Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to approve the subordination agreement and an assignment of tax increment revenue note and development agreement with Bigos-Zelia on Seven, LLC and Bigos-Via Sol, LLC to facilitate the Zelia on Seven’s proposed site improvements and long-term permanent financing? Summary: On December 18, 2023, the EDA amended the purchase and redevelopment agreement (the “contract”) related to the Via Sol apartment building with Bigos-Via Sol, LLC to update definitions of the minimum improvements and amended the affordability levels of the development. The contract provides that the EDA will issue a tax increment revenue note (the “TIF note”) to Bigos-Via Sol, LLC once certain conditions are met. Bigos-Via Sol, LLC subsequently purchased the Via Sol property on December 28, 2023, and renamed the building Zelia on Seven. Bigos-Zelia on Seven, LCC and Bigos-Via Sol, LLC (together, the “developer”) request that the EDA subordinate certain rights under the contract to JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC (the “lender”) which is providing the permanent financing for the property purchase. In addition, the developer requests that the EDA consent to the assignment of certain rights under the contract and the TIF note to the lender as security for its financing. The proposed subordination and assignment are substantially similar to other subordination agreements and assignments of tax increment financing documents that the EDA has previously approved for other projects. The proposed subordination agreement and an assignment of tax increment revenue note and development agreement have been reviewed by the EDA’s legal counsel. The subordination and assignment documents are available upon request from economic development staff. Financial or budget considerations: All costs associated with the preparation of the proposed subordination agreement and assignment (Kennedy & Graven) are to be paid by the developer. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “lender”), has agreed to provide a mortgage loan (the “loan”) to Bigos in the approximate principal amount of $23,625,000 pursuant to a multifamily loan and security agreement between the lender and bigos (the “lender loan agreement” and, together with related loan documents, the “lender loan documents”). As a condition to providing the loan, the lender requires that the bigos assign certain rights under the contract and the TIF note to the lender and that the authority subordinate certain rights under the contract to the rights of the lender under the lender loan documents. 1.03. There has been presented to the board a form of assignment of tax increment revenue note and development agreement between Bigos, the lender, and Fannie Mae, to be agreed to by the authority (the “assignment”) and a subordination agreement between the authority, bigos, and the lender (the “subordination agreement”), pursuant to which Bigos will assign certain rights under the contract and the TIF note to the lender and the authority will subordinate certain rights under the contract to the rights of the lender under the lender loan documents.

Summary: Claire Westlund is a sixth-grade student at St. Louis Park Middle School. Claire’s parents, Emily and Tom, said their daughter is a natural leader and has always enjoyed leading group projects and participating in civic engagement such as joining her neighbors to pick up litter in area parks. Claire cares about pollution and preserving a clean environment . That inspired her Mayor for a Day essay, which addressed the actions she would take as mayor to see nearby Lamplighter Pond cleaned up and depolluted. Claire’s mother Emily, who works in education, helped Claire learn about the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) Mayor for a Day Essay Contest. Each year, LMC communications staff choose 25-30 finalists in the contest. Winners and honorable mentions then are selected by the LMC’s current president and executive director. Claire was one of more than 500 young authors who submitted essays for the most recent statewide contest, and one of only four winners. Mayor Mohamed visited Claire’s Individuals and Societies class at St. Louis Park Middle School, taught by Ms. Abigail Olson. The mayor and students discussed what the young people of St. Louis Park envision for the city’s future. The St. Louis Park City Council wishes to honor Claire Westlund for her accomplishment by proclamation. Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

Beltline Station Development Updated – Ward 1. Ms. Monson presented the staff report. Council Member Budd asked if the parking ramp is shared by all three buildings. Ms. Monson stated it is not shared by the affordable building, as all of the parking is underground for the building. She added the parking is shared by the market rate and the mixed use building as well as the park and ride. Council Member Budd asked if the city is responsible for the cost of the utilities. Ms. Monson responded that the cost of relocating the utilities is incorporated into the TIF numbers. Sherman Associates is paying the cost of utilities up front and as they pay the applicable property taxes for the site, the city pays them back through TIF. Ms. Barton added that the costs will be offset. Council Member Rog asked if the term “joint development” is something the city has used before. Mr. Hunt stated yes, clarifying that this development is a joint partnership between the EDA and Sherman Associates, and came out of the preliminary development agreement. Ms. Barton commented that the joint partnership definitely exists relative to the parking ramp. Council Member Rog noted the parking ramp numbers were developed in 2016 and things have changed, adding people are not necessarily going downtown to work any longer, public transit is also very low currently and asked if the parking ramp numbers had been updated. Ms. Monson explained that the city contacted the Met Council to consider steps to reduce the parking stall requirements. The Met Council’s response clarified that parking estimates feed City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Page 2 Title: Study session meeting minutes of February 12, 2024 into their funding formula to pay for SWLRT, so they have to be able to meet ridership numbers on light rail lines. Ms. Barton added if the number of stalls were to be reduced, which is unlikely due to the funding issues, the CMAQ grant would be correspondingly reduced. Council Member Rog stated this is unfortunate, and there will be disappointment from residents because of the parking ramp’s appearance. She asked what was saved by modifying the design of the parking ramp. Ms. Monson replied that the ground floor remained the same with the same materials. There will be brick on the ground floor instead of metal, which meets the minimum class for building materials (60%). She added the cost difference was $25.7 million for the first bid versus $20.2 million for the second bid, so a difference of $5.5 million. Council Member Rog stated she was going to suggest getting the ramp back to where it was but not at that cost. She asked about the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant in the amount of $6.4 million awarded eight years ago and noted the ramp had lost its purchasing value over time. She asked for staff’s thoughts. Mr. Hunt explained that as of December 2023, the Met Council had agreed to provide approximately $1 million in additional project funding. Council Member Rog asked if all the amenities remain the same. Ms. Monson confirmed this and added all the building permits are ready to be issued. Council Member Rog asked about the commercial space, noting her concerns and another deliverable that council may have to modify based on the financial realities of today. She asked if this has been any part of the discussion. Ms. Barton stated it has not and there is still the expectation that the commercial space will remain as is. Will Anderson, Director of Development for Sherman Associates, stated there is approximately 21,000 square feet of commercial space and noted it will not be modified at all, adding that they will be seeking to fill three spaces of approximately 2000 square feet for smaller community retail space. He added there are no commitments for that space as yet; they know it will be difficult to lease the space given the economy today but noted they do want to bring commercial users to the space. Council Member Rog asked if there is a timeline for how long Sherman Associates will be able to have the space vacant. Mr. Anderson stated their lenders are also considering this question and there are provisions that hold back payments until certain portions of the commercial space are leased. They have compelling reasons for leasing the space, but added he does not yet have any dates. Council Member Rog asked if the prospective grocery store’s interest had gone away. Mr. Anderson confirmed that they have no active grocery in the commercial space now. Council Member Rog hoped Sherman Associates can continue to partner in that space and she would like to see that space preserved as commercial. Council Member Budd asked if Sherman Associates envisions the commercial space being filled before the light rail is in operation. Mr. Anderson stated that would be preferable but added it would be nice to have the space filled one year prior. At present, he is not certain that will be City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Page 3 Title: Study session meeting minutes of February 12, 2024 the case. Mr. Hunt added it could be a situation of “build it and they will come.” Mr. Anderson added he expects the light rail to be a catalyst for securing a commercial tenant. Council Member Baudhuin asked if the Cedar Lake Trail is located close to the development and if there will be any closures anticipated. Ms. Monson responded that no closures are anticipated and added there is enough space to keep the trail open, while the backage road will be moved a bit to allow for vehicle traffic during construction. Council Member Baudhuin asked how residents who live in the development would access the bike trail. Ms. Monson stated there are stairs and a ramp that provide trail access. Council Member Brausen noted the affordable units will be appropriately sized, as compared with the Via Sol units. Council Member Budd asked about the development to the south of the station depicted in one of the slides. Mr. Hunt stated that was purely a vision design and not prescriptive. Ms. Monson stated that land will be used as staging for SWLRT, but added the land will eventually be developed, likely for affordable housing. Mr. Hunt added that space will not be freed up until SWLRT is completely done – most likely, after 2027. Council Member Budd asked if buses will have sufficient space to turn around. Mr. Hunt responded that Metro Transit determined going to the north would be more advantageous for buses to turn around. Council Member Dumalag asked about the bus route planned for the site. Ms. Monson stated it is a continuation of the route that is currently there with more frequent service. Council Member Dumalag asked about project phasing as it relates to the buildings. Ms. Monson clarified that technically, it will all be under construction at the same time. She added the way it works is excavation for the affordable building will happen first as that is where the majority of the cleaning will need to happen, but the majority of the construction will be happening at the same time, and completion will be about the same time as well. Mr. Anderson added the construction will likely be concluded by 2025. Council Member Dumalag asked about the city’s suggestions for DEI for contractors. Mr. Anderson stated they will have one general contractor that does all of the housing, and there will be three separate contracts for each building with the goal of meeting the DEI requirements on each of the three projects. He added the public parking ramp as a whole will be constructed by a different contractor and that has a separate and more distinct DEI process driven by Hennepin County and the Met Council. He noted that process has already been reviewed and requirements have all been met. Council Member Dumalag pointed out that those requirements are more stringent than the city’s due to federal funding. Mr. Anderson added they are utilizing union workers as well and noted those additional requirements as well. Council Member Dumalag asked if there is a way to make the ramp more energizing as it relates to public art. Ms. Monson stated there is a public art requirement for this development, and there will be a public process to select artists as construction gets closer. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Page 4 Title: Study session meeting minutes of February 12, 2024 Council Member Rog asked about additional design modifications on the ramp, and if Sherman Associates is locked into a particular design and structure and materials based on the accepted bid. Mr. Anderson stated there is now limited opportunity to change the design because of the steps that would be necessary to modify the public bidding process. He indicated there is opportunity for improvement with public art and other enhancements, but not major modifications. Council Member Baudhuin stated he is glad that Sherman Associates has been in contact with the Orthodox Jewish community located in the project area, and he wants to be sure they are kept informed. 2. Vision 4.0 process timeline and discussion. Mr. Walther and Ms. Brodeen presented the staff report. They explained staff would like the council’s input on a series of questions to ensure that the proposed process aligns with council expectations. Questions include: • Why are visioning processes important to you? • How do you feel about the past vision and priority setting processes? o What should continue, what improvements should be made? • What does a successful vision 4.0 process look like to you? • Who would you like to see engaged in the process? Why are visioning processes important to you? Council Member Budd stated visioning is important, visioning statements are needed, and we need to hear from everyone. Council Member Brausen agreed and stated visioning is done to take the temperature of the community; as in “here is where we are and what are your values.” Council Member Dumalag said that usually, council hears around 80% complaints from constituents, or requests for a change or a policy change. Very rarely does the city ask for the public’s vision. She explained that some residents are able to provide their vision with their vote, but some are not able to do so, so the visioning process is a way to engage the community as to what is important. Council Member Rog observed that the visioning process helps the city prioritize, to work to do things well, and it helps people feel like they are part of something bigger and included in the direction the city is taking through investments and policies. She has lived in St. Louis Park for over three decades and looking back, it is very clear the visioning has defined the community they have become, especially in 1995 with Children First. She observed that young people who grew up here really feel that, and stressed the importance of the process. Council Member Baudhuin stated the visioning process is important because vision gives you direction and helps you know the things you want to do and also the things you do not want to City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Page 5 Title: Study session meeting minutes of February 12, 2024 do, which then enables you to say no. He pointed out that really good vision work is hard work to do well, but when done well, it enables a city to take some big risks and to dream big. He likes the idea of taking big risks and visioning. Mayor Mohamed noted how demographics have changed in St. Louis Park, and how priorities have also changed. She is looking forward to involving the community as to what is missing, what gaps need to be filled and where focus should be. She reminded the group that the 3.0 visioning process included priorities and tasks. Council Member Rog indicated that the visioning process can help differentiate our community from others. This process can - and does - create unity and community pride. Mayor Mohamed added it also allows new residents to become part of the process. How do you feel about the past vision and priority setting processes? What should continue, what improvements should be made? Council Member Dumalag said the steering committee was a council process and there were questions as to how it was formed. She appreciated council was not involved on the committee, and she recalls almost everyone in the process was white and introduced themselves as to how long they had lived in St. Louis Park. She remembered doing a home tour also, and she would like to be intentional this time around about how many people are asked to participate. Council Member Rog stated these processes have been meaningful to her and others. She stated input online and on social media are important, but also the process of bringing people together to talk about community also builds community. These are some of her fondest memories of living in the community; being in a room full of people and the feeling generated when coming together to talk about community is worth preserving. She is not interested in the return on investment but is interested in the “training the trainer” portion. She observed that open houses is not a draw. Instead, she suggested an event with fun, food and music and children welcome as a draw for participation. Council Member Baudhuin stated he did not know this had happened, but he likes the outcome. He can see the fruit of that work and that it was done well, noting St. Louis Park has a tradition of good visioning and tangible results that everyone feels. He asked how a wide variety of residents become engaged, including schools and retirement/nursing homes, as these can be forgotten communities. He agreed that events are positive and suggested engaging diverse ethnic communities by providing food from all the different groups in an effort to help people to learn from one another. Council Member Budd stated she likes the statistics from the report and the multiple methods of engagement. She asked how the 60 trainers were selected. Mr. Walther stated there was a recruitment process and community partners and the steering committee also assisted. Council Member Dumalag observed that the recruitment process was about “who do you know” and the diverse demographic from Aquila was also engaged. She did not recall that the work was focused on reaching a certain demographic. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Page 6 Title: Study session meeting minutes of February 12, 2024 Council Member Budd commented that mindfulness around something such as gift cards could make a world of difference in participation. She stated there was over-representation of minority racial groups, which she observed is very good. She added getting new residents engaged and renters versus homeowners is also important feedback. Council Member Brausen encouraged casting the net as far as possible and doing intentional outreach to community faith leaders to get their groups involved. He agreed with getting renters involved and that the council needs to actively recruit from their networks. He also suggested contacting all of the 60 past trainers to ask them the same questions that council is answering. He reminded the group that the online process is also important for those who cannot go to an event. Mayor Mohamed stated she was not involved in past visioning processes. She agreed about the importance of events and wide outreach, and recommended hosting pop-ups for neighborhoods that do not typically participate. She noted Oak Park Village, Louisiana Court, Meadowbrook, and areas of high-density renters that need to be part of the next process. She observed the Vision 4.0 is a good opportunity to challenge people to participate and come sit at the table. The city will need to be thorough in order to get residents to participate and she urged all to be involved and participate. Council Member Rog commented on events that are already happening at the water park, at the Roc, at the Nature Center and also engaging the business community. Council Member Dumalag stated commercial businesses pay more in taxes than residents, and she was only able to engage a few businesses last time from the West End. Council Member Rog added a suggestion to collaborate with residents to engage customers in stores as well. Engaging elders is also important. In the past, gift cards were utilized for supplying food when a group met. She clarified that gift cards were intended not to burden participants and the practice was not just to hand gift cards to participants. She agreed about online participation as well. Council Member Baudhuin suggested that engaging people at restaurants is also a good place for outreach. He said the city can be intentional about engaging residents who live in rental properties, as well as talking to people who live at Park Shore Senior Living. Council Member Rog added the community who goes to Parkway Pizza for trivia is another place to engage residents in visioning. The council discussed Bunny’s, Park Tavern, and Steel Toe Brewing as other places to engage residents in visioning. Council Member Brausen said that leveraging resources with the businesses community through community development is another way to reach businesses, especially since relationships were developed with outreach during the Covid pandemic. He agreed that providing food is important to get people to attend events and engage in the visioning process. Mayor Mohamed observed that engaging high school seniors and youth is an important group to engage, and recalled a straw election was conducted in 2008 with high student engagement. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Page 7 Title: Study session meeting minutes of February 12, 2024 Council Member Dumalag added engaging See Our Abilities Realized (SOAR) or Youth in Government students. She added there are people of color who said they do not feel seen or heard, and thinking about connections here will also be important. What does a successful vision 4.0 process look like to you? Council Member Rog stated, “who we have been is who we are.” She noted the priorities from past visioning are the thread that run through the community identity and she is concerned about this future. She went on to say that is not because she does not like change or does not want to evolve. She stated it is important to treasure St. Louis Park’s priorities while ensuring that the community does not become static. Council Member Brausen stated that visioning is a process where residents are invested and feel heard. Council Member Dumalag stated this process is one where we need to get buy-in from residents and it is also a way to test if people are still passionate about what the city has prioritized. She added it is also a way to find new leaders to serve as well. Council Member Baudhuin stated he would be pleased if new residents come out of the process saying they are glad they moved here, are engaged and proud to be a resident. He would like to see the engagement participation numbers trend up with specific goals. Council Member Budd added St Louis Park is trend-setting in terms of initiatives and programs, climate change and community health alliance. She would like to see these initiatives continue to be included in the visioning process, as well as global trends. Mayor Mohamed shared that she would like the visioning process to be one that the council and city can be proud of. Who would you like to see engaged in the process? Council Member Baudhuin asked about the new boards and commissions and how they might be involved in this process. Ms. Brodeen stated with the new model of one large commission, it may be that they are involved in the future, adding that members are definitely stakeholders in this work. Council Member Dumalag recommended that it not be members of boards and commissions as they are already deeply involved, and it would be better to bring in new stakeholders, or a mixture of both. Written reports. 3. Hennepin County Minnetonka Boulevard reconstruction project update (4023-7000) – Ward 1. 4. Subordination and assignment of redevelopment contract – Zelia on Seven – Ward 2. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4a) Page 8 Title: Study session meeting minutes of February 12, 2024 Council Member Rog noted there will be a one-month delay on the Minnetonka Boulevard project and asked if staff had any information. Ms. Keller clarified that additional work time was needed, and there are no concerns from staff about the new timeline. Council Member Rog stated the city will discuss the Lynn Avenue crosswalk with Hennepin County. She asked if anything should be happening now to demonstrate resident or council support. Ms. Keller stated staff will develop a recommendation and if the county includes the crosswalk, then the county would own it and maintain it. Council Member Dumalag stated she is glad to see the developer is making headway on the Zelia on Seven project and is looking forward to seeing improvements. Council Member Rog asked if council has the right to know if area median income levels are changed and impacts and affordability levels at Zelia on Seven. Council Member Dumalag stated her understanding is that current residents will not be displaced. Ms. Keller added staff is not concerned about this. Council Member Rog added this developer has a history of displacing residents, so this is important for the community.

Council Member Brausen noted that there are links on the city’s web page to learn more about women’s history and the impacts of climate change that disproportionately affect women. He expressed the tragedy of inequality, especially in pay. Council Member Brausen encouraged his male colleagues to take necessary steps to address inequality by treating women equally. c.

Minutes of Jan. 22, 2024 study session b. Minutes of Feb. 5, 2024 city council meeting It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Farris, to approve the Jan. 22, 2024 study session and the Feb. 5, 2024 city council meeting minutes as presented. The motion passed 7-0. 5. Consent items. a. Approve city disbursements b. Resolution No. 24-028 authorizing final payment for 36th St. and Wooddale Ave. improvement project (4022-6000) - Ward 2 c. Approval of plat extension for Beltline Station Development - Ward 1 City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 3 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 Council Member Brausen commented that the city disbursements were $5.9 million, he considered the disbursement as well spent and pointed out the amount included tax increment finance disbursements to developers. It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Budd, to approve the consent items as listed; and to waive reading of all resolutions and ordinances. The motion passed 7-0. 6.Public hearings. a.Public Hearing and Resolution No. 24-029 approving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Ms. Olson presented the staff report. Council Member Budd asked about the estimate of the dollar amount. Ms. Olson stated this is only an estimate and if there are any changes, that amount will be reflected with final CDBG documentation from the county. Mayor Mohamed opened the public hearing. No speakers were present. Mayor Mohamed closed the public hearing. Council Member Farris stated she supports approval of the grant 100% and asked how the funds have been used historically. Ms. Olson responded that in the past, the funds have been used for programs and funding opportunities. She added that the amount received by St. Louis Park has dropped significantly over the years. She described how the public funds have been used in the past for multi-family properties that have over eight units. The amount allocated to St. Louis Park for CDBG and to additional requirements to properties with over 8 units do not balance out to provide funding to those programs any longer. The city also provides funds to the deferred loan program, so all the CDBG funds can be put to use. Council Member Brausen asked about additional funding that has been allocated, as all of the funds go to those with 80% area median income or below. Ms. Olson stated that is correct. Council Member Brausen asked if the funds are still available to be used. Ms. Olson confirmed this and noted there is information both on the city website and Hennepin County website about how to apply for funds. She added noted there is a state program that can be applied to as well for those who are eligible. Council Member Brausen encouraged St. Louis Park residents to inquire and if they quality for the funds, they can help folks make necessary repairs to their homes. It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Farris, to adopt Resolution No. 24-029, approving the Community Development Block Grant as presented. The motion passed 7-0. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 4 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 7. Regular business. a. First reading of rezoning ordinance; Resolution No. 24-030 approving plat; and Resolution No. 24-031 approving conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road – Ward 4 Mr. Morrison presented the staff report. Council Member Rog asked about this rezoning and an example of a legal finding that might support a denial of a zoning change. Mr. Walther gave an example and referenced the comprehensive plan, noting the rezoning to Residential-4 (R4) in this application is consistent with up to 30 units per acre. Council Member Brausen commented on the proposed height of three stories. He asked if there is a limit on the height in an R4 district, and if it is different than in the R3 district. Mr. Morrison stated the height maximum in R4 is three stories or 40 feet and height maximum in the R3 district is 35 feet. He noted in this development, it is 36 feet to the roof with a three-foot parapet, so almost 39 feet and ten inches total height. Council Member Brausen noted this is within the guidelines. Council Member Brausen observed that the map of the storm water retention area shows an underground retention pond, and asked if that is correct. Mr. Morrison confirmed this and noted it will be an underground structure, and from there, the water goes to the wetland and not into the city’s water sewer system. Council Member Brausen noted there is some contamination in the wetland from the railroad and other uses over the years. Mr. Morrison agreed that there is contamination in the wetland. Council Member Brausen stated traffic is a major concern, but noted staff said the road is able to hold over 17,000 trips per day. He asked about parking spots. Mr. Morrison confirmed there are 51 spots for onsite parking, and 54 including on street parking. He pointed out that city zoning only requires 43 spots. Council Member Brausen stated that is a sufficient number. Council Member Brausen noted there is neighborhood concern about spill-over parking on the north side of Cedar Lake Road. He asked if there have been complaints made to the city about this. Mr. Morrison stated parking complaints do vary, and typically the complaints are about consistent parking challenges versus one time holidays or parties. Council Member Brausen asked to confirm that the developer is not asking for any city assistance or TIF or a grant. Mr. Morrison responded that is correct. Council Member Brausen pointed out that in this case, the city has no authority to enforce the city’s green building policy or inclusionary housing or hiring policies and asked if that is correct. Mr. Morrison said yes, that is correct. Council Member Brausen stated he sees some “green” measures from the developer that are consistent with state code, but noted the city is not allowed to impose additional requirements above and beyond state building code. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 5 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 Mr. Morrison supplied that the developer would speak about the green features in the project. Mr. Berg (with the architectural firm) and Mr. Aaron (the owner) spoke. Mr. Aaron thanked city staff for their guidance and support. He thanked the planning commission as well for their recognition of the development. He stated over the years, there have been no police called to the property. He noted the current tenant’s rent has been left artificially low, compared to the tenant next door. He stated the tenant has been given six months’ notice to relocate and he is assisting the tenant in finding new housing. Mr. Aaron stated the development will be a good addition to the area, with private outdoor spaces, and many indoor and outdoor amenities within this peaceful, tranquil setting, with connection to parks, trails and entertainment. He added the goal is to attract existing long-term residents who are looking for an alternative to high density living. Mr. Aaron stated the project will have electrical charging stations and the project will take one year to complete, with minimal interruption to the area. Council Member Dumalag asked about the current tenant and noted that was her concern. She stated it sounds like the developer is working with the current tenant and asked if the notice period was met. Mr. Walther stated there is a fourteen-day notice requirement, and the owner is giving the tenant up to six months to relocate. Council Member Dumalag pointed out that her concern also relates to eviction notices. Ms. Olson agreed and stated the tenant protection notice requires 90-day notice and if certain criteria are met, then a relocation benefit is available. Council Member Brausen asked who will handle the construction of this development. Mr. Dovolis stated his company will be in charge of the project, and it will be built by union labor offering prevailing wages. Mr. Berg added he has done developments within St. Louis Park for over 20 years and is familiar with the green policy of the city, which he has work on with staff and with other projects. He stated sustainable features of the building include solar-ready roof, high efficiency appliances, heating, mechanical and lighting systems, native plantings and irrigation features. He added they have also incorporated many of the green policies of the city into the development, even though they are not required, because they are part of the typical projects they do as a firm. Council Member Baudhuin referenced the wetlands and asked if they had worked with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the DNR and if there are any concerns around the wetland on the project. Mr. Anderson (civil engineer) stated this project meets the watershed and city requirements, and noted there is a wetland buffer that will support vegetation and protect the wetland. He also noted the underground treatment will treat the sediment and will also infiltrate water back into the ground to reestablish the ground water levels. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 6 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 Council Member Rog referenced the location of the 16-foot wall and noted that may violate the city’s rules for height. Mr. Walther stated that is the wall and fence and noted the wall is ten feet. Council Member Rog stated ten feet is higher than allowed. Mr. Morrison explained the overall height is allowed when they are built as two separate structures. Mr. Morrison reviewed the fence and grade on the site plan slide. Council Member Rog asked what the rationale is for having such a high wall. Mr. Morrison stated it is needed to correct grades. He noted staff recommended a six-foot fence but at the neighborhood meeting, the neighbor requested the fence be as high as possible and eight feet is supported by code. Council Member Rog asked if shadow studies are required for this project. Mr. Morrison responded that yes, shadow studies were done and were well within code. Council Member Rog stated it will be a change for the neighborhood, if approved, and she understands that. The floor was opened for comments from the audience. Mark Mack, 5912 Cedar Lake Road, stated his questions are not being answered, adding he is not against the project per se. He said it seems like it is being thrust, noting some that were speaking on this project are not here tonight. He asked what the wall was supposed to do. He added the rentals properties in the area are all single-family homes and he is concerned about developers coming in to buy up single-family homes and replacing them with apartments. He stated he has lived in St. Louis Park for 20 years and his kids graduated from the high school. He noted the city has always been family focused and that is why they moved here, but now there are a lot of apartments going up. He stated he is biased against buildings going up everywhere and found out most of the single-family homes in his neighborhood are actually rentals, which is disturbing. He asked what was to keep others from coming in and all of a sudden, the neighborhood looks different. He also asked if there is a way to review landlords, whether they are meeting expectations, and is there documentation to make sure these things will happen. He added parking and snowplows on driveways are an issue also. Sue Mack, 5912 Cedar Lake Road, added they have lived in that location for 15 years, lived behind Knollwood for ten years, and they love it here. They moved from Pennsylvania and liked the Children’s First initiative and family-oriented city when they moved here. She stated her comment at the planning commission about drawing in more families was misunderstood by the commission member. She explained what she meant was that the health of the community is the health of the school and we have the best school district. They moved here because of the schools and the small-town feel in a first ring suburb. Ms. Mack stated she is not 100% opposed to this project but prefers townhouses instead of another apartment building. She is shocked at how many apartments are at West End, adding that many units are empty. She noted there are lots of empty units in Sienna as well. She asked why another apartment building, but understands it is for the middle. She would not be opposed if there were a waiting list for apartments, but noted there will be more apartments that are empty. She added the owners’ properties are not well-maintained and asked who will City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 7 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 manage it and is it going to be kept up with grass, snow and ice. She noted one of the tenants who lives in the owner’s home said he does not take care of his properties as he should. Rosland Toozna, 4636 Cedar Lake Road, stated she is concerned about the level of parking even though this is not her neighborhood. She has concerns about traffic in the corridor and noted that cars speed in the roundabout there. She stated when the plan review comes up, significant attention should be given to traffic management and parking. Mr. Berg pointed out the city is still looking for housing and many different types of housing and this provides for the “missing middle”, for people to become part of the neighborhood, but not in a higher density area, which they might not be interested in. He stated the dense housing will be on the transit routes. He added the area is walkable to get groceries and go to the theater also. Mr. Berg stated the design makes the building smaller scale and moves the setback farther back than required, so as to make it less intrusive in the neighborhood. He added another element of the comprehensive plan is for housing have high-quality architectural design - which it will have - as well as sustainable features. He pointed out the design quality features and larger balconies, allowing residents to be inside and outside, noting glass and stucco are long lasting with enduring character. Council Member Brausen stated he supports the project because is follows city codes and requirements and brings housing into the community. He disagrees with the statement that there is too much housing in the city and referenced housing studies that are done annually as well as check-ins with landlords. He stated there are plenty of people who want to live in this community and occasionally he hears people say we do not want rental, adding that is unfortunate because 45% of the community is rental. Council Member Brausen stated that renters are welcome and unfortunately there is a lack of developable land in St. Louis Park, so the only way to build these structures is by building up instead of out. He remarked that this project does it in a fairly responsible manner and noted this could not happen on the north side of Cedar Lake Road as it is zoned single-family Residential-1. On the south side is a more commercial area, and this will be an improvement to some of the housing in the area. Council Member Brausen added that traffic is always a concern, but usually does not develop into a problem. He has been in the neighborhood and the ward for almost 40 years and understands the concerns. He would also like to see sustainable measures, and would like to also see solar roofs, but added the city cannot require that with the building code. He added the concerns about parking can be addressed through parking restrictions and other measures. He noted most single-family homes have more cars than those living in apartments. Council Member Brausen added there is no obligation to provide on-street parking and there will be off-street parking. He is happy to see the developer using union labor and that they will hire more women and people of color. He is also happy about the storm water plans as well. He stated he has heard the concerns about the landowner and noted all the litigation was settled and if there was a judgement, it was paid. He has not observed here the history of a bad landlord, we should not prejudge anyone, and staff will be making their best efforts to watch carefully for permits and codes. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 8 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 Council Member Brausen apologized in advance for construction dislocation and added his hopes that it will be minimal. Council Member Dumalag commented that she will also support this project. She addressed concerns by neighbors about the watershed, and stated every type of application that comes through has to be approved by the watershed district before the project begins. She pointed out there is currently single-digit vacancy in St. Louis Park, and we do need to have more affordable units as well as units in general. She added also there is still a problem with the “missing middle.” It is a nation-wide problem, and the city is trying to do their best to mitigate. Council Member Baudhuin shared that he drove by the proposed development and wants the residents to know the council takes their concerns seriously. He asked how much affordable housing the city has created in the last few years. Mr. Walther responded that it is over 800 affordable units since the creation of the affordable housing trust in 2016. Council Member Baudhuin stated he also will support this as the project meets the criteria, and he appreciates that residents got involved as it speaks to how much they care about their city. Council Member Budd stated she will also support the proposal presented. She appreciated hearing from residents, and noted she is concerned that residents stated they did not get all their questions answered. She would like to have staff and council look into issues related to the watershed and with landlords and encouraged residents to keep going to staff for answers. Council Member Farris stated she will also be supporting this project. She thanked staff for their work, adding we do need more affordable housing in St. Louis Park. She stated there is a need for nice affordable rental units in the city. Council Member Rog agreed with what had been stated. She agreed with Council Member Budd that staff can provide the answers that residents are looking for. Fernhill Place is in her ward and there have been concerns there. She hopes this development will be different and that staff will stay on top of things to ensure they are in order. She prefers townhouses also, but noted the city is limited in what can be done here, and the comprehensive plan shows where dense housing can be located. She added she appreciates Council Member Brausen’s thoughtful responses to residents. Mayor Mohamed stated she will also support this project. She noted housing solutions will include our ability to provide all kinds of homes. She added she would also like more townhomes in St. Louis Park, but noted this development meets a need also with the “missing middle” and provides 36 housing units. She looks forward to Vision 4.0 conversations that will be forthcoming soon as an opportunity for the community to engage and provide their thoughts about the city and the future. Council Member Brausen added he also heard concerns from residents about the short notice sent out regarding the public hearings. He suggested the council may need to look at adopting a policy about earlier notice when rezoning is part of a project and noted it would be helpful to have community comments earlier in the process. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 9 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Brausen, to approve first reading of rezoning ordinance, adopt Resolution No. 24-030 approving plat; and adopt Resolution No. 24-031 approving conditional use permit applications for 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road – Ward 4. The motion passed 7-0. b.Resolutions No. 24-032 and 24-033 establishing Cedar Lake Road improvements project (4023-1100) – Ward 4. Mr. Shamla presented the staff report. Council Member Rog asked whether entry into Northside Park is being considered. Ms. Heiser stated that is outside the scope of the project. She noted that there is a bike trail through the park, and the parking lot is accessed off of Nevada Ave. Ms. Heiser added there is no road connection to allow for an entrance to the parking lot from Louisiana Avenue. Council Member Baudhuin asked about West 28th Street near Highway 169 and with the construction, how will residents get out of that area. Mr. Shamla stated they will provide access to all residents during the project and will not involve the Cedar Lake Road/ Jordan Avenue intersection so the neighborhood can get access during project. Rosland Toozna, 4636 Cedar Lake Road, stated she sent a follow-up email to her commentary. She added she is not opposed to rental properties, but noted there is congestion in her area. She added she is excited and supports this project and is happy about trails and cyclists. Council Member Brausen stated he supports the proposal today and noted the approval of this in 2024 will allow for this reconstruction project, which will be a major undertaking. He noted this is work that will be significant and has had a great deal of public engagement in the process. Council Member Brausen added that the plan is a costly endeavor. City staff and the past and current Mayor have assisted in finding local, regional and state funding, and he appreciates that. He stated this is not a perfect plan and no plan ever is when dealing with infrastructure, but it is a plan that is working to serve the community for the next 30 – 50 years. He added there is also some dislocation and sadly some trees will be removed and some yards impacted. He pointed out that the city will do their best to mitigate these impacts but some are unavoidable. Council Member Brausen agreed that construction work is always messy and disruptive and this project will go on for three summers. He apologized to all neighbors now for the community needs that will allow for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles along the corridor. He added it provides community utility service also that needs to be done and this project will meet the goals and needs of the community in maintaining and enhancing the system. Council Member Dumalag added she will also support this and appreciates staff’s work finding the multiple funding sources. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 10 Title: City council meeting minutes of February 20, 2024 It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Baudhuin, to adopt Resolution No. 24-032 approving Cedar Lake Road improvements project; to adopt Resolution No. 24-033 rescinding four resolutions and authorizing parking restrictions on Cedar Lake Road; and, to authorize execution of contract for professional services with Kimley-Horn in the amount of $1,768,470 for Phase 2 of the Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana Avenue improvements project - (4023-1100, 4024-1100) - Ward 4.

Council members present: Mayor Mohamed, Sue Budd, Tim Brausen, Lynette Dumalag, Yolanda Farris, and Margaret Rog Council member absent: Paul Baudhuin Staff present: City manager (Ms. Keller), administrative services director (Ms. Brodeen), deputy city clerk (Ms. Scott-Lerdal), sustainability manager (Ms. Ziring), city attorney (Ms. Schmidt) Guests: Chad Henderson and Keelin Yenny, Yellow Umbrella Coaching & Consulting Ms. Keller welcomed the group and introduced the purpose of the meeting. She introduced Mr. Henderson and Ms. Yenny. They reviewed the workshop format, beginning with a 30-minute introduction to the boards and commissions followed by a discussion period of 90 minutes. Ms. Yenny gave the guiding principles of conversation as openness, respect and communication. She asked if any other principles should be included, no amendments were offered. Ms. Yenny outlined the goals for the workshop as understanding the council's appetite for change as individuals and as a collective, to seek clarity of opinion and proposed changes, and making sure that all voices were heard. Ms. Yenny covered the timeline of the external review, through examination of role and external review highlights, beginning in January of 2023. She pointed out how closely council and community points are aligned. The new program purpose included several potential structures and took a deeper analysis of task force models, strategic priority-based commissions, and a single strategic board. In November of 2023, Yellow Umbrella gathered challenges, opportunities and concerns from boards and commissions members. Concerns included challenges such as loss of clarity, loss of specialized enterprise, devaluing members, meeting effectiveness with a large board, limited leadership opportunities and the role of staff perceived as a firewall. Opportunities such as cross-topic collaborations, flexible structure, and more open opportunity for collaboration were also covered. Mr. Henderson shared that there would be time spent discussing several questions, including feedback received from Council Member Baudhuin. The questions posed to the group were: Reflection/global questions: City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 2 Title: Boards and commissions workshop minutes of March 4, 2024 1. After reviewing stakeholder feedback how well do you feel the new proposed structure addresses existing challenges and opportunities? Have your feelings or thoughts changed over time? Council members shared their perspectives of both the current and proposed structures. Conversation included personal experience through serving on boards and commissions prior to council election, questions about process versus structure, barriers to participation, compensation, and potential solutions to long-standing concerns and issues by boards and commissions members. They agreed that there were positive aspects of the current structure and gave deference and respect to the work accomplished by dedicated commissioners over the years. Council members also agreed that community feedback was a major factor in their current concerns of both the current and the proposed boards and commissions structures. 2. How comfortable do you feel in undertaking change to address the concerns and opportunities identified over the past year? What makes you excited to undergo change? What makes you feel apprehension? Each member of the group confirmed that they felt comfort with change and felt excitement particularly when change brings about improvement and gains trust. They also agreed that the pace of change is important to ensure that effective strategies are retained. Apprehension arose in concerns of changing too quickly to properly identify what to maintain. In reference to the boards and commissions proposed structure change, the group agreed that some level of change is needed. 3. If no changes were to be made to the existing structure, who would stand to benefit? Who would be more likely to be left out? Council members agreed that without change to the current program structure, the same groups of people who experience fewer barriers to participation would continue to experience fewer barriers, and groups of people who the council would like to see both recruited and retained would continue to experience comparatively more barriers to participation. They discussed societal and historical patterns of public service barriers, and potential solutions . Conversation on solutions included suggestions for a robust orientation program, offering more specific invitation to welcome broad perspectives, and support of participation such as food and childcare. Ms. Schmidt was asked to add her perspective regarding these suggestions, and she reflected that any expenditure of this nature must have public purpose. Board/commission structure/relationship questions: 1. Changes to the existing structure may provide opportunities to reconsider the ways in which the council interacts with the boards and commissions. What level of time commitment do you feel is appropriate and manageable for you as a council member to give to boards and commissions? City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 3 Title: Boards and commissions workshop minutes of March 4, 2024 Members of the city council each shared their current and potential time commitments with honesty and respect for each other, for commissioners, and for the intense commitment that comes with public service – not just for the group of people attending this workshop, but for future elected officials and commissioners as well. Mr. Henderson pointed out that there is a mutual time problem, and asked if a change to the existing structure could include a way to reallocate time. Potential solutions were discussed, such as attending boards and commissions meetings quarterly, written reports to convey work plans and progress, annual presentations by each board and commission for their annual work plan and including a systems approach to annual work plans. Two additional ideas were to have boards and commissions fall under the at-Large council members and mayor, and to try a boards and commissions liaison approach. These two ideas brought the council’s conversation back to time commitment and concerns of representing a limited point of view as a boards and commissions liaison. 2. Maintaining a “community friendly” process for input was a clear theme across multiple stakeholders. How strongly do you feel that quorum, open meeting law barriers, and parliamentary procedures should be addressed through any changes to the current boards and commissions structure? Conversation ranged from council members sharing their personal experiences with boards and commissions in the past to changes that they would like to see to the current structure, including strong support for working within open meeting law to remove barriers to participation. Though every board and commission utilize parliamentary procedure, the group agreed that these processes could be beneficial and skill-building for some commissioners, while at the same time, could pose obstacles and intimidation to participation for others. Ms. Schmidt was asked to clarify some points of what is required. She pointed out that compliance with open meeting law is mandated by state law. The use of parliamentary procedure is a city decision. The group agreed that within legal boundaries, they would like to see boards and commissions be able to function nimbly to provide more timely communication to inform council’s policy - making work. 3. A change in structure provides opportunities to reconsider workflow. How do you believe workflow to the board should function in any structure that is in place? A variety of opinions and suggestions arose from council members as they discussed the question of workflow direction and how it relates to council action. The group conversed about concepts such as board and commission naming, compensation, reporting structure, and the City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 4 Title: Boards and commissions workshop minutes of March 4, 2024 many differences between staff recommendation and advisory commission advice - including the limited ability for advisory commissions to be nimble in responding to council. Potential solutions to workflow included synchronization with the city’s systems approach and strategic priorities. Council members questioned the extent to which open meeting law affected smaller groups of commissioners and board members in workflow. Ms. Schmidt added that how a group is formed and constituted is important. Boards and commissions, under their current structure, are subject to the roles, charges and duties that city council originally created for them. Also, some commissions are statutory and limited to specific roles and actions. Ms. Keller remarked that who a body reports to is also a statutory consideration. For example, a small group that does not meet quorum – any sub-committee or task force of a larger committee - are still subject to open meeting law. Ms. Schmidt addressed the idea of compensation for boards and commissions, cautioning that there are limited ways to pursue compensation via payroll thoughtfully and specifically. The conversation returned to the question of workflow and the potential interaction of city council, city staff, and boards and commissions. The group agreed that there is potential value in defining the role of boards and commissions under the city’s strategic priorities. Using the systems approach could inform workflow, coordination and community alignment. Council members agreed that staff recommendation along with boards and commissions advice could better inform policy decisions taken by the city council. Mr. Henderson gave concluding comments and thanked all of the workshop attendees. Council member Brausen thanked staff for coming up with proposal for a new structure, not diminishing the current work of boards and commissions but making the "wheel smoother." Ms. Keller thanked attendees for their time. She informed the group that March 25, 2024 is the city council study session where formal discussion on this topic will take place. The workshop was adjourned at 8:00 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, city clerk Nadia Mohamed, mayor Meeting: City council Meeting date: March 18, 2024 Consent agenda item: 5a Executive summary Title: Approve city disbursements Recommended action: Motion to approve city disbursement claims for the period of February 9 - March 8, 2024.

Contracting, Inc. the lowest responsible bidder and authorize execution of a contract with the firm in the amount of $440,274.50 for the 2024 Alley Reconstruction project no. 4024-1500. Policy consideration: None. Summary: A total of five (5) bids were received for this project. A summary of the bid results is as follows: Contractor Bid amount G.L. Contracting, Inc. $ 440,274.50 JL Theis, Inc. $ 465,209.84 Meyer Contracting, Inc. $ 474,614.32 T-Zack Concrete, LLC $ 538,254.67 Create Construction LLC $ 551,746.00 Engineer's estimate $ 415,008.21 A review of the bids indicates that G.L. Contracting, Inc. submitted the lowest bid. G.L Contracting, Inc. is a reputable contractor that has completed projects for the city within the last five years. Staff recommends that a contract be awarded to the firm in the amount of $440,274.50. Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2024. Funding will be provided using pavement management (franchise fees) and stormwater utility. The low bid is higher than the CIP; however, there are sufficient funds available and it is recommended to award the bid as submitted. Additional information on the costs and funding can be found in the discussion section of the 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. Supporting documents: Discussion 2024 Alley Reconstruction map Overall 2024 financial summary Prepared by: Jack Sullivan, engineering project manager Reviewed by: Debra Heiser, engineering director Approved by: Cindy Walsh, deputy city manager City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Page 2 Title: Approve bid for 2024 Alley Reconstruction project (4024-1500) – Wards 1 and 4 Discussion Background: Bids were received on Feb. 15, 2024, for the Alley Reconstruction project (4024- 1500). This will be the seventh year in a plan to reconstruct all gravel and bituminous alleyways to concrete pavement. This year's project will reconstruct two sections of alleys in the Bronx Park and Fern Hill neighborhoods (Ward 1) and two in the Pennsylvania Park neighborhood (Ward 4) that are currently gravel or bituminous. These alleys serve approximately 57 homes. Improvements to the alleys include removing the existing surface, grading and installing three stormwater infiltration systems and eight (8)-inch concrete pavement. An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor on Jan. 25 and Feb. 1 and in Finance and Commerce on Jan. 25 through Jan. 31, 2024. In addition, plans and specifications are made available electronically via the internet on the city's OneOffice website. Information regarding this bidding opportunity was shared with three (3) minority associations and 34 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) contractors. Twenty-four (24) contractors/vendors downloaded plan sets, three (3) of which were Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). Funding details: Staff has reviewed the bids and determined that G.L. Contracting, Inc. is the lowest responsible bidder. The low bid does exceed the city's 2024 CIP values for stormwater utility funds. The low bid came in lower than the CIP values for pavement management. Based on the low bid received, cost and funding details are as follows: CIP Low bid Construction cost $393,000.00 $440,274.50 Engineering and administration $59,000.00 $66,041.18 Base bid total $452,000.00 $506,315.68 Funding Sources Pavement management $293,800.00 $262,722.69 Stormwater $158,200.00 $243,592.99 Base bid total $452,000.00 $506,315.68 Contingency: Due to the nature of our construction projects, unexpected costs do come up. To address this, past practice has been to show a contingency for all aspects of the project. What follows is a table that shows this 10% contingency and how this would affect the project costs. Low Bid Contingency (10%) Engineering/ administration Total Pavement management $228,454.51 $22,845.45 $34,268.18 $285,568.14 Stormwater $211,819.99 $21,182.00 $31,773.00 $264,774.99 Total $440,274.50 $44,027.45 $66,041.18 $550,343.13 Attached is the overall financial summary for the transportation and maintenance projects included in the 2024 CIP. As each project is brought to the council for final approval and for bid award, this summary will be updated to reflect the bids received. Bid analysis: The low bid is $54,315.68, or 12% over the CIP amount. Below is an analysis of the costs for each funding category. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Page 3 Title: Approve bid for 2024 Alley Reconstruction project (4024-1500) – Wards 1 and 4 Pavement Management: The low bid for the project is $31,077.31 (11%) under the pavement management CIP amount. Stormwater utility: The low bid for the storm utility is $85,392.99 (54%) over the storm utility CIP amount. The additional cost is due to the stormwater management infrastructure. The project includes the construction of three stormwater infiltration devices to promote groundwater recharge and reduce runoff to our ponds, lakes and creeks. Not every alley is suitable for this type of stormwater management device. However, in the case of this year's alleys, three of the four alleys are good candidates. This is because the underlying soils are well- draining, free of contamination and have sufficient separation from groundwater. In addition, the alley grades are such that it would be more expensive to drain the runoff directly into the stormwater system. Recommendation: There are three options open to the city when a bid is higher than what is included in the CIP. These are: reject the bid and rebid for this year, reject the bid and delay the project until a future year, and award the bid after a review of the overall financial management plan to understand if funding is available. To prepare the recommendation for award, staff explored these three options and is recommending that the bid be awarded. This recommendation was developed after reaching out to contractors to better understand the bidding climate. Staff does not recommend going back out to bid for this project in 2024 since it is unlikely that the pricing will change. To ensure that these alleys get the rehabilitation needed to serve the community, staff recommends that the city move ahead with this project in 2024. To accomplish this, the low bid was reviewed with the finance department to ensure there are available funds to address the increased stormwater utility costs. In the coming months, staff will review the existing CIP and look for opportunities to offset the additional stormwater costs in future years. Next steps: Once approved, city staff will work with the contractor to determine a construction schedule. Construction is anticipated to begin in May and should be completed by October 2024. 2024 Alley Reconstruction - North 1404 1420 1405 1401 1400 1410 1415 1409 14011400 1408 14161417 1413 WAYZATA BLVD PENNSYLVANIA AVE S14TH ST W LOUISIANA AVE S16TH ST W LOUI SI ANA TR ANSI T CTR OREGON AVE SNEVADA AVE SMARYLAND AVE SPennsylvaniaPennsylvania ParkPark Date: 5/31/2023 2024 Alley reconstruction 0 200 400100 Feet Alley E Alley F City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Title: Approve bid for 2024 Alley Reconstruction project (4024-1500) - Wards 1 and 4 Page 4 SALEM AVE STOLEDO AVE SALLEYQUENTIN AVE SRALEIGH AVE S2 6 TH ST W 27TH ST WUTICA AVE SHIGHWAY100SVERNON AVE S2622 2628 2607 2635 2617 2601 2634 2625 2621 2600 2608 26142613 0 500 1,000250 Feet 2024 Alley Reconstruction - South Date: 5/31/2023 29TH ST W 28TH ST W BLACKSTONE AVE SBRUNSWICK AVE SCOLORADO AVE SDAKOTA AVE SEDGEWOOD AVE SFLORIDA AVE S2804 2820 2824 28482849 2845 2841 2808 2812 2852 2833 2801 2816 2834 2840 28562855 2829 2813 2800 2828 2844 2825 2817 2809 2805 2024 Alley reconstruction Alley B Alley C City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Title: Approve bid for 2024 Alley Reconstruction project (4024-1500) - Wards 1 and 4 Page 5 Overall financial summary 2024 Budget Cedar Lake/ Louisiana Ave Phase 1 Minnetonka Blvd Concrete replacement Pavement management (Area 2) Alley construction Sanitary sewer lining Lamplighter Pond maintenance Parking lot maintenance MSC 4023-1100 4023-7000 4024-0003 4024-1000 4024-1500 4024-3000 4022-4001 4024-1600 GO Bonds 4,656,251 - 4,656,251 - - - - - - GO Bonds-New sidewalk construction 825,000 - -- 825,000 - - - - Pavement management fund 4,235,490 - -120,950 3,396,000 293,800 - - 424,740 Municipal State Aid 3,800,530 3,800,530 - - - - - - - Sanitary sewer 1,336,164 - 411,164 - 345,000 - 580,000 - - Stormwater 1,237,420 81,470 120,950 633,000 158,200 - 243,800 - Water 7,758,235 1,218,735 3,467,500 - 3,072,000 - - - - Operations budget 145,000 - - 145,000 - - - - - State appropriation 2,000,000 2,000,000 - - - - - - - Federal funds 1,941,333 1,941,333 - - - - - - - Congressional directed spending 2,000,000 2,000,000 - - - - - - - Total funding 29,935,423 11,042,068 8,534,915 386,900 8,271,000 452,000 580,000 243,800 424,740 Table 1: 2024 Transportation and maintence projects funding -CIP 2024 Budget Cedar Lake/ Louisiana Ave Phase 1 Minnetonka Blvd Concrete replacement Pavement management (Area 2) Alley construction Sanitary sewer lining Lamplighter Pond maintenance Parking lot maintenance MSC 2024 CIP projects total to date 4023-1100 4023-7000 4024-0003 4024-1000 4024-1500 4024-3000 4022-4001 4024-1600 GO Bonds 4,656,251 - 3,362,976 - - - - - - 3,362,976 GO Bonds-New sidewalk construction 825,000 - -- 824,102 - - - - 824,102 Pavement management fund 4,235,490 - 3,393,072 263,284 - - 224,250 3,880,606 Municipal State Aid 3,800,530 3,866,264 - - - - - - - 3,866,264 Sanitary sewer 1,336,164 24,800 691,995 - 341,499 - 277,870 - - 1,336,164 Stormwater 1,237,420 81,470 - 630,698 243,032 - 239,578 - 1,194,777 Water 7,758,235 1,218,735 2,511,161 - 3,070,924 - - - - 6,800,820 Operations budget 145,000 - - - - - - - State appropriation 2,000,000 2,028,472 - - - - - - - 2,028,472 Federal funds 1,941,333 2,164,000 - - - - - - - 2,164,000 Congressional directed spending 2,000,000 2,000,000 - - - - - - - 2,000,000 Total funding 29,935,423 11,383,741 6,566,132 - 8,260,295 506,316 277,870 239,578 224,250 27,458,182 Engineer's Estimate Engineer's Estimate Engineer's Estimate Award Bid Engineer's Estimate Award Bid Engineer's Estimate Table 2: 2024 Transportation and maintence projects funding - actual City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 5b) Title: Approve bid for 2024 Alley Reconstruction project (4024-1500) - Wards 1 and 4 Page 6 Meeting: City council Meeting date: March 18, 2024 Consent agenda item: 5c Executive summary Title: Second reading and adoption of ordinance rezoning 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road - Ward 4 Recommended action: Motion to adopt second reading of ordinance amending the zoning map to rezone property at 6013 and 6019 Cedar Lake Road from R-3 two-family residence to R-4 multiple-family residence and approve summary ordinance for publication. Policy consideration: Does the city council support the proposed zoning map amendment? Summary: The applicant, Joshua Aaron, proposes 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 is to rezone the subject property from R-3 to R-4 to facilitate the proposed apartment building. The city council approved the first reading of ordinance to rezone the subject properties on February 20, 2024. At that meeting city council also approved the preliminary and final plat to combine the two unplatted parcels into one lot and a conditional use permit for a multiple-family dwelling. Both of those approvals are contingent upon the rezoning. 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.

Policy consideration: Does the applicant meet the requirements for temporary extension of their licensed premises for special, one-day events? Summary: Copperwing Distillery, located at 6409 Cambridge Street, has requested a temporary extension of their licensed premises for several one-day events. The “Block Parties” are proposed between 2 p.m. – midnight for the following Saturdays: 4/13/2024, 5/18/2024, 6/15/2024, 7/20/2024, 8/17/2024 and 9/21/2024. The current licensed premises does not include outdoor space and the applicant has proposed expanding the licensed premises temporarily to the area immediately adjacent to the licensed premises for the events. None of the other businesses in or adjacent to the event will be open during the requested times and Copperwing has obtained permission from the landowner and these businesses. All activities will take place off-street and guests will be able to enjoy Copperwing’s alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, up to two food trucks, outdoor games and music. Approximately 50-150 guests are expected to attend each event and any amplified music will conclude by 11:30 p.m. Fence barriers around the event space will control entry and exit from the proposed area. In addition to on-street parking, space will be available throughout the business center parking lot. The event area will consume about 18 of the approximately 340 available off-street parking spaces. Staff reviewed the request and found no concerns with the proposed plans, including the police and fire departments, who will ensure precautions for safety. Copperwing Distillery has successfully held similar events in the past with no major issues reported. St. Louis Park City Code Section 3-106 states that “proposed enlargement or substantial alteration which changes the character of the licensed establishment or extension of a premise previously licensed shall not be allowed unless the city council approves an amendment to the liquor license”. If approved, the temporary extension of the licensed premises will be valid only for the dates and times outlined in the request. Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable.

Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to approve a revised expenditure for a five-year multifunction printer equipment lease for 2024-2029? Summary: Following city council authorization Aug. 21, 2023, city staff issued a request for proposal (RFP) for a new five-year lease of multifunction printer equipment for use by city staff. Financial or budget considerations: At its Nov. 6, 2023, meeting, the city council approved a proposal received by Loffler Companies, Inc., as the lowest apparent proposal at $326,226. That response was predicated on a baseline of equipment provided in the RFP to ensure an accurate comparison of proposals. The RFP included a follow-up requirement for an assessment and inventory by the lowest apparent respondent, which city staff knew would introduce more necessary variables and potentially increase the overall cost of the five-year contract – which was the result. The increase to $366,402.60 includes these additions: • Upgrading a high-volume city hall printer • Replacing outdated, dedicated fax machines to allow faxing from printers • Paying a base-rate print estimate on non-networked printers • Adding software to direct scan to Laserfiche from printers • Upgrading hardware for additional authentication options at printers • Paying implementation and ongoing maintenance for cloud solution. Note: Retirement of the current on-premise print server following this transition will result in nearly $8000 in savings over five years. Staff is returning to council for additional approval as the final contract will be $366,402.60. Although this cost is higher than the original lowest apparent proposal received for the five- year contract, it remains within the amounts budgeted for this project. Budget for the city’s multifunction printers is split between the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2024 – 2029 (for the equipment) and the information technology operating budget (for print management software). Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in environmental stewardship.

Multifunction printer equipment allows for printing, copying, and scanning of documents for city business by staff in various facilities. At its Nov. 6, 2023, meeting, the city council approved a response received by Loffler Companies, Inc., as the lowest apparent proposal at $326,226.00. The RFP included follow-up requirements for the lowest apparent respondent, which was likely to introduce more necessary variables and potentially increase the cost of the final five-year contract. The follow-up requirements included: • Assess inventory to consider reducing the number of units needed through use of updated technology and current best practices. • Consider energy efficiency and sustainability opportunities and ways to promote best practices to minimize use of consumables and reduce paper waste. • Minimize costs while maintaining or improving current services. City staff worked with Loffler Companies, Inc. to complete the above items in early 2024. Following that process, the actual five-year cost of the lease will be $366,402.60. This is due to changes requested by city staff and recommendations from Loffler Companies, Inc., as follows. • Upgrade of a high-volume city hall printer to provide production-quality printing. This will allow short runs of high-quality print materials by the communications division as well as by other city departments who use this copier regularly for high-volume printing. This is not only likely to save money on external printing, but also allows the city to print its own needed materials in emergency situations. • Replace outdated, dedicated fax machines in police with a component to allow faxing from the multifunction printer. • Pay a base-rate print estimate on non-networked printers, which are in secure areas not easily accessible by IT staff. This saves time in conducting a physical inventory each month of print counts on each of these eight printers. • Add software allowing for direct scan to Laserfiche, the city’s digital archive repository. This will help facilitate the continued transition of city department records from a variety of sources to this central repository. • Upgrade hardware to MiCard BLE readers to give additional authentication options at the device and mobile access to release print and scan jobs. This allows use of a mobile device to authenticate at the printer and handle multiple card profiles. • Pay implementation and ongoing maintenance for additional software support due to card reader and image processing licensing involved in moving to a cloud solution. Note: Retirement of the current on-premise print server following this transition will result in nearly $8000 in savings over five years. Next steps: Following council authorization, the contract will be circulated for signatures. Implementation of the new multifunction printer equipment five-year lease will start in March 2024. Meeting: City council Meeting date: March 18, 2024 Consent agenda item: 5g Executive summary Title: Resolution authorizing special use permit amendment - Joppa Lane Apartments – Ward 1 Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution approving the special permit amendment Policy consideration: Does the proposal meet the requirements for these planning applications? Summary: The property located at 2888 Joppa Ln. and 4301 Minnetonka Blvd. (Joppa Lane Apartments) has a 40-year-old outdoor swimming pool constructed as part of a special permit. The pool has exceeded its useful life and is rarely utilized. The property owner seeks a minor amendment to the special permit to demolish the pool and replace it with alternate desirable outdoor amenities. The proposed project would comply with all other conditions of the special permit and zoning code. Minor amendments do not require a public hearing and may be approved on the city council’s consent agenda.

Since then, 144 market rate apartment units in four buildings have been constructed in 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1986. The property has a 40-year-old, outdoor swimming pool that was included in the special permit official exhibits approved by Resolution No. 85-136 dated September 16, 1985 (The “SP”). Changes to the official exhibits and a specific condition in the resolution require city approval. Present considerations: Joppa Lane Company LLP proposes to demolish an outdoor swimming pool on the property and replace it with alternative outdoor resident amenities. This amenity area would include a gravel walking path to a patio area with a pergola, grill station, synthetic lawn for games or passive recreation, seating, planters and landscaping. They also would develop a new amenity area on the northeast portion of the property for residents, including a gravel patio area, pergola with a grill station, natural gas fire pit, seating, bags playing area, bocce ball court and added landscaping. The applicant requests a special permit minor amendment to amend condition 4 of the special permit that required a swimming pool be constructed as shown on Exhibit “1”. Landscaping: The site is in compliance with the landscaping plan approved by the special permit. The plan proposes to plant 15 new trees (12 canopy and three ornamental), 119 shrubs, 370 grasses and 172 perennials which add to the current overall landscaping of the site. Two ash trees that were in the original plan have or will be removed. One was diseased and removed before the applicant submitted this request. The other is a 24-inch ash tree that also needs to be removed. The plan meets the requirements for a special permit amendment. The project would slightly decrease impervious surface area and increase the designed outdoor recreation area. Stormwater: When the south three apartment buildings were first approved in 1963, there was not a storm sewer system in the public right of way; the storm sewer system was built in 1965/1966. Condition 2 of the special permit was likely written for the site to be developed prior to the storm sewer system, which they knew was forthcoming. This condition was satisfied in 1966 and was not necessary to include in the 1985 amendment. Through this amendment process, staff recommend removing that condition from the special permit. Lighting: The applicant does not propose any lighting in the two amenity areas because they will mostly be used in the summer.

Policy consideration: Does the council support the proposed ordinance amending PUD 9 to change the allowed uses and change the site plan for the Zelia on Seven development? Summary: Bigos Management applied for an amendment to the planned unit development (PUD) for the properties located at 5855 and 5909 Highway 7. Zelia on Seven, formerly known as Via Sol, is a five story, mixed-use development that includes 217-unit market rate and affordable dwelling units and vacant commercial space. The building opened in 2022. The proposed changes require an amendment to Sec. 36-268 PUD-9 to remove the previously planned E-generation building, to allow use of the ground floor commercial for resident amenities, to allow but not require solar and wind energy systems and amend the site plan with the reconfigured outdoor amenity area to include a pool and deck and expanded surface parking lot to serve the present parking demand. The planning commission conducted a public hearing on March 6, 2024. No comments were received, and the planning commission recommended approval on a 5-1 vote. Financial or budget considerations: None Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development. Supporting documents: Discussion, draft ordinance, draft planning commission minutes, development plans Prepared by: Laura Chamberlain, senior planner Reviewed by: Sean Walther, planning manager/deputy community development director Approved by: Cindy Walsh, deputy city manager City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 2 Title: First reading of ordinance for planned unit development amendment – Zelia on Seven – Ward 2 Discussion Site information: Current use: Residential – multiple family Surrounding land uses: North: Highway 7 East: multi-family residential South: regional trail, light rail, freight rail West: Wooddale Ave, industrial Current zoning: PUD-9 2040 land use guidance: TOD – transit oriented development Site area (acres): 3.47 acres Background: In 2017, the city council approved a planned unit development for the redevelopment of the property to the north and south of the proposed Wooddale Avenue LRT station. The original PUD was adopted by Ordinance No. 2518-17 on May 1, 2017, establishing the PUD zoning regulations for the development. In 2021 the PUD zoning district was amended to only include redevelopment north of the Wooddale Avenue LRT station. Per the zoning requirements, in Ordinance No. 2615-21, the developer was required to construct the following: • Via Sol: A five-story, mixed-use, mixed-income building with 217 dwelling units including eight live/work units, and approximately 5,000 square feet of commercial space. • E-generation/greenhouse facility including an anaerobic digester and vertical greenhouse for urban agriculture. • A one-acre urban forest located parallel to the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 3 Title: First reading of ordinance for planned unit development amendment – Zelia on Seven – Ward 2 • 220 parking spaces, distributed as 99 underground, 56 surface and 65 on-street parking spaces, along with five car-share spaces. Construction of the Via Sol development began in January 2020 and the city issued a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) in July 2022. All components of the mixed-use building (building, parking and urban forest) were completed at that time, with the exception of the installation of rooftop solar panels, a solar canopy over the surface parking and the helical wind turbine. Similarly, construction had not commenced on the E-generation and greenhouse facility when the TCO for Via Sol was issued. Bigos Management acquired the building on December 28, 2023, through a distressed property sale. Present considerations: Bigos Management requests amendments to the planned unit development to remove the plans for the E-Generation/anaerobic digestor from the plan set and expand off-street parking at 5909 Highway 7 (Site A – West), and at 5855 Highway 7 (Site B – East) use the vacant commercial space for resident amenities. These would include a fitness area, work from home suites, a theater room, golf simulator, and game room. They would also build an outdoor pool deck area, with swimming pool, lounge chairs, cabanas, and BBQ area; while preserving the urban forest. The changes would also allow but not require solar and wind energy generation shown in the exhibits. The request requires amendments to the text of the PUD as well as updated exhibits to be included in the list of official exhibits for the PUD. In addition to the changes to the allowed uses, staff are taking this opportunity to update the names of the official exhibits of the original PUD submittal, to match what has been built today. The new exhibits have been added to the end of the list of Official Exhibits in the ordinance. Zoning analysis: Permitted uses Site A – West: The PUD currently allows for the site to have an anerobic digestor and accessory greenhouse. These uses are proposed to be removed from the ordinance. Site B – East: The applicant proposes to use the vacant commercial space for building amenities for the apartment residents. However, the PUD ordinance will continue to allow commercial use of the space. Continuing to allow commercial use reduces barriers to convert that part of the building for its intended purpose in the future when conditions allow. Off-street parking The PUD was approved requiring 220 parking spaces – these were accomplished through a combination of underground parking on Site B – East, surface parking spaces on Site A – West, on-street parking, as well as proof-of-parking that eventually a parking structure could be built over the location of the surface parking lot on Site A – West. Since construction of the building, due to changes in city policy, not all of the original 65 on- street parking spaces approved with the original PUD are viable based on the street width. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 4 Title: First reading of ordinance for planned unit development amendment – Zelia on Seven – Ward 2 Therefore, parking will only be permitted on one-side of the street, which reduces the overall number of available on-street parking spaces to 24 spaces adjacent to this development. To better meet the present parking demand, the new owners propose to expand the off-street parking lot on Site A – West by an additional 34 parking spaces. EV charging stations With the addition of 34 surface parking spaces, the applicant is required to add four more EV charging stations. The applicant has elected to add those EV charging stations to the current underground parking garage. There will now be a total of 12 EV charging stations in the underground parking garage and five existing EV charging stations on the surface parking lot. Designed outdoor recreation area The designed outdoor recreation areas for the property are not changing in size, however, the courtyard for the Zelia on Seven building on Site B – East will be rearranged to provide amenity spaces that are more appealing for residents. The urban forest will remain as is, the existing playground equipment will be removed and salvaged for use on another property, a smaller playground set will be installed and a landscaped grill area are also proposed. Finally, the existing grill area will be replaced with a pool and deck. Landscaping Site A – West: For the proposed expanded parking lot, the applicant plans to add 12 trees to the perimeter of the parking lot: three canopy trees, five evergreen trees, and four ornamental trees. An addition of 55 shrubs will provide perimeter screening between the parking lot and the right of way for Wooddale Avenue and the Highway 7 frontage road. The applicant and the city have identified the corner of Wooddale Avenue and the Highway 7 frontage road to be a good area for a future public art installation. As a condition of approval, the city will require a public art easement to be established for this location. Site B – East: With the proposed changes to the courtyard area, some of the trees originally planted during construction will be removed and replaced or relocated. The amenity spaces within the courtyard are being rearranged as well. The existing playground equipment will be removed, salvaged and used at another property owned by the applicant. It will be replaced by a smaller play structure and a BBQ/grill area. The current grill area is where the new pool and deck will be constructed. Overall, for the landscaping around Zelia on Seven, all the trees and shrubs that are being removed will be replaced one-to-one or with additional plantings. Solar and wind energy These components are being removed as requirements and would still be allowed. It appears unlikely that the rooftop wind energy system or the ground-mounted solar energy system over the parking lot will ever be installed.

Call to order – roll call. 2. Approval of minutes – Feb. 7, 2024. Commissioner Merten noted her name was misspelled on page 7 and should be “Merten” vs. “Mertens”. It was moved by Commissioner Weber, seconded by Commissioner Beneke, to approve the Feb. 7, 2024 minutes as amended. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Hearings. 3a. Zelia on seven – 5855 and 5909 Highway 7 planned unit development (PUD) amendment Applicant: Adam Neumann, on behalf of Bigos Management Case No: 24-04-PUD Mr. Walther presented the report. Commissioner Youngquist asked if there are affordable units within this development. Mr. Walther stated yes and added units that were at an 80% AMI have shifted and are now at 60% AMI, so there is deeper affordability although few units’ total. Commissioner Youngquist asked about features within the development including Rooftop solar and a solar array over the parking, as well as being LEAD certified and car share and if those are still part of the plan. Mr. Walther stated car share and EV electric are there currently and added the solar canopy will not move forward as planned. He added there currently is no solar on the rooftop, but noted it is solar ready, but it is being reviewed for removal from the PUD as a requirement. Commissioner Eckholm asked if there has been any analysis of demand pressure for the parking. Mr. Walther referred the commission to the developer to speak about this but noted staff recognizes that lack of parking has been a barrier to renting units in the building. He added street parking has been added but noted the city prefers this not be included, so as soon as a new improvement is added, on-street parking would be removed. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 15 Title: First reading of ordinance for planned unit development amendment – Zelia on Seven – Ward 2 Commissioner Merten asked if more parking is needed because of light rail coming in. Mr. Walther stated yes, that is one of the pressures. He added when the development first came about, staff was looking to provide parking on both sides of the frontage road, and noted they are still working to manage this. Commissioner Weber noted he understands the parking constraints, but added he is not sure this piece of land will be amenable to having a larger development. He stated the current project as presented does meet the city standards, but asked if the city would rather have a development rather than a parking lot on the piece of land in question. Mr. Walther stated yes and noted once LRT is operating and there is a reduced demand for parking, there may be opportunities for building on this site. He stated this ordinance would allow changes to the site for now and leaves possibilities open for future development . Chair Divecha asked if the space might be converted back to commercial, and also if in the near term the PUD removes the possibility of a commercial business coming in. Mr. Walther stated yes, that is correct. Commissioner Merten asked if the original PUD included development south of the light rail. Mr. Walther stated yes and added that went away in 2021. Chair Divecha opened the public hearing. Commissioner Merten asked if there is access to the light rail station for pedestrians. Mr. Walther stated there is no direct access and crossing can only be done at Wooddale Ave. He added the regional trail does also provide a direct connection. Chair Divecha closed the public hearing. Commissioner Weber stated the street parking is difficult for that area. He added it is an interesting development and is limited, and he does appreciate the need for expansion, and he will support this. Commissioner Youngquist stated the original project was pretty aspirational and made many promises that the developer was not able to deliver . He added there are concessions that have been made and the city is not getting exchange for the flexibility provided by a PUD. She stated however she does understand this is a difficult situation and Bigos is coming in to rectify an issue. She stated although she does not love the PUD amendment, she realizes the city will not see what was promised in the original agreement, and she will be voting in favor. Commissioner Eckholm added everything in the PUD does make sense but noted more surface parking next to a $2.5 billion public transit system is difficult, even if there will be something else there at some point. He stated he does not want to see a temporary parking lot become a permanent parking lot next to one of the city’s largest TOD spots. He added for that reason he will not support this. Chair Divecha agreed with Commissioner Eckholm’s comments, noting it feels like a short-term fix. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 16 Title: First reading of ordinance for planned unit development amendment – Zelia on Seven – Ward 2 Commissioner Beneke agreed also and added trying to use the space for a parking lot vs. more living space does not seem like a good solution. Mr. Walther added this building will still have a LEAD certification and added there will be 217 units total, 22 of which are affordable at 50% AMI and 65 affordable at 60% AMI. He stated 8 units are approved for live work space as well. Commissioner Weber asked if these amendments could be approved and then sunset 3-5 years after the opening of the LRT. Mr. Walther stated that is not allowed and the only way to do that would be if there was an interim use permit, which the city has not adopted, so the PUD must be in perpetuity until it is amended. Commissioner Merten stated it was approved with parking as well as a parking structure which could be added. Mr. Walther pointed out there was approval of structured parking, but that was unfunded. Chair Divecha asked what impacts might develop if this were not approved. Commissioner Weber stated these developments come to the city on a timeline and must be approved or not within that timeframe. Mr. Walther stated the project is within the process deadline, but there are other urgent deadlines on the project. Commissioner Eckholm stated he would be more inclined to approve a redesigned project that amends the parking extension and allows everything else in the PUD. Mr. Neumann spoke on behalf of Bigos Management. He stated the amount of parking proposed to be added is 34 spaces, which is not a large area. He added the building did go into receivership and lots of money was lost, and there is still outstanding money from TIF that would benefit the city if the project were successful. He stated bike spaces and other amenities for residents will be helpful. Chair Divecha asked if 34 spots will satisfy the demand for parking at the project. Mr. Neumann stated it will help make it significantly better, adding they worked with the city to get some street parking for 9 spaces because the parking situation was dire. Commissioner Weber asked if Bigos will be the long-term owner of the building or if they are just assisting with the turnaround of the project. Mr. Neumann stated Bigos intends to hold onto this development for many years. Commissioner Weber asked if there is a verbal commitment that Bigos can give regarding the parcel of land for parking. Mr. Neumann stated Bigos is open to the option of that. He added they would not be investing in parking just for the sake of adding more parking. He noted parking here is more necessary than switching the commercial space or adding amenities, but also noted they are open to changes over time. Commissioner Merten asked how the city might lose money if this project were unsuccessful. Mr. Walther stated he could not answer that correctly, so would refrain from answering. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 7a) Page 17 Title: First reading of ordinance for planned unit development amendment – Zelia on Seven – Ward 2 Commissioner Youngquist asked if Bigos has ever participated in Metro Transits Residential Pass program. Mr. Neumann stated he did not believe so but stated he has discussed this with staff as a way to help residents use public transportation. Commissioner Eckholm asked if market conditions became more favorable, would Bigos replace the parking lot with an active use or not. Mr. Neumann stated he is not sure how to answer that, but stated Bigos would have to underwrite and look at losses to see how that would all fit together to sustain. He added there is really no space to put another building there, but noted this is too hypothetical to be able to answer. Mr. Walther stated from the city’s standpoint, staff did an enormous amount of traffic studies and future projections and have maximized the development on the site. He stated it was approved and stated to make the building stabilized and successful, the change is a 34-parking spot extension for a total of 90 spots, and the loss of a commercial building which was intended to be a greenhouse and e-gen building. He added there might only be space for a small commercial building on that site that shares parking with the residential. He added another 200 unit building on this site would most likely never happen. Chair Divecha stated she will support this project due to extenuating circumstances. It was moved by Commissioner Weber, seconded by Commissioner Youngquist, to approve the PUD amendment with conditions listed in the staff report. The motion passed 5-1 (Commissioner Eckholm opposed). 3b. 6300 Walker Street conditional use permit (CUP) Applicant: St. Louis Park Public Schools Case No: 24-07-CUP Mr. Walther presented the report. Commissioner Merten asked where the fill is being moved to and from. Mr. Walther stated they would be exported offsite, on Hwy. 7 and not through residential areas. Mr. Walther added there is a requirement of the city that anything in excess of 400 cubic yards must have a CUP. He added this is the only work that requires this review. Chair Divecha opened the public hearing. There were no speakers. Chair Divecha closed the public hearing. It was moved by Commissioner Beneke, seconded by Commissioner Eckholm, to approve the CUP with conditions listed in the staff report. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Other Business – none.

Policy consideration: Does the city council support the infrastructure improvements included in Hennepin County's reconstruction project? Summary: On Dec. 5, 2022, the city council approved the preliminary layout for the Minnetonka Boulevard project (from Highway 100 to France Avenue). Over the last 15 months, Hennepin County has put together final plans and specifications. On Feb. 12, 2024, the council was provided with a report detailing changes to the project scope that were made during the final design. The bids for this project are expected to be opened this spring, with construction beginning in early July. To prepare for the start of construction, Hennepin County is finalizing agreements with the city for various components of the construction and operation of the reconstructed corridor. Hennepin County has provided a cooperative construction agreement for review and approval by the city. This agreement is needed to clarify the cost and maintenance responsibilities for the infrastructure being constructed as a part of this project. The agreement was developed using Hennepin County's current cost participation and maintenance policy and has been reviewed and found acceptable by the city attorney and staff. Financial or budget considerations: This is a Hennepin County led project with an estimated cost of $23,192,273. The city's share of the project cost, $6,566,133, is included in the city's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2024 and 2025. Funding will be provided using utility funds and general obligation (GO) bonds. Additional information on the costs and funding can be found in the discussion section of the 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.

Over the last 15 months, Hennepin County has put together final plans and specifications. The bids for this project are expected to be opened this spring, with construction beginning in early July. To prepare for the start of construction, Hennepin County is finalizing agreements with the city for various components of the construction and operation of the reconstructed corridor. Cooperative construction agreement: Hennepin County has provided a cooperative construction agreement for review and approval by the city. This agreement is needed to clarify the cost and maintenance responsibilities for this project. The agreement was developed using Hennepin County's current cost participation and maintenance policy and spells out the responsibilities of both the county and city as they relate to construction, ownership and maintenance of the infrastructure constructed with the project. This agreement is attached and has been reviewed and found acceptable by the city attorney and staff. Hennepin County will administer the construction contract for this project. City staff will attend the weekly construction meetings and work with the county's field staff to ensure that our utilities are constructed per city requirements. We will also coordinate with the Hennepin County communications team to ensure that project information is provided to our residents and business owners. Additional enhanced pedestrian crossing at Lynn Avenue: Staff recommends the installation of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) at Lynn Avenue. This recommendation is based on a request received at the open house #3 on Jan. 30, 2024. The proposed RRFB is on a direct route from high-density residential to the Beltline Boulevard Light Rail Station. Lynn Avenue has received other recent improvements, including a traffic signal at County Road 25 and the construction of sidewalk on both sides of the street. Staff believes it is beneficial to create a safer connection at this location between the neighborhood and transit, for both bus transit on Minnetonka Boulevard and the Beltline LRT station. The cost and ownership of this RRFB will be the city's responsibility. The estimated cost for installation of the RRFB at Lynn Avenue is $35,000. Concrete road surface: The county will construct Minnetonka Boulevard using concrete. The use of concrete provides a longer-lasting surface than bituminous. Concrete construction has some challenges as well. The concrete will need at least seven (7) days of cure time before a vehicle can drive on it and 28 days to reach maximum strength. Staff will work with Hennepin County to ensure the residents are aware of any access restrictions to their driveways. Also, the work will be coordinated to minimize the amount of time a resident or business is unable to use their driveway. The county will request a noise permit from the city during the construction of the street. In order to prevent cracking of the newly constructed concrete road, the contractor will need to saw joints at a specific time. To complete the work according to specifications, some of this work may occur late at night or early morning. Staff will work with Hennepin County to minimize the amount of work taking place late at night or early morning as much as possible. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 7b) Page 3 Title: Resolution approving cooperative agreement for Minnetonka Boulevard improvements with Hennepin County (4023-7000) – Ward 1 Financial or budget considerations: This project was included in the CIP for 2024 and 2025. Please see table below for additional information regarding the project costs and funding. Costs CIP Engineer's estimate Construction cost $6,403,933 $4,470,605 Engineering and administration $1,600,982 $1,095,528 Land acquisition/ right of way $500,000 $1,000,000 Total $8,504,915 $6,566,133 Funding Sources GO Bonds $4,656,251 $3,362,976 Sanitary sewer $411,164 $691,995 Watermain $3,437,500 $2,511,161 Total $8,504,915 $6,566,133 The sanitary sewer costs for this project are approximately $280,000 more than the CIP estimate. This is due to additional work that was identified during a recent inspection of the sanitary sewer line. To offset this additional cost staff will reduce the budget for our annual lining project by $280,000. Next steps: Staff is currently working with Xcel Energy on the agreement to underground the overhead utilities. We expect to request approval of this agreement at the April 1, 2024 city council meeting. Hennepin County will begin removing the trees in the area of the 2024 construction starting the week of March 18. They expect the contractor to have all tree removals complete by the end of the week. Staff is preparing for the underground work for Xcel Energy to begin mid-April. Hennepin County expects their construction contractor to begin work in early July.

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview and framework of the planned discussions in the study sessions included in the connected infrastructure system. Policy consideration: Throughout the discussions in this system, the council will be asked specific policy questions relating to the topic discussed. Additionally, during these discussions, staff would like council to reflect on the following question (not to be answered at this time): • Do the current connected infrastructure policies meet the desired goal/ outcome to continue to provide a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably? Summary: Over the coming weeks, a series of discussions will be held and information will be provided regarding the Vision 3.0 strategic priority of connected infrastructure. Some of these are council- directed and others are staff-initiated. This is the third time that we have covered this strategic priority. This report serves as grounding for all the discussions and includes a broad overview of past activity, frameworks used when considering connected infrastructure, and current programming and events. The foundation for staff to develop connected infrastructure projects and implement programs are the plans and policies approved by the city council. To kick off the discussion of this system, the staff is providing council with an overview of our connected infrastructure capital improvement planning and a summary of the guiding documents for reference. Financial or budget considerations: Funds are budgeted in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for connected infrastructure projects. Should the council desire a change in work surrounding connected infrastructure, additional resources may be required. 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 New sidewalk planning framework – May 2023 Living streets policy – August 2019 Comprehensive plan 2040 - Chapter 6 Mobility – 2018 Ownership and replacement of private improvements in public right of way Complete streets – June 2013 Prepared by: Debra Heiser, engineering director Reviewed by: Jack Sullivan, engineering project manager; Phillip Elkin, engineering services manager Approved by: Cindy Walsh, deputy city manager City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 8a) Page 2 Title: Connected infrastructure system introduction Discussion Background: Connected infrastructure is the first of the five strategic priorities to have a third series of study sessions. The special study session schedule was adjusted to discuss this topic earlier in the year to ensure that there is time to incorporate policy direction into the 2025 CIP and budget process. As shown on the "What's under my street?" graphic (attachment), much of the public infrastructure that the city is responsible for is underground. Since repair and replacement of this underground infrastructure usually requires that the street be dug up, the most cost-effective time to replace the underground utilities is when the streets are replaced. This is also true for the new construction and replacement of above-ground improvements, such as sidewalks and bikeways. Completing the construction of new infrastructure and the replacement of existing infrastructure at the same time the street is replaced provides greater flexibility in design, reduces the inconvenience to the public and provides the city with economies of scale for construction. In light of this, when possible, our existing approach to connected infrastructure planning is driven by pavement condition. By doing this, the city maximizes its investment by not digging up streets until they have reached the end of their useful life. Infrastructure serves all of us: We're all reliant on high-quality infrastructure - whether we're pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, or in personal vehicles. The city's connected infrastructure includes sidewalks, bikeways, streets, alleys and underground utilities. Infrastructure is directly linked to the economic development and growth of a city. It acts as a catalyst, providing people with connections to basic needs such as emergency response, health care, education, food resources, transportation, safety, job opportunities and more. Infrastructure provides direct positive impacts, including efficiency, increased safety, decreased environmental impact, and more effective delivery of public goods and services. Most people don't typically think about infrastructure unless it is in bad condition, damaged or not working. Many of our roads and alleys are used by bicyclists, pedestrians and rollers (e.g., scooters, people using wheelchairs), in addition to vehicles. These users are more sensitive to cracks, potholes and bad drainage than vehicles. Transit, solid waste and emergency services also rely on our system to serve our community. As a result, maintaining our roads and alleys in good condition provides an important community benefit beyond that of single-occupancy vehicles. Infrastructure condition: Proactively planning for the replacement of infrastructure is essential for our city to thrive and grow. To support this, the city has a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that describes the capital improvements and expenditures planned over the next ten (10) years. It is a statement of the city's policies and financial ability to manage infrastructure investment in the community. Engineering oversees the CIP for construction, maintenance and replacement of public infrastructure, including bridges, bikeways, sidewalks, streets, alleys, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, watermain and signal systems. The CIP is reviewed and revised annually with input from public works staff. To plan for the future and coordinate work with other government jurisdictions, the city identifies the years when improvements will be initiated and what funding sources will be used to pay for them. The updated proposed CIP is presented to the city council as part of the annual budget development process. A final CIP for the following year is adopted, along with the annual budget in December. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 8a) Page 3 Title: Connected infrastructure system introduction Guiding documents: Attached are several existing city policies and plans that are used in developing connected infrastructure projects, responding to requests from the public and identifying funding needs. A summary of these policies and plans, along with when they were approved, is below: 1. New sidewalk planning framework – May 2023 The New sidewalk planning framework was developed to lay out how staff will identify the location of new sidewalk segments to be evaluated for construction in association with a transportation project. Inclusion at the planning stage in the process does not predetermine final recommendations. The decision on whether to construct proposed sidewalk segments will be made by the city council as a part of the project approval process. 2. Ownership and replacement of private improvements in public right of way – July 2022 The city's right of way contains many privately owned improvements. This policy defines the party responsible for replacement or reconstruction of these private improvements as the city undertakes maintenance, construction and storm cleanup operations in the public right of way. 3. Living streets policy – August 2019 This policy guides how the scope of our transportation projects is developed. It is not meant to be a prescriptive "one size fits all" policy covering every contingency. Instead, it establishes principles that will be applied to each project as it goes through the planning and design process. Engineering uses the principles to develop the project scope and the recommended design to be presented to the city council. Ultimately the final decision on all items incorporated into a transportation project is made by the city council. 4. Comprehensive plan 2040 - Chapter 6 Mobility – 2018 The Mobility chapter of the comprehensive plan includes several system goals and strategies that are our connected infrastructure strategic priority. The comprehensive plan is updated every ten (10) years; the next update is scheduled for 2028. 5. Complete streets – June 2017 The city council approved a resolution that formalized the city's ongoing support to utilize complete streets principles in transportation planning and community design. The approval of the Living streets policy built on this resolution to create additional guidance for connected infrastructure. 6. Connect the Park – June 2013 Connect the Park is the city's implementation plan to create more bikeways, sidewalks and trails throughout the community. The specific locations of the individual segments in the plan were identified by a citizen advisory committee as a part of the Active Living Sidewalk and Trail Plan. The Connect the Park plan was finalized with community input through a process that took several years. The city council approved the plan in 2013 and construction began in 2015. The plan segments in the right of way are constructed in conjunction with pavement rehabilitation projects when possible. This is done to minimize inconvenience to the public, maximize flexibility in design and for economies of scale. If there is not a pavement rehabilitation project in the CIP for a City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 8a) Page 4 Title: Connected infrastructure system introduction segment included in the Connect the Park, it is programmed as a standalone project. General obligation bonds are used to pay for this new infrastructure. Present considerations: The topics listed below are scheduled to be brought before the council over the coming months. They all center on connected infrastructure policy and offer opportunities to consider how connected infrastructure is planned for, constructed and maintained in the city. These topics will examine current programs and offer opportunities, identified by both council and staff, for expansion or adjustment where applicable. Absent any policy changes, city staff will continue to develop connected infrastructure programs and projects at the level they exist at today. Next steps: Throughout the discussions in this system, the council will be asked to provide policy direction that will shape the connected infrastructure strategy in the city. Connected infrastructure system topics: Topic Description Introduction to connected infrastructure Report provides a high-level overview of the study session system. Special service districts 101 This report will provide an overview of special service districts (SSDs), including: • History of SSDs in St. Louis Park • Services provided and infrastructure inventory • Maintenance contracts • Planning development contracts Bulk material containers in the right of way City ordinance prohibits bulk material containers on any city property or right of way. Examples of bulk material containers are dumpsters, tubs, pods or soft-sided dumpster bags. During the 2023 connected infrastructure system, the council provided staff direction that they would support allowing bulk material containers in the right of way under certain circumstances. This report will provide the council with an update on staff- recommended ordinance changes. Speed limit evaluation In 2021, the city code was updated to give authority to the city engineer to establish speed limits for city streets in accordance with Mn Statute section 169.14, after completing a safety engineering and traffic analysis. This analysis was completed and presented to the city council in early 2021. In late 2021, the new speed limits were installed citywide. The speed limit evaluation report included a commitment to do a follow-up study within three (3) years of implementation. This report is a summary of the follow-up study. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 8a) Page 5 Title: Connected infrastructure system introduction Basket-weave stop signs In the fall of 2022, during the connected infrastructure study session system, the basket-weave stop sign approach to traffic controls was identified as a systems approach to the evaluation of intersection control. Basket-weave stop sign implementation has been shown to reduce accidents and increase stop sign compliance. The first application of this system approach was in November 2023, when staff implemented basket-weave stop signs along 29th Street between Louisiana and Texas avenues. This was in response to requests from the neighborhood to install stop signs at uncontrolled intersections. Overall, this implementation was well received. Based on neighborhood feedback during the public process for the 2024 PMP, staff have identified two additional areas for basket-weave implementation. They are in the Minikahda Vista and Browndale neighborhoods. Prior to informing the public of the changes to traffic control, staff wanted to share the changes with the council. This report will provide an overview of the data collected and recommended changes to intersection control in these neighborhoods. Infrastructure project development process This discussion will focus on the projects in the 10-year CIP that engineering is responsible for delivering. Staff will provide an in-depth overview of the existing 10-year CIP, how it was developed, what is included and who it serves. Three Rivers CP rail regional trail Discussion of Three Rivers Park District's long-range planning study for the Canadian Pacific (CP) Rail Regional Trail Segment C. This segment would connect the Cedar Lake Trail in St. Louis Park to the Luce Line Trail in Golden Valley. In 2023, Three Rivers conducted public engagement for this north-south trail connection. On Nov. 13, 2023, Three Rivers staff presented a summary and preliminary staff recommendations for the route to the council. Community members also had an opportunity to share comments and ask questions. In response to public comments and questions, Three Rivers agreed to come back to the city council for additional discussion prior to bringing the route to council for support. Infrastructure projects not in the 10-year capital plan Staff will provide an overview of infrastructure projects not currently included in the 10-year CIP. City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 8a) Page 6 Title: Connected infrastructure system introduction Utility risk assessment study review Staff will present the findings of the recently completed Utility risk assessment study. Stormwater 101 This presentation will provide an overview of stormwater management from the city's perspective.

Title: Connected infrastructure system introduction Page 76 Meeting: City council Meeting date: March 18, 2024 Communications and Announcements: 8b Executive summary Title: Special Service Districts 101 Recommended action: None. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the city’s special service districts (SSDs). Policy consideration: None Summary: A special service district (SSD) is outlined in Minn. Statute 428A.01 as “a defined area within the city where special services are rendered and the costs of the special services are paid from revenues collected from service charges imposed within that area.” St. Louis Park has six SSDs that were created between 1996 and 2009. Every ten years, the districts are recertified by council resolution to approve multi-year service charges that cover the cost of special services and maintenance activities that exceed standard levels of city service. The city’s cost for replacement of assets or infrastructure in SSDs at end-of-life are not funded through the multi-year service charges and are not currently funded in capital improvement projects budget. Staff have identified infrastructure that is beginning to reach end-of-life and will need to budget for replacement over the next five to ten years. Examples include fencing, banner poles, irrigation systems and pavers. Staff will have a report ready for council in early 2025 to discuss funding options and replacement of SSD items. Financial or budget considerations: None at this time, however, staff will return to council at a future date to discuss funding options to replace aging SSD infrastructure. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable. Supporting documents: Discussion Attachment 1 - SSD streetscape maps Prepared by: Kala Fisher, public services superintendent/deputy public works director Reviewed by: Sean Walther, planning manager/deputy community development director Jay Hall, public works director Approved by: Cindy Walsh, deputy city manager City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 8b) Page 2 Title: Special Service Districts 101 Discussion Background: A special service district (SSD) is outlined in state statute as “a defined area within the city where special services are rendered and the costs of the special services are paid from revenues collected from service charges imposed within that area.” This means that unique or higher-level services than are typically funded by the general fund may be provided. These districts may be established anywhere in the city but are typically in areas where businesses are concentrated. Until recently, service charges were only allowed to be imposed on businesses. However, a July 2023 law allows SSDs the option to include certain multifamily properties in new and existing districts. Currently, only commercial business and city-owned properties are charged service fees in St. Louis Park’s SSDs. The Rec Center, located in SSD 1, is the largest contributor to the district. History: St. Louis Park has six SSDs that were created between 1996 and 2009. General areas are outlined below and detailed maps showing the streetscapes where services are provided in each district are included as attachments to this report. • SSD 1 – 36th Street between Highway 100 and Beltline Boulevard, Park Center Boulevard, and Excelsior Boulevard between Highway 100 and Quentin Avenue • SSD 2 – Excelsior Boulevard between Monterey and France Avenues • SSD 3 – Excelsior Boulevard between Quentin and Monterey Avenues • SSD 4 – Excelsior Boulevard between Louisiana Avenue and Highway 100 • SSD 5 – Park Place Boulevard between 394 and Cedar Lake Road • SSD 6 – 36th Street between Wooddale Avenue and Highway 100 To cover the cost of maintenance activities, the city has historically established the ability to impose multi-year service charges every ten years by council resolution. That resolution also outlines the maximum percentage of increase in budget and service charge for each subsequent year. Each year thereafter council approves the service charges based on budgeted expenses. The next district scheduled for this recertification process is SSD 4, which will occur in 2025. The 2024 total annual budget for the six districts combined is $304,631. Additional details are included in the table below. Table 1.

There was a planning effort to address concerns with the corridor (safety, bus transit, parking, aesthetics, landscaping, community image) and strategies for how to sustain it. Initially, the city approached owners in the area that is now SSD 1 with a proposed improvement plan above and beyond normal improvements. At that time, the city indicated the service district would be necessary to maintain the proposed improvements, if the owners agreed the improvement plan was desirable. The formal process to create the district did not begin until the city received a petition from the requisite property owners. The city then lobbied for special legislation to create a special service district. The city’s approach was to pay for the initial capital improvements in a service district in an attempt to maintain a higher level of improvements. Districts were created in conjunction with phases of public improvements and tailored to meet the needs of the adjacent area. Present considerations: The Special Service Districts are a benefit to businesses and the city for several reasons. They help maintain the improvements made in the district, promote a positive image of the business corridor and attract customers to the area. Maintaining the improvements along these corridors is funded by the SSD service charges. As the current SSD contracts are written, the cost to replace the public improvements at the end of life is the responsibility of the city. Information is included below to outline services and assets in each district. Services provided and inventory of aging assets: Table 2.

These include recycling containers, custom bus shelters, bus stop monuments, monument gateway sign(s), planters, parking lot screen walls, boulevard trees, custom planter boxes, irrigation systems, electrical systems, fencing, bollards, banner poles, pavers, pedestrian light poles and decorative street light poles. Some of these assets are nearing end-of-life, especially with the two oldest SSDs ranging in age from 27-28 years old.

SSD maintenance contracts Maintenance of assets constructed in the districts is done by city staff or contractors and paid for through SSD service charges. Examples of work covered through contracts are landscape planting and maintenance, sidewalk snow removal, winter lighting, and public receptacle trash removal. Maintenance covered by the city include some electrical and irrigation system maintenance, banner installation/maintenance. As previously stated, the city is responsible for replacement of infrastructure at end-of life. Planning development contracts In addition to SSDs, the city has agreements with several private developments to care for public streetscape elements adjacent to their properties. In some cases, these agreements overlap and supplement the SSDs. In others, they extend the SSDs improvements beyond the boundary of the SSD into the adjacent private development. Four districts have adjacent private developments with privately maintained public improvements. The maintenance agreements outlined in conjunction with these planning development contracts are made between the owner/developer and the city. The owner/developer is responsible for maintenance not included in SSD contracts and the city is responsible in most cases for replacement of infrastructure at end-of life. Table 4. Adjacent development(s) with maintenance agreements SSD 1 None SSD 2 Bridgewater Bank, Ellipse on Excelsior, e2 SSD 3 Excelsior and Grand, 4900 Excelsior SSD 4 None SSD 5 Shops at West End SSD 6 Hoigaard Village, The Elmwood, TowerLight City council meeting of March 18, 2024 (Item No. 8b) Page 5 Title: Special Service Districts 101 In cases where private development built compatible public streetscape elements into their development beyond the boundaries of the SSD with city approval, the city may similarly be obligated to replace those elements at the end of their lifespan. For example, some but not all of the streetscape improvements on the city streets in Excelsior and Grand fit this category. Those, too, may have assets that need to be incorporated into the city’s CIP and funding sources will need to be identified. Next steps: The city’s cost for replacement of infrastructure in SSDs at end-of-life are not currently included in the CIP. Staff have identified infrastructure that is beginning to reach end-of-life, especially in the oldest districts within the city. Staff will have a report in early 2025 to discuss costs and potential funding options to replace the SSD amenities. 1111 Special Service District Parcels - Special Service District# 1 3777 3777 5400 3800 Streetscape area covered by SSD 3700 3700 3700 3800 3700 0 300 600 900 1,200 US Feet lff St. Louis Park IJJ M I N N E S OT A J><p<-,o�n,:.,:, 1--ff"i,. ,n fh� f'.lY,:.
