them to change their minds. Mr. Anderson stated they are currently in a very volatile market

new costs. Mr. Anderson stated no, they do not.

Executive summary
Title: Resolution approving a subordination agreement– Honey & Rye Bakehouse (Ward 2)
Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution approving a subordination agreement with
the Small Business Administration (SBA) in connection with the EDA’s loan to Honey & Rye
Bakehouse.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to approve the subordination agreement with the SBA
in connection with the EDA’s loan to Honey & Rye Bakehouse?
Summary: In September 2022 the EDA provided a $200,000 loan from its Revolving Loan Fund
(RLF) to Pie in the Sky Properties LLC (d/b/a Honey & Rye Bakehouse) in conjunction with larger
SBA 504 Loans provided by Vision Bank and Central Minnesota Development Corporation
(CMDC). Together, the three loans enabled businessowner, Anne Andrus, to purchase an
adjacent commercial property at 4615 Excelsior Boulevard as well as new food service
equipment. Along with the property purchase, Ms. Andrus completely renovated the building
to accommodate a coffee shop, bakery, and cooking classroom. The new space provides the
business with additional capacity to increase the production of baked goods and broaden its
retail sales within the Twin Cities.
The EDA’s RLF loan administrator, CMDC, has requested that the EDA subordinate its rights
under its RLF loan to the Small Business Administration (SBA), which is underwriting the larger
loans for the property purchase and building renovation. The proposed subordination
agreement is substantially similar to other subordination agreements the EDA has previously
approved for other projects. The proposed subordination has been reviewed by the EDA’s legal
counsel. The subordination document is available upon request from economic development
staff.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution approving the subordination agreement with the
SBA.
Financial or budget considerations: The EDA will incur nominal costs as a result of the EDA legal
counsel’s review of the agreement.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Title: Resolution approving a subordination agreement– Honey & Rye Bakehouse (Ward 2)
EDA Resolution No. 23 - ____
Resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a subordination agreement
Whereas, the Saint Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”) has
previously approved a loan in the amount of $200,000 (the “loan”) under its a Revolving Loan
Fund to Pie in the Sky Properties LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the “borrower”), to
assist in financing costs associated with the acquisition and construction of an expansion of the
Honey & Rye Bakehouse (the “project”), pursuant to a certain loan agreement between the
borrower and the EDA; and
Whereas, the borrower’s obligations to repay the loan are secured by, among other
things, a mortgage, security agreement, and fixture financing statement providing a security
interest in certain property of the borrower (the “mortgage”) and a collateral assignment of leases
and rents from the borrower (the “assignment” and with the mortgage, the “security
documents”); and
Whereas, the borrower has also received a loan from the Small Business Administration,
an agency of the United States of America (the “lender”) in the approximate amount of
$951,000, and the lender has requested that the EDA subordinate its rights under the security
documents pursuant to a subordination agreement between the EDA and the lender.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the board of commissioners (the “board”) of the St.
Louis Park Economic Development Authority as follows:
1. The board hereby approves the subordination agreement, together with any
related documents necessary in connection therewith, including but not limited to the
agreements referred to therein (collectively, the “subordination documents”), and hereby
authorizes the executive director to execute the subordination documents on behalf of the
EDA, and to carry out, on behalf of the EDA, the EDA’s obligations thereunder when all
conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied.
2. The approval hereby given to the subordination documents includes approval of
such additional details therein as may be necessary and appropriate and such modifications
thereof, deletions therefrom and additions thereto as may be necessary and appropriate and
approved by legal counsel to the EDA and by the officers authorized herein to execute said
documents prior to their execution; and said officers are hereby authorized to approve said
changes on behalf of the EDA. The execution of any instrument by the appropriate officers of the
EDA herein authorized shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of such document in
accordance with the terms hereof. This resolution shall not constitute an offer and the
subordination documents shall not be effective until the date of execution thereof as provided
herein. In the event of absence or disability of the authorized officers, any of the documents
authorized by this resolution to be executed may be executed without further act or authorization
of the board by any duly designated acting official, or by such other officer or officers of the board
as, in the opinion of legal counsel to the EDA, may act in their behalf.

Title: Resolution approving amendment to redevelopment contract – Central Park West LLC
(Ward 4)
Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution approving the seventh amendment to the
amended and restated redevelopment contract related to The West End/Central Park West.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support extending the required commencement and
completion dates of The West End/Central Park West Phase V office building (to be called
20 West End)?
Summary: The amended and restated contract for private redevelopment of May 17, 2010,
between the EDA, the city, and Duke Realty LP requires Phase V (office building #2) of The West
End/Central Park West development commence construction by April 1, 2023 and be
completed by September 30, 2024.
Based on the success of the 10 West End office building, codevelopers The Excelsior Group and
Ryan Companies remain committed to pursuing a sister building next door (Phase V). The class
A office building (to be called 20 West End) is slated to be roughly the same height as 10 West
End and approximately 325,000 square feet. However, market conditions have significantly
deteriorated since this second office building was envisioned in 2015. Construction costs have
increased exponentially and at a notably greater rate than office rental rates. Additionally,
demand for office space has declined considerably due to the increased number of employees
working remotely creating a great deal of uncertainty in the office market. In order to give the
codevelopers additional time to pre-lease 20 West End and secure equity investors, the
codevelopers have formally requested that the commencement and completion dates for
Phase V be extended to April 1, 2026 and April 1, 2028, respectively. Staff is supportive of these
extensions considering current economic and market conditions.
The EDA’s legal counsel has reviewed the proposed amendment and recommends and its
approval.
Financial or budget considerations: The proposed Phase V office building will not be receiving
tax increment financing (TIF).
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Resolution No. 23 - ______
Resolution approving a seventh amendment to amended and restated
contract for private redevelopment among the City of St. Louis Park,
the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority, Central Park
West, LLC, and related redeveloper entities
Whereas, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “authority”) is currently
administering its Redevelopment Project No. 1 ("project") within the City of St. Louis Park (the
“city”) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047 ("HRA Act"), and within the
project has established the West End Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF district”); and
Whereas, the authority, the city, and Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“Duke”) entered
into an amended and restated contract for private redevelopment dated as of May 17, 2010,
regarding redevelopment of a portion of the property within the TIF district, as subsequently
amended (as so amended, the “contract”); and
Whereas, Duke has assigned its obligations under the contract to Central Park West, LLC
(“CPW”), and certain obligations under the contract have been further assigned to other entities,
currently including Elan West End Apartments Owner, LLC; OP4 SLP, LLC (“OP4”); 10 West End,
LLC; and GS-INVREG Wayzata Owner, LLC (“Wayzata”), all pursuant to various assignment and
assumption instruments approved by the authority (such entities collectively the “redeveloper
entities”); and
Whereas, the parties to the contract have determined a need to amend the contract in
order to extend the required construction timeline for Central Park West Phase V (as defined in
the contract), and to that end have prepared a seventh amendment to amended and restated
contract for private redevelopment (the “seventh amendment”), by and among the authority, the
city, OP4 and Wayzata; and
Whereas, the board of commissioners (the “board”) of the authority has reviewed the
seventh amendment and finds that the approval and execution thereof and performance of the
authority’s obligations thereunder are in the best interest of the city and its residents.
Now therefore be it resolved that the board hereby approves the seventh amendment in
substantially the form on file with the executive director, together with any related documents
necessary in connection therewith (collectively, the “amendment documents”), and hereby
authorizes the president of the authority (the “president”) and executive director, in their

behalf of the authority, and to carry out, on behalf of the authority, the authority’s obligations
thereunder when all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied.
It is further resolved that the approval hereby given to the amendment documents

Executive summary
Title: Public hearings related to the purchase agreement and business subsidy with Sherman
Associates related to the Beltline Station market rate components (Ward 1)
Recommended action:
o Open the public hearing, take testimony, and close the hearing for the proposed
amendment to the Purchase Agreement with Beltline Station LLC.
o Open the public hearing, take testimony, and close the hearing for the proposed
Business Subsidy with Beltline Station LLC.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to hold a public hearing on the proposed purchase
agreement and business subsidy with Sherman Associates to facilitate the market rate
components of the Beltline Station Development?
Summary: Sherman Associates (“redeveloper”) seeks to acquire the 6.6-acre site at the
southeast corner of CSAH 25 and Beltline Boulevard from the EDA and construct a major
transit-oriented development with the following components:
• Seven-story mixed-use building with six levels of market rate housing (152 units) and
approximately 21,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial space.
• Four-story all affordable apartment building with 82 units and underground parking.
Including: 77 units at 60% AMI, five units at 30% AMI and 22 3-bedroom units.
• Five-story market rate apartment building with 146 units and underground parking.
• 592-stall parking ramp, including 268 park and ride stalls.
The development will exceed the inclusionary housing policy and the green building policy
requirements and will comply with the city’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policy.
In June 2022, the EDA/city council established two TIF Districts, Beltline Station 1 (related to the
affordable housing component) and Beltline Station 2 (related to the market rate housing
components), approved the Redevelopment Contract relating to Beltline Station 1, and
approved a Purchase Agreement to sell the EDA property to the redeveloper.
Financial or budget considerations: Under the proposed redevelopment contract for Beltline
Station 2, the redeveloper agrees to construct the market rate and mixed-use components of
the Beltline Station development as specified under the approved PUD. To enable the $142
million, transit-oriented development to become financially feasible and secure private
financing, Ehlers (the EDA’s financial consultant) and staff recommend approximately $18.47
million in total financial assistance from a variety of sources be provided to facilitate all
components of the Beltline Station development. Of this amount, approximately $2.84 million
could potentially be recouped by the EDA from pooled tax increment. Sherman Associates
would purchase the EDA property for $3 million at closing scheduled for mid-September 2023.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Discussion
Background
Sherman Associates (“redeveloper”) seeks to acquire the 6.6-acre site at the southeast corner
of CSAH 25 and Belt Line Boulevard from the EDA and construct a major, $142 million, transit-
oriented development with the following components:
• Seven-story mixed-use building with six levels of market rate housing (152 units) and
approximately 21,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial space.
• Four-story all affordable apartment building with 82 units and underground parking. Of
these, 77 units would be available at 60% of area median income (AMI), five units would
be available at 30% AMI and 22 units would be three-bedrooms.
• Five-story market rate apartment building with 146 units and underground parking.
• 592-stall parking ramp, including 268 park and ride stalls.
The development will exceed both the city’s inclusionary housing policy requirements (Oct.
2021) and the city’s green building policy requirements (July 2020).
Rendering of proposed Beltline Station development
City Strategic Priorities
The Beltline Station development furthers all five of the city’s strategic priorities, achieves the
vision and all the goals and objectives that were envisioned by the EDA/City Council when the
request for developers was issued in 2017, and achieves many of the goals and strategies
identified in the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
• St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in racial equity and inclusion in order to
create a more just and inclusive community for all.
o The development provides 82 all-affordable units, including five units of housing
affordable to households earning 30% of AMI and 77 units of housing affordable
to households earning 60% of AMI, including 22 three-bedroom units designed
for families.
Economic development authority meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 5a) Page 3
Title: Public hearings related to the purchase agreement and business subsidy with Sherman Associates related to

o The development includes approximately 21,000 square feet of neighborhood
commercial space providing employment opportunities for Beltline Station
residents and the surrounding neighborhood.
o The redeveloper will be adhering to the city’s DEI policy goals and quarterly
reports.
o Sherman Associates is committed to advancing equitable developments and
utilize their projects to advance social, racial, and economic equity. Specifics
regarding’s Sherman Associates commitment to creating equitable communities
is provided below.
• St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in environmental stewardship.
o The development exceeds the city’s Green Building Policy requirements as
amended July 2020. The redeveloper intends to use Enterprise Green
Communities as its design rating system for the all-affordable building (which is a
requirement of the LIHTC allocation), and SB2030/B3 for the market rate
buildings. Both rating systems meet the requirements of the green building
policy. Specific sustainable features are outlined further in this report.
o Sherman Associates developed, owns, and operates two, off-site, solar gardens
under Xcel Energy’s community solar program which it plans to access to offset
some the Beltline buildings’ energy needs. Additionally, building tenants could
subscribe to Sherman’s solar gardens for their energy needs under the
community solar program.
o The redevelopment site contains contaminated soils, and this development will
mitigate them.
o The redevelopment site does not currently contain any stormwater management
practices, which will be addressed during construction.
• St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood
oriented development.
o The development creates a compact, mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented
development immediately adjacent to the city’s Beltline Boulevard light rail
station, where a surface parking lot would have been without this development.
o The development provides 380 new residential units for St. Louis Park, including
82 all-affordable units, with five units available at 30% of AMI and 77 units
available at 60% of AMI, and 22 three-bedroom units designed for families.
o The development also provides approximately 21,000 SF of neighborhood
commercial space, creating opportunities for small businesses and employment.
• St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way
around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.
o Beltline Station development provides for a signature transit-oriented
development at the Beltline Boulevard light rail station.
o Provides multi-use trails, sidewalks, bike lanes around and through the site to
create a development that is truly designed for people first, then bikes, transit,
and then cars per the goals of the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
o The development includes approximately 21,000 square feet of neighborhood
commercial space providing employment opportunities for Beltline Station
residents (and the surrounding neighborhood) which also reduces dependence
on motorized vehicles to get to work.

o Provides 268 park and ride spaces for the Metro Greenline Extension/Southwest
Light Rail to facilitate greater light rail ridership in the metro.
• St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through
community engagement.
o There was a robust public process for the planning of the Beltline Station Area
and the rezoning process. Additionally, the developers sought input from
community members on future commercial uses within the development and
amenities related to the affordable components.
o The site is designed to facilitate social building opportunities through
placemaking. The development includes pocket parks that are privately owned,
but accessible to the public for recreation and community building.
o Public art is required to be installed, and the community will be involved with
the artist and art selection process.

Detailed summary of recent past actions
On June 6, 2022, the EDA approved the establishment of Beltline Station TIF District 1 and
Beltline Station TIF District 2; the legal mechanisms for providing tax increment financing for
the affordable housing and market rate components of the development. On June 20, 2022, the
EDA and city council approved the purchase agreement for the entire Beltline Station
redevelopment site and the contract for private redevelopment for Beltline Station 1 TIF
District pertaining to the affordable component. Sherman Associates completed a soft closing
on the financing for the affordable building in July 2022, to preserve the low-income housing
tax credit allocation. The redeveloper was originally required to complete a final close on the
all-affordable building’s financing by June 30, 2023, however the redeveloper received an
extension and is now required to close by the end of September 2023.
Since summer 2022, EDA staff, the redeveloper and its team, the Metropolitan Council, Ehlers
(the EDA’s financial consultant), and associated legal counsels have been working diligently to
complete complex contracts related to the market rate and mixed-use components of the
redevelopment and construction of the public-private parking ramp, including a reciprocal
easement and operating agreement that specifies the long-term maintenance and operations
of the ramp.
In late February 2023, the redeveloper signed term sheets with its lenders for the market rate
components of the project.
On March 20, 2023, the city approved conveyance of city-owned property at Beltline Station to
the EDA for subsequent conveyance to the redeveloper via a purchase agreement. The EDA also
approved an early start agreement and right of entry with the redeveloper to allow cleanup
activities to commence on the all-affordable building site by April 1, 2023. Cleanup activities
began on March 30, 2023.
The city’s Building and Energy department is ready to issue the building permit for the
affordable component, pending Sherman’s purchase of the EDA’s property. On May 5, 2023
building plans and permit application were submitted for the market rate components, on May
18, 2023 the building permit and plans for the mixed-use component were submitted for
review, and in early June 2023 the building permits for the parking ramp were submitted. All
components will be ready for building permit issuance by September 15, 2023.
On May 15, 2023 the EDA received a staff report related to the financial considerations of the
development, where staff and Ehlers, the EDA’s financial consultant, recommended
approximately $18.47 million in total financial assistance (including a $3 million land price
reduction, of which approximately $2.84 million could potentially be recouped by the EDA) to
be provided to facilitate all four components of the Beltline Station development. This
assistance includes a variety of sources. As negotiated, Sherman Associates would purchase the
mixed-use and market rate property from the EDA for $3 million and the affordable component
property for $1.
On June 5, 2023 the EDA approved an amendment to the purchase agreement and contract for
private development related to the affordable components to move the required closing date
Economic development authority meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 5a) Page 7
Title: Public hearings related to the purchase agreement and business subsidy with Sherman Associates related to
the Beltline Station market rate components (Ward 1)
from June 30, 2023 to September 15, 2023 to allow time for the required public bidding process
related to the construction contract for the parking ramp.
Financial considerations
Previous council actions to financially support this project included a $3.1 million bridge loan
for the land purchase for the public parking ramp, a TIF Note valued at $1.44 million, an
affordable housing trust fund loan of $618,238 for the affordable component, and a purchase
agreement to sell the affordable housing parcel for $1 (appraised at $2.46 million at the time of
sale) and to sell the market rate and mixed-use components for $6,015,001.
In February 2023, Sherman Associates locked in its financial term sheets with lenders and
started the closing process for all phases of the development. At that time, the bank
commissioned two independent appraisals for the mixed-use and market rate components of
the project. Both appraisals reflected a significant reduction in the project’s land value due to
site contamination and utility relocations. This, in addition to increases in interest rates and
increases in total construction costs, created an additional $13.75 million financial gap in the
project’s pro-forma above what was presented to the EDA in February 2023.
To solve the latest gap, the redeveloper increased its owner’s equity and is working with its
contractors to further reduce construction costs and requested additional financial assistance
from the EDA.
Staff, Ehlers, legal counsel and the redeveloper reviewed various remaining funding options and
ultimately concurred on the following proposal to close the financial gap.
• Developer to increase owner’s equity.
• Developer to seek further reductions in construction costs.
• TIF Note 1: $5.75 million assigned to the mixed-use components.
• TIF Note 2: $5.09 million assigned to the market rate components and parking, a portion
of which includes the CMAQ grant local match.
• Spending plan tax increment: $1.55 million.
• Forgiveness of the remaining balance of the EDA’s bridge loan to Sherman Associates for
the purchase of 4725 Hwy 7 (which included the land, former Vison Bank building, and
relocation of the bank); approximately $997,000.
• A reduction in the purchase price of the land from $6,015,001 to $3,000,000*.
*This amount provides for full reimbursement of the EDA’s costs associated with acquisition of
the property.
The financial assistance package was subsequently presented to the EDA in May and no
additional changes have been made since that time, with the exception of a slight reduction the
final level of recommended financial assistance to $18.47 million from $18.49 million based on
the net present value of the TIF Note.
At closing Sherman Associates would purchase the mixed-use and market rate property from
the EDA for $3 million and the affordable component property for $1. In addition, all property
that is privately owned but located within public right of way, will be quit-claimed back to the
city for public ownership and use.
Economic development authority meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 5a) Page 8
Title: Public hearings related to the purchase agreement and business subsidy with Sherman Associates related to
the Beltline Station market rate components (Ward 1)
The total amount of direct financial assistance proposed for the market rate and mixed-use
components is $13.39 million. This includes two TIF Notes totaling $10.84 million (including the
EDA’s $2.9 million CMAQ grant local match for the park and ride spaces), $1.554 million of
pooled tax increment from other TIF districts, and forgiveness of the remaining $997,000
balance of Sherman’s bridge loan with the EDA.
Reflecting two recent appraisals there is also a $3,015,000 reduction in the purchase price of
the EDA property, which is shown below as a land write-down. The value of the land dropped
considerably since 2017, when original negotiations between the EDA and developer occurred,
and the banks will not provide financing for a higher land purchase price.

Title: Public hearings related to the purchase agreement and business subsidy with Sherman Associates related to
the Beltline Station market rate components (Ward 1)
For more information on the specifics regarding the recommended financial assistance, please
see the EDA staff report from May 15, 2023. Please note, the total project financial assistance
provided in the May 15, 2023 report was shown as $18.49 million. Based on the net present
value of the TIF Note, the final level of recommended financial assistance is $18.47 million.
The amount of financial assistance recommended is reflective of the assistance necessary to
facilitate a large, multiphase development with a structured public parking component, that is
being constructed concurrently.
Present considerations
Staff and EDA legal counsel recommend the EDA hold a public hearing on the reduced purchase
price of the property. The purchase agreement approved in June 2022 contemplated a
purchase price of $6,015,001.00 for all city and EDA owned property. As explained above, staff
and Ehlers recommend a reduction of $3,015,000 to the purchase price to reflect the actual
appraised land value and to help close the project’s financial gap. Sherman Associates would
purchase the mixed-use and market rate property from the EDA for $3 million and the
affordable component property for $1.
Since the financial assistance to Beltline Mixed-Use LLC is near the business subsidy designation
threshold, Ehlers, staff, and legal counsel recommend that the EDA hold a public hearing on the
proposed business subsidy. The purpose of the business subsidy to Beltline Mixed-Use LLC is to
provide gap financing for the development to enable it to move forward.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the EDA hold two public hearings on July 17, 2023,
including a public hearing related to the purchase agreement and a second public hearing
related to the business subsidy. No formal actions are recommended at this meeting.
Next steps
At the July 24, 2023 meeting, the EDA will be asked to consider the following policy question,
“Does the EDA support the recommended level of financial assistance to move the mixed-use
and market rate components of the Beltline Station redevelopment forward to bring it to
fruition?”, and to consider the following documents for approval to enable financial and
property closings to occur prior to the affordable building’s required September 15, 2023
deadline. The documents will include:
• Market rate contract for private development
• Second amendment to purchase agreement
• Second amendment to cooperative construction agreement
• Second amendment to CMAQ subrecipient grant agreement
• Subordination agreement
• Any assignment of TIF that is required
City council will also be asked to approve a resolution of support on July 24, 2023 related to the
business subsidy, cooperative construction agreement, and CMAQ subrecipient grant
agreement.

7. Regular business.
a. First reading of an ordinance to reduce the amount of required parking for AC Hotel by
Marriott.
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the parking count was done in 2022 or 2023. Ms. Kramer
stated it was done in February or March of 2023.
Mr. Flagg, owner and operator of the hotel, stated the count did happen in February and March
of 2023, adding they did have full occupancy a couple evenings this year, on weekends.
Councilmember Brausen asked when occupancy will be back to pre-pandemic levels. Mr. Flagg
stated they are already over pre-pandemic levels and this hotel is one of the most successful in
the region.
Mayor Spano stated the council does get regular reports from Discover St. Louis Park and
generally they have said that 2019 is still the benchmark used and 2024 will be the official year
for when they believe their numbers will show the pandemic will be behind them.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to approve
first reading of an ordinance to reduce the amount of required parking for AC Hotel by Marriott.
The motion passed 7-0.
b. First reading of an ordinance adjusting allowable hours for construction.
Mr. Pivec presented the staff report.
Councilmember Rog stated this was a concern she had been hearing from residents near the
schools, as well as others hearing construction noise on a summer evening. She is pleased to
hear this but would have liked to see an earlier stop time. She thanked staff for their work on
this issue.
Councilmember Rog asked how holidays are being defined. Mr. Skallet explained weekends are
the same as holidays, so the allowable hours would be 9 am to 8 pm. He also noted holidays are
defined to follow city-recognized holidays.
Mayor Spano asked how this differs from a construction project vs. someone who may be a
woodworker or hobbyist that may work on wood. Mr. Pivec stated it is based on the impact
when it creates noise, and not the activity itself.
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of May 15, 2023
Councilmember Brausen asked if this enforcement process is complaint driven. Mr. Pivec stated
that is correct. Councilmember Brausen stated he regrets this does not include the use of all
power tools after hours.
Mayor Spano added this is a good opportunity to engage neighbors and let them know if you
will be working on a construction project.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to approve first
reading of an ordinance to adjust allowable hours for construction.
The motion passed 7-0.
c. First reading of amendments to the tenant protection ordinance.
Ms. Olson presented the staff report.
Councilmember Budd asked about the formula and if it goes up over time. Ms. Olson stated
that is correct, and added it is tied to the rent at 60% AMI and that is recalculated annually and
typically goes up. She added it also considers uniform relocation assistance rates, which may
not change annually, but can be recalculated.
Councilmember Rog asked if these uniform benefit relocation numbers are national numbers or
vary by state. Ms. Olson stated they are national, but 60% AMI rent is local.
Councilmember Rog stated this is a valuable ordinance, although it does not keep people in
their homes. She added it provides some amount of space to figure out next steps. She was
dismayed to learn 18 properties that were previously NOAH properties have changed hands
and rents have been increased.
Ms. Olson stated we do know that 18 properties have been required to comply with the
ordinance, but that does not necessarily mean that all 18 properties are no longer NOAH or that
they have increased their rents beyond 60% AMI or rescreening. She continued this does mean
if they do those things, they do need to provide relocation funds.
Councilmember Brausen noted the city will have a housing study done soon, so this would be
useful information to have, adding he is supportive of the amendments.
It was moved by Councilmember Mohamed, seconded by Councilmember Budd, to approve first
reading of an ordinance to amend the tenant protection ordinance.
The motion passed 7-0.
d. Resolution approving 2023 – 2028 organics recycling collection contract.
Ms. Fisher presented the staff report.
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of May 15, 2023
Councilmember Budd asked if this was a 48% increase and if that is over what was expected
and/or over what the city currently pays.
Ms. Fisher stated the new 5-year contract with Republic is a $3.3 million increase from the
current organics contract, noting this is a 90% increase for organics only.
Councilmember Budd asked if this continues to still be the lowest option by a substantial
amount. Ms. Fisher answered yes, noting Republic was the lowest bidder and the next highest
was approximately $1.5 million more.
Councilmember Budd asked how many contractors the city has now and how many will the city
have in October. Ms. Fisher stated currently the city has one contractor, and if this contractor is
approved, the city will have 2 contractors and potentially a third contractor. She stated it would
be the same number of trucks on the road, but they would be working for different companies.
Councilmember Rog stated there will be a local and regional call center for problems. She asked
how that might affect the user experience. Ms. Fisher stated it is a different experience than
what the city currently has, adding staff will work with the vendor closely to ensure residents
do not notice any differences in customer service.
Councilmember Brausen thanked staff for their work. He noted residents should prepare for a
significant increase in their organics recycling costs. He stated this is unfortunate since the city
is working to get more residents to do organics recycling, noting that this at least a third of all
household waste.
Councilmember Brausen stated there are a couple alternatives for residents to lower this cost –
by buying less, cooking less, serving smaller portions, saving leftovers, and working toward zero
food waste. He noted each year 119 billion pounds of food is wasted in the US and Europe
which equates to 130 billion meals at a cost of $409 billion. He noted nearly 40% of all food in
the US is wasted, adding this is wrong on so many levels, especially when there is so much food
insecurity in the city, state, country and the world. He stated the average family can reduce
their food waste by better planning, smaller servings, and good eating habits. He encouraged all
residents to consider this information.
Councilmember Brausen stated backyard composting will also save money, adding it is easy and
creates compost for gardens, noting he has done this for years. He stated they use a sealed
container next to the sink which empties into the compost container in the garage. He
encouraged all to save money by being more mindful.
Mayor Spano stated he appreciates the organics collections and composting of waste in the
city.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to adopt
Resolution No. 23-074 approving 2023 – 2028 organics recycling collection.
The motion passed 7-0.

Minutes: 4b
Unofficial minutes
City council special study session
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
May 15, 2023
The meeting convened at 7:35 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Sue Budd, Yolanda Farris, Lynette
Dumalag, Nadia Mohamed and Margaret Rog.
Councilmembers absent: none.
Staff present: City manager (Ms. Keller), deputy city manager (Ms. Walsh), engineering director
(Ms. Heiser), building and energy director (Mr. Hoffman), community development director
(Ms. Barton), race, equity, and inclusion director (Ms. Guess), administrative services director
(Ms. Brodeen), city clerk (Ms. Kennedy), elections & civic engagement coordinator (Mr. Sund)
Guests: none.
1. Community and civic engagement system kick off.
Mr. Sund presented the staff report.
Councilmember Rog asked about boards and commissions members and if everything is status
quo while this is all being reviewed. Ms. Kennedy stated all board and commission members
whose term expires in May will be automatically extended to Sept. 1. This will allow time for the
results the consultant analysis to be presented and considered in future plans.
2. Engagement strategies for city council meetings
The council participated in a purpose mapping exercise related to the desired goals and outcomes
of public participation in their meetings.
Councilmember Rog noted residents have approached her with issues they want the council to
consider, and it can be very hard for councilmembers to find time and space to carry these issues
forward. She suggested it might be better to create opportunities for residents to present their
ideas to council.
Ms. Kennedy encouraged the council to think about what outcomes they are trying to achieve
and let that dictate the strategy. She noted implementing an open public comment period is one
strategy. If the council’s goals are to provide the public more access to council during meetings,
that could be an effective tool. However, if the goals are centered on providing the public with
opportunities for meaningful interaction with council, to help people feel heard or to better
understand their role in the decision-making process, there may be more effective strategies that
could be used to achieve those outcomes.
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 2
Title: City council special study session minutes of May 15, 2023
Mayor Spano stated he wants to figure out a way to hear from people of color and to ensure that
opportunities for public comment are meaningful and productive.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she would like to try strategies that would allow council to hear
and deliver a more thoughtful answer to residents in the moment.
Councilmember Brausen stated that can be a difficult approach to facilitate. He added the council
relies on staff, who are generally the subject matter experts, and good at answering questions
that may come up during meetings.
Councilmember Dumalag asked her colleagues if an open public comment and discussion period
would help advance the decisions that council needs to make. She stated it is hard to anticipate
what the public might say and added it’s also helpful to her to be able to pause, discuss and make
decisions after reflection on what she heard.
Ms. Kennedy stated she is hearing a ton of great ideas related to strategy. She asked the council
to focus on goals and outcomes so staff can develop strategies to help get council where they
want to go.
Councilmember Rog stated a goal she has is to help more residents understand local government
and how to participate. She noted the city website does not feel user friendly and thinks the city
is not maximizing that opportunity for public engagement.
Councilmember Mohamed suggested finding more creative ways to engage and inform younger
people on the work being done.
Mayor Spano stated he would like a goal or outcome to have better informed community
members.
Mr. Sund explained staff will review the feedback council provided, noting this framework will
help to guide future engagement strategies. Ms. Kennedy added meaningful change will take
some time to implement and gauge effectiveness, but this will hold staff and council accountable
for goals and strategies related to public participation in council meetings.
3. Neighborhood revitalization grant program.
Mr. Sund presented the report.
Mayor Spano agreed to collaborating with the HRC, and acknowledged the work done on
developing boards and commissions by the former mayor. He is interested in this system work
and asked if other boards or commissions might also be involved in these conversations as well.
Mr. Sund stated this is just a recommendation and council is free to work with or seek feedback
from others.
Councilmember Rog supported engaging the HRC in this way. She added this current system
really works in her neighborhood association, which provides a pathway to leadership and for
young people to be exposed to volunteering, as well as neighborhood pride and belonging. She
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 3
Title: City council special study session minutes of May 15, 2023
added the sense of partnership neighborhood leaders feel with the city is also positive, as well as
the grant program itself. She stated she would want to make sure those impacted would be part
of what the HRC is seeing. Ms. Kennedy stated that is a great example of people sharing
knowledge so other neighborhoods can see and learn about effective strategies that are resulting
in positive outcomes.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she is in favor of engaging with neighborhood associations and
the HRC as well. She stated if the council does, however, work with the HRC, it may set a
precedent that the council work with all the commissions. She added she is in support of giving
them meaningful work and making the best use of their time.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she supports this as well. She added when thinking about
systems work, this is helpful to have the HRC weigh in. She suggested utilizing city parks for events
and as a good gathering space for meetings.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is also supportive of the recommendation and would like to
see the Cedar Manor Neighborhood not divided by Cedar Lake Road, which makes it difficult for
folks on either side of the road to work together.
Councilmember Farris stated she is supportive and would like to see more opportunities for the
community to work together as this is what people like to do.
Mayor Spano stated this is very individual, and how much passion and coordination a person is
willing to take on with a project like this differs. He stated he likes the fact there is some variation,
but it is important to have this pipeline for moving people into leadership also, while striking a
balance.
Councilmember Brausen noted it is national police week and thanked the city officers for all that
they do for the city.
The meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m.

a. Resolution approving the final plans and specifications and authorizing bidding
documents for Dakota Park infrastructure improvements (project no. 2122-1806)
Councilmember Rog stated she was not able to participate in the study session on this item. She
noted the footbridge that has been there for 30 years was identified as structurally unsound,
and a plan was put in place to replace it. She added she has since realized the footbridge is
needed by those using the park, and children using the bridge to get to school. She stated she
appreciated the study staff gathered of community input on replacing this with a much larger
and more expensive structure or create a new way to navigate through the park.
Councilmember Rog stated the results showed that many valued the bridge and wanted it to
stay and that they would still use and enjoy the park with or without the bridge.
Councilmember Rog noted the cost of replacing the bridge is $550,000 and the bridge would be
much more significant in size and gravity of the structure over a very small stormwater basin.
She stated while it is conflicting for her to hear the comments of public and those that wanted
it to stay, she is now in agreement with staff’s recommendation to forego replacement of the
bridge and would like to see if a crossing could be created that is ADA accessible. She supported
staff recommendations and the council on the realignment of the trail.

Executive summary
Title: First reading of ordinance relating to floodplain regulations
Recommended action: Motion to adopt first reading of an ordinance approving amendments
to chapter 36 of the city code pertaining to floodplain regulations and set second reading for
August 7, 2023.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support the proposed ordinance amendments?
Summary: The proposed ordinance amends existing regulations to clarify that all service
utilities, including mechanical and heating equipment must be elevated to the regulatory flood
protection elevation, which is defined as two feet above the flood elevation.
The proposed ordinance amends two sections to clarify that “utilities” means electrical and
mechanical equipment. The amendment also removes the option to place the equipment
below the regulatory flood protection elevation if it is floodproofed.
Background: This clarification is requested by the agency reviewing the city’s participation in
the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System (CRS) program. CRS is a
voluntary program for cities. Successful participation results in lower flood insurance premiums
for property owners in the city. The program reduces insurance premiums by 10%
(approximately $450) annually. The deduction is automatically applied, but residents should
contact their insurance agent to confirm. St. Louis Park was accepted into this program in May
of 2019.
Continued participation in the CRS program requires annual submittal of documentation and an
audit every five years. The city completed its first audit in June 2023. They found the city
complies and is in good standing. They requested the city update the floodplain ordinance to
match newly established CRS model ordinance language requiring service utilities to be
elevated to a minimum of two feet above the flood elevation.
The proposed ordinance meets the CRS floodplain ordinance requirement. The language
clarifies existing language and does not add additional regulations to property owners.

Ordinance regarding amendment to the floodplain district
The City of St. Louis Park does ordain:
Whereas, the city, began participating in the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program
Community Rating System (CRS) on May 1, 2019, and
Whereas, the city desires to continue participating in the CRS program because it results
in lower flood insurance premiums for St. Louis Park property owners, and
Whereas, continued participation in the CRS program requires clarification to the city’s
floodplain ordinance.
Whereas, the planning commission conducted a public hearing on this ordinance on July
5, 2023 and recommended the city council adopt this ordinance, and
Whereas, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the planning
commission (case no. 23-07-ZA), and
Now, therefore be it resolved that the following amendments shall be made to Chapter
36 of the City Code pertaining to zoning:
Section 1. Floodway district – service utilities. Chapter 36-296(d)(4) of the St. Louis Park
City Code is hereby amended to add the following underlined text and delete the following
struck-out text:
d. Service utilities, such as electrical and mechanical heating equipment and ductwork, within these
structures must be elevated to or above the regulatory flood protection elevation or properly
floodproofed;
Section 2. Flood fringe district. Chapter 36-297(b) of the St. Louis Park City Code is hereby
amended to delete the struck-out language and to add the following underlined text:
(6) All service utilities, including electrical and mechanical equipment and ductwork, must be
elevated to or above the regulatory flood protection elevationor water-tight to prevent

Title: Resolution approving amendment to redevelopment contract – Central Park West LLC
(Ward 4)
Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution approving the seventh amendment to the
amended and restated redevelopment contract related to The West End/Central Park West.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support extending the required commencement and
completion dates of The West End/Central Park West Phase V office building (to be called
20 West End)?
Summary: The amended and restated contract for private redevelopment of May 17, 2010,
between the EDA, the city, and Duke Realty LP requires Phase V (office building #2) of The West
End/Central Park West development commence construction by April 1, 2023 and be
completed by September 30, 2024.
Based on the success of the 10 West End office building, codevelopers The Excelsior Group and
Ryan Companies remain committed to pursuing a sister building next door (Phase V). The class
A office building (to be called 20 West End) is slated to be roughly the same height as 10 West
End and approximately 325,000 square feet. However, market conditions have significantly
deteriorated since this second office building was envisioned in 2015. Construction costs have
increased exponentially and at a notably greater rate than office rental rates. Additionally,
demand for office space has declined considerably due to the increased number of employees
working remotely creating a great deal of uncertainty in the office market. In order to give the
codevelopers additional time to prelease 20 West End and secure equity investors, the
codevelopers have formally requested that the commencement and completion dates for
Phase V be extended to April 1, 2026 and April 1, 2028, respectively. Staff is supportive of these

Resolution No. 23 - ______
Resolution approving a seventh amendment to amended and restated
contract for private redevelopment among the City of St. Louis Park,
the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority, Central Park
West, LLC, and related redeveloper entities
Whereas, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “authority”) is currently
administering its Redevelopment Project No. 1 ("project") within the City of St. Louis Park (the
“city”) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047 ("HRA Act"), and within the
project has established the West End Tax Increment Financing District (“TIF district”); and
Whereas, the authority, the city, and Duke Realty Limited Partnership (“Duke”) entered
into an amended and restated contract for private redevelopment dated as of May 17, 2010,
regarding redevelopment of a portion of the property within the TIF district, as subsequently

Executive summary
Title: Authorize sale of real property at 1639 Utah Drive
Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution approving sale of real property at 1639 Utah
Drive to Anthony and Tamara Nugteren, the owners of the adjacent parcel at 1637 Utah Drive.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support the sale of 1639 Utah Drive to the adjacent
property owners of 1637 Utah Drive?
Summary: 1639 Utah Drive is a very small parcel (750 square feet) adjacent to Utah Pond. The
city acquired the parcel through tax forfeiture from Hennepin County in 1982. In late 2022,
residents contacted the city about a well on the parcel that stopped working. The well and its
pump had been operated by residents in the area and the city had been unaware of its
presence. This resulted in an investigation of the well and its history, along with its current
condition and future use. After careful consideration and in cooperation with Minnesota
Department of Health, it was decided the well needed to be sealed and not to restore its
operation.
Public works department staff engaged with the neighbors and Ward 4 City Council Member
Tim Brausen to inform them of the city’s investigation and decision. Most recently, a
neighborhood informational open house was held on May 2, 2023. Subsequently, the city
sealed the well and removed a shed that was over the well.
City staff find the parcel serves no public purpose as it does not have access to a roadway, and
it is unbuildable as a standalone property. For these reasons, city staff recommend the parcel
be sold to the adjacent property owners at 1637 Utah Drive for the assessed market value of
$800. The only condition staff recommend is for the city parcel to be combined with the buyers’
adjacent lot for tax purposes. The resulting combined lot would be treated as one property and
helps reduce the risk of the small landlocked parcel from going tax forfeit again in the future. It
would also benefit the buyers by restoring their lot to how it was originally plotted and giving
them more backyard space and flexibility to build an accessory building on their lot.
Financial or budget considerations: This is not a budgeted item. The proceeds from the sale will
offset closing costs and the parcel will no longer be tax exempt.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Resolution No. 23 -____
Resolution approving sale of real property
Whereas, the city is the owner of certain real property located at 1639 Utah Drive, in
the City of St. Louis Park, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota, and is legally described as
follows:
East 30 feet of South 25 feet Lot 7, Block 2, Second Country Club Addition of
Westwood Hills [PID 06.117.21.44.0029], which conveyance is recorded with the
Hennepin County Recorder as document no. 4701733 (the “property”); and
Whereas, Anthony A. Nugteren and Tamara L. Nugteren (“buyers”) are the owners of
that certain real property located at 1637 Utah Drive, in the City of St. Louis Park, County of
Hennepin, State of Minnesota [PID 06.117.21.44.0030], which is adjacent to the property; and
Whereas, the city is proposing to sell property to the buyers for $800.00;
Whereas, the city has determined that the property is not needed by the city for any
public purpose; that selling the property is in the best interests of the city; and is willing to sell
the property pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain purchase agreement that is
presented for city council approval; and
Whereas, Minnesota Statutes § 462.356, subd. 2, requires that the planning commission
review the city’s proposed sale of real property for compliance with the comprehensive plan and
to report to the city council in writing its findings; and
Whereas, Minnesota Statutes § 462.356, subd. 2, further provides for an exception from
the requirement for review by the planning commission upon 2/3 vote of the city council
dispensing with the requirement and finding that the acquisition or disposal of the real property
has no relationship to the comprehensive municipal plan.
Now therefore be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,
that:
1. The conveyance of the property has no relationship to the comprehensive
municipal plan and review by the planning commission of the acquisition of the subject property is
hereby dispensed with.
2. The buyers’ offer of $800.00 for purchase of the property from the department
from the city is hereby accepted.
3. The mayor and city manager are authorized and directed to execute all documents
and take all appropriate measures necessary to effectuate the conveyance of the Property,
including but not limited to the execution of any and all documents necessary to transfer title to
the buyers.
4. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

Copy of neighborhood meeting notice
April 18, 2023
Residents:
In late 2022, residents contacted the city about a well on city-owned property at 1639 Utah
Ave. S. The well and its pump had been operated by residents in the area and the city had been
unaware of its presence. This resulted in an investigation of the well and its history, along with
its current condition and future.
After careful consideration and in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Health
(MDH), the city has decided the well will be removed and sealed and won’t be made
operational again. Here’s why:
• The well poses a potential risk to the safety of drinking water for all St. Louis Park
residents, since the well penetrates multiple aquifers from which the city draws its
drinking water. This multi-aquifer construction provides a pathway for contamination
and doesn’t meet today’s well code standards. For this reason alone, the city can’t
responsibly allow this well to be put back into operation.
• The well is not a responsible use of limited natural resources. Aquifer levels have been
slowly decreasing around the metro area and have not been refilling at the rates
previously seen. This means we all must be thoughtful about the use of water to
preserve the ability to provide safe, clean drinking water.
All costs associated with removing and sealing the well, including the exploration costs already
incurred, will be paid by the city. Work will take place this summer, to be completed by the end
of August 2023.
In the absence of the well and pump, over time the pond will revert to its natural wetland state.
We understand this decision will result in a change to the landscape around your homes, since
the well has made the year-round pond near your homes possible. The city is committed to
working with you so that the area remains attractive for your enjoyment, although in a
different state than before.
You’re invited to attend an open house to learn more:
May 2, 2023, from 4:30 – 6 p.m.
Westwood Hills Nature Center – Willow Room
8300 W. Franklin Ave., St. Louis Park
City staff will be on hand to discuss the history of the well, the timeline for removing and
sealing the well and plans to facilitate the change from a pond to a wetland. On this latter
process, we welcome your input and involvement and hope you will be part of planning for this
change.

Title: Approve 2023-2028 yard waste collection contract
Recommended action: Motion to adopt a resolution designating Waste Container Systems
(WCS), LLC as the contractor for residential yard waste collection and authorizing execution of a
contract.
Policy consideration: Does council support entering into a contract with WCS for residential
yard waste collection services?
Summary: At the June 5, 2023 special study session, council gave staff direction to negotiate
the residential yard waste collection contract.
Staff negotiated the contract for yard waste with Waste Container Systems. The contract will be
from October 1, 2023 to December 3, 2028. The five-year cost is estimated to be $5,500,000 for
yard waste collection services. This was the lowest cost proposal for weekly yard waste
collection by an estimated $3.4 million over the contract term.
Financial or budget considerations: All costs from the city contracting for residential yard
waste collection are associated with the solid waste enterprise fund. The final contract amounts
are higher than in previous years. Staff will bring rate increase options to the council for
consideration this fall.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.

Title: Approve 2023-2028 yard waste collection contract
Discussion
Background: At the November 14, 2022, study session, staff provided a written report outlining
the existing solid waste program, including contract timeframe and steps needed to execute
the next contract.
At the November 28, 2022, study session, staff spoke with council regarding the solid waste
collection request for proposals (RFP). In consideration of rising labor and equipment costs, no
significant changes were made to the RFP to avoid respondents needing additional resources
(i.e. staffing or equipment) to provide collection. Instead, the focus was placed on ensuring
consistent services for the city’s well-established organized collection program, with an
emphasis of splitting work between multiple haulers based on material collected.
Council authorized staff to solicit proposals for 2023 – 2028 residential garbage, recycling,
organics and yard waste collection at the December 19, 2022 council meeting.
At the February 27, 2023, study session, staff spoke with the council about the proposals that
were received and evaluation of proposals. Following the discussion, council provided staff with
the following direction:
• Negotiate 5-year contracts with Buckingham for collection of garbage, Eureka Recycling
for recycling and Republic for organics.
• Reject yard waste proposals and issue a new request for proposals for yard waste
services only.
On March 2, 2023, Eureka Recycling notified the city that they would be withdrawing their
proposal for recycling collection. At that time, staff began negotiations with the council’s next
choice, Buckingham, for recycling collection.
At the March 20, 2023 council meeting, council rejected the yard waste proposals and
authorized staff to issue a new request for proposals for yard waste services only. The yard
waste request for proposals was issued on March 31. Two residential yard waste collection
service proposals were received by the due date on April 28, 2023.
At the April 17, 2023 council meeting, council authorized the execution of a contract for
residential garbage and recycling collection services with The Buckingham Companies for the
term of October 1, 2023 to December 3, 2028.
Staff originally intended on bringing the residential organics recycling collection contract to
council at the same time. However, upon review of final contract numbers, staff and the
proposer determined that further discussion was needed to clarify the method for determining
household rates charged to the city for organics recycling collection in the language being
negotiated in the contract.

Title: Approve 2023-2028 yard waste collection contract
At the May 15, 2023 council meeting, council authorized the execution of a contract for
residential organics collection services with Republic Services for the term of October 1, 2023 to
December 3, 2028.
At the June 5, 2023 special study session, council gave staff direction to negotiate the
residential yard waste collection contract with Waste Container Systems.
Contract Terms and Conditions: The following are major components of the contract.
General
• Contract length is five years, from October 1, 2023 to December 3, 2028.
• Collection days of the week will not change.
• Contractor will provide residents with educational tags for improper set outs.
• Contractor will use the city’s electronic database for tracking customer issues.
• City will assess penalties for contract non-compliance.
• City may terminate the contract upon 30 days written notice for failure to perform.
• Contractors will indemnify and hold harmless the city against claims, losses,
expenses, etc.
• Contractor will submit certificates of insurance and financial guarantee, as required
by the city.
Yard waste
• Yard waste collection will remain weekly, collected in resident-owned containers,
compostable bags (paper or certified compostable plastic) and bundles.
• WCS will use an on-site supervisor and local customer service staff to handle
collection issues.
• WCS will use diesel fueled rear-load trucks for collection.
• Yard waste will be delivered to the city’s brush drop-off site and transferred to a
commercial composting facility.
Next steps: Below are the major steps needed for implementing the new garbage, recycling,
organics, and yard waste contracts:
Item Completion Date
Yard waste collection contract approved by council July 2023
Contractor procures equipment April – Sept. 2023
Staff conducts public education outreach with residents May – Oct. 2023

Title: Approve 2023-2028 yard waste collection contract
Resolution No. 23-____
Resolution designating service provider and authorizing contract for residential
yard waste collection services
Whereas the city reviewed, studied, and discussed desired residential yard waste
collection services; and
Whereas on December 22, 2022, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued for the city’s
residential garbage, recycling, organics recycling and yard waste collection services to ACE Solid
Waste, Aspen Waste, Buckingham Companies, Dick’s Sanitation, Eureka Recycling, Lakeshore
Recycling Systems, Republic Services, Tennis Sanitation, Walter’s Recycling & Refuse, Vierkant
Disposal, Waste Container Systems and Waste Management; and
Whereas on January 23, 2023, the city reviewed the proposals received from
Buckingham Companies, Eureka Recycling, Republic Services and Waste Management for
residential garbage, recycling, organics recycling and yard waste collection services; and
Whereas on March 20, 2023, the city council determined that the proposals received for
yard waste collection services did not meet the needs of the city and rejected the proposals;
and
Whereas on March 31, 2023, a new RFP was issued for the city’s residential yard waste
collection services to Aspen Waste, Better Futures of MN, Curbside Waste, Dick’s Sanitation,
Haul Star, Lakeshore Recycling Systems, Republic Services, Tennis Sanitation, Walter’s Recycling
& Refuse, Vierkant Disposal, Waste Container Systems and Waste Management; and
Whereas on April 28, 2023, the city reviewed the proposals received from Curbside
Waste and Waste Container Systems for yard waste collection services; and
Whereas on June 5, 2023, the city council determined that the proposal received from
Waste Container Systems for yard waste collection services is in the best interest of the city for
residential yard waste collection services; and
Now therefore be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,

waste collection in the City of St Louis Park, subject to the execution of a contract.
2) The mayor and city manager are hereby authorized, on behalf of the city, to execute a five-

Case No: 23-02-CUP
Ms. Kramer presented the report.
Commissioner Divecha asked staff to explain why the city requires a CUP for this vs.
making certain things acceptable or not acceptable.
Ms. Kramer stated in general more intense uses have potential to have higher effects on
the community, adding the CUP process allows staff and the council to make sure there
are no problems with traffic, noise or pollution, and hours of use, among other things.
Mr. Walther added these items that fall within the intensity classification are items that
come up frequently during site plan reviews, adding this approach in the code created
the logic for when additional public notice and public process for city approvals of a
development is warranted.
Chair Weber asked if this might include a business that wants to stay open later also.
Ms. Kramer stated yes, hours of operation are one of the factors considered in
determining the intensity classification.

Title: Planning commission meeting minutes of April 12, 2023
Commissioner Beneke asked if the impervious surface is what is driving this particular
CUP. Ms. Kramer stated yes. Commissioner Beneke asked if it is unusual to have an
intensity classification of 6 in the C-1 zoning district. Ms. Kramer stated she was not sure
how many properties are intensity class 6, but it is not unique to this property.
Commissioner Youngquist asked if there will be more landscaping added in light of the
additional impervious surface, in order to mitigate this. Ms. Kramer stated the applicant
is improving the landscaping still meets the minimum requirements for tree and shrub
plantings, despite the reduction in green space.
Commissioner Divecha asked what the conditions of approval are. Ms. Kramer explained
the conditions listed in the staff report, which are general conditions that apply to most
planning applications such as allowed construction hours, keeping the construction site
clear of debris, etc.
Commissioner Merten asked if there is a building setback requirement. Ms. Kramer
stated yes a 5-foot yard is required and the site plan meets that.
Chair Weber opened the public hearing.
Mr. Schaffer, the architect, stated they are making a vast improvement to the building,
which was built originally in the mid-80s as a Pizza Hut. He noted the building still
resembles the former use, and they are hoping the new addition will change that and
modernize the building as well. He also noted it only increases the size of the dental
office by one chair, and the landscaping will be enhanced and cleaned up.

Commissioner Beneke noted as a representative of the school district, single-unit houses
and owner-occupied housing should be preserved as they are more likely to be occupied by
families with children than apartments or duplexes.
Commissioner Youngquist noted single-unit houses used to create far more students than
multi-family homes, but that was before cities had such a problem with affordable housing,
adding this may have changed over time.
Commissioner Beneke added he then would like to see some studies on this issue to inform
future policy decisions that may result in removing existing single-unit houses.
Commissioner Eckholm stated if all areas allowed to build apartments, did in fact build
them, there would have been more built on Park Place Blvd area by now. He stated he
thinks construction will start to slow down now and added he does not agree with the idea
that the more places allowed to build apartments, will actually all build them. He added if
this happens over 100 years, then that is just reasonable and gradual growth over time.
Commissioner Eckholm stated if only single-unit houses are allowed, then there will be no
changes, and the single-unit houses will become 10 times more expensive because there
will be no place for that demand for growth to go.
Commissioner Beneke stated there must be affordability so folks can still get into owner-
occupied, single-unit housing within St. Louis Park.

Title: Planning commission study session minutes of April 19, 2023
Commissioner Youngquist added the lot sizes do not actually allow for many apartment
buildings to line up along Minnetonka Blvd.
Mr. Miller asked the commissioners how long the housing types in the Minnetonka Blvd
corridor should extend. From France to Ottawa or to Highway 100. The consensus was to
Highway 100 with more density at the east end.
The commission discussed how far from the street the corridors housing districts should
extend. Should it include only the adjacent lots, extend to a parallel alley where present, or
extend to the parallel street when present.
Commissioner Eckholm stated he could see a problem if there were a full block and possible
friction with neighborhoods, so possibly a half-block would be more appropriate. He added
though it might be situational.
Ms. Trapp noted areas on the map that are half-block areas, and asked if commissioners
thought apartments are appropriate across the street from single-unit houses, with the
street as a break between them, or if it is best to have an alley or street as a buffer or break
between them.
Commissioner Youngquist stated this is situational, depending on the street, such as
Minnetonka Blvd or Louisiana Ave.
Mr. Walther noted the impacts to single-unit housing will be something to review,
especially when looking at scale, and when will it be compatible and incompatible.
Commissioner Eckholm noted it may be more appropriate for more density around
community parks as opposed to neighborhood parks. Commissioner Youngquist added folks
who live in multi-family housing might not have access to green space, so including a park is
a good idea. She added that the housing around the Westwood Hills Nature Center may
need to remain as a low scale housing type due to the predominate single-unit housing
adjacent to it.
Mr. Miller asked the commissioners to think about a mix of housing in other neighborhoods
on the map, and if there could be a mix of low and high rise.
Ms. Trapp stated this discussion will help in setting up a framework for the zoning corridors,
and rationale to be used in each area.
She noted the residential districts and started the discussion on the mix of housing types,
such as a district with high-rise or low-rise, and another with single-family homes, and
looking at the possibility of three districts. She stated this will be a starting point only and
then evaluation can occur as the process moves forward.
She stated they are renaming districts also as N1, N2, N3 for reference.
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 8c) Page 3
Title: Planning commission study session minutes of April 19, 2023
Commissioner Divecha stated she likes the proposal, but she worries the homes in N1 will
not be triplexes, however added this is a helpful clarification.
Commissioner Youngquist noted some roads are curved because they are navigating around
sensitive natural features such as wetlands, creeks, ponds and lakes and that is why they
are built that way, while other may only be because of the later era and style that was
preferred when they developed.
Commissioner Eckholm noted areas where low-rise could be possible, and other areas just a
few blocks off Minnetonka Blvd where low-rise would not be appropriate.
Commissioner Beneke stated townhomes are owner-occupied, where apartments are not.
He added he would like to see the city incentivize the development of condominiums also.
Mr. Miller stated any and all housing types can be rented and could be within the same
zone, and the zoning does not control the ownership type.
Commissioner Eckholm added he would prefer to manage performance standards to
establish conditions on where low rises can appear, as opposed to just removing them
entirely.
Mr. Morrison confirmed low-rise apartments could have more restrictions than smaller
housing types such as single-unit or townhomes.
Ms. Trapp stated crafting the standards for the districts will be most important, and how all
the standards work together, meeting the commission’s vision, and still being realistic so
lots are buildable at the end.
Ms. Trapp explained some of the history of zoning districts within the city from 1932. Noting
that two-unit dwellings were allowed widely in St. Louis Park until the mid-1940s. She noted
changes over time, and that proposes changes considered in this set of updates is allowing
something that has been allowed in the past.
Commissioner Divecha asked if there are building code regulations in terms of lot area. Ms.
Trapp stated that she is not aware of any. Mr. Walther agreed and added that building
codes do not require setbacks, rather the rules of the type of construction change based on
the proximity of the building to the lot lines and types of uses occupying the buildings.
Mr. Morrison also noted impacts to tree canopy and solar access need to be considered
when discussing lot sizes and building types.
Mr. Walther noted parking requirements for single-unit houses, and parking restrictions,
that will need to be reviewed also.
The commissioners discussed setbacks related to houses and garages, and lot size.
Ms. Trapp noted different housing types within the same district, and asked if there are
concerns with setback, building heights next to homes.
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 8c) Page 4
Title: Planning commission study session minutes of April 19, 2023
Commissioner Eckholm stated his biggest concern is where N1 and N2 meet. He noted in
N1, there is agreement they can be next to each other, but when N2 is adjacent to N1, then
a mid-rise may be next to a house, or low-rise. He stated there may be some conditions in
N2 to control how it interact with N1 in certain cases. He added he is not as concerned
about N2 and N3.
Ms. Trapp stated this could be done by house type vs. district.
Commissioner Eckholm added he is not concerned as much about height as he is about
everyone being okay with the gradual increase in intensity use.
Commissioner Eckholm stated there are two districts where high rises will be allowed and
asked if it makes sense to allow low rises in there as well, in other words should low-rises be
prohibited or should a minimum housing type and height be required. He noted maybe the
definition of high rise could be changed to 6-story.
Commissioner Divecha also noted the regional trails within the city and if additional housing
types can be situated around these resources.
Commissioner Eckholm agreed and noted as the bike network and design quality of
infrastructure expands, along with great signage, that will create potential to connect
people.
Ms. Trapp stated next steps include creating purpose statements, working on districts, and
starting a checklist.
Mr. Walther stated the May 17th meeting will cover further discussions on this topic.

1. Call to order – roll call
2. Approval of minutes – April 12, 2023, and April 19, 2023
Commissioner Salzer made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Youngquist to approve
the minutes of April 12, 2023, and April 19, 2023, as presented. The motion passed
unanimously.
3. Hearings
3a. AC Hotel by Marriott planned unit development amendment - 5075 Wayzata Blvd
Applicant: Christopher Flagg, on behalf of TPI Hospitality
Case No: 23-02-PUD
Mr. Walther presented the report. The applicant requests the parking requirement to be
reduced from 189 to 129 stalls. Mr. Walther stated parking demand will be met with this
reduced number of stalls based on the experience of operating for five years and the
data provided by the hotel manager and applicant.
Commissioner Divecha asked why this is being done now. Mr. Walther stated because
there is a new owner of the 10 West End office building where the off-site parking is
hosted and a disagreement between the hotel owner operator and the new parking
ramp owner about the 60 unreserved parking spaces. This is an opportunity to right-size
the parking requirement and resolve this issue.
Commissioner Youngquist asked if the 189 parking spaces is what the zoning code
requires. Mr. Walther stated yes, and city staff were reluctant to require fewer stalls five
years ago, because it was unclear what impact the restaurant would have on parking
demand. The restaurant has had much impact, and staff now support the change. He
added the reduction in parking will still satisfy the City of Golden Valley’s parking
formulas, which require fewer stalls than St. Louis Park’s code.
Chair Weber opened the public hearing.
Mr. Flagg stated he is available for questions.
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 8d) Page 2
Title: Planning commission meeting minutes of May 3, 2023
Commissioner Divecha asked what the benefit is of releasing these parking spots.
Mr. Flagg stated there was a recent transaction at the neighboring office building and
new management. He noted there was a disagreement in interpretation of how the 60
stalls are managed and charged, and in speaking with the new owners, this approach
would resolve the matter for all parties.
Commissioner Salzer asked about the methodology of exhibit 3. Mr. Flagg stated that is
correct and that staff counts during the time period showed that the off-site 10 West
End parking stalls – both the 50 reserved spaces and the 60 unreserved spaces – are
rarely used. He noted there are many hotel guests that arrive by ride share or buses to
the hotel and parking demand is less than 1 per room.
Commissioner Salzer asked if there is any on-street parking. Mr. Walther stated no there
is none available in that area, and the surrounding residential properties tightly manage
their parking.
Commissioner Merten asked if events are held at the hotel. Mr. Flagg stated there is a
conference room that can hold 10-12 people, so they only host small group meetings.
Chair Weber closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Youngquist stated she appreciated staff’s clarifications and the data
provided by the applicant and she will support this PUD.
Commissioner Youngquist made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Salzer, to
approve the PUD as presented and subject to the conditions in the staff report. The
motion passed unanimously.
3b. Corsa Floodplain conditional use permit
Applicant: Eric Ryan, on behalf of OPUS Development Company
Case No: 23-04-CUP
Mr. Morrison presented the report.
Commissioner Salzer asked about the units of measurement shown on the screen. Mr.
Morrison explained the elevations are presents are elevation (feet) above sea level. The
difference between the official FEMA mapped elevation and the modeled elevation is
0.7 feet.
Commissioner Salzer asked how the Atlas 14 rainfall data applies here. Mr. Morrison
stated it will not have an impact on the CUP, because the first floor elevation is still two
feet above the 1% chance flood elevation in the modeling.
Commissioner Merten asked for explanation on the 15 feet of fill. Mr. Morrison clarified
that the code would allow the fill in the flood plain to extend 15 feet horizontally from
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 8d) Page 3
Title: Planning commission meeting minutes of May 3, 2023
the building so the first floor elevation and the area 15 feet around the building are both
2 feet above the flood plain elevation.
Commissioner Divecha asked why staff recommends the 15-foot amendment not be
completed. Mr. Morrison stated the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has
amended their model ordinance to retract the 15-foot requirement to minimize the fill
in the flood plan. In this instance, it also minimizes impacts to the public sidewalk and
street and the impacts to the building accessibility from the public sidewalk. Mr.
Walther added the development provides compensatory flood storage for the fill that
was placed in the flood plain to maintain storage volumes.
Chair Weber asked if this requires the least amount of fill with the CUP. Mr. Morrison
stated yes.
Commissioner Merten asked if water would come from Bass Lake Preserve. Mr.
Morrison said yes and stated Bass Lake Preserve collects water from a very large storm
water drainage area starting from around Cedar Lake Road and that continues towards
Minneapolis. He added the mapping provides an estimation of where flooding might go,
noting it eventually drains to Bde Maka Ska and the Mississippi River.
Commissioner Youngquist asked about the PUD that was approved in 2021 for this area.
She asked if it is correct to say this is a technicality and that is why the commission is
now reviewing a CUP. Mr. Morrison stated that is correct, adding this has been reviewed
by city staff, the watershed district and the DNR. He stated under the city code a CUP is
required.
Commissioner Merten asked if this will take away any requirements for residents to
have flood insurance. Mr. Morrison stated that is the goal of the applicant following the
CUP process for them to request a change for their property from FEMA so that flood
insurance is not required. The property owner or the residents would still have the
choice to obtain flood insurance and at lower rates than if they were in the flood plain.
Commissioner Salzer asked if the construction impact will be at the parking area. Mr.
Morrison stated yes, the elevation at the parking ramp is 880 feet, which is lower than
the residential area.
Chair Weber opened the public hearing.
There were no comments from the public.
Chair Weber closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Youngquist made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Merten, to
approve the CUP as presented and subject to the conditions in the staff report. The
motion passed unanimously.

3c. Risor Floodplain conditional use permit
Applicant: Chesley Janso, on behalf of Roers Companies
Case No: 23-04-CUP
Mr. Morrison presented the report. He noted this application is identical to the last one.
Commissioner Divecha asked about the floor area and if all habitable areas conform to
the 2 feet above. Mr. Morrison confirmed that is correct.
Chair Weber opened the public hearing.
There were no comments from the public.
Chair Weber closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Mertens made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Youngquist, to
approve the CUP as presented and subject to the conditions in the staff report. The
motion passed unanimously.
4. Other Business - none
5. Communications
5a. Update on TOD station area planning – Mr. Walther pointed out the written report
in the staff packet. He noted the community advisory group met last week and a survey
will be sent out to the community next week, and an open house will be held on May 23
at City Hall council chambers from 4-7 p.m.
Commissioner Divecha asked how many serve on the advisory committee. Mr. Walther
stated currently it is 9 members and stated this can grow to 16 members and he is
hoping through community engagement the city will make new connections and add to
the diversity of the community advisory group membership.
Commissioner Divecha asked if commissioners can attend the open house and if there is
risk that a quorum might be present, and how it could be managed. Mr. Walther stated
that is possible, and if commissioners are interested in attending, they should send an
email to Mr. Walther. Staff would publicly post the meeting as a commission meeting
three days in advance if a quorum is likely to occur.
The next meeting is a study session on May 17.
Chair Weber noted he and Commissioner Divecha attended a meeting last week for city
boards and commissions chairs and vice chairs to meet with an outside consulting firm.
He noted a survey went out to all commissioners for their feedback as well and asked
the planning commission to please watch for it.

1. Discussion of zoning code update, phase 1
Mr. Miller and Ms. Trapp presented the report and led the discussion regarding residential
districts and standards.
Commissioner Divecha asked if the intention of the zoning district purpose statements is to
help guide the process. Mr. Walther stated purpose statements are most often referenced
with a rezoning or when working to see if a site is suitable for the district. It is also a
touchstone that guides the regulations specific to the district.
Commissioner Weber asked about density and the possibility of more of that in the future
and how to communicate that there will be more housing options. He asked about the
phrases low, mid and high-rise, and how to communicate these definitions to the public in
the most appropriate way.
Commissioner Eckholm agreed and suggested using creative descriptive language vs.
traditional city zoning terms.
Commissioner Merten asked about the distinction between group home or rooming house.
Mr. Walther stated they are similar, but they are generally distinguished by whom they
serve, the types of services provided to residents, and which agency licenses them and the
type of license required. Some group homes are not licensed by the State or Health and
Human Services and are regulated differently in the zoning code than State licensed
facilities, including separation requirements from other group homes.
Mr. Walther stated rooming houses also can serve larger groups of individuals living in the
same home.
Commissioner Divecha asked about group daycares and why they are excluded from low
density residential areas. Mr. Walther noted the city zoning allows for family daycares, and
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 8e) Page 2
Title: Planning commission study session minutes of May 17, 2023
group daycares as accessory uses within another institutional building such as a school or
church, but not as a principal use.
Commissioner Weber stated the goal is to bring more people into the city, so it would be
preferable for the districts to be structured to focus on what is wanted and allowed vs. what
is not wanted and excluded.
Commissioner Divecha noted fire stations and religious institutions are allowed in Zone 1,
but not Zone 2, which seems inconsistent, especially when looking into the future on
zoning. And if these types of uses and buildings are allowed, why not allow group daycares,
too.
Commissioner Eckholm agreed and stated even though there would be higher traffic, it
does not make sense to not allow institutions within other zones.
Mr. Miller added that increasing different uses within residential and commercial areas can
be revisited in future phases.
Ms. Trapp reviewed the city maps and noted residential blocks with and without alleys
could be treated differently when determining building types allowed or dimensional
standards.
Mr. Walther noted that there are areas where alleys were platted but never built or were
removed.
Ms. Trapp noted lot sizes as well as other site and building standards. She noted these are
complex and they will come back to the commission with more details in the future.
Commissioner Divecha asked about courtyard cottages lot size. Mr. Miller noted these lots
can be different formats and noted various examples such as the historic Milwaukee
neighborhood in Minneapolis.
The commissioners discussed the management of impervious surfaces related to water run-
off and environmental concerns. Commissioners noted that standards are intended to
provide space for trees and gardens, address climate action concerns, provide for
walkability, and to ensure the entire city is not built out.
Commissioner Weber asked if one of the goals should be affordability. If affordability is
important than does that mean fewer standards should be established or that opportunities
to increase the number of living units in a structure explored.
Commissioner Eckholm asked if pervious surfaces for patios and pavers needs to be part of
the standards, adding he would like to see more alternatives to asphalt and concrete.
Ms. Trapp stated that it can be explored but noted that over time, if the alternatives are not
maintained well, then they become impervious surfaces. For example, pervious pavers and
pavement need to be vacuumed to remove smaller material that clogs the system.
City council meeting of July 17, 2023 (Item No. 8e) Page 3
Title: Planning commission study session minutes of May 17, 2023
Commissioner Weber stated it will be important for developers to know about and
understand the city’s requirements for trees, shrubbery, and impervious surfaces.
Mr. Miller stated housing affordability and climate action will be two criteria for selecting
the measures that are best for the zoning plans.
Mr. Miller noted the direction from the commission at this time is for the consultant and
staff to proceed with developing 3 new zoning districts and recommended zoning map
changes. This information will be put together for the planning commission to review, as
well as working on community engagement over the next month or so.
Commissioner Divecha asked about discussing parking requirements in residential areas.
Mr. Walther stated this will be discussed in phase 3 of the broader process. He added
housing is the most important piece, and that’s where this will start.
Mr. Walther stated the council recently received one written report regarding the planning
commission’s progress on the zoning code update, and there is a joint discussion planned
for later this summer. This would likely occur on a Monday to coincide with the city
council’s meeting schedule.
