visit the site and see the proposed operations. He said the tour of the site included walking around the building while the operation was running. Noise was not noticeable from outside the building as long as the doors remain closed. He commented that Lyman Lumber conducted a noise study in early 2017. Commissioner Person asked about the operation activities of Lyman Lumber during a third shift. Mr. Morrison responded activities according to code could include any industrial activity that would be manufacturing, processing, and storage conducted entirely within the building overnight. Lyman Lumber’s activity would be applying a finish to cement siding. Commissioner Carper noted a correction to be made to page one, paragraph one of the staff report. Hours of operation referred to should be 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., rather than 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Page 3 City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4k) Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of October 18, 2017 Commissioner Kanne asked about noise and the ventilation system. Mr. Morrison responded that the ventilation system could not be heard outside of the building. The dominant outdoor noise is the highway. He spoke about the noise study conducted which found the exact same results. Commissioner Kanne asked about employee rules. Mr. Morrison said there is no trucking activity during 3rd shift. Employee vehicles shouldn’t be idling. He noted that employee parking is the farthest distance on the site from residential property. He said the city shouldn’t have an ordinance written specifically for Lyman Lumber. We want to make sure the ordinance applies equitably city-wide. Vice Chair Robertson spoke about items like lighting, ventilation and decibel limits. He asked if some of these items should be in the ordinance. Mr. Morrison said the general code addresses lighting. Regarding noise and speakers outside, he said staff could look at that. Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, stated the city nuisance ordinance currently does have decibel level restrictions for noise of long duration. Police do have the discretion to identify noise of shorter duration a nuisance. Commissioner Kanne asked the applicant for his response to the more general conditions of approval and assurance that those conditions could be met. Applicant, Mark Thieroff, Attorney for the Applicant, directed commissioners to look at the site drawing which illustrates the distance employee parking would be from residential. He spoke about over the road truck deliveries which will be controlled by purchase order indicating delivery time. Improved on-site signage will also coordinate with that process. Scott Richter, applicant, spoke about activities and operations which will occur during the third shift. Vice Chair Robertson opened the public hearing. As no one was present wishing to speak, he closed the public hearing. Commissioner Carper said he supports and encourages responsible companies to do business in St. Louis Park. Commissioner Carper made a motion recommending approval of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment pertaining to extended business hours for Industrial uses adjacent to residential properties. Commissioner Johnston-Madison seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0. 4.

Communications Commissioner Person spoke about the city’s Vision 3.0 process. He said the Environment and Sustainability Commission has a subcommittee that will be looking at the Comprehensive Plan. He said that subcommittee would like to have a joint study session with the Planning Commission at some point. Vice Chair Robertson said he thought that was a great idea. Mr. Walther said the Vision 3.0 document is nearing its final version and approval by City Council. He said four neighborhood-based Comprehensive Plan workshops will be held in November. Commissioners are welcome to attend their own area workshop and all workshops. More information will be coming from staff soon. Mr. Walther said the November 1 commission meeting has been cancelled. The November 15 commission meeting may also be cancelled. 6.

LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA December 6, 2017 – 6:00 p.m. COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: Lynne Carper, Claudia Johnston-Madison, Torrey Kanne, Richard Person, Carl Robertson, Joe Tatalovich MEMBERS ABSENT: Lisa Peilen STAFF PRESENT: Sean Walther, Jacquelyn Kramer, Jennifer Monson, Gary Morrison OTHERS PRESENT: Jeff Miller, consultant, HKGi 1. Comprehensive Plan Progress Update Staff and Jeff Miller, HKGi, the city’s planning consultant for the comprehensive plan, discussed the overall project schedule and the Neighborhood Planning Workshops held in November. 2. Small cell, Communication Tower and Antennaes draft ordinance discussion Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, introduced the draft ordinance and gave a brief summary of the ordinance and why it is being proposed. Morrison explained that the state passed a law requiring cities to allow small cell facilities in the public right-of- way. The law gives the city very little authority to regulate the manner in which they are installed. The law does preserve the city’s ability to apply regulations that protect the health, safety and welfare of the city. Therefore, staff proposes an amendment to the communication tower and antenna section of the zoning ordinance to define health, safety and welfare issues. The commissioners expressed the following questions and opinions for staff to consider: 1. Can a tree be placed in front of antennas without interfering in the signal? 2. Does “ground mounted equipment” include equipment that is buried? The city should be encouraging buried equipment over ground or pole mounted equipment. 3. Can the antenna be in the right-of-way, but the equipment placed on private property? 4. What kind of pole is acceptable? Can it be wood? 5. The city should prioritize boulevard placement over medians. Staff will make revisions to the ordinance and have the city attorney review again before initiating the amendment process. 3. Electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4l) Page 2 Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of December 6, 2017 Jacquelyn Kramer, Associate Planner, gave a summary of the draft ordinance. As proposed, all new development with 50 or more required parking stalls, or expansions of existing parking lots that go over the 50 parking stalls threshold, would be required to install a minimum number of EVCS. The level of EVCS required would be determined by the land use of the parcel. Additionally, the city would require 10% of parking spaces in these developments to be charging station-ready with the appropriate electrical wiring and conduit. Commissioners raised questions regarding the number of spaces we would require. Commissioners would like to see more spaces required for EVCS, and at a lower threshold – for example, every new lot or development with 25 spaces or more, rather than the 50 spaces in the draft ordinance. Staff clarified that replacing, but not expanding, existing parking lots would not trigger this requirement. There was discussion about possibly changing the application of the ordinance from the number of proposed parking stalls to the size of the lot. In the final staff report, staff will explain how this ordinance supports the work outlined in the city’s Climate Action Plan. Overall commissioners were very supportive of the draft ordinance and what it is trying to accomplish. Staff will research the following items and draft a final ordinance for planning commission’s recommendation: • How many existing properties could be impacted by this ordinance • LEED standards for quantity of EVCS • Cost of installation of different levels of EVCS 4. Architectural material – material request Jennifer Monson, Planner, presented a proposed material change for the greenhouse that was approved for the PLACE greenhouse in May 2017. The greenhouse was originally approved with glass material, however, as more detailed design has occurred, PLACE proposes glass is not the best material for greenhouses that are used to grow food. PLACE requests an amendment to allow the use of Acrylite, an acrylic glass product, to be allowed for a food production greenhouse. Ms. Monson summarized the three types of materials traditionally used for greenhouses including glass, Acrylite, and polycarbonate. Ms. Monson said that research shows Acrylite is the best product for food production as it is low maintenance, shatter proof, does not change color, and is the most hygienic of the three products. Ms. Monson said acrylic products are not currently allowed in St. Louis Park, and staff is requesting Planning Commission’s guidance as to whether the city should consider allowing acrylite for greenhouses. A sample of the product was passed around. Commissioner Robertson said he does not have any issues allowing the acrylite product for greenhouses, and wondered if a photovoltaic film could be installed on the top, or if a rain screen material could be in front of it to provide for solar panel installation. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4l) Page 3 Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of December 6, 2017 Commissioner Johnston-Madison said she did not have any issues with it. Commissioner Carper said he did not have any issues with it. Planning Commission agreed that Acrylite would be a good product to use for greenhouses. 5.

MX District Topics Jennifer Monson, Planner, introduced the fourth study session discussion on Mixed Use District. Site circulation, loading zones, parking design and building length are the current topics. Driveway circulation and design Ms. Monson said staff proposes driveway to be located on the secondary frontages and alley frontages in order to increase and maintain pedestrian realm along the primary frontages of the building. Staff would like to establish a maximum driveway width. Staff recommends using language proposed in the draft form-based code which requires a maximum driveway width of 22 ft. for a two-way driveway, shared access for two abutting properties is encouraged; and interconnected street patterns. Driveway locations would focus on certain areas of the building. Move traffic toward the alley, or secondary street frontage if on corner lot with no alley. Loading zones and docks Staff proposes designated loading zone areas provided for residential tenants; shared internal loading and trash space; move it off the street frontages. Staff recommends using the existing language within the zoning district. Off-street parking Jacquelyn Kramer, Associate Planner, said staff proposes regulating where parking lots and structures can be located on the parcels. There would be different location requirements depending on land use and street designation. Staff proposeds these regulations to minimize visibility of surface parking in the district; create consistent building frontage and encourage active uses; to make sure there are public pedestrian connections. Ms. Kramer reviewed language from the draft form-based code. Ms. Kramer stated a parking ramp as a primary structure would require a CUP. As an accessory structure, it would be permitted with all uses/frontages, with conditions. It would be fully screened in the rear yard. Ramps to be located in rear or side of structure. Staff proposes the use of an entry tower which would define the pedestrian entrance/exit separate from vehicular entrance. The entry tower would directly access the sidewalk or public realm. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4m) Page 2 Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of December 20, 2017 Commissioner Robertson said he was thinking of Texa-Tonka where the lot is adjacent to the retail strip. He said he is currently working on a situation where the developer is trying to maximize the adjacent lot. The whole lot is surface parking lot. He asked if that would be allowed in the MX District. Ms. Kramer responded that surface parking on the main road would not be allowed as the principal use of a lot in the MX District. Structured parking may be allowed depending on various issues. Chair Peilen remarked that it sounds like it would become more difficult for people who need to use cars to get there. She said for all of our concern about pedestrians, people do still need to drive places for retail to succeed. Ms. Kramer said on-street parking and surface parking would still be provided, but it would be located behind the building so the building has a street presence with retail and pedestrian activity, and plaza, and the surface parking wouldn’t dominate the view on the main road; something like Excelsior & Grand and Ellipse on Excelsior. Maximum building length Ms. Monson said this helps regulate the mass of the building along the street; increases opportunities for pedestrian and vehicle access through site; decreases scale and massing of building; creates a more connected network; and allows space for utilities between the buildings. She reviewed some of the building lengths in St. Louis Park. The city currently regulates building length only through subdivision ordinance, which allows a block to be a maximum of 600 ft. long. Staff would like Planning Commission guidance on length. Staff wonders if the city could regulate and require smaller buildings for better access through the site for both vehicles and pedestrians Commissioner Robertson said he likes the idea. He said it varies enough though so you’d have to look at block lengths. He said it’s hard to come up with a number. Might be better off suggesting: with a block longer than X the building shall be split in two with X ft. wide alley between or driveway between them. If there is parking behind, then you would need to split the building. Definitely have parking behind. Trash pick-up/trash room would be good between buildings. Commissioner Tatalovich asked if determining maximum building length would be for utility access and aesthetics. Ms. Monson replied it helps with utilities, circulation and massing of the building. Commissioner Carper suggested looking at the West End for ideas on passageways through buildings. Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, said there is a provision similar to this in the Subdivision Ordinance. But, if there is a project that doesn’t include a subdivision and the ordinance doesn’t apply, having this rule on MX zoning would reinforce the policy. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4m) Page 3 Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of December 20, 2017 Commissioner Kanne said it makes sense to establish a number similar to Uptown numbers. She asked if 50th & France is the same concept with parking behind businesses and lots of pedestrian activity. She spoke about a comfortable feel at 50th & France. Chair Peilen said establishing a maximum building length is more usable and workable but part of it feels a little like Big Brother and a little cookie-cutter to her. Commissioner Robertson said discussion of a maximum building length fits in with earlier discussions about breaking up facades, alcoves, green spaces, interior corridors and outdoor dining. Ms. Monson thanked the commission for feedback and said staff would prepare proposed language. 2. Annual Report Ms. Kramer presented the draft annual report. She asked commissioners to let staff know if anything was missed or if there is anything that should be highlighted or emphasized. Chair Peilen asked why there were fewer developments in 2017 than in 2015 or 2016. Ms. Kramer said there were a lot of anticipated developments in 2017 but for whatever reason formal applications have not yet been submitted. These applications will be submitted in early 2018. Commissioner Carper said he would like to see the number of stories for each development included in the Annual Report. Number of stories is more important than height. Commissioner Robertson asked in addition to MX, is there any other section of code staff wants to study in 2018. Ms. Kramer said electric vehicle charging stations and small cell wireless facilities will be coming in early 2018. Mr. Walther said the discussion on architectural materials will be renewed. Chair Peilen suggested discussion of the overall picture of rental housing and guidelines for the needs of St. Louis Park. She remarked current discussions of it seem a little haphazard. She suggested looking at the overall mix of housing and how this effects St. Louis Park’s future. Commissioner Robertson spoke about a housing study done in 2003. He suggested a housing study update. Ms. Kramer said that the city has commissioned Maxfield Research for an update related to the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Robertson asked if we study how we’re doing compared with other communities. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 4m) Page 4 Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of December 20, 2017 Ms. Kramer responded that the Comprehensive Plan doesn’t do comparative analysis but the Maxfield study might provide an analysis of the market. There was a discussion about accessory dwelling units, housing needs and taxes. Commissioner Robertson said he has been thinking for years about how the city can work with smaller lots on its busier streets. They don’t feel like good single family units as they are but if you go to row house/brownstone housing they become better for that kind of street. He said at the same time we have NOAH (Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing) conversations going on. These two concepts are in direct conflict. He commented there is a lot to consider. Mr. Walther said it is good to know this is a strong interest of the commission. He stated the Comprehensive Plan would be the commission’s best opportunity for that. Commissioner Robertson said he would also like to discuss the problem of long term planning changing due to short term economic issues. 3. Other Mr. Walther spoke about plans for upcoming tours for the commission. Mr. Walther said Bridgewater plans would be discussed at the January 8 City Council study session and the next Planning Commission study session. Commissioner Kanne said she does not want to Chair the commission in 2018. She did agree to be Vice Chair. Commissioner Robertson volunteered to be the Chair.

Motion to Adopt First Reading of Ordinance amending Chapters 8, Section 8-336 of the St. Louis Park Code of Ordinances relating to a tenant protection period following the sale of an affordable housing building and set the Second Reading of Ordinance for March 19, 2018. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Will the adoption of this ordinance result in the protection of low income tenants? SUMMARY: At the September 25, 2017 city council study session, council directed staff to convene a workgroup with representatives from MN Multi-Housing Association, the St. Louis Park rental community and representatives from agencies advocating for NOAH preservation strategies. The purpose of the workgroup was to review and discuss the NOAH preservation strategies being considered by the council and determine if there is any middle ground for a workable solution. The workgroup met three times and although they did not reach agreement or identify any middle ground on three of the four strategies being considered by the council, the group did generate several NOAH preservation strategies in which the workgroup was able to reach general agreement. One strategy proposed establishes a tenant protection period following the sale of an NOAH property. At the February 12, 2018 Study Session, staff presented a draft ordinance implementing a three month Tenant Protection period for residents of NOAH properties at the time of a transfer in ownership. For a three month period following the ownership transfer of a NOAH, the new owner would be required to pay relocation benefits to tenants if the owner increases the rent, rescreens existing residents or implements non-renewals of leases without cause and the tenant chooses to move due to these actions. The council supported the proposed ordinance and directed staff to move forward with implementation. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Staff will develop administrative processes to implement the ordinance, inform owners of the requirement and monitor and enforce compliance. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and diverse housing stock. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion Draft Ordinance Prepared by: Michele Schnitker, Housing Supervisor Reviewed by: Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 6a) Page 2 Title: Tenant Protection Ordinance DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: Since the September 25 council study session, the NOAH Preservation Workgroup has met three times to discuss the four NOAH preservation strategies being considered by the council. The four strategies include: •Advance Notice of Sale •Non-renewal of Lease for Cause •Non-discrimination of Housing Subsidy Recipients •Rehab Financing in Exchange for Rent Restrictions NOAH Preservation Workgroup: The workgroup meetings were facilitated by Cathy Bennett, an independent consultant, and 12 individuals participated in at least one of the three meetings. Although the workgroup did not reach agreement or identify any middle ground on three of the four strategies being considered by the council, the group did generate several NOAH preservation strategies in which the workgroup was able to reach general agreement. One of the strategies proposed is the establishment of a tenant protection period following the sale of a NOAH property. A summary of the proposed ordinance is as follows: Tenant Protection Ordinance: This ordinance would require a three month period following the ownership transfer of a NOAH multi-family residential property during which the new owner would be required to pay relocation benefits to tenants if the new owner increases the rent, rescreens existing residents or implements non-renewals without cause and the tenant chooses to move during this period. NOAH properties would be defined as buildings where at least 18% of the units have rents affordable to households with incomes at or below 60% Area Medium Income (AMI). Eighteen percent mirrors the percent of affordable housing required at 60% AMI per the city’s Inclusionary Housing Policy. This ordinance would not prohibit a new owner from taking the actions listed above; however, the owner would be required to provide resident relocation benefits if they do take any of those actions during the tenant protection period and the tenant decides to move as a result. The three month period would also allow for time for residents to work with housing support resources and seek alternative housing if they are facing unaffordable rent increases, new screening criteria requirements that would be problematic for them, or a thirty day non-renewal without cause notice to vacate. The ordinance also requires the new owner of an affordable housing building to provide notice of the ordinance protections to tenants of affordable housing units within 30 days of the sale of an affordable housing building. The proposed ordinance was drafted by the city attorney based on the input and guidance of the NOAH Preservation Workgroup, staff and the city council. PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed ordinance reflects the city’s priorities and goals to promote and facilitate a balanced and enduring housing stock that offers a continuum of diverse life-cycle housing choices suitable for households of all income levels including the preservation of naturally occurring affordable housing. NEXT STEPS: The proposed ordinance will take effect July 1, 2018. This delay in the effective date will provide time for staff to develop administrative processes to implement, monitor and enforce compliance of the ordinance. Staff will also develop a comprehensive process to ensure the St. Louis Park rental community is informed and understand the requirements of the ordinance.

Motion to Adopt a Resolution accepting the project report, establishing improvement project No. 4018-1700, approval of the preliminary layout for Louisiana Avenue from Excelsior Boulevard to 400 feet north of Oxford Street and ordering development of final plans for phase 1 construction. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to proceed with the staff recommended options for the Louisiana Avenue corridor as identified in this report? SUMMARY: In 2019, the Louisiana Avenue Bridge over Minnehaha Creek is proposed to be replaced along with the rehabilitation of Louisiana Avenue between Louisiana Circle and Excelsior Boulevard. In order to develop the design recommendations for the 2019 project, a corridor study for Louisiana from Excelsior Boulevard to just north of Oxford Street was completed. This is to ensure that the bridge reconstruction project fits well with the future SWLRT, and the station area redevelopment study. Kimley Horn has developed a preliminary layout for the entire corridor. Staff is looking for guidance from the City Council on the Louisiana Avenue layout. The details regarding the options are presented in the discussion section of the report. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Funding will be provided by a combination of MSA, Pavement Management, State Funding, Utility Funds, and General Obligation Bonds. This project is proposed to be constructed in 3 phases. Phase 1 is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2018 and 2019. The total cost estimate for Phase 1 is estimated at $7,731,750. Additional information on the breakdown of the funding can be found in the discussion section of this report. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.

Heiser, Engineering Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 6c) Page 2 Title: Approve Preliminary Layout for Louisiana Ave. Bridge and Road Reconstruction – Project 4018-1700 DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: In 2019, Louisiana Avenue between Excelsior Boulevard and Louisiana Circle is proposed to be reconstructed. This work includes the replacement of the existing bridge over Minnehaha Creek and the connection to the trail along the creek. Louisiana Avenue is one of only four continuous north/south routes in the city. This road serves residents, visitors, the industrial area around Oxford Street and Methodist Hospital. The average daily traffic on Louisiana Avenue is 13,000 ADT. Due to the proposed light rail station just off Louisiana Avenue, this road is expected to carry 19,000 ADT by 2038. Louisiana Avenue is a B Minor Arterial and is designated as a Municipal State Aid (MSA) road making it eligible for state funding (gas tax dollars). In order to qualify for funding, the project needs to be designed to meet state aid standards. The existing bridge over Minnehaha Creek was constructed in 1970 and is a channel span bridge. Channel span bridges are no longer recommended in locations where road salt is used. The salt can access the steel in these types of bridges which will cause the structure to deteriorate faster than other bridge types. At this time, the bridge replacement is a high priority. The bridge inspection firm - WSB and Associates - inspected the bridge in October of 2015, 2016, and 2017 and is suggesting that the bridge be replaced in 2019 or sooner. This bridge will be inspected annually until it is replaced. In order to ensure that the reconstructed Louisiana Avenue will meet the needs of the City for another 50 years, the city hired Kimley Horn and Associates to take a look at existing and future mobility needs in the corridor. The design is being guided by a group made up of staff from Community Development, Operations and Recreation, Engineering, and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The following is a summary of preliminary layout recommendations for the corridor. Louisiana Avenue Corridor Design A corridor study has been completed to help guide the design of Louisiana Avenue. Using forecasted traffic data, the Comprehensive Plan, and information in the Louisiana Station Area Framework and Design Guidelines (2014), our consultant has put together a recommended preliminary layout for the future road corridor. (See attachment). The recommended typical section of Louisiana Avenue includes the following components: • Two vehicle travel lanes in each direction on Louisiana Avenue • Separated pedestrian concrete sidewalk • Bikeway (cycle track) • Construction of a trail under Louisiana Avenue at Minnehaha Creek • Streetlight replacement • Traffic signal or roundabout at Louisiana Circle • Traffic signal upgrades or roundabout at the intersection of Oxford Street and Louisiana Avenue • Watermain replacement • Storm sewer replacement • Pedestrian safety improvements • ADA improvements at intersections and at signals • Storm water management City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 6c) Page 3 Title: Approve Preliminary Layout for Louisiana Ave. Bridge and Road Reconstruction – Project 4018-1700 The improvements noted above would be constructed in three phases as follows: Bridge Replacement – Phase 1 There are two options to consider with the reconstruction of the Louisiana Avenue Bridge. The bridge could be replaced at similar elevation without the ability for a trail under the new bridge or the bridge could be raised to allow a trail under the new bridge. Please see below for the benefits of each option. Option 1a: Recommended by staff: Raise the bridge to provide a trail connection under (Estimated Cost = $3,504,600) Benefits: 1. Allows trail users the ability to safely cross Louisiana Avenue mid-block separated from vehicular traffic. 2. Provides for the connection of the existing trail west of Minnehaha Creek to a future trail proposed to the east along the creek by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. 3. This bridge is expected to be in place for 70 or more years. It will be a long time before an opportunity will present itself to provide a connection under the bridge. 4. Provides the most open and inviting trail system. 5. It creates safe and comfortable mobility options for users of all ages and abilities. Option 1b: Replace bridge at same elevation (Estimated Cost = $2,559,000) Benefits: 1. Cost – This option is approximately $945,600 cheaper than option 1a. 2. A pedestrian activated flasher would be installed to enhance the safety of this at grade mid- block pedestrian crossing. Louisiana Circle and Louisiana Avenue Intersection - Phase 1 Staff considered two options at this intersection. The options are a roundabout and an upgrade to the traffic signal. At this time, this intersection is proposed to be reconstructed in 2019 with the reconstruction of the bridge. Please see below for a summary of each option. Option 2a: Recommended by staff: Upgrade the existing traffic signal (Estimated Cost = $100,000) Benefits: 1. Cost – This option is $250,000 cheaper than installing a roundabout. 2. Due to lower cross traffic at this intersection, there is a very minimal delay for vehicles so the advantage of decreasing delay is not available. Option 2b: Construct a roundabout at this intersection (Estimated Cost = $350,000) Benefits: 1. Traffic calming- roundabouts require cars to slow down as the maneuver around the roundabout. 2. Pedestrian safety- Cars slow down as they enter the roundabout, and are required to yield to pedestrians crossing at each leg of the intersection. In addition, there are shorter pedestrian crossing distances and the cars are only coming from one direction for each crossing. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 6c) Page 4 Title: Approve Preliminary Layout for Louisiana Ave. Bridge and Road Reconstruction – Project 4018-1700 3. Safer for vehicles – MnDOT collected data at existing roundabouts and released a report in 2017. The data shows a 78% reduction in serious injury crashes at an unbalanced roundabout. 4. Provides an opportunity for installing landscaping or a monument feature for future transit oriented development. Oxford Street and Louisiana Avenue Intersection – Phase 2 Phase 2 is the reconstruction of the intersection of Oxford Street and Louisiana Avenue. This intersection is directly adjacent to the Louisiana Avenue Light Rail Station. The reason for constructing this intersection with Phase 2 is so that it can be coordinated with Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT). The consultant has reviewed the intersection for an upgraded signal system and for a roundabout. Since there would be two lanes in each direction heading north and south and one lane in each direction east and west, the roundabout would be considered unbalanced. This roundabout is very similar to the roundabout north on Louisiana Avenue at Lake Street. Please see below for a summary of the options. Option 3a: Recommended by staff: Construct a roundabout at this intersection (Est. Cost = $2,083,800) Benefits 1. Traffic calming- roundabouts require cars to slow down as the maneuver around the roundabout. 2. If the signal is upgraded, the average delay per vehicle which enters this intersection is expected to be 7 seconds per vehicle longer than a roundabout. Constructing the roundabout will reduce greenhouse gas emissions as cars continue to move versus stopping at a red light and idling. Using an estimation by the Federal Highway Administration, it is estimated to cost users of the intersection $900,000 extra for a traffic signal by factoring in the time delay versus the roundabout during a 30 year timeframe. 3. Pedestrian Safety – Cars slow down as they enter the roundabout, and are required to yield to pedestrians trying to cross at each leg of the intersection. In addition, there are shorter pedestrian crossing distances and the cars are only coming from one direction for each crossing. 4. Safer for vehicles – MnDOT collected data at existing roundabouts and released a report in 2017. The data shows a 78% reduction in serious injury crashes at an unbalanced roundabout. Also, using the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) – It is estimated that the cost of crashes at this intersection would be reduced by $560,226 using a roundabout versus a traffic signal. 5. Provides an opportunity for installing landscaping or a monument feature for future transit oriented development. Option 3b: Upgrade the signal system (Estimated Cost = $814,200) Benefits 1. Cost – This option is $1,269,600 less than the cost of a roundabout. Reconstruction of Louisiana Ave from Oxford St. to Louisina Circle - Phase 3 This projec would complete the missing link between phase 1 and phase 2. In June of 2014, this section of road was closed for many days due to the elevation of the creek. Due to flooding issues on Louisiana Avenue between Louisiana Circle and Oxford Street, we recommend raising the grade of the road to be able to keep the road open when the creek is high. The emergency department at Methodist Hospital needs reliable access to be able to provide a high level of service City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 6c) Page 5 Title: Approve Preliminary Layout for Louisiana Ave. Bridge and Road Reconstruction – Project 4018-1700 to its patients. Also with the future redevelopment of this area, residents will need to be able to access their homes. One of the major constraints for Phase 3 construction is the existing railroad spur. This spur serves one business which is located next to the Municipal Service Center. If this spur were to be removed, it could provide a better pedestrian connection between Methodist Hospital and the Light Rail Station and also enable the City to raise Louisiana Avenue so that it would not flood when Minnehaha Creek is high. Staff is estimating that this phase would take place around 2028. Bicycle Facility The 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies a bikeway on this segment of Louisiana Avenue. The Connect the Park implementation plan identified this bikeway segment as part of the connected city wide network of 32 miles of bikeways being proposed for implementation by 2023. Staff is recommending a bike facility (cycle track) be constructed on Louisiana Avenue within the project limits. The cycle track is directional and separated from the sidewalk to make it safer for bikers and pedestrians. Each section of cycle track would be constructed in conjunction with each phase. The cycle track would be 5 foot wide and located at the back of the proposed curb. Since the corridor is proposed to be constructed in phases, a temporary bike facility will need to be constructed during phase 1 to route bikes through phase 2 and phase 3. Sidewalk Phase 1 of this project will include the construction of new sidewalk on the west side of Louisiana Avenue between the Louisiana Avenue Bridge over Minnehaha Creek and Excelsior Boulevard. New sidewalk will be also be constructed on Louisiana Avenue through the rest of the corridor as the proposed cycle track is in a similar location of the existing sidewalk and the profile of the road is changing. Private Utility Replacement: Staff is working with private utility companies to determine their corridor replacement needs. Our plan is to complete the Phase 1 final plans in the summer of 2018 to allow private utilities time to relocate or replace their utilities in the fall of 2018. This will hopefully minimize any delays for the construction of Phase 1. Pavement Rehabilitation: Staff is recommending a full reconstruct of the pavement along this corridor. A full reconstruct consists of the removal of the curb and gutter, pavement, and sidewalk. Staff is recommending that the existing concrete road be replaced with bituminous. This should help lower the noise created by the cars driving on the concrete surface. In addition to the reconstruct, staff is anticipating the need to upgrade the curb ramps at each intersection to meet the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Stormwater Management Since, the current plan is designed at a 30% level design, staff has not yet identified the corridor storm water treatment strategy. Once a preliminary layout is approved by City Council, Kimley Horn will start work on developing possible storm water treatment opportunities. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 6c) Page 6 Title: Approve Preliminary Layout for Louisiana Ave. Bridge and Road Reconstruction – Project 4018-1700 City Utility Construction As a part of all of our street rehabilitation projects, the City evaluates the condition of the existing sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water main. Due to the condition, location, and its age, the watermain and storm sewer are proposed to be replaced within each phase of construction. Public Process Engineering hosted a public meeting on October 4, 2017 to gather public input prior to starting the preliminary layout design. The meeting was attended by a representative of Park Nicollet/ Methodist Hospital and a resident interested in the bicycle connections. Park Nicollet/ Methodist Hospital owns a majority of the property along this corridor. We have met with their staff three times in the last few months to ensure they are aware of the project and have input into the design of Louisiana Avenue. We have received the following feedback from Methodist Hospital on the proposed design scope: • Entrance modifications – Option 1a requires the closure of the north entrance into 6600- 6700 Louisiana Avenue. They are receptive to this idea as long as the south entrance is widened to accommodate staff and visitors. • They support the pedestrian underpass for their staff and visitors to be able to access the trail along Minnehaha Creek without crossing Louisiana Avenue. • Concern about safety of the pedestrian underpass at night but liked that we are planning to add sufficient lighting. • Methodist staff reviewed two options at Louisiana Circle. One option is updating of the signal system and one is converting the intersection to a roundabout. We received comments for and against both options. • Concerned that raising the bridge near the Stilts Building could create more noise. • Traffic Management – Park Nicollet has provided staff feedback that they are concerned with the speed of traffic on Louisiana Avenue. • They like the cycle track as it provides an additional and healthier way to access the hospital. Staff has also met with managers from ERA Apartments regarding the proposed project. Please see their comments below: • Like the cycle track as it provides a future connection for their residents to access the Louisiana Avenue Light Rail Station. • Support the raising of the bridge to construct the trail underpass as they are concerned about residents crossing Louisiana Avenue to access the trail at Methodist Hospital. • They are happy about the additional sidewalk on the west side of Louisiana Avenue from Excelsior Boulevard to the Louisiana Avenue Bridge as it provides another route pedestrians could use to access the future light rail station. Another public meeting is scheduled for March 15 at the ERA Apartment Clubhouse so that residents who were unable to attend the other meetings can still provide feedback on the final design. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The following tables outline the estimated project costs. The Roadway and Bridge costs would be funded using Municipal State Aid funds and Bridge bonding.

POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does city council support this proposed redevelopment of the subject properties. SUMMARY: Mr. William Stoddard, CEO of Stoddard Companies, proposes a redevelopment that would include a 149-unit apartment building and a 100 room limited service hotel. The apartment building would be located on the west side of the property, and the hotel on the east side with surface parking located between them. Two existing billboards would be removed. The property is guided and zoned Office. The PUD application includes requests for reduced setbacks, and reduced parking for the hotel. The maximum residential density allowed for multiple family residential use in the Office district is 50 units per acre, or more with a PUD. The PUD would be 3.13 acres which allows up to 156 units. The requested 149-unit apartment building fits within this limit. The PUD would be split into two lots. The density of the residential lot alone would be 89 units per acre, however, the PUD would prohibit residential uses on the hotel lot. A neighborhood meeting was held June 14, 2017, which two neighbors attended and both expressed support. The planning commission reviewed the applications for preliminary plat and preliminary PUD on June 21, 2017. The commission opened the public hearing and continued it to a future date, and passed a motion to table the applications until additional information was provided. The commission reopened, then closed, the public hearing on October 4, 2017, at which time the commission recommended approval of the applications with conditions. City council approved the preliminary plat and preliminary PUD on October 16, 2017. TIF District: The Economic Development Authority (EDA) established the Wayzata Blvd Tax Increment Financing District on March 21, 2016 in anticipation of redevelopment. City council reviewed the TIF application on February 12, 2018 where is was favorably received. The apartment building will be subject to the Inclusionary Housing Policy and both buildings will be subject to the Green Building Policy. Right-of-Way: The city acquired the right-of-way along Wayzata Boulevard adjacent to the site from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The city intends to vacate the excess right-of- way and sell the land to the developer in order to facilitate the proposed redevelopment. The plat and rezoning include the right-of-way proposed to be vacated. The public hearing and first reading of the vacation request are on the city council’s agenda for the same meeting SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion, Resolution, Legal Description, Draft PUD Ordinance, Development Plans Prepared by: Jacquelyn Kramer, Associate Planner Reviewed by: Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 8a) Page 2 Title: Proposed Redevelopment – 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd. (former Santorini’s site) DISCUSSION REQUEST: SLP Venture Properties requests a Final Plat and a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow construction of two buildings: a six-story 149-unit apartment building and a six- story 100-room hotel. The buildings would be located on two parcels in the northwest corner of I- 394 and US 169, and adjacent public land along Wayzata Boulevard. The PUD would be a rezoning of the property under the city’s PUD ordinance. BACKGROUND: The site includes three parcels improved with two billboards. The previous use of the site was the Santorini restaurant, which closed and was demolished in 2013. SITE INFORMATION: Site Area: 3.19 acres Current Zoning: O - Office Proposed Zoning: PUD - Planned Unit Development Comprehensive Plan: OFC - Office Current Use: Billboards, vacant land Surrounding Land Uses: North: Parking garages, office towers East: 394-169 interchange and US-169 South: Wayzata Boulevard and I-394 West: Mixed use commercial and apartment building. Shelard Park is also located about 700 feet to the northwest. Interstate 394 Wayzata Boulevard Highway 169 City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 8a) Page 3 Title: Proposed Redevelopment – 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd. (former Santorini’s site) FINAL PLAT ANALYSIS: Description: The developer requests a final plat to combine and subdivide previously unplatted parcels into two new lots. There are two parcels that are privately owned. In addition, the application proposes to acquire publicly-owned land adjacent to the site along Wayzata Boulevard. The city recently acquired the land from MNDOT. The land was released to the city in 2013 and conveyed by quitclaim deed to the city in August 2017. The applicant intends to acquire the land shown in the plat from the EDA. Lot 1, Block 1, Platia Place is the westerly lot and is proposed to be 71,608 square feet (1.64 acres) in area. The site is proposed to contain a multiple family residential building. Lot 2, Block 1 Platia Place is the easterly lot and is proposed to be 67,317 square feet (1.55 acres) in area. A hotel is proposed on this lot. The lots in the proposed plat meets all subdivision requirements for minimum lot size, shape, and dimension. Utility Easements: The proposed plat provides standard drainage and utility easements along the perimeters of each lot. The easements are 10 feet wide adjacent to public roads and five feet wide on both sides of all interior lot lines including the north lot line adjacent to the parking ramps. The plat includes additional easements over the proposed location of public utilities that would be relocated as part of the redevelopment. The application proposes relocating existing sanitary sewer forcemain and water mains around the southwest corner of the proposed apartment building, and extending utility easements to accommodate these utilities. Staff finds the proposed easements are sufficiently wide for the proposed depths of the sanitary sewer forcemain and water mains, based upon the engineering details and profiles provided. Park and Trail Dedication: The park dedication fee due for the proposed Platia Place subdivision is $289,295. Trail dedication fee is $33,525. These figures are based on $1,500 park dedication fee and $225 trail dedication fee per dwelling unit for the multiple family residential lot, and five percent of the commercial assessed land value of the hotel lot. The city will collect these fees prior to signing the final plat. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC) recommended that city council approve of cash-in-lieu of park land dedication on June 7, 2016. The final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat approvals. FINAL PUD ANALYSIS: The proposed plan is consistent with the Preliminary Planned Unit Development approved by city council October 16, 2016. The Final PUD application has also addressed all the conditions of the preliminary approvals. In the zoning analysis, staff has highlighted those elements of the proposed plan that required PUD approval. The PUD zoning district will allow reduced building setbacks, an increase in the floor area ratio on the apartment lot, and reduced parking for the hotel. The following table provides the development metrics. The property will be rezoned to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed performance and development standards, as indicated in the development plans, would establish the development requirements for this property.

The requested 149 unit apartment building fits within this limit. The PUD will be split into two lots. The proposed density for just the residential parcel would be 89 units per acre, however, additional residential development will not be permitted on the hotel property. Vehicular Parking: On-street parking is prohibited on Wayzata Boulevard. All parking will be provided off-street. Residential: One off-street parking space is required for every bedroom in the apartment building. Of these spaces, 10% shall be permitted for visitor parking. The applicant proposes 203 bedrooms City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 8a) Page 5 Title: Proposed Redevelopment – 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd. (former Santorini’s site) in the apartment building, therefore, 203 parking spaces are required and 20 of these should be available for visitor parking. The application shows 213 parking spaces for the residential building, of which 23 are designated visitor parking. Commercial: One and a half off-street parking spaces are required for every hotel room. However, a parking study was conducted in conjunction with the Courtyard by Marriott hotel currently under construction on Shelard Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard. The study indicated that parking demand for limited service hotels, hotels that do not include restaurants or significant meeting rooms, and located in this part of the city, could be reduced to one space per room. Based on this study and the proposed 100-room limited service hotel, staff supports reducing the requirement to the 114 off-street parking spaces shown in the application for the hotel. The developer has agreed to provide infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations on both sites. Landscaping: The development will plant a total of 150 trees and 1,563 shrubs. The plan includes eligible alternative landscape plantings and other features that also contribute to the overall landscaping plan. The planting plan includes native landscaping, including 596 perennial plantings on the residential lot. Other alternative landscaping features include planting trays and green roof features on private balconies and the upper amenity patio. The developer intends to include artwork on the site, as well. Art: The applicant has agreed to spend at least $25,000 for privately-owned artwork to be displayed on the development site. This art contributes to the alternative landscaping on the site. Selection of the artwork and location will be through an administrative city-led process that includes public participation, including a small group of city staff, neighbors, Friends of the Arts, and other representatives identified by the city staff, as well as the property owner. Prior to its installation, the artwork shall be reasonably approved by the City Manager or designee. The applicant will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the artwork. Designed Outdoor Recreation Area (DORA): The amount and quality of the DORA included in the plans has been increased on the hotel lot to be consistent with the conditions of Preliminary PUD approval. The two parcels now would contain a combined total of 25.2% DORA. The residential lot includes 39.2% DORA, and the hotel lot contains 9.4% DORA. The residential DORA includes a dog run north of the residential building, landscaped outdoor space south of the residential building, an outdoor amenity deck on the upper story, and a pool and amenity deck on the second story of the residential building. The hotel DORA includes a rooftop terrace, a patio west of the hotel, and a landscaped lawn with outdoor furniture south of the hotel. Utilities: The water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater mains in the area have the capacity to accommodate the proposed development. The plan proposes to relocate existing water mains and existing sanitary sewer forcemain around the southwest corner of the proposed apartment building. The engineering details and profiles submitted have responded to the conditions in the preliminary approvals. City Council Meeting of March 5, 2018 (Item No. 8a) Page 6 Title: Proposed Redevelopment – 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd. (former Santorini’s site) Refuse Handling: Facilities for garbage, recycling and organics will be provided on both lots, and will fully comply with the city’s Solid Waste Ordinance. PUBLIC INPUT: A neighborhood meeting was held June 14, 2017 on the proposed project. Two residents attended and expressed support for the project and development on the site, and no objections from residents were expressed. Planning Commission opened the public hearing on June 21, 2017. At this time two residents spoke in favor of the proposed development. Planning Commission reopened the public hearing on October 4, 2017, at which time one resident returned to reiterate support for the project. The Planning Commission formally recommended approval on a 5-0-1 vote. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: • Staff recommend approval of the Final Plat based on the findings in the report, with conditions listed in the draft resolution. • Staff recommend approval of the Final PUD, based on the findings in the report.
