3. Approval of Minutes
3a. City Council Meeting Minutes of October 15, 2001
The minutes were approved as presented with the following changes:
Regarding Mr. John Basill’s comments, the last sentence of Page 9, Councilmember
Nelson said it seems to imply the thrust of the sentence is that Mr. Basill favors traffic
going to the south, which may be incorrect; Councilmember Nelson believed Mr. Basill’s
4
intent was to to state that if traffic goes south and we build to the south, that would be the
best case scenario. Councilmember Nelson suggested that the minutes be changed to
reflect that statement.
In regard to Page 10, Councilmember Nelson recommended the following: Make the
amendment but also include in the report itself some bracketed language indicating the
Council made changes so the readers of the report’s final version will be aware of the
changes. City Manager, Mr. Charlie Meyer, said he will make the changes in the report to
indicate the Council made the change in its resolution.
3b. Study Session Minutes of October 22, 2001
The minutes were approved as presented.

7. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions
7a. 1st Reading of an ordinance adopting administrative penalties procedures for
certain violations of city code.
City Clerk, Cindy Reichert, said this is the first reading of an ordinance to allow the
establishment of administrative penalties procedures for violations of certain code
provisions, which would provide an alternative to the county court system in the
enforcement of the City Code. Ms. Reichert said, currently, county citations are issued or
formal complaints are filed, which require a court appearance. The new procedure would
allow for the issuance of a city citation and the subsequent charge of an administrative fee
or fine for some violations. It would be at Council’s discretion to establish which
violations in the City Code they want to apply this procedure to. Presently, only four code
violations have been identified as going forward with the new procedure, which would be
done by resolution; a resolution will be presented at the second reading with the four code
violations listed. The violations under consideration are: failure to allow access to water
meters or utilities; failure to remedy ordered utility repairs; failure to comply with
sprinkling restrictions; and failure to comply with sidewalk snow removal requirements.
Councilmember Sanger would like to know if a mechanism is in place for nonpayment of a
fine, e.g., the unpaid fine is added to one’s property taxes. Ms. Reichert said abatement
procedures remain in place; if a City crew removed snow from one’s sidewalk, the charge,
which is for a service, can be assessed to the property and can go against one’s property
6
taxes, however, the City may not collect fines and administrative penalties from property
taxes. (See also City Manager Mr. Meyer’s comment under Item 9, Communications).
It was moved by Councilmember Latz, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to approve
first reading and set second reading for November 19, 2001 establishing procedures for
achieving compliance with certain code provisions allowing for citations and fines
separate from those imposed by the county court system.
The motion passed 7-0.
Ms. Reichert added: The amount of the fine to be proposed in the resolution will be $25.00
per occurrence.
7b. Non Union Compensation – 2002
Human Resources Manager, Nancy Gohman, reported on non-union compensations
comprised of three parts: the general increase of 3.5%; a 3.5% increase to paid-on-call
firefighters for their bonus plans and wages; and a 3.5% increase for the City Manager’s
compensation. Ms. Gohman said because the City Manager’s salary has met its cap, the
City must make a request to the Department of Employee Relations for a formal
exemption.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Santa, to adopt
Resolution 01-125 confirming the City Manager’s decision to set a 3.5% standard
adjustment for non-union salaries for 2002, increase the performance bonus and rate of
pay for paid-on-call firefighters by 3.5% and approve an adjustment to the City Manager’s
salary.
The motion passed 7-0.
Councilmember Latz inquired of Ms. Gohman if union contracts are also offering increases
of 3.5%, and she responded, yes, the City has been fairly consistent. Ms. Gohman also
stated, at this time, four of five contracts are still open for 2002.
7c. Establishing employer contributions for employer-provider cafeteria style
benefit programs for 2002 for non-union positions and the City Manager.
Human Resources Manager, Nancy Gohman, reported on the City’s contribution toward
employees’ cafeteria benefits plan.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Brimeyer, to adopt
Resolution01-126 establishing city contribution toward employees’ cafeteria benefits plan
for non-union, non-exempt (eligible for overtime) and exempt (not eligible for overtime)
employees including the City Manager for 2002.
7
The motion passed 5-1. Councilmember Nelson opposed. Councilmember Latz was
absent.
7d. The request of Xcel Energy for a Conditional Use Permit for the excavation
of 2,500 cubic yards of soil and replacement of 2,640 cubic yards of fill and a variance
from the landscape bufferyard requirements along the south property boundary at
2201 Edgewood Avenue South. (Cedar Lake Road and Edgewood Avenue)
Case No. 01-46-CUP and 01-50-VAR
Planning and Zoning Supervisor, Janet Jeremiah, reported that in August 2001, Council
rezoned the entire property at the southeast corner of Edgewood Avenue and Cedar Lake
Road to industrial. She said Xcel Energy (Xcel) has applied for a variance to allow them to
eliminate the need for a bufferyard just along the south property line. A conditional use
permit is also required due to Xcel’s plan to excavate and replace soil on site due to soil
correction. On October 17, 2001, the Planning Commission removed one of Staff’s
recommendations for a decorative fence around the facility, indicating a standard chain link
fence would be adequate. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the variance
between the two industrial properties, i.e., Xcel’s and the bus company’s property. Ms.
Jeremiah noted the bus company is required to plant additional landscaping along the
adjoining property boundary with Xcel and Edgewood Avenue. The bus company has
committed to planting the required landscaping in the late spring or early summer of 2002;
Staff has financial sureties to that. Ms. Jeremiah stated Xcel is exceeding the required
landscaping on Edgewood Avenue and Cedar Lake Road, and Xcel has proposed that they
will plant additional landscaping on the bus company property as well for the purpose of
additional screening. Ms. Jeremiah said the requirement for a decorative fence has been
removed.
Councilmember Sanger asked: Because the requirement for a decorative fence has been
removed, why are we continuing to allow a reduction in the amount of Class I materials?
Ms. Jeremiah said the proposal actually meets the standard findings for the reduction in the
Class I material with or without the decorative fence.
Councilmember Latz said he opposes anything that would cause Xcel to move their
substation north—that would be counterproductive, especially for the nearby residential
areas.
Mr. Greg Schneider, Xcel right-of-way agent, addressed the Council. He said on the issues
regarding the variance, not only is it a rodent entrance problem but Xcel desires to
eliminate a means for anyone to climb and gain access to the substation, and trees can aid
in gaining such access. The same is true for barbed wired on the top of the fence.
Xcel would like to avoid pushing the bufferyard onto the neighboring property. Mr.
Schneider is in contact with the bus company, and he informed them Xcel would like to
assist the bus company with the bufferyard on the bus company’s property if the City
requires part of the bufferyard to be on bus company property, however, he has not heard
8
back from the bus company regarding what Xcel may plant, if anything, on bus company
property.
Councilmember Latz asked if the bus company has stated if they have a problem with a
bufferyard not being there; Mr. Schneider said, yes, they have. It was mentioned that an
unidentified individual from the bus company wanted to talk to the landowner, the
unidentified individual wants to be a good neighbor and sees no real need for a bufferyard
between the substation and the bus property as he is aware of the amount of planting and
landscaping around the perimeter of Xcel’s property (along Cedar Lake Road and
Edgewood Avenue). Councilmember Latz commented he is concerned that if a new tenant
were on the bus company property or if that property were to be redeveloped or changed to
another use, would the tenant prefer to have the bufferyard there or the screening, which
one is entitled to under current ordinances.
Councilmember Sanger believes there is another way to satisfy the bufferyard requirements
through fencing rather than through vegetation. She asked if bufferyard requirements have
been explored that way. Ms. Jeremiah said the fencing has been taken into account but
there is also a planting requirement.
Councilmember Young said he would like Council to go forward with the motion on the
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and move the adoption of the resolution on the bufferyard
alternative variance approval. Councilmember Young thinks Council must continue
discussion so he will hold off on a motion.
Councilmember Nelson asked if the City has a separate arrangement with the bus company
and, if so, what is the source? Ms. Jeremiah said the source is the bus company has
outdoor storage of buses on their property, which means there is a screening requirement
for the outdoor storage yard, and the screening requirement remains unmet. Additionally, a
paving requirement also remains unmet. Recently, Staff has received the financial surety to
cover those improvements in the event the bus company does not follow through.
Councilmember Nelson asked Ms. Jeremiah: If Xcel works with the bus company to
increase the bufferyard to the south, how would the City be able to guarantee the increased
bufferyard remains intact if there were to be a title transfer on the bus company property?
Ms. Jeremiah responded, the ordinance requires that be done by covenant, i.e., records that
run with the property to ensure that it continues. Councilmember Nelson thinks Council
should require the bufferyard and a covenant with the bus company.
Councilmember Sanger is unprepared to support the variance request but she will support
the Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Schneider said Xcel would be willing to accommodate the bufferyard if Council thinks
a wood timber fence would adequately meet a bufferyard requirement. Mr. Schneider
explained Xcel has extinguished a lot of its options, e.g., one key option extinguished was
the granting of additional Xcel property west of the existing substation to the City in order
for the City to proceed with its Edgewood Avenue Improvement Project.
9
It was moved by Councilmember Young, seconded by Councilmember Nelson, to adopt
Resolution 01-127 approving the Conditional Use Permit subject to the conditions
recommended by the Planning Commission and included in the resolution.
The motion passed 7-0.
Councilmember Young said he proposes that Council add to the granting of the variance
the inclusion of installing a timber fence that would help on the Xcel property line, and that
would be a compromise to an additional buffer without the giving of the entire variance.
It was moved by Councilmember Young, seconded by Councilmember Brimeyer, to adopt
Resolution01-128 granting the bufferyard variance based upon findings that the seven
criteria have been met and with the addition that a timber fence be put in place to add
additional buffer.
The motion passed 7-0.
Councilmember Brimeyer suggested delaying the installation of the fence on the south side
until June 1, 2002 so that the bus company’s screening and Xcel’s screening can come
together to achieve a coordinated outcome.
Director of Community Development, Tom Harmening, said the City has a $230,000 letter
of credit from the bus company for purposes of insuring the gravel lot is paved and some
landscaping is installed, but he is unsure what ability the City has under its ordinance to
mandate the bus company to do some screening along the north side of its property
adjacent to Xcel.
Mr. Schneider stated it is his understanding the motion includes an eight-foot high timber
fence along the south property line.
8. Boards and Committees
8a. Reappointment of William MacMillan to the Fire Civil Service Commission
It was moved by Councilmember Young, seconded by Councilmember Nelson, to reappoint
William MacMillan to the Fire Civil Service Commission.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
From the City Manager – Mr. Meyer addressed a question Councilmember Sanger asked
earlier about abatement in regard to individuals who do not shovel their sidewalks (see
Item 7a), and Mr. Meyer said abatement will be the exception and not the rule, other
remedies will be tried first.
10
Mr. Meyer reported the excavation for Park Commons went very well, and excavation is
expected to be completed the week of November 5. As construction progresses, so too will
excavation but the major removal of soils has been completed.
From the Mayor – Mayor Jacobs reported he spoke to various third-grade classes about
St. Louis Park’s future, and Park Commons was a prominent discussion item. According to
Mayor Jacobs, it appears Park Commons is a huge hit with the 8- and 9-year-olds.

Fire Chief effective November 20, 2001)
Recommended
Action:
Motion to confirm the appointment of Luke Stemmer as Fire
Chief effective November 20, 2001
Background:
Luke Stemmer was appointed acting Fire Chief concurrent with Bob Gill’s retirement in July

City Council Agenda Item # 7b
Meeting of November 19, 2001
7b. The request of Lohman’s Amhurst Homeowner’s Association for a minor
amendment to their Special Permit for property at the northwest quadrant of
Hwy 7 and Hwy 169 to remove conditions relating to maintaining an
emergency access from Highway 7.
Case No. 01-55-CUP
Recommended
Action:
Motion to adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the
Special Permit to remove conditions related to the emergency
access road.
Background:
The City Council originally approved a Special Permit for the Lohman’s Amhurst townhome
development in 1979. The Special Permit was amended in 1985 to allow construction of 288
townhomes accessed from 36th Street. The Special Permit required maintenance of an
emergency access road from Highway 7 to the south end of the development (see attached
Exhibit G). However, the City Fire Marshall has indicated that the emergency access is
unusable, due to the final design of the Highway 7 right-of-way and the fact that MNDOT does
not maintain access to the gate through the sound walls. Therefore, the Fire Marshall
recommends approval of the amendment relieving the Association of the obligation.
The emergency access involves two townhome property owners. One of the owners has assented
to the application to remove the emergency access requirements. The other owner did not
respond to requests by the homeowner’s association and its legal representative to assent to the
application or let them know of any concerns. Therefore, the City Attorney has accepted an
implied consent of the property owner. The owner was notified that if he did not object by a
certain date, his assent would be assumed. The Association attorney has submitted an affidavit
affirming the implied consent.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving the Special Permit amendment to remove
the emergency access requirements.

CONSENT ITEM # 1
St. Louis Park City Council
Meeting of November 19, 2001
1. Motion to authorize execution of the Subordination Agreement and the
Consent to Assignment, Subordination and Estoppel Agreement.
Background:
The City and the EDA approved a redevelopment agreement with MSP Real Estate at the April
3, 2000 EDA/Council meeting outlining the terms related to the development of the Mill City
site at Highway 7 and Louisiana. The City and EDA approved amendments to this agreement on
May 1, 2000 and August 7, 2000. The City and EDA approved a previous subordination
agreement and consent letter related to MSP Real Estate’s previous lender. MSP Real Estate is in
the process of refinancing its loan on the Louisiana Oaks project at Highway 7 and Louisiana.
Subordination and Consent:
The EDA has a mortgage on the Mill City site that will be released when construction is done.
We have a mortgage on the property to protect the EDA/Council in the event the cleanup did not
occur and the project did not get built. The EDA/Council did agree in the Development
Agreement to subordinate to MSP’s lender if necessary. As part of MSP’s refinancing and loan
closing the new lender is requesting the EDA/Council to subordinate its mortgage and consent to
the assignment of the TIF Note. Currently, the EDA/Council is in second position behind MSP’s
current lender. The EDA/Council will still be in second position but it will be subordinate to the
new lender.
Execution of the Consent To Assignment, Subordination and Estoppel Agreement (“Consent”)
means that the EDA/Council will consent to the fact that MSP will assign the TIF Note to
LaSalle Bank. The consent does not relieve MSP of any of its obligations under the
Redevelopment Agreement. If there is a default by MSP and the Bank takes over performing
under the agreement, the EDA/Council can make TIF payments to the Bank based on language
in the Consent. The EDA also subordinates its rights in the Redevelopment Agreement to the
Bank, but does not subordinate the Assessment Agreement. This means that the minimum
market value on the property remains in place even if the Bank forecloses on its first mortgage.
The EDA attorney has reviewed both the Subordination Agreement and the Consent that the
lender is requesting the EDA/Council to approve same. He has stated that these are routine
requests and is recommending approval.

for a development agreement and letter of credit for Ugorets Addition
Case No. 01-05-S
2230 State Hwy 100 South
Background:
On May 7, 2001, the City Council adopted a resolution approving a final plat for Ugorets
Addition. The plat was requested by Ugorets Properties LLC to combine a strip of land along its
northern property line that it purchased from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad with its
existing parcel. The purpose of the purchase was to facilitate a building addition on the north
side of the existing building.
Subject
TH 100
19
In order to accommodate the proposed building addition, the applicant purchased property from
the railroad and received a variance to eliminate the rear yard requirement for the proposed
addition. Building code does not allow buildings to be constructed over property lines, so
platting was also necessary to remove the property line between the existing parcel and recently
acquired adjacent railroad parcel.
Subsequent to approval of the final plat, Xcel Energy and Ugorets Properties LLC came to an
agreement not to build the proposed addition as planned. The new building addition would be
too close to existing overhead transmission lines. Ugorets Properties LLC has made alternative
plans to move its Midland Glass operation to a different site and to lease the subject property to
another user.
Some of the conditions contained in the approved resolution address the proposed building
addition and require both a development agreement and letters of credit. The applicant is
requesting that, since the original plans have changed and no building expansion is
contemplated, these conditions be removed from the resolution.
The rear yard setback variance approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals to accommodate the
building addition will expire on December 5, 2001.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the amended final plat resolution eliminating requirements for a
development agreement and letter of credit.

CONSENT ITEM # 3
St. Louis Park City Council
Meeting of November 19, 2001
3. Motion to adopt an ordinance establishing administrative penalties procedures
for certain violations of city code and motion to adopt a resolution establishing
violations and associated fines.
Background:
At its meeting of November 5, 2001, Council approved first reading of this ordinance. Staff is
now seeking final approval of the ordinance, and is also presenting for adoption the resolution
setting fees for those violations.
Description of the Ordinance:
The ordinance establishes the administrative penalty procedure as an alternative to County court
proceedings and the associated misdemeanor or petty misdemeanor charges. The process is
voluntary on the part of the City and we may choose to move directly to the County court
process for repeat or flagrant violators of any code provision. Should a violator choose to ignore
the citation or fail to comply, the offense is referred to the County court system and is
prosecuted. Failure to pay a fine is not a separate criminal offense.
The ordinance also calls for the Council to adopt a resolution listing offenses appropriate for this
process and applicable fines. The resolution identifying those penalties is attached and identifies
the following penalties: failure to remove snow from sidewalks, failure to allow access to water
meters and other utilities, and violations of sprinkling restrictions. The suggested fee for each of
these violations is $25 with an increase of $10 above the fine previously paid per subsequent
violation.
Notice:
As discussed at first reading, staff is planning to implement this procedure immediately upon its
adoption as it relates to removal of snow from sidewalks. A notice informing violators of the
ordinance and its effective date will be served on all violators for the first two snow events that
occur this season. Beginning with the third event following the effective date of December 5th,
an immediate citation will be served on all violators.

BY ADDING SECTION 2-204: ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES
THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK DOES ORDAIN:
Section 2-204. Administrative Penalties
(a) Purpose: Administrative offense procedures established pursuant to this Section
are intended to provide the public and the City with an informal, cost effective and expeditious
alternative to traditional criminal charges for violations of certain ordinance provisions.
The procedures are intended to be voluntary on the part of those who have been charged with
administrative offenses. At any time prior to the payment of the administrative penalty as is
provided for hereafter, the individual may withdraw from participation in the procedures in
which event the City may bring criminal charges in accordance with law. Likewise, the City, in
its discretion, may choose not to initiate an administrative offense and may bring criminal
charges in the first instance.
In the event a party participates in the administrative offense procedures but does not pay the
monetary penalty which may be imposed, the City will seek to collect the costs of the
administrative offense procedures as part of a subsequent criminal sentence in the event the party
is charged and is adjudicated guilty of the criminal violation.
(b) Administrative Offense Defined: An administrative offense is a violation of a
provision of this Code and is subject to the administrative penalties set forth in the schedule of
offenses and penalties referred to in subsection (h), hereafter
(c) Notice: Any person employed by the City, authorized in writing by the City
Manager, shall, upon determining that there has been a violation, notify the violator, or in the
case of a vehicular violation, attach to the vehicle a notice of the violation. Said notice shall set
forth the nature, date and time of violation, the name of the official issuing the notice and the
amount of the scheduled penalty.
(d) Payment: Once such notice is given, the alleged violator may, within seven (7)
days of the time of issuance of the notice, pay the amount set forth on the schedule of penalties
for the violation. The penalty may be paid in person or by mail and payment shall be deemed to
be an admission of the violation.
(e) Appeal: Any person who is required by the City to pay an administrative penalty
may make a written appeal of the penalty to the City Manager, or designee, within 7 days of
notice by the City of the penalty. The City Manager, or designee, will have authority to reduce
the fine or determine whether the appellant is to be charged with a penalty.
25
(f) Failure to Pay: In the event a party charged with an administrative offense fails
to pay the penalty, a misdemeanor or petty misdemeanor charge may be brought against the
alleged violator in accordance with applicable statutes.
(g) Disposition of Penalties: All penalties collected pursuant to this Section shall be
paid to the City and may be deposited in the City's general fund.
(h) Offenses and Penalties: Offenses which may be charged as administrative
offenses and the penalties for such offenses may be established by resolution of the City Council
from time to time.
(i) Subsequent Offenses: In the event a party is charged with a subsequent
administrative offense within a twelve (12) month period of paying a penalty for the same or
substantially similar offense, the subsequent administrative penalty shall be increased by $10
above the previous administrative penalty.

2. Approval of Minutes of October 3, 2001
Commissioner Gothberg moved approval of the minutes and the motion passed on a vote
of 5-0 with Commissioners Garelick, Gothberg, Morris, Robertson and Velick voting in

3. Hearings
A. Case Nos. 01-46-CUP and 01-50-VAR
Request of Xcel Energy for a Conditional Use Permit to permit the placement of
fill and a bufferyard variance for property located at 2201 Edgewood Avenue
South (Case 01-46-CUP continued from 9/19/01)
Mr. Smith presented a staff report.
Chair Velick noted that the public hearing for the conditional use permit was
continued from September 19. Chair Velick opened the public hearing for the
variance request.
Commissioner Robertson commented on the open design of the decorative fence,
which would enable rodents to pass through into the substation site.
Mr. Smith responded that the applicant has proposed the use of a very thin steel
material between the decorative fence elements.
Commissioner Garelick asked the height of the fence. He also asked about the
City’s experience with children and similar fencing.
30
Mr. Smith said the fence would be 7 to 8 feet high.
Ms. Erickson said an existing substation in the City is surrounded by a chain link
fence and she has not heard of any injuries related to the fence.
Greg Schneider, agent for Xcel Energy, responded that staff encouraged Xcel to
look at alternative fence designs. Typically the standard is a regular galvanized
chain link fence with small weave which deters any climbing of the fence. He
added that the chain link fence tends to blend better with the substation
equipment. Mr. Schneider said that expanded steel material would need to go
on the wrought iron fence and a squirrel shield would also have to be added.
Commissioner Garelick asked why a decorative fence has been encouraged rather
than a chain link fence.
Mr. Smith responded that staff believes the fence will be on site for 70 – 80 years
and typical chain link fences with barbed wire deteriorate much faster than a
wrought iron fence. It was also suggested for aesthetic reasons.
Commissioner Robertson said he had difficulty picturing the proposed fence. He
said that the primary issue is that the fence functions properly for Xcel. He went
on to say that he’s not sure if aesthetics would be improved given the additions
that need to be made to a wrought iron fence to make it functional. Commissioner
Robertson stated that perhaps a traditional fence would be a better choice as it
blends in with Xcel’s equipment. He suggested that the City should examine the
squirrel-proof design carefully before a decision is made.
Commissioner Morris said he favored a decorative fence and the south side being
squirrel-proof. He asked about the west and north being open to rodents.
Regarding the variance, Commissioner Morris commented that the proposed use
is not unique. He said vegetation should not be omitted because of the concern
about rodents and stated that he does not agree with that analysis.
Chair Velick asked about fencing at the City’s other substation. She asked also if
the other substation had any problems with rodents.
Mr. Schneider and Ms. Peterson, Xcel Engineering, said the other substation near
Highway 7 has a chain link fence.
Chair Velick asked about the other substation’s proximity to residential
properties.
Ms. Erickson replied that the substation is south of Highway 7, next to the north-
south CP rail line, and is bordered by an industrial use. Ms. Erickson said that
31
the substation is not immediately adjacent to residential property, except for the
Elmwood neighborhood across the railroad track.
Mr. Schneider and Ms. Peterson stated that they were not aware of any problems
with rodents at that substation.
Commissioner Gothberg stated that the standard for substations is a chain link
fence with barbed wire on top which is very effective in preventing rodent
problems. He said he supports the use of a chain link fence rather than an
ornamental fence. He said the existing and additional plantings would definitely
provide screening to the neighborhood. Commissioner Gothberg said he didn’t
see why plantings would be needed for the industrial neighbors.
Chair Velick agreed that the chain link fence might be more appropriate to secure
the substation, as long as it was screened appropriately with plantings.
Commissioner Morris commented that bufferyards in Industrial districts do soften
the impact for the various uses, including new uses such as daycare, teaching and
mixed uses. He said for purposes of the current zoning code, he is in favor of
retaining the bufferyard to the south of the Xcel property.
Chair Velick asked Commissioner Morris if in addition to retaining the bufferyard
he would also want to see plantings in that area.
Commissioner Morris replied that was correct.
Commissioner Gothberg asked if Xcel was required to have a planted bufferyard
on the south property line would the layout then have to be shifted to the north.
Mr. Schneider responded that Xcel would have to assess whether or not there was
adequate room along the south property line to do some plantings. He said the
adjoining land owner to the south is encouraged by Xcel’s plans and desires to
look at the two properties as one larger site. Mr. Schneider explained that the
land owner is considering doing some improvements on his property. Discussions
have been held regarding Xcel’s planting along the property line on Edgewood
Ave. to try to screen it from a residential use as opposed to buffering between the
two industrial properties. Mr. Schneider noted that those plantings weren’t added
up in the total landscaping preservation plan, so Xcel is above the planting
requirements. He added that Xcel wants to work with their neighbor as well, and
it will help the neighborhoods if Xcel can remain down in the corner.
Commissioner Morris responded that is encouraging, as bufferyards on adjoining
industrial property can be shared, creating a joint buffer between the uses.
32
Commissioner Robertson agreed that is a good potential solution, especially
looking at some lower shrubs nearer the fence. He said lower shrubs alone would
soften the line between the two properties.
Ms. Erickson remarked that a neighborhood meeting was held by Xcel. She
reported that most neighbors looked at the Xcel addition as helping the
neighborhood, as currently buses are parked in the lot to the south of the property.
The proposal would not only screen Xcel’s property but would also screen off the
buses from the neighborhood. Ms. Erickson said the neighborhood concern was
more about buses being visible than Xcel’s proposal. She added that Xcel’s
desire was to screen as much as possible from those residential uses.
Chair Velick asked if the changes that commissioners are suggesting would
prevent bus screening.
Ms. Erickson said she believed the bus company was required to do some
landscaping. She said as the site drops off from the street, the view is downward
onto the industrial use and the buses were in good view from the neighborhood
and the street. Xcel’s proposal would screen much of that, which pleased the
neighborhood.
Chair Velick asked if the Planning Commission could have a preliminary drawing
of the suggestions made before making a motion.
Commissioner Morris suggested that the Planning Commission vote on the
conditional use permit, and then discuss the variance request as a separate item.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Morris moved approval of the conditional use permit subject to
conditions and the motion passed on a vote of 5-0 with Commissioners Garelick,
Gothberg, Morris, Robertson and Velick voting in favor.
Commissioner Robertson suggested that the variance could be denied. The
applicant would then need to provide the bufferyard or bring the request to the
City Council. He added that the applicant does not seem to meet the seven
criteria necessary to grant a variance and, as a way to provide the bufferyard does
exist, the Commission is almost obligated to deny the variance.
Further discussion was held about procedure.
Commissioner Robertson moved that the variance be denied as it does not satisfy
all seven criteria.
Discussion was held about fence design. Chair Velick stated that the Commission
was in agreement that a chain link fence would be acceptable if screened properly.
33
Commissioner Morris said he was in favor of the decorative fence but he wanted
vegetation to be included.
Ms. Erickson suggested that the Commission make an amendment to the motion
regarding the conditional use permit, eliminating the need for a decorative fence.
Commissioner Gothberg said he’d like the Commission to go on record in support
of a bufferyard on the south if it can be worked out with the southern neighbor.
Commissioners noted their agreement. Commissioner Gothberg said that he
prefers no bufferyard landscaping to moving the layout to the north.
Commissioner Robertson stated that if something cannot be worked out with the
neighbor to the south, he suggests the applicant return to the City Council
requesting the variance.
The motion to deny the variance was approved 5-0 with Commissioners Garelick,
Gothberg, Morris, Robertson and Velick voting in favor of denial.
Mr. Smith and Ms. Erickson said condition No. 1 would have to be amended for
the motion regarding approval of the conditional use permit.
Commissioner Morris amended the motion approving the conditional use permit
by omitting portions of conditions No. 1 and No. 5 pertaining to the decorative
fence. The motion passed on a vote of 5-0 with Commissioners Garelick,
Gothberg, Morris, Robertson and Velick voting in favor of the amendment.

7. Miscellaneous
Commissioner Morris commented that as discussed last spring, he would like the
Planning Commission to review the Class I materials list, including materials the City has
approved on an experimental basis such as pre-formed concrete, hardy plank and stucco.
He stated that he thought some of the buildings currently being constructed with some of
these new materials aren’t very aesthetic looking. He referred to the new construction at
Louisiana Ave. and Highway 7 and the Fern Place project.
34
Commissioner Robertson asked Commissioner Morris if he would also like the
discussion to include color schemes and Commissioner Morris responded yes.
Commissioner Robertson said that this kind of discussion is a good idea as materials need
to be revisited regularly.
Chair Velick remarked that it might be a good idea to look at the plans for the Fern Place
project again.
Commissioner Garelick asked if there have been any neighborhood concerns regarding
construction traffic at on-going projects.
Ms. Erickson responded that she has not heard of any recent neighborhood concerns
regarding construction traffic.
Commissioner Robertson commented on the Open Forum format of the Planning
Commission of the City of Richfield. He explained that each meeting begins with a
forum where citizens are invited for a few minutes to bring any issues up to the Planning
Commission. He asked if the Planning Commission would be interested in including
this kind of format in its proceedings.
Commissioners discussed their interest in an Open Forum.
Ms. Erickson said that at the Planning Commission’s request, staff could research what
other communities are doing.
Commissioners agreed that they would like staff to pursue an Open Forum.
Commissioner Gothberg reported that a Community Land Trust Symposium will be held
on November 7, the same night as the next Planning Commission meeting. He asked if
City staff could attend the symposium and report back to the Planning Commission.
Ms. Erickson asked Commissioner Gothberg to provide her with information about the
symposium and she would look into having a staff member attend the symposium.
Chair Velick stated that staff needs to determine that a quorum will be present for the
November 21 Planning Commission meeting as a public hearing for recodification of the
Zoning Ordinance is scheduled on that date. Commissioner Garelick responded that he
would not be able to attend on November 21.
8. Adjournment
Chair Velick adjourned the meeting at 7:00 p.m.
