Policy consideration: Does the EDA support extending the required commencement and completion dates for phase III of the Parkway Residences development? Summary: The contract for private development dated May 18, 2020 between the EDA, Parkway Place, LLC., Parkway Flats, LLC., Sela Group, LLC., and Sela Investments, LLC., requires Phase III, a 73 unit market rate multifamily building, commence construction by April 30, 2024 and be completed by December 31, 2025. Adverse economic conditions since 2002 have increased the phase III development’s costs more than 40% since the date of the redevelopment contract. As a result, construction financing for multifamily developments has become more restricted, limiting the redeveloper’s ability to meet the project’s timetable set in 2020. The redeveloper remains committed to proceeding with phase III and is optimistic that interest rates and construction costs will revert to more manageable levels. As a result, the redeveloper formally requests that commencement and completion dates for phase III be extended to April 30, 2027, and April 30, 2029, respectively. It should be noted that the tax increment financing provided for the Parkway Residences development was to facilitate Building I of the multi-phase development (completed) and not for subsequent phases, including this phase. Staff supports these extensions considering current economic and market conditions. The EDA’s legal counsel has reviewed the proposed amendment and recommends its approval. Financial or budget considerations: The proposed phase III residential building will not be receiving tax increment financing (TIF) and has no effect on the Parkway Residences TIF note. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

(b) Due to certain delays, the redeveloper has requested and the authority has agreed to adopt a first amendment to contract for private development (the “first amendment”) to extend the construction commencement and completion dates for phase III.

Policy consideration: Does the EDA support Sherman Associates’ grant application to Hennepin County’s Transit Oriented Communities program to help facilitate the Beltline Station Development? Summary: In February, Hennepin County opened applications for its Transit-Oriented Communities grant program to support the creation of walkable, mixed-use, human-centered neighborhoods around high-quality transit service across Hennepin County. Sherman Associates is applying to this program to defray some of the public improvement and hard construction costs associated with its Beltline Station Development, which has experienced sizable cost increases due to adverse economic conditions. These cost increases have negatively impacted the developer’s financial proforma requiring the developer to seek additional financial assistance to bring it to fruition. Sherman Associates received planning approvals from the city council for the Beltline Station Development in April 2022, and entered into a purchase agreement and redevelopment contracts with the EDA in June 2022 and July 2023. Financial or budget considerations: This grant program does not require any financial match from the city. Sherman Associates is the grant applicant, and should funds be awarded, it will work directly with Hennepin County to administer the grant. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Senator Latz described how funds have been assigned after the legislature completed the two - year budget process last year. He noted the budget for 2024 is not likely to be large; the focus of this year’s budget will be upkeep of existing public buildings as well as public safety and water treatment issues. Rep. Kraft shared that his areas of work include climate concerns, the housing crisis along with building codes and emissions focus, and regenerative agriculture practices. He also indicated future work regarding the 6.25 million pounds of boat wrap plastic that go into landfills each year. Rep. Kraft shared his focus on mental health; specifically transgender rights and reproductive rights. Rep. Youakim also pointed out the limits of the upcoming budget. She is involved with areas including the Education Finance, Education Policy, Taxes and Ways and Means committees. She is also working on property tax cuts for nonprofit daycares who lease their building as well as other tax-related and TIF programs. Commissioner Greene chairs the rail authority committee, noting her work focuses on transportation, including the upcoming Minnetonka Boulevard project. She serves on the Metropolitan Governance Task Force and works on a Minneapolis initiative which converts hotels to affordable housing. Page 2 City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Title: Minutes of January 22, 2024 study session Metropolitan Council Representative Anjuli Cameron explained her work with the Corridor Management Committee, which involves work with the Blue Line and Green Line management committees and Southwest LRT PLACES that creates art and artistry at each station along the Southwest Light Rail line. She also sits on the Metropolitan Airports Commission and invited conversations around flight departure route revisions. She also sits on the Transit Advisory and Accessibility Committee Rep. Cameron described how the Met Council is focused on regional planning and there are opportunities for communities to weigh in. Mayor Mohamed thanked the elected representatives for their work, collaboration and specific project communication within the community. She invited Ms. Heiser to speak to the Oxford and Louisiana Area and Trunk Highway 100 infrastructure projects, noting that the roads are at the end of their useful life. Ms. Heiser explained the city’s two capital investments and plans for transportation and road improvements. The emphasis is on pedestrians, bicyclists, transit and then vehicles . She also described planning for Oxford and Louisiana Avenues regarding climate resiliency and rebuilding roads, sidewalks, and roundabouts. The health of Minnehaha Creek depends on regional stormwater treatment. Rep. Youakim recommended conversation with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed; Ms. Heiser confirmed this communication is currently taking place. Senator Latz asked for a breakdown of how these two projects are staged; Ms. Heiser responded that she would provide this information. The Oxford -Louisiana project is a two-year project with the goal of completing the area nearest the light rail station fi rst. Council Member Rog pointed out that the Highway 100 crossing project has been in progress under Connect the Park plans for a very long time. She admires the staff’s work on finding a cost-effective solution that takes advantage of existing infrastructure along with the fact that the pavement needs to be replaced. As a frequent trail user, she observed the fence near the railroad tracks is in a constant cycle of being cut and then repaired. The current proposal is a cost-effective solution and she asked that this solution be supported on the state level. Senator Latz confirmed observing the railroad crossing issue as well, as a frequent trail user himself. Council Member Dumalag referenced the Oxford Louisiana Avenue project ; she looks forward to having pedestrian access to commercial districts. She described attempting to bike this route in the past and is happy to see the creative solutions to semi-truck parking. Utilizing the Watershed District as a partner in this project is very positive as well. Ms. Keller indicated that communication with Methodist Hospital and the other established businesses in the area has highlighted the need for pedestrian access. Rep. Youakim asked if staff has had conversations with Methodist Hospital about transportation connections. Ms. Heiser responded that planning conversations have included transportation of staff between the light rail station and Methodist Hospital, and this was part of a recent Arrive and Thrive planning meeting. Page 3 City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Title: Minutes of January 22, 2024 study session Council Member Brausen noted his appreciation for the cannabis legislation. He expressed appreciation for the state’s expansion of control of quality and quantity regulation, with many businesses in St. Louis Park looking to the future of retail. Council Member Brausen referenced recycling and how plastic recycling is not being done well in St. Louis Park and nationwide. He asked the visiting legislators about setting up an incentive program and structure of authority to encourage better plastics recycling participation. Rep. Kraft asked if there was a definition of cost, whether broad or narrow, to compare the cost of recycling versus landfill. Council Member Brausen stated that conversations with staff would address this topic. Council Member Baudhuin stated he is grateful for the upcoming capital investment road projects, especially at Minnetonka Boulevard, and expressed his full support. He stated staff will need to be very proactive with communicating information to the Jewish community especially as it relates to the Eruv. He asked for up-front communication regarding construction’s potential impacts on the Eruv between sundown on Friday and sundown on Saturday, and to ensure that folks can cross the street on foot to get to synagogue on Shabbat. Commissioner Greene expressed appreciation for Council Member Baudhuin’s comments as did Council Member Rog. Council Member Rog asked Rep. Cameron to clarify what she meant by an earlier comment, where Rep. Cameron had asked to be contacted if residents are hearing things. Rep. Cameron clarified that there is currently concern about shifts in air traffic, and that feedback from constituents is important in the evaluation process by the FAA. Though the process is not yet open for public comment, the Met Council is an avenue for gathering information. Council Member Rog asked whether there has been a timeline for the feedback and decision- making process regarding the proposed air traffic reroute. Rep. Cameron stated a plan is in place but no timeline as yet. She stated any feedback from constituents can be sent to her , and responses from the FAA and guidance will be forthcoming. Council Member Rog emphasized that she and her constituents in Ward 1 want to be fully engaged in this feedback process. Rep. Cameron stated that the Met Council will keep city partners and the community informed as things develop. Council Member Rog stated the open meeting law is a priority for the city , as allowing more flexibility for city councils and other bodies would allow for greater participation. She asked the legislators for allowances on these rules. In asking for a change to open meeting law, the goal is to allow for greater flexibility , access and equity for board and commission members. Rep. Youakim asked what authority a charter city structure already has to work with other voting bodies, Ms. Keller responded that guidance from the city’s attorney is that open meeting law in St. Louis Park applies to city council and boards and commissio ns. Board members and commissioners – and other potential participants - have communicated directly that open meeting law is a barrier to even applying to participate. Page 4 City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Title: Minutes of January 22, 2024 study session Council Member Rog added the state provided St. Louis Park the flexibility to redirect unobligated pooled TIF from housing and redevelopment TIF district to go into the local housing trust fund, for the past three years. This allowed for gap financing to assist in the creation of 376 affordable units. She stated this legislation is set to end in 2026, and the city is asking that this be continued – and authority be expanded as an opportunity for all cities. Rep. Youakim responded that she carried the bill, which was accepted as a pilot project. She has reached out for assistance to make sure it is expanded statewide, and this will be a priority based on the success of the pilot project in St. Louis Park. Council Member Budd noted emergency medical services legislation has not been updated in decades. She pointed to the city’s innovation with the Community Health Alliance and asked for funding and support. Rep. Latz asked if there are currently any particular proposals under consideration. Fire Chief Koering replied that of the many proposals currently in process, there is a high focus on the MEDS task force – a Minnesota EMS delivery and sustainability task force that is working alongside the League of Minnesota Cities. He added the goal of meetings between the task force and the league was to come up with ideas to present to the legislature for action . Ideas tied to funding, staffing, innovation, and retention are being formed during ongoing meetings between industry leaders. Alongside this is the legislative task force - which has house and senate members. Legislators are engaged in listening sessions and gathering feedback across the state regarding emergency medical services across greater Minnesota. He concluded that one goal of the MEDS task force is to make sure that local units of government have a say in how emergency medical work is done. Council Member Budd brought up the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center project and stated she wants to elevate the impact that state level legislation can have. She pointed out there is much that can be done by amending the state health code to reduce barriers on refillable food and beverage containers. She asked the legislators to oppose legislation that would reduce the current minimum building and energy code standards. Council Member Budd pointed out that changing how we handle waste starts with changing how much waste we are producing. Council Member Budd raised the concern of corporate ownership of single -family homes; sharing that walking and talking with constituents about difference in upkeep and noise level led her to dig into the statistics. Of single-family homes that are owned and rented out, over one-third are owned by people who own and rent out multiple homes, which changes the community. Rep. Youakim stated this topic is also being discussed at the state level. She asked whether city ordinance has been expanded to include rental licenses required for single -family home rentals. Ms. Keller confirmed that this has been expanded in St. Louis Park. Rep. Kraft added there is a balance to be struck between licensure and restriction, and the number of rental homes is a component of what is being considered in the next legislative session. Council Member Dumalag pointed out that another reason to consider rental of single-family homes is the limited opportunity of ownership in St. Louis Park; who gets the opportunity to invest in the city through ownership. She added it would be great to have support at the state Page 5 City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Title: Minutes of January 22, 2024 study session level on this and continued evaluation. Though it is up to staff to report on corporate ownership, she asked for support on the state level. Council Member Dumalag voiced concerns about smart use of salt use, and asked whether incentives might be appropriate at this point in time. Council Member Dumalag also stressed affordable commercial land trusts, and making sure there are opportunities to encourage growth in the city. Council Member Rog thanked Commissioner Greene for supporting the potential of underground utilities on Minnetonka Boulevard. She also thanked the legislators for the Minnetonka Boulevard affordable home ownership program, which allowed for funding from the county and the Met Council as well for the construction of four twin homes. Mayor Mohamed summarized that St. Louis Park’s priority items include prohibition on discrimination for housing and rental assistance programs, and support for voucher acceptance incentives for suburban residents. She also highlighted the EMS program and local authority for cities since city governments know their residents and neighbors best. Senator Latz thanked the council for the opportunity to attend and speak, noting he has a lot of trust in the decisions made at the local level for the City of St. Louis Park. He recognized that the city council has a closer ear to the community. Rep. Kraft asked if the legislative priorities meeting between legislators and city council members should occur earlier in the year so there is time to work on the legislation prior to the start of the session. Ms. Keller responded that the suggestion will be taken into consideration, as the city’s annual processes and other organizations have agenda timelines to consider as well. 2.Minnetonka Boulevard overhead utility undergrounding discussion – Ward 1 Mr. Shamla presented the staff report, noting the policy questions are whether the city should underground electrical lines for the Minnetonka Boulevard project and, if so, how the work should be funded. Ms. Cruver presented details on the financing options, should the city decide to underground electrical lines as a part of the project. The city’s estimated cost to underground is $650,000 and $70,000 is the estimated reconnection cost for affected buildings. She discussed three funding mechanisms, including: pay for the undergrounding with borrowing (bonding), pay for the undergrounding using community requested facilities surcharges (CRFS), or pay for the undergrounding using CRFS and two-tiered charges. Council Member Brausen observed that the difference between the proposals is that the bonding option would spread the total over residents’ costs over a 10-year period and that the CRFS surcharge would spread the cost to residents over a three-year period. Ms. Cruver replied that was correct and added that the bonding option could be spread over five to ten years. She went into further detail comparing monthly and annual rates for commercial, residential and low-income-rate payers. Page 6 City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Title: Minutes of January 22, 2024 study session Council Member Rog stated she supports undergrounding electrical lines for the Minnetonka Boulevard project, adding she is grateful to staff for locating almost half of the required funding through the county. She shared that this proposal seems like the right choice. Both Council Members Dumalag and Farris voiced their support for the undergrounding proposal. Council Member Farris asked if there were drawbacks if Xcel were to assist in payments for the project. Mr. Shamla responded that the cost for undergrounding as part of upcoming work is less because the lines must be relocated no matter what. In the future, that cost would likely be greater. Council Member Baudhuin stated he is also in favor of the first policy question. He observed how the electrical poles can be an obstruction to sidewalk use and visibility between pedestrian and traffic. Council Member Budd stated she is also in favor of undergrounding, and asked how lighting is planned with fewer poles. Mr. Shamla described how standard streetlights would be installed in a staggered pattern to light the corridor to provide for bike and pedestrian traffic. Council Member Brausen and Mayor Mohamed voiced their support of the undergrounding proposal. Council Member Budd asked where renters fit into the process. Ms. Cruver explained if a renter is paying their own Xcel bill, then they would receive the charge. She added if a renter qualifies for assistance, they will receive the lower rate. Ms. Cruver observed that multi-family is considered residential and would pay the same charges as residential, but noted staff would check to be certain. Council Member Rog referenced the $70,000 charge for adjacent properties and asked for details. Ms. Cruver stated it is not a cost that is bondable or can be paid for with a surcharge. She stated it is a fee that is related to public purpose and is a utility so the city would need to look for fund balance or cash to pay for this portion of the project. Council Member Rog asked if there is a point when the city knows t he cost will not fall on residential property owners. Ms. Heiser responded that staff’s recommendation is for the city to pay for the reconnection costs. Council Member Brausen asked if additional work was needed for adjacent properties, who would be responsible for bringing properties up to code or other required obligations. Ms. Cruver replied that the homeowner would be responsible, as would be businesses located along the corridor. She added that the legal precedent set in this project is important to consider for future projects. Ms. Heiser added that it is important to see the big picture behind the any infrastructure proposal. She observed that utilities on Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Ave were undergrounded many years ago, and that Minnetonka Boulevard west of Hwy. 100 is the remaining large undergrounding project for the future, likely in the next 5-10 years. Page 7 City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Title: Minutes of January 22, 2024 study session Council Member Rog asked if additional work on residences or businesses related to the undergrounding might qualify for special assessment. Ms. Heiser stated that could be reviewed and discussed with the city attorney. Ms. Heiser offered that there are seven properties with service that are affected. Council Member Rog asked if the $68,000 carrying fee is included in the scenarios presented. Ms. Cruver confirmed the carrying fee was included in scenarios 3a and 3b and will be spread out and not an additional cost. It was the consensus of the city council to move forward with the underground utility project and to support option 3b to fund the project. Council Member Dumalag added she prefers the option that it is a shared cost. Council Member Brausen agreed he also prefers the shared cost option. Council Member Baudhuin asked if there is any protection if landlords are paying utilities themselves and then raising rents because of these costs. Ms. Cruver stated it would be important that the city communicate with residents, so they are aware if this occurs, especially for those renters that do not receive a bill with explanation included. Mayor Mohamed asked who qualifies for the lower payments. Ms. Keller stated it is based on income and family size, aligning with the state program. Ms. Heiser mentioned there is an open house for the Minnetonka Boulevard project coming up on Jan. 31, and there will be a virtual meeting option as well. Written Reports. 3.Quarterly development updated – 1st quarter 2024 4.Community and civic engagement system introduction 5.2024 Cedar Lake Road reconstruction project (4023 -1100) update – Ward 4 Council Member Brausen appreciated data on the development dashboard included in the written report. Council Member Rog noted the civic engagement written report and asked the status of the boards and commissions and next steps. Ms. Keller explained staff is planning a workshop to be held with council on the topic to discuss a plan for how to proceed and possible implications of decisions council will make. She stated they are hoping to have this workshop in the near future. Council Member Rog noted it would be helpful for the council to review public comments prior to any decisions being made. She asked if the workshop will be staff -led. Ms. Keller responded that the format is still being discussed. She thanked commissioners and council for staying with staff on this process. Council Member Brausen added on the 2024 Cedar Lake Road project written report he is supportive and noted trees will begin to be cut down in March.

Council Member Rog recognized accomplishments of CERT members over the past year including helping during city celebrations such as Parktacular and the 4th of July with traffic control, information booths, assistance during the water main break, vaccine clinics, CPR and Stop the Bleed programs. She thanked CERT members for their work and their collaboration with the City of Minneapolis as well. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 2 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting b. Recognition of Rick Beane upon retirement from parks and recreation department Ms. Walsh recognized Rick Beane on his retirement from the parks and recreation department and noted all his accomplishments over the past 21 years working with the city, especially with the Recreational Outdoor Center and Westwood Hills Nature Center. Mayor Mohamed read the resolution into the record. Mr. Beane noted his career with the city and thanked the council for helping staff build the infrastructure and the many great staff within the city and the residents of St. Louis Park. Council Member Brausen thanked Mr. Beane for many years of work on behalf of the council and the city and wished him luck in his next chapter. Council Member Budd also thanked Mr. Beane for his work and extended her appreciation. Council Member Rog added Mr. Beane leaves a great legacy and noted his incredible list of accomplishments. She also thanked him for his work on the three-family fireplace structure (known in the community as the beehive) and his work in Lilac Park, expressing her love for parks and recreation. Council Member Dumalag noted the city parks are 11.5% of the city’s landmass and thanked Mr. Beane for his work on many projects, recognizing the legacy he leaves the city. Council Member Baudhuin stated the city parks are such a wonderful part of the city, and as a member of the clergy, he appreciates the memorial bench program. Council Member Baudhuin also thanked Mr. Beane for his work in the city. Mayor Mohamed shared memories of her experience as a child at the Oak Park splash pad and thanked Mr. Beane for helping make her childhood the best in the community. c. Recognition of donations to the parks and recreation department Mayor Mohamed noted a donation from the Becky Finnigan Charitable Gift Foundation for Westwood Hills Nature Center in the amount of $12,113.71. The donation will be used for enhancing the Chris Tulley art sculpture wall at Westwood Hills Nature Center. Council Member Dumalag remarked on the area where the art installation will be and expressed her thanks for this donation in making this location more beautiful. 4. Minutes. a. Minutes of Jan. 2, 2024 city council meeting It was moved by Council Member Budd, seconded by Council Member Dumalag, to approve the Jan. 2, 2024 city council meeting minutes as presented. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 3 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting The motion passed 7-0. b. Minutes of Jan. 16, 2024 city council meeting Council Member Rog requested a revision to page 4, paragraph 3, to state: “Council Member Rog asked if some of the 40 trees can be preserved through sidewalk manipulation or other means.” It was moved by Council Member Rog, seconded by Council Member Dumalag, to approve the Jan. 16, 2023 city council meeting minutes as amended. The motion passed 7-0. 5. Consent items. a. Resolution No. 24-016 recognizing Rick Beane for his years of service b.

Resolution No. 24-022 approving 2024-2025 LELS #206 labor agreement i. Resolution No. 24-023 approving letter of non-default for Beltline Station – Ward 1 j. Resolution No. 24-024 to renew liquor license for period March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025 k. Resolution No. 24-025 accepting donations to the parks and recreation department Council Member Budd requested that consent item 5g be moved to regular business as item 7b. Council Member Farris requested to comment on item 5h. She thanked the human resources team and the bargaining group for their work on the labor agreement with the police department. She noted she has worked with the police department closely since 2016 and though there have been disagreements from time to time, the police have always been supportive, understanding and clear. She thanked the bargaining parties for keeping the community safe on behalf of herself and the council, residents, businesses, visitors, and all those the city serves. Council Member Brausen requested to comment on item 5e. He stated this is approval and order to abate hazardous building at 2519 Virginia in Ward 4. He noted this is the case of a resident found deceased in his home in April of 2023, with no heirs or family or next of kin. The city is taking responsibility for cleaning up the yard and property, which was found to be in hazardous condition and will need substantial work. He explained that once the council City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 4 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting approves this resolution, the city attorney will be able to obtain a court order to continue to clean up the property. At that point, the property will stand vacant until 2027, when it will enter tax forfeiture and be sold by Hennepin County. He remarked that the neighbors will be living next to a vacant house for three to four years and that is a failure of existing law addressing vacant properties. He proposed that St. Louis Park should petition to the League of Minnesota Cities and legislators to better remedy these types of properties. Council Member Brausen concluded that he will support the resolution. Council Member Baudhuin added that the abatement work needs to be done, and there is also the human element of this situation. The owner’s name was Bruce Jordan, he was a veteran interred at Ft. Snelling upon his passing. Council Member Baudhuin asked council to take a moment to consider the humanity of the resident who passed away alone. He honored Mr. Jordan’s name by stating “may he rest in peace”. Council Member Brausen agreed with Mr. Jordan’s legacy as a neighbor and shared that his wife would regularly stop and talk with Mr. Jordan and got to know him over the years. Council Member Rog added she was also saddened to learn that a community member had passed away and neighbors were not aware. She indicated this situation is a gentle reminder for folks to check in on their neighbors. It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Farris, to approve the consent items as revised and to move consent item 5g to regular business. The motion passed 7-0. 6. Public hearings. a. Public hearing to consider brewer’s off-sale malt liquor license for Ullsperger Brewing, LLC – Ward 4 Ms. Scott-Lerdal presented the staff report. Mayor Mohamed opened the public hearing. No speakers were present. Mayor Mohamed closed the public hearing. Council Member Brausen commented that he has been to the brewery, it is a nice place, and he is happy they are there to provide their services for the area. Council Member Rog agreed and she applauds the owner for his entrepreneurship in opening a brewery in such a unique location, adding that she has also visited the business. It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Baudhuin, to issue the brewer’s off-sale malt liquor license for Ullsperger Brewing, LLC, as presented. The motion passed 7-0. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 5 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting b. Public hearing to consider brewer’s off-sale malt liquor license for Haggard Barrel Brewing, LLC – Ward 2 Ms. Scott-Lerdal presented the staff report. Brewery President Karl Eicher was in attendance. He responded to council’s invitation to speak by saying that the owners are excited to be in St. Louis Park, in the area where they also reside. Council Member Dumalag observed that is section of Ward 2 is very spirited, and she is glad the brewery has decided to open in St. Louis Park. Council Member Rog asked if this is the business owners’ first venture into brewing. Mr. Eicher replied that he has prior experience as head brewer at Black Stack Brewing in St. Paul, among other brewing locations, in the past. Council Member Baudhuin asked for the story of the name of the brewery and its significance. Mr. Eicher stated it means “gnarly” because though it may not be as shiny as some breweries, Haggard Barrel Brewing Co. is brewer-funded and possesses a do-it-yourself attitude. Mayor Mohamed opened the public hearing. No speakers were present. Mayor Mohamed closed the public hearing. It was moved by Council Member Dumalag, seconded by Council Member Brausen, to approve brewer’s off-sale malt liquor license for Haggard Barrel Brewing, LLC, as presented. The motion passed 7-0. 7. Regular business. a. Resolutions No. 24-026 and 24-027 establishing 2024 Pavement Management project (4024-1000) - Ward 2 Mr. Wiesen presented the staff report. MaryAnn Brower of 4824 Vallacher Avenue stated she has lived in the city for 35 years. Due to ongoing issues with parking, she is asking to maintain the residential parking permits on Princeton and Vallacher Avenues. She observed that many of the businesses in this area do not have adequate parking for patrons and employees, who instead park along the street in front of her home. She has sent a letter to the council and staff about the problem because her elderly mother lives with her and does not have handicapped parking. Ms. Brower gave an additional example of the parking problem by describing how waste management workers are blocked from getting to residential trash cans when people block residential access with parked cars. Richard Lange of 3655 Huntington Avenue South stated his concern is that his block will be narrowed. He expressed concern about backing out onto the street, and asked why the city is only working on one block with this project. He stated the city should narrow the entire section which would also help with traffic calming. He said the pavement surface is rough in spots, but City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 6 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting the city should do the whole section from Excelsior Avenue to 39th Street and add a new water main as well. He added it is narrow now, and the width needs to stay at 30 feet because safety is his main concern. Tom Brower, also of 4824 Vallacher Avenue, stated there are issues with tow trucks, haulers and delivery trucks because they all park in the no parking zone and tear branches off the trees. He added they pull up next to the repair shop and block his driveway, ignoring the signs. He has tried to call the police, but law enforcement has had a hard time getting to his location because they have other issues to deal with. Mr. Brower stated the parking issue has been going on for 35 years, and the issue is bigger than cars parking there during business hours. Roxanne Lange, also of 3655 Huntington Avenue South, recalled that the pavement project was developed in 2018, and her concerns are environmental. She mentioned the pandemic and asked how this project - which will tear down trees - will help the environment. She asked if it is necessary and what safety factors are being considered, and how many injuries have happened due to projects like this. She asked that council consider the impact of this project on the environment within the city and neighborhoods. Ms. Lange pointed out that the public works department has said there is no need to replace the water main, but her main concern is the environmental impact. Council Member Dumalag asked about the Living Streets policy and noted she had heard from many residents about the narrowing of the street. She asked if there is a reason for this project recommendation from a safety and sustainability standpoint. Ms. Heiser stated the Living Streets policy was enacted by the council in 2018 and the principles of the policy are to manage traffic, slow it down, reduce impervious areas, make green spaces in the right-of-way, be effective with construction spending by building narrower streets. She stated one of the recommendations in the policy is to reduce the width of streets. Narrower streets have been proven to accomplish the Living Streets goals. Ms. Heiser added that if a water main must be replaced, they have to tear out the curb, but if the pavement alone needs replacing, workers only remove the pavement. The water main can last 100 years, but at some point, all water mains will need to be replaced. She noted these are all cost-effective practices. Council Member Dumalag noted one resident asked for the street to be narrowed down to 26 feet vs. 28 feet, which is occurring west of Inglewood Avenue, and noted this is an opportunity to take out the curb if the water main needs replacement. She noted 37 trees are slated to be removed and asked if this is a “not to exceed” number. Mr. Weisen responded that staff has worked with residents on this type of project in the past with minimal impact. Council Member Dumalag noted residents should speak to staff if this is an issue on their property. Council Member Dumalag noted permit parking that impacts 40 households in Ward 2 and asked staff to discuss utilization. Ms. Heiser stated there are 41 properties that have permitted parking on their streets and adjacent streets. She explained permit parking is needed because there is not enough space for City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 7 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting residents to utilize parking. She stated council’s direction on this was for staff to look at permitted parking as cases come up. Staff can then determine if it should be eliminated because land-use parking is a shared resource. The city does provide medical needs parking, which is different from handicapped parking, and can be installed for medical needs by the resident. Council Member Dumalag asked if anyone has reached out to staff about having issues within and outside the permit parking areas. Ms. Heiser stated there have been concerns from residents related to Princeton Avenue and there was a request to extend permit parking in the intersection. Council Member Dumalag noted there were also comments about school buses turning around in the area and asked if staff hears from police or fire. Mr. Wiesen stated he reached out to the bus company during the pilot project, and they did not foresee problems as long as parking in the intersection was not too close, but he noted staff will continue to monitor this. Council Member Baudhuin stated he is hearing a disconnect between what is best for the environment and what is safer. He shared his observation of a potential miscommunication. He asked staff to speak about these concerns further, as he wants to be sure residents’ questions are heard and answered and he is not sure he has heard the answers from staff. Mr. Wiesen replied that he hears this concern frequently and noted studies do show that narrowing of streets reduce traffic speed and increase safety, and also create a boulevard moving the sidewalk away from the street. He noted sidewalks do have a tree impact, but to make the neighborhood more walkable, they are needed, and it is a balancing act. To this point, the city has a policy to ensure that tree planting will continue where construction takes place. Ms. Heiser added other safety benefits include moving cars further away from sidewalks. Narrowing streets reduce the distance for pedestrians crossing from one side to another, and bump-outs help provide safer walking. She added with the narrower streets, cars need to take turns when coming at each other and ultimately slower is safer; promoting safety for cyclists on streets as well. Council Member Baudhuin noted that one resident had stated the water main did not need replacement and asked if that is correct. Mr. Wiesen stated public works and engineering evaluated the street on Huntington Avenue. The water main is 86 years old, so that is the challenge, with budget constraints and deciding which water mains to replace and when. Ms. Heiser added the capital plan is driven by pavement conditions. She explained how from Huntington Avenue moving north, the pavement condition was in worse shape and the water main does need replacement. The pavement condition to the south is not as bad, and with budget constraints being maximized on this project, all of Huntington Avenue cannot be completed at this time. The other section will most likely be worked on at a later date. Council Member Rog asked what specific markers indicated that this section needed to be replaced. Mr. Wiesen stated streets are evaluated once every four years to look for cracks and potholes. These are patched over time and that work is used in the evaluation of streets. Council Member Rog noted Council Member Baudhuin’s comments on street narrowing, and stated she has had similar questions. The amount of narrowing is negligible and for those who City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 8 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting had concerns previously, this has not been their experience ultimately. She observed the cost savings and the environmental benefits of using less materials is helpful. She described sidewalks which might need to be moved onto a resident’s private property, and residents are directed to reach out to staff about this. Council Member Rog asked if there is communication with residents who may not be aware of this opportunity before the trees come down. Ms. Heiser stated staff does notify residents about trees that need to be removed and added staff can look at each of the 37 trees affected by this project, and whether it may be possible to preserve a tree by taking the sidewalk behind it. Staff will reach out to those individual residents to explain that opportunity, Mr. Wiesen added that he estimates there are possibly seven or eight trees that can be saved. Council Member Rog observed a disconnect between staff reports on parking and residents’ experience concerning parking on their street, acknowledging this issue. She asked if staff would review Princeton Avenue’s parking concerns in particular. Ms. Heiser stated she cannot speak to Princeton Avenue specifically but noted she will report back to council. Council Member Rog asked how staff explains to residents when they relate their experience, but staff notes the small percentage of utilization. Ms. Heiser stated she would not be so bold to diminish the residents’ lived experience. Mr. Wiesen noted that when staff does parking counts, they look at mornings and evenings during the week and at weekends. He stated the under 30% parking was in relation to street widths, but added he does not have that information for Princeton Avenue. Council Member Rog asked why there is no parking for German Auto Works. Ms. Heiser responded that land use has existed for years and police can be called related to enforcement for parking. She noted that even though police may receive calls related to enforcing parking restrictions, they are also working with other calls that may be a higher urgency. Council Member Rog asked if there is an opportunity for more targeted parking in the area. Ms. Heiser stated if council believes street parking is a shared resource, this is why staff is making this recommendation. Council Member Rog added she shares concerns about environmental issues and that there is also a cost to not keeping streets in good repair. She shared that she does notice a different when driving in St. Louis Park versus driving in Minneapolis. Mayor Mohamed invited residents to write additional questions to staff and council regarding this project; residents will receive responses and answers to their questions. Council Member Budd asked if council does not move forward on this tonight, how would the project be affected. Mr. Wiesen stated he recommends approval of the pavement management portion so that can move forward, but noted if the council wants to delay the residential parking restrictions portion, that will not affect the construction of the project. Council Member Dumalag shared that change is hard and the city is dynamic, but we do have an obligation to our residents to make sure they have clean water, water that does not damage their property, and parking as a shared resource. In areas where permit parking exists, drivers may only park in front of their own property, which can create an opportunity for strife City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 9 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting between residents. She noted the residents on Vallacher Avenue can work with staff, but permit parking is not shared equitably and there might be other ways to address concerns. Council Member Dumalag stated one of the biggest concerns for residents she hears about is speeding and recommendations for narrowing the street are helpful. She added this project does achieve environmental sustainability with less asphalt and surface, more storm water management and with tree replacement as well. She observed that two feet might seem like a large amount of space, but noted this project will make the area safer and more walkable and she will fully support both motions. Council Member Brausen acknowledged these pavement management projects do provide disruption and apologized for the challenges. He went on to say that pavement management is also about the future, preserving and improving infrastructure and addressing future transportation needs. He summarized that the city is trying to balance needs and he will support both motions. Council Member Rog stated she will support both motions, and noted residents will be able to continue the conversation of their concerns with staff. Council Member Baudhuin thanked residents, staff and council for helping him understand this issue and project, and stated he will be supporting both motions as well. Council Member Budd recalled the work council and staff did to respond to last year’s water main issues, particularly as the council member from Ward 3 where many residents were affected. She has gained a new appreciation for the wisdom behind the pavement management and water main replacement processes and the ways they are repaired in the most economical way possible, adding that she supports both motions. Council Member Farris added she will also support both motions, pointing out that the city resident who is 95 years old and lives on Vallacher Avenue is very important, and the city wants to be sure she is safe and able to get in and out of her house. Mayor Mohamed thanked council for their questions and comments and staff also for the report. She noted this is an aging city, and maintaining and promoting it to make it safer is an opportunity we need to take. She will support both motions and thanked residents for their comments as well. It was moved by Council Member Dumalag, seconded by Council Member Brausen, to adopt Resolution No. 24-026 establishing 2024 Pavement Management project (4024-1000), approving plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisement for bids; and adopt Resolution No. 24-027 removing residential parking restrictions on Natchez, Princeton, and Vallacher Avenues. The motion passed 7-0. b. Approve joint powers agreement between police department and Hennepin County City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 10 Title: Minutes of February 5, 2024 city council meeting Council Member Budd requested to move this item from the consent agenda to regular business for discussion. She summarized that the agreement is for the program by which a social worker is embedded in the police department. She asked if there are advantages to keeping the program with Hennepin County for another two years, rather than making the position internal to the city. Chief Kruelle replied that there are advantages to continuing to work through the county. Hennepin County started the program and currently provides a licensed clinical social worker to oversee and supervise this position within the city. This support has provided consistency during times of turnover. The police department has leveraged that skillset into a full-time position since 2021. Council Member Budd confirmed that the reason for working through Hennepin County is a reason of advantage, rather than any hesitation about the benefit of the program. Chief Kruelle agreed with her statement. Council Member Budd asked for Chief Kruelle’s observation on different models of approach: one model where a social worker and medical professional respond to mental health, substance, and social service 911 calls and the second model where a social worker and law enforcement officer respond to these calls. Chief Kruelle stated the police primarily use the social worker to guide an individual through resources and align them to achieve long-term health. He added the officers that respond to these calls have a high level of skills to navigate these calls for service and the outcomes. Council Member Rog observed that when a social worker is delivering follow-up and follow- through care, outcomes post- intervention can still be a concern. Chief Kruelle confirmed that follow-through is an area where police are seeing improvement; successfully attaining tracking and response metrics since the beginning of the year through the imbedded social worker program. It was moved by Council Member Budd, seconded by Council Member Brausen, to approve joint powers agreement between police department and Hennepin County. The motion passed 7-0. 8. Communications and announcements. Ms. Walsh announced that city tennis courts are open and nets are set up due to the mild weather. Mayor Mohamed noted February is Black History month where Black Americans are honored, and she looks forward to being in the community to celebrate. Mayor Mohamed also noted Feb. 1 marked World Hijab Day and shared that she sent a video to the elementary school related to this celebration. 9. Adjournment.

Policy consideration: None Summary: On May 16, 2022, the city council awarded a contract in the amount of $5,217,582.00 to Geislinger and Sons, Inc. for the 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue Improvements project (4022-6000). The project included pavement replacement, bikeway installation, sidewalk upgrades and upsizing of the sanitary sewer main on 36th Street. The final contract amount, $5,292,433.20, is $74,851.20 (1.43%) more than the contract amount awarded. This is within the planned contingency and there are adequate funds to cover these costs. Details on the contract changes are included in the discussion section of this report. Financial or budget considerations: The final cost of the work performed by the contractor under contract no. 77-22 has been calculated as follows: Original contract (based on estimated quantities) $ 5,217,582.00 Change orders/ extra work + $ 233,515.94 Quantity underruns - $ 158,664.74 Final contract cost $ 5,292,433.20 Previous payments - $ 5,239,047.53 Balance due $ 53,385.67 This project was included in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Funding was provided by the Elmwood tax increment funds (TIF). Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably. Supporting documents: Discussion Resolution Prepared by: Joseph Shamla, engineering project manager Reviewed by: Debra Heiser, engineering director Approved by: Cindy Walsh, deputy city manager City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Page 2 Title: Resolution authorizing final payment for 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue Improvements project (4022- 6000) - Ward 2 Discussion Background: On May 16, 2022, the city council awarded a contract in the amount of $5,217,582.00 to Geislinger and Sons, Inc. for the 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue Improvements project (4022-6000). The project included the following improvements: • 36th Street from Wooddale Avenue to the bridge over Highway 100 o Pavement replacement o A reduction from 4 lanes of traffic to 3 lanes o Construction of a two-way cycle track on the south side of 36th Street o Modifications of the 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue and the 36th Street and Xenwood Avenue intersections o Replacement and upsizing of the sanitary sewer o Sidewalk upgrades to ensure ADA compliance o No changes to the existing parking restrictions • Wooddale Avenue from 36th Street to the Highway 100 on-ramp and 36th Street from Alabama Avenue to Wooddale Avenue o Pavement rehabilitation o Extension of the trail on the west side of Wooddale between Oxford Street and the Wooddale Avenue cul-de-sac o No changes to the existing parking restrictions The final contract amount, $5,292,433.20, is $74,851.20 (1.43%) more than the original contract amount. During construction, some unexpected items came up that added to the cost of the project. The additional work added to the contract increased the cost of the project by $233,515.94. The contract changes can be attributed to the following: • Sheeting to protect private utilities ($122,676.56) o While installing the 30-foot-deep sanitary sewer, the contractor encountered Lumen fiber optic lines and an Xcel Energy vault, which restricted their ability to install trench boxes to construct the new sanitary sewer. In order to complete the utility work safely, the contractor needed to install sheeting to protect the fiber lines and the vault. The sheeting could not have reasonably been anticipated at the time of the bid. • Sanitary sewer construction ($35,826.29) o A future project includes the development of the Nash Frames property. The new development would require a new sanitary sewer service. In collaboration with the developer, the city installed the new 10-inch sewer service as a part of this project. This will prevent the future development from cutting open the newly constructed street. Due to the high number of private utilities in the boulevard, the sanitary installation work required a different approach for installation, resulting in a change order. o During construction, an existing sanitary service that was in poor shape and required replacement was uncovered. A new 10-inch PVC sanitary line was installed to prevent any future repairs from cutting open the newly constructed street. Due to the high number of private utilities in the area, the sanitary installation work required a different approach for installation, resulting in a change order. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Page 3 Title: Resolution authorizing final payment for 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue Improvements project (4022- 6000) - Ward 2 o During the replacement of a 60-inch sanitary sewer manhole, it was found that the existing sanitary sewer pipe was fully encased in concrete and could not be removed without damaging the existing sewer system. This resulted in a change to the plan to install a 48-inch manhole instead. This change required a restocking fee to swap out the 60-inch manhole that was already on site. o Two existing sanitary sewer services conflicted with the new storm sewer. To resolve the conflicts, an offset of these services was installed. • Bicycle and pedestrian improvements ($35,147.28) o During construction, it was determined that additional work was required to ensure that the sidewalk, cycle track or pedestrian ramps installed complied with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. This extra work included additional concrete installation, landscape rock, tree grates and additional grading. o The salvaged Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) push buttons could not be reused at two intersections on 36th Street and new buttons were needed. In addition, two additional APS push buttons were required at 36th Street and Xenwood Avenue to comply with ADA requirements. • Restoration and traffic control ($15,374.91) o During construction, it was determined that the boulevard area between the Micro Center loading dock and Wooddale Avenue was not going to function for deliveries, so the area was restored using class 5 aggregate that could support delivery trucks. o During construction, the power to the irrigation system was damaged during the relocations of light poles. Additional work was required to reconnect the irrigation system. o Additional traffic control for lane closures was necessary to safely directional bore street lighting conduit. o Per the engineer's request, ground-in striping was added to the contract. • Street lighting ($9,918,76) o The contractor performed work at the engineer's request to correct issues with city street lighting along 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue. • Storm sewer construction ($8,538.60) o During construction, it was found that the roof drains to The Elmwood at 5605 36th Street were not reconnected to the storm sewer. Concrete panels were removed to reconnect the drains. o During storm sewer excavation, it was found that an unknown surface drain from Towerlight was connected directly to the storm sewer pipe. The engineer directed the contractor to install a new storm sewer structure at this connection point. • Watermain construction ($4,961.34) o While adjusting existing gate valves, it was found that some of the gate valves were brittle and stuck and needed to be replaced. • Cold weather concrete installation ($1,072.20) City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Page 4 Title: Resolution authorizing final payment for 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue Improvements project (4022- 6000) - Ward 2 o The contract's final completion was originally to be the end of September 2022. Due to unavoidable construction delays, the contract completion was changed to November 2022. As such, the concrete placement at the end of the project occurred when ambient temperatures were below 37 degrees Fahrenheit, requiring a colder weather plan to protect concrete placed in colder temperatures. In addition, the contract included quantity underruns, resulting in a cost decrease of $158,664.74. This can be attributed to a reduction in the amount of material needed for road base. The project design involved removing unsuitable existing material and hauling in new material to build the road base of the new street. By observation and testing during construction, it was determined that some of the existing road base met the requirements for construction, thus lowering the cost of the project for the city. Financial or budget considerations: The final cost of the work performed by the contractor under contract no. 77-22 has been calculated as follows: Original contract (based on estimated quantities) $ 5,217,582.00 Change orders/ extra work + $ 233,515.94 Quantity underruns - $ 158,664.74 Final contract cost $ 5,292,433.20 Previous payments - $ 5,239,047.53 Balance due $ 53,385.67 This project was included in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Funding was provided by the Elmwood tax increment funds (TIF). Due to the nature of our construction projects, unforeseen circumstances, and resident feedback, it is not unusual to have additional work added to our projects. To address this, when the bid is awarded, we assume a 5% contingency for all aspects of the project. The costs detailed above represent a 1.43% increase to this project. This is within the planned contingency.

Policy consideration: Should the city allow Sherman Associates and the Economic Development Authority an additional year to record the final plat for the Beltline Staton Development? Summary: Per city code, Sherman Associates and the EDA are required to record the final plat within two years after city council approval or request that the city council approve an extension. The Beltline Station Development plat will expire on April 4, 2024. The city received a written request from Sherman Associates for an extension of the plat. The developer and the EDA remain committed to the project and continue to work cooperatively to bring the Beltline Station Development to fruition. The plat must be recorded in a specific order at financial closing, which has not yet been scheduled. Staff recommend approval of a one-year extension to file the plat by April 4, 2025. A one-year extension is the typical extension period of a plat extension request and does not affect or obligate the EDA or city council to approve any amendments to the various contracts related to the Beltline Station Development. Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Policy consideration: Does the city council concur with the recommendations made for the allocation of $149,231.95 in 2024 Community Development Block Grant funds? Summary: Each year, the city receives an allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the city must decide how to use the funds. CDBG funds are distributed from HUD through Hennepin County. The city must submit its proposed uses of the allocation to Hennepin County. Prior to submittal, the city must hold a public hearing. The city has not yet received our 2024 direct allocation amount. For planning purposes Hennepin County is using the 2023 award amount of $149,231.95 for 2024. Beginning in 2018, 15% of the overall annual CDBG budget is set aside each year by Hennepin County for public service activities and awarded through a single combined, competitive request for proposals (RFP) covering all the cities in the county program. Public service activities that serve St. Louis Park may apply to the Hennepin County RFP. Staff’s recommendation for this year’s proposed use of CDBG funds reflects the city’s priorities to preserve existing affordable housing and increase affordable home ownership opportunities by allocating all CDBG funds to the low-income deferred rehab loan. Financial or budget considerations: CDBG funds allow cities discretion, within HUD guidelines, to fund projects that meet the national low-income objectives and the needs of the cities. The federal budget has not been finalized so the Hennepin County estimate of $149,231.95 may change. The 2024 CDBG year runs from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development. Supporting documents: Discussion Resolution Prepared by: Marney Olson, housing supervisor Reviewed by: Karen Barton, community development director/housing authority executive director Approved by: Kim Keller, city manager City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 6a) Page 2 Title: Public hearing and resolution approving Community Development Block Grant Discussion Background: The national objectives of the federal community development block grant (CDBG) program are to benefit low- and moderate-income persons, prevention or elimination of slum or blight, and/or to meet a particular urgent community development need. The city council has typically focused CDBG funds on improvements to the housing stock for low-income families or on affordable homeownership. The CDBG program allows for up to 15% of allocated funds to be used to fund public services. Beginning in 2018, Hennepin County set aside the public service funds to be awarded through a single combined, competitive RFP. Hennepin County advertises the RFP process and sends information to public service providers including past recipients. In the past, the city also funded rehabilitation and improvements for affordable housing providers in St. Louis Park. Federal regulations such as Davis Bacon Wage Rates and other regulatory requirements related to the use of federal funding for multifamily properties, along with St. Louis Park’s limited CDBG award, have complicated and increased the costs to fund these types of projects. This combined with the increased demand for the low-income deferred rehab loan program resulted in the city council allocating the city’s entire CDBG award to the low-income deferred rehab loan program last year (FY 2023). Present considerations: The 2024 estimated CDBG allocation is $149,231.95, which was the award amount for 2023. Staff recommend all of the FY2024 CDBG funds be allocated to the low-income deferred rehab loan administered by Hennepin County. The low-income deferred loan program is administered by Hennepin County and serves St. Louis Park homeowners with annual incomes at or below 80% area median income. The rehab focuses on improvements to address code deficiencies and deferred maintenance and provide long-term maintenance-free housing. The maximum loan amount is $30,000 and is deferred until the sale of the home or forgiven after 15 years. As of December 31, 2023, there were 119 households on the waiting list, demonstrating the need to continue allocating CDBG funds to this program. To address this growing backlog, the city budgeted an additional $300,000 in city (non CDBG) funds for this program in 2023 and again in 2024. The St. Louis Park Housing Authority board reviewed the recommended use of 2024 CDBG funds and supports the allocation as proposed. Next steps: Staff will submit all required documentation to Hennepin County by the deadline of Feb. 29, 2024.

Policy consideration: Is the proposal consistent with the comprehensive plan and does it meet zoning and subdivision codes? Summary: Joshua Aaron submitted applications proposing to construct a three-story, 36-unit market rate apartment building at 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road. The property is guided medium density residential in the comprehensive plan, which allows up to 30 units per acre and corresponds with either the R-3 two-family residence or R-4 multiple-family residence zoning districts. The request includes a rezoning from R-3 to R-4, a preliminary and final plat to combine the two unplatted parcels into one lot, and a conditional use permit for a multiple- family dwelling. The development is not subject to the green building, inclusionary, or diversity, equity and inclusion policies because the applicant is not requesting financial assistance, planned unit development approval or comprehensive plan amendment. The planning commission considered the request on Feb. 7, 2024, and voted 5-1 to recommend approval of all the applications. Around 18 people signed in at the neighborhood meeting and seven people spoke at the hearing in opposition to the project despite some remarks that they liked the look of the building. The main concerns were potential off-site parking and traffic generation; others noted potential noise from future apartment residents, light from the building, wildlife in the wetland area, tree removals and displacement of people renting one of the existing houses. Letters submitted by residents of the neighborhood are attached.

The properties have direct access to Cedar Lake Road and back up to the large wetland located south of Cedar Lake Road. There are four single-family lots in a row along the south side of Cedar Lake Road. The subject property is the easterly two properties. The city owns the property to the east of the subject property and operates a water treatment facility. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 3 Title: First reading of rezoning ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 The subject property is approximately 430 feet deep. The southerly 120 feet is wetland and floodplain leaving approximately 310 feet of upland. The land is relatively flat, except for the southerly 100 feet which has approximately 20 feet of elevation change down to the wetland. The proposal is to construct a three-story, 36-unit apartment building with one level of below grade parking. The apartments are proposed to be market rate, and will consist of: Unit Type Count Studio 3 1 bedroom 17 1 bedroom + den 7 2 bedroom 7 2 bedroom + den 2 Total count 36 Present considerations: The city is presented with a policy question of which zoning district is appropriate for this location based on comprehensive plan guidance, and quasi-judicial decisions related to the plat and conditional use permit applications. Figure 1 below illustrates the amount of discretion cities have when reviewing and approving certain land use applications. Applications listed at the top of the pyramid have the least amount of discretion and are generally objective administrative decisions. Quasi-judicial decisions in the middle of the pyramid involve determining if certain code criteria are met. The city has the most discretion when making policy-level decisions and applications listed at the bottom of the pyramid. This includes amending the zoning map and adopting or amending ordinances or policy plans. Figure 1. Pyramid of discretion (Source: League of Minnesota Cities) Rezoning. Of the three applications, the city has the most discretion regarding the request to rezone the subject properties (green lower portion of pyramid). The city’s decision cannot be arbitrary and must provide legal findings to support the decision. The subject properties are currently zoned R-3 two-family residence. This zoning district allows residential uses such as single-family and two-family dwelling units. While both existing City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 4 Title: First reading of rezoning ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 properties are improved with single-family houses, they could, at a minimum, be converted or re-built with a two-family dwelling on each parcel. The request is to rezone the subject properties to R-4 multiple-family residence to accommodate the proposed apartment building. The R-4 district allows multiple-family by conditional use permit. The maximum density allowed is 30 units per acre. The maximum density allowed for this property is 38 units. The density calculation uses the useable area of the property, meaning, it does not include the wetland/floodplain portion of the property. The proposal is for 36 dwelling units. The subject properties are guided in the comprehensive plan as RM - medium density residential, which allows densities from six to 30 units per acre. The density range accommodates both the existing R-3 and the proposed R-4 zoning districts. Therefore, an amendment to the comprehensive plan is not required. Zoning code analysis. Below is a table summarizing the zoning requirements for this project if the property is rezoned to R-4 multiple-family residence and whether the plan meets the requirements. Further details on some of the requirements are provided after the table.

The plant meets the minimum parking requirement. The zoning ordinance requires: Motor vehicle parking. •1 parking space for each studio and one-bedroom unit. •1.5 parking space for each two-bedroom unit. •An additional 5% of required parking added for guest parking. There are 43 spaces required. The plan proposes 51 parking spaces consisting of 44 underground parking spaces and seven on-site parking spaces. All 51 parking spaces are located on the site. There are three on-street parking spaces located in front of the property that were constructed with the recent Cedar Lake Road reconstruction. These three spaces were not included in the parking calculation and remain for public use. Bicycle parking. The plan provides 48 spaces consisting of 45 within the garage and three outside the building. This is enough for one bike parking space per dwelling unit, plus 10% parking spaces. This meets code requirements. Electric vehicle charging stations. The plan provides five level 2 stations and capacity for 20 future level 2 charging stations. This meets code requirements. Yards. The building meets all yard requirements. Below is an illustration depicting how far the proposed building will be from side lot lines. Factor Required Proposed Met? City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 6 Title: First reading of rezoning ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Landscaping. The city code requires one tree per dwelling unit. There are 36 dwelling units proposed, which requires 36 trees. 37 trees are proposed, nine of which are existing trees, 28 new trees are proposed. There are 21 trees on site. The applicant proposes to remove 12. The city code requires 36 new trees to be planted. The developer proposes planting 28 trees and paying cash in lieu for the remaining eight trees. Screening. A six-foot-tall privacy fence will be constructed along both side property lines. The privacy fence along the west property line will be constructed on top of a retaining wall that will add an additional two to eight feet to the height as viewed from the neighboring property. This fence will effectively screen the view of the driveway and portions of the building. Designed outdoor recreation area (DORA). The property requires at least 6,644 square feet of DORA. The project will provide 7,463 square feet. The DORA is divided into three distinct areas, each with a unique recreation opportunity. A 567 square foot amenity area is provided in the front. This area will be provided with benches and is enhanced with landscaping. A 2,224 square foot area is provided on the west side, adjacent to the building. This area will be improved with a lap pool and patio seating. The south side will be improved with a 4,672 square foot terrace that will overlook the wetland. This area will be improved with a dog run, fire pit, patio, and gaming lawn. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 7 Title: First reading of rezoning ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 A four-foot picket style fence will be constructed along the south side of the building on top of the 10-foot-tall retaining wall facing the wetland. A picket style is desired to preserve views to the wetland from the DORA south of the building and adjacent to the wetland. Stormwater. The stormwater plan was reviewed and approved by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). It was also reviewed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for impacts to the wetland and floodplain. The plan does not impact or alter the wetland or floodplain. As noted above, the building will be approximately 65 feet from the wetland edge. The MCWD requires a 20-foot wetland buffer along the edge of the wetland, so the grade will not be altered within the buffer area. Stormwater will be treated in an underground infiltration system located below the DORA area on the south side of the building. Preliminary/final plat. The subject properties are currently unplatted. The plat, to be known as Cedar Heights Estates, proposes to combine the two existing parcels into one lot. The proposed Lot 1, Block 1, will have an area of 73,866 square feet. The plat dedicates drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the site as required in the subdivision ordinance, with 10 feet along Cedar Lake Road and 5 feet along the side lot lines. There is also a drainage and utility easement over the entire south 132 feet of the lot where the wetland, floodplain, steep slopes and wetland buffer area are required to be protected. Park and trail dedication. The property has never been platted, therefore, park and trail dedication will be collected. The dedication is $1,500 per unit for parks and $225 per unit for trails. This totals $54,000 for parks and $8,100 for trails. Conditional use permit: Staff finds the project meets the general city code requirements for conditional use permits. It is consistent with the comprehensive plan, it meets or exceeds all zoning code requirements, and it does not exceed the capacity of any city utility or infrastructure, including traffic capacity for Cedar Lake Road. Cedar Lake Road was reconstructed in 2019 to meet the projected 2040 traffic capacity of 17,230. Except for the 2020 traffic count, which was impacted by COVID, traffic has been consistently measuring around 11,900 trips per day. The project is expected to have a negligible impact on those counts. Public outreach: A neighborhood meeting was conducted on Jan. 30, 2024. Eighteen people attended the meeting. Comments were discussed and are summarized in the attached letters from the residents of the neighborhood. Public hearing notices were mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the site and a sign announcing the public hearing was posted on the property. Seven people spoke at the hearing that opposed the rezoning and had concerns about the development. Planning Commission recommendation: The planning commission held the public hearing and considered the request on Feb. 7, 2024, and voted 5-1 to recommend approval of all the applications. The unofficial meeting minutes and letters regarding the applications are included as attachments.

The project is proposing to develop a new 36-unit apartment development. The project will be three stories in height over a below grade parking garage. As a part of the redevelopment, the project will be requesting a rezoning from R3 to R4 with a conditional use permit for multifamily housing. The project will also combine both parcels into a single lot via a preliminary and final plat. The development is a boutique-sized, upscale project with a crafted landscape design and refined finishes. Residential units and amenity spaces will capture scenic views to the south of the wetlands and nature from spacious patios and balconies. The project incorporates a number of sustainable features including: native plantings, water efficient irrigation and plumbing fixtures, a solar ready roof, energy efficient appliances and mechanical systems.

The two properties are currently zoned R3 Two-Family Residence. Both Parcels are designated with the Medium Density Residential criteria in the Comprehensive Plan for 2040 which allows densities up to 30 units per acre. The project is proposing to rezone the properties to R4 Multiple Family Residence. This zoning change will allow the creation of a greater density quality housing, supporting the city’s Comprehensive Plan objectives to: “…promoting quality multi-family developments, both rental and owner occupied, in appropriate locations, including near transit centers, retail and employment centers and in commercial mixed-use districts.” (St. Louis Park 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Housing Goals and Strategies - #3.) In addition, the project has a greater number of 2+ bedroom units of many contemporary rental projects allowing for more family housing options (Comprehensive Plan - Housing Goals and Strategies 4B). This project is located close to both employment centers and retail centers making walking, biking, and alternative means of transportation a viable option. It is also located next to the Cedar Lake Road bikeway and near the North Cedar Lake regional trail making it well suited for bike commuting as well.

Multifamily housing is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation for the properties as land use code RM - Medium Density Residential. The site is on Cedar Lake Road, a significant collector street and adjacent to areas of employment, retail and recreation with a Walk Score of 68. The site is adjacent to a city public works building and office development to the east and (two) single family homes to the west, where a majority of their property is a part of the wetland area. The southern portion of the property borders a wetland area. Required responses: The effect of the proposed use on the health, safety and welfare of occupants of surrounding lands: The proposed use is allowed and envisioned as medium density residential in the comprehensive plan. The property is surrounded mostly by city uses, a wetland and a major city street. The adjacency to the single-family homes to the west has the additional added buffer of nearly 50 feet, almost 4x the existing separation between buildings. The front setback is over 63 feet and also providing a buffer to the street. The effect on existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets: The proposed project is modest in scale and includes parking spaces for both residents and visitors in excess of the city requirements. Cedar Lake Road offers not only good vehicular access, but also transit bike and pedestrian opportunities. The proximity of goods and services close by will allow many options for residents other than vehicular use for work or shopping. The effect on property values in the surrounding area: The project is a high-quality apartment development with elaborate landscaping that will enhance the neighborhood and Cedar Lake Road and its bikeway and pedestrian realm. In addition, the building setbacks from the adjacent residential properties gives them the appropriate separation and privacy. The consistency of the proposed use with the principals, goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan: The project meets many of the comprehensive plan goals as stated above and is consistent with its intent. In addition to adding more quality housing to the city and meeting the objectives of the Housing Goals and Strategies of the Comprehensive Plan Items 3 & 4 – Multifamily and Residential Rental Housing topics, the development will also provide a housing choice that is between a single-family home and larger scale rental housing. It allows residents to have a modestly scaled and quality rental housing choice uncommon in recent years.

Achromatic 6013- rezoning, preliminary/final plat, and conditional use permit – 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Rd. Applicant: Joshua Aaron Case No: 24-01-Z; 24-02-S; 24-03-CUP Mr. Morrison presented the report. Chair Weber asked if the park dedication of $62,100 is paid for by the developer. Mr. Morrison stated yes that is correct. Chair Weber asked if the Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue roundabout will come down to this particular area. Mr. Morrison stated no and added this section was completed in 2019, so it will not come down as far as this area. Commissioner Divecha asked about rationale for the rezoning, and if it is in line with the comprehensive plan. Mr. Morrison stated it is in line with the comp plan which accommodates the R3 and R4 districts. Sheldon Berg, DJR Architecture, stated they are working with the developer and the owner. He pointed out various aspects of the project, noting the homes have been operated as rental homes. He stated the owner sees this as a way to bring more housing to St. Louis Park, and in City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) reading of ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road Page 41 - Ward 4Title: First line with the comp plan requirements. He noted this property covers many aspects of the comp plan requirements with walkability and bike ability as well as being near the West End. He also noted this development will have a less urban feel and also noted the wetlands area that people can enjoy. Mr. Berg also presented various views of the building, wetlands and trial area. Commissioner Youngquist asked about the privacy fencing on the east and west sides and what type of materials will be used. Mr. Berg stated it is a type of wood or metal slotted fence with privacy screening. Commissioner Youngquist asked if there will be fencing on the south side to prevent people and pets from going into the wetlands. Mr. Berg stated there is fence on the south side which will be more opaque and is a picket fence with a retaining wall. Commissioner Youngquist asked if there is a slight berm and if the landscaping will be elevated. Mr. Berg stated that is correct. Commissioner Beneke asked what the building to the east is. Mr. Berg stated the building to the east is the city water treatment building and is a 1.5 story high commercial building. Commissioner Divecha asked about the 3-story limit and if that is for the R3 or R4 zone. Mr. Morrison stated it is for the R4 district at 40 feet high. He noted R3 is more similar to R1 and R2 with 30 feet to the point of the gable. Chair Weber opened the public hearing. Gary Berscheid, 1604 Blackstone Ave., stated the traffic counts are almost maxed out vs. 2019 numbers, and noted the numbers from 2020 are very low because of the pandemic at that time, when everyone was staying home. He added peak time traffic is terrible. He noted he has been a resident of St. Louis Park for 45 years and has seen these projects which come and go and many die on the vine. He stated the proposal of moving from 8 to 36 units is one heck of a big step. He added most residents would not care it is were 8 units, and the question is how to put 36 apartments into an 8-unit piece of land which held 2 houses. He stated this is a “sardine” effect with high density and if it goes to R4, it can be done. He added across the street is all residential and that is a lot of density in a residential area. Mr. Berscheid asked if a builder buys adjoining properties and take the houses down and put a 36-unit apartment in Lake Forest or Fern Hill neighborhoods, would you allow it. He stated he doubts it, and asked why the commission wants to do this in his neighborhood. He added there are two major design flaws with the project including lack of parking, which will move parking into the neighborhood. He asked when these residents entertain, where will people park, and neighbors will have to put up with this. He stated another issue is the slippery hill when it snows at the bottom of Blackstone Avenue, and noted cars spin out and cannot get up the hill there, which will be an issue for residents of the development. He stated in the 2020 census there are 3600 people living in poverty and noted there is a great need for affordable housing, not upscale rentals that are upwards of $3000 per month. He stated this project should be denied and is too much in too small of a space, adding the only purpose is to make money for Josh at the expense of the neighborhood. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Title: First reading of ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Page 42 Thomas Peterson, 6025 Eliot View Rd., stated if the rezoning is approved, he recommends tabling the project for 1 year until the zoning is redone throughout the city. He added greenery of the building proposed is 0 and they want to put in solar which is only thing being done for climate issues. He stated this project need a green roof, 25% recycled materials, bird sanctuary and butterflies, noting other projects within the city that are all asphalt with no green areas. He added if they want to go for a high-buck building, high-buck people will go for a green building, and he feels this project should move in a whole different direction. Dominique Versini, 6101 Cedar Lake Rd., noted she does not care either way if the building is built or not, but she thinks it is too high density. She stated she has lived in St. Louis Park for 20 years and recently purchased a home in this area. She stated the project looks very generic, and identical with everyone packed together and no individuality. She stated she is concerned about the wetlands and worries about the wildlife being disrupted by people living in the building. She stated this will not be an improvement in the neighborhood. Julia Alzen, 6010 Cedar Lake Rd., noted she lives right across the street from the development. She stated they bought their home in 2019 and is concerned about traffic, and noted how long it takes her to get out of her driveway. She said people drop glass on her driveway when walking from the West End and worries this project will add to the problem. She added she also worries that people will hang out outside of the apartment building across the street from her. Sue Malk, 5912 Cedar Lake Rd., noted she has lived in the area for 15 years and is at the roundabout and the only one on the block with a driveway on that side of the road. She noted the roundabout has improved the area, but in the last year the traffic on Cedar Lake Road has picked up. She noted her home office faces the street, and now traffic is lined up way back on Cedar Lake Road waiting to get into the roundabout. She stated her concern is with 36 units that means maybe 72 cars and at certain times of the day, that is a lot of traffic, combined with a lot of walkers and bikers. She added visibility is not the greatest with the roundabout, and noted the wildlife in the area will be moved out. She added the transient population is also an issue, and personally does not what more $3000 apartments there, and would prefer townhouses with families on that land, noting more apartments will not encourage families. Todd Tills, 6019 Cedar Lake Rd., advocated for moving the project to another location. He stated he likes that St. Louis Park is growing, but the traffic and safety concerns and the wildlife being affected is a problem. He stated there is a veteran on an oxygen tank that will lose his rental home because of this project, and the landlord is lacking on upkeep of the properties. He stated as a veteran himself, he is upset that someone will be losing their home because of this project. He added St. Louis Park can pick better people to make prosperous from projects such as this. He added he would like to see this project in a different location but does not want it to force others out. City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Title: First reading of ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Page 43 Greg Alexander, 6025 Cedar Lake Rd., stated he owns the house next to the property, and added there are several historic elm trees on the lots and asked if those could be saved and not taken down. Chair Weber closed the public hearing. Commissioner Beneke stated this project is marginal and while he supports the goal of increasing density along certain corridors, in this case this project may be too big, and there is a possibility of not enough parking and overflow of parked cars into the neighborhood. He added for converting single family homes, he would like to see that in support of affordable housing, and added he is not certain this project does that. He stated he is inclined to vote against this but will listen to the other commissioner’s comments. Commissioner Eckholm stated he is generally in support of a project like this and meets a need. He noted however the treatment of the rental property resident is unfortunate and does need to be brought to the city council’s attention because it is not a criterion the planning commission can consider when voting on this project. He noted with traffic people will want to have their cars covered and there most likely will be charges for underground parking for a resident or guest. He stated he is not concerned about the number of parking slots there, and added these are market rate apartments so those moving in will move in by choice, adding it is not affordable housing, it is choice housing. He added this is a very thoughtful development and this does belong near the west end and also in an area of higher traffic routes as opposed to interior neighborhoods. He added he will support this project. Commissioner Divecha appreciated the dialogue and comments from residents. She stated she is in favor of prioritizing housing over parking. She added the traffic is a larger issue, but stated she does not see a very large change in the amount of traffic from the 2017 study even though it might be concentrated at certain times of day. She stated she recognizes this is rental but also wants to acknowledge there are single people who live in St. Louis Park also and are entitled to a place to live. She also noted the commission cannot approve or not approve a project just by how it looks and aesthetics. She stated she could see tabling this project until all rezoning is accomplished, but added the intention of rezoning is to create more opportunities for more density. She added she would like to discuss more with the developer on bike safety and also is compelled about the tree preservation and maintenance of them. Commissioner Merten stated people are not inherently evil or called to a life of crime because they rent, and the don’t need your judgement and they are not less than you because they are renters. Commissioner Eckholm stated with rezoning was made confusing in the past and because of the comprehensive plan, zoning will be brought into compliance with no R3 in the future, and with zoning for medium density. Page 44City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Title: First reading of ordinance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Commissioner Youngquist stated the zoning proposed is consistent with the long-range plans of the comprehensive plan. She stated there is a housing crisis in this country and noted MN and other states have under produced housing, while the demand has only increased, and we are trying to make up for a lack of development of housing. She added any type of housing development assists in affordability of housing. She appreciated residents speaking, but noted she will vote in favor of this project because it is consistent with the comprehensive plan and it also provides missing middle housing, which is a step between lower and higher density apartments at West End, and she is happy to see this proposed here. Chair Weber stated if the zoning is in alignment with the 2040 comp plan, then it is appropriate, and he will support it. He stated he is not in favor of tabling this until rezoning occurs. He added this would mean the commission would need to table all developments through the rest of the calendar year, which is not feasible and stated that most developments that come before the commission will not be controversial. He stated he appreciates the residents being at the public hearing and encouraged them to be in contact with their city council representatives about their concerns. He added regardless of how the planning commission votes, many times city council or the developer will rethink a project and encouraged them again to engage in public comment at the city council meeting when this is addressed. Commissioner Beneke stated he does not care as much about parking, and agreed providing more housing along a transit corridor is a good goal, but stated other goals are to have more owner occupancy in the city as well as having homes suitable for families. He added he does not think the commission should be in a rush to approve this proposal. It was moved by Commissioner Mertens, seconded by Commissioner Divecha, to approve the application to rezone 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road from R3 two-family residence to R4 multiple family residence. The motion passed 5-1 (Commissioner Beneke opposed). It was moved by Commissioner Mertens, seconded by Commissioner Youngquist, to approve the preliminary and final plat of Cedar Heights Estates with conditions recommended by staff, which includes the park and trail dedication. The motion passed 5-1 (Commissioner Beneke opposed). It was moved by Commissioner Mertens, seconded by Commissioner Divecha, to approve the application for CUP to construct a 3-story, 36-unit apartment building with the conditions as recommended by staff. The motion passed 5-1 (Commissioner Beneke opposed).

Date:Wednesday, January 31, 2024 6:22:34 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Good morning, My name is Dan Erickson. I have been a resident on Alabama Ave. S. for 34 years. Our neighborhood has changed quite a bit over that time. We now have 10 rental homes on our street. When we moved in there were 2 rental homes on our block. Being rentals means more traffic. There is no longer just two adults in each home with typically 2 cars per home. Our block has 12-15 cars parked on the street every single night. Even during the day the street is rarely clear of parked cars. If the zoning is changed, and this 36 unit apartment building is built, I feel that parking on Alabama will become even more crowded if not impossible. Having only 7 spaces for visitors and one of them is handicapped is not enough for the amount of residents.There is no parking on Cedar Lake Rd., so if all the visitor spots are full, they will be forced to park in our neighborhood. I feel that the design focused on dwelling units only and little consideration was given for where people would park when visiting family and friends who reside there. This won’t just be a holiday issue. Even I have a bible study at my house once every two months and have five additional cars parked on the street for the 2 hours we meet. This could also affect the snow plowing. Several times during the winter months our street cannot even be cleared. Too many parked cars on the street prohibit the plow from getting through. If they want to add higher density, they need to design buildings with more parking. Thank you, Dan Erickson City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Title: First reading of rezoning ordinanance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Page 47 SLP New Apartment Building Questions &Concerns: 1)Environmental concerns with the wetlands directly behind this project.What are the results of the Environmental Impact Study?Protect the green space in the city,how many trees will be lost?Impact on the animals and wildlife? 2)Traffic concerns directly in front of my house.The entrance/exit to this apartment building looks too close to Blackstone Avenue and will cause problems with people trying to take a left turn onto Cedar Lake Road from either Blackstone Avenue or the new Apartment Building.The Roundabout was put into place to help with the flow oftraffic and this could create back ups during the busy times of the day.I back into my driveway because it is easier to pull out onto Cedar Lake Road moving forward since it is a busy road.This will cause even more safety issues as I try to back into my driveway. 3)The headlights from the cars leaving the new Apartment Building look like they will be going directly into mine and Julia's homes/living rooms across the street.This will be very annoying and disruptive to our livability. 4)land Julia will be losing our privacy with the 2"and 3"stories apartments looking down into our residences. 5)This neighborhood is quiet and peaceful during the non-peak traffic times on Cedar Lake Road and I feel like we will be losing this aspect with 100+people moving in across the street.This is a big reason why I like living where I am and this will be taken away from us if this project gets pushed through. 6)The height of this 3-story building could block the sun from the south on my house.What if I want to put in Solar in the future?Will this impact the sun that I receive on my house?I don't get ice dam issues with my house since it faces south and gets sun throughout the winter.Will this cause me issues in the future? 7)Are we losing the 3 parking spaces that are on Cedar Lake Road?If so,it looks like there is only 3 above ground parking spots on this new property.This means that any family/friends visiting people in the apartment complex will be parking up and down Blackstone Avenue.This will be very disruptive and cause congestion for the people in the neighborhood.

Whereas: St Louis Park Does not need any more vacant apartment buildings.  The West End is  full of them.  Eliot  school apartments aren't even close to being full. Whereas: Traffic on Cedar Lake Road goes 40 mph still.  There's nothing to slow them down,  pull in/out with the hill, or the rise on Cedar Lake Road.  On the curve in Cedar  Lake Road the traffic pulling out out of this building will be dangerous, then put  in the snow drifts and icy conditions it will be hazards. Whereas: The left turn going west bound will slow down traffic and back up into the round  about. Whereas: With all the bikes and pedestrians using the south side of Cedar Lake Road will  only cause more safety hazards.  With the three car parking pod, it will only break the visual aspect  of the vehicles turning/out of the building. Whereas: There is parking for the 36 unit (1 ½ car per unit), thats 54 spaces for the  tenants.  What about the quests such as the football parties, families birthday  parties, and Thanksgiving/Holidays?  They have to park across Cedar Lake Road into  the neighborhood and walk across Cedar Lake Road with no cross walks with cars  zipping by at 40 mph.  Unsafe! Whereas; Vehicle trips per day can easily be 300 trips for the 50 cars.  My neighbor  averages 10 trips a day with two people.  Considering that young professionals go  in/out a lot, then add food deliveries, UPS packages, mail, friends/families, and  maintenance peoples adds up. Whereas: Green buildings requirements; Green roofs, not asphalt.  Move the evergreens trees. Solar requirements. Recycle the unused building materials. Porous driveways that recycles rain water. I could go a lot further to save out planet, instead of damaging it. Whereas: City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Title: First reading of rezoning ordinanance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Page 49 There appears to be no transparently.  There appears to be a lot of effort used to  hide the money behind the money behind this project.  The gentlemen/owner owns the  two houses to be removed.  He is not borrowing the 12 million dollars to build it. Who is the person(s) behind this project?  Whats the corporation names? Or the  individuals what will benefit from this project? Where is the profits going? Whereas: For 45 years, I am total in favor of neighborhoods that make this town great, but  not rentals or apartments.  There is a lack of community in talking to neighbors by talking and being friendly.  I have rental housing on both sides of me.  They come  and go.  Since they are renting, there is no commitment to the neighbors, the  neighborhood/community or society. Whereas: This is the zoning issues that I seen over the past four decades.  The heavy  industries in the nearby in the Industrial Park (Edgewood Ave south of Cedar Lake  Road) hours was tweeked from hours of limitations from normal business hours to a  24 hours a day/7 days a week operation. Whereas: My house meets the density of four people on a 60 foot lot.  Your new zoning plan  isn't the way forward by making the streets more narrow and by increasing the  population density with no parking options.  With more renters and transitional  people there are less neighborhood values. Whereas: The safety with the construction vehicles parking on Cedar Lake Road.  Like the  West End projects, there were trucks blocking the road with  not traffic management plan.  If on Cedar Lake Road closing one lane with the construction  trucks/equipment will be a nightmare. Whereas: There was a very short notice to the neighborhood.  This process has been going on  for months yet we have an informal meeting on Tuesday night and a deadline for  letters and comments by the following Friday to prepare them for the Planning  Committee on the following Wednesday.  We were told there would be no comments at  the Council Meeting when they are going to vote on this issue. You don't want the neighborhood to get involved for the process of your (City Hall) way to intensify the neighborhoods.  The City drags its feet, then hurry up and  vote. Whereas: We need affordable housing, not high end market rate apartments. Whereas: No apartments buildings are needed. No rezoning is needed. No intensification of St Louis Park is needed.

February 6, 2024 Memo to: Gary Morrison Memo From: Bruce and Judy Millard Re.: Achromatic 6013 Rezoning Cc.: Gary Berscheid I am writing in response to the Community Meeting on Tuesday, January 30, regarding Achromatic 6013 and its proposed "36 market rate units" at 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road. We live on Blackstone Avenue just five houses north of Cedar Lake Road. We have lived here for more than 49 years. Several observations: 1.There is very limited parking on Cedar Lake Road and none on the north side of the street. 2.Traffic is such that we sometimes have difficulty getting onto Cedar Lake Road to go either east or west. 3. Someone at the January 30 meeting noted that 7 parking spaces in front of a 36-unit building would result in overflow parking on Blackstone. That would definitely affect us! 4.We already are aware that our neighbor across the street has trouble entering Blackstone from her driveway whenever someone parks in front of our house. 5. Many households are also affected by on-street parking on Blackstone. 6.Google Search indicates that in Minnesota the average number of vehicles per household is 2.6. An apartment building for 36 households would suggest the need for City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Title: First reading of rezoning ordinanance; plat and conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Page 52 far more than the proposed 44 parking spaces in the underground parking. 7. It appears there is one entry point off Cedar Lake Road for cars to reach the underground parking for the building. Cars trying to enter and exit Cedar Lake Road at its busy times (i.e., morning and evening rush hours) could result in major traffic jams. 8.Another huge concern is access in case of fire and/or medical emergencies. The building abuts the swamp on its south side. There is no vehicle access to the building on the south side and limited access on both the east and west sides. 9.Another concern related to the location is pedestrian traffic from the west-bound bus stops and Blackstone or Alabama over-flow parking to the building. There is no crosswalk or light. Please reconsider the request for rezoning.

We cannot attend the hearing, but would like our voices heard regarding the development. We stand opposed mainly because of the impact this development will have on the already congested traffic in the area. The precedent of buying up a few homes, and converting them to multi-dwellings at the expense of a "neighborhood" is very concerning.

Summary: The final plans and specifications for the reconstruction of Cedar Lake Road in 2024 are complete. This is the first phase of a two-phase/ three-year construction project. The construction schedule is: Phase 1: Cedar Lake Road (TH169 to Rhode Island Avenue) – project no. 4023-1100 • Construction 2024 Phase 2: Cedar Lake Road (Rhode Island Avenue to Kentucky Avenue) and Louisiana Avenue (Wayzata Boulevard to BNSF railroad) – project no. 4024-1100 • Private utility work in 2024 and 2025 • Construction 2025 and 2026 The preliminary layout for this project removed parking in the corridor. To formalize these parking restrictions, a "no parking" resolution is attached. Now that Phase 1 construction is ready for bidding, it is time to start the final design for the Phase 2 project, Cedar Lake Road (Rhode Island Avenue to Kentucky Avenue) and Louisiana Avenue (Wayzata Boulevard to BNSF railroad) – project no. 4024-1100. Kimley-Horn has provided a new contract for approval for these services. Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city's capital improvement plan (CIP). The total project cost for the 2024-2026 construction of Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue is estimated at $28,252,970. Additional details on the 2024 project are included in the discussion section of this report. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

A summary: • On Feb. 6, 2023, the city council approved the preliminary layout and authorized development of final plans. • An overall project update was provided to the city council at the Aug. 28, 2023 study session, including updated scope, cost and funding. • On Oct. 2, 2023 the city council approved a resolution to commence eminent domain for the easements needed to construct Cedar Lake Road in 2024. • An overall project update was provided to the city council at the Jan. 22, 2024 study session. The overall project will take three years to complete. The construction schedule is below: Phase 1: Cedar Lake Road (TH169 to Rhode Island Avenue) – project no. 4023-1100 • Construction 2024 Phase 2: Cedar Lake Road (Rhode Island Avenue to Kentucky Avenue) and Louisiana Avenue (Wayzata Boulevard to BNSF railroad) – project no. 4024-1100 • Private utility work in 2024 and 2025 • Construction 2025 and 2026 The final plans and specifications for the construction of Cedar Lake Road in 2024 are complete. Staff is recommending that the council approve them so the city can proceed to bid the project. Parking: The preliminary layout for this project removed parking in the corridor. To formalize these parking restrictions, a "no parking" resolution is attached. Cedar Lake Road currently has four resolutions that regulate parking within the project limits. The resolution included in this report will rescind the current resolutions and pass a new resolution that will prohibit parking on Cedar Lake Road from Highway 169 to Kentucky Avenue. Approval of this resolution will formalize parking restrictions along the corridor. Stormwater treatment: Staff has been working with Westwood Lutheran Church on a design to construct an underground treatment facility in their west parking lot. Unfortunately, the project team was unable to negotiate a price that was acceptable to Westwood Lutheran Church and within the project budget. Staff reviewed additional options for the underground treatment of stormwater and has identified Willow Park as the new site. Staff is recommending the construction of the stormwater treatment system under the baseball field in 2026 as a part of Phase 2 of this project. The project team has been coordinating with the Parks & Rec department to construct a facility that does not have long-term operational impacts to the park. The cost for this system is estimated to be in alignment with the project budget. Sanitary sewer: An issue with the sanitary sewer system was recently discovered under Cedar Lake Road near Jordan Avenue. Due to the work scheduled in this area, it will be much more cost-effective to repair it as a part of this project and prevent any future repairs from cutting City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7b) Page 3 Title: Resolutions establishing Cedar Lake Road improvements project (4023-1100) – Ward 4 open the newly reconstructed street. The project team has implemented the design and repair into this project for an additional cost of $34,800. This will be paid for using sanitary sewer utility funds. Financial or budget considerations: A combination of federal (regional solicitation and congressionally directed spending), state, MSA, MSA bonds and utility funds will be used to pay for the overall project. The Phase 1 engineer's estimate is shown in the table below. 2024 Cedar Lake Road (TH169 to Rhode Island Avenue) – Phase 1 Costs CIP Engineer's estimate Construction cost $7,772,068 $8,328,252 Engineering and administration $2,250,000 $2,627,017 Land acquisition/ right of way $1,020,000 $428,472 Total $11,042,068 $11,383,741 Funding Sources Municipal State Aid $3,800,530 $3,866,264 Sanitary sewer $0 $24,800 Watermain $1,218,735 $1,218,735 Stormwater utility $81,470 $81,470 Federal Aid $1,941,333 $2,164,000 Congressionally directed spending $2,000,000 $2,000,000 State appropriation $2,000,000 $2,028,472 Total $11,042,068 $11,383,741 The difference between the CIP and engineer's estimate above is the result of shifts in project limits, scope and costs between the project phases. In addition, now that we have acquired most of the easements for Phase 1, the easement costs have been adjusted. The total cost for the overall project is the same. Please see the table below for the estimated overall project cost.

Staff is projecting the final cost for engineering and administration services to be approximately 30% of the estimated construction cost, around $6,016,510. Industry standard for engineering costs on construction projects can range from 25% to 35%, depending on the complexity of the project. Projects that receive federal funding are more complex and have additional approval requirements. On March 20, 2023, the city signed an agreement with the consulting firm Kimley-Horn to complete the final design, right of way acquisition and construction services for the 2024 construction project. This agreement has had two amendments. Now that Phase 1 construction is ready for bidding, it is time to start the final design for the Phase 2 project, Cedar Lake Road (Rhode Island Avenue to Kentucky Avenue) and Louisiana Avenue (Wayzata Boulevard to BNSF railroad) – project no. 4024-1100. Kimley-Horn has provided a cost estimate and scope to complete the Phase 2 final design. It is shown in the table below. This contract is for the final design, right of way acquisition and bid documents for Phase 2 of this project. A summary of consulting costs is shown below. Staff recommends approval of Phase 2 consultant contract for $1,768,470. The contract, if approved, will increase the total consultant engineering cost to $4,302,059. An amendment to contract will be needed for construction services for Phase 2. The consultant is Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue consulting engineering cost Amount Preliminary design contract for overall project – Complete $430,499 Phase 1: Final design, right of way acquisition and construction services contract 2024 construction – approved on March 20, 2023 $2,039,040 Amendment #1 – additional soil boring and survey information needs – approved on Aug. 14, 2023 $21,800 Amendment #2 – environmental and hazardous material assessment, stormwater treatment design – approved on Sept. 20, 2023 $42,250 Phase 1 contract total $2,103.090 Phase 2: Final design, right of way acquisition, final plans and bid documents for 2025 and 2026 construction $1,768,470 Total consulting engineering cost upon approval of contract $4,302,059 City council meeting of February 20, 2024 (Item No. 7b) Page 5 Title: Resolutions establishing Cedar Lake Road improvements project (4023-1100) – Ward 4 unable to provide a cost estimate for construction services until the final plans and bid documents are complete. Staff has high expectations for the consultant as they need to be supportive and responsive to residents during design and construction. Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue Improvements projects will require coordination with MnDOT, Metro Transit, utility companies, residents and businesses. As a result, we believe that the contract cost is consistent with the scope and demands of this project. The work that Kimley-Horn has provided to date has met expectations and staff feels that completing the preliminary design and community engagement will allow them to finish the work in an efficient manner. The project team knows the goals of the project and has the knowledge of meeting with the residents and businesses along the corridor. Continuing to work with Kimley-Horn allows the project to stay on schedule and be ready for construction of the next phase in 2025. Easements are required for the construction of Phase 2 of this project. Most of the permanent easement is for construction of sidewalk. The city will also need to acquire the property in the northeast corner of the intersection of Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue for the construction of the roundabout.
