Minutes Aug 7, 2000

Mr. Birno stated that the application was for two soccer fields, one of which we would identify at
Oak Park Village.
Mr. Meyer, City Manager stated that in lieu of letting the opportunity to apply for the grant go
by, if for some reason we decide that these fields wouldn't be built there, we could apply for an
amendment to the grant which would allow us to use it, but we wouldn't have any guarantee that
the amendment would be approved.
Councilmember Nelson asked how specific the application needed to be.
Mr. Birno stated that the application needed to be specific and there was a chance that if the City
did not specify sites and outline when the process would be started this could impact the City's
opportunity of receiving a grant. He stated that there was a limited amount of money available.
Councilmember Nelson was in favor of spending this money for the matching portion.
Councilmember Young questioned how many additional funds would be required and where
would they come from.
Mr. Birno stated that some of the funds would come from the St. Louis Park Soccer Association
and the rest of the funds would come from the City's park improvement budget if available.
Councilmember Latz questioned how the decision to make the application is a commitment to
spend the matching funds or give the City an opportunity later if the grant is received.
Mr. Meyer stated that if the City accepts the grant and accept the monies than there is the
commitment for the matching funds. He stated that it was not the intent to use the balance of the
monies in the Park Improvement Fund for the soccer field alone, but for a larger project in the
Oak Hill area.
Councilmember Latz was in favor of the application of the grant.
It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Latz, to approve the
resolution authorizing application for a $100,000 grant designated for assistance with the
development to two soccer fields in the Oak Park Village area. The motion passed 7-0.

EXCERPTS FROM REPORT
MEETING OF JULY 17, 2000
*8d. City Engineer’s Report: Alley Paving – 3200 block between Georgia Avenue
and Hampshire Avenue – Project No. 00-20
This report considers paving the alley in the 3200 block between Georgia Avenue
and Hampshire Avenue in response to a petition by the property owners.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to adopt the attached resolution that accepts this report,
establishes Improvement Project No. 00-20, directs staff to
sponsor an informational meeting with abutting property owners,
and sets a Public Hearing and Assessment Hearing date of
August 21, 2000.
Background:
On June 7, 2000 the residents in the 3200 block between Georgia Avenue and Hampshire
Avenue submitted a petition to the City requesting the alley be paved in accordance with the
City’s standard for alleys. The petition was signed by just over the 51% needed to advance the
project.
City Alley Paving Special Assessment Policy:
The following is the City’s Alley Paving Special Assessment Policy:
A. The cost of alley improvements for residential properties shall be assessed as follows when
at least 51 percent (alley front feet) of the property owners petition for the improvement:
1. Thirty (30) percent of the cost of the improvement shall be assessed against all
properties abutting the alley. (INDIRECT BENEFIT)
2. Seventy (70) percent of the cost of the improvement shall be assessed against directly
benefited properties as defined in paragraph 5(B). (DIRECT BENEFIT)
B. A property is directly benefited if it has an existing garage with direct access to the alley, if
an access to the alley could be constructed from an existing garage, or if, no garage exists,
there is sufficient area on the lot to build a garage with access to the alley.
C. Commercial and multi-family property owners shall be accessed 100 percent of the cost of
the improvement.
D. Alleys shall be constructed of concrete and shall be assessed for a period of 20 years.
Discussion:
The City’s standard design for alley paving includes six (6)-inch thick concrete pavement 10 feet
in width with driveway apron connections between the paved alley and abutting paved
driveways. Private driveways outside the alley right-of-way are the responsibility of the property
owner. In accordance with City practice, the driveway connections will match existing materials
and grades. It is proposed that pavement grades be established to provide positive drainage
without requiring storm sewer construction.
Item # 6c 6
Financial Considerations:
The City’s Policy for funding alley improvements requires the abutting property owners to pay
100% of the improvement costs. The Policy also provides for the assessments to be levied as
direct and indirect benefits based upon abutting frontage. Estimated assessments and an
estimated payment schedule have been attached for informational purposes. A summary of the
estimated costs and proposed assessments, based upon the City’s Assessment Policy for alley
improvements is as follows:
Estimated Costs:
Construction Costs $ 42,625
Contingency (10%) $ 4,260
Subtotal $ 46,885
Engineering & Administrative (12%) $ 5,115
TOTAL $ 52,000
Revenue Sources:
Special Assessments $ 52,000
Alley Improvement Project Timetable:
Should the City Council approve the City Engineer’s Report, it is anticipated that the following
schedule could be met:

Hearing and Assessment Hearing

City Council Agenda Item # 8a
Meeting of August 21, 2000
8a. Resolution Adopting Vision, Mission and Values for the City of St. Louis Park
Organization
Adopt statements containing guiding principles to be applied by City of St. Louis
Park employees and council.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to approve the resolution.
Background
At its recent retreat, City Council discussed how a mission and values statement could enhance
St. Louis Park’s existing vision statement as well as offer guidance to employees and elected
officials. From that discussion, it appears that Council believes all three statements are
consistent with the direction they would like to give to employees in guiding their interactions
with the public and each other. Council also stated that these same guiding principles should be
applied to Council as they interact with staff, the public and each other.
Prior to presenting these statements to the City Council, a real effort was made to discuss these
concepts with City employees. This winter, I discussed the values statement during my State of
the City addresses to all employees. Based on the feedback from those sessions, the department
heads and I developed the core concepts for the mission and values. These core concepts were
then turned over to our Communications Coordinator to turn them into the attached concise,
communicable message.
I would like to introduce one more core word into this discussion: authenticity. I believe it
would be a grave mistake to promote a mission and values that could not be actualized in the
workplace. As I have discussed these concepts with Council and staff, I have come to believe
that we can, indeed, make our mission and values a reality. I further believe that we have
reached a unique moment as an organization that makes it possible to create a climate where
these values can be embraced. I recommend that the City Council adopt all three statements
(vision, mission and values). I look forward to providing the leadership necessary to carry out
this effort.
VISION
Although, Council previously adopted Vision St. Louis Park’s vision statement, adopting it in
this context connects the community vision—“our community of choice for a lifetime”—to City
government’s mission and values.
Item # 8a
2
MISSION
The mission statement is intended to guide both Council and staff on the essence of our business.
Our mission statement is a bold concept that takes us beyond providing traditional municipal
services: we are now committing ourselves to ensuring the vitality of the community. Recently
adopted City policies imply that we have gone well beyond the concept of preserving and
protecting: we now work to create a vital community, as well. I believe that policy shift is
reflected by the vitality portion of the mission statement.
A greater leap yet is the inclusion of the concept of welcoming. As discussed at the retreat, the
intent is to make all members of the community—new and long-term residents—feel they belong
and are welcome here. By stating that our mission is to be welcoming to all groups, we are
incorporating our diversity vision into our daily mission. Welcoming also sets a high standard
for staff as they interact with the public. Coupled with the respect value, we are stating that we
expect our employees to always try to leave our citizens feeling respected and welcome—even
when we are asking citizens to do things they may not wish to do.
VALUES
The values statement is intended to set a high standard for our behavior. This statement tells
employees what we expect of them and what they should expect in return. We will talk about
these values in our employee orientation and training programs. To ensure employees are living
up to these values, we will use these standards in our performance evaluations. At the retreat,
Council indicated these same values should apply to City Council members. In the time since
the retreat, I have had the opportunity to attend several department staff meetings, and I have
been reassured by the strong support voiced by employees when I explain the Council’s view on
this point.
In addition, the values statement has already generated constructive questioning. Fire staff has
been asking whether larger, full-service fire trucks or smaller lighter vehicles produce better
stewardship. Employees discussing our human environment now express the belief that we, too,
have a responsibility for preventing domestic violence. The values statement is generating
thoughtful discussion about important service issues, and adoption by the Council will only
increase the credibility of this process.
GETTING IT OUT THERE
• The City Manager will meet with each new employee to orient new hires to St. Louis Park’s
Vision, Mission and Values.
• Department directors will discuss these concepts at departmental staff meetings.
• The Vision, Mission and Values will be printed and distributed to all employees.
• The Values statement will be incorporated into performance evaluations.
• Our Vision, Mission and Values will be posted in employee work areas.

City Council Item # 8b
Meeting of August 21, 2000
8b. Second Reading of an Ordinance Relating to Nuisances: Declaring Unsafe,
Infested and Improperly Stored Exterior Firewood a Public Nuisance;
Amending City Code Section 11-102.
Proposed ordinance identifies when the exterior storage of firewood becomes a
nuisance due to height, infestation or method of placement.
Recommended
Action:
Close public hearing. Motion to approve second reading of an
ordinance declaring unsafe and excessive exterior firewood
storage as a nuisance.
Background:
The issue of firewood storage regulations was initially discussed by Council during the
May 22nd Study Session. Concerns over firewood piles arose when complaints were
received about excessively large firewood stockpiling occurring in residential yards.
Neighbors expressed concerns about possible health issues from rodent sightings and the
potential for fires. There also was a concern about the safety of children being attracted
to climbing tall woodpiles. Staff was then directed to write a proposed ordinance for first
reading at the regular council meeting on July 17, 2000.
On July 17, 2000, staff presented their proposal to Council. They received comments
from concerned woodpile owners who came to discuss their issues about the proposed
ordinance. After listening to these residents, Council further directed staff to investigate
additional issues and concerns brought by these residents. The first reading was passed by
Council, but then brought to the August 14, 2000 study session for further discussion.
First reading wording:
(14) The exterior storage of firewood that is either: (a) infested with rodents,
insects or other nuisance animals; (b) stacked less than 6 inches or more
than 5 feet above grade; (c) exceeds a maximum ground coverage of 64
square feet for all storage areas combined on any lot; or (d) is other wise is
a threat to health and safety.
The study session included discussion over the requirement for a 6-inch ground
separation and the maximum 5-ft. storage height. Six (6) inches ground clearance is the
recommended height by the University of Minnesota Extension Services, and is generally
the recommended height by most municipalities to promote drying of the wood and
minimize infestation of rodents & nuisance animals.
Item # 8b
2
The maximum five-foot height will allow slightly more stacking height than a standard 4-
foot high cord. Higher stacking may create instability of the woodpile and lead to a
hazardous situation. The five-foot height can be compared for reference to the maximum
six-foot height permitted for rear yard privacy fences
The most significant difference in the proposed ordinance for second reading is to
maintain a maximum of 64-sq. ft. of ground cover per stack (a little more then 2-full
cords of wood) while allowing multiple stacks per property. Stacks would be separated
by a ten-foot wide open space to permit access and limit the mass of each stack. This
will permit a resident to store an unlimited amount of firewood providing it is properly
and safely stored. Obviously the size of a lot limits the overall amount that can be
placed.
The City Attorney reviewed what was discussed at the study session and placed the
changes in ordinance format:
(14) The exterior storage of firewood that is either: (a) is infested with rodents,
insects or other nuisance animals; (b) is stacked less than 6 inches or more
than 5 feet above grade; (c) exceeds a maximum ground coverage of 64
square feet for each stack all storage areas combined on any lot; (d) has
stacks on a lot that are within 10 feet of each other; (e) is stacked in a
disorderly manner; or (f) is otherwise is a threat to health and safety.
Effective Date:
The ordinance is proposed to have an effective date of October 1, 2000 to provide
sufficient public notification and allow reasonable time for correction of any existing
nuisance conditions that may exist. This date was extended two weeks due to the
changed second reading date.

This is the final approval needed for Benilde-St. Margaret’s School to issue up to
$11,000,000 of Private Activity Revenue Bonds.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to approve resolution allowing Benilde-St. Margaret’s
School/Catholic Finance Corporation to issue up to $11,000,000
in Private Activity Revenue Bonds and approve all documents in
connection with the bond issue.
Background:
Preliminary approval for this bond issue was given on July 17, 2000 City Council meeting. A
Public Hearing was held on August 7, 2000 to consider the issuance of this Private Activity
Revenue Bond for Benilde-St. Margaret’s School.
This is the final approval needed in order to proceed with the issuance of these bonds. The total
bond issue is not to exceed $11,000,000 and the proceeds will be used to construct and equip a
new performing arts center, additional classrooms, a new library, new administrative offices and
remodel existing classrooms and office areas.
This bond issue is considered conduit debt and therefore, the City is not liable for the repayment
of the debt. Benilde-St. Margaret’s School is required to pay the City an administrative fee of
1/8th of 1% of the outstanding principle balance of the debt.

RESOLUTION RELATING TO VARIABLE RATE DEMAND
REVENUE BONDS (CATHOLIC FINANCE
CORPORATION/BENILDE-ST. MARGARET’S SCHOOL
PROJECT), SERIES 2000, OF THE CITY; AUTHORIZING
THE ISSUANCE THEREOF AND APPROVING AND
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota (the City),
as follows:
Section 1. Authorization and Recitals.
1.01. General Authority. The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.152
to 469.165, as amended (the “Act”), to issue revenue bonds to finance the acquisition and
construction of properties used or useful in connection with revenue producing enterprises.
1.02. Proposed Project and Bonds. This Council has been advised by representatives of
Benilde-St. Margaret’s School, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation (“Benilde”), that: (i) Benilde is
proposing to finance a project consisting of the construction and equipping of a new performing
arts center, additional classrooms, a new library, new administrative offices, the replacement of
existing bleachers, and the remodeling of existing classroom and office areas, all to be located
on the campus of Benilde-St. Margaret’s School at 2501 Highway 100 South in the City (the
“Project”); and (ii) Benilde can realize substantial debt service savings for the benefit of the Project
by financing the Project through the issuance by the City of revenue bonds. Representatives of
Benilde have requested that the City issue its Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds (Catholic
Finance Corporation/Benilde-St. Margaret’s School Project), Series 2000 (the “Bonds”), pursuant
to the Act, in the original aggregate principal amount not to exceed $11,000,000. Pursuant to this
proposal the Bonds will be issued by the City pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of August 1,
2000 (the “Indenture”), between the City and U. S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (the
“Trustee”), and the proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned by the City to Catholic Finance
Corporation, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation (“CFC”), pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated as
of August 1, 2000 between the City and CFC (the “CFC Loan Agreement”), and in turn CFC will
loan the proceeds to Benilde pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the
“Benilde Loan Agreement”), between CFC and Benilde, such proceeds to be used to finance the
Project. Under the Benilde Loan Agreement, Benilde will agree to make payments to the Trustee
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and
payable. CFC will assign the rights and payments under the Benilde Loan Agreement to the City
by an Assignment of Loan Agreement dated as of August 1, 2000. By the Indenture, the City will
grant a security interest to the Trustee in certain revenues and payments to be received under the
CFC Loan Agreement and the Benilde Loan Agreement. The Bonds will be additionally secured
during the Variable Rate Period by amounts drawn under an Irrevocable Direct-pay Letter of
Credit issued by Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., New York Branch.
Item # 8c*

1.03. Public Notice and Public Hearing. On August 7, 2000, the Council conducted a
public hearing with respect to the issuance of the Bonds for the benefit of Benilde and the Project.
A notice of the public hearing was published in the St. Louis Park Sun-Sailor on July 5, 2000. At
the public hearing all interested persons were granted an opportunity to comment on the proposed
issuance of the Bonds and the financing of the Project.

Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit”) to be issued by Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., New York Branch
(the “Bank”). Benilde has agreed to reimburse the Bank for draws under the Letter of Credit
pursuant to the terms of a Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2000 (the
“Reimbursement Agreement”), between Benilde and the Bank. The obligations of Benilde under
the Reimbursement Agreement will be secured by the following documents (the “Bank

August 1, 2000, from the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to the Bank; (ii) a Pledge and
Security Agreement; and (iii) such other documents and instruments required by the Bank and
provided by Benilde or others in accordance with the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement.
Section 2. Findings. It is hereby found, determined and declared that:

delivery of the Documents, and the performance of all covenants and agreements of the City
contained in the Documents and of all other acts and things required under the Constitution and

Loan Agreement, the Indenture (including the form of the Bonds set forth in the Indenture), the
Assignment, and the Purchase Agreement referred to in Section 1.04 are approved, subject to such
modifications as are deemed appropriate and approved, by the Mayor and Kennedy & Graven,
Chartered, as bond counsel to the City (“Bond Counsel”), which approval shall be conclusively
evidenced by the execution by the Mayor and the City Manager of the Bonds, the CFC Loan

by the other parties thereto. Copies of all of the documents shall be delivered, filed and recorded

Item # 8c*

Official Statement (the “Disclosure Documents”) setting forth material information regarding
Benilde, CFC, the Project, the Bonds, the security for the Bonds, and the Bank. The City has not
participated in the preparation of the Disclosure Documents, has made no independent
investigation with respect to the information contained therein, and assumes no responsibility for
the sufficiency, accuracy, or completeness of such information. The City hereby consents to the
distribution of the Disclosure Documents to prospective purchasers of the Bonds.
Section 5. The Bonds; Sale and Execution.
5.01. Authorization and Sale. The City hereby authorizes the issuance of the Bonds in the

that the initial interest rates on the Bonds, the exact principal amount of the Bonds, certain
redemption provisions with respect to the Bonds, and certain other terms with respect to the Bonds
have not as yet been determined and are not contained in the form of the Indenture referred to in
Section 1.04. The Mayor and City Manager are authorized to approve the initial variable interest
rates, the exact principal amount of the Bonds, provided that the principal of the Bonds does not
exceed $11,000,000, the redemption provisions and other terms of the Bonds. Such approval shall

agent, registrar, and tender agent with respect to the Bonds.
5.03. Modifications; Absence of Officers. The approval hereby given to the various
documents referred to above includes an approval of such modifications thereto, deletions
therefrom, and additions thereto as may be necessary and appropriate and approved by the Mayor
and Bond Counsel. The execution of any instrument by the appropriate officer or officers of the
City herein authorized shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of such documents in
accordance with the terms hereof. In the absence or disability of the Mayor, any of the documents
authorized by this resolution to be executed, may be executed by the acting Mayor or any other
member of the Council and in the absence or disability of the City Manager by the City Clerk, any
member of the Council, or such other officer of the City who, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, is
authorized to execute such documents.

Clerk and other officers of the City are authorized and directed to furnish to the Trustee and Bond
Counsel certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to the Bonds, and such

the Bonds, the CFC Loan Agreement, the Benilde Loan Agreement, the Indenture, the Purchase
Agreement, or any other documents, instruments, or security delivered to secure the Bonds, the
Bonds shall not constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
limitation, and shall not be payable from nor a charge upon any funds other than the revenues
specifically pledged to the payment thereof, and the City shall not be subject to any liability
thereon, and no holder of the Bonds shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing
power of the City to pay the Bonds or the interest thereon, or to enforce payment thereof against
any property of the City other than those rights and interests of the City under the CFC Loan
Agreement and the Benilde Loan Agreement which have been pledged to the Trustee by the
Indenture, and the Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable,
upon any property of the City other than those rights and interests of the City under the CFC Loan
Agreement and the Benilde Loan Agreement which have been pledged to the Trustee by the
Indenture. The agreement of the City to perform the covenants and other provisions contained in
this Resolution, and Bonds, the CFC Loan Agreement, and the Indenture shall be subject at all
times to the availability of revenues furnished by Benilde sufficient to pay all costs of such

conduct of City Council meetings and Resolution adopting St. Louis Park City
Council Rules of Procedure.
Staff is recommending that Municipal Code provisions detailing conduct of City
Council meetings be removed from the code and replaced by a more
comprehensive manual adopted by resolution.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to adopt the ordinance, approve the summary and
authorize publication.
Motion to adopt the resolution with exhibit A “Council Rules of
Procedure”
Background:
At the study session meeting of May 22, 2000 and at the regular City Council meeting of August
7, 2000, Council reviewed a draft document, “City Council Rules of Procedure”. The document
contains guidelines for setting meeting schedules, agendas, the order of business, and regulates
the conduct of Councilmembers and audience. Provisions contained in the document are
excerpts from state statute (open meeting law, data practices), the City Charter and the municipal
code. The document will serve as a manual for Councilmembers, staff and the public.
As part of the recodification process it has been recommended that sections 2-101 through 2-121
be deleted from the municipal code and replaced by the following language. “The City Council
shall establish meeting times and shall adopt rules of procedure from time to time by resolution.”
If Council approves the ordinance, a resolution adopting the City Council Rules of Procedure
should be approved at the same time.
Changes Since First Reading
The City Attorney has revised the format of the ordinance regarding numbering and clarifying
deletions from the existing ordinance. Questions were raised at first reading regarding the
process to be used when members of the public wish to address the Council directly. Staff has
attempted to clarify by placing those procedures in Section III (B) “Procedure for Placing Items
on the Agenda”. Section III (I) where it was placed previously has been changed to read:
“Members of the public may make requests or present issues to the Council on
any matter considered to be of concern to the city. All pertinent procedures for
placement of items on the agenda apply.”
Item *8d 2
Impact on Administrative Processes

City of St. Louis Park
Council Rules of Procedure
I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of these rules is to provide guidelines for the conduct of public business by
the St. Louis Park City Council. All meetings of the City Council will be conducted in
accordance with the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, the City Charter and the Municipal
Code of Ordinances. The proceedings of the Council will be conducted as outlined in the
third edition of The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, written by Alice Sturgis
and revised by the American Institute of Parliamentarians.
II. MEETINGS
A. Quorum
A majority of all members elected to the Council shall constitute a quorum to do
business. Certain matters, however, may require more than a simple majority for
passage.
B. Location
All meetings of the City Council, including special, continued and emergency
meetings, will be held in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 5005 Minnetonka
Blvd unless the meeting notice published in advance of the meeting designates a
different location.
C. Notice of Meetings
Notice of all regular meetings, study sessions, special, emergency and continued
meetings will be posted at City Hall.
D. Meetings to be Public
Meetings of the City Council are open to the public, with the exception of
executive sessions from which the public may be excluded for consideration of
issues directly related to:
• labor negotiations;
• to comply with provisions contained in MN Data Privacy Act;
• preliminary consideration of allegations or charges against an employee of
the city (the employee has the right to ask that the meeting be public);
• performance evaluation of an employee (the employee has the right to ask
that the meeting be public);
• pending litigation and matters subject to attorney/client privilege.
E. Regular Meetings
Regular meetings will be held on the first and third Mondays of each month at
7:30 p.m. If the meeting date falls on a holiday, the meeting will be scheduled on
the next succeeding day that is not a holiday, unless another day has been
2
designated in advance. A schedule of all regular meetings and recognized
holidays will be kept on file at City Hall. Regular meetings can be cancelled or
rescheduled at any time, provided Council meets at least once per month.
F. Study Sessions
Study sessions are held on the second and fourth Monday of each month and are
scheduled at such time as to allow the Council adequate time to discuss issues as
noted on the agenda. Starting times will be noted on the meeting agenda and
posted at City Hall prior to the study session meeting. Study sessions may be
cancelled at any time and need not be rescheduled.
Study sessions are intended to be an opportunity for Council to fully discuss
issues and to gather information from staff, consultants or other sources
concerning those issues. All general rules of decorum apply to study sessions
with the exception that Council is not required to hear testimony from the public
unless that testimony is solicited by the council.
G. Continued Meetings
Any meeting may be continued to a specified time, place and date. Less than a
quorum of Councilmembers may continue or postpone a meeting to a fixed, future
time. If the time, date and place of a continued meeting is announced at an open
meeting and that information is recorded in the minutes, no additional public
notice is necessary. Otherwise, notice of the continued meeting is necessary.
Continued meetings may themselves be continued to a later continued meeting.
No continued meeting may be set for the same time as, or a time later than, the
next regular meeting.
H. Special Meetings
The Mayor or any three members of the Council may call a special meeting by
filing a written statement with the city clerk. The clerk must deliver to the
Council at least one day prior to the meeting a notice of the date, time, place and
purpose of the special meeting. If however, all Councilmembers attend and
participate in the meeting, these notice requirements are not necessary. The
presence of any member of the Council at a special meeting shall constitute a
waiver of any formal notice unless the Councilmember appears for the special
purpose of objecting to the holding of such meeting. Notice of the date, time,
place and purpose of a special meeting must also be posted by the clerk on the
principal bulletin board of the city at least three days prior to the date of the
meeting.
I. Emergency Meetings
An emergency meeting may be called due to circumstances which require
immediate consideration. The clerk may notify Council by any means available.
A good faith effort shall be made to provide notice of the meeting to any news
medium that has filed a written request for notice of meetings. The notice shall
include the purpose of the meeting.
J. Annual Meeting
3
The Council will hold its first meeting of the year on the first Monday in January
to:
• Establish Council meeting dates for the year;
• Designate the official newspaper;
• Designate official depositories;
• Appoint a mayor pro-tem to perform the duties of the Mayor during
disability or absence, or, in the case of a vacancy in the office of mayor,
until a successor has been appointed or elected

A. Agenda
All reports, communications, ordinances, resolutions, contract documents and
other matters intended for the agenda will be filed with the City Manager’s office
no later than 12:00 noon on the Wednesday prior to the Monday Council meeting
at which consideration is requested.
No item of business or action of council which does not appear on the agenda for
the meeting will be considered. Items of business that are of an emergency
nature or which require immediate consideration may be added to the agenda if
declared as such by a majority vote of the Councilmembers present
B. Preparation and Introduction of Items for Consideration
Ordinances, resolutions and other matters which require action by the Council
may be prepared and introduced by the Council, the City Manager or City
Attorney and will be reviewed and approved prior to submission to the Council by
the City Manager and/or City Attorney.
Members of the public may make requests to the Council on any matter
considered to be of concern to the city provided that the request is communicated
in advance of the meeting so that the item of business can be added to the meeting
agenda. Prior to placement on the agenda, requests from the public will be
reviewed by appropriate city staff and measures to resolve the situation or assist
the petitioner in making the presentation will be taken wherever appropriate.
Every ordinance and resolution shall be presented in writing and read in full at a
Council meeting. However, the reading of a resolution or an ordinance may be
dispensed with by unanimous consent of the Council.
C. Delivery of the Agenda
The agenda will ordinarily be delivered to Councilmembers by each Friday
preceding the scheduled meeting. At the time it is delivered to the Council, the
agenda and all pertinent material not of a confidential nature shall also be
available to the general public and the media.
4
D. Order of Business for Regular Meetings
The order of business for each meeting shall be as contained in the agenda
prepared by the City Manager, as follows:

or to expedite the business of the Council.
E. Call to Order
At the hour appointed for meeting, the members shall be called to order by the
Mayor, and in his absence by the Mayor pro-tem, and in the absence of both by
the Secretary. The Mayor will lead all present in the Pledge of Allegiance and
instruct the Secretary to call the roll and note the absences. The Secretary will
note in the minutes the time and point in the proceedings when any member
absent for roll call arrives, or when any member leaves prior to adjournment.
F. Presentations
May include proclamations, service awards and other presentations of general
community interest by the City Council or an invited member of the public.
G. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of each meeting will be recorded by the clerk or designated
representative, and delivered to each Councilmember with approval to be
considered at a subsequent regular Council meeting. Unless a reading of the
minutes is requested by a Council member, the minutes may be corrected and
approved as printed without reading aloud. If there is no objection to the
correction, it may be made without a vote of the Council. If there is an objection,
the Council will vote on the correction. Upon approval the clerk will make
revisions and enter the minutes into the public record as the official minutes of the
Council.
H. Approval of Agenda and Consent Items
The mayor will ask those present if there are changes or additions to the agenda.
The Mayor will also ask if there are any present who wish to move items from the
list of consent items to another section of the agenda for discussion.
5
Consent items are those items of business which are considered to be routine
and/or which need no discussion. Consent items are acted upon by one motion. If
discussion is desired by either a Councilmember or a member of the audience,
that item will be moved to an appropriate section of the regular agenda for
discussion.
I. Petitions, Requests, Communications from the Public
Members of the public may make requests or present issues to the Council on any matter
considered to be of concern to the city. All pertinent procedures for placement of items
on the agenda apply.
J. Public Hearings
Public Hearings are conducted when required by statute, charter or city ordinance.
Council reserves the right to hold public hearings on any item. Notification is given to
the public in advance of the meeting through the City’s Official Newspaper, or through
direct mailing to interested and affected parties.
K. Ordinances, Resolutions and Motions
1. Ordinance – used when the action of Council regulates or governs people
or property and provides a penalty for its violation. Any ordinance should
be of general application within the city, and of a permanent and
continuing nature. State statute and city charter also require certain
actions to be in ordinance form.
2. Resolution – used for any action of a temporary or administrative nature
when it is reasonably certain that the action to be taken is of significant
historical value.
3. Motion – used for simple, administrative acts. Proceedings in the form of
motions are considered to be equivalent to resolutions.
L. Matters Concerning Boards and Committees
Council may hear or receive reports, make appointments, establish committees, hold
discussion or conduct any other business regarding boards and committees.
M. Communications
At this time council and staff may raise issues to be considered for future discussion and
provide information of interest to council, staff and the general public. Communication
items needs not be placed on the agenda as they require no immediate action by the
Council.
N. Adjournment
The mayor will ask those present if there are additional items of business. If there no
additional items and if no objection is heard from members present, the Mayor will
declare the meeting adjourned.
6
IV. GENERAL RULES OF ORDER
A. Parliamentary Procedure
The proceedings of the City Council shall be conducted in accordance with the third
edition of The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, written by Alice Sturgis and
revised by the American Institute of Parliamentarians. Failure to comply with these
rules does not invalidate Council action unless at the time the action is taken or promptly
thereafter, a Councilmember or other interested person objects to the method of
procedure and points out to the Council the particular rule which was not observed.
B. Presiding Officer
The Mayor shall be the presiding officer of the Council. The Mayor may make motions,
second motions, or speak on any question and shall be entitled to vote like other members
of the Council. The Mayor pro-tem shall serve in the absence or disability of the Mayor.
In the absence of both the Mayor and the Mayor pro-tem, the Secretary, or designated
representative, will call the meeting to order and preside until the Council selects a chair.
Upon the arrival of the Mayor or mayor pro-tem, the temporary Chair will immediately
relinquish the chair upon the conclusion of the current item of business.
C. Preservation of Order
The Mayor shall preserve order and decorum at all meetings of the Council. All questions
and remarks shall be addressed to the Mayor, or through the mayor to the appropriate
Council member, staff member, citizen or other appropriate person. Before speaking,
each person shall address the Mayor and shall not proceed until being recognized by the
Mayor. Persons shall speak respectfully and shall confine remarks to the matter under
debate.
D. Points of Order
The Mayor decides questions of order subject to the right of any Councilmember to
appeal to the Council. In the event of an appeal, a majority vote of the Council will
govern and conclusively determine the question of order.
E. Public Order and Decorum
Members of the public attending Council meetings will observe the same rules of order
and decorum applicable to the Council. Any person making inappropriate remarks or
who becomes boisterous while addressing the Council may, at the discretion of the
Mayor or a majority of the Council, be removed from the room and may be barred from
further audience with the Council.
F. Manner of Addressing the Council
Members of the public may speak to any item on the agenda. Each person addressing the

City Council Agenda Item # 8e*
Meeting of August 21, 2000
*8e. Request by Novartis Nutrition Corp. for an extension to record final plat of
Novartis Addition
Case No. 00-24-S
5320 W. 23rd Street
Recommended
Action:
Motion to adopt a resolution amending the final plat resolution
and extending the plat filing deadline to October 20, 2000.
Background:
The final plat of Novartis Addition was approved on June 5, 2000 to replat the Novartis property
west of Highway 100 into one parcel. The property owners are currently working out some
outstanding title issues and have missed the 60-day deadline (August 4, 2000) to file the final
plat for recording. They are requesting an additional 45 days to resolve the title issues and file
the plat for recording.
Analysis:
Staff believes that a time extension is reasonable, given the need to work out additional title
issues. Staff is recommending a 60-day extension from the date of this proposed amendment,
slightly longer than requested, to ensure that there will be adequate time to work out the
remaining issues and avoid another extension request.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending adoption of a resolution amending the final plat resolution and extending
the plat filing deadline to October 20, 2000.

Meeting of August 21, 2000
*8f. Corrections to City-wide Sidewalk and Trail Systems
This report recommends making two corrections to the official Trail and Sidewalk
Systems adopted July 5, 2000.
Recommended
Action:
Motion to adopt the attached resolution which makes minor
corrections to the official Sidewalk and Trail Systems and
designates attached Exhibit A as the official Trail and Sidewalk
Map of the City.
Background: On July 5, 2000, Council established and adopted a system of walks, trails, and
bikeways in the City. During that adoption process, there were twenty-two (22) staff suggested
changes to the proposal being considered. In addition, requests by the Council created seven (7)
more last minute changes to the proposal. As a result of the significant number of changes made
during the adoption process, Council requested that staff review the final system of walks, trails,
and bikeways for accuracy or errors. During this review, two (2) errors were found:
1. The sidewalk along the east side of Brookside Avenue, south of Excelsior Boulevard, was
mistakenly deleted.
2. A bikeway on Yosemite Avenue, south of Birchwood Park, was accidentally omitted.
These two (2) segments should be included in the established systems.
Actions: Staff is recommending the errors described above be corrected by adding these two (2)
segments to the previously established systems. The easiest way to do this is to rescind the
earlier Resolution, Resolution No. 00-077, and documents (Exhibits A & B) establishing the
systems and adopt a new Resolution and Exhibit A (corrected to reflect the systems established
by Council in July and as recommended above). The attached Resolution and Exhibit A, dated
August 2000, does this.
Staff is not aware of any issues associated with these changes.

AND WHEREAS, in reviewing these officially established systems, two errors were
discovered which the City Council desires to correct.
AND WHEREAS, Exhibit A dated August 2000, as attached, reflects those corrections
and depicts the sidewalk and trail systems desired to be established by the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of St.

systems in accordance with Ordinance requirements.

b. Approval to Administer the Shelter Plus Care Program
(This agenda item was discussed first, item a. was deferred until all Board Members were
present)
Michele Schnitker, Housing Supervisor, noted that there were concerns expressed by the
Board regarding liability to the Housing Authority (HA) if one of the Shelter Plus Care (S
& C) sponsor organizations did not fulfill the requirements of administering the program.
Item *9a 2
Ms. Schnitker stated that one of the suggestions from the Board was to obtain a print out
of police calls to the properties that CIP owns and also for the Perspectives building
where the S & C assistance would be used at Louisiana Court. The reports were obtained
and Ms. Schnitker informed the Board that she discussed the findings with Officer Dan
Meyer, Community Liaison Officer. Officer Meyer has worked closely with the HA on
the Multi-Housing Crime Free Coalition in St. Louis Park. Officer Meyer stated that the
police have what he considers a good working relationship with Perspectives. As
compared to some other developments in the Park, Officer Meyer stated that the calls for
the Perspectives building were actually lower. He stated that he has had little contact with
CIP and was not aware of any problems at their homes located in the community.
Ms. Schnitker reviewed the existing police reports from January 1st, 1999 to June 15th,
2000. The majority of the calls to CIP and Perspectives properties were mostly what the
police classify as “service’ calls or non-criminal calls such as medical.
Ms. Schnitker reported that she attended a training seminar on S & C where HUD’s
remedies for program non-compliance were reviewed. Ms. Schnitker reviewed these
with the Board.
Commissioner Moore inquired who is responsible for repaying the grant if expenses are
determined ineligible and other remedies fail and who cancels the grants? Commissioner
Moore asked if it would be up to the grantee to correct any problems.
Ms. Schnitker replied that the grantee is the HA and that the HA will have a contract
with HUD. The HA will also have contracts with each of the sponsors requiring them to
fulfill the requirements of the program.
Ms. Schnitker indicated that HUD's role is to monitor program administration of the
grantees and to assist the grantees in monitoring the sponsor organizations. In the past,
HUD went out to the sponsor sites with MHFA to monitor program compliance. As
indicated by the remedies previously discussed, HUD will work with the HA and the
sponsor organizations to resolve compliance issues.
Ms. Schnitker stated that if funds were used for expenses that were not allowed, the
sponsor would have to repay the grant. The money could still be used for other
allowable expenses.
Commissioner Moore asked if St. Louis Park has concerns about operating the S & C
program with CIP in Crystal, Robbinsdale and Golden Valley and asked if there are
other sponsors in those respective cities.
Ms. Schnitker stated that there are no other Sponsor Based S & C programs being
operated in those communities and that the Met Council, who currently operates the
Section 8 program in those communities, has indicated that they are not interested in
operating the CIP S & C program. Ms. Schnitker informed the Board that they need to
Item *9a 3
authorize approval for the HA to seek approval from those cities to operate the CIP S &
C program in each respective city. CIP owns five homes in those communities and
wants the flexibility to be able to use the assistance in all its homes.
Ms. Schnitker reviewed the S & C Agreement with the Board and stated that the
agreement is a revised version of a template contract utilized by MHFA and can be
modified. Staff has a few months to work out the details of transferring the program.
**Commissioner Row arrived at the Board Meeting at this time, 5:25 P.M.**
Commissioner Courtney inquired if staff had had any discussion with the cities of
Crystal, Robbinsdale and Golden Valley regarding the S & C program.
Ms. Schnitker stated that they were waiting for Board approval before contacting them.
Commissioner Gothberg moved to approve the HA assuming the administration of the
CIP and Perspective S & C programs and to authorize the HA to contact the
communities of Crystal, Robbinsdale and Golden Valley to seek approval to administer
the CIP program in their communities.
Commissioner Courtney seconded the motion. The motion passed on a vote of 5-0 with
Commissioners Row, Moore, Gavzy, Courtney and Gothberg voting in favor.
a. Election of Officers
(All commissioners were present for this item).
Commissioner Gavzy asked the Commissioners if there were anyone who had a
desire to serve or not serve as an officer of the Board. After discussion by the Board,
it was suggested that the current slate of officers be re-appointed
Chairman: William Gavzy
Vice-Chairperson: Catherine Courtney
Secretary: Shone Row
Commissioner Gothberg moved to adopt the current slate of officers for the
upcoming year’s Board. Commissioner Moore seconded the motion. The motion
was passed on a vote of 5-0 with Commissioners Courtney, Row, Gavzy, Gothberg
and Moore voting in favor.
c. Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) - Resolution No. 479
Michele Schnitker reported that the PHAS is continually changing and that HUD will
not compile our final FY 2000 score for another couple of months. The certification
presented to the Board for consideration is the Management Operations component,
worth 30 points, which is only one of four components in the PHAS scoring
assessment. The others are Physical Conditions, worth 30 points, Financial Condition,
worth 30 points and Resident Service and Satisfaction, worth 10 points. Ms.
Item *9a 4
Schnitker informed the Board that in order for a HA to achieve "high performer"
status, you must receive an overall score of 90% or greater.
Ms. Schnitker reported that all indicators in the MASS certification looked good and
she feels confident that the overall score on the MASS component should be
favorable.
Ms. Schnitker stated that staff recommends that the HA adopt Resolution No. 479
providing the necessary certifications and authorizing the Executive Director to
execute HUD Form 50072, PHAS Management Operations Certifications.
Ms. Schnitker reported on the Customer Service and Satisfaction Survey that was
included in the Board packet. This survey is sponsored by HUD's Real
Estate Assessment Center (REAC) to determine how satisfied residents are with their
living conditions and to help improve the quality of life in their developments. The
resident survey is one of the four PHAS components. Thirty percent of those
surveyed responded. Although the overall response was very positive, the responses
to a couple of questions on safety indicated some resident concerns.
Commissioner Gothberg moved to approve Resolution No. 479. Commissioner
Moore seconded the motion. The motion was passed on a vote of 5-0 with
Commissioners Courtney, Row, Gavzy, Moore and Gothberg voting in favor.
d. Follow-Up Discussion to Housing Authority Meeting With City Council
Commissioner Moore asked about the Council's comment at the meeting concerning
affordable housing and whether the Council would be interested in developing any
more affordable housing in St. Louis Park.
Ms. Schnitker stated that she heard the Council say that they were open to mixed-use
or mixed-income housing rather than developments that are exclusively affordable
housing developments. The Council felt that St. Louis Park had developed a
substantial amount of affordable housing and that maybe they have done their “fair
share”. Other Commissioners indicated that they felt the Council would be open to
the right development, one that incorporated the principles of mixed-use and mixed-
income. It was noted that Park Commons still plans to include 18 Hollman units.
Commissioner Row expressed her views on living in St. Louis Park as very favorable
in a mixed-use community. She is comfortable residing in her neighborhood and
feels that her family has become a vital part of the community.
***Commissioner Courtney left at this point in the meeting, 6:00 P.M.****
Commissioner Moore requested an update on the Blackstone neighborhood.
Ms. Schnitker stated that a meeting would be held Tuesday, July 18th with the
Blackstone neighborhood to share the survey results with the neighborhood and
Item *9a 5
discuss plans for a new park. The Neighborhood Association, Park and Recreation
staff, the Housing staff and Inspections will attend the meeting to work with the
neighborhood on exploring revitalization initiatives for the neighborhood.
7. Communications with the Executive Director
a. Claims List No. 07 - 2000
Commissioner Gothberg moved to approve Claims List No. 07 - 2000. Commission
Row seconded the motion. The motion passed on a vote of 4-0 with Commissioners
Moore, Gavzy, Row and Gothberg voting in favor.
b. Communications
(1) Monthly Report for July - 2000
Ms. Schnitker reported that Cindy Stromberg, Section 8 Housing Manager,
noticed that the utilization update reports in the Nan McKay software were
not counting the vouchers that had ported out and had not been absorbed by
other housing authorities. Since this is the report the HA uses to determine its
monthly utilization numbers for Section 8, the monthly report included in the
Board packet underrepresented our utilization rates for the Section 8 program.
The utilization rate is approximately 30 more than previously reported. As a
result of the higher utilization rate, the HA earned approximately $20,000
more in admin fees last year.
Commissioner Gavzy inquired if the Financial Summary format could be less
detailed. Ms. Schnitker stated that this is draft format for the Board to review
and that we will continue to work with accounting to develop a format that is
easy to read and understand.
Commissioners Gothberg and Moore stated that they would like to see a
report that is simplified, such as an Excel spreadsheet.
(2) Scattered Site Houses and Hamilton House (verbal report)
Sharon Anderson, Housing Manager, reported on the re-siding of some of our
scattered site units. Ms. Anderson reported that quotes were taken for two
separate packages and that the work will start in about 2 weeks.
Ms. Schnitker reported that all the CIAP work has been closed out under the
1998 grant. We are currently completing the work under the 1999 grant and
notification of the grant for next year will be coming from HUD soon.
(3) Home Renewal Program Habitat Program Update (verbal report)
Item *9a 6
Ms. Schnitker reported that the Development Agreement has been signed
on the Ottawa property and that we hope to have the closing before the
end of July.
(4) Scholarship Update
Ms. Schnitker reported that she contacted Tom Scott and that he indicated that
it does not appear possible for the Housing Authority to offer scholarships.
Mr. Scott suggested that Ms. Schnitker check with other housing authorities
on the subject to find out if they offer scholarships and what procedure they
used.
(5) Action Plan
Michele Schnitker reported that updates would be made by the next Board
meeting.
8. Other
Ms. Schnitker reported that the HA received a check for
$37,500. This is half of the development fee from the Project for Pride in Living (PPL)
for the Louisiana Court development. The other half of the fee has been deposited in the
City’s Housing Rehab fund. These funds will be deposited as a non-HUD investment
and can be utilized for housing related activities.
Ms. Schnitker reported that Project for Pride in Living (PPL) is planning a tree planting
ceremony on August 29th to dedicate the Louisiana Court Project. Invitations will be sent
to the Commissioners.
Commissioner Gavzy inquired if PPL had a target date for beginning construction at
Louisiana Court.
Ms. Schnitker stated that PPL has indicated that construction should start in
approximately two weeks.
Ms. Schnitker informed the Board that she would be talking to PPL regarding the
utilization of Section 8 vouchers at Louisiana Court.
9. Adjournment
Commissioner Moore moved to adjourn. Commissioner Row seconded the motion. The
motion passed on a vote of 4-0 with Commissioners Gothberg
Gavzy, Row and Moore voting in favor. Meeting adjourned at 6:25 P.M.
Respectfully Submitted

MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
JUNE 21, 2000 --7:00 P.M.
COUNCIL CHAMBERS
MEMBERS PRESENT: Ken Gothberg, Dennis Morris, Jerry Timian, Sally Velick
MEMBERS ABSENT: Michelle Bissonnette, Paul Carver, Michael Garelick
STAFF PRESENT: Judie Erickson, Janet Jeremiah, Janice Loftus
Due to absence of Chair and Vice Chair, Dennis Morris presided as Acting Chair
Due to a malfunctioning of the microphone system, there is no taped recording of these minutes.
1. Call to Order - Roll Call
Acting Chair Morris called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
2. Approval of Minutes of June 7, 1999
Ms. Velick moved approval of Minutes of June 7, 2000 and the motion passed on a vote
of 3-0-1 with Gothberg, Morris, Velick voting in favor and Timian abstaining.
3. Public Hearings:
A. Case No. 00-38-CP - - Amendment to Comprehensive Plan - Transportation
Chapter - revise text and maps relative to future transportation needs on Excelsior
Boulevard west of TH 100 and along the south frontage road of TH 7.
Judie Erickson, Planning Coordinator presented a staff report. She stated that
because of the work load within the Public Works Department at the time, the
transportation chapter of the Plan was partially prepared by a traffic consultant,
who used existing roadway design and existing and projected traffic counts to
identify existing and future road way deficiencies. Since the adoption of the Plan,
the effective time frame of several identified deficiencies has been revised, some
deficiencies eliminated, and several other deficiencies have been identified. The
primary reasons for most of the revision is either the lack of available traffic
volume data or the imprecision of some of Hennepin County’s 2020 traffic
projections, particularly in areas where redevelopment has had a dramatic impact
on traffic volumes. Many transportation projects within St. Louis Park depend on
outside sources of funding. Many of these sources require, as criteria for funding,
that a project or deficiency is identified in the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Staff
Item *9d 2
deems the proposed amendments vital for the following areas: Excelsior
Boulevard West of TH 100, South Frontage Road of TH 7 (Wooddale and TH
100), Louisiana Avenue Between Minnetonka and Excelsior Boulevard, I-394
South Frontage Road. Staff also proposes adding a table to page 27 of the chapter
entitled “Characteristics Typical of Functional Classification Types”. She noted a
couple of clarifications not included in the staff report as follows: 1) The minor
collectors should be added to the list of major and minor collectors. 2) In the Plan
by Neighborhood, Woodale Avenue is listed as a minor collector and should be
changed to a major collector.
Ms. Velick suggested that staff look at the traffic patterns on the Texas and I-394
frontage road. There is a need for a stop light or assistance during peak times.
Acting Chair Morris noted that the frontage road is long without stoplights to
break the flow of traffic.
Mr. Gothberg stated he is glad that staff is keeping the Comprehensive Plan up to
date and noted that Excelsior Boulevard between 100 and the west City limits is
in bad shape.
Acting Chair Morris noted that residents have raised issues of widening the traffic
lanes on Louisiana, north of Minnetonka Blvd, to Hwy 394 and Woodale Avenue
from Highway 7 to Lake Street.
Ms. Erickson stated that there are problems with left turning movements off
Wooddale Avenue into Central Community Center.
Mr. Gothberg noted heavy traffic to the senior high school at peak times.
Acting Chair Morris asked if the three lane configuration had been contemplated
at France and Excelsior Boulevard.
Ms. Erickson stated that traffic volumes were looked at, however traffic patterns
were not studied.
Ms. Velick stated that Council had addressed the Louisiana Avenue changes at a
recent hearing and asked if the City is required to mail notice.
Ms. Erickson noted that the proposed changes for Louisiana Avenue from
Minnetonka Boulevard to Highway 394 are already in the plan and are not
proposed to be removed.
Acting Chair Morris opened the public Hearing.
With no one wishing to speak, Acting Chair Morris closed the public hearing.
Item *9d 3
Ms. Velick moved to recommend that the City Council adopt amendments to the
Transportation Chapter of Comprehensive Plan 2000-2020 as proposed in the
staff report and the motion passed on a vote of 4-0 with Gothberg, Morris, Velick
and Timian voting in favor.
4. Old Business:
A. Case No. 00-26-CP - Request of Soomekh Oriental Rug for an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation from Industrial to
Commercial for property located at 5925 Highway 7. (tabled 5-17-00)
B. Case No. 00-27-Z - Request of Soomekh Oriental Rug for an amendment to the
Zoning Map to change the zoning from IG General Industrial to C2 commercial
for property located at 5925 Highway 7. (tabled 5-17-00)
Acting Chair Morris stated that Case No. 00-26-CP and Case No. 00-27-Z were
tabled at the Planning Commission meeting on 5-17-00, and he would entertain a
motion to remove the items from the table.
Mr. Gothberg moved to take Case No. 00-26-CP and Case No. 00-27-Z off the
table and the motion passed on a vote of 4-0 with Gothberg, Morris, Velick and
Timian voting in favor.
Judie Erickson, Planning Coordinator, presented a staff report. She stated that the
Zoning Administrator reached a decision that the applicant’s current use is a
Retail use and not permitted in the IG- General Industrial District.
Acting Chair Morris questioned why the use is no longer a warehouse. He also
asked, if there is a level of product not for sale, what the percentage of floor space
would be.
Janet Jeremiah, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, stated that 15% of a building in
the Industrial District can be retail. The intent of the restriction is to limit retail
in Industrial Districts and direct customer-oriented businesses to the Commercial
Districts. She stated that there is no question that this use is permitted in a
Commercial District.
Mr. Gothberg asked if only 15% of the area is accessible to customers could the
product be wheeled from the warehouse to showroom.
Ms. Jeremiah stated that staff could look at that possibility if the store was
reconfigured to 15% retail, but would not allow customers to use the warehouse.
Mr. Gothberg asked if the future study might lead to a rezoning.
Item *9d 4
Ms. Jeremiah stated that this is a difficult question to answer because there is a
need to study traffic capacities and look at the area in a comprehensive manner.
Paul Zisla, Attorney representing the applicant, Mr. Soomekh, was present. He
stated that at the last meeting the Commission recognized his client’s dilemma
and stated that Mr. Soomekh is looking for a solution. He referred to a letter
written to staff explaining why he believes the use can be classified as a
showroom.
There was discussion about why the use was classified by staff as a retail use,
precedent for doing so, and also implications a retail or showroom use has for
building code and ADA requirements.
Acting Chair Morris stated that the Commission should focus on the
consequences of approving these proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan
and Zoning Map.
Acting Chair Morris asked when the problem was identified.
Mr. Zisla stated that Mr. Soomekh bought the building in 1995. He had a contract
with and provided rugs for Daytons. The business was operated as a warehouse.
He lost the Dayton’s contract in 1999 and then opened to the public in late 1999.
Mr. Gothberg asked about the volume of sales from Dayton’s designers versus the
public.
Mr. Zisla stated he is submitting a copy of a letter for the record which was
submitted to staff prior to Scott Moore’s letter stating the use is retail. In answer
to a question on the volume of sales, Mr. Zisla stated it is about 28 rugs per week.
Mr. Gothberg questioned if the majority of the business was from designers.
Ms. Jeremiah stated that the items before the Commission are amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map, not whether or not this use is showroom or
retail. She said staff is willing to work with Mr. Soomekh. The applicant can
also appeal the interpretation of the Zoning Administrator to the Board of Zoning
Appeals.
Mr. Zisla stated he appreciates the willingness of staff to work with them, but he
is concerned for his client.
Acting Chair Morris stated he is in favor of staff’s recommendation and does not
favor spot zoning.
Mr. Gothberg stated that he agrees and does not want to change the
Comprehensive Plan but recommended studying how the use might be modified
Item *9d 5
in the near future so that the business would not shut down and have a vacant
building.
Mr. Timian stated he is concerned about closing a business in the community. He
said there are other retail uses in the area and recommended a provisional use
permit for Mr. Soomekh throughout the study.
Ms. Velick suggested that staff work with the attorney so that Mr. Soomekh does
not suffer any penalties.
Acting Chair Morris stated that zoning and use discrepancies are not new and the
Planning Commission is not the proper venue to address these issues.
Mr. Gothberg moved to accept the staff recommendation that the City Council
deny the proposed land use designation changes to the Comprehensive Plan from
Industrial to Commercial for property located at 5925 Highway 7.
Mr. Timian suggested that language be added to the motion that there be a strong
advocacy to resolve the issues with the applicant.
Ms. Erickson stated that concern should be a separate motion.
Acting Chair Morris called the question and the the motion passed on a vote of 4-
0 with Gothberg, Morris, Velick and Timian voting in favor.
Mr. Gothberg moved to accept the staff recommendation that the City Council
deny the proposed zoning amendment to change the zoning from I-G, Industrial to
C2 Commercial for the property located at 5925 Highway 7 and the motion
passed on a vote of 4-0 with Gothberg, Morris, Velick and Timian voting in favor.
Mr. Timian moved to direct staff to work with the applicant to find a solution for
the applicant until the study of the area is completed and the motion passed on a
vote of 4-0 with Gothberg, Morris, Timian and Velick voting in favor.
