The motion passed 7-0. 7. Petitions, Requests, Communications 7a. Browndale Neighborhood Association 1998/1999 grant proposal for a wood chip walking path around the pond in Browndale Park Pat Swiderski, 4237 Salem Avenue, President of the Browndale Neighborhood Association, stated that there were neighborhood concerns about the proposed walking trails and a meeting with the concerned neighbors was held in June. She indicated that she had spoken with the most concerned neighbor and he had said he wasn’t as concerned as he had been and didn’t think the path would be a problem. She presented some photos of the existing trail at Browndale Park. William H. Hennemuth, 4356 Dart Avenue South, stated that he has been a resident for 25 years and was concerned about additional noise and disturbance from foot traffic around the pond and it’s affect on the existing wildlife (wood ducks and mallards). He was also concerned about safety since it was not an area that was not easily observed by neighbors or the police. David Erickson, 4044 Utica Avenue South, stated that he has been involved in the neighborhood association with this issue and believed that the existing trail was usable only about half the summer and then it was overgrown and not passable and at currently the area on the west end of the pond looks like it was private property and if you wanted to walk around the pond you would be trespassing when the area was actually public property. 7 Doug Langenfelds, Director of Parks and Recreation, explained that the proposed trail and additional foot traffic would have a minimal affect on the area wildlife and recommended that the neighborhood police the area themselves to keep dog walkers who may let their dogs loose and go in the water. Councilmember Nelson recommended that some of the duck houses be placed in the water and that the vegetation between the path and the lake was not that desirable and perhaps that the actual location of the trail and landscaping could be considered further to satisfy the neighborhood. Ms. McDonnell stated that a neighborhood meeting was recently held where Jim Vaughan from Public Works presented some of the plans for the area between the baseball field and the pond which included some weed control to control geese, but indicated that this was put on hold until the neighborhood was consulted. Councilmember Nelson believed that most of the neighborhood concerns had been addressed and hoped some of the landscaping issues could be addressed. He would like to see Jim Vaughan move ahead with something that the neighbors can live with. He indicated that the City needs to keep on eye on the neighborhood’s concerns and asked residents to contact him with any problems. It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Brimeyer, to release grant funds so that the implementation of the revised project could begin. The motion passed 7- 0. 8. Resolutions and Ordinances 8a. School District #283 request for funds from Cable TV franchise equipment grant It was moved by Councilmember Brimeyer, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to approve the recommendation of the Citizens Cable TV Advisory Commission to allot one-third of the franchise equipment grant to School District #283 to purchase production equipment for local cable channel 32.

City Clerk Mayor 10 City of St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item # 6a Meeting of October 4, 1999 6a. Amendment to Special Permit for Groves Academy to permit a major building expansion 3200 Highway 100 99-23-CUP Recommended Action: Mayor to close the public hearing. Motion to adopt a resolution approving Special Permit Amendment subject to conditions in the resolution. Zoning: R-2, Single Family Residential Comprehensive Plan Designation: RL, Low Density Residential up to 7 units per acre (permits academic uses) Background: Groves Academy, which is a K through 12 school for young people with specific educational needs, is proposing a major expansion to the school, which lies directly west of Highway 100 and south of Minnetonka Boulevard. They are proposing to add approximately 30,000 square feet onto the existing approximately 66,000 square foot facility. The expansion would include a new gymnasium, classrooms, conference rooms, and other amenities. The driveway and parking area are proposed to be reconfigured, with a larger dropoff area and the driveway access onto the Highway 100 frontage road to be moved farther south. The play area would be pushed farther south as a result of the parking lot expansion. The proposal requires an amendment to an existing Special Permit, which was granted in 1982. The Planning Commission considered this request on September 15, 1999 and recommended approval 6-0. Prior to the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting on the proposed expansion. No neighborhood residents were in attendance at the September 15 Planning Commission meeting. Issues: • What are the requirements for amending a Special Permit? • Are all of the Zoning Ordinance requirements met? • Have the conditions which were to be met prior to City Council consideration been met? • How are adjacent residential properties affected by the proposed expansion? 11 Issues Analysis: What are the requirements for amending a Special Permit? If a Special Permit exists on a property, the Special Permit is required to be amended when any substantial physical changes are proposed. The requirements for amending a Special Permit are that any nonconformities which exist must be brought into conformance to the extent reasonable and possible, and that all other Zoning Ordinance requirements must be met. There is one existing nonconformity on the property, which is that outdoor play areas are required to be buffered from adjacent residential properties with a Bufferyard “C”. This is addressed under Zoning Ordinance requirements below. Other Zoning Ordinance requirements are addressed below. Are all of the Zoning Ordinance requirements met? Educational Uses in the R-2 District: Educational uses are permitted with conditions in the R-2 District. Below are the conditions and whether the conditions are met by the Groves proposal: a. Buildings shall be located a minimum of 50 feet from a lot in an “R” Use District. The proposed expansion maintains the required 50 foot setback. The new gymnasium is proposed to be 52’6” from the residential property to the west. b. An off-street passenger loading area shall be provided in order to maintain vehicular and pedestrian safety. A new off-street loading and bus turnaround are designated in front of the main building entrance, which improves the bus loading situation. c. Outdoor recreational and play areas shall be located a minimum of 25 feet from any lot in an “R” Use District and shall be buffered from such residential lot with a Bufferyard “C.” The outdoor play areas are proposed to be shifted to the south. A 25 foot setback is proposed to remain between the ball fields and the residential properties to the west. The proposed landscape plan includes a bufferyard “C” on the west side of the play area. General Requirements in the R-2 District: Dimensional standards and density requirements in the R-2 District are met by the proposal, including Ground Floor Area Ratio, height, and building setbacks. The building height of most of the new addition is proposed to be approximately the same as the existing building, at a maximum of 21 feet high. The new gymnasium is proposed to be 30 feet high, which is the maximum for the R-2 zoning district. The height is measured from the finished grade level for the building frontage along the Highway 100 frontage road, per the current Zoning Ordinance definition of building height. 12 Landscaping: Some bufferyards are required along the west side of the property to buffer the use from adjacent residential uses, and on the east property edge to buffer the proposed parking area from the road. The proposed landscape plan meets the bufferyard requirements. Architectural Standards: The exterior of the proposed additions are proposed to be mostly brick, with glass, limestone, and architectural precast. Some new glass and new architectural precast panels are proposed on the existing building facades to update the school’s appearance. The proposed building elevations meet the City’s architectural standards. Parking Requirements: The parking area is proposed to be expanded into the current play area to meet the requirements for the building expansion. The proposed number of stalls and parking lot design meet Ordinance requirements; however, this is based on a certain estimate of gymnasium seating which is not confirmed. Staff is recommending a condition that if the number of stalls need to be increased, that this plan change could be approved administratively, provided minimum setback and bufferyard requirements continue to be met. The proposed parking area shows a new driveway access onto the Highway 100 frontage road and a curb cut farther north being closed. Permission would need to be granted from the MN Department of Transportation, which owns the right of way, for the new driveway access. Staff has received verbal notification that MNDOT has preliminarily approved the new driveway access. A condition is recommended that written approval be submitted prior to any site work. Lighting Plan: The proposed lighting plan meets City requirements. Have the required conditions been met prior to City Council consideration? As part of the Planning Commission recommendation, several conditions were to be met prior to City Council review of the request, as follows: a. Revise building elevations to meet building wall deviation standards. This condition has been met. b. Revise landscape plan to include a minimum of 40% evergreens screening the parking lot on the east side and a Bufferyard “C” between the play area and residences to the west. This condition has been met. c. Site plan to be revised to show ponding area correctly. The site plan has been revised so that the proposed ponding area corresponds with the approved stormwater plans. d. Revise utility plans and erosion control plans per the Public Works Department’s requirements. Revised utility and erosion control plans have been submitted and are currently being reviewed by the Public Works Department. An update will be provided at the City Council meeting. e. Revise lighting plan to meet City lighting standards. 13 This condition has been met. The lighting plan meets City standards. f. Obtain at least verbal permission from MNDOT for storm sewer pipe on public right of way and driveway access changes along Highway 100 frontage road. The stormwater plans propose to have a storm sewer pipe partially on MNDOT public right of way, and a new driveway access is proposed along the Highway 100 frontage road. Permission must be obtained from MNDOT for these things. Staff has received verbal notification from MNDOT that the storm sewer pipe and driveway access are preliminarily approved. Written approval is being required as a condition of approval prior to any site work being done. Therefore, all of these conditions have been met. How are adjacent residential properties affected by the proposed expansion? The proposed building expansion would be separated from the residences to the west by a significant slope and additional evergreen and deciduous trees. The play area is required to have landscape buffering installed between it and the residential properties to the west, whereas there is no buffering for the play areas currently. The proposed parking lot lighting must meet City requirements for glare onto adjacent residential properties. The height of the proposed gymnasium is taller than the existing building, at 30 feet, but the grade change will reduce the impact on residences to the west by about ten feet. The school expansion is anticipated to result in some increase in traffic, noise, and activity; however, that activity is expected to be concentrated on the eastern side of the property along Highway 100. Some increase in traffic on Webster Avenue could be expected from additional cars exiting the school. Enrollment is expected to increase somewhat with the expansion, although the school does not expect it to increase by more than about 20 students from a current total of about 140 students. In addition, Groves is open to the possibility of making the gymnasium available to the public. Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the Special Permit Amendment with the following conditions: 1. The property shall be developed, used, and maintained in accordance with Exhibits B thru H. 2. Prior to any site work, the applicant shall comply with the following: a. Obtain an erosion control permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and forward a copy of permit to the City. b. Obtain written permission from MNDOT for storm sewer pipe on public right of way and driveway access changes along Highway 100 frontage road. 3. Approval of a building permit, which may impose additional requirements. 4. A sign permit shall be obtained prior to installation of any new signage. 5. If it becomes necessary to increase the number of parking stalls to meet City requirements for the approved building expansion, an increase of up to 10 stalls may be approved administratively, provided that setback and bufferyard requirements are met. 6. Assent form and official exhibits shall be signed by applicant (or applicant and owner if applicant is different from owner) prior to issuance of any building permits. 14 Attachments: • Proposed Resolution • Exhibit B, Boundary and Topographic Survey • Exhibit C, Grading and Erosion Control Plan • Exhibit D, Site Plan • Exhibit E, Elevations • Exhibit F, Utility Plan • Exhibit G, Landscape Plan • Exhibit H, Lighting Plan • Floor Plans Prepared by: Sacha Peterson Approved by: Charles W.

The attached Ordinance contains all of those provisions included in first reading minus provisions addressing building height and setback requirements for accessory structures in residential districts. These items will be brought back to the City Council separately within the context of a larger discussion about residential districts. The amendments are intended to address several unrelated issues including the following: • Conformance issues with the Comprehensive Plan. • Housekeeping amendments that correct various references and reincorporate a Zoning Ordinance inadvertently deleted during another amendment process. • Corrections to various references to staff and department responsibilities. • Provisions changing the location of public hearings for some City Council actions to the Planning Commission. • Provisions allowing the City Council to act as the Board of Zoning Appeals in some instances. • Deletions of some sections of the Zoning Ordinance where similar regulations occur in other sections of the Municipal Code.

The City Council shall act on the proposed change within 45 days after reviewing a recommendation from the Planning Commission, or a period of 45 days has elapsed from the time the Planning Commission received the request, if no recommendation was made. This period may be extended if the applicant agrees to a time extension. SECTION 14:8-4.3 SPECIAL PROCEDURE FOR COMPREHENSIVE REZONING Whenever the Planning Commission, in its capacity or acting on referral from the City Council, recommends a comprehensive rezoning of a substantial part of the City which consists of not less than fifty (50) lots of platted area or five (5) acres of unplatted area in order to conform to changing conditions, the City Council may make all or a part of that recommendation effective by amendment to this Ordinance. In such a case, the provisions of Section 14:8-5.2 shall not be applicable; but the procedure for such amendment shall be as follows: C. Planning Commission Hearing. The Planning Commission shall meet and conduct a public hearing upon the proposed rezoning amendment at the time and place specified in the notice prior to making a recommendation for a Comprehensive Rezoning to the City Council. The hearing may be adjourned from time to time by the Planning Commission, but it shall not be continued more than sixty (60) days from the date of the original hearing. D. Adoption. The City Council shall act upon the proposed rezoning not less than seven (7) days nor more than sixty (60) days after it receives a recommendation from the Planning Commission. A two thirds (2/3) vote of all members of the Council shall be required to adopt any amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council may alter the amendment proposed, but if the alteration results in a modification of the zoning map filed at the time of the first publication of notice of the hearing, it shall not be made until ten (10) days after notice has been given by registered mail to the owner of the property to be zoned that an amendment is being considered and may be adopted which is 38 different from that shown on the zoning map filed in support of the requested zoning change. E. Publication. If an Ordinance is adopted which provided for comprehensive rezoning even though less than the entire City is affected, the City Council shall require that new zoning maps be prepared showing the zoning district boundaries after adoption of the comprehensive amendment. Those maps shall be published as part of the publication of the Ordinance amendment. The Zoning Ordinance need not describe the tracts of land included in each zoning district in any way other than by reference to the zoning maps required by this Section. SECTION 14:8-4.4 PROCEDURE FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS PURPOSE AND INTENT. The Comprehensive Plan is a compilation of policy statements, goals, standards, and maps for guiding the physical, social and economic development, both private and public, of the City of St. Louis Park. The Comprehensive Plan includes goals, policies and standards, a land use plan, a community facilities plan, a transportation plan and recommendations for plan execution and is an adopted statement of City policy concerning development. The Zoning Ordinance is adopted for the purpose of carrying out the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission shall render a finding that all amendments to the Zoning Ordinance map and text are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. AMENDMENTS. A. Initiation of Proceedings. Proceedings for amendment to the Comprehensive Plan shall be initiated by: 1. A petition of the owner or owners of the actual property, the guiding of which is proposed to be changed. 2. A recommendation of the Planning Commission. 3. Action of the City Council. 4. A recommendation of the Community Development Director. B. Amendment Process: 1.

Reviewed for Administration: Adopted by the City Council October 4, 1999 City Manager Mayor Attest: City Clerk 48 City Of St. Louis Park Council Agenda Item # 8d Meeting of October 4, 1999 8d. Resolution approving the City of St. Louis Park’s participation in the relocation of railroad switches on the Canadian Pacific (CP) rail line in Minnetonka. Recommended Action: Motion to adopt the resolution approving the City of St. Louis Park’s participation in the relocation of railroad switches on the CP rail. Background At the September 13th study session, the City Council discussed the issue of railroad noise in the South Oak Hill neighborhood due to blocking operations by Twin City and Western Railroad which takes place on Canadian Pacific (CP) rail line trackage. Considerable neighborhood noise disruption results from these operations, and staff presented information which described the short-term and long-term solutions. The staff report from the work session is attached for Council reference. Per City Council direction, a resolution is attached which provides for the installation and funding of a short-term solution located in a Hopkins industrial area. Further, it provides for an agreement detailing the operations plan as well as a commitment by the City to look for a long- term solution that would result in a single CP rail line extending through the cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park. It also urges participation by Hennepin County and MnDOT in arriving at a permanent solution. Staff believes the attached resolution meets the cooperative needs of the three cities, clearly provides relief to the impacted neighborhood, and therefore, recommends approval of the resolution. The Cities of Hopkins and Minnetonka have recently approved a similar resolution. Attachments: Resolution Draft agreement with TC&W Approved by: Charles W. Meyer, City Manager 49 RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK’S PARTICIPATION IN THE RELOCATION OF RAILROAD SWITCHES ON THE CP RAIL LINE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, as follows: Section 1. Background. 1.01. Residential neighborhoods within the cities of Minnetonka and St. Louis Park are experiencing railroad operations noise problems, and the cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park all find reason to find solution to railroad issues. 1.02. Studies have been conducted by the three cities, looking for long- term solutions to railroad disruptions. Discussions have found a potential short-term solution to the residential neighborhood issue by installing a switch in a non-residential portion of Hopkins. 1.03. Noise studies have been conducted to determine the impact of adding a switch in Hopkins, and the studies indicated that the likelihood of disruptive impacts are minimal. 1.04 The City of St. Louis Park wishes to work with its neighboring communities to find both short-term and long-term solutions to resolve these noise issues. Section 2. Council Action. 2.01. The City Council authorizes the City Manager to enter into the agreements necessary to provide for the installation and use of a switch for train blocking purposes on the CP rail line in the area of the Hopkins/Minnetonka border. The City Council directs the City Manager to work with the communities of Hopkins and Minnetonka to complete an operation plan and to implement the conditions authorized in this resolution. Subject to the following conditions: 1. That the City of St. Louis Park commits a continued effort to find a long- term solution to the blocking operations that will result in the removal of the operations from the three cities. 2. That prior to the installation of the switch, the cities of Hopkins, Minnetonka, and St. Louis Park, together with Twin Cities and Western 50 Railroad Company (TC&W), will agree upon and approve an operational plan that describes the methodology and usage of the blocking operations in the three cities. It is assumed in this resolution that the new switch is used for blocking operations primarily between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and that blocking operations during other time periods be shared between Minnetonka and St. Louis Park. It is also assumed that the switching operations in Hopkins are limited to 60 cars in length. The operational plan should also address how the operations will improve traffic disruptions at Excelsior Boulevard and 5th Avenue South. A letter of commitment from the TC&W indicating its agreement and commitment to this clause shall be received by the City of St. Louis Park prior to installation of the switch. 3. The City of St. Louis Park recognizes Hopkins’ desire that the use of the switch be limited to a two-year period from the installation completion date, after which time, the city of Hopkins will consider an extension beyond the two-year limit if significant progress is being made to move all blocking operations to a location outside the cities of Hopkins, Minnetonka, and St. Louis Park. 4. The cost of the switch installation will be jointly borne by the cites of Minnetonka and St. Louis Park, with Minnetonka paying a 55% share and St. Louis Park paying a 45% share of the estimated total short-term cost of $68,000 to $74,000. 5. The City of St. Louis Park undertakes this financial participation with full expectation that these dollars will be considered as participation in the long-term solution. 6. The City of St. Louis Park strongly urges participation by MnDOT and Hennepin County to be major participants in the development of a long- term solution which would result in a single rail line through the three cities. Reviewed for Administration: Adopted by the City Council October 4, 1999 City Manager Mayor Attest: City Clerk 51 Contractual Agreement FOR: Purchase of Materials and Labor for Installation of a New Cross-Over and FOR: Revisions to the Twin Cities &Western Railroad Blocking Procedures and Canadian Pacific Railway track use within the Cities of Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, and Hopkins. The following document serves as a contractual agreement between the Cities of Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, and Hopkins; Twin Cities and Western Railroad Company (TCWR); and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). General Project Description The agreement will facilitate the purchase of materials from TCWR and labor from CPR to install a new cross-over between the CP Rail Bass Lake Spur mainline track and the parallel sidetrack at a location approximately 3600 feet west of Fifth Avenue in Hopkins, Minnesota. The agreement requires TCWR to use the new cross-over to perform its blocking operations on westbound rail cars for operations that occur between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. on all days of the week, and to evenly distribute daytime blocking operations using the three existing blocking locations. Project Objective The objective of this project is to reduce the noise levels experienced by residents living adjacent to the rail segments that are currently being used for blocking operations by TCWR. The use of the track segment in Hopkins is considered as a temporary improvement while a permanent solution is pursued. 1.0 Crossover Materials and Installation 1.1 Equipment Purchase The Cities of Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, and Hopkins agree to pay Twin Cities and Western Railroad Company a sum of $35,000 for all materials necessary to facilitate the installation of a new cross-over. This price includes delivery to the site. Any required materials that are not included in the list below will be provided by TCWR at no additional cost. • (2) Reconditioned number 9 turn-outs • Connecting track • Ties, plates, spikes, and miscellaneous hardware The turnouts and connecting track shall be the property of the Cities of Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, and Hopkins. 52 1.2 Labor for Track Installation The Cities of St. Louis Park and Minnetonka agree to pay Canadian Pacific Railway a sum of $40,000 for the labor to install the above materials. 1.3 Construction Schedule The construction will begin Monday, November 8, 1999. Project is to be completed by Monday, November 22, 1999. If the crossover is not operational by that date, the Cities of Minnetonka, St. Louis Park and Hopkins may assess liquidated damages in the amount of $500 per day to the railroad company that is deemed responsible for the delay. 1.4 Construction Obstruction of Rail Traffic At least one of the two tracks must be kept open at all times for through rail traffic. During the construction of the turnout on the mainline, through trains must use the sidetrack. TCWR Operations manager must be notified of any track closures at least 24 hours in advance. 1.5 Track Maintenance The crossover is proposed to be installed on track that is owned by Canadian Pacific Railway. Maintenance on the new crossover will be the responsibility of Canadian Pacific Railway. 2.0 Revisions to Blocking Procedures 2.1 Current Blocking Procedure Westbound TCWR trains pick-up rail cars from the river terminals in North Minneapolis or Savage or from Class 1 Railroad switching yards in St. Paul. The cars are picked up in the order that they become available, resulting in a random ordered train. The cars must be rearranged into an appropriate sequence before delivering to clients. TCWR uses switches to double track at three different locations (Figure 1). Each of these locations has adjacent residential land-use. Trains are split and re-coupled repeatedly until the train is sorted into the proper order (Figure 2). A typical blocking operation takes anywhere from 30 minutes to four hours. 2.2 Revised Blocking Procedure Blocking operations that begin after 7:00 a.m. and are completed prior to 10:00 p.m will continue to be performed as they are at present. TCWR has agreed to make efforts to evenly distribute the “daytime” blocking operations between the three existing blocking locations during the daytime hours. The term “even distribution” is undefined in terms of operation hours. Crews will vary the locations so that each of the three existing blocking locations is receiving an approximately equal number of blocking operations on a day to day basis. No single location may be used for the majority of the blocking during any one-week time interval. For blocking operations that extend beyond 10:00 p.m., or begin between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., TCWR will utilize the new crossover in Hopkins. 53 During these hours, TCWR trains of less than 60 cars in length will be blocked using the new crossover. All blocking activities will take place in the segment between Shady Oak Road and Fifth Avenue. For trains exceeding 60 cars in length, TCWR will follow one of the following two procedures: 1. Split the train into two segments at some point east of Fifth Avenue in Hopkins. One segment will be left at this point while the remaining segment will be driven to the new switch west of Fifth Avenue where it will be blocked. Once blocked, that segment will be driven west beyond the switch west of Dominick Drive and backed onto the sidetrack between Dominick Drive and the new switch. The engine will then return to the mainline and drive east to pick-up the second segment. The second segment will then be blocked at the new switch. Once this segment is blocked, the train will be carried west to Dominick Drive and connected to the first segment. The entire train will then be blocked using the Dominick Drive switch. Typically, this will only require a few cuts, and will minimize the activity within the residential area near Dominick Drive. 2. Carry the entire train west of the Dominick Drive switch, and back onto the sidetrack. Cut the train leaving one segment behind on the sidetrack between Dominick Drive and the new switch. Return to the new switch with the segment still attached to the engine, and block this segment at the new switch. Once sorted, these rail cars will be pushed to the east to the sidetrack east of the Minnehaha Creek switch. The engine will return to pick up the segment left between Dominick Drive and the new switch. Once attached, the segment will be brought back to the new switch and blocked. When the blocking is completed, this segment will be brought back and rejoined with the segment left at the Minnehaha Creek segment. At this location, the final cuts will be made to block the entire train. Additional procedures may be considered, but must be accepted in writing by all parties and added to this document as a Contract Amendment. 2.3 Reporting Progress The following reports will be prepared to assure that this project is achieving its objectives. 1. RLK-Kuusisto, Ltd. will maintain its current voice mail hotline at (612) 922-8258, ext. 128. This phone number will be distributed to residents, city staff, and railroad companies to report feedback on the operation changes. A report will be sent to all parties on the first of each month. 2. TCWR will keep a journal of its blocking operations (for both daytime and nighttime operations). A journal entry will be made for each blocking operation including a rail car consist list, the location (or procedure for nighttime operations of trains exceeding 60 cars), and the start and completion time for the operation. The journal will be sent to all parties on the first of each month. 54 3. TCWR will also keep track of any additional operational costs that result from the revisions in their blocking operations. Trains of less than 60 cars, or trains blocked between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. will not be considered. 2.4 Duration of Operational Changes The use of the proposed blocking area is limited to a two-year time period from the installation date. The Cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park may grant an extension beyond the two-year limits if significant progress is being made toward a permanent solution that will move all blocking operations to a location outside of Minnetonka, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park. 2.5 Project Non-Performance The performance of the project will be continually evaluated by the Cities of Minnetonka, Hopkins, and St. Louis Park. These parties reserve the right to abandon the project at any time if the project is not achieving its objectives. 2.6 Long-term Considerations The materials and labor costs borne by the cities of Minnetonka and St. Louis Park, totaling $75,000 will be considered as contribution to a permanent solution. It is the intention of all parties, that the two turnouts and miscellaneous materials be salvaged for use in construction of a permanent solution. The additional operational costs borne by TCWR to carry-out the short-term solution will be considered as a contribution toward a long-term plan. By signing below, parties are agreeing to all terms of this contract. ____________________________ ______________________________ David Childs, City Manager Steven Mielke, City Manager City of Minnetonka City of Hopkins ____________________________ ______________________________ Charles Meyer, City Manager William Drusch, President City of St. Louis Park Twin Cities and Western Railroad ____________________________ James Fandrich Canadian Pacific Railway 55 City of St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item # 8e* Meeting of October 4, 1999 *8e. Livable Communities Resolution to participate in the Metropolitan Council Local Housing Incentives AccountProgram in 2000 Resolution to participate in Livable Communities Local Housing Incentives Account Program in 2000 in order to qualify for grants authorized under Metropolitan Livable Communities Act of 1995. Recommende d Action: Motion to adopt Resolution electing to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Program during 2000. Background: The Council is required to adopt annually a resolution agreeing to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program in order to be eligible to receive funds authorized by the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act comprised of the Tax Base Revitalization Account, the Livable Communities Demonstration Account, and the Local Housing Incentives Account. This resolution is due to the Metropolitan Council by November 15 of each year. The City Council has adopted a resolution annually since 1996. Failure to participate also renders St. Louis Park ineligible to receive certain funds for polluted site clean up from the Department of Trade and Economic Development. In order to qualify to receive funds authorized by the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act cities are required to do the following: • Participate annually in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program (Minnesota Statutes Section 473.254) by Council resolution (due November 15 of each year). • Adopt a Housing Goals Agreement for affordable and life cycle housing by December 14, 1995. • The Metropolitan Council must adopt by resolution after a public hearing, the negotiated affordable and life cycle housing goals for cities by January 15, 1996. • The City Council must adopt a Housing Action Plan by June 15, 1996. (St. Louis Park received an extension to allow the adoption of the Strategic Plan for Housing). St. Louis Park has met all of the above requirements.

Resolution Designating Polling Places and Appointing Election Judges for the General Municipal/School District Election on November 2, 1999. Recommended Action: Motion to adopt the attached resolution designating polling places and appointing election judges for the General Municipal/School District Election on November 2, 1999. Background: Minnesota Statute 204B.21, Subd. 2 provides that election judges for precincts in a municipality shall be appointed by the governing body of the municipality and that the appointments be made at least 25 days before the election at which the election judges will serve. Section 4.05 of the City Charter provides that the City Council shall at least 25 days before each election appoint at least three qualified voters to be judges of election for each precinct. State Election Law 204B.22 requires that the minimum number of election judges is three plus one judge to demonstrate the use of the voting machine or device. The City Clerk’s office has just completed updating and verifying the City’s election judge availability list. All individuals who have previously served as an election judge, were on the list submitted to the County Auditor by the major political parties, or have expressed an interest in serving as an election judge were sent a questionnaire to: 1. Determine whether or not they wished to remain on the election judge availability list. 2. Verify existing file information regarding address, political party, etc. 3. Receive an indication of availability to work at the 1999 scheduled elections. The attached resolution contains the names of all of the individuals on the updated election judge availability list. Appointment by the City Council will allow them to serve as election judges at the General Election of November 2, 1999 and the School District Bond Referendum Election scheduled for December 1999. Election judges will be assigned to the precincts based on availability, party balance, and the number required for each election. The General Election will require assignment of the greatest number of available judges. The General Election will be conducted on Tuesday, November 2, 1999. Therefore, the City Council must appoint election judges to serve at this election. The resolution may be adopted by majority vote of the City Council.
