8. Resolutions and Ordinances
8a. Evaluation of Police and Fire Civil Service Commissions
Mr. Meyer, City Manager explained that the recommendation was to refer this issue to the
Charter Commission who would determine whether the continuance of the Police and Fire Civil
Service Commission was appropriate.
Councilmember Nelson stated that the Council recognized that the Statute had not been changed
with respect to the Fire Civil Service Commissions, but the Council would like the Charter
Commission to look at that anyway.
Councilmember Sanger asked if there was an expectation of when the Charter Commission
should provide a recommendation back to the Council.
It was the consensus of the Council to recommend that the Charter Commission gather the
information that they needed and bring it back to the Council within a reasonable time frame.
It was moved by Councilmember Brimeyer, seconded by Councilmember Young, to adopt the
resolution. The motion passed 7-0.
8b. Second Reading of the Ordinance Adopting a Stormwater Utility
Mr. Merkley, Public Works briefly commented on a few phone inquiries that he received the
issue since the approval of the First Reading of the proposed ordinance on February 7, 2000 and
recommended approval.
Darrel McIntosh, 2557 Xenwood Avenue South, was concerned about what was being proposed
for the Novartis location.
7
Mr. Rardin stated that this was not one of the problem areas that the City had identified during
the recent round of flooding, but that didn’t mean that it couldn’t be looked at in the future.
Ken Dubbe, 2550 Webster Avenue South, stated that he was not in favor of creating holding
ponds because they are a hazard for small children, breeding ground for mosquitoes, and habitat
for geese. He wanted area neighbors to have a voice in their location.
Mr. Rardin stated that the specific areas that are talked about in this proposal are not aimed at
creating water quality ponds since there was limited application in the City to develop them, but
rather short term holding areas that would be dry afterwards.
Mr. Meyer stated that if the City was proposing any kind of storm water retention area, the City
would involve the neighborhoods.
Doug Larson, 2837 Kentucky Avenue South, VP of Bronx Park Neighborhood Association,
stated that that the neighborhood had expressed concerns about how the City would use the fund
after the initial repairs of the sites were completed.
Mr. Rardin indicated that half of the remaining amount would go to pay off the bond and the
other half would be to manage the storm system and look at future water quality issues.
Mr. Larson asked how the public would be notified on what the money would be used for after
the initial plan was completed.
Councilmember Nelson stated that the long term goal was to have what we collect for the
stormwater utility equal to maintenance costs.
Mr. Meyer stated that this proposal came out of the stormwater management plan that took into
account all the issues that the City was aware of at the current time and noted that it was legal for
a City to take money out a utility fund and use it for general fund purposes.
Mr. Larson asked what the program was to determine whether or not a resident could receive a
grant from the grant program.
Mr. Merkley stated that the grant program was set up for public water and it would not pay for
private water that came exclusively from the homeowners property and that grants would be
recommended by the Public Works Director and approved by the City Council.
Mr. Larson noted some neighborhood examples with problem areas and questioned whether or
not this was going to be the process if a homeowner hasn’t done his own maintenance on his
property.
Councilmember Latz noted that the stormwater utility would provide for more accountability and
equity than in the past.
Councilmember Nelson believed that the utility was being established to charge appropriately the
cost to the people who are using the program and the City was not looking for a new source of
money.
8
Councilmember Sanger believed that the Council was voting for the creation of the utility and
not yet at the stage at saying that any one particular property was or was not to be included in the
grant program. She stated that at that point the Council would be relying on the staff for those
recommendations.
It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Santa, to adopt the
ordinance establishing a Stormwater Utility, approve the summary, and authorize publication of
the summary. The motion passed 7-0.
It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Santa, to adopt the
resolution establishing the single-two family residential lot shall be $6/quarter with charges for
other land uses to be determined through the use of a “Residential Equivalent Factor”. The
motion passed 7-0.
8c. Second Reading of the Ordinance Amending Sanitary Sewer Utility Rates
resulting from the Ordinance Adoption of the Stormwater Utility
It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to adopt the
ordinance, approve the summary, and authorize publication of the summary. The motion passed

City Council Agenda Item # 6a
Meeting of March 6, 2000
6a. CASE NO. 00-10-0M – Amendment to Official Map to extend West 16th Street
east of Park Place Boulevard
Amendment to Official Map designation to extend West 16th Street east of Park
Place Boulevard to municipal border in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Recommended
Action:
Mayor to close Public Hearing. Approve First Reading of
Ordinance Amendment amending the Official Map to extend
West 16th Street east of Park Place Boulevard to Municipal
Boundary in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and set
second reading for April 3, 2000.
Background:
On May 17, 1999, the City Council, at the recommendation of the Planning Commission,
adopted Comprehensive Plan 2000–2020 that designated an extension of West 16th Street east of
Park Place Boulevard to meet the south frontage road of I-394 at the Highway 100 underpass.
The map below shows the approximate location of the proposed Official Map amendment.
#
ProposedOfficialMap
11
State Statute requires the City to bring “official controls” into conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan within nine months of its effective date (September 1, 1999). The proposed
Official Map amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is intended to meet that
statutory requirement. The proposed Official Map amendment affects several properties, but
only one property owner who is aware of the proposal.
The Planning Commission reviewed the subject request on February 16, 2000, found the
proposed amendment to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, and recommended
approval.
What is an Official Map?
The Official Map is an “official control” authorized by State Statute and utilized by many cities
to preserve the right to secure private land for public purpose at some future date. The Municipal
Code states that the Planning Commission has responsibility to make recommendations to the
City Council regarding all Official Map amendments.
In order to be valid, the Official Map must be adopted by the City Council, and a legal
description describing, at a minimum, the proposed centerline and right of way width must be
filed with register of deeds at Hennepin County.
What Is The Public Purpose Of This Official Map Amendment?
Traffic congestion within the Blackstone Neighborhood is of concern. This area of St. Louis
Park is the subject of several development proposals and many traffic studies. Its ideal location
just southwest of the intersection of I-394 and Highway 100 will insure a continued development
interest into the future.
The Comprehensive Plan, recognizing this, designated an extension of West 16th Street to
connect Park Place Boulevard with the south frontage road of I-394 at the Highway 100
underpass. The purpose of this extension is to provide more direct access to the east, and to
serve as a reliever to I-394.
Currently, the municipal boundary stops before the designated connection at the Highway 100
underpass. This area is the subject of annexation discussions and negotiations that are expected
to result in gaining this land from Golden Valley. This Official Map amendment will only
designate that portion of the desired right of way within St. Louis Park. When the annexation
proceedings are complete, another Official Map amendment will be proposed.

Who owns the property?
All of the property that is subject to this Official Map proposal is under single ownership. The
property owner, Duke-Weeks Realty Corporation has been made aware of this action. On this
case, the public hearing is held at the City Council and the property owner received notice of this
public hearing at least 10 days prior to the meeting. Staff also met with the property owner to
discuss implications related to their future development plans.
What Rights Are Granted By the Official Map?
After an Official Map has been adopted and filed, the City has the authority to deny all
applications for building permits that expand an existing structure or establish new buildings or
structures within the area so identified. The Official Map does not grant any ownership rights to
the property, but does allow the City the right to purchase the land without paying compensation
for buildings or structures erected in such areas without a permit or in violation of the conditions
of a permit.
The Official Map shows intention by a municipality to acquire land or have it dedicated through
subdivision at some undetermined future date. It gives notice to the landowner of this intent.
Attachments: Proposed Ordinance amendment. (Please note, the legal description will
be verified by a registered surveyor prior to second reading of the
Ordinance.)

Meeting of March 6, 2000
6b. CASE NO. 00-11-OM - Text Amendments to Official Map
Amendment to Sections 14-405, 14-406, 14-408, and 14-409 of the municipal code
to allow staff to initiate amendments to the Official Map and to hold the public
hearings on said amendments at the Planning Commission.
Recommended
Action:
Mayor to close Public Hearing. Motion to approve First Reading
of Ordinance to amend sections 14-405, 14-406, 14-408, and 14-
409 of the Municipal Code related to the Official Map and set
second reading for March 20, 2000.
Background:
The Official Map is incorporated into Chapter 14 of the Municipal Code. Although it is separate
from Zoning, it is a planning tool that shows intent to procure privately held land for a future
public purpose. Like zoning, the Planning Commission has the responsibility to make
recommendations to the City Council regarding all amendments to the Official Map. In this
case, on February 16, 2000, the Planning Commission recommended approval to an Official Map
amendment that would change the process for Official Map amendments to be consistent with
other comprehensive planning and zoning processes. This includes allowing staff to initiate the
process and for the Planning Commission to hold the public hearing.
What is an Official Map?
The Official Map is an “official control” authorized by State Statute that grants to municipalities
a tool for securing private land for public purpose, such as streets or other public facilities.
Identification on an Official Map of land needed for future public uses permits both the public
and private property owners to adjust their future building plans equitably and conveniently
before costly investments are made. The Official Map designation does not grant to the City any
ownership rights to land, but it allows the municipality to identify needed land and defers
purchasing the land to some future date. The land designated on an Official Map could also be
dedicated to the City through subdivision requirements.
What is the process for Official Map amendments?
The City’s Ordinance Code defines how amendments are made to the Official Map. Currently,
the process defines who can initiate and who holds the public hearing. (See below).
16
Why should the process be changed?
Staff believes that the process for both amending the Official Map ordinance text and for
amending the Official Map map designations should be consistent with other amendment
processes related to comprehensive planning and zoning. The proposal is to modify the Official
Map text so that the Planning Commission holds the public hearings and staff has authority to
initiate amendments thereto.
What are the proposed text amendments?
The proposed amendments are included on the attached Ordinance.

Meeting of March 6, 2000
8b. CASE NO. 00-06-Z - Zoning Ordinance Map Amendments
Zoning Ordinance Map Amendments to change designations for the following
properties:
• SE Quadrant of Texas and South Frontage Road of I-394 from R3 to C1
• Parcel at 4320 West 36 ½ Street from C2 to R4
• Parcels SW of Bass Lake from R3 to RC
Recommended
Action:
Approve first reading of Zoning Ordinance Map amendments to
bring the Zoning Map into conformance the Comprehensive Plan
and set second reading for March 20, 2000.
Background:
On May 17, 1999, the City Council, at the recommendation of the Planning Commission,
adopted Comprehensive Plan 2000–2020 that changed land use designations for the subject
properties.
State Statute requires the City to bring “official controls” into conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan within nine months of its effective date (September 1, 1999). The proposed
Zoning Map amendments are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and are intended to meet
that statutory requirement. (Additional Zoning map amendments will be forthcoming in the next
couple months to address inconsistencies in other locations including properties within Park
Commons.)
There are no current development proposals for any of the subject properties included in the
proposed map amendments before the Council at this time.
Notification of the proposed changes were mailed to property owners within a 350-foot radius of
the proposed changes.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 16, 2000, reviewed the proposed
changes, found the proposed changes to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, and
recommended approval.
During the February 16th public hearing, the Planning Commission also considered a rezoning
for properties on the I-394 South Frontage Road north of 13th Lane. A developer interested in a
mixed-use project for this site asked the Planning Commission to defer this rezoning. A mixed-
23
use project would require both a Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning. The Planning
Commission did defer action for this area so the City Council will not be considering this
rezoning at this time.
Analysis and Proposed Map Changes:
SE Quadrant of Texas and South Frontage Road of I-394 and north of 13th Lane
The Comprehensive Plan designations are shown below.

Issues:
Will the proposed change cause non-conformities?

non-conforming. The uses on these properties are commercial and office in nature and the
zoning is R3-Two Family Residential. The proposed changes would make the current uses

Proposed Zoning
The subject property is owned by the City and is considered to be a part of the Park Commons
redevelopment area. The site is currently developed as tennis courts and a parking lot. The City
has developed a concept townhouse plan for the property that also incorporates the tennis court
use. The rezoning of this property is considered a step forward in the implementation of the
future townhouse concept plan.

City Council Agenda Item # 8c
Meeting of March 6, 2000
8c. CASE NO. 00-07-ZA - Zoning Ordinance Amendments
Zoning Ordinance Amendment to modify Section 14:7-2.C to prohibit any
subdivision or administrative reduction of the size of land containing a non-
conforming land use.
Recommended
Action:
Approve first reading of Zoning Ordinance amendment
modifying Section 14:7-2C and set second reading for March 20,
2000.
Background:
On January 3, 2000, the City Council reviewed a Comprehensive Plan amendment modifying a
provision that required the removal of the billboard located in the northwest quadrant of
Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue when the Mill City Plywood site redeveloped. The
amendment modified the provision so that the existing billboard will only require removal when
the parcel containing the billboard is redeveloped. Although the Council adopted the
amendment, it raised a concern that in the future, provisions that require new development to
conform to all provisions of the Code could be circumvented by splitting off as a separate parcel
the area of a lot containing a non-conforming land use, such as a billboard. The Council
requested staff to bring back an ordinance amendment to prevent the subdivision of properties
containing non-conforming uses.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendment on February 16,
2000, and recommended approval of the proposal.
Current Ordinance:
The Zoning Ordinance currently prohibits the intensification of any non-conforming land use.
Although the ordinance does not specifically state it, it could well be interpreted to already
prohibit any subdivision or other action that would decrease the size of a parcel upon which a
non-conforming land use is located. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend clarifying
the language per the attached Ordinance.

City Council Agenda Item #8d
Meeting of March 6, 2000
8d. Establish Approval Process for Ownership Transfer of Cable Television Franchise
- Time Warner/America Online
The City’s franchise ordinance allows for the City to establish a public hearing process
to determine if the sale or transfer may adversely affect the company’s subscribers.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to set a public hearing to consider the transfer of
ownership.
Background:
On February 10, 2000, Time Warner notified the City of the transfer of ownership to America
Online by delivering Federal Communication Commission Form 394 describing details of the
transfer of ownership and its effects on St. Louis Park’s local cable television franchise.
By March 10th the City must act on one of the following options:
• Notify Time Warner that information contained in Form 394 is inaccurate or incomplete; or
• Adopt the attached sample resolution, provided by Time Warner, consenting to the change in
control of the franchise; or
• Notify Time Warner that the City is establishing a public hearing process as provided for in
the current franchise agreement and the City Home Rule Charter. The City has 120 days to
conduct that process.
At the Council study session of February 14th, Council requested the City Attorney to represent
the City’s interests in the matter of transfer of ownership. On February 17th FCC Form 394 was
submitted to the City Attorney for review.
Recommendation:
Due to the complexity of the transfer documents, the City Attorney has not yet completed a full
review or prepared a report to the City. Therefore, it is recommended that Council establish a
public hearing process to allow time for sufficient review by the Attorney and staff, and to gather
input from the public and the Telecommunications Advisory Commission.

Redevelopment project.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to authorize execution of the Livable Communities
Demonstration Account (LCDA) Grant Agreement by the Mayor
and City Manager.
Background:
On October 4, 1999, the City Council approved a resolution to submit an LCDA application to

1999 the Metropolitan Council awarded the City of St. Louis Park, a grant of $1,000,000 for the
Louisiana Court project.
The project will demonstrate the transformation of Louisiana Court into a lively desirable stable
rental neighborhood serving many ages, incomes and family types and will be developed by
Project for Pride in Living. Use of the LCDA grant funds will include: $400,000 for site
improvements, $30,000 to construct a school bus shelter and two metro transit bus shelters,
$240,000 for acquisition and renovation of buildings, and $330,000 for debt service reserve to
alleviate the City’s risk of issuing general obligation bonds.

Meeting of March 6, 2000
*11b. 2000 Dutch Elm Disease Tree Removal Bids
The City annually solicits bids for the removal and disposal of American Elm trees
which are infected with Dutch Elm Disease (DED). By securing a price through
the competitive bidding process, the City can offer residents a guaranteed rate for
the removal of diseased trees on private property. This also ensures that the City
meets the statutory requirements for the solicitation of bids for the removal of
diseased trees on public property.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to designate Emery’s Tree Service, Inc. as the lowest
responsible bidder, and authorize execution of a contract for the
2000 Dutch Elm Disease Tree Removal Program in an amount
not to exceed $70,820.00.
Background: The City has been partially subsidizing the removal of diseased trees on private
property for more than 20 years. During the initial phases, funding was provided through the
Community Development Block Grant Program and subsidies were established at a 50% level.
When CDBG guidelines were altered (approximately 12 years ago) the removal of diseased trees
was no longer fundable. As a result, the City’s subsidy program was stepped back over the
course of five years until it reached the current level (no cash subsidy) at the end of 1995.
The City’s role in this process is to handle all paperwork (including official notices), bill the
homeowners, establish a timely schedule for the removals and provide a follow-up inspection.
As in previous years, an updated brochure explaining the City’s removal program has been
prepared and will be distributed to all affected property owners at the time their diseased trees
are identified by staff.
The 2000 DED bids reflect projected costs for the removal of 205 average-size private trees and
10 selected public trees which cannot be removed by City crews. The entire cost for private tree
removals will be reimbursed by property owners.
The approved bid prices will also be used to calculate costs in cases where property owners
refuse to comply with the official removal notice. In all other cases, homeowners will still be
allowed to solicit their own private bids and may choose to have the work performed by a
different licensed contractor at their expense.
Bid Analysis: Bid packages for the 2000 DED Tree Removal contract were mailed out in early
February to twelve tree firms. Bids were opened on February 25, 2000 at City Hall. Three bids
were subsequently received in the amounts as follows:
57
Emery’s Tree Service, Inc. $ 70,820.00
Asplundh Tree Expert Co., Inc. $ 75,441.00
Miller Tree & Landscaping, Inc. $ 90,840.00
The City’s bid is extremely competitive and Emery’s Tree Service, Inc. has conscientiously and
successfully performed five of the City’s diseased tree removal contracts, including the 1999
contract.
