license application.
6
Mr. Scott, City Attorney stated there were no guidelines in the Statute and that the City had little
discretion in denying the license. He mentioned that zoning compliance and identifiable public
safety issues would be the two items that would be the basis for the City to deny this type of
license application.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the police department has checked for any criminal activity or
disruptive behavior at other locations where this company has check cashing facilities.
Ms. Larsen stated that the police department believed that this was the kind of business that
serves a need in the community and they couldn’t identify any public risks. She stated that the
State does conduct a background investigation and the company has met all the State
requirements.

Councilmember Sanger asked if there was any way legally that the City could bring the two
apartment buildings that are not a part of the PUD into the PUD if they are sold in the future.

approving a Final PUD and an Amendment to the approved Preliminary PUD for Louisiana
Court apartments, subject to conditions in the resolution . The motion passed 6-0-1.
Councilmember Young opposed.
8c. City Engineer’s Report: Proposed Improvements to Reduce Traffic
Congestion and Accidents on Louisiana Avenue between the Burlington
Northern Railroad Bridge and Minnetonka Boulevard.
Project No. 00-13.
Carlton Moore, Superintendent of Engineering, presented a staff report and recommended that
the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving Alternative No. 2 which provides for a
three (3) land section from just south of W. 28th Street to W. 27th Street. This alternative,
combined with traffic signal interconnect and traffic signal improvements for left turn
movements will provide for an increased level of service and greater potential for accident
reduction..
James Mott, 2812 Louisiana Avenue South, stated that he was concerned about how Alternative
2 directly impacted the parking in front of his home, how he enters and exits his driveway, and
moves the traffic closer to his front door. He believed the City was moving too quickly on a
solution for the traffic congestion in the area. He stated that he has taken personal time to
evaluate the traffic on 28th and Louisiana. He was concerned about the accuracy of the traffic
study completed by WSB and the decision for the left turn light at 28th Street and the shift of the
traffic to the West. He suggested putting a no left turn during peak hours at 28th Street and have
no parking during peak hours. He believed that Louisiana Avenue was being used as an
alternative route while the Highway 100 construction was being completed and suggested re-
evaluating the area in the fall.
8
Councilmember Sanger stated there has been numerous discussion and there has not been any
one perfect solution that would meet everyone needs, ideals and preferences. She believed that
Alternative No. 2 was the best balancing act between trying to make traffic work somewhat
smoother and deal with some of the parking issues.
Councilmember Santa stated that Alternative No. 2 provided an increased level of service and
the most safety for the neighborhood.
Councilmember Latz stated from further investigation of use of available parking spaces it was
concluded that those who feel the need to park on the street will still have adequate parking
available to them.
Martha Purcell, 2821 Louisiana Avenue South, stated that she wasn’t having a problem with
traffic congestion and didn’t believed there were a high number of accidents. She believed that
Alternative 2a was the alternative that solved the most problems.
Dawn Crilly, 2801 Louisiana Avenue South, was concerned about safety and the removal of
parking.
Pat Westrum, 2741 Louisiana Avenue South, stated that she was confused about who the City
was doing this for, the residents or the people who are commuting through the area. She
expressed her concerned about the removal of parking and the accuracy of the WSB Report. She
believed that that Alternative No. 2 was going to create more traffic by opening the roadway up.
Lloyd Pratt, 2854 Louisiana Avenue South, stated that he was concerned about the lack of a
buffer from property lines to the street.
Teri Pantzke, 2841 Louisiana Avenue South, believed that the City was moving too fast and
suggested trying improvements for left turn movements first before removing parking.
Mr. Moore, Superintendent of Engineering, stated that this area was three times the State average
for number and severity of the accidents primarily because of the left turn movements, so getting
the left turn movements into their isolated left turn lanes and getting the through traffic in their
own lane and providing the protected movements was the primary factor to increase the level of
service on these intersections.
Mayor Jacobs stated that there was probably various alternatives on this issue, but there wouldn’t
be a perfect solution for everybody and this issue would have to be revisited in the future.
Councilmember Nelson commented that this was only half of a solution and agreed that this
issue would have to be discussed again in the Spring to see if this alternative was affective and
determine a solution for the rest the problem.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Young, to adopt the
attached resolution approving Alternate No. 2 combined with traffic signal interconnects and
traffic signal improvements for left turn movements, accepting this report, establishing Project
No. 00-13, ordering Project No. 00-13, approving plans and specifications, and authorizing
receipt of bids. The motion passed 7-0.

(in order to expedite the meeting, item 8e was addressed prior to item 8e)
8e. Resolution Adopting a Sanitary Sewer Service Line Backwater Valve Pilot
Program
Mr. Rardin, Public Works, presented a staff report and briefly explained the Sanitary Sewer
Service Line Backwater Valve Pilot Program. He stated that the City will participate in the costs
associated with furnishing and installing backwater valves on service lines at the ten (10)
identified locations and that participation is limited to 75% of the valve purchase and basic
installation costs, up to a maximum amount of $2,000 per residence.
Councilmember Nelson reviewed the discussion that took place at the April 24, 2000 City
Council Study Session and recalled that the compromise reached was two-thirds percentage and
was more than just the participation percentage, but whether or not all ten (10) identified
locations were a priority.
Councilmember Sanger stated that it might sense to make it 75% participation to in essence,
reward someone who has managed to do this in a more cost effective basis.
Richard Goodkind, 4123 Sunset Boulevard, provided Council some photos of his property
damage and a bill from Peterson Valve Company for the valve and explained his experience on
February 19, 2000 with a sanitary sewer backup that damaged his property and caused him
emotional hardship.
Max Stonaff, 4200 Sunset Boulevard, stated that he wasn’t convinced that the addition of a
second independent alarm system to lift station No. 19 will solve the problem. He was
concerned about the waiver. He believed this was a band-aid solution and there was a need for a
redundant pump station to take care of the overflow when this particular lift station is over
capacity. He believed that he didn’t have a choice because if he doesn’t install the valve he
would end up with the overflow if the lift station malfunctions again. He commented on the
truth in sales policy in St. Louis Park that will require these residents to inform future buyers of
the problem. He recommended that the City cover the entire cost of the valves for all the
affected homeowners.
Councilmember Sanger noted that this was a Pilot Program. She agreed with looking at the
question of it the City needs another lift station, but in the interim this was a good solution and a
time to collect data for future consideration. She confirmed with staff that if these ten homes did
install the valve, that adjacent homes would not be affected because of the location of the sewer
system.
Valerie Krebs, 4201 Sunset Boulevard, explained her experience on February 19, 2000 with a
sanitary sewer backup that damaged her property and caused her emotional hardship and concern
for the health and safety of her family. She believed that the City should cover the cost of the
valves and work on developing a more permanent solution to the problem.
Bruce Peterson, Peterson Valve Company, explained the service line backwater valve he
developed to prevent future sewer backups and commented on the successful program developed
and implemented in Forest Lake.
10
The Council consulted Mr. Scott, City Attorney and he recommended that the City not insist on
the requirement for the waiver.
It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Young, to adopt the
attached resolution approving the “Sanitary Sewer Service Line Backwater Valve Pilot Program”
and that participation was limited to two-thirds of the valve purchase and basic installation costs,
up to a maximum amount of $2,000 per residence. Councilmember Nelson then left the council
chambers. Motion passed 6-0.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Latz, to remove the
waiver of liability requirement from the resolution. The motion passed 6-0.

Nelson Park - Project no. 00-06: Flood Area No. 12 - Improvements at 2916

All members of the Housing Authority were present and introductions were made. Chair Bill
Gavzy thanked the Council for appointing them as board members and for the chance to serve on
the board. Bridget Gothberg reported on the accomplishments of the board and stated that in
addition to their core functions, they are focusing on the Vision St. Louis Park outcomes and
gave examples of programs they work on such as the TRAILS program and Meadowbrook
Collaborative. Chair Gavzy commended the staff on receiving an excellent rating from the
federal government. He added that the Housing Authority needs to be certified annually.
Catherine Courtney reported that the new and larger projects are going well such as the home
renewal program and the Louisiana Court redevelopment.
Councilmember Latz asked if Home Renewal projects where inspiring surrounding neighbors to
make improvements in their homes as well. Ms. Schnitker replied that she would check permit
activity in the neighborhoods to determine if more improvements had been done.
Chair Gavzy felt that the diverse members of the board helped to improve projects. He stated the
action plan is being developed for 2000 and requested direction from Council on the bigger
issues. The Holman units will be looked at and the board would like direction from Council on
how much affordable housing should be provided. The future direction of housing will be
discussed to consider whether the housing trends show the need for multi-family, pedestrian
friendly, and mixed-use housing. He stated that multi-family housing is aging and the Housing
Authority could consider ways to improve it. Mr. Harmening said staff could conduct an
analysis of how the ratio of affordable housing has changed in relation to incomes. Council
indicated that move-up housing in an important need.
Councilmember Latz questioned the reasons behind several lease terminations in the public
housing buildings and Ms. Anderson responded that some problems had occurred where they
deemed that action appropriate. Councilmember Latz expressed his thanks for the enforcement
of lease requirements related to behavior of tenants.
14
Mr. Meyer thanked the Housing Authority and staff for their quality contributions.
2. Park Commons Update
Alan Bloom and Clinton Miller of Grubb & Ellis were present at the meeting.
Mr. Harmening reported that Avalon Bay had withdrawn from the project and that a press release
had been issued on May 5. In light of that development, identified short-term goals will be to
select a new developer and continue momentum and progress on the project such as commercial
tenant leasing and property acquisition. He stated that the next steps would include creating a
short list of potential developers, utilizing Grubb & Ellis in tenant development and general
project assistance, and continuation of property acquisition. Mr. Harmening stated that the
developer selection process should be completed no later than August 1, 2000.
Mr. Harmening informed the council that the Minikahda Vista neighborhood had asked him to
pass along their request that councilmembers reconsider the scope of the Park Commons East
project to lower the density and intensity of the development. He added that staff recommends
that the city stay the course and continue with the project as planned.
Mr. Bloom stated that even though Avalon Bay’s withdrawal from the project was unfortunate,
he also felt that this particular turn of events could be considered an opportunity. He reported
that Grubb & Ellis has met with developers and that retailers are very enthusiastic.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the developer chosen for the project would specialize in
commercial business or housing. Mr. Harmening replied that many interested developers are
taking a team approach where developers that specialize in certain areas would collaborate
together to provide the broad spectrum of expertise needed for a successful develoment. Mr.
Bloom stated that the project holds strong appeal to developers. Councilmember Brimeyer was
concerned about creating too much office space as had been done years ago in many commercial
developments. Mr. Bloom replied that extensive market research has been done and that the
targeted markets for this mixed use development are very strong.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the council needed to respond to the concerns expressed by
residents of the Minnekahda Vista neighborhood. Councilmember Latz stated that he felt the
City had taken great care to hear resident concerns and that despite those concerns the minds of
the Council had not been changed.
Councilmembers directed staff to continue to move forward with the project as currently
conceived and to begin their search for a developer. Mr. Harmening replied that staff will return
with a short list of possible developers in the very near future.
3. Louisiana Avenue Congestion
Mr. Moore distributed handouts to the Council and described the alternatives available.
Mayor Jacobs felt they needed to focus on the end result of this project and let the consultants
develop the plans. Councilmember Latz felt that all alternatives presented retained adequate
15
parking to accommodate the existing need. Councilmember Sanger felt that alternatives 1, 2,
and 2a would be feasible.
The Council discussed the neighborhood need for parking on both the east and west side of
Louisiana Avenue.
Mr. Rardin stated that weighing the neighborhood needs is very important and staff will be able
to produce sound plans if the Council is clear on what the priorities are. Council then went into
discussion on priorities and options. Council felt that option 2a may be the most appropriate as it
will allow parking on both sides of the street. They discussed synchronizing traffic lights and
lead lag. Council then discussed option 2 and agreed that it would be the alternative they would
pursue.
Councilmember Latz would like a follow up report considering options for the 2900 block of
Louisiana Ave.
4. Sidewalks and Trails
Mr. Rardin stated that the purpose of the discussion was to update Council and receive input
from Council on the proposed six-year plan.
Mr. Rardin replied that public notice will be occurring soon and materials will be made available
at several sites. Staff and Council discussed the notification process and felt that the Park
Perspective, direct mail and communication with the neighborhoods should all be used as means
of notification. Council discussed the timing of events to accommodate and receive public input
at the meetings. Mr. Rardin stated that guiding principles and issues will be brought to Council
at the May 22 study session along with costs and maintenance of the project. Mr. Rardin stated
that a two-page mailing will be mailed to all affected properties, and in addition a letter will be
published in the Park Perspective.
Mr. Rardin stated that the phasing of the project would be incorporated into the Capital
Improvement Plan. He reported that staff had divided the City into six sections and will adopt a
six-year plan. Each year one section will be addressed beginning with the ones in most critical
need. Staff will send Council a map that identifies the needs in each of the sections.

excellence in financial reporting. Mr. Mol stated that future changes will affect the reporting
requirements for municipalities.
6. 2001 Budget Update
16
Ms. McGann briefly updated the Council on the progress of the budget process. She stated that
the 1999 financial statements indicate that there is an excess of money in the general fund and
Council may allocate the money to any number of uses or programs.
Councilmember Sanger had questions regarding replacement funds. The Council discussed the
benefit of funding computer systems, park improvements and the municipal building fund.
Ms. McGann would like to see the budget process stress clarity and present relevant information
in an easy to understand format. Ms. McGann stated that the timeline for the budget process will
be realigned to allow additional time for staff to analyze programs and services. Departments
will meet to discuss any proposed program changes and preliminary budgets should be submitted
by the middle of June. A preliminary budget presentation will be brought to Council in July and
a balance budget presentation in August.
Ms. McGann reported that narratives were a large part of the budget in past years and would like
to see them somehow reorganized to present information in a clearer format.. She asked for
Council’s opinion on the narratives.
Council and staff then briefly discussed levy limits and the effects on the budget, employee
benefit fund and police/fire pension funds.

building on one property, and a street vacation of a portion of West 24th Street that is bounded by
their property. The property is located south of Cedar Lake Road and directly west of Highway
100. No physical changes or additions are proposed to the property at this time.
On May 3, 2000 the Planning Commission held public hearings on these requests, and no one
spoke. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the requests 5-0.
Issues:
• Are the requirements met for preliminary and final plat?
• Are the requirements met for a Special Permit Amendment?
• Is the street vacation appropriate?
• Are there any other issues?
18
Issues Analysis:
Are the requirements met for preliminary and final plat?
Novartis is proposing to replat the property from seven individual lots, some of which traverse
buildings, into one approximately 25 acre lot.
Preliminary and final plat documents: The preliminary and final plat document have been
reviewed by the appropriate City departments, the City attorney, and utility companies.
Minnegasco has requested that a utility easement be retained over the north half of the portion of
24th Street that is to be vacated, which the Public Works Department is also requiring. Staff
finds the plat documents are acceptable.
Grading, utility, other development plans: Because no physical changes or expansions are
proposed at this time, the applicant was not required to submit grading, utility or other
development plans. Existing conditions are shown on the preliminary plat.
Development agreement: Staff is recommending that no development agreement be required in
this case because the property is not being further developed.
Are the requirements met for a Special Permit Amendment?
Because the property is being replatted into one lot and there are two buildings on the site, a
Conditional Use Permit is required for more than one building on one lot. The CUP is processed
as a Special Permit Amendment in this case because of the existing Special Permit.
The conditions of the existing Special Permit must continue to be met: The conditions continue
to be met. This Special Permit was recently amended on February 7, 2000 to allow a small
boiler room addition on the north side of the main building. Construction on this addition is in
progress.
Nonconformities on the site are to be reduced or eliminated to the extent reasonable and possible
(with some exceptions for certain nonconformities such as building setbacks):
Lot lines crossing buildings: This nonconformity would be removed with the replatting of the
parcel.
Lack of parking: Once allowable reductions are taken for access to transit, the current use
requires 476 parking stalls, whereas 247 are provided. Novartis has stated, and staff has
confirmed through periodic site visits, that the amount of parking provided exceeds the actual
needs of the facility. Staff is therefore not recommending any increases to parking.
Exterior materials/building wall deviation on north wall and landscape bufferyard on north side:
The north building wall is nonconforming with the City’s architectural standards, and the
bufferyard requirements are not met in this area. In reviewing the recent building addition and
Special Permit Amendment, staff had explored the possibility of requiring additional landscaping
19
in this area to screen the wall from public right of way and adjacent property. However, this is
not feasible due to lack of space and poor planting soils. In addition, a temporary construction
easement has been granted to the City in this area for trail construction on the adjacent railroad
right of way. For these reasons and because no physical changes are proposed to the property,
staff is not recommending that these nonconformities be corrected.
Building setbacks: Building setbacks from property lines are not met in some areas. Setback
nonconformities are not required to be corrected under Special Permit amendments.
Other Zoning Ordinance requirements: With the exceptions noted above, all other Zoning
Ordinance requirements are met.
Is the street vacation appropriate?
Novartis is requesting vacation of the portion of West 24th Street lying west of Utica Avenue
which is bounded on both sides by their property. The street vacation is requested to give
Novartis more flexibility in utilizing their property, and future improvements could include
additional fencing or truck parking areas on the eastern portion of the property. Public Works
has reviewed the street vacation request, and finds no public purpose to retain the public right of
way, provided that easements are retained over the property for existing public and private
utilities. Staff is therefore recommending a condition that the street vacation be conditioned
upon final plat approval, as the final plat dedicates a drainage and utility easement over that
property.
Are there any other issues?
At previous public hearings, nearby residents were concerned that Novartis could expand their
operations to the western portion of their property, which currently contain many trees, wetlands,
and property within the 100-year floodplain. Any expansion would require a Special Permit
Amendment at a minimum, whereby neighbors would be notified and a public hearing held. In
addition, Novartis would have to meet all City and other agencies’ requirements regarding tree
replacement, and development of floodplain and/or wetlands.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat, Special Permit Amendment,
and street vacation of a portion of W. 24th Street, subject to the conditions in the
resolutions/ordinance.

City Council Agenda Item # 8b
Meeting of June 5, 2000
8b. CASE NO. 00-17-ZA - Zoning Ordinance Amendments proposed by Joshua E.
Aaron of Park Land Company
First reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment to modify Section 14:5-6.Z.E.1(d)
to amend the Office District regulations pertaining to residential uses to allow
upper stories of a building to be 100% residential.
Recommended
Action:
Approve first reading of Zoning Ordinance text amendment to
Section 14:5-6.2.E.1, and set second reading for June 19, 2000.
Background:
On May 3, 2000, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously
recommended approval of a Zoning Ordinance text amendment requested Joshua E. Aaron of
Park Land Company. The essence of the request was to modify the text that allows residential
uses by PUD in the Office District. The Ordinance currently allows residential uses with
densities up to 50 units per acre provided that the residential use does not occupy more than 25%
of the gross floor area of the total development. The proposed modification would limit
residential development to 25% of the ground floor, but would allow 100% of the upper stories
to be residential. The Planning Commission also recommended approval of other refinements of
the text proposed by staff.
Mr. Aaron’s is interested in developing the old Cooper Theater site with a mixed-use
development that includes a multiple story building with office on the lower two stories and
residential on the upper stories. He is making a specific proposal to modify 14:5-6.Z.E.1(d) as
follows:
d. Housing cannot represent more than 25% of the gross ground floor area of total
development.
All additional proposed changes are reflected below and in the attached Ordinance.
Analysis:
Is the proposed change in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan?
Chapter C of the Comprehensive Plan describes the purpose of the Office land use designation as
follows:
28
“The office designation currently applies to 3% of the City’s land area. It includes the Shelard
Park area north of I-394 and west of Highway 169, the office developments southwest of the I-
394/Highway 100 interchange, and the Park Nicollet medical complex on Excelsior Boulevard.
Other smaller areas are also designated for office. The corresponding zoning for the land use
designation is O-Office or RC-Residential/Commercial. This category allows for concentrated
areas of fairly intensive office and mixed use development, with high floor area ratios and
building heights in the O District. The O District also allows other limited uses such as hotels,
parking ramps, residential, day care, retail and restaurants when part of the larger development.”
Staff feels the proposal is consistent with the above description. It is also consistent with other
goals within the Plan that project residential growth within the general areas of St. Louis Park
where Office use is designated.
Does the proposed change reflect current Livable Communities Principles?
Chapter R of the Comprehensive Plan promotes both high density and a mixture of uses within
the same building. This chapter recognizes the need to reduce automobile traffic and suggests
that high density, mixed-use buildings can to some degree accomplish this. Higher residential
densities can support transit and encourage local retail and service uses in close proximity.
The proposed amendment is consistent with Chapter R of the Comprehensive Plan.
Is the proposed change reflective of how residential uses are permitted in other commercial
districts?
Since 1992 when the current Zoning Ordinance was originally adopted, staff has explored ways
to promote residential development as part of mixed-use buildings in several zoning districts.
The C1 and C2 Districts now allow residential uses above the ground floor. The MX district also
was developed to require a mixture of uses. These Ordinance amendments require that
commercial uses are located on the ground floor, but that upper stories can be up to 100%
residential. The language in the Office District does not presently reflect this thinking. Staff
would therefore propose, in addition to the amendment proposed by Mr. Aaron, other Ordinance
changes to the Office District that are reflective of the requirements of other commercial districts
and retain the lower floors of buildings as primarily office/commercial uses.
1. MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLINGS AND CLUSTER HOUSING provided that:
a. The housing is part of a larger development permitted within the district.
b. The building design and placement provide a desirable residential environment.
c. Access to open space, plazas, and pedestrian ways is provided.
d. Housing related uses cannot do not represent more than 25% of the gross first
story floor area or 25% of the second story of total the development.
e. A minimum of 400 square feet of usable open space is provided per dwelling unit
and no more than ½ is located in the front yard.
29
f. All dwelling units are at or above the grade of all land within a distance of 25 feet from
all faces of the building. No dwelling units are located below the second story of the
building. All housing related uses on the first story shall be limited to common areas and
rental offices.
g. The minimum spacing between buildings in a multi-building project is at least
equal to the average heights of the buildings except where dwellings share
common walls.
h. All buildings are located a minimum of 15 feet from the back of the curb line of
internal private roadways or parking lots.
i. The density does not exceed the maximum density allowed in the “R-C” Use
District 50 units per acre. The maximum density may be increased by up to 50%
at the sole discretion of the City Council if two or more of the following are
provided:
i. At least 80% of the required parking is provided in underground or above-ground
structures, including all levels of parking ramps.
ii. Buildings are placed at or near the street right-of-way and off-street
parking is screened from the public right-of-way by buildings.
iii. At least 35% of the building ground coverage contains structures of six or
more stories in height, thereby conserving open space within the
development site.
The above changes will prohibit totally residential buildings within the “O” District, but will
allow residential uses to occupy up to 100% of the upper stories of buildings. This change
reserves the majority of the lower two stories to be consistent with the commercial nature of the
office district while upper stories may contain residential uses. The overall result is to provide
housing in close proximity to jobs, thereby promoting the ability of people to walk to work.
This is consistent with how residential uses are permitted within the C1, C2, and MX Zoning
Districts
The proposed changes are consistent with the applicants future development plans and he does
not object to them.

City Council Agenda Item # 8c
Meeting of June 5, 2000
8c. CASE NO. 00-22-Z - Zoning Ordinance Map Amendments For
Comprehensive Plan Consistency
Public Hearing for Zoning Ordinance Map Amendments to change designations for
the following properties:
• Properties on the SW Quadrant of Wooddale and Highway 7
• City property east of CP Rail line south of Cedar Lake Road
Recommended
Action:
Approve first reading of Zoning Ordinance Map Amendments
for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and set second
reading for June 19, 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. (These changes will conclude all Zoning map amendments except for
changes associated with Park Commons and several properties in the Blackstone Neighborhood
south of Cedar Lake Road. A discussion about these specific properties has been scheduled for a
Study Session in June.)
The proposed change to City owned property east of the railroad is to rezone the parcel as
industrial consistent with the current land use. Staff has seen a conceptual scheme to redevelop
the property on the southwest quadrant of Wooddale and Highway 7 as a multi-story
commercial/office building. No formal application has been received.
The Planning Commission reviewed these proposed changes on May 3,2000, and recommended
approval of the changes. Notification of the proposed changes were mailed to property owners
within a 350-foot radius of the proposed changes.

Why was the property reguided to CMX-Civic Mixed Use?
The decision to reguide this property to CMX was based on a number of factors including
changes in circulator transit routes, future additions to the sidewalk/trail system, a possible future
dedicated bus way, and an existing regional trail.
The above map shows the location of several transportation features relative to the subject
property. The subject property has been identified as an ideal site for a future transit station.
The reguiding of the property to Civic Mixed-Use was intended to accommodate this possibility.
Will the proposed change cause non-conformities?
Currently the land use on at least two of the properties located just southwest of Wooddale
Avenue and Highway 7 are non-conforming. The current IG – General Industrial zoning allows
a variety of industrial uses, and retail is allowed only as an accessory use. Under an MX zoning,
all current uses would be non-conforming. A redevelopment of the properties would require
multi-story and mixed use buildings. The current Comprehensive Plan designation would also
require that a future redevelopment accommodate a bus turnaround or other civic use.
Would a mixed-use proposal be a viable land use on the property?

Staff has reviewed a concept plan for the property brought forward by the owner of the property
which consisted of a multi-story mixed-use building. The concept proposal included first floor
retail and upper floor office uses. The configuration of the building and parking could
conceivably accommodate an area where a small bus could circulate and layover.

The subject property at 2501 Edgewood Avenue South is currently used by the City to process
yard waste and branches and temporarily store materials needed to maintain and repair City
utilities. The Comprehensive Plan 2000 – 2020 changed the Comprehensive Plan Designation
from R11-Residential 11 Units Per Acre to Industrial. The intent was to rezone the property
from R3-Two-Family Residential to IG – General Industrial to accommodate the current use of

REPORT ITEM # 7
May 8, 2000
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Charles W. Meyer, City Manager
FROM: Jean D. McGann, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Investment Policy Revisions
Background:
On May 19, 1986, The City Council adopted the current investment policy. Due to the length of
time that has passed and new regulations that have been mandated, a new investment policy has
been drafted.
The investment policy adopted in 1986 addresses cash management and policies and procedures
for investments. The proposed investment policy addresses only the investment practices to be
done by the City. A separate procedure guideline will be implemented at the staff level.
Analysis of Current and Revised Investment Policies:
The scope and objective of both policies are similar in nature. Both policies address the primary
objectives of safety, liquidity and yield.
♦ The proposed investment policy authorizes the Director of Finance/Treasurer to designate
depositories and broker-dealers for the City. The current policy indicates specific institutions
for investment.
♦ Requirements for authorized financial dealers and institutions are outlined in the new policy.
No requirements are indicated in the current policy
♦ Additional reporting requirements are required within the proposed policy. The additional
reports require a market to market analysis and rate of return calculation.
♦ Interest earnings allocations have been modified in the proposed policy. The current policy
indicates the interest is to be distributed based on annual interest earnings rate compared with
each fund’s average cash balance. Any interest earnings in excess of budgeted amounts are
allocated to the General Fund. This calculation of interest earnings is not currently being
44
followed. Due to arbitrage regulations, the City is required to average each month’s ending
cash balance. There is no additional amount being allocated to the General Fund. The
proposed policy requires interest to be allocated based on average monthly cash balances
with a 3% administrative fee paid to the General Fund prior to other allocations. The 3%
would be an approximate $21,000 per year. This 3% allocation would exclude any interest
earnings on funds associated with the Economic Development Authority.
♦ The type of investments that the City is allowed to make outlined in Minnesota Statute
Chapter 118A. The current policy outlines the state statue requirements for investment. The
proposed policy identifies investment portfolio percentage allocations, maximum investment
terms, and minimum credit quality of investments and the maximum amount to be invested
in any one specific type of investment.

City of St. Louis Park
Investment Policy
It is the policy of the City of St. Louis Park to establish guidelines for the investment of all
public funds. This policy is designed to ensure the prudent management of public funds, the
availability of operating and capital funds when needed and providing the highest investment
return with maximum security and minimum risk.
I. SCOPE
This policy applies to all financial assets of the City of St. Louis Park. While separate
investment funds are created to accommodate reporting on certain bonded indebtedness,
individual investments are purchased using a pooled approach for efficiency and
maximum investment opportunity. The City’s funds are defined in the City’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and include:
• General Fund;
• Special Revenue Funds;
• Debt Service Funds;
• Capital Project Funds;
• Enterprise Funds;
• Trust and Agency Funds
• Any new funds created by the City.
II. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order of the City’s investment activities will be:
A. Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of
capital in the overall portfolio.
B. Liquidity
The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet
all operating and capital requirements that might reasonably be anticipated. A
portion of the portfolio may be placed in money market mutual funds or local
government investment pools, which offer same-day liquidity.
C. Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a
market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into
account investment risk and liquidity needs.
46
III. STANDARDS OF CARE
The prudent person standard shall be applied to the management of the portfolio. This
standard states: “Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under
circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the expected income to be
derived.”
Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment
policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an
individual security’s credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from
expectations are reported in a timely fashion and the liquidity and the sale of securities
are carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy.
IV. INVESTMENT AUTHORIZATION
The Director of Finance/Treasurer is designated as the Investment Officer of the City and
is responsible for investment management decisions and activities. The Director of
Finance/Treasurer shall carryout established written procedures and internal controls for
the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. The
Director of Finance/Treasurer is authorized, as allowed under the State Statute, to
designate depositories and broker-dealers for City Funds.
V. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Any city official involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which
could impair his/her ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees shall
disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business.
Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions
with the same individual with which business is conducted on behalf of the City.
VI. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
The Director of Finance/Treasurer will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized
to provide investment services to the City. All broker/dealers who desire to become
qualified bidders for investment transactions must supply the Director of
Finance/Treasurer with:
• Audited financial statements and proof of National Association of Security Dealers (NASD)
certification;
• Proof of Minnesota Registration Broker Notification and Certification form required by
Minnesota Statutes 118A prior to any investment transactions with the City. The Broker
Notification must be updated annually.
• The Official Broker/Dealer Questionnaire must be on file for each broker the City is
currently doing business with.
47
• Certification of having read the City’s investment policy and agreement to conduct
investment transactions in accordance with the policy and objectives, as well as state statutes.
• Written agreement to disclose potential conflicts of interest or risk to public funds that might
arise out of business transactions between the firm and the City.
Authorized institutions must maintain an investment office within the Twin Cities
metropolitan area and have other Minnesota local government clients.
VII. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City is authorized, under State Law Chapter 118A; to invest the securities listed in
Exhibit A.
VIII. COLLATERALIZATION
Full collateralization will be required on non-negotiable certificates of deposit. All
deposits will be insured or collateralized in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter
118.
IX. SAFEKEEPING
Investments shall be kept at the broker/dealers in the City’s name. Certificates will be
held at the financial institution in the City’s name. All securities should be a risk
category one according to the Government Accounting Standard No. 3. The
broker/dealer must provide asset protection of $500,000 through the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation (SIPC) and at least another $2,000,000 supplemental insurance
protection.
X. INVESTMENT PARAMETERS
The City’s investment shall be diversified as to specific maturity, issuer and institution in
order to minimize the risk to the portfolio. Investments should be purchased to match
expected cash flow needs, minimizing the market risk associated with the early sale of
the investments.
XI. REPORTING AND REVIEW
A. The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters
outlined in this policy. The portfolio will be designed with the objective of
obtaining a rate of return throughout budgeting and economic cycles,
commensurate with the investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.
B. The City’s investment policy shall be adopted by resolution by the City Council.
The City’s investments and investment practices shall be reported to the City
Council. Quarterly information shall be reported to the City Council and include:
1. A listing of individual securities held at end of reporting period.
48
2. A listing of investments by maturity date.
3. The percentage of the total portfolio in each type of investment.
4. Rate of return for quarter.
5. Market to market analysis.
C. Interest earned on investments shall be allocated to various funds based on each
fund’s average monthly cash balance.
XII. STATUTORY AUTHORITY
Specific investment parameters for the investment of public funds by the City are found
in Minnesota Statutes Chapters 118A.
XIII. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
A. Exemption
Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy
shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or
liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy.
B. Amendments
This policy shall be reviewed on an annual basis. Any changes must be approved
by the City Council resolution.
C. Interest Allocation
The general fund shall be allocated a management fee equal to three percent of the
total net investment earnings of the investment pool, excluding investments
related to the Economic Development Authority.

as follows: Chair, George Beck; Vice Chair, Cynthia Ahrens; and Secretary, Michael

V. Charter Review
53
The Commission discussed Chapter 9, Franchises. In attendance was League of
Minnesota Cities Representative Duke Addicks. Mr. Addicks reviewed various sections
of Chapter 9 with Commission members. More recent deregulation legislation has created
the need to reconsider and modify some now archaic requirements. He cited some
sections of Chapter 9 as now having been modified and superseded by federal and state
law. In other cases, it is illegal to impose some of the requirements of Chapter 9. Further,
Mr. Addicks stated that all municipal powers relative to franchises are currently included
in Chapter 1 (especially 1.02) of the current City Charter. Mr. Addicks therefore
recommended that the Charter Commission consider elimination of Chapter 9. This
should simplify the Charter and make it more likely to stay consistent with ever-changing
deregulation law.
Commission members thanked Mr. Addicks for his presentation, and agreed to see if the
legislature takes any action that might influence the Charter Commission’s direction with
respect to the future of Chapter 9.
VI. Police and Fire Civil Service Commissions
The Commission discussed the report from City Manager Charlie Meyer to review the
current status and future roles of the City’s two Civil Service Commissions. After this
discussion, the Commission agreed to: 1) receive State background statutes related to the
two commissions; 2) hold an educational session on the commissions, including the City
Attorney; and 3) hear from various interested parties on the role played by the
commissions.
VII. Meeting Schedule
The Commission agreed to meet with the Council on April 24, then hold regular meetings
on April 20 and May 10.
VIII. Adjournment
As there was no other business, at 8:15 p.m., Commissioner Sixel moved and
Commissioner Schaefer seconded adjournment. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Call to Order
Chairperson Marc Berg called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m.
March minutes: Moved by Lynn Littlejohn and seconded by Kim Fischer to approve the March
minutes. Motion passed unanimously. Herb Isbin would like for it to be on the record that the
minutes were very good and informative; he felt that by reading them he was well informed of
what had happened in the meeting even though he had been absent.
April Agenda: Herb Isbin would like to discuss and receive clarification on placing documents
on the historical record. Marc Berg suggested that item be added to Old Business as Item 3E.
Moved by Lynn Littlejohn and seconded by Betty Merritt to approve the revised agenda. Motion
passed unanimously.
New Business
Guest Speaker, Lorin Kramer: Sgt. Kramer introduced himself and stated that he was the
supervising officer of the investigation department with the St. Louis Park Police Department.
He reported that they have added efforts in training police officers in bias hate crimes and proper
procedures to follow. They have also established a system to notify the proper staff of bias hate
crimes. Herb Isbin asked when the determination of an incident becomes a hate crime. Sgt.
Kramer replied that any incident based on the criteria for determining bias hate crimes is
immediately a crime.
Sgt. Kramer then passed out a handout regarding a recent hate crime. He stated that a woman
felt she may have been the victim of a hate crime and has filed a report. The responding officers
provided the woman with information and literature on bias hate crimes and the Human Rights
Commission’s bias hate crime hotline. Marc Berg asked what the possibility was of solving the
crime. Sgt. Kramer replied that if another incident happened they may be able to solve the case,
but as of yet have no concrete proof against the suspect. He added that he highly encouraged a
proactive stance on behalf of the victim and others in her residence, suggesting that they take
specific measures to ensure their safety.
55
Sgt. Kramer then spoke of another incident of a bias hate crime that had previously taken place at
the Jewish Community Center. It was an incident where the facility had been targeted with hate
literature. Sgt. Kramer reported that they did obtain a description of the suspect and vehicle used
during the crime; however, the descriptions were not clear enough to lead to any suspects. Sgt.
Kramer also encouraged the staff of the facility to develop a proactive stance, suggesting that
they take certain measures to improve their security. Marc Berg asked Sgt. Kramer if he felt that
the facility was taking the proper measures; Sgt. Kramer replied that they were doing all they
could and felt comfortable with the measures they had taken. Lynn Littlejohn inquired if any
new information had been acquired; Sgt. Kramer replied that the facility was in a state of
awareness. The question was raised on what would be done if the perpetrator were caught; Sgt.
Kramer replied that the perpetrator could possibly be charged with a citation for illegally
distributing literature and breach of peace. Sgt. Kramer emphasized the facilities wishes to not
have the incident publicized. Marc Berg inquired if the facility had experienced other such
crimes and Sgt. Kramer replied that he could not recall any other incidents. Herb Isbin also
inquired if other commissions had experienced such incidents in their cities; a few examples
were cited on certain measures that had been taken in other cities, including educational
promotion on diversity. Lynn Littlejohn asked if notification of bias crimes ha occurred more
often now; Sgt. Kramer replied that it has due to the improved steps they have taken in reporting
such crimes. Herb Isbin thanked Sgt. Kramer for his time to visit with the Commission. Sgt.
Kramer offered his number to the Commission and urged them to call if they had questions.
Literature incident at the Jewish Community Center: The Commission continued to discuss
the incident at the Jewish Community Center (JCC). Marc Berg mentioned that he had spoken
with the Jewish Community Relations Council. He asked the commission what the Human
Rights Commission’s position should be on such issues, stating that a possibility is to place an
article in the community newspaper. Betty Merritt replied that she felt that the JCC indicated
they did not want publicity and perhaps a small article generally regarding diversity could be
submitted to the papers. Lynn Littlejohn felt that the Commission should have an opinion on the
matter and should voice that opinion. Kristin Siegesmund stated the article should not be
specific to the incident but make the point that all bias crimes are wrong. Martha McDonell
suggested that they also publish statistical data. Kristin Siegesmund stated that crimes like this
are not wanted in the community; she added that if crimes or the general idea of bias are brought
to the community’s attention, crimes will not be as likely to occur. Emily Wallace-Jackson
replied that they need to be very careful and the JCC should be notified if any action is taken.
Marc Berg suggested that Kristin Siegesmund draft an article for the community paper and that it
be kept general. Martha McDonell stated that she would provide the statistical data. Betty stated
her concern that the victims cannot and should not be recognized through any descriptions in the
article. Herb Isbin agreed and reminded the Commission that the victims did not directly contact
them. Marc Berg replied that the response plan did not prohibit them from communicating with
the victims. Kristin Siegesmund stated that they need to take care not to inadvertently undermine
the victims of the crime. The Commission will review the draft article at the next meeting.
Old Business
2000 Work Plan: Marc Berg reported that he had revised the outline of the plan and
incorporated some small changes but has left the ideas the same. It was moved by Lynn
Littlejohn, seconded by Herb Isbin to approve the work plan. The motion passed unanimously.
56
Herb Isbin felt that duties should be assigned to the Commission members. Marc Berg agreed
and suggested that work groups be formed to work on the school, community, and governmental
aspects of the plan. Martha McDonell suggested that each member choose a goal that motivates
him or her the most. Betty Merritt volunteered to work at the Ice Cream Social in May. Herb
Isbin and Marc Berg will work on developing relationships with community groups, Isbin will
specifically work with the library. Chris Smith and Lynn Littlejohn are both interested in the
governmental goals of the work plan. Betty Merritt and Lee Gross will work on sponsoring and
co-sponsoring community events and programming. Kim Fischer will focus on human rights
issues in the community and on improving methods of gathering information. Emily Wallace-
Jackson will work with the School District regarding the Strategic Plan. Kristin Siegesmund will
work on raising public awareness of the Human Rights Commission.
Update on Immigration Forum: Lynn Littlejohn reported that she had contacted Marian
Santucci from Adult Options in Education regarding the Commission’s support and endorsement
of the forum. She stated that her understanding was that Marian wanted to make the
Commission aware of the forum. Chris Smith suggested that someone from City Hall should
attend the forum. Littlejohn responded that it was geared more towards businesses. Herb Isbin
inquired who was sponsoring the event and Littlejohn replied that it will be sponsored by Twin
West and Community Education.
League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions Regional Meeting: Marc Berg reported
that he, Lynn Littlejohn, and Herb Isbin had attended the meeting. The meeting covered the
workings of the Human Rights Department and stated that the speakers were very interesting.
Lynn Littlejohn felt that good information was provided and meeting other commissions was
helpful. A handout regarding teaching children about human rights was distributed at the
meeting. Herb Isbin stated that Golden Valley had shown some very helpful charts. He stated
that few reports of illegal discrimination result in any action or conviction. He concluded by
saying that these regional meetings are worthwhile to attend.
School Strategic Plan – Update from Emily Wallace-Jackson: Emily Wallace-Jackson
passed out a memo that summarized the time she spent with School District Superintendent
Barbara Pulliam. Dr. Pulliam did not feel that talking to school district staff would be beneficial,
but did not discourage the Commission from doing so. An ethnographic study is being
conducted in the schools and should be completed by May or June. Kristin Siegesmund inquired
as to what an ethnographic study is. Wallace-Jackson replied that it is a study where researchers
follow a select group of students throughout their day to observe and understand what issues
students encounter. Betty Merritt inquired if there was a committee to develop a diversity plan.
Wallace-Jackson replied that Dr. Pulliam had thought a Commission member was on the
committee; Merritt replied that she had been designated to participate but never received any
further information. She felt that there needs to be a specific contact person; if the Commission
is to be involved there needs to be good communication and information. Siegesmund asked if
Dr. Pulliam envisioned diversity training in the future. Wallace-Jackson replied that Dr. Pulliam
did but sees that it would be part of a broader training. She informed the Commission that the
School District would like the Commission to report on their accomplishments and upcoming
projects. A school board meeting which will discuss the School’s Strategic Plan is going to be
held in May and she urged a Commission member to attend. Merritt volunteered to attend the
57
meeting. Wallace-Jackson felt that a commission member should also be on the oversight and
strategic planning committees.
Permanent Record Process: Martha McDonell has several binders in which she keeps
information generated by the Commission. She has one that stores minutes of the last ten years,
one that contains general business or items of interest, and one that acts as a scrapbook.
Commissioner Reports
Herb Isbin reported that he had visited the City’s web site and that it was well done.
Martha McDonell reported that no calls had been receive on the bias hate crime line.
Adjournment
It was moved by Lynn Littlejohn and seconded by Emily Wallace-Jackson to adjourn the
meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m.

Minneapolis, representing the applicant, stated that the zoning request was to
accommodate a future development for property at 5755 Wayzata Blvd. He
60
stated he believes the planned use for that site is a good match, and they are
requesting the amendment because they would be unable to do an apartment
tower at that location under the current ordinance requirements.
Chair Carver asked what the current zoning is for the site.
Ms. Erickson indicated that the current zoning is Office.
Mr. Timian asked if this fits with current plan for more housing.
Ms. Erickson said that the Comprehensive Plan states that additional housing is
guided for this neighborhood and the site could accommodate Mr. Aaron’s
proposal.
Chair Carver closed the public hearing.
Mr. Morris stated that he has no problem with the request but he hopes that
throughout the City’s ordinance, the City does not start intermixing the concept of
first floor, ground floor, and second floor in situations where you have split level
type buildings.
Ms. Erickson stated that she would ensure that the corresponding definitions are
clear.
Mr. Morris moved to approve the Zoning Ordinance Amendment and forward to
the City Council for adoption . The motion passed 5-0 with Carver, Gothberg,
Morris, Timian and Velick voting in favor.
B. Case No. 00-22-Z - Amendments to Zoning Map for Comprehensive Plan
Consistency -
• City owned property east of CP rail right-of-way and south of Cedar Lake
Road from R3 Two Family Residential to IG General Industrial
• Property southwest of Wooddale and Highway 7 and east of Brunswick
Avenue from IP Industrial Park to MX Mixed Use
Ms. Erickson, Planning Coordinator stated that she was present to answer
questions.
Chair Carver stated that the City is required to bring the zoning for the properties
into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Timian asked when work on the transit, bike path and major city trail is
scheduled to begin.
Ms. Erickson stated that the transit is supposed to start operating in September;
the major city trail will not actually be constructed or finished until next year;
61
and the date for the future bus-way was still pretty sketchy, but a feasibility study
has been completed. She stated that part of transit redesign is to try to get more of
a transit network in place to connect in all directions.
Mr. Morris stated that this bus-way would function similar to the University of
Minnesota dedicated bus-way.
Chair Carver opened the public hearing.
With no one wishing to speak, Chair Carver closed the public hearing.
Mr. Morris moved to adopt the staff recommendation and accept the zoning
ordinance map amendments as presented, The motion passed 5-0 with Carver,
Gothberg, Morris, Timian and Velick voting in favor.
C. Case Nos. 00-23-CUP, 00-24-S, and 00-26-VAC - Request of Novartis Nutrition
for Preliminary and Final Plat approval for Novartis Addition, Special permit
Amendment for more than one building on one lot, and street vacation of that
portion of West 24th Street lying west of Stephens Drive
Ms. Peterson, Planner, presented a staff report and recommended approval of the
Preliminary and Final Plat, Special Permit Amendment, and street vacation of a
portion of W. 24th Street, subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report.
Mr. Timian asked if there is a way to guarantee that the wetlands would remain
wetland.
Ms. Peterson indicated that the wetlands have been delineated and the developer
would have to follow State guidelines relating to any construction in a wetland.
Ms. Velick stated that she believes a wetland would not be able to be delineated
or disturbed.
Ms. Erickson explained that the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is the
regulating agency for the this wetland, not the City. She stated that, although the
property could potentially be redeveloped, it would be difficult to do so because
of two for one replacement requirements for wetlands and one for one
replacement requirements for floodplain.
Chair Carver opened the public hearings.
With no one wishing to speak, Chair Carver closed the public hearings.
Mr. Gothberg moved to accept the recommendation from staff, approve the
preliminary and final plat for Novartis Addition, approve the Special Permit
Amendment, and approve the street vacation, subject to conditions outlined in the
62
staff report. The motion passed 5-0 with Carver, Gothberg, Morris, Timian and
Velick voting in favor.
4. Old Business: None
5. New Business
A. Consent Agenda - None
B. Other New Business
i. Case No. 00-18-PUD -- Request by Project for Pride in Living for an
Amendment to the approved Preliminary PUD and Final PUD approval
for Louisiana Court apartment complex
Ms. Peterson, Planner, presented a staff report and recommended approval
of the final PUD and approval of an amendment to the approved
preliminary PUD, subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report.
Chair Carver asked what the problem was with the office building being
integrated into the existing apartment building.
Ms. Peterson stated that it would have been much more challenging and
expensive to meet Building Code requirements.
Chair Carver asked if the proposed ordinance modifications would apply
only to the office building.
Ms. Peterson stated that is correct.
Chair Carver noted the Council’s comments regarding parking and asked
if the amount of parking was reduced.
Ms. Peterson stated that it has not, and that staff concurs with the applicant
that the amount of parking that was approved as part of the preliminary
PUD is sufficiently reduced. To reduce it further would increase the
likelihood that the proof of parking would have to be converted in the
future, which would not be cost effective.
Ms. Velick moved to recommend approval of Final PUD and an
amendment to the approved Preliminary PUD for Louisiana Court
apartments, subject to conditions as recommended by staff. The motion
passed 5-0 with Carver, Gothberg, Morris, Timian and Velick voting in
favor.
ii. Appoint Oak Park Task Force Member - Ken Gothberg
63
Mr. Gothberg stated that he is willing to serve on the Oak Park Task
Force. It was the consensus of the Commission to appoint Ken Gothberg
to the Task Force.
6. Communications
A. Recent City Council Action - April 17, 2000 and May 1, 2000
7. Miscellaneous
A. Alternate meeting date for regular meeting of July 5, 2000
Chair Carver stated that the City Council has rescheduled its July 3rd meeting to
July 5th and will need to use the Council Chambers. The Commission discussed
alternate meeting dates and sites to hold meeting outside of City Hall, (Nature
Center or the Brick House), but determined that all regular meetings must be held
in City Hall as specified in the Commissions’ by-laws. It was the consensus of
the Commission to hold the meeting at City Hall in the Council Chambers at 5:00
p.m. before the City Council meeting on July 5th or at 7:00 p.m. on July 6th
depending on the length of agenda. Staff will determine the date of the meeting
after they review applications for the meeting which are due June 5th
B. Other
Mr. Gothberg recommended that the Commission begin to think of date for their
annual bus tour of the City which may perhaps include the Old Brick House.
