Meeting: Special Study Session
Meeting Date: April 2, 2018
Discussion Item: 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Wayside Recovery Center / Future North-South Road Connection
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss and provide direction to staff on whether to preserve the
option to build a north-south road connection in the future.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Should the city preserve the option to build a future north-south
road connection across a portion of the property located at 3705 Park Center Boulevard?
SUMMARY: Wayside Recovery Center (“Wayside”) is considering an expansion of their existing
facility. As they consider both relocation and expansion options, they met with city staff to
determine if their preliminary building program could work on the site and what approvals are needed.
Staff is supportive of the proposed expansion and identified a path forward for city review. Staff
also shared background about a planned roadway across the western part of the Wayside property.
A long-range development plans for the area proposed and studied in more detail a new north-
south road connection between Excelsior Boulevard and Park Center Boulevard. Right-of-way has
been dedicated for this future roadway across part of the Park Nicollet Clinic campus. The city
does not have an easement or right-of-way across the Wayside property. More information about
the planned roadway, Park Commons Concept Plan, and Park Commons West Feasibility Study
are provided later in the report. Staff has reviewed the proposed road layout and will present a
cursory evaluation of the road layout at the study session.
The potential benefits of a road connection in this area include improved north-south connectivity,
improved circulation in the Park Commons area, it may help accommodate growth in this area,
and it affords opportunities to improve operations on Excelsior Boulevard at Highway 100.
Wayside provides a valued service and has been a welcomed part of the community since 1989.
The possibility of a future roadway corridor going across the western 60 feet of the Wayside
property may influence Wayside’s decision to expand in St. Louis Park, and if they proceed at this
location it may influence how they develop the site.
City staff informed Wayside that the amount of planning, community involvement, and
preliminary design for this road connection indicates that the city should protect the option to build
the road in the future. The city may add this infrastructure in conjunction with future growth and
when traffic demands. It is not in the city’s 10-year capital improvement plan. City staff is seeking
city council direction on this matter.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

Special Study Session Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 2
Title: Wayside Recovery Center / Future North-South Road Connection
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The following is a very brief history of the plans and evaluation that has
occurred with regard to the future road connection. Also, a description of Wayside’s use.
North-South Road Connection Background: Wayside’s property is part of a larger “Park
Commons” planning area. This was a long range development plan for the area bounded by
Highway 100, Excelsior Boulevard, Monterey Drive, and 36th Street West. The Park Commons
Concept Plan emerged from the 1995 Vision process and a community Town Center Charrette.
Eventually the concept plan was adopted into the Comprehensive Plan Redevelopment Chapter in
1998, and it spurred land use and zoning changes in the area. In the current Comprehensive Plan,
the Park Commons plan is still referenced in the Redevelopment Chapter, though less detail is
provided about the plan elements than in previous plans.
The Park Commons Concept Plan led to many transformative projects in the city, including the
Excelsior & Grand redevelopment, Rec Center expansion, Wolfe Park improvements, and
streetscape enhancements. Most of those improvements were part of the “Park Commons East”
planning area and earlier phases of development. Additional future phases of development and
public improvements were also planned west of Wolfe Park, and called “Park Commons West”.
Wayside is within the Park Commons West area. The Park Commons West Feasibility Study was
completed in 1999 with input from a community task force. Included in the feasibility study were
north/south roadway alternatives. This study recommended a road layout connection from
Excelsior Boulevard to Park Center Boulevard that was roughly aligned with Quentin Avenue at
Excelsior Boulevard. Property owners adjacent to the road connection, including Park Nicollet,
Byerly’s and Wayside, were consulted during the feasibility study. Also, a representative of
Wayside, Mary Thorpe-Mease, was a member of the task force.
The Park Commons West Task Force recommendation regarding the north-south roadway was
that it should be a three-lane (two through lanes with turn lanes at intersections) north-south
roadway along the east side of Park Commons West [to be constructed] when the need for the road
is demonstrated, with the following conditions:
•The roadway is designed as a parkway with planted median; sidewalks; and, if space
allows, on-street parking; except at pedestrian crossings.
•The intersection at Quentin and Excelsior is designed and the signal is timed to discourage
through trips to/from the south side of Excelsior Boulevard, while facilitating pedestrian
crossings.
•Quentin between Excelsior and 39th Street is realigned only when warranted by traffic
volumes.
•The roadway is posted for speeds of no more than 25 miles per hour.
•Concerns about Byerly’s parcel pick-up and truck access will be satisfactorily resolved
•Pedestrian crossings at intersections are well marked and pedestrian scale lighting and
related amenities are provided, including median pedestrian landings where needed.
In 2003, the city completed the Elmwood Area Land Use, Transit and Transportation Study which
suggested a new overpass over Highway 100 connecting Wooddale Avenue South to the Park
Commons Area. As a follow up to that work, preliminary engineering road layouts were produced
in 2004 that knit together some of the transportation proposals from the Park Commons and
Elmwood Area plans.
Special Study Session Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 3
Title: Wayside Recovery Center / Future North-South Road Connection
Elements of the Park Commons Concept Plan have evolved through the implementation process,
though execution of the plan still achieved many of the goals and principles that were established
for the area. As with any plan, elements of the plan can and will change; however, when changes
are contemplated, the efforts, process and decision-making that went into creating the plan should
be considered.
Wayside Background: The current use of the property is a 41-bed residential treatment facility,
classified as a group home/nonstatutory use in the zoning code. The site is 2.12 acres. The property
is zoned Mixed-Use (MX). The present Wayside use was specifically included in the then new
MX zoning district as a permitted use, by permitting in the district any group home/non-statutory
use in existence on June 1, 1999. This avoided Wayside from being deemed a nonconforming use
of the property. The following is a brief description of the services provided by Wayside (source:
www.waysiderecovery.org):
“Wayside provides comprehensive care for women and families, helping women find healing for
substance abuse and mental illness.”
“Wayside Women's Treatment Center is a residential program for women whose substance use is
complicated by other mental health issues. Substance use treatment services help women break the
cycle of addiction and work toward wellness and stability.
This program is typically about 90 days of residential placement followed by 12 weeks of non-
residential treatment and recovery maintenance outpatient programming.
Licensed alcohol and drug abuse counselors work with licensed mental health professionals,
nursing staff, case managers, peer recovery specialists and other supplemental services including
on-site parenting groups, wellness services and educators to provide a holistic array of services.
All of these services are provided within a therapeutic milieu shaped by relational-cultural therapy
and trauma-informed care.”
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS:
Wayside: Wayside is considering new and expanded use of the St. Louis Park property. Wayside
contemplates consolidating their two residential campuses (one in St. Louis Park and one in
Minneapolis) as well as their administration location in Edina into one campus.
Wayside may propose expanding their residential chemical dependency bed space to accommodate
up to 80 room-sharing adults and up to 32 children (ages birth – 11) for their family services. The
preliminary building program for the site would also include a cafeteria and commercial kitchen,
medical office space, therapeutic child care and learning center, educational series community
room, clinical services, administration offices, and outdoor amenity area. The program
contemplates a multi-story building with underground and above ground parking.
No specific site or building plans have yet been developed to demonstrate how the proposed
program would fit on the property. Wayside is seeking clarity on the issue of the roadway and the
approval process prior to expending funds on concept and schematic design plans.
In order to accommodate the variety of uses proposed for the site, and to provide greater flexibility
on setback and parking requirements, staff has recommended that Wayside pursue a planned unit
development (PUD). None of the city’s zoning districts currently allow all of the proposed uses.
Special Study Session Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 4
Title: Wayside Recovery Center / Future North-South Road Connection
A PUD would provide the flexibility to tailor the allowed uses and the site design standards to the
Wayside proposal.
North-South Road Connection: The Park Commons West area remains a future growth area. There
are still several large surface parking lots and single use sites and buildings that are somewhat
inefficient uses of the land. Recent projects such as The Verge apartments, 4800 Excelsior, and
Wayside’s interest in expansion reinforce that the area is remains attractive for development and
business expansion. This area remains a focal point for the community and serves as a town center.
To date, the development growth that was planned for Park Commons West has not materialized
in the projected timeframes. The current uses are generally still successful and desirable. Staff also
believes the market is likely to be more attracted to development opportunities nearer the future
light rail transit stations in the coming years, which may limit the development pressure in Park
Commons West.
No significant development proposals have yet emerged that would increase traffic levels in the
area enough to warrant the planned road improvements. The planned road improvements will be
relatively expensive improvements, and that expense will need to demonstrate clear benefits.
Staff has worked with SRF Consulting Group to assist in a cursory assessment of the transportation
benefits and options related to the 2004 Roadway Layout that may be explored further in the future,
and may be helpful in the city council’s study session discussion. Staff intends to present a few of
those thoughts at the meeting.
Staff’s conclusion is that the amount of planning, community involvement, and preliminary design
for this road connection indicates that the city should protect the option to build the north-south
road connection in the future. Staff also finds that a future road connection would provide benefit
to the area.
NEXT STEPS: Based on the discussion and direction from city council, Wayside will present the
information learned from the meeting with its board and help them to reach their decisions. Staff
will evaluate the best path forward to implement the city council’s direction on this matter. Any
actions that would require city financial resources would be brought back to city council for review
and action.
Assuming a path forward is identified that provides Wayside with some certainty about how they
need to design the site, city staff will work with Wayside as they develop their plans and to
shepherd the proposal through the city review process.

6. Public Hearings
6a. Tenant Protection Ordinance.
Ms. Schnitker presented the staff report. She noted that council directed staff to convene a
work group with representatives from Minnesota Multi-Housing Association, the St. Louis
Park rental community, and agencies advocating for NOAH preservation strategies. The
purpose of the group was to review and discuss the NOAH preservation strategies being
considered by the council and to determine if there is any middle ground for a workable
solution. Ms. Schnitker stated that although the group did not reach agreement or middle
ground on three of the four strategies being considered by council, they did generate several
NOAH preservation strategies where they were able to reach general agreement.
Ms. Schnitker noted that one strategy proposed establishes a tenant protection period
following the sale of a NOAH property. The draft ordinance implementing a three-month
tenant protection period for residents of NOAH properties at the time of transfer of
ownership was presented to council in February. The council supported the proposed
ordinance at that time and directed staff to move forward with the implementation.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Kirsten Breken Albrights, 8607 Westmoreland Lane, stated she has lived at this residence
for 24 years. She noted that she is a member of the housing work group and that due to a
transfer in ownership at Meadowbrook Apartments, many residents were displaced. She
stated that this ordinance is a step in the right direction; however, the lack of affordable
housing in St. Louis Park continues to be an issue which can affect residents regarding
schools, childcare, and loss of employment and friendships. She stated that the work group
looks forward to partnering with the council on this issue.
Kelly Zastro, 7505 North Street, stated that this ordinance moves the city in the right
direction and will deter owners of affordable housing buildings from changes within a 90-
day period. She added that it is a positive step to protecting tenants but does not help them
from being displaced. She noted that finding other affordable housing in St. Louis Park is
a formidable task, and residents do not just lose housing but also lose schools, jobs, and
childcare, which can all have a lifelong impact.
Fatuma Irshat, 7227 Oak Park Village, stated that she will continue to advocate for
affordable housing and the affordable housing trust fund for the city in order to protect
tenants.
Nancy Brown, 2625 Salem Avenue, stated she has lived at this address since 1978. She is
a board member of Jewish Community Action and is passionate about renters’ rights. She
stated that she had worked on a lot of foreclosures on the north side of Minneapolis, adding
that some residents had only 2-3 weeks to find new housing and had no rights at all. She
wants to be sure that this does not happen to St. Louis Park renters. Ms. Brown added if
the city breaks their commitment to these residents, it will be unhealthy for them and for
St. Louis Park, also.
Aaron Burke, Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, stated that he is a staff member at Jewish
Community Action, adding that while the ordinance is modest in scope, it will protect
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of March 5, 2018
tenants. He is very supportive of this but also noted that while helpful, it does nothing to
address affordable housing or displaced persons.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the notice of sale will apply to foreclosures. Ms.
Schnitker stated yes, if it is a NOAH property. Councilmember Brausen asked if the notice
will be required at the time of the sheriff’s sale or at the end of the redemption period. City
Attorney Mattick stated that it will be required at the end of the redemption period.
Councilmember Mavity stated that she has concerns about the definitions of affordable rent
and how those will be established. She asked about the scenario of a building owner
anticipating a sale that might generate higher rents in order to make it more attractive for
the buyer. She wondered at what point rent is established and stated that she would prefer
rent to be established 12 months prior to. Ms. Schnitker explained that part of reason this
ordinance would not be implemented until July is so that staff can work on these processes.
Councilmember Mavity stated that she has some questions and concerns about this
provision and when rents are certified, adding that it feels vulnerable to gaming. She added
the ordinance must be worded clearly about this.
City Attorney Mattick stated that this matter was discussed. Annual rental licensing will
be a check point, when owners must self-report on how many units they have. Ms.
Schnitker added that establishing rent would be part of the licensing information that the
owner submits to the city
Councilmember Mavity asked for further clarification on this issue before the March 19
second reading of the ordinance. She also noted that she will not be in attendance at the
meeting on March 19. Councilmember Mavity stated that after working on affordable
housing for most of her career, it wasn’t until she was a councilmember and the situation
at Meadowbrook came up that she realized what a great impact that displacement can have
on individuals. She stated that it is heartbreaking and has been quite a learning experience
for her. She thanked those involved in working on this problem.
Councilmember Rog congratulated the housing work group members for doing great work.
She added that Meadowbrook was actually a transfer of ownership, and not a sale, and this
type of transfer should also be described and included this ordinance. Ms. Schnitker stated
that the ordinance would not apply to this type of ownership transfer. Councilmember Rog
asked about increasing the NOAH threshold percentage if the Inclusionary Housing Policy
is amended. Ms. Schnitker stated that if council would like to change the percentage, they
can amend the ordinance at a later date.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if the information that owners must self-report to the city as
part of the licensing process is private information and if the city can enforce owners to
provide it. City Attorney Mattick stated that based on the ordinance, the city will ask for
the information but will not do audits or ask to see their ledgers. He added that owners are
expected to be truthful in this application, noting that they could lose their license if they
don’t report this information accurately. Ms. Schnitker added that if owners don’t comply
with the ordinance, residents can take legal action, as well.
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of March 5, 2018
Councilmember Brausen stated that he will support the ordinance, adding that it is a small
step forward on affordable housing. He stated that he has the same concerns as
Councilmember Mavity on rents and believes that stronger ordinances are needed in order
to protect the rights of tenants. Further work will need to be done.
Councilmember Harris thanked staff and the housing work group for their work and
indicated that she will support it.
Councilmember Rog added that the 90-day period may not be enough time, and she would
like to consider a longer time period.
Mayor Spano stated that he is supporting the ordinance but would like the second reading
to be rescheduled from the March 19 date. He proposed April 2. Mayor Spano stated that
the Meadowbrook issue was a learning experience, and while this ordinance does not solve
all the problems, it is a good first step. He added that he looks forward to meeting with
Minneapolis Mayor Frey and other area mayors regarding regional housing strategies.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to approve
the First Reading of an Ordinance amending Chapters 8, Section 8-336 of the St. Louis
Park City Code relating to a Tenant Protection Period Following the Sale of an Affordable
Housing Building and to set the second reading for April 2, 2018.
The motion passed 6-0.
6b. First Reading of Ordinance Vacating Right-of-Way Adjacent to 9808 and 9920
Wayzata Blvd.
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report. She stated that the city proposes to vacate the right-
of-way that is located 15 feet from the north curb line of Wayzata Boulevard and adjacent
to the parcels at 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd. The land is proposed to be sold to a private
developer in order to facilitate redevelopment of the adjacent parcels for an apartment
building and hotel. Final plat and final PUD applications are also on the council’s agenda
for consideration later tonight. The second reading is scheduled for the March 19 meeting.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Jerry Curn, 1155 Ford Road, stated that he lives right next to this parcel of land for 9 years.
He stated that since the land has been vacant, it has become a dump site, adding that he has
seen trucks come at 2 - 3 a.m. and dump mattresses and other trash. He stated that it is
disgusting to look at. When he heard about this project, he was very happy. He asked the
council to approve the project.
The applicant, Mr. Stoddard, thanked the council and staff for their consideration and was
available for answering questions.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Brausen stated this project will take care of the dumping problem, adding
that while it took time to find the right applicant, he strongly supports the project.
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of March 5, 2018
Mayor Spano thanked the applicant for the project. He noted that if residents see items
being dumped at any time, they should contact city staff to report it.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Harris, to approve
the first reading of an Ordinance Vacating Right-of-Way and to set the second reading for
March 19, 2018.
The motion passed 6-0.
6c. Preliminary Layout for Louisiana Avenue Bridge & Road Reconstruction-
Project 4018-1700. Resolution No. 18-046
Mr. Shamla presented the staff report. He noted that Phase 1 of the Louisiana Avenue
Improvement Project will include replacement of the bridge over Minnehaha Creek and
the rehabilitation of Louisiana Avenue between Louisiana Circle and Excelsior Boulevard.
Kimley Horn developed a preliminary layout for the entire corridor, which was presented
to the council. Mr. Shamla noted that a corridor study of Louisiana Avenue from Excelsior
to the railroad tracks was completed to ensure that the Phase 1 project fits well with the
future SWLRT and the ultimate corridor reconstruction.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing. No speakers were present. Mayor Spano closed
the public hearing.
Councilmember Hallfin suggested, in light of the Climate Action Plan, to spend extra
money in order to cut some seconds of car idling. He also asked why the traffic signal is
needed at the entrance to Methodist Hospital. Ms. Heiser stated that it serves as their
emergency vehicle entrance, and Methodist Hospital paid for the signal 7 years ago.
Mr. Harmening added that another concern of the hospital is that employees walk across
Louisiana Avenue at this point to access other hospital buildings, and they use this traffic
signal.
Councilmember Hallfin suggested changing this light to a pedestrian crossing light instead.
Mr. Shamla, however, noted that the traffic light has emergency vehicle preemption, which
helps an ambulance turning into the entrance.
Councilmember Mavity stated that she loves this project, especially because of the fiber
optics that will be installed, which will be a great help and the most modern technology.
She added that she likes the staff recommendations at this point, keeping in mind that this
must be built for current and future traffic needs, while keeping in mind the Climate Action
Plan. She stated that she supports the roundabout at Oxford but has concerns when
pedestrians need to cross the two lanes of traffic. Councilmember Harris stated that she
wonders how usable the roundabout design is for cyclists and how that will work. Ms.
Heiser explained that a cyclist can either take the lane or use the cycle track to go through
the roundabout.
Councilmember Harris commented on the recommendation to raise the bridge to allow a
trail crossing underneath, adding that this will be an opportunity to connect the existing
trails, which is beneficial to all users and a valuable connection for the ERA at Excelsior
Apartments. She added that she is in favor of the project.
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 8
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of March 5, 2018
Councilmember Rog asked staff what the timing of phase 2 of the project will be. Mr.
Shamla stated that phase 2 will need to coordinate with the light rail project, while also
providing the least amount of inconvenience for Methodist Hospital and emergency
vehicles.
Councilmember Rog stated she is in favor of the project with a caveat for the Oxford and
Louisiana roundabout. She would prefer to reassess that part of the project at a later date
and determine if it is needed. Mr. Shamla stated that staff will be bringing Phase 2 back to
the city council prior to developing final plans. Councilmember Rog added she liked the
way-finding and signage and suggested that this would be a good opportunity to create a
sense of place and add additional character to this project.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 18-046, 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.
The motion passed 5-1. (Councilmember Rog opposed).
7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. Proposed Redevelopment – 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd (former Santorini’s
Site). Resolution No. 18-047
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report, noting that the applicant, Mr. Stoddard, proposes a
redevelopment of the site including a 149-unit apartment building and a 100-room limited
service hotel. She added that the apartment building will be 10% affordable at 50% AMI,
per the city’s policy.
Councilmember Brausen noted that garbage collection was approved on the site.
Mayor Spano stated two council members will not be in attendance at the March 19
meeting and asked how many are required to approve the second reading. Mr. Walther
stated that the second reading can be considered on a different date, and he would work
with staff on this, if needed.
Councilmember Brausen asked Mr. Stoddard what led to the reduction of rooms in the
project. Mr. Stoddard stated that they are going to make some of the room sizes larger and
increase amenities, thereby lowering the number of rooms in the apartment building.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to adopt
Resolution No. 18-047, approving a Final Plat, subject to conditions, and to approve First
Reading of an Ordinance adding Section 36-268-PUD 9 to the Zoning Code and amending
the Zoning Map from O-Office to PUD 9 for the land located at 9808 and 9920 Wayzata
Blvd., and setting the second reading for March 19, 2018.

CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
MARCH 19, 2018
The meeting convened at 6:15 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Tim Brausen, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Hallfin, Rachel Harris, Thom
Miller, and Margaret Rog.
Councilmember absent: Mayor Jake Spano and Councilmember Anne Mavity
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Sr. Engineering Project Manager (Mr. Sullivan),
Engineering Director (Ms. Heiser), Economic Development Coordinator (Mr. Hunt), Community
Development Director (Mr. Barton), Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms.
Deno), Planner (Ms. Monson), Planning & Zoning Supervisor (Mr. Walther), and Recording
Secretary (Ms. Pappas).
Guest: Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture; Matt Pacyna, SRF Consulting.
1. Monterey Drive Multimodal Study and Bridgewater Bank Traffic Study
Ms. Monson and Mr. Sullivan presented the report.
Mr. Sullivan stated that the Bridgewater Bank proposal fit into the Monterey Drive multimodal
study as part of Connect the Park because the redesign of the area has implications for the
Bridgewater Bank development site access. He noted that the city is in the process of preparing a
concept design for Monterey Drive to better accommodate all modes of travel - including vehicles,
bicycles and pedestrians - as part of Connect the Park. He added that this study looks at how to
keep traffic functioning well into the future.
Mr. Sullivan pointed out that at the intersection of Monterey Drive and Beltline Blvd. there are 5-
6 lanes of traffic to cross, adding that it is challenging for pedestrians and bicyclists. He noted that
the traffic consultant was asked to work on a plan for this intersection. The consultant’s plan is a
roundabout, helping to reduce lanes and traffic speed on Beltline and making it safer for
pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the intersection. Mr. Sullivan added that at the Rec Center,
traffic lanes would be reduced from 4 to 2 lanes, with added road rehabilitation. He also explained
the right in and right out/left in and no left out concept at the Park Commons intersection and how
the left turn out movement is problematic during peak times. Mr. Sullivan added in removing the
left turn out at Park Commons, drivers would need to turn right out, go to Excelsior Blvd. and do
a U-turn to drive north on Monterey.
Councilmember Rog asked if this maneuver then counts for 2 trips, with the right out and the U-
turn. Traffic consultant Mr. Pacyna stated that it is only considered a change in travel pattern. Mr.
Sullivan stated that it does not cause problems for traffic elsewhere and would not be considered
2 trips.
Mr. Sullivan stated that this project is slated for 2019 and needs more public engagement and work
with the Parks Department on the Rec Center entrance, before work begins.
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of March 19, 2018
Mr. Pacyna, Traffic Engineer from SRF Consulting, noted more details about the traffic study and
study goals, including access; impacts of the proposed Bridgewater development; and
improvements for safe and efficient operation in the future. He noted that the study included modal
(bike, walk, transit) and multi-use reductions. He pointed out that the Bridgewater development
business will provide a change in traffic as most traffic will be in the morning and at the end of the
work day. In the past, the traffic studies with the current retail building included all-day traffic,
both to and from the retail building.
Councilmember Brausen stated in the past, there had been consideration for signalizing the Park
Commons Drive/Monterey intersection. However, he noted that it did not make sense and would
have worsened conditions.
Mr. Sullivan added that the city has talked about enhancing safety at this location and has a lot of
video of conflicting events happening with cars, pedestrians, and kids on bikes in that corridor.
Councilmember Miller had concerns about the wait time at the signal at Monterey and Excelsior.
Mr. Pacyna summarized that once the Bridgewater development is in place, the signal time at
Monterey and Excelsior should be re-optimized to make sure the intersection is operating at the
optimal level.
Councilmember Harris asked when the multimodal project on Monterey would begin. Mr. Sullivan
stated that before it can start, there will need to be a public process, as well as coordination with
the Bridgewater project and the Rec Center. He stated that it will most likely start in 2019 and be
completed in 2020. Councilmember Harris stated that was plenty of time for the public to be part
of the process. She asked that the roundabout near the Rec Center include a second stage of bike
lanes, so bicyclists would not have to stop in the roundabout.
Councilmember Brausen noted that the Park Commons and Monterey intersection is problematic,
and the design proposals will enhance safety. He stated that he is supportive of what is being
proposed.
Councilmember Miller stated he is very supportive of the whole traffic infrastructure at this
location; however, he noted that with the Bridgewater project, he is concerned the
Monterey/Excelsior intersection will be a mess and will get worse, no matter what is built there.
He stated that when the Bridgewater developer was at an earlier study session, he noted there
would be less trips because the development is not going to be mixed use. Mr. Pacyna stated that
with recent traffic counts and the fact that the retail building there is no longer in service, there
might be some changes, but it will be very similar.
Councilmember Brausen added that the nature of the trips will be different because the
Bridgewater development is a different type of business - commercial versus retail. Most of the
people going in will remain at the bank during the day, rather than traveling in and out all day.
Councilmember Miller stated that he feels like the council is approving more access points here,
and he does not see any regard for duration times as drivers are leaving the development. He noted
that this is coming at the expense of the neighborhood, and traffic delays should be expected. He
wondered if all 4 access points need to be included or if one could be removed, adding that there
are typically not 4 access points in one development.
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of March 19, 2018
Councilmember Rog noted that she sees a lot of rezoning coming up for the city and asked how
this will all fit into the future zoning until 2040.
Mr. Sullivan stated that everything has been reviewed with future modeling and projections, and
the entire city is being studied for Comprehensive Plan purposes.
Mr. Pacyna added that the traffic study also looks at historical trends and changes and also at future
land use concepts. He added that SRF works with Hennepin County on land use for St. Louis Park
and the whole region and uses those projections in developing future plans.
Councilmember Rog commented that she was surprised to see how the city is looking at 10-story
buildings for the future, adding that seems too dense. Mr. Pacyna noted, however, that density does
not always mean more cars. He added that there may also be more people walking versus driving
cars. Ms. Monson also added that the largest percentage of residents with no cars is in the Excelsior
and Grand area of the city, which is a denser part of the city.
Councilmember Rog asked if the council could get more details of trips in that area, including how
many trips there are today and how many are projected in the future. She noted that she took a trip
to Access D and asked how that will work since the entrance is so narrow. Ms. Monson stated that
as part of the Bridgewater proposal, they will be upgrading that access/entrance and will widen the
road. Councilmember Rog asked why the Bridgewater project is asking for TIF when there is no
longer housing involved in the project. What is the public benefit?
Mr. Hunt stated that Bridgewater has submitted a TIF request which will be presented with more
details to the council in April. He pointed out that there are extraordinary costs involved in this
project because of grades of the land; demolition of the current building (since it is built into the
hillside); and the very expensive planned parking structure.
Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin stated that he appreciated the traffic study and the long view from the Rec
Center to Excelsior and Monterey. He added that he liked the idea of the roundabout and would
like to note that every time a roundabout is proposed for the city, he would like staff to explain
how it fits with the city’s Climate Action Plan.
The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m.

requires a CUP for imports/exports over 400 cubic yards of soil. Mr. Ayers-Johnson noted
that 22 trees, for a total of 300 caliper inches, will be removed and replaced at a 1 to 1
caliper inch ratio. He added that 3 people attended the neighborhood meeting. Their
questions regarding the landscape plan and lighting plan were satisfactorily addressed at
the meeting.
Mr. Ayers-Johnson also noted that the Planning Commission recommends approval.
It was moved by Councilmember Harris, seconded by Councilmember Miller, to adopt
Resolution No. 18-053, granting a CUP to the City of St. Louis Park allowing the import
of 17,000 cubic yards of soil for the infill and re-grading of the Aquila Park site in
association with the construction of two fastpitch softball fields, subject to conditions.
The motion passed 5-0.

Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of March 19, 2018
parcels. The school currently has 25 students and estimates future growth of up to 45
students.
Councilmember Rog stated that this school is in her ward, and she is supportive. She added
that she is pleased they are looking to expand the school. The girls are getting a great
education there. She trusts that the building will look nice; however, she is concerned about
students crossing the street at Minnetonka Boulevard and hopes the council will be mindful
of the safety of students as the new school is built
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 18-054, granting a CUP with Variance for the operation of a girls’ high
school at 4503 and 4509 Minnetonka Blvd., subject to conditions.
The motion passed 5-0.
8c. Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Allow Clear Acrylic as a Class 1 Materials
for Greenhouses.
Ms. Monson presented the staff report. She noted that in 2017 there was increased interest
by community members and developers to provide opportunities for food growing facilities
in St. Louis Park. The city council approved a food producing greenhouse as part of the
PLACE PUD and received interest and a presentation from a local non-profit for increased
access to local, fresh food.
Ms. Monson stated that staff researched the best materials for constructing greenhouses to
grow food in Minnesota and proposes amending the zoning code to allow high impact,
non-yellowing, double-skinned clear acrylic products to be used for greenhouses. Ms.
Monson stated that staff took a field trip to Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park.
They have been using the acrylic product for over 15 years. She stated that the product is
clean, new looking, and provides sterile conditions to produce food. She passed around a
sample of the clear acrylic material to the council members.
Ms. Monson noted that the Planning Commission recommends amending the zoning
ordinance regarding architectural materials for greenhouses.
Councilmember Miller asked if this material is more expensive than others. Ms. Monson
stated that it is more affordable than glass, does not yellow or brittle, and will not have to
be replaced as often as glass and other materials.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Harris, to approve
first reading of ordinance amending Chapter 36 of the City Code relating to architectural
materials for greenhouses, and to set the second reading for April 2, 2018.
The motion passed 5-0.

increases minimum pay for emergency call backs from two hours to three hours and
clarifies language on clothing allowance and tramp pay. She stated that staff recommends

It was moved by Councilmember Miller, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 18-055, approving a labor agreement between the city and the IAFF Local
#993 establishing terms and conditions of employment for two years from 1/1/18 –

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Bids were received on March 20, 2018 for the 2018 Pavement Management
project. The 2018 construction season will be the fourteenth year of implementing the City’s
Pavement Management Program.
This year’s work, Project No. 4018-1000, will be performed in Area 6 of the City’s eight pavement
management areas. It includes work in the Elmwood, Brooklawns, and Brookside Neighborhoods.
Selection was based on street condition surveys and field evaluations to determine current
conditions of the pavement, curb and gutter, and the city’s underground utilities. City staff worked
together to select streets and to recommend appropriate rehabilitation techniques for inclusion in
this year’s Pavement Management Project.
An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun-Sailor on February 22, 2018.
In addition, plans and specifications are noticed on the City Website and are made available
electronically via the internet by our vendor QuestCDN.com. Email notification was provided to
five minority associations and final printed plans were available for viewing at Construct Connect,
Dodge Data, Minnesota Builders Exchange, The Blue Book Building & Construction Network,
and at City Hall.
Sixty five (65) contractors/vendors purchased plan sets including eight (8) Disadvantage Business
Enterprises (DBE) and two (2) Vet Owned.
Funding Details
Staff has analyzed the bids and determined that Northdale Construction Company, Inc. is a
qualified contractor that can complete this work during the 2018 construction season. The low bid
does not exceed the various funds available in the City’s 2018 CIP. Based on the low bid received,
cost and funding details are as follows:
2018 CIP Low Bid

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Allow Clear Acrylic as Class I Material for
Greenhouses
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance
amending Chapter 36 of the City Code relating to architectural materials for greenhouses, and
authorize publication of summary ordinance.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the city council wish to amend the City Code to allow clear
acrylic glass for greenhouses?
SUMMARY: In 2017 there was an increased interest by community members and developers to
provide opportunities for food growing facilities in St. Louis Park. The city council approved a
food-producing greenhouse as part of the PLACE Planned Unit Development, and received interest
and a presentation from a local non-profit advocating for increased access to local, fresh food.
Staff researched the best materials for constructing greenhouses to grow food in Minnesota, and
propose amending the zoning code to allow high impact, non-yellowing, double-skinned acrylic
products to be used for accessory greenhouses.
The University of Minnesota Extension Center for Sustainable Building Research published the
Cold-Climate Greenhouse Resource which is a guidebook for designing greenhouses in
Minnesota. The guidebook suggests using a polycarbonate product; however, over time
polycarbonate yellows. Staff has contacted other commercial greenhouse owners in the area, and
has found the preferred product is clear acrylic. Clear acrylic provides better food growing
environments than polycarbonate and glass. Clear acrylic does not yellow, is strong and unlikely
to break, has higher thermal efficiencies, and is more hygienic for growing food activities.
Staff visited the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park which installed clear acrylic for
their production greenhouse over 15 years ago. The material was found to be clean, clear, and well
maintained compared to the traditional glass greenhouses on site.
The planning commission held a public hearing on February 21, 2018 and voted 6 to 0 to
recommend amending the zoning ordinance regarding architectural materials for greenhouses. City
Council voted 5 to 0 to approve the First Reading of the ordinance on March 19, 2018.
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.

Jennifer Monson, Planner, presented the staff report. Staff recommends allowing high
impact, double-skinned acrylic products that are a minimum of eight millimeters thick to
be used for greenhouses. She discussed staff research into the best materials for
constructing greenhouses to grow food in Minnesota. Acrylic glass was found to provide
better growing environments than polycarbonate, it does not yellow, has high thermal
efficiencies, is unlikely to break, and is more hygienic for growing food in a sterile
environment. Ms. Monson said staff visited the Marjorie McNelly Conservatory at Como
Park which has used acrylic glass very successfully in their production greenhouse for the
last 15 years. She noted that the Planning Commission reviewed staff research at a study
session on December 6, 2017. Ms. Monson showed a sample of the material to
commissioners.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked if the acrylic material is produced in Minnesota.
Ms. Monson said she would look into that question.
Commissioner Person asked about the R value of the material compared to glass.
Ms. Monson responded that it is less, perhaps around 86%. It is higher than the
polycarbonate. She said she would confirm that information.
Chair Robertson opened the public hearing. As no one was present wishing to speak he
closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Person asked how the cost compares to glass.
Ms. Monson responded that it is less than glass and higher than polycarbonate.
Commissioner Peilen asked the Chair for his thoughts on the material.
Chair Robertson said the material makes perfect sense to him.
Commissioner Peilen made a motion recommending approval of the amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Architectural Materials for Greenhouses. Commissioner
Johnston-Madison seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The Aquila Avenue Mill and Overlay Project is located between Highway 7
and W. 36th Street. This project includes pavement rehabilitation, an upgrade to the existing signal
at W. 37th Street, ADA improvements, watermain installation, storm sewer repairs, and minor
sanitary sewer repairs.
Pavement Rehabilitation
Aquila Avenue is a Municipal State Aid (MSA) route, with a daily traffic volume of 6400. The
cost for the pavement work will be paid for using MSA funds.
Staff from Operations and Engineering worked collaboratively to review the pavement condition
of Aquila Avenue and to apply the appropriate rehabilitation technique. Staff is proposing a mill
and overlay to rehabilitate the pavement on Aquila Avenue. This consists of milling off the top 2
inches of pavement and installing a new 2 inch pavement section. This technique is used when full
depth pavement replacement is not necessary since the base still has structural integrity.
Utility improvements
The city utilities on Aquila Avenue were reviewed prior to starting the design of this project. Staff
is proposing to construct a new watermain on Aquila Avenue between W. 37th Street to W. 36th
Street. This addition will provide redundancy in our water system to ensure continuous service
for the Shoppes at Knollwood and for the businesses located on W. 37th Street between Boone
and Aquila Avenue.
The new watermain will be installed using a technique called directional drilling. Holes will be
excavated at both ends of the new watermain segment and a boring machine will pull the pipe
between the two holes.
In addition, minor repairs will be completed on the existing watermain, storm sewer, and sanitary
sewer on Aquila Avenue.
Private utilities have been notified about this project. We are not aware of any work by other
utility companies for Aquila Avenue.
Aquila Avenue and W. 37th Street Traffic Signal
The traffic signal located at the intersection of Aquila Avenue and W.37th Street will be upgraded
and timing will be optimized.
To determine what work needed to be done to the signal, the city hired Bolton and Menk, Inc. to
review the existing signal condition and complete a traffic study to determine if the signal is
operating efficiently. To improve intersection operation, a change to the layout of the intersection
is recommended. Today, northbound Aquila Avenue at the W.37th Street intersection has one left
turn lane, two through lanes, and a right turn lane. Due to demand, one of the through lanes will
be converted to a left turn lane. Flashing yellow arrows (FYA) will be added to improve the flow
of traffic making left hand turns. New curb ramps with Audible Pedestrian Signals (APS) will
also be installed.

TITLE: Accept Donation for Fire Chief Steve Koering to Attend the Vision 20/20 Conference
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution approving acceptance of a donation
from the Institution of Fire Engineers - USA Branch for related expenses for Fire Chief Steve
Koering, to attend the 2018 Model Performance in Community Risk Reduction Symposium in an
amount not to exceed $1,500.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to accept the gift with restrictions on

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.
With funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters, Fire
Prevention and Safety Grant program, the Institution of Fire Engineers - USA Branch has
established a steering committee comprised of noted fire service and related agency leaders to
guide a national strategic planning process for the fire loss prevention that results in a national plan
that will coordinate activities and fire prevention efforts.
This project involves a large number of participants representing all areas of fire prevention as
well as other advocates and stakeholders to the plan and its recommended outcomes. Fire Chief
Steve Koering has been selected as one of two representatives from the State of Minnesota. The
St. Louis Park Fire Department is recognized as a leader in community risk reduction efforts on
many fronts, including our work in mobile integrated healthcare which is a new category this year
at this symposium.
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 needs to be a resolution adopted by the City
Council determining that attendance at this event serves a public purpose and accept the gift. The
resolution needs to be adopted before attendance at the conference.

A. Variance: Variance to the side yard for an attached garage
Location: 4317 Browndale Ave. S.
Applicant: Andre LaTondresse, on behalf of Kevin Johnston
Case No.: 18-03-VAR
Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. The applicant
is requesting a 5 foot, 11 inch variance to the required 11 foot 8 inch side yard for
construction of an attached garage. If approved the house and attached garage would be a
total of 79.8 feet deep and located between 4.9 feet and 5.8 feet from the side lot line. He
said the home has an existing tuck-under garage located on the back side of the home.
Mr. Morrison presented the survey of the property and discussed setbacks. He presented
the existing and proposed floor plan. He presented existing and proposed elevations.
Mr. Morrison discussed the applicable zoning regulations.
Mr. Morrison discussed the variance criteria. He stated that the variance is not required to
preserve the applicant’s reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. A two-car
detached garage is a legal alternative and an attached garage currently exists. The
kitchen, mudroom and bathroom addition can be built without a variance. He noted the
variance is not required to provide off-street parking as existing conditions exceed two
off-street parking spaces. He stated staff does not find that the property owner has a
plight requiring a variance as a two-car detached garage can be legally constructed in the
back yard. There are no unique circumstances preventing the owner from having a
detached two-car garage. He noted attached garages are not viewed as a substantial
property right. A two-car garage is a legal and common option. Attached garages are not
viewed as a necessity, but as a convenience. And, a practical difficulty does not exist.
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 4i) Page 2
Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of February 22, 2018
Mr. Morrison stated that staff recommends denial of the required 5 foot, 11 inch variance
to the required side yard as criterion are not met.
Chair Gainsley opened the public hearing.
Andre LaTondresse, applicant, discussed items which form a hardship for the applicant
and are unique to the city zoning ordinance. He said the minimum property width for the
R-1 zoning district is 75 feet. This property is 50 feet wide and one is forced to build the
house perpendicular to the street. The sideyard setback width then becomes a hardship.
He said the ordinance doesn’t anticipate that hardship because the ordinance is referring
to larger lots.
Mr. LaTondresse said the homeowners wish to vacate the current attached garage
because it is not usable as the ceiling height is 7 feet and the garage door height is 6’4”.
They are attempting to achieve the attached garage the house already has by setting it
back a foot from the existing line of the house to acknowledge the impact on the
neighbor. Basically asking the approval for a basement addition.
Mr. LaTondresse discussed the code’s requirement that a detached garage needs to have
the same character as the house. In this case it would be a 12:12 gable roof, making it
virtually a 2-story structure. It would go straight out to the end of back yard. Adjacent
properties would then lose their views of Browndale Park. He presented photographs.
He said denying the variance would impact the park, the neighbors, and the homeowner’s
back yard. Granting the variance would result in a low impact project such as they are
proposing. He read a statement from the homeowners.
Commissioner Kaufman asked if there has been any feedback from neighbors.
Kevin Johnston, applicant, said they have received quite a bit of support and no opposition.
Mr. Morrison stated with regard to detached garages the code does address aesthetics in
two stages. He explained if a garage is less than 15 feet to the peak residents can do what
they want with roof pitch and siding, including a flat roof, even if it is out of character
with the house. He said if the house is from 15 feet to a maximum of 24 feet to the peak
then the roof pitch and siding is required to match the house. There are also some
window requirements.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Kaufman said Mr. Morrison and staff do a tremendous job of enforcing
zoning laws which are written with a particular purpose. He said he takes those into mind
with the Comprehensive Plan. The problem he runs into is the issue of what the zoning
laws are intended to do with one size fits all and what makes common sense. He said it
was helpful to hear about 75’ minimum width. In looking at the low impact of the
variance he stated he struggles because he’s not sure it meets the requirements of the
variance at the end of the day. But he said he finds that the variance does have a certain
common sense that is much more logical to him than requiring the detached garage, even
if the peak may be different from the house.
Mr. Morrison commented that most lots are 50 ft. wide, or don’t meet the 75’ width, in
St. Louis Park.

Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of February 22, 2018
Commissioner Howard said he agreed with Commissioner Kaufman’s remarks.
Chair Gainsley said he didn’t understand all the architectural aspects of the application.
He said he doesn’t see a reason for a variance. The homeowners do have reasonable use.
There is nothing that appears to be counter to that or that is a down side of that. He said
he agrees with staff that a variance isn’t a good solution for this.
Commissioner Kaufman made a motion to accept the variance for the project as
presented to the BOZA. The motion to accept the variance passed on a vote of 2-1
(Gainsley opposed).
Mr. Morrison stated that he will bring the Resolution approving the variance to the Board
at the next meeting for approval.
The Chair directed staff to prepare the resolution approving the variance.
Mr. Morrison read the standard 10 day appeal process.
Mr. Morrison said since a resolution will be brought to the board next month we will
need a quorum to vote on it. The Board at that time may vote for or against the resolution.
Commissioner Kaufman responded that a decision was made and there is a quorum. He
said his understanding was that a motion was passed that includes a resolution and that it
is just a matter of signing the resolution once it is prepared.
Mr. Morrison said when the resolution comes forward for approval the board votes on it
at that time. He said he will put together findings and present those to the board for
approval of the variance. He said he will verify that process.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Annual Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Public Meeting
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. This agenda item serves to meet the city’s
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit and Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Program (SWPPP) requirements. After a staff presentation the Mayor is asked to open up the
meeting for public comment.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council have questions or concerns regarding the
City’s storm water pollution prevention program?
SUMMARY: The City of St. Louis Park is permitted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) for the discharge of stormwater from the city’s storm sewer system into waters of the
state, such as Minnehaha Creek. This permit is required based on an amendment to the
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Water Act (CWA) and the creation of the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). St Louis Park, along with over 200
other Minnesota cities, are permitted as MS4 communities.
As a part of the MS4 permit, the City is required to hold a public meeting in which the public has
an opportunity to review and comment on the City’s SWPPP. These comments are then recorded
and considered for incorporation in the City’s SWPPP. This meeting is held at a regular City
Council meeting to increase awareness of this important initiative. In addition, to increase exposure
and public participation on this topic, staff held an information meeting on March 15. Five people
attended that meeting.
At the meeting staff will: provide a summary of stormwater activities conducted in 2017, outline
2018 initiatives, and solicit comments from the public on the operation and management of the
City’s stormwater pollution prevention program.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable at this time.
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.

Title: Annual Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Public Meeting
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit establishes conditions for discharging stormwater and
other related discharges into waters of the state. Operators of regulated small MS4s are required
to design their Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) to:
• Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the “maximum extent practicable” (MEP); and
• Protect water quality; and
• Satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The EPAs Phase II Rule defines a small MS4 stormwater management program as a program
comprising six elements that, when implemented in concert, are expected to result in significant
reductions of pollutants discharged into receiving waterbodies. The SWPPP is broken out into six
program elements, termed Minimum Control Measures (MCMs). These are:
MCM 1 Public Education and Outreach
Distributing educational materials and performing outreach to inform citizens about the
impacts polluted stormwater runoff discharges can have on water quality.
MCM 2 Public Participation/Involvement
Providing opportunities for citizens to participate in program development and
implementation, including effectively publicizing public hearings and/or encouraging
citizen representatives on a stormwater management panel.
MCM3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Developing and implementing a plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the
storm sewer system (includes developing a system map and informing the community
about hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste).
MCM 4 Construction Site Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing an erosion and sediment control program for
construction activities that disturb 1 or more acres of land (controls could include silt
fences and temporary stormwater detention ponds).
MCM 5 Post-Construction Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing a program to address discharges of post-
construction stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment areas.
Applicable controls could include preventative actions such as protecting sensitive areas
(e.g., wetlands) or the use of structural BMPs.
MCM 6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
Developing and implementing a program with the goal of preventing or reducing
pollutant runoff from municipal operations. The program must include municipal staff
training on pollution prevention measures and techniques (e.g., regular street sweeping,
reduction in the use of pesticides or street salt, or frequent catch-basin cleaning).
Implementation of the MEP standard will typically require the development and implementation
of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and the achievement of measurable goals to satisfy each of
the six MCMs.
City Council Meeting of April 2, 2018 (Item No. 6a) Page 3
Title: Annual Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Public Meeting
BMPs are practices, techniques, and measures that prevent or reduce water pollution from nonpoint
sources by using the most effective and practicable means of achieving water quality goals. BMPs
include, but are not limited to, official controls, structural and nonstructural controls, and operation
and maintenance procedures.
Each year, permittees are required to conduct a review of their SWPPP to determine program
compliance, the appropriateness of BMPs, and progress towards achieving the goals identified in
their SWPPP. To document this review we submit an annual report to the MPCA by June 30th of
each calendar year. The city’s SWPPP and annual report are located on the city’s stormwater
management webpage. Here’s the link-
https://www.stlouispark.org/government/departments-divisions/engineering/storm-water
The information requested by the MPCA in the report is meant to provide the basis for an
assessment of the appropriateness of the BMPs and the progress that has been made toward
achieving the identified goals for each of the MCMs. This assessment is based on results collected
and analyzed from inspection findings and public input received during the reporting period.
Prior to submitting the annual report, the city is required to provide the public at least one
opportunity to offer input on the adequacy of the SWPPP. This meeting is held at a City Council
meeting to increase awareness of these important initiatives. To increase exposure and
participation, staff also held an information meeting on March 15. Five people attended this
meeting.
Staff is always continuing to review and refine our process to reduce pollutants from entering our
surface waters and record keeping procedures. One of the initiatives from 2017 was to review and
update our existing SWPPP. This is anticipated to be completed in 2018 in conjunction with the
Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan update (SWMP). What follows is a summary of
the timeline for public process:
• January 9, 2018- Open house, hosted by Steve Woods, executive director of the Fresh
Water Society
• January to February 2018- online stormwater survey- over 200 responses received

In 1990, EPA promulgated rules establishing Phase I of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater program. The Phase I program for MS4s requires
operators of “medium” and “large” MS4s, that is, those that generally serve populations of
100,000 or greater, to implement a stormwater management program as a means to control
polluted discharges from these MS4s. The Stormwater Phase II Rule extends coverage of the
NPDES stormwater program to certain “small” MS4s but takes a slightly different approach to
how the stormwater management program is developed and implemented.
Polluted storm water runoff is often transported to municipal separate storm sewer systems
(MS4s) and ultimately discharged into local rivers and streams without treatment. EPA’s
Stormwater Phase II Rule establishes an MS4 stormwater management program that is intended
to improve the Nation’s waterways by reducing the quantity of pollutants that stormwater picks
up and carries into storm sewer systems during storm events. Common pollutants include oil and
grease from roadways, pesticides from lawns, sediment from construction sites, and carelessly
discarded trash, such as cigarette butts, paper wrappers, and plastic bottles. When deposited into
nearby waterways through MS4 discharges, these pollutants can impair the waterways, thereby
discouraging recreational use of the resource, contaminating drinking water supplies, and
interfering with the habitat for fish, other aquatic organisms, and wildlife.
What Is a Phase II Small MS4?
Asmall MS4 is any MS4 not already covered by the Phase I program as a medium or large
MS4. The Phase II Rule automatically covers on a nationwide basis all small MS4s located
in “urbanized areas” (UAs) as defined by the Bureau of the Census (unless waived by the
NPDES permitting authority), and on a case-by-case basis those small MS4s located outside of
UAs that the NPDES permitting authority designates. For more information on Phase II small
MS4 coverage, see Fact Sheets 2.1 and 2.2.
What Are the Phase II Small MS4 Program Requirements?
Operators of regulated small MS4s are required to design their programs to:
‘ Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the “maximum extent practicable” (MEP);
‘ Protect water quality; and
‘ Satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act.
Implementation of the MEP standard will typically require the development and implementation
of BMPs and the achievement of measurable goals to satisfy each of the six minimum control
measures.
The Phase II Rule defines a small MS4 stormwater management program as a program
comprising six elements that, when implemented in concert, are expected to result in significant
reductions of pollutants discharged into receiving waterbodies.

The six MS4 program elements, termed “minimum control
measures,” are outlined below. For more information on each
of these required control measures, see Fact Sheets 2.3 – 2.8.
Ø Public Education and Outreach
Distributing educational materials and performing
outreach to inform citizens about the impacts polluted
stormwater runoff discharges can have on water quality.
Ù Public Participation/Involvement
Providing opportunities for citizens to participate in
program development and implementation, including
effectively publicizing public hearings and/or
encouraging citizen representatives on a stormwater
management panel.
Ú Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Developing and implementing a plan to detect and
eliminate illicit discharges to the storm sewer system
(includes developing a system map and informing the
community about hazards associated with illegal
discharges and improper disposal of waste).
Û Construction Site Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing an erosion and
sediment control program for construction activities that
disturb 1 or more acres of land (controls could include
silt fences and temporary stormwater detention ponds).
Ü Post-Construction Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing a program to
address discharges of post-construction stormwater
runoff from new development and redevelopment areas.
Applicable controls could include preventative actions
such as protecting sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands) or the
use of structural BMPs such as grassed swales or porous
pavement.
Ý Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
Developing and implementing a program with the goal of
preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal
operations. The program must include municipal staff
training on pollution prevention measures and techniques
(e.g., regular street sweeping, reduction in the use of
pesticides or street salt, or frequent catch-basin cleaning).
What Information Must the NPDES Permit
Application Include?
The Phase II program for MS4s is designed to accommodate
a general permit approach using a Notice of Intent (NOI)
as the permit application. The operator of a regulated small
MS4 must include in its permit application, or NOI, its chosen
BMPs and measurable goals for each minimum control
measure. To help permittees identify the most appropriate
BMPs for their programs, EPA issued a Menu of BMPs to
serve as guidance. NPDES permitting authorities can modify
the EPA menu or develop their own list. For more information
on application requirements, see Fact Sheet 2.9.
What Are the Implementation Options?
The rule identifies a number of implementation options for
regulated small MS4 operators. These include sharing
responsibility for program development with a nearby
regulated small MS4, taking advantage of existing local or
State programs, or participating in the implementation of an
existing Phase I MS4's stormwater program as a co-permittee.
These options are intended to promote a regional approach to
stormwater management coordinated on a watershed basis.
What Kind of Program Evaluation/Assessment Is
Required?
Permittees need to evaluate the effectiveness of their chosen
BMPs to determine whether the BMPs are reducing the
discharge of pollutants from their systems to the “maximum
extent practicable” and to determine if the BMP mix is
satisfying the water quality requirements of the Clean Water
Act. Permittees also are required to assess their progress
in achieving their program’s measurable goals. While
monitoring is not required under the rule, the NPDES
permitting authority has the discretion to require monitoring
if deemed necessary. If there is an indication of a need for
improved controls, permittees can revise their mix of BMPs
to create a more effective program. For more information
on program evaluation/assessment, see Fact Sheet 2.9.
