Meeting: Economic development authority
Meeting date: March 6, 2023
Consent agenda item: 3b
Executive summary
Title: Amend Economic Development Authority bylaws
Recommended action: Motion to approve amending the bylaws of the St. Louis Park Economic
Development Authority relating to order of business.
Policy consideration: Does the Economic Development Authority want to amend the bylaws so
the order of business is consistent with the order of business at city council meetings?
Summary: The bylaws of the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority were originally
adopted in 1998 and have been amended in 2006 and 2019. The bylaws provide guidelines for
the structure, duties, and conduct of business by the Economic Development Authority.
Amendments to the bylaws require approval of at least four members of the EDA at a regular or
a special meeting.
In Dec. 2022 the city council approved amendments to their rules of procedure, including minor
changes to the order of business at meetings. The changes reflected the council’s desire to
provide ways for all stakeholders to better understand how the body conducts business. At that
time staff also heard a desire to have the order of business at EDA meetings more closely match
that of council meetings. The proposed amendments to section 4.5 of the EDA bylaws reflect
that direction.
If approved, the proposed changes would take effect for the March 20, 2023, EDA meeting.
Financial or budget considerations: N/A
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build
social capital through community engagement.

Guests: None.
1. Inclusionary housing policy proposed amendments.
Ms. Olson presented the staff report.
Councilmember Rog asked if the developer would need to replace one for one on a building
that is naturally occurring affordable housing at 60%. Ms. Barton stated yes, or they could go
lower, but not higher.
Ms. Olson noted the policy recommendations and asked the council to weigh in with their
thoughts.
• Modify the for-sale property requirements.
• Increase the affordability period to 26 years.
• Add flexibility around the development mix for senior housing developments.
• Provide additional clarity in the policy.
Councilmember Kraft asked for an explanation on affordability pricing. Ms. Olson explained on
a $350,000 affordability priced home, if pricing is below $750,000, the difference is considered
minus the $350,000 and that is then the price used, which is the difference between the
affordable price and the price the home is being sold for. She noted if the average for-sale price
exceeded the affordability, it would be capped. She added this is for a new 10 or more-unit
development.
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 2
Title: Study session minutes of Nov. 14, 2022
Ms. Olson stated the reason payment in lieu is used, is the unit would have to be sold at an
affordable rate to a low-income buyer, and the money then goes into the affordable housing
trust fund for other uses.
Councilmember Kraft asked how often this scenario happens. Ms. Olson stated it has not
happened yet, noting clarity about co-ops falling under the for-sale properties has been an
issue. Ms. Barton stated the insurance requirements are for 10 years in a condo development,
and usually developers do not want to do this. She added this was a deterrent to developers.
Ms. Barton stated staff is hopeful the policy will help over time on condo development.
Mayor Spano asked for a hypothetical situation on the for-sale policy. He also asked for the
criteria on item #3 policy recommendation.
Ms. Olson stated for the senior policy change, staff is open to two-bedroom, but it would not be
required. Mayor Spano stated he would like criteria on this issue.
Ms. Olson stated staff would want to have this conversation with developers at the beginning
related to affordability and market rate, and which units would be affordable. Ms. Barton
added affordable for seniors is mostly one bedroom and den.
Councilmember Rog asked if there should be more conversation around the Beltline
development. Ms. Barton stated all the affordable units at Beltline are in one building. She
added the other development has affordability spread across the entire development.
Councilmember Kraft asked if this would only be worked on at the front end or later. Ms.
Barton stated this policy would give more flexibility for discussion at the beginning or later.
Councilmember Kraft asked if TIF would be affected and the affordability level. Ms. Barton
stated there is a look back provision, and if there is overperformance, then the city can recoup
dollars.
Mayor Spano stated he is supportive, but if staff will have authority to be flexible, he would like
some clarity around the policy before agreeing to it, noting this is a substantial change.
Councilmember Dumalag asked if there is any reason there have been issues with senior
affordable housing.
Ms. Randall stated the asset piece in the calculation with the two bedroom and with two
people.
Councilmember Rog asked if there is value in looking at the affordability levels the city is setting
and if this is a barrier.
Councilmember Rog added when looking at multi-generational housing, those living together
may exceed the income levels as well. Ms. Olson stated in the policy it says that 50% must
accept vouchers.
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 3
Title: Study session minutes of Nov. 14, 2022
Ms. Barton added the study will also give insight as to the senior population, and affordability
levels.
Councilmember Kraft stated he is supportive but would like to see more guidelines from a
fairness perspective, but also likes the flexibility and then would like staff to come back with
policy changes. Mayor Spano added this would give him more comfort.
Councilmember Dumalag agreed the flexibility is appreciated and she is supportive of the for-
sale policy.
Councilmember Mohamed asked how staff can investigate AMI without increasing numbers.
Ms. Olson stated if a development is proposed staff looks at goals and what are the community
needs, and then direct from that way. She added the affordable housing trust fund will also
assist.
Councilmember Mohamed stated some of the two-bedrooms are in the $200,000 range. She
asked how the city and staff can encourage 30% AMI, adding she would love to see more of
this. Ms. Olson stated that is a goal staff is working toward.
Councilmember Mohamed asked about adding more townhomes in the city that are affordable.
Ms. Barton stated townhomes are more challenging as the city is all developed and it’s more
difficult for developers to find land for 10 townhomes versus 60-unit apartment buildings. She
added the Sherman development has walk out first floor units, which are similar to townhomes.
Councilmember Mohamed stated there are some families that are missing, including larger
families with low income. She stated to find an apartment at 30% AMI is rare, and she would
like to see more of that.
Councilmember Kraft commended staff on the affordable housing as well as Councilmember
Rog on pushing for 3-bedroom units. He stated the policy changes are making a difference. He
stated the goals have been smashed for 50% AMI, and we are on track for 30% AMI for 2030.
He asked why the inclusionary housing policy is then not changed to 30% AMI at this point.
Ms. Barton stated it’s possible to change this, but it would be difficult for developers as
financially it won’t work for them.
Councilmember Dumalag agreed, noting this is not a one-for-one issue.
Ms. Barton added the policy as is allows more flexibility, while staff is pushing for more 30%
AMI, and there will be more coming up. She added changing the policy to focus only on 30%
AMI would tie staff’s hands and would be difficult for developers.
Councilmember Mohamed asked what the criteria was for coming up with these numbers of
AMI. Ms. Olson stated if council wants significant changes, a feasibility study should be
conducted so all the economic impacts can be determined.
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 4
Title: Study session minutes of Nov. 14, 2022
Councilmember Kraft stated he would be interested in a feasibility study to address the 30%
AMI and target the largest gap.
Mayor Spano stated this should be tabled for now, and this can come back for more discussion.
He noted this needs to be a regional initiative.
Councilmember Rog added disability housing is also a concern and she has had folks reach out
to her on this. She asked if this can be added to inclusionary housing for folks that don’t fall into
the traditional ADA requirements and need adaptive and affordable places to live.
Mr. Skallet explained the ADA requirements and adaptability and accessibility. He noted ADA
units are equally dispersed on each floor, adding he can get more details to the council if
needed.
Ms. Barton added there is no one size fits all with accessibility, and the ADA does a good job of
covering the broadest access, but there are different needs for individuals, so it’s difficult to
build multiple accessible units.
2. 2023 final proposed budget and tax levies
Ms. Schmitt presented the report. She noted the policy considerations for tonight:
• The 2023 final property tax levy at $41,060,251 - which is a 7.02% increase over the
2022 final property tax levy.
• A maximum HRA levy allowed by state statue at $1,582,696.
• An EDA levy at $500,000.
Councilmember Kraft stated he has no issue with the general levy adding staff has done a good
job. He noted debt service is going up a lot, many are feeling the pain of inflation, and the
education levies will be increasing 28%, so this puts more responsibility on the city. He asked
about the EDA levy and what the projected balances are for this and next year. He added the
development fund has been going down, some investments have been made, and he asked for
the projections.
Ms. Schmitt stated it will depend on whether the land sale goes through and if it does, it’s
projected to be $13 million in the fund balance. She added if the land sale does not go through,
the fund balance for the EDA levy will remain at $7 million.
Councilmember Kraft asked if there are any updates on the land sale. Ms. Schmitt stated she is
not aware of any updates. She added for next year, there are some sales projected and if the
commercial property is completed, then the fund balance would go down.
Councilmember Kraft asked about assumptions. Ms. Schmitt stated the variables are the
property sales and the commercial building.
Ms. Keller clarified the fund balance could be between $4.5 million and $13 million depending
on the assumptions Ms. Schmitt noted.
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 5
Title: Study session minutes of Nov. 14, 2022
Councilmember Kraft stated the assets should turn into funds at some point. He asked how
long the $4.5 million would last if it were only used for salaries. Ms. Schmitt stated 5-6 years.
Councilmember Kraft stated it is not responsible of the city to move forward with the EDA levy,
adding the city does not need that money this year, especially when we have assets that will
turn into dollars.
Mayor Spano stated the city has done this and should continue to utilize this fund to allow for
purchasing properties if they are available. He stated he disagrees with Councilmember Kraft’s
comments, and feels the EDA levy should continue, noting it’s not only used to pay salaries.
Ms. Barton noted beyond salaries there are other programs funded through the development
fund, as well as various studies.
Councilmember Rog stated she agrees with Councilmember Kraft on his comments and would
like to take a pause this year considering inflation, adding this can be added back next year if
needed. She noted this fund is not in perpetuity, which was a good agreement, and each year
council should review and consider the impacts. She stated there will be plenty of funds
available, and this should be paused for 2023.
Mayor Spano stated he supports the EDA levy, because there are more guardrails on what it
can be spent on, freeing up more funding from the general levy.
Councilmember Kraft noted his concerns about the transparency of the EDA levy has been
addressed by staff, however he does not agree with adding $500,000 to the development fund
this year, given everything else that is going on.
Councilmember Dumalag asked if the $500,000 were taken away, what would be the
cumulative effect. Ms. Schmitt stated it would go down to 5.6%.
Councilmember Mohamed asked what the EDA levy might look like next year. Ms. Schmitt
stated if the economy were in a better position, she would recommend an increase versus
leaving it flat.
Councilmember Mohamed asked if it puts the city in a risky position if there is no EDA levy this
year. Ms. Schmitt stated she agrees with refining the dollar amount and coming back to council,
but she does not think the EDA levy should be removed.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she agrees with staff recommendations and the risks of next
year are unknown, adding she does not think the council should ask staff to shave off the
amounts, adding she would prefer having options going into the next few years.
Councilmember Rog asked if the land sales go through, would Ms. Schmitt recommend having
the EDA levy the next year. Ms. Schmitt stated yes, to cover core operational expenses. She
added without the levy, there will be no cash to purchase properties.

Title: Study session minutes of Nov. 14, 2022
Councilmember Budd stated she agrees with staff recommendations, adding now is not the
right time to forgo this.
Mayor Spano asked what would happen if there was no development fund. Ms. Barton stated a
different funding source would need to be found, adding the development fund was
established through pooled increment dollars with no restrictions. She stated at one time there
was $35 million in the fund, and it was depleted over the years, with no way to replenish it.
Mayor Spano stated this fund has been a low interest loan over the years and has been an
exceptional tool. He added there is a broader strategic need for this, and he would like to keep
it.
Councilmember Kraft stated this fund should be kept flat, given the economic times.
Councilmember Rog stated she wants this tool and values it, but just not this year. She added
she is not questioning the funds value and doesn’t hear the council talking as much about the
taxpayers and what they have to say. She stated the EDA levy should be kept in perpetuity and
feels strongly this tool is valuable.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she is supportive of staff’s recommendations and is concerned
about the development fund going this low. She explained she likes the flexibility but is
concerned because it has been a tough year. She stated, however, the city needs to be
prepared for unexpected things to come up, like a water main break, and she would hate to pull
back on these investments.
Ms. Schmitt stated staff could remove funds from all the levies, versus only taking funds out of
one levy. She noted if council gives staff the flexibility, they can work up a new plan to bring
back to council for review.
Councilmember Kraft stated he appreciates staff’s efforts and asked if the land sale closes will
that change anything for the other councilmembers. Councilmember Budd stated it would
change it for her.
A majority of the council support staff’s policy considerations.
Councilmember Kraft noted with the HRA levy, he has an issue with TIF seeming like free
money. He stated the city does not really know how much affordable housing is funded by TIF,
and it seems to be going up. He asked if the city is using more TIF for this, shouldn’t there be a
way to give taxpayers a break on the levy.
Ms. Barton explained that TIF and levy dollars are not interchangeable and have different uses.
Councilmember Kraft stated he understands this but added at the high level, how much can the
city continue spending.
Written Reports comments:

Title: Study session minutes of Nov. 14, 2022
Councilmember Dumalag stated she is supportive of the zoning, and noted a resident also
commented they were supportive of the food service and restaurants and walkability to small
business aspects.
Councilmember Rog stated on the public art report related to the Dakota Bridge, the project
remains unfinished, and there needs to be a future conversation around this.
Ms. Heiser stated in next year’s CIP there will be a project to do a sanitary sewer replacement
as well as a bridge to the dog park. She stated the project will use ARPA and storm utility funds.
She noted this is related to material and construction costs, and the bids increased due to
inflation. She stated there is a question on if this project is needed, and it will be reviewed, as
well as doing a public process and feedback.
Communications/meeting check-in (verbal)
Ms. Keller thanked staff for their plowing work on snowy roads today. She also noted the truth
in taxation information was mailed as well as an insert and more information on understanding
city taxes. She added any questions can be answered by staff.

Mr. Shamla noted the utility undergrounding configuration and relocation.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Diane Pecoraro, 2900 Glenhurst Ave., stated she lives close to the city border and there
are many apartments in her area, which have become a wall. She is concerned because
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 3
Title: City council meeting minutes of Nov. 21, 2022
there are new residents driving, heavy traffic, and Minnetonka Boulevard is closed at
that area. She stated this will create a traffic mess. She agreed the area is a mess from
Joppa Avenue to France Avenue and is happy to hear it will be addressed.
Jerry Ribnick, 4310 West 25th St., stated he is a long-term resident, a walker, and biker.
He suggested the issue is automobiles and people are understating the needs. The
housing density will create more traffic. He noted if you travel east on Minnetonka
Boulevard during rush hour, it’s a mess and this will just move it farther west. He added
a shared-use trail is a concern with walkers, bikers, and scooters. He added from Joppa
to France Avenue, if the traffic is reduced, it seems it will be doubled on Highway 25.
Heath Hertel, 2833 Joppa Ave., stated his concerns relate to moving from a 4-lane to a
2-lane road. He explained trying to get onto Minnetonka Boulevard during rush hour is
challenging and it’s the only way to get to Highway 100 efficiently. He stated when it
goes down to one lane, turning will be a concern. He added rerouting of Inglewood
Avenue traffic and not being able to turn there is also a concern.
Mark Fredrickson, 2851 Joppa Ave., stated he has lived in his home for 28 years and in
that time has seen changes, including adding a synagogue and narrowing of the road. He
explained on Fridays and Saturdays only one lane of traffic can get on Joppa Avenue. He
stated he is concerned about stormwater issues and has not heard how this will be
addressed.
Teresa Simon, Quentin Ave., noted the illustrations don’t show what will happen west of
the mapped area. She noted moving the traffic away from the homes will be a good
thing and residents need to have a say related to livability in the neighborhood. She
thought the goal would be to make this a more residential street and move faster traffic
to Highway 7. She added Quentin is a cut through and the front door of city hall should
remain where it currently is.
Julia Fredrickson, 2851 Joppa Ave., echoed many of the comments and disagreed that it
is equally as fast to go from Minnetonka Boulevard to Highway 100 as on Highway 7.
She is not a huge fan of three lanes and is concerned with the traffic light on Joppa and
the traffic near the synagogues. She suggested a flashing crossing light should be there
and to keep the current light at Inglewood. She noted Joppa is very narrow and it’s
difficult to get through with cars parked along both sides.
Virgil Boller, Joppa Ave., stated the traffic light on Joppa is not very thoughtful. He asked
if staff knows how many streetlights are on Joppa, noting there are six lights on the
school and synagogue, because there is constant foot traffic. He has concerns about
more traffic on Joppa and noted that traffic accidents will be addressed by diverting
traffic onto Highway 7.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
The city council is scheduled to take formal action on this item at the Dec. 5, 2022,
meeting.

Title: City council meeting minutes of Nov. 21, 2022
7. Requests, petitions, and communications from the public – none.
8. Resolutions, ordinances, motions, and discussion items
8a. Adopt resolution accepting Councilmember Kraft’s resignation effective Dec.
30, 2022, and declaring a vacancy for the office of council member at-large A
for the term expiring Jan. 2, 2024. Resolution No. 22-177
Councilmember Kraft stated he is excited and sad as he has enjoyed being on council
and noted he will recuse himself from this discussion.
Ms. Kennedy presented the report to council. She stated the application period will
open on Nov. 22 and will close on Dec. 6. She noted applications are available on the
city website, on the 3rd floor at city hall or upon request from her office. She explained
as per council’s previous direction, staff developed an appointment process that would
allow council to fill the vacancy in early 2023.
Ms. Kennedy stated the new member will be appointed to fill the remainder of the term
expiring on January 2, 2024. The office of council member at large A will be on the ballot
in November 2023. If the new member wants to see a new terms, they will need to file
for candidacy and run for the office during the 2023 election cycle.
Mayor Spano stated Councilmember Kraft is resigning because he was elected to the
state legislature representing St. Louis Park, noting the council is proud of him.
Councilmember Rog asked where this information about the vacancy will be shared.
Ms. Kennedy stated the information will be shared via the city’s social media accounts,
the Sun Sailor, Next Door, Gov Delivery notifications, and on the city website.
Mayor Spano encouraged residents to reach out with questions about serving in this
role.
It was moved by Councilmember Mohamed, seconded by Councilmember Dumalag, to
adopt Resolution No. 22-177 accepting Councilmember Kraft’s resignation effective Dec.
30, 2022, and declaring a vacancy for the office of council member at-large A for the
term expiring Jan. 2, 2024.
The motion passed 5-0. (Councilmember Kraft recused himself).
8b. Adopt ordinance related to licensing requirements for the sale of cannabinoid
products. Ordinance 2658-22
Mr. Pivec and Chief Harcey presented the staff report.
Councilmember Kraft asked if license holders are notified in advance of compliance
checks. Chief Harcey stated a notification letter is sent in advance of the check.
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of Nov. 21, 2022
Councilmember Kraft asked if there is a violation, will the city wait until the following
year to do a follow-up check. Chief Harcey stated typically the police will do a recheck
within the next 6 months.
Councilmember Kraft stated as a parent of teens he has mixed feelings about the
legalization of marijuana, but generally he does feel this should be legal to avoid
creation of a black market. He noted this should be kept out of the hands of teens
whose brains are much more susceptible to being harmed by using this substance. He
added given that the checking of a facility is not a surprise, he is not comfortable with
the penalties being as low as they are and is more comfortable with something that is
done much like liquor penalties. He asked that something different be considered for
the penalties for violations.
Councilmember Budd asked if the 3rd offense will stay at $2,000. Councilmember Kraft
stated he made no changes to the 3rd offense.
Councilmember Rog asked why there are different departments administering penalties
for alcohol and tobacco – being city clerk and licensing.
Mr. Mattick explained the city clerk does the liquor licensing, and tobacco is done in
licensing. Mr. Hoffman added liquor licensing is something that is approved by the city
council; therefore, the city clerk handles this. He noted other licensing is done
administratively and does not need to go to council or the city clerk. He stated city
council approval of liquor licenses is done in accordance with state statute and includes
a public hearing requirement.
Mayor Spano stated he is supportive with changing the penalty noting the rationale
makes sense here.
It was moved by Councilmember Kraft, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to adopt
Ordinance 2658-22 related to licensing requirements for the sale of cannabinoid
products, adding that the first offense be $1,000, and the second offense be $2,000, with
no other changes to the penalties.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Brausen absent).
8c. Adopt ordinance establishing fee for 2023 THC edible licensing and add to
Appendix A of the city code of ordinances. Ordinance 2659-22
Mr. Pivec presented the staff report.
Mayor Spano thanked staff and council for their work on this licensing process.
Councilmember Rog stated she is supportive of further discussion related to parity
between THC and alcohol violation penalties.

Title: City council meeting minutes of Nov. 21, 2022
It was moved by Councilmember Dumalag, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to
adopt Ordinance 2659-22 establishing fee for 2023 THC edible licensing and add to
Appendix A of the city code of ordinances.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Brausen absent).
9. Communications
Ms. Keller noted Thanksgiving and Hmong new year, which are both holidays rooted
around gratitude and the annual harvest. She stated she plans to educate herself about
the history of Thanksgiving and activities she and her family can do to make sure this is
an inclusive event for her and deepens her gratitude. She expressed her gratitude for
council and staff and for the St. Louis Park community.
Councilmember Mohamed commented on a shooting in Colorado Springs affecting the
LGBTQ+ community and stated she wanted to pause and reflect on this incident.
10. Adjournment

City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4c) Page 3
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 5, 2022
Elaine Mentze, 6700 Cedar Lake Rd., expressed concern that her taxes have gone up and
her home value is not commensurate with the proposed increase. She is a senior citizen
and does not have income to sustain tax increases. She noted there are many senior
citizens here that need to be taken care of, so they can live here the way they want to.
She stated she lives next door to a commercial building and feels the tax proposal is
outrageous. She asked what seniors are supposed to do when they need more funds.
She questioned why the city needs bike lanes or more apartments, adding there is too
much traffic, and it feels the city council is disregarding the citizens of St. Louis Park.
Elaine Nikrad, 2411 Gettysburg Ave., stated she has lived in St. Louis Park for 45 years.
She agreed with previous comments made, noting it seems her taxes went up 20%. She
understands some can be gained back through tax credits. She reviewed the information
provided to try to understand the logic behind the increase, but it does not make sense
to her. She asked how the city considers the additional revenues that should be coming
in from the new multi-family buildings and how devaluation of property is assessed. She
noted home values and taxes are increasing, but incomes are not increasing at the same
rate.
Therese Samudio, 2947 Quentin Ave. S, stated the housing market went up last spring,
but then it came back down, and she does not feel that is reflected in the calculations.
She expressed concern that homes are not worth what they were in the spring of 2022.
She stated the value of her house increased $40,000 but it was too late to contest the
proposed valuation. She reiterated she does not believe the homes are worth what the
city says they are.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Mayor Spano noted city staff and the city assessor can walk through the proposed taxes
and property values with residents and encouraged them to contact staff at city hall.
The city council is scheduled to take formal action on this item on December 19, 2022.
7. Requests, petitions, and communications from the public – none.
8. Resolutions, ordinances, motions, and discussion items
8a. Adopt resolution granting city support for the preferred layout for the
Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. improvement project and authorizing staff
to continue to work with Xcel Energy on undergrounding the overhead utilities.
Resolution No. 22-187
Mr. Warford, principal transportation engineer for Bolton & Menk, presented the staff
report.
Councilmember Rog noted she had questions and concerns related to buses. Buses may
block traffic and create flow problems, as well as drivers going around the bus. Mr.
Warford stated they had conversations with Metro Transit noting buses do stop in lanes
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4c) Page 4
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 5, 2022
and stay there. Typically, that is modeled with average stop times. He added there is a
benefit to keep buses in the lane and the traffic modeling shows minor impacts on travel
time.
Councilmember Rog asked if there are ways bus schedules and lights are coordinated to
optimize travel times. Mr. Warford stated yes, but he has not heard this is a plan for
Minnetonka Boulevard, and typically this is for corridors with heavier travel.
Councilmember Rog noted a resident is concerned about people using side streets
because Minnetonka Boulevard is a bottleneck. Mr. Warford stated in general, with the
volumes seen today, there are not concerns. He added the two locations of concern are
at Highway 100 and the turns at Highway 25. He stated west of Salem Avenue the
configuration goes back to a 4-lane road, and it should not be a bottleneck.
Councilmember Rog asked about adding an audible and beacon crossing light at
Quentin. Ms. Heiser stated staff often receives this question from the public and it can
be looked at.
Councilmember Rog stated the owners of Yum are concerned about the project. Mr.
Warford stated they met with the owners and acknowledged they do have concerns. He
stated they have three issues: access, visibility, and seating. He explained the owners
want to work through a few things before they will support the project and now have a
better understanding of the access issues. He added there are some things the county
wants to do and will work with the city to help address the owners’ questions during
final design.
Councilmember Rog stated as a pedestrian and biker, there will be a significant
improvement on snow removal. Ms. Heiser stated snow removal on the sidewalks is the
city’s responsibility, but there is nowhere to put the snow. She noted the 9-foot
boulevard and trail will help the city do a better job of cleaning snow in the winter.
Councilmember Rog asked what people can expect with construction. Mr. Warford
stated construction is never fun, it’s a long corridor, and construction will be impactful.
There will be some early utility relocation and replacement of the water main will be
disruptive. He shared that there are some north/south routes that can be used, but he is
not sure how this will be coordinated yet. He stated people will be able to get to their
homes and businesses in the area. He added the work will be segmented over the
course of a couple seasons.
Councilmember Rog added the water main replacement will be a good project especially
considering recent developments. Ms. Heiser stated it is time to replace this as this road
has not been touched since 1954.
Councilmember Kraft stated he appreciates the detail responding to the comments and
concerns of residents, and the modifications, especially at Joppa Avenue. He added at
the highest level this is consistent with strategic priorities and this will increase safety
for pedestrians, bikes, and cars, and will create a bicycle corridor where one doesn’t
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4c) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 5, 2022
exist today. He added it improves water management, adds green space, and makes this
traffic neutral by diverting to help handle more volume. He added in principle this
seems positive and he is supportive of the policy questions.
Councilmember Brausen stated he agrees with Councilmember Kraft’s comments,
noting it’s an expensive project and the fact that the county is covering two-thirds of the
project is great. He added he knows folks have concerns about taxes going up, but this is
the type of big project that requires funds. It creates infrastructure that will last 50 –
100 years, hopefully, is the city’s obligation, and what citizens expect. He stated he was
also supportive of the policy questions.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she will also support this project, appreciates the care
taken around Salem, and is anxious to see how Joppa and Ottawa end up. She also
expressed interest in seeing other iterations of the design.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she supports this proposal, adding as a driver and
pedestrian in that area, this helps her feel confident in the upgrades that will be coming.
Councilmember Budd agreed with comments previously made and supported the policy
questions. She is excited about the opportunity to feel safe walking and biking along
Minnetonka Boulevard.
Mayor Spano added he also will support this. He thanked county and city staff for
coming back with the details and updates, especially around the light at Joppa Avenue.
He feels insecure driving in this area, noting it is confusing, but this configuration will
help Minnetonka Boulevard return to a neighborhood feel. He added the Quentin
Avenue crossing is intimidating for him also and a concern, where a controlled crossing
is needed.
Mayor Spano stated he lives off Excelsior Boulevard where a lot has been done over the
last 15 years. He stated it has increased traffic in his area, but in many ways has made
him a more careful and thoughtful driver. He stated traffic patterns will change but over
time, driver habits will become safer, noting he will support this as well.
Councilmember Rog thanked the people who gave feedback in multiple ways and hopes
everyone has felt heard. She saw multiple revisions to this plan and there will be more
concerns as we move forward. She appreciated the work of county and city staff on the
design, noting it aligns with community priorities for safe walking, biking, and cars, and
promotes an active street and robust public realm. She stated one concern is that a
resident said the re-design will destroy the charm of the Fernhill neighborhood, but she
is confident those changes will enhance the charm and be more welcoming, adding she
hopes the greatest skeptics will enjoy the design to come. She added she looks to staff
to be sure detours are well managed and communicated during this challenging time
and she is excited about the project.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Kraft, to adopt
Resolution No. 22- 187, granting city support for the preferred layout for the Hennepin
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4c) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 5, 2022
County Minnetonka Blvd. improvement project and authorizing staff to continue to work
with Xcel Energy on undergrounding the overhead utilities.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
Mayor Spano stated Dec. 6 at 11:59 p.m. is the deadline to file applications for the

Mayor Spano referenced item 5h, stating the bid information was confusing. He noted
$263,932 was budgeted for this item, and the bid was lower than that. He added the
city manager’s authority for approval is capped at $175,000 per purchase, so this is the
reason this item is coming back to council for approval.
Councilmember Mohamed commented on item 5e, stating she likes the idea of having
proclamations for cultural and religious holidays because it is a great way to increase
awareness. She asked to explore how to make this practice more impactful and
meaningful for residents and those the city is aiming to honor. She suggested
community members who observe these holidays or events be invited to read the
proclamation at the meeting. She asked for other suggestions to collaborate and find
ways to honor the holidays and observances without tokenizing.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to approve
the agenda as presented and items listed on the consent calendar; and to waive reading
of all resolutions and ordinances.
The motion passed 6-0.

a. Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue improvement projects (4023-1100,
4024-1000)
Mr. Shamla presented the staff report. Mr. Imholte, consultant from Kimley Horn,
explained the public engagement process.
Mayor Spano clarified that $2 million is congressionally directed funding and
$7 million is from Met Council.
Councilmember Brausen noted the final design is 30% completed and asked when final
design will be completed. Mr. Shamla stated in later 2023, early 2024.
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4d) Page 3
Title: City council meeting of January 17, 2023
Councilmember Brausen asked if, during the final design process, the city will continue
to work with residents on their specific concerns. Mr. Shamla confirmed and noted
residents can meet with staff at their residence or at city hall.
Councilmember Brausen commented on the importance of this project to Ward 4,
noting these are the two major roadways that run through the ward. He noted everyone
uses these roads daily and this is a large, expensive project. He thanked the public that’s
been engaged throughout this process, adding hundreds have participated thus far. He
recognized the 20 or more in attendance and thanked them for being engaged in the
process with council and staff. He stated all the public input will continue to have an
impact on the project and final design.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Gay Arnaz, 8100 Virginia Circle, stated he does not want to see the lights at Cedar Lake
Road and Texas removed. He added the roundabout at Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana
Avenue scares him and he has concerns about maneuvering through that location.
Mary Hendrickson, 9015 Cedar Lake Rd., stated she hopes the giant utility boxes will be
removed from her front yard during the project. She stated there should be 15 feet for
each easement and questioned if some might be protected beyond that typical
easement given the associated costs.
William Snell, 1615 Nevada Ave., referenced Cedar Lake Road and asked if there will be
bike lanes on both sides, suggesting they should be sidewalks. He asked how people will
get in and out of the shopping centers at Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue with a
roundabout. He questioned how police and fire vehicles get through the roundabouts
with traffic, especially during rush hour. He asked if roundabouts will be at Cedar Lake
Road and Virginia Avenue and at Cedar Manor School and where the yield will be for
these roundabouts.
Mike Hendrickson, 9015 Cedar Lake Rd., stated residents need education on how to
drive in and access roundabouts. He explained the storm drain on his property is always
clogged with ice and snow, so they get water there, and he would like to see this cleared
up. He also expressed concern that people were not trimming trees in front of homes
and that the city was not trimming the trees in public rights-of-way and there should be
a shared responsibility.
Adam Bahalski, 1633 Louisiana Ave., stated the potential sidewalks and bike lanes would
affect him as he lives on the east side. He opposed installing bike lanes and sidewalks on
that side because of the mature trees. He stated it’s a gateway into the city and it would
be a shame to get rid of the trees. He supported alternative #3 as proposed. He noted
there is a sidewalk on the west side, and it does not get used, so he is not sure why one
is needed on the east side.
Nancy Gronseth, 7924 Cedar Lake Rd., stated she does not want the roundabout and
expressed concern with semitrucks going through a roundabout. She added Louisiana
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4d) Page 4
Title: City council meeting of January 17, 2023
Avenue and Cedar Lake Road are grouped together, but noted they each have their own
unique characteristics and uses. She stated Louisiana connects with 394, and goes to
Minnetonka Boulevard, providing through access and Cedar Lake Road has more
residential traffic. She stated Cedar Lake Road is still a neighborhood street with bikers
and walkers. She asked the council to consider usage. She mentioned the boulevard
trees, noting the trees have been planted three times in 35 years and they need to get
the plan right.
Louis Puga, 7918 Cedar Lake Rd., asked about tree impacts and how homeowners will
find out what will happen to their properties. He expressed concerned about the
roundabout.
Kelsey Thomas, 9010 Stanlen Rd., stated she would like the families impacted that go to
PSI to be actively invited to future design meetings. She felt the pop-up meeting was not
well communicated and she would like to see better advertisement of those
opportunities, so families can know in advance.
Tyler Seeger, 2501 Pennsylvania Ave., thanked the city council for this process, stating
he and his family are in support of the project, although it does impact them. He
thanked city for making this pedestrian and bike friendly and for considering mass
transit needs. He asked the council to please keep in mind the families impacted on
Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue, and to try to minimize the impact of
encroachment on the right-of-way and tree loss.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Rog stated the questions from this evening will be responded to by staff
verbally at the meeting in two weeks.
Councilmember Brausen added that residents can reach out to staff for answers to their
questions prior to the meeting, adding staff is very responsive.
The council is scheduled to take formal action on this item at the Feb. 6, 2023, meeting.
7. Regular business.
a. Adopt Resolution accepting the project report, establishing the 2023 Pavement
Management Project (4023-1000), approving plans and specifications, and
authorizing advertisement for bids. Resolution No. 23-018
Mr. Wiesen presented the report.
Councilmember Budd stated the Oak Park Village Community is very excited about this
project and she is excited about this plan.
Councilmember Brausen stated he appreciates staff’s work on the annual pavement
management project, and commented on the public hearings and input that has gone
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 4d) Page 5
Title: City council meeting of January 17, 2023
into this process. He appreciated the review of parking on Edgewood Avenue as that
was a concern to property owners and is excited about the sidewalk addition as well.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Budd, to adopt
Resolution No. 23-018, establishing the 2023 Pavement Management Project (4023-
1000), approving plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisement for bids.
The motion passed 6-0.
8. Communications.
Councilmember Mohamed stated yesterday was the National Day of Racial Healing and an
event was held at the Westwood Hills Nature Center, with great food, and great conversations.
She enjoyed the event and thanked Dr. Stephens and School Superintendent Osei for their
participation. She stated the real stars were the (SOAR) “Students Organized for Anti-Racism”,
noting they did a wonderful job and commended them for facilitating the conversation on their
day off. She stated she left feeling great about the future generation.
Mayor Spano agreed and stated his work with the SOAR students has also been wonderful.
Ms. Keller stated the next meeting on Mon., Jan. 23, will be the second round of interviews for
the open councilmember position.
Ms. Keller explained winter parking restrictions will be put into effect due to heavy snow in
January. She stated there is a map online for which streets will go to one-side parking with
enforcement (tickets and tows if needed) on Friday, noting the restrictions will not lift until the
city decides when it is safe to do so. She noted the changes are needed because streets are too
narrow for emergency vehicles and garbage trucks to pass through. She stated residents are
encouraged to contact staff with any questions.
9. Adjournment.
The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

Executive summary
Title: Second reading of ordinance amending city code chapter 3 related to alcoholic beverages
Recommended action: Motion to adopt ordinance amending city code chapter 3 related to
alcoholic beverages.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support the proposed amendments to align the
city’s regulations related to the sale and service of alcohol with state law?
Summary: Chapter 3 of the city code governs the sale and service of alcohol in the city,
including licensing requirements. The goal of the proposed amendments is to simplify certain
areas of the code to align with the liquor rules and regulations outlined in M.S. Chapter 340A.
Proposed changes reflect an explicit deference to state law to eliminate, wherever possible, the
need to amend the code each time a provision in state law changes. The city attorney and
League of MN Cities support this approach to regulating liquor at the local level. This ensures
the city’s regulations comply with state law and are responsive to the needs of current and
future licensees. The city continues to retain the ability to be more restrictive than state law,
although the preferred approach has been to provide as much flexibility as possible for licensed
establishments while also maintaining the character and standards of both neighborhood and
commercial districts.
The city council approved the first reading of the ordinance on February 21, 2023, with no
changes.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.
Supporting documents: Draft ordinance

responsible bidder and authorize execution of a contract in the amount of $147,452.80 for the
removal of nuisance trees on public property for 2023 - 2024.
Policy consideration: Does the city council want to award a contract for the removal of
nuisance trees on public property?
Summary: At their January 3, 2023, meeting, the city council approved advertising for bids to
remove nuisance trees on public property. A total of six (6) bids were received for this project
on March 2, 2023. A summary of the bid results is shown below:
Contractor Bid Amount
Bratt Tree Company $162,530.00
Northeast Tree $198,380.00
Precision Landscape $239,450.00
Pro-Tree Outdoor Services $147,452.80
Shadywood Tree Experts $385,785.00
The Davey Tree Experts $273,995.00
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Pro-Tree Outdoor Services in the amount of
$147,452.80. Pro-Tree Outdoor Services has successfully completed similar work for the City of
Eden Prairie with positive feedback from Eden Prairie staff.
Industry reports indicated an 8% - 10% increase in contract costs for 2023. This inflation is
attributed to increased fuel and labor costs along with supply and demand from emerald ash
borer removals in the area. Budget estimates were developed in June 2022, and the bids
received came in under budget.
Removal of trees on public property is required for compliance with the city’s vegetation
nuisance codes; primarily removal of diseased, insect infested, and hazard trees. Tree removal
helps keep the public safe and reduces infection/infestation in healthy trees.
Financial or budget considerations: Annual tree removal is included in the city’s budget, under
the natural resources division.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.
Supporting documents: None.

Title: Bid tabulation: 2023 pavement management project (4023-1000)
Discussion
Background
Bids were received on Feb. 23, 2023, for the 2023 Pavement Management project. The 2023
construction season is the eighteenth year of implementing the city's Pavement Management
Program. This year's work, project no. 4023-1000, will be performed in Areas 1 and 7 of the
city's eight pavement management areas. It includes work in the Lenox, Oak Hill, Texa-Tonka
and Eliot View neighborhoods, Wards 3 and 4. Selection of street segments included in the
project was based on street condition and field evaluations to determine the current conditions
of the pavement, curb and gutter, and the city's underground utilities.
An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor on Jan. 26, 2023, and
Feb. 2, 2023, and in Finance and Commerce from Jan. 24, 2023 to Jan. 30, 2023. In addition,
plans and specifications were available for viewing at City Hall and electronically via the
internet on the city's OneOffice website. Information regarding this bidding opportunity was
shared with three minority associations and 35 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)
contractors, as well as posted on the Association of Women Contractors Bid Opportunity Board.
Forty-four contractors/vendors downloaded plan sets, of which six were DBE companies.
Funding details
Staff has analyzed the bids and determined that Bituminous Roadways, Inc. is a qualified
contractor that can complete this work during the 2023 construction season. The low bid does
exceed the city's 2023 CIP values for storm sewer and sanitary sewer utility. The low bid came
in lower than the CIP values on the other funding sources. Based on the low bid received, cost
and funding details are as follows:
CIP Low bid
Construction cost $ 6,764,000.00 $ 6,833,384.89
Engineering and administration $ 1,016,000.00 $ 997,969.29
Base bid total $ 7,780,000.00 $ 7,831,354.18

Base bid total $ 7,780,000.00 $ 7,831,354.18
Due to the nature of our construction projects, unexpected costs do come up. To address this,
past practice has been to show a contingency for the project. What follows is a table that shows
this contingency and how this would affect the project costs.

Attached is the overall financial summary for the transportation and maintenance projects
included in the 2023 CIP. As each project is brought to the council for final approval and for bid
award, this summary will be updated to reflect the bids received. Final numbers will depend on
bids received.
Bid analysis
The low bid is 0.66% over the CIP amount. Below is an analysis of the costs for each funding
category.
Pavement management: The low bid for pavement management is $13,851.67 under the
pavement management CIP amount.
Water utility: The low bid for watermain utility is $2,635.94 under the watermain utility CIP
amount.
Stormwater utility: The low bid for the storm utility is $197,568.66 (33.7%) over the storm
utility CIP amount. After reviewing the bid, the increase is due to the cost of catch basins,
manhole structures, and reinforced concrete pipe. When compared to 2022 bid item prices, the
cost of catch basins increased by 42%, the cost of manhole structures increased by 100%, and
the cost of reinforced concrete pipe increased by 32%. City staff reached out to the contractor
to gain a better understanding of the increase in storm structure costs. Contractors have been
seeing a 50% to 100% increase in cost for concrete storm pipes and structures. This trend has
been present for the last couple of years. This is due to a number of factors: ever-changing
market, increase in construction demand, supply chain issues and trucking/delivery costs.
Sanitary sewer utility: The low bid for the sanitary sewer utility is $51,354.20 (17.5%) over the
sanitary sewer utility CIP amount. After reviewing the bid, the increase is due to the cost of
sanitary sewer manhole structures. When compared to 2022 bid item prices, the cost for
sanitary sewer manhole structures increased by 100%. The reasons for the increase in sanitary
structure costs are the same as the increase in storm sewer structure costs.
Sidewalks: The low bid for the sidewalk segments is $181,081.07 under the sidewalk CIP
amount.
Recommendation
There are three options open to the city when a bid is higher than what is included in the CIP.
These are: reject the bid and rebid for this year, reject the bid and delay the project until a
Page 4 City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 5d)
Title: Bid tabulation: 2023 pavement management project (4023-1000)
future year, and award the bid after a review of the overall financial management plan to
understand if funding is available.
To prepare the recommendation for award, staff explored these three options and is
recommending that the bid be awarded. This recommendation was developed after reaching
out to contractors to better understand the bidding climate. Staff does not recommend going
back out to bid for this project in 2023 since it is unlikely that the pricing will change.
To ensure that the condition of streets remains good and that they continue to serve the
community, staff recommends that the city move ahead with this project in 2023.
To accomplish this, engineering has reviewed the contract costs with the interim finance
director. Utility funds will be able to pay for the increased cost of the project, including
contingency, as long as future CIP projects are reviewed to offset these additional costs.
In the coming months, staff will review the existing CIP and look for opportunities to offset the
additional sanitary and stormwater costs in future years.
Next steps
Construction is anticipated to begin in May and should be completed by November 2023.

Title: Miscellaneous zoning ordinance amendments
Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of Ordinance amending chapter 36 of
the city code pertaining to zoning and set the second reading for March 20, 2023.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support the proposed ordinance amendments?
Summary: Periodically staff proposes an ordinance to amend various sections of the zoning
code for the purpose of making changes that are consistent with current policy, correcting
errors and making clarifications. The following is a list of the more substantiative amendments:
1. Revise maximum number of vehicles allowed to be parked outside on a single-dwelling
residential property.
2. Expand on existing driveway standards for residential properties in the R-1, R-2, and R-3
districts.
3. Extend the temporary structure time limit from 14 days to 180 days per calendar year.
4. Allow exterior materials on existing buildings to be painted without changing the class 1, 2
or 3 materials makeup.
5. Remove the condition requiring food service land uses to be setback from residential
properties.
6. Revise the electric vehicle charging station requirement to be consistent with the
Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry ruling that cities cannot require EVCS in any
building or parking structure, except surface parking lots.
7. Allow office uses as permitted uses in the MX-1 mixed-use district.
8. Additional minor amendments or code corrections.
The planning commission reviewed the ordinance in study session on January 18, 2023, and
conducted a public hearing on February 15, 2023. No comments were received at the public
hearing and both staff and the planning commission are recommending approval.
The attached discussion summarizes each proposed change in detail. The full ordinance is

Title: Miscellaneous zoning ordinance amendments
Discussion: The following is a summary of each section of the proposed zoning ordinance. The
actual redlined changes to the code can be seen in the attached ordinance.
Section 1. Land use definitions. City code section 36-73(b). This amendment clarifies that
patios and ground level decks at non-residential properties can extend to the property line when
adjacent to a street or other non-residential property. The intent is to clarify that outdoor patios
and dining areas between the building and front lot line are allowed.
Section 2. Fence regulations. City code section 36-74(e). This amendment updates the list
of zoning districts where residents can build an eight-foot tall fence when adjacent to the list of
non-residential zoning districts. It adds the MX and PUD districts to the list. These districts were
inadvertently not added to the list when the districts were created.
This section also replaces the word “church” with the words “religious institutions” to be
more inclusive.
Section 3. Temporary uses. City code section 36-82(b). This amendment increases the
number of days from 14 to 180 that a temporary structure, such as a tent, can be utilized. This
increase is the result of temporary measures taken during covid that allowed businesses to
expand their active areas, such as dining outdoors. The change would allow activities to occur
outdoors in a similar manner for up to six months per calendar year. The 180 days is expected to
be utilized during the winter but could be used anytime during the year.
Section 4. Land use by zoning district. City code section 36-115. This amendment updates
the range of divisions resulting from the addition of additional zoning districts to the zoning
ordinance. This is a minor update with no substantiative changes.
Section 5. Land use definitions. City code section 36-142(d). This amendment updates the
land use definition for in-vehicle sales or service. The update is in part a result of changes in the
way businesses operate due to covid and technology. Many businesses rely on curbside pick-up
as not only a convenience, but a way to accommodate people’s health needs and concerns. The
proposed amendment excludes curbside pick-up and ATMs from in-vehicle service. As a result,
curbside pick-up and ATMs will be allowed in more areas throughout the city and will not require
special approvals such as a conditional use permit. These uses will be reviewed by staff as needed.
Section 6. Residential restrictions and performance standards. City code section 36-
162(d)(1). This amendment clarifies that pool equipment are bound by the same setbacks as
the pool itself, unless the equipment is contained within a shed, then the shed setbacks apply,
which would allow it to be closer to the property line.
Section 7. Residential restrictions and performance standards. City code section 36-
162(f)(3)a. This amendment would establish a maximum of three vehicles that can be stored
outside on a property. Additional vehicles would have to be parked in a garage or on the street
as allowed. At the planning commission’s request, an exception was added to allow the
maximum to temporarily be exceeded during snow emergencies.
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 7a) Page 3
Title: Miscellaneous zoning ordinance amendments
Current city code allows a maximum of three vehicles but allows up to five vehicles if
there are up to five licensed drivers living at the home. Enforcement of this exception requires
city staff to visit the home to review the licenses of all residents, which can be an invasive
experience for some residents. The exception also requires all residents to be home at the time
of the inspection, which can be difficult to achieve. It is more practical and respectful to
eliminate this exception and have a set number of vehicles that can be stored outside the
garage.
The term “vehicles” includes cars, trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, and some
commercial vehicles. The city code will continue to prohibit trailers and commercial vehicles to
be parked on a residential street, require vehicles to be parked on a paved surface, and require
inoperable vehicles to be parked inside a garage; the ordinance does not amend these rules.
Section 8. Residential restrictions and performance standards. City code section 36-
162(f)(3)k. This amendment accommodates the new driveway regulations proposed in section 9.
Section 9. Residential restrictions and performance standards. City code section 36-162(f).
This section proposes adding the following driveway standards:
1. Establish a maximum driveway width of 36 feet for single-dwelling properties and 44
feet for two-dwelling properties.
2. The maximum width includes space for parking spaces, garage spaces, and
turnarounds.
3. Establish a maximum of one curb cut per street and/or alley for lots less than 80 feet
wide. Two curb cuts per street and/or alley for lots 80 or greater in width. This will
accommodate horse-shoe driveways.
4. Clarify approved driveway and parking space surfaces. This allows ribbon driveways
and permeable pavers if vegetation is maintained between the ribbons and open
areas of permeable pavers. Dirt, sand, and gravel is not allowed as these materials
tend to erode into the street.
5. The following exhibit will be adopted into the code to illustrate some of the
regulations:
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 7a) Page 4
Title: Miscellaneous zoning ordinance amendments
Section 10. C-1 neighborhood commercial district. City code section 36-193(c). This
amendment removes the conditions that food services must be located at least 25 feet from
properties zoned residential and that they must be located on a collector or arterial roadway.
Nearly all properties zoned C-1 neighborhood commercial are located within 25 feet of a
property zoned residential. As a result, the food service use is not permitted in most properties
zoned C-1 neighborhood commercial. This includes food related uses that rely on take-out such
as bakeries, pizza deliveries, taco bars, or other food services with seating for 10 or fewer
people. These uses are desirable in neighborhood commercial areas, and therefore, the setback
requirement should be removed. Additionally, the 25-foot-setback is not required in other
districts, so removing this requirement would be consistent with other districts.
Section 11. C-2 general commercial district. City code section 36-194(b). This amendment
allows the food service use, as discussed in section 10 above, to be a permitted use in the C-2
general commercial district without additional conditions.
Section 12. C-2 general commercial district. City code section 36-194(c). This amendment
removes food service from the permitted with conditions section. This deletion, in conjunction
with section 11 above, which adds food service as a permitted use, eliminates the 25-foot
setback from residential requirement. As a result, food service will be permitted in the same
manner in all districts where it is allowed.
Section 13. Electric vehicle supply equipment. City code section 36-361. This amendment
removes the electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) requirement from inside buildings and
parking structures. This deletion is required to be consistent with the Minnesota Department of
Labor and Industry ruling that cities cannot require EVCS in buildings or parking structures. The
city can and will continue to require them in parking structures if financial assistance is
provided, as part of a planned unit development or incentive agreement. The ruling does not
restrict the city from requiring EVCS in surface parking lots, so the city will continue to do so.
Section 14. Architectural design. City code section 36-366(c). This section allows brick and
other materials on existing buildings to be painted. City code currently prohibits brick and other
materials from being painted. It recently came to the city’s attention that some property owners
have painted their building over the past several years in violation of city code. During the
enforcement process, staff became aware that there was some interest from members of the
council to allow buildings to be painted. Enforcement is a challenge because no permits are
required to paint buildings, so staff are discovering them after they have been painted rather
than preventing them from being painted.
This section also proposes to allow non-residential buildings to enclose open covered
patios with a flexible, transparent membrane for up to 180 days. This could allow covered
outdoor patios to be used during the winter months. This regulation is consistent with the
proposed amendment to allow temporary structures for up to 180 days.
Section 15. Land use descriptions and characteristics. City code section 36-142(d). This
section clarifies the existing marijuana dispensary definition to make sure it encompasses all
City council meeting of March 6, 2023 (Item No. 7a) Page 5
Title: Miscellaneous zoning ordinance amendments
types of facilities that could sell recreational and medical marijuana. There is some concern the
current definition could be interpreted to exclude some facilities or even recreational sales. The
city has a definition for the use, but currently does not allow the use anywhere in the city. If the
city wishes to allow sales in the city, staff proposes to consider where and how it should be
allowed if the state legalizes it. That way the city can consider all aspects of the use, including
state requirements, before amending the ordinance to allow it.
Section 16. M-X mixed use district. City code section 36-264 – Table 263(b). This section
pertains to the MX-1 mixed-use district. It proposes to remove the office use from the “permitted
in limited stories” category to the “permitted” category. The result is that office uses will be
allowed on primary street frontages without additional conditions. Current code allows them on
primary street frontages; however, the office use cannot occupy the front 30 feet of the tenant
space. That space would have to be occupied by another use such as retail, showrooms, or other
uses. The change would allow the office use to occupy the entire tenant space.
