Staff present: Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Assistant Zoning Administrator (Mr. Morrison), Director of Community Development (Ms. Barton), City Assessor (Mr. Bultema), Appraiser (Mr. Jurick), Appraiser (Ms. Clark), Senior Planner (Mr. Walther), Housing Supervisor (Ms. Schnitker), Communications Manager (Ms. Smith), Management Assistant (Ms. Carrillo Perez), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas). Guest: None. 1. Future study session agenda planning – April, 2019 Mayor Spano will be out on April 15-16, as will Councilmember Miller so they will not be in attendance at the council meeting or the joint council and school board meetings. Councilmember Rog asked about the placemaking project on public art. Ms. Deno stated a written report is scheduled for council on April 8 during the study session, adding by May 6 a final decision will be needed. She noted the project is still on time with regard to federal funding. Councilmember Rog stated this will need more conversation by the council, especially as it relates to the Historic Walker District. Councilmember Hallfin stated the city is already exploring projects like this, along with the Friends of the Arts. Councilmember Rog stated more community engagement is needed on this project. Mayor Spano stated the council should discuss this further, if staff has the report ready on April 8. Councilmember Mavity added she would like the report to provide the cost of placemaking in other areas and what the costs are. Mayor Spano added because this was removed from the SWLRT, possibly the city can add placemaking back into SWLRT. 2. Outdoor parking lighting ordinance Mr. Morrison presented the report. He stated an ordinance was presented to council on January 7, 2019 establishing standards for electric vehicle supply equipment and revised City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 3a) Page 2 Title: Study session minutes of March 25, 2019 lighting requirements for parking lots. The council approved the electric vehicle standards, but tabled the parking lot lighting revisions. Mr. Morrison reviewed the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommendations, noting this is an accredited organization that is recognized as a technical and educational authority on illumination. He added the purpose of the proposed changes are to provide safe, secure and effective lighting for users of parking lots in the city, and reconcile conflicting provisions in the current ordinance. The changes allow for more lighting during business hours in order to address the needs of all users, require lighting to be reduced after business hours, and continue to protect neighboring properties from nuisances that can be caused by outdoor lighting. Councilmember Harris asked about impacts of the conflicts in the city code. Mr. Morrison stated there are inconsistencies between the lighting requirements listed in the parking section of the code, and the standards required in the lighting section of the code. Councilmember Harris asked if the change in city code is coming from general housekeeping issues or from business owner’s requests. Mr. Morrison stated there is some housekeeping, but mostly the intent is to reconcile the differences. Councilmember Mavity asked about the space that light can spill onto a boundary line at ½ foot-candle, and if that is a proposed change for residential only. Mr. Morrison stated that the code currently allows up to ½ footcandle at the property line adjacent to residential, and that is not proposed to change. Councilmember Mavity asked if the limits at the property line affects residential single or multi family. Mr. Morrison stated the limitation affects both. Councilmember Mavity asked if this would be enforced. Mr. Morrison stated yes, adding that the city conducts inspections, especially when complaints are received. He added if the property owner is in violation, they are required to make a correction to the lighting. Councilmember Mavity noted light pollution is an issue, related to how wide upward lighting spreads. Mr. Morrison stated that current code requires parking lot lighting to be downward cast lights. Councilmember Rog asked about the lighting at Westside Volkswagen, and if it will be allowed to continue as is after adoption of the amended ordinance. Mr. Morrison stated Westside Volkswagen intends to replace their existing lighting with LED’s, adding that the light levels on the site will be reduced as a result. Councilmember Hallfin noted that the city needs to hold itself to these standards. Mayor Spano stated he agrees with the policy, and appreciated examples of parking lot lighting levels provided by staff. He noted his experience living behind Methodist Hospital, and the issue with lighting at their parking ramp, adding the lights there were shielded to reduce glare. He stated also that plantings can help shield lighting and this should be considered when dealing City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 3a) Page 3 Title: Study session minutes of March 25, 2019 with lighting issues. He asked that city staff go back to locations and view the lighting after new installations take place, in order to review and be certain it is correct. It was the consensus of the council to direct staff to bring the proposed ordinance changes as presented to the council for formal consideration. Mr. Morrison stated the first reading of the ordinance will take place at the April 15th council meeting. 3. Affordable housing strategies and tenant protection tools Ms. Schnitker noted four proposed initiatives, and reviewed amending the inclusionary housing policy to expand the eligibility criteria and include a one-for-one NOAH unit replacement requirement. She added the policy only applies to developments seeking a PUD and land use approvals and/or a comprehensive plan amendment. Councilmember Rog noted that some communities, including Bloomington, are now requiring affordable housing in all new developments. Ms. Schnitker stated while staff does not know the details of Bloomington’s ordinance, they could be a greater risk of litigation related to applying the requirements to all developments regardless of the circumstances. Ms. Barton stated St. Louis Park has been concerned about inclusionary zoning and stayed away from blanket requirements. Councilmember Harris asked about the empty parking lot by Erik’s bike shop and if there could be a lower density building there. Mr. Walther stated this area is being studied. Councilmember Miller stated he has concerns about losing affordability with the one for one replacement amendment. Councilmember Mavity noted the city’s goal has been to expand the number of triggers to the policy, and to apply the inclusionary housing policy as wide and broad as possible. She added the Bloomington model is interesting, and worth considering. Councilmember Mavity asked what happens if there is major rehabilitation to a home, is there a trigger amount to help define this. Ms. Schnitker stated no, the policy does not apply to developments undergoing rehab unless they are adding 10 or more dwelling units as part of the rehabilitation project. Councilmember Mavity stated the concern then is the city losing units to folks who come in and fix up existing units. Councilmember Rog stated she has concerns about the eviction notices amendment, adding that most folks don’t show up for court dates, and also have no legal assistance. She hopes the city can help with this process and provide emergency rental assistance, noting the county assistance programs take 30 days. She added STEP could be a partner to help provide emergency assistance quicker, which could make a big difference for folks. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 3a) Page 4 Title: Study session minutes of March 25, 2019 Ms. Schnitker stated the city provided $60,000 to STEP for funding their emergency assistance program, which assists persons facing eviction. She added this pays rental assistance for one month only, allowing them to stay in their home. Councilmember Mavity stated Minneapolis created a program that is a public private partnership along with 12 law firms that work pro bono to support tenants in need. She stated representation for tenant’s matters dramatically, and helps folks stay in their homes. She stated she would like to explore something similar for St. Louis Park. Mayor Spano stated the city may be able to participate in the Minneapolis program, and provide financial support to the program - in order to be included. Councilmember Harris asked how many evictions occur in St. Louis Park annually. Ms. Schnitker stated that there is information by zip code, but that the reporting of eviction information is at the annual rental license renewal process. Councilmember Hallfin added as a building owner, he finds the eviction notice a burden on landlords, especially those with larger properties, adding he does not agree with this amendment. Ms. Barton noted there have been many studies on evictions, and many people don’t understand if you don’t pay rent, you must leave. This 14-day eviction notice gives folks time to be notified and do something about the situation. Councilmember Brausen stated he wants to do everything possible to preserve or create affordable housing in St. Louis Park adding, however, as an attorney, he works on a daily basis on evictions. He stated in Hennepin County there is volunteer legal assistance available, but the process takes time. Councilmember Brausen also noted, at some point, the landlord is entitled to get paid. He added he sees a vast number of tenants agree to move out and negotiate for clearing their records. He pointed out, however, if a person has no record, how does a landlord know they won’t pay rent. He stated he wants folks to have affordable housing, but he is hesitant to support this. Councilmember Miller stated he supports all four amendments. He added he is not certain if folks being evicted know about resources available to them. Councilmember Brausen pointed out that when residents receive a notice, all the resources are listed out, and in multiple languages. Councilmember Mavity stated the council might want to consider a study session including more about what other cities are doing and what policies are in place. She added possibly a representative from MN Legal Aid could speak to the council about challenges in the existing system, and problems that tenants have. She added again that representation is an important City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 3a) Page 5 Title: Study session minutes of March 25, 2019 piece of this process, and she wants to see if there are ways to do this more holistically and provide other supports to tenants. Councilmember Harris asked what are ways used to resolve issues with eviction for tenants in the city’s public housing. Ms. Schnitker stated in public housing, rents are affordable and based on a person’s income. Some folks are chronic late payers, use funds for other things, while not making rent a priority. However, she added, the city wants to work with residents so they are not evicted, and here is where STEP or the county may come in, however, residents have to pay their rent to stay. Councilmember Rog stated she supports all four amendments and appreciates the fluidity and re-looking at this, adding she is interested in trying this out now, and also looking at legal representation later. Councilmember Harris stated she also supports all four amendments. Mayor Spano and Councilmembers Hallfin and Brausen are in favor of all of the amendments except #3, adding they need a better understanding. It was the consensus of the council to have staff move forward with the proposed initiatives/amendments 1, 2, and 4, to send back initiative/amendment 3 for further review, and to allow the council to further discuss it in depth at a future study session. 4. Crime/drug free rental ordinance workgroup applications Ms. Schnitker presented an outline of a proposed process for convening the crime/drug free rental ordinance workgroup at the January 14, 2019 study session, and a revised process at the January 28, 2019 meeting that incorporated comments and suggestions from the council. Staff then advertised and solicited applications for workgroup members and received 25 applications, consisting of renters, rental property owners, neighbors, community members and advocates. The council decided to recommend 13 members for appointment to the workgroup. Councilmember Mavity asked that the workgroup and staff not treat this subject as business as usual, and proposed asking a consultant to assist the workgroup in developing a better engagement process on this. Mayor Spano asked that before going to an outside consultant, what Ms. Sojourner’s role would be in this process first, with issues around race to explore. Councilmember Rog added council will also need to see data first, to know the scope and scale of this process, noting the workgroup might find out this is a different problem than what was first discovered. Ms. Schnitker stated the work group will have access to all information, and staff will do additional work on community engagement and developing a better process. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 3a) Page 6 Title: Study session minutes of March 25, 2019 Ms. Deno added that Ms. Sojourner and her staff will be engaged in this process as well. 5. 2019 market value overview Mr. Bultema presented the overview related to assessed market valuation and classification for each property in the city. This review gives council additional information on how the community’s real estate is reacting to the significant evolution of the housing stock, market performance trends for commercial-industrial space, thoughts on current market cycle, and the foundation looking forward. Mr. Bultema outlined the appeal process and board duties that will take place at the St. Louis Park Local Board of Appeal and Equalization meeting on Monday, April 8, with a follow-up meeting on April 22. Mr. Bultema added the city started mailing 17,000+ valuation notices on March 6, which includes 2018 and 2019 information for classification, market value, improvement value, exclusions, referendum value and taxable value, and the appeal process. He stated total valuation for the city was at $7.73 billion as of January 2, 2019, adding that the median single- family home price in St. Louis Park is $298,000. Mr. Bultema invited the council to contact him if they have questions. Communications/meeting check-in (verbal) Ms. Deno noted potholes in the city are being repaired, and if anyone sees a pothole for repair, to please contact the city offices, or notify the city on the My St. Louis Park app. Councilmember Rog asked about the Historic Walker District loan program and if money was received from Hennepin County for the façade. Ms. Deno stated she will check on this and report back. Mayor Spano noted during last week’s discussion with the council on media, the group was not able to come to consensus on this issue. He noted the topic should be removed from the list. Councilmember Rog pointed out that respect is the norm when talking to media, and each council member speaks from their own experience. Ms. Deno stated it would be helpful to revisit this and the building relationships portion at the council’s workshop next January 2020. Councilmember Miller asked about council support on issues the majority want to move forward on. Mayor Spano stated the general rule has been a council member can be 100% against a project until it passes in the council, then they must be 100% in favor of it, so it will be a successful project for the city. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 3a) Page 7 Title: Study session minutes of March 25, 2019 Councilmember Mavity stated we are the city council, and while we are individuals, we do represent the city as a whole and the policies of the city. Councilmember Rog, however, noted the councilmembers represent the residents of the community also. Councilmember Mavity agreed, but added that is up until the vote. Then when it becomes city policy, the councilmembers represent that city policy, stating this is the shift place. Councilmember Rog stated policies influence the future. Councilmember Hallfin added that policies can be changed in the future, also they can be revisited and changed at a later date.

Witt Construction Inc. as the lowest responsible bidder and authorize execution of a contract in the amount of $209,906 for the pickleball courts in Wolfe Park. Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to proceed with this projects by authorizing staff to enter into a contract with K.A. Witt Construction Inc.? Summary: A total of seven bids were received for the Wolfe Park pickleball court project; summary is as follows: Contractor Bid amount K.A. Witt Construction Inc. $209,906.00 GL Contracting, Inc. $231,337.55 Peterson Companies $237,217.28 G Urban Companies $244,582.00 ODESA II $255,740.50 Meyer Contracting, Inc. $297,503.46 Barber Construction, Inc. $313,777.80 A review of the bids indicates K.A. Witt Construction Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid for the addition of pickleball courts in Wolfe Park. References have been checked and K.A. Witt Construction Inc. has completed this type of project successfully in other cities. Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2019 for $175,000. The low bid was $209,906. Additional expenses for consultants and soil disposal put the project costs at $238,406. The increase in bids is due to two main factors: asphalt and steel costs. Similar to what the city has experienced with higher bids on street projects, the price of asphalt has risen dramatically due to all the construction projects in the area. Steel is needed for the fencing around the courts. Steel costs are also coming in higher for other cities. Staff recommends proceeding with this very project. We do not think rebidding this would result in lower prices. We have rearranged some CIP projects and have saved money on other projects so that we have money to cover the increased cost for this project in the Park Improvement Fund. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to proceed with the project by authorizing staff to enter into a contract with Northwest Asphalt, Inc.? Summary: A total of six bids were received for the reconstruction of three tennis courts at Carpenter Park. A summary is as follows: Contractor Bid amount Northwest Asphalt, Inc. $135,917.00 Peterson Companies $154,082.64 ODESA II $154,423.00 Barber Construction, Inc. $173,335.00 Urban Companies $183,778.00 Mayer Contracting, Inc. $192,161.18 A review of the bids indicates Northwest Asphalt Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid for the renovation of Carpenter Park tennis courts. References have been checked and Northwest Asphalt Inc. has completed this type of project successfully in other cities. Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2019 in the amount of $145,000. Although the low bid of $135,917 is $9,083 below the budgeted amount, the city will incur soil removal and over sight costs due to the condition of the soil. We have estimated these consultant costs to be $20,000. With the addition of consultant and soil removal costs, the project anticipated to come in at $10,917 over budget. The higher prices are attributed to the increase cost of asphalt (needed for the court base) and steel (needed for fencing). Many cities are seeing costs increasing this construction season due to the abundance of construction going on throughout the state. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement. Supporting documents: None Prepared by: Rick Beane, Parks Superintendent Reviewed by: Cynthia S. Walsh, Director of Operations and Recreation Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Meeting: City council Meeting date: April 15, 2019 Consent agenda item: 4d Executive summary Title: Approval of inclusionary housing policy as amended Recommended action: Motion to approve amending the inclusionary housing policy to expand the eligibility criteria to developments seeking Planned Unit Development (PUD) land use approvals or developments requesting comp plan amendments, and include a one-for-one naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) unit replacement requirement. Policy consideration: Does the council approve amending the inclusionary housing policy to expand the eligibility criteria and include a one-for-one NOAH unit replacement requirement? Summary: The inclusionary housing policy was initially approved in June, 2015 and amended in May 2017 and August of 2018. The current policy requires new market-rate multi-family residential rental properties with ten or more units that are receiving financial assistance from the city, to include affordable units in the development per the policy. At the March 25, 2019 study session, staff presented the following two amendments to the policy in an effort to expand the eligibility of developments obligated to comply with the inclusionary housing policy requirements and ensure that any NOAH units lost due to multi-family residential development are replaced: •expand the eligibility criteria to include developments seeking PUD land use approvals or developments requesting a comprehensive plan amendment, even if they are not receiving financial assistance from the city; and •developments that are required to comply with the inclusionary housing policy must include: 1) a minimum number of affordable units in the development equal to the requirements established in the inclusionary policy; or 2) the number of units required to replace existing NOAH dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than lower- income dwelling units in connection with construction of the development, whichever is greater. At the March 25 study session, council directed staff to revise the inclusionary policy to include the proposed amendments and present the amended policy to council for approval. The amended policy will be effective immediately upon council approval. Financial or budget considerations: City staff time to implement, manage and monitor compliance of the inclusionary housing policy as the number of developments subject to the policy continues to increase. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development. Supporting documents: Amended inclusionary housing policy Prepared by: Michele Schnitker, Housing Supervisor/Deputy CD Director Reviewed by: Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Nancy Deno, Deputy City Manager/HR Director Inclusionary Housing Policy This policy promotes high quality housing located in the community for households with a variety of income levels, ages and sizes in order to meet the city's goal of preserving and promoting economically diverse housing options in our community. The city recognizes the need to provide affordable housing to households of a broad range of income levels in order to maintain a diverse population and to provide housing for those who live or work in the city. Without intervention, the trend toward rising housing prices in new developments will continue to increase. As a result, this policy is being adopted to ensure that a reasonable proportion of each new development receiving city financial assistance include units affordable to low and moderate income households and working families or in the case of for- sale units, make a payment in lieu of including affordable units. The requirements set forth in this policy furthers the city’s housing goals and the city’s Comprehensive Plan to create and preserve affordable housing opportunities. These requirements are intended to provide a structure for participation by both the public and private sectors in the production of affordable housing. I. Applicability and minimum project size Market rate multi-unit development receiving city financial assistance This policy applies to market rate multi-unit residential developments that receive financial assistance from the city, seek PUD land use approvals or request a comprehensive plan amendment, and includes: a) new developments that create at least 10 multi-family dwelling units; or b) any mixed use building that creates at least 10 multi-family dwelling units; or c) renovation or reconstruction of an existing building that contains multi-family dwelling units that includes at least 10 dwelling units; or d) any change in use of all or part of an existing building from a non- residential use to a residential use that includes at least 10 dwelling units.

City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4d) Title: Approval of inclusionary housing policy as amended Page 9 Meeting: City council Meeting date: April 15, 2019 Consent agenda item: 4e Executive summary Title: Second reading of right-of-way ordinance Recommended action: Motion to approve second reading of the right-of-way Ordinance and approve the Ordinance Summary for publication. Policy consideration: Does city council wish to establish regulations for small wireless facilities located within the public right of way? Summary: Our current right-of-way ordinance, Section 24-251 was updated in September of 2017 in response to the Minnesota Telecommunications Right-of-Way User law of 2017. In September of 2018, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a preemptive order restricting a municipality’s ability to apply standard land use controls on small wireless facilities. With this order, the FCC did allow municipalities to post aesthetic requirements to small cell installations setting an April 15, 2019 deadline for municipalities to post these requirements. The attached ordinance includes regulations for small wireless facilities intended to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of the city and create design and location requirements for the facilities. The update includes standards for communication towers and antennas that are located in public right-of-way and establishes safety and design criteria that are consistent with the current technology and current State and Federal regulations. This ordinance update is in conjunction with Community Development department’s action of amending Sections 36-142 and 36-367 of the zoning ordinance pertaining to small wireless facilities on private property which were approved on March 18, 2019. Financial or budget considerations: No considerations Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

St. Louis Park City Code Chapter 24, Article VII, Division II is repealed in its entirety and replaced by adding the following: Sec. 24.251 Findings, purpose, and intent. To provide for the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, and to ensure the integrity of its streets and the appropriate use of the rights-of-way, the city strives to keep its rights-of-way in a state of good repair and free from unnecessary encumbrances. Accordingly, the city hereby enacts this chapter of this Code relating to rights-of-way permits and administration. This chapter imposes reasonable regulation on the placement and maintenance of facilities and equipment currently within its rights-of-way or to be placed therein at some future time. It is intended to complement the regulatory roles of state and federal agencies. Under this chapter, persons excavating and obstructing the rights-of-way will bear financial responsibility for their work. This chapter provides for recovery of out-of-pocket and projected costs from persons using the public rights-of-way. This chapter shall be interpreted consistently with 1997 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 123; and 2017 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 94, substantially codified in Minnesota Statutes 237.16, 237.162, 237.163, 237.79, 237.81, and 238.086 (the “Act”) and the other laws governing applicable rights of the city and users of the right-of-way. This chapter shall also be interpreted consistent with Minnesota Rules 7819.0050—7819.9950 and Minnesota Rule Chapter 7560 where possible. To the extent any provisions of this chapter cannot be interpreted consistently with the Minnesota Rules, that interpretation most consistent with the Act and other applicable statutory and case law is intended. This chapter shall not be interpreted to limit the regulatory and police powers of the city to adopt and enforce general ordinances necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The City desires high quality wireless services to accommodate the needs of residents and businesses. At the same time, the City strives to minimize the negative impacts that small wireless facilities can create. These negative impacts include, but are not limited to, interference with right-of-way user sight lines, impacts to right-of-way user circulation, incompatible aesthetics with the surrounding area, fall zone risk, clear zone risk, creating navigation obstacles, interference with future travel way expansion plans, interference with the City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4e) Page 3 Title: Second reading of right-of-way ordinance delivery of other utility services, interference with storm water management facilities, and increased noise pollution. To minimize these negative impacts, any person desiring to place a new wireless support structure in the right-of-way or collocate small wireless facilities on existing privately- owned wireless support structures in the right-of-way shall first obtain a small wireless facility permit from the City. Any person desiring to collocate small wireless facilities on existing wireless support structures owned or controlled by the City shall first enter into a standard small wireless facility collocation agreement. The purpose of these requirements is to comply with Minnesota Statutes Sections 237.162 and 237.163 while at the same time protecting the public health, safety, and welfare. The City will consider impacts to the public health, safety and welfare when reviewing a small wireless permit application and a request to enter into a small wireless facility collocation agreement. The public health, safety and welfare can be best accommodated by locating small wireless facilities in the following order, which affords the greatest protection of the public: (1) Locate outside of the right-of-way. (2) Locate in the right-of-way on or adjacent to Principal Arterial, Other Arterial, Major Collector, or Minor Collector roads, as classified by the Metropolitan Council Functional Classification System. (3) Collocate on existing wireless support structures within the right-of-way. (4) Locate on a new wireless support structure within the right-of-way that replaces an existing wireless support structure of the same height. (5) Locate on a new wireless support structure within the right-of-way that replaces an existing wireless support structure whose height is less than or equal to 50 feet. (6) Locate on a new wireless support structure within the right-of-way whose height is similar to nearby structures. (7) Locate on a new wireless support structure within the right-of-way whose height is less than or equal to 50 feet. The City will also consider factors such as aesthetic compatibility of the small wireless facility with surrounding structures, ability to eliminate, underground, or screen ground- mounted equipment, dangers within the small wireless facility fall zone, distance of the small wireless facility from roads, sidewalks, trails and bicycle lanes, and future roadway, pedestrian, bicycle, water, wastewater, and storm water improvement plans for the site before issuing small wireless facility permit or entering into a standard small wireless facility collocation agreement.

Failure to provide prompt and accurate information on the service laterals installed may result in the revocation of the permit issued for the work or future permits to the offending permittee or its subcontractors. Sec. 24.277. Location and relocation of facilities. (1) Rule. When directed by the city, a right-of-way user shall promptly and at his, her, or its own expense, with due regard for seasonal working conditions, permanently remove and relocate its facilities in the right-of-way when it is necessary to prevent interference, and not merely for the convenience of the city, in connection with: (1) a present or future City use of the right-of-way for a public project; (2) the public health or safety; or (3) the safety and convenience of travel over the right-of-way. The registrant shall restore any rights-of-way to the condition it was in prior to removal and relocation. Placement, location, and relocation of facilities must comply with the Act, with other applicable law, and with Minnesota Rules 7819.3100, 7819.5000, and 7819.5100, to the extent the rules do not limit authority otherwise available to cities.

When technically appropriate and no safety hazards are created facilities shall be installed, constructed, City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4e) Page 31 Title: Second reading of right-of-way ordinance or placed within the same trench. Notwithstanding the foregoing, gas and electric lines shall be placed in conformance with Minnesota Rules part 7819.5100 subpart 2, governing safety standards. (5) Corridors. The city may assign a specific area within the right-of-way, or any particular segment thereof as may be necessary, for each type of facilities that are or, pursuant to current technology, the city expects will someday be located within the right-of-way. All excavation, obstruction, or other permits issued by the city involving the installation or replacement of facilities shall designate the proper corridor for the facilities at issue. A typical crossing section of the location for utilities may be on file at the director’s office. This section is not intended to establish “high density corridors.” Any registrant who has facilities in the right-of-way in a position at variance with the corridors established by the city may remain at that location until the city requires facilities relocation to the corridor pursuant to relocation authority granted under Minnesota Rules part 7819.3100 or other applicable law. (6) Nuisance. One year after the passage of this chapter, any facilities found in a right-of- way that have not been registered shall be deemed to be a nuisance. The city may exercise any remedies or rights it has at law or equity, including, but not limited to, abating the nuisance or taking possession of the facilities and restoring the right-of-way to a useable condition. (7) Limitation of space. To protect the health, safety, and welfare, or when necessary to protect the right-of-way and its current use, the city shall have the power to prohibit or limit the placement of new or additional facilities within the right-of-way. In making such decisions, the city shall strive to the extent possible to accommodate all existing and potential users of the right-of-way, but shall be guided primarily by considerations of the public interest, the public’s needs for the particular utility service, the condition of the right-of-way, the time of year with respect to essential utilities, the protection of existing facilities in the right-of-way, and future city plans for public improvements and development projects which have been determined to be in the public interest. Sec. 24.278. Pre-excavation facilities location. In additions to complying with the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 216D.01-.09 (“One Call Excavation Notice System”) before the start date of any right-of-way excavation, each registrant who has facilities or equipment in the area to be excavated shall mark the horizontal and vertical placement of all said facilities. Any registrant whose facilities are less than twenty (20) inches below a concrete or asphalt surface shall notify and work closely with the excavation contractor to establish the exact location of its facilities and the best procedure for excavation. Sec. 24.279. Damage to other facilities. When the city does work in the right-of-way and finds it necessary to maintain, support, or move a registrant's facilities to protect it, the city shall notify the local representative as early as is reasonably possible. The costs associated therewith will be billed to that registrant and City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4e) Page 32 Title: Second reading of right-of-way ordinance must be paid within thirty (30) days from the date of billing. Each registrant shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any facilities in the right-of-way which it or its facilities damage. Each registrant shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the facilities of another registrant caused during the city's response to an emergency occasioned by that registrant's facilities. Sec. 24.280. Right-of-way vacation.

Indemnification and liability By registering with the city, or by accepting a permit under this chapter, a registrant or permittee agrees to defend and indemnify the city in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Rule 7819.1250. Sec. 24.282. Abandoned and unusable facilities. (1) Discontinued operations. A right-of-way user/registrant who has determined to discontinue all or a portion of its operations in the city must provide information satisfactory to the city that the registrant obligations for its facilities in the right of way under this chapter, including removal and disposal of Hazardous Materials, have been lawfully assumed by another registrant. (2) Removal. Any registrant who has abandoned facilities in any right-of-way shall remove it from that right-of-way if required in conjunction with other right-of-way repair, excavation, or construction, unless this requirement is waived by the city. (3) Non-Completion or Abandonment of Work. Work shall progress expeditiously to completion in accordance with any time limitation specified in the right-of-way permit or small wireless facility permit so as to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to the public. In the event that the permit holder fails to timely complete the work in accordance with the terms of the right- of-way permit or small wireless facility permit or ceases or abandons the work without due cause, the City may, after six (6) hours' notice in writing to the permit holder of its intention to do so, correct the work, fill any excavation, and repair the public right-of-way in a manner that it deems necessary to protect the safety and welfare of the public. The City shall make or contract for all temporary and permanent repairs, including but not limited to backfilling, compacting, and resurfacing, and the permit holder shall reimburse the City for all costs incurred for such work.

Policy consideration: Does Council wish to approve the allocation of neighborhood grants for 2019? Summary: Each year grant funding is made available to neighborhood associations to promote strong neighborhoods and enhance community connections by bringing neighbors together. Grant applications from 23 neighborhoods were received in this year’s grant cycle. On Monday, March 25th, Darius Gray facilitated the grant review process with Grant Review Committee Members Alicia Sojourn, and Darla Monson, both of whom are City Staff. The Grant Review Committee met to review the grant applications and make funding recommendations to the City Council. Attached are the grant guidelines that include a rubric for scoring which the Grant Review Committee used when evaluating and scoring the submissions. Financial or budget considerations: The grant review committee recommends approval of $46,915 to fund the following 23 neighborhood grants: $1100 Aquila $2950 Birchwood $2330 Blackstone $2500 Bronx Park $1020 Brooklawns $2500 Brookside $2950 Browndale $2950 Cedar Manor $1750 Cobblecrest $2035 Creekside $1025 Crestview $1400 Eliot View $2950 Elmwood $935 Kilmer Pond $1390 Lake Forest $2300 Minikahda Oaks $1725 Minikahda Vista $2450 Minnehaha $2450 Sorensen $1275 South Oak Hill $2450 Texa-Tonka $2030 Westwood Hills $2450 Wolfe Park The above amounts include special funding requests totaling $5,225 for twenty neighborhoods. Special funding is for projects that work towards racial equity and environmentalism. The Grant Review Committee also recommends the approval of $5,900 to fund insurance purchases for fourteen neighborhoods. Strategic priority consideration: •St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in racial equity and inclusion in order to create a more just and inclusive community for all. •St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in environmental stewardship. •St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement. Supporting documents: Discussion 2019 Neighborhood grant guidelines and grant worksheet Summary of grant changes Prepared by: Darius Gray, Community Organizer Reviewed by: Nancy Deno, Deputy City Mgr/HR Dir, Alicia Sojourner, RE Manager Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4f) Page 2 Title: 2019 Neighborhood Revitalization Grant Program Discussion Background: Each year grant funding is made available to neighborhood associations to promote strong neighborhoods and enhance community connections by bringing neighbors together. The City Council appropriated $52,000 in grant funds for the 2019 neighborhood grant program. This year a number of changes were made to the grant program to ensure grants were inclusive and aligned with city priorities of all communities. These changes will be outlined in an attached document. Neighborhood Associations are responsible for providing insurance when planning neighborhood events in parks that bring outside equipment into the park such as, but not limited to, moonwalks, petting zoos, etc. Neighborhood associations can apply for a maximum of $500 in addition to the standard grant to assist with purchasing insurance. Grant applications from 23 neighborhoods were received by March 24, 2019. The total grant request for 2019 was $47,165, however the review committee is recommending the allocation of $46,915 to the requesting neighborhoods. Fourteen of these neighborhoods also applied for additional insurance reimbursements. Twenty neighborhoods applied for special funding. The total amount applied for under environmental component came in at $2,975 with twenty neighborhoods seeking that funding. Of those, nine neighborhoods applied for the racial equity funding totaling $2,280. In the past year, a few neighborhoods have become more active and are planning more events and activities for their neighborhood. There are some neighborhoods that have been stagnant or declined in activity and did not apply for much additional funding than in previous years. Outside of those exceptions, most neighborhoods have been active and utilize all or a majority of the grant money provided. The grant applications came in $5,085 under budget. Although there was additional funding available, the Grant Review Committee did not fund projects or activities that did not fall within the grant guidelines. Of the $47,165 requested by neighborhoods for grant funding, $250 is proposed for being rejected for funding, thus $46,915 is being requested for approval plus $5,900 for insurance. The reviews committee’s current funding allocation recommendation when including the amount for insurance exceeds the $52,000 budget by $815. The justification for exceeding the budget is to enable us to approve as much money to neighborhood associations as possible. The request is recommended for approval with the knowledge that the total funding allocation will not be fully utilized for each grant cycle. Over the past five years there has been an average of $6,400 left in the grant budget. Therefore, we will utilize funding from the 2018/2019 grant cycle to make up the difference if needed. However, we ultimately anticipate unspent funding, thus the grant term will be completed well under budget. Once approved, there will be $5,085 remaining in the grant fund. This remaining funding is intended to be used for the Neighborhood Start Up Grant program. Next steps: Neighborhoods will be notified of grant awards in late April, shortly after the grants have been approved by city council. Following award notice, each neighborhood must sign contracts and submit them back to Darius before their grant term may begin. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4f) Page 3 Title: 2019 Neighborhood Revitalization Grant Program NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PROGRAM 2019 GRANT GUIDELINES Purpose In 1996, the City of St. Louis Park established this grant program to support neighborhoods and enhance community connections by bringing neighbors together. Financial support is provided for special projects initiated by neighbors to address issues, implement ideas or create opportunities that are meaningful and important to their neighborhoods. This purpose still applies today and supports the city’s Strategic Priority: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement. In 2019, the city expects to award up to $40,000 in grants. Grant Term The grant term will be May 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. Reimbursement can be issued for cost incurred within the grant term. All work must be completed within this timeframe. The last invoice for the 2019 grant must be submitted on January 15, 2020. Who We Fund Eligible applicants include organized St. Louis Park Neighborhood Associations recognized as a neighborhood association. To be recognized as a neighborhood association, you must demonstrate the following: Have at least three elected officers from the neighborhood, have a method of transferring leadership from one year to the next, written bylaws approved by its membership, which must be reviewed annually, and hold an annual neighborhood meeting. Projects should be the idea of, and championed by, residents of the neighborhood area with input from residents. What We Fund Creative community projects that focus on the following criteria will be considered for funding: •Enhances the aesthetics of the neighborhood. •Provides a clear community benefit. •Accessible to all members of the community. •Addresses a known neighborhood deficiency. •Strengthens existing community assets •Increases sense of community. •Activates community improvements or spaces. •Focuses on community involvement. •Helps inform neighborhood or city projects. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4f) Page 4 Title: 2019 Neighborhood Revitalization Grant Program Special funding: Special grant funding is strictly for the use of environment, racial equity and inclusion, and insurance. Funds cannot be used for any other reimbursement. Environmental: Neighborhood Associations may apply for additional grant funding up to $200 that incorporate an environmental component either in conjunction with an existing event or adding a new program/event. This new grant element ties to the Strategic Priorities: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in environmental stewardship. Racial equity and inclusion: Neighborhood Associations may apply for additional grant funding up to $250 that incorporate a racial equity and inclusion component either in conjunction with an existing event or adding a new program/event. This new grant element is tied to the Strategic Priorities: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in racial equity and inclusion in order to create a more just and inclusive community for all. Insurance: Neighborhood Associations may apply for additional grant funding up to $500 to assist with purchasing additional insurance. Note: When planning neighborhood events in parks, you may be required to make provisions to use your own insurance. Neighborhood associations are responsible for providing outside insurance when planning neighborhood events in parks that bring outside equipment into the park such as, but not limited to, moonwalks, petting zoos, etc. Without clear delineation of who is responsible in case of accidents, neighborhood leaders may be held liable. Matching grant funds: To qualify for a grant, a neighborhood must demonstrate how it will contribute to or leverage the Neighborhood Revitalization grant funds. A match of neighborhood resources maximizes the use of limited City funds and confirms the commitment from each neighborhood. Neighborhoods should provide at least a 50% (dollar for dollar) match to the grant amount. However, applicants that demonstrate a 100% match will score better. Any combination of sources is acceptable in calculating the neighborhood match. These can be in the form of: •cash raised through fundraising •fees collected at activities •donations from businesses, civic groups, etc. • in-kind services or sweat equity What are the grant program terms and contract requirements? •The city retains sole discretion in determining whether or not applications are eligible. •Necessary permits or other approvals must be obtained by the applicant prior to starting projects. Examples of projects that need permits include but are not limited to, permanent improvements within the public right-of-way or on private property or activities requiring a street closure. •Projects must be accessible and inclusive. •Award maximum is $2,950 per year. o Grant request maximum amount $2,000 Group activities, social events and meetings are considered for funding up to a maximum of $700 per activity. o Environmental request maximum amount $200 o Racial equity and inclusion maximum amount $250 o Insurance maximum amount $500 City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4f) Page 5 Title: 2019 Neighborhood Revitalization Grant Program • Only one Neighborhood Revitalization Grant per neighborhood associations per year. • Projects may require a design review as a condition of the grant award. • Projects must be completed within the grant’s calendar year. • Grants do not carry over from year to year.

What types of expenses are covered by grant funds? The city urge neighborhood leaders to think creatively when brainstorming about projects and types of community involvement. Neighborhood leaders are encouraged to be creative in assessing their needs and determining the projects they want to undertake as a neighborhood. Neighborhood leaders are required to include neighborhood resident input for proposed projects. How you choose to receive this input must be included in the grant application. Projects that demonstrate greater community input and inclusion will be consider with more favor. The following types of projects will be favorably considered: • Neighborhood identity (e.g., brochures, signs, festivals, and education of neighborhood history) • Neighborhood leadership training and development • Start-up funds for specific neighborhood projects (e.g., newsletters, emailing services) • Publicity of special events (e.g., community cleanups) • Beautification (we will only consider Minnesota-Friendly/bee-friendly planting) • Social events that bring neighbors together (block party, youth event, art, holiday party) • Deeping reach and connections with historically underrepresented community members • Purchasing environmentally friendly products for a neighborhood events Note: Physical improvements to any public property must be coordinated with the appropriate City department. It should not conflict with or duplicate a project in the City’s Capital Improvements Program. A letter of feasibility must be included with a grant application that requests funding for park improvements. This letter should confirm that the appropriate City department has reviewed the proposed improvements, that the proposal is feasible, and that the project budget is a reasonable estimate of project costs.

Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to establish regulations for mobility sharing operations within the city? Summary: Since the first reading was approved on April 1, at the advice of the city attorney staff added language limiting the number of mobility sharing licenses available in the city to the proposed ordinance regulating mobility sharing services. The language caps the number of licenses available to mobility sharing providers to three (3). The city attorney also advised staff to edit language in the ordinance to add the word “contract” when referencing licenses and agreements to better reflect how other cities have constructed their ordinances. So this would now read “contract or license” or “contract or agreement”. The overall ordinance prohibits mobility sharing vendors from operating in the city without a license or contract, establishes the city’s ability to impound devices, and establishes fees relating to impoundment and licensing. The number of licenses available to mobility sharing can be increased or decreased in the future. The change would require a change to the ordinance. The date of the ordinance summary publication is planned to be April 25, 2019 and the ordinance will be in effect on May 10, 2019 Financial or budget considerations: The ordinance adds fees related to impoundment and licensing to the fee schedule in city code. These funds will be used to offset city cost for oversight and regulation of the pilot, and to support the development of infrastructure relating to the pilot. 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 Updated proposed ordinance Mobility sharing pilot recommendations study session report (March 25, 2019) (begins page 71) First reading of ordinance regulating mobility sharing operations (April 1, 2019) (begins page 136) Prepared by: Ben Manibog, Transportation Engineer Reviewed by: Debra Heiser, Engineering Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4h) Page 2 Title: Second reading of ordinance regulating mobility sharing operations Discussion Background: At the March 25, 2019, study session, staff provided the city council with information regarding staff’s recommendations on beginning a mobility sharing pilot in St. Louis Park. The report described the approval process for a mobility sharing ordinance which is provided in this report. Present considerations: There are edits made to the draft ordinance regulating mobility sharing operations broken down into three categories. Number of licenses available At the advice of the city attorney, staff added language limiting the number of mobility sharing licenses available in the city to the proposed ordinance regulating mobility sharing services. The language caps the number of permits available to mobility sharing providers to three (3). The added language reads as follows: Sec. 30-251. License required. ** (c) A maximum of three (3) mobility sharing contracts or licenses shall be allowed within the city. ** License and agreement language The city attorney also advised staff to edit language in the ordinance to add the word “contract” when referencing licenses and agreements to better reflect how other cities have constructed their ordinances. So this would now read “contract or license” or “contract or agreement”. An example of this reads as follows: ** Sec. 30-252. Control of right of way Contracts or licenses issued pursuant to this chapter shall not operate so as to transfer ownership or control of the public right of way to mobility sharing operators, or to any other party. ** Calendar dates In the original draft of the ordinance, under Section 3, there is an “(insert text)” that was not filled in referring to when the proposed ordinance is to take effect. It is shown in the table in Section 3 that the intended date the ordinance was to take effect was May 10, 2019. In addition, the date of publication was listed as April 18, 2019. The intended date of publication is April 25, 2019, the 18th is the date when the summary is sent to the Sun Sailor. The new date represents the typical ten (10) calendar day duration between the second reading and the ordinance’s publication. In the ordinance, the edits are as follows with deletions struck through and additions underlined: ** City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4h) Page 3 Title: Second reading of ordinance regulating mobility sharing operations Section 3.

Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to pursue the replacement and upgrade of the SCADA system to ensure that it will continue to serve the current and future needs of the city’s citizens? Summary: Reliable water systems within a community, whether it's drinking water, wastewater, or stormwater, are critical to meeting the basic needs of its citizens. Operating and maintaining each of these complex utility systems relies heavily upon the effective performance of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. St. Louis Park has identified the need to upgrade their SCADA system. Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s 2019 capital improvement plan (CIP) and will be paid for using the water utility, sanitary sewer and storm sewer funds. The total cost estimate for the project is $2,455,250.00. Additional information on the breakdown of the funding can be found later in this report. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable. Supporting documents: Discussion Resolution Prepared by: Aaron Wiesen, Project Engineer Reviewed by: Mark Hanson, Public Works Superintendent Debra Heiser, Engineering Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4i) Page 2 Title: 2019 SCADA System Replacement Project No. 5318-5006 Discussion Background: Upgrading the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system creates resiliency, allows the latest technologies to be integrated, and enables the system to be expandable for future applications. The best way for the City to accomplish this is was to start by selecting a consultant with the deepest knowledge of current SCADA technologies, system design, integration, and long-term operation. AE2S was selected due to their extensive experience with SCADA systems through designing, programming, and supporting systems similar to St. Louis Park's. •The fully customized SCADA System will be tailored to both current and future needs. It is not often that a city has the ability to replace their entire SCADA system. St. Louis Park has a unique opportunity for implementing a new generation SCADA system by replacing existing components, customizing their control sequences, implementing current, proven SCADA technologies, and tailoring their overall SCADA experience to their growing needs. •The current technologies ensure efficient, compatible, and reliable operation. The use of technology in a SCADA system allows the operators to manage their system efficiently and make confident decisions. Using new technologies provides operational improvements for resiliency, redundancy, restoration, alarming, data collection, and reporting. •The system has long-term reliability through responsible design and rigorous testing. In order to create a high level of confidence in the SCADA system, it must be designed to operate the utility systems correctly, using readily available components. Working with the City, AE2S will coordinate with staff to teach the operations of your system, ensuring that SCADA will be controlling everything correctly. Consideration will be taken as to how SCADA functions in the event of a hardware failure, and what steps must be taken to return to normal operation. AE2S expects and requires extensive system testing to verify that all functions of the SCADA system work correctly. In the event that the SCADA system needs future service, AE2S has local SCADA programmers and electrical engineers who will respond quickly. In general, the SCADA System Replacement project work consists of the removal of existing programmable logic controllers (PLCs), operator interface terminals (OITs), radios, and the supply and installation of new PLCs, OITs, Ethernet switches, and other appurtenances for existing control panels located at three (3) well houses, seven (7) water treatment plants, one (1)elevated water tank, four (4) storm water lift stations, and sixteen (16) sanitary lift stations. Complete control panel replacement for one (1) existing storm water lift station and seven (7) existing sanitary lift stations will be performed. This project will utilize a combination of cellular and fiber communications to replace the radio communication system. This also includes providing new supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) servers and software, and implementing several system monitoring redundancies.

The scope of the Cedar Lake Road improvement project includes the following: •New pavement from Kentucky Avenue to Quentin Avenue. •Construction of a one way cycle track and a new sidewalk on the south side of Cedar Lake Road. •Bike lane installation on the north side of Cedar Lake Road. •Roundabout construction at the intersection with Zarthan Avenue. •Signal rehabilitation at Park Place Boulevard. •Replacement of all light poles within the project and upgrade to LED fixtures. •Bump outs at intersections for traffic calming and for shorter pedestrian crossings. •Rapid flashing beacons for safer crossings at Hampshire and Dakota Avenue. •Watermain replacement between Kentucky Avenue and Zarthan Avenue. •Miscellaneous utility rehabilitation. Contract amendment: Bolton and Menk, Inc. has completed the design of Cedar Lake Road. Staff is requesting additional services for the construction of these improvements. The amendment cost shown below includes construction administration and surveying by Bolton and Menk. In addition, this amendment also covers material testing services that are subcontracted Braun Intertec. Please see summary below. Amount Preliminary design contract – approved $248,126 Final design (Amendment #1) – approved $824,276 Amendment # 2 construction services $727,824 Total professional services $1,800,226 The estimated construction cost of this project is $9,134,439. The contract for professional services with this amendment will be 19.7% of the estimated construction cost. Industry standard for engineering cost on construction projects can range from 20% to 35% depending on the complexity of the project. Staff has a high expectation for resident and business support and responsiveness from the consultant. Cedar Lake Road is a Municipal State Aid street and there are many facets of the project which will require coordination with MnDOT, Xcel Energy, and CenterPoint Energy. As a result, we believe that the contract cost is consistent with the scope and demands of this project. Schedule: Construction will begin in early May with completion in November 2019. Tree replacement along the corridor will occur in the spring of 2020. ?úA@ %&e( 14th Street West 26th Street Wes t Pa r k woodsRoadCedarLakeR oadLouisianaAvenueSouthPark Place BoulevardP a r k d a le D r iv e Franklin AvenueWest Ga m b le Drive 25th Street Wes t Wayzata B oulevard Douglas Avenue WebsterAvenueSouthF orest RoadZarthanAvenue SouthHampshireAvenueSouth28th Street West ParklandsRoadGeorgiaAvenueSouthCeda r wood R o adKentucky Avenue South27th Street West Kentucky L a n e18th Street West 25 1/2 Street West 22nd Street West 24th Street W e st IdahoAvenueSouthFloridaAvenueSouthUticaAvenueSouthDakotaAvenueSouthEliot View RoadAvondaleRoad Fairlawn WayMontereyAvenueSouthQuentinAvenueSouthRaleighAvenueSouthSalemAvenueSouthToledoAvenueSouthMarylandAvenueSouthNevadaAvenueSouthLouisiana C ourtYosemiteAvenueSouthStateHighway100FrontageRoadNatchezAvenueSouthSunset Rid g e 23 rd S tre e tWestBarry Street VernonAvenueSouthXenwoodAvenueSouth16th Street West EdgewoodAvenueSouthAlabama Avenue SouthColoradoAvenueSouthKiplingAvenueSouthJerseyAvenueSouthLynn Avenue SouthRidge DriveMap Document: \\arcserver1\GIS\STLP\C18116699\ESRI\Maps\STLP_8X11L_CedarLakeProject.mxd | Date Saved: 8/24/2018 1:46:46 PMCedar Lake Road Project Area 0 0.25MilesSource: Hennepin County, MnGeo Cedar Lake RoadCity of St. Louis Park Project Area Map August 2018 Legend !I City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 4j) Title: Approve professional services contract amendment – Cedar Lake Rd reconstruction project (4019-1100)Page 3 Meeting: City council Meeting date: April 15, 2019 Consent agenda item: 4k Executive summary Title: Approve contract with US Digital Designs, Inc.

Council is asked to take final action on this project at the May 6 meeting. Policy consideration: Does the city council wish staff to continue to pursue the installation of the bikeway, bridge, and trail segments identified in this report? Summary: Connect the Park is the city's 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to add additional bikeways, sidewalks, and trails throughout the community. The primary goal of Connect the Park is to develop a comprehensive, city-wide network of bikeways, sidewalks, and trails that provides local and regional connectivity, improves safety and accessibility, and enhances overall community livability. This is achieved by creating a system that provides sidewalks approximately every 1/4 -mile and bikeways every 1/2 -mile in order to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity throughout the community. This project is included in the Connect the Park plan. The engineering department has been working on the preliminary design and associated public process. The segments included in the 2019 project are: •Dakota Avenue bikeway between Dakota Park and Lake Street. •Edgewood Avenue multi-use trail between BNSF railroad right of way and Cedar Lake Road. •Pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the BNSF Railroad connecting Edgewood Avenue and Dakota Park. Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s capital improvement plan (CIP) for 2019. At this time the project is proposed to be financed by using general obligation bonds and $2,918,400 in federal funds. For various reasons the project cost exceeds what had originally been anticipated. Additional information on project costs is discussed later in this report. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

The Dakota Avenue corridor is centrally located and is key to enhancing walking and biking in the city by connecting destinations such as parks, schools, businesses, regional trails, and SWLRT. Information regarding this project was shared with the City Council at the April 8 study session. The study session report, which includes recommendations for the elements to include in this project, is attached. A summary of the information in that study report is as follows: •Design of the Edgewood Avenue multiuse trail between Cedar Lake Road and the BNSF railroad. •Design of the bicycle and pedestrian bridge over BNSF railroad. •Design of Dakota Avenue bikeway from 26th Street to Lake Street. Study Session Discussion: Three areas received the most discussion during the study session were as follows: •Bike facilities on Dakota Avenue: Proposed removal of any on street parking for a short section of Dakota Avenue between east 32nd Street and west 32nd Street. Comments from residents who live in this area are attached to this report. Staff continues to engage the community to understand their concerns and continue to work on ways to address their concerns regarding the recommended parking modifications prior to construction. •Public art: The design of the Dakota Bridge is expected to have public art on the bridge structure. The art components are anticipated to be integrated in to the bridge railing, bridge lighting and as form liners for some of the concrete of the bridge structure. Staff plans to engage an artist to help develop the public art. Staff anticipates holding a listening session with the public to identify themes and sense of place that could be incorporated in to the artwork. The locations and type of public art will need to be identified by mid-July to ensure the bridge elements can be finalized and submitted for review. •Project cost: Council expressed some concern with the costs of the project. The estimates shown below are based on 30 percent preliminary plans and are subject to change as additional design refinement occurs as we progress toward final plans. Staff will continue to work to value engineer the project to ensure a cost efficient project. Estimated Construction Costs: Description Estimated cost Edgewood multiuse trail $600,000 Bridge over BNSF $3,900,000 Dakota bikeway $600,000 Public art $125,000 North bridge stairs $80,000 South bridge stairs $60,000 Relocation of utilities $225,000 Construction Total $5,590,000 City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 6a) Page 3 Title: 2019 Connect the Park - Dakota/Edgewood Bikeway and Bridge (4019-2000) The city was successful at securing $2,918,400 of federal funds from the Transportation Advisory Board of the Metropolitan Council to help fund portions of the project. The cost of the project as it is proposed is $1,887,500 over the costs estimated in the CIP. This is largely due to the need to acquire right of way to construct the bridge and design enhancements to build a more accessible bicycle and pedestrian facility from Cedar Lake Road to Lake Street. The project is proposed to be funded as shown below. CIP Engineer's Estimate Construction cost $5,080,000 $5,590,000 Engineering and administration $1,270,000 $1,647,500 Land acquisition/ right of way $0.00 $1,000,000 Total $6,350,000 $8,237,500 Funding Sources Bridge and bikeways (GO Bonds) $3,431,600 $5,319,100 Federal Aid $2,918,400 $2,918,400 Total $6,350,000 $8,237,500 Proposed schedule: The schedule for the project to facilitate meeting the federal deadlines for this project is as follows: Public hearing April 15, 2019 Approve preliminary layout May 6, 2019 Public art component needs to completed Mid July 2019 Federal Aid preliminary plan submittal (60%) July 2019 City Council - Approve Final Plans November 2019 Federal Aid final plan submittal November 2019 Construction February 2020 – Late 2020 Next steps: Council will be asked to approve the preliminary layout on May 6, 2019. The approval of the preliminary layout in early May is critical in allowing the project documents to be finalized by late 2019. The council will be asked to approve the final plans and authorize staff to advertise for bids in late 2019. At that time staff will provide an updated construction estimate, funding, and CIP details. 1 Ben Manibog Jr From:Personal Sent:Tuesday, April 2, 2019 11:45 AM To:Ben Manibog Jr Subject:Bike Bridge ***External Email – Be Suspicious of Unexpected Attachments, Links and Requests for Login Information***  ************************************************************************************************** **************  Hey! This is  whom lives on Edgewood Ave S. I am so happy to see the connect the park project  take hold. Biking is a huge part of my life and a crucial aspect to Minneapolis living. This makes life so much easier to get  to the West End and Life Time safely. I can’t wait to see it take place and am in full support. Biggest thing I’m worried  about is honestly the light rail and it’s effects on the cedar lake trail. Having easy and minor detours at best are crucial to  the success of connect the park. There are an incredible amount of people that use that trail to get to downtown and  shutting it down for the construction will be devastating for years while undermining the connect the park process for a  long time. Another issue is how rough the roads are on cedar lake road and other main roads. It is incredibly dangerous  to bike on these shoulders due to that. Once you get across the new bridge the sidewalks and shoulders are not great  for transiting with a bike the way they currently are. Also, take a ride on the trail along the railroad on a road bike.... the  cracks are so uncomfortable to ride on. If you ask any constant rider they would agree and know exactly what I’m talking  about. The fix they did to the cracks last year really didn’t help much at all to be honest.   Thank you much for the considerations! I am an avid supporter of the program and investment.  City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 6a) Title: 2019 Connect the Park - Dakota/Edgewood Bikeway and Bridge (4019-2000)Page 4 1 Ben Manibog Jr From:Mary Sent:Friday, March 29, 2019 10:45 AM To:Ben Manibog Jr Subject:Restricted parking on Dakota Ave. ***External Email – Be Suspicious of Unexpected Attachments, Links and Requests for Login Information*** ****************************************************************************************** ********************** City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 6a) Title: 2019 Connect the Park - Dakota/Edgewood Bikeway and Bridge (4019-2000)Page 5 City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 6a) Title: 2019 Connect the Park - Dakota/Edgewood Bikeway and Bridge (4019-2000)Page 6 City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 6a) Title: 2019 Connect the Park - Dakota/Edgewood Bikeway and Bridge (4019-2000)Page 7 1 Ben Manibog Jr From: Sent:Sunday, April 7, 2019 3:20 PM To:Ben Manibog Jr Cc:Tom Harmening; Debra Heiser Subject:Fwd: Invitation: Neighborhood meeting for Dakota Ave ***External Email – Be Suspicious of Unexpected Attachments, Links and Requests for Login Information*** ****************************************************************************************** ********************** Hi Ben, Here are additional comments from . Sincerely, Rachel Harris Begin forwarded message: From: Date: April 7, 2019 at 2:50:29 PM CDT To: Rachel Harris <rachel.annalise@gmail.com>, Subject: Re: Invitation: Neighborhood meeting for Dakota Ave Hi Rachel, Sorry I cannot make the 4PM meeting on Monday. But, I hope you have heard our concerns about the removal of parking on Dakota due to the proposed bike lane addition. We are NOT in favor -- at all -- of removing the parking on Dakota. There are many residents, including multiple renters with only one garage stall, who must use street parking on Dakota. There are very few seasonal bikers using Dakota, and there is plenty of space for them to use the road as they connect to nearby bike paths. It is disconcerting, to say the least, that the parking removal was not communicated to residents via the recent letter we received. Apparently, there have been two prior meetings where we could've voiced concerns over this matter, but NO ONE on Dakota was made aware of this. In fact, very few, if any, residents were aware that their street parking was going to be affected by this bike lane. We had no idea until our neighbor mentioned it to us after she dug deeper into the materials posted on the City's website. These were not made clear, nor were they easy to find. Unfortunately, we will be out of town and will miss the meeting on the 15th. We implore you and the other council members to vote against removing parking on Dakota. With multiple businesses nearby, and many residents who park on Dakota (including several with young children who need safe access to their homes), removing parking is ill-advised. I'm in favor of a bike lane as long as it does not impede street parking on Dakota.

With the short notice for the meeting today, I was unable to reschedule my day and unfortunately cannot attend. My husband is trying to take off work to join the meeting at city hall 4-6pm. Again, we all want a bike trail. No neighbor I spoke with is against it. We are opposed to losing 60-100% of our street parking in the cities current plan - we do not want a lane shift in front of our home and no parking on either side of the street. Many of the areas the city has designated for parking in the current plan, are areas where residents access their home from the street and have driveways- so the parking that is shown on the current plan is deceptive. We will not have enough parking for guests, clients, large deliveries, bagsters, construction, etc. anywhere near our home and that is not acceptable. We cannot use the alley for parking, other than our own two cars. We would like the city engineers to look at other viable options for a trail that leaves most of our parking. (registered Architect) and I have proposed Option 1, it's attached again for your reference. Option 1: leaves the parking, creates larger boulevards at the corners, creates a 6' two way bike lane. Option 2: create bike lanes on the existing boulevards, so that they would be next to the sidewalks. Option 3: move the bike lane adjacent to the train tracks. This is a part-time seasonal bike trail - the needs of residents should come first. It's interesting that there is no loss of parking to the North of Minnetonka Blvd... they also have alleys and heavy traffic due to Peter Hobart.

We have just been made aware by our neighbor that the City of St. Louis Park intends to create a bike lane(s) on Dakota and the parking in front of our house will be removed. This is NOT acceptable to us -- and to the other residents I have spoken to along Dakota. In the letter about the project I received today, there is NO mention of restricting parking access on our side of the street. Today is the first day I have heard of it from our neighbor. There are many people who need access to parking in front of their homes on Dakota, including several renters who have multiple cars -- and only one garage stall -- on their property. We purchased this house knowing we would have street parking. And, of course, we pay property taxes here as well. There is plenty of space for bikers to use Dakota without adding a bike lane, or restricting parking. In fact, I am fine with a bike lane, as long as it doesn't restrict parking for residents. We don't feel that the small percentage of bikers who use Dakota should dictate the parking in front of our residence. Again, restricting parking on Dakota is unacceptable to us. I will also be voicing our concerns to the City Council.

In recent communication with Ben Manibog and Rachel Harris expressing our displeasure with the plan, my wife was informed that we had received 3 letters inviting us to meetings regarding the project. I have looked at each of those letters again, and there is no mention at all of any proposal to remove my—and my neighbors’— ability to park in front of our houses in the letters. (I was able to access the letters at https://www.stlouispark.org/government/departments-divisions/engineering/connect-the-park/2019-projects.) If the removal of our ability to park in front of the houses we’ve purchased in St. Louis Park—and pay taxes to St. Louis Park for—had been explicitly stated, we, and many of our neighbors, most certainly would have attended the meetings to voice our strong opposition to any such plan. When we are told “you received invitations to meetings,” it makes us feel as though we are being blamed for not knowing something that was not clearly communicated to us in the invitations that we actually received. That does not sit well with me. If I would have been told six years ago when I purchased my house in St. Louis Park that I would not be able to park in front of my house, I certainly would have thought twice about purchasing. And I am very concerned about the impact that this plan will have on the resale value of my house in the future. Please do not pass any plan for bike lanes on Dakota Ave that restricts any homeowner's ability to park in front of his or her house.

Dakota is all ready wider than many other streets, I see no need for making a “bike lane” When we have had a street make-over not that long ago. I don’t think this is necessary just to advertise that SLP has all these designated bike trails when it is making a hardship for tax paying homeowners.

Policy consideration: •Does the conditional use permit (CUP) application meet the zoning requirements for in- vehicle sales? •Is the variance application in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance and consistent with the comprehensive plan? Summary: The applicant, Robert Colehour representing Best Cleaners, requests a conditional use permit to continue operating a drive-through window serving a laundromat and dry cleaning business, and a variance to reduce the required west side yard width 10 feet, from 15 feet to 5 feet. The existing building was constructed in 1961. Best Cleaners has operated on the site since 1999. The applicant proposes a 2,909 square foot addition to the existing 4,680 square foot building, in order to expand the existing laundromat and dry cleaning business. The addition would be attached to the existing building on the south side, and would be one story tall with a full basement. The landscaping on the site will also be improved as part of the project. The planning commission and city staff find that the applications meet all requirements for a conditional use permit and variance. The findings are included in the attached resolution. The planning commission conducted a public hearing and no comments were received. The commission recommended approval of both applications with conditions, on a 6-0 vote. Next steps: If the city council approves the applications, the applicant can apply for permits as required for the building addition. Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Whereas, the property is guided Commercial in the Comprehensive Plan future land use map. Whereas, the property is located in the C-2 General Commercial zoning district. Whereas, the applicant requests a conditional use permit to allow in-vehicle sales on the site. Whereas, the applicant requests a variance from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance Section 36-194(f)(5) to allow a decrease of 10 feet width for the required west side yard from 15 feet to five feet. Findings Whereas, the city council has determined that the applications meet the conditions for in- vehicle sales in the C-2 General Commercial District, including: 1.The existing drive-through window and stacking are fully screened and separated from residential uses to the west and south by the existing building and proposed addition. 2.The business usually generates a queue of 2 to 3 cars, which complies with all yard requirements. The proof of parking site plan indicates there is space for up to six cars to queue on the property. 3.The business has used the drive-through window for many years, and staff has received no complaints. Staff does not anticipate any adverse effects from its continued use. 4.The typical queuing of 2 to 3 cars does not impede traffic in the parking lot nor access to or from the site. 5.The site is accessed from Utah Avenue. The use does not generate significant traffic on local residential streets. 6.The canvas canopy over the drive-through complies with all required architectural standards. 7.The current and proposed uses, including the drive-through window, are in conformance with the comprehensive plan. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 8a) Page 3 Title: Best Cleaners conditional use permit and variance Whereas, the uses on the property are a laundromat and dry cleaning service, which are permitted uses in the C-2 zoning district. Whereas, the use of this property is consistent with and supportive of principles, goals, objectives, land use designations, redevelopment plans, neighborhood objectives, and implementation strategies of the comprehensive plan. Whereas, the use is not detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community as a whole. It will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of properties, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, parking facilities on adjacent streets, and values of properties in close proximity to the conditional use. Whereas, the use is consistent with the regulations, intent and purpose of City Code and the zoning district in which the conditional use is located. Whereas, the use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, services or improvements which are either existing or proposed. Whereas, the project plans are consistent with the design and other requirements of site and landscape plans prepared by or under the direction of a professional landscape architect or civil engineer registered in the state and adopted as part of the conditions imposed on the use by the city council. Whereas, the project plans are consistent with the City’s stormwater, sanitary sewer, and water plans. Whereas, no negative impacts upon the health, safety and welfare of the community are anticipated from granting the west side yard variance. An apartment building is located approximately 25 feet from the proposed addition, which exceeds the requirements for distance between buildings located in the same development in the RC district. If two apartment buildings of the same size were constructed on the same property, they could be as close as 15 feet apart. Whereas, the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. The intent of the ordinance is to ensure sufficient space between buildings and uses to avoid negative impacts on neighboring properties. As noted above, the proposed building is 25 feet away from the apartment building, while a second apartment building could be constructed on the property and be only 15 feet away from the first apartment building. Whereas, the variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The expansion of the existing business supports the city’s strategic priority of providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development. The expansion is needed to meet the demands of the neighborhood and business growth. Whereas, there are practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning Code. The variance request is due to the existing building and the shape of the lot. The side setback variance would City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 8a) Page 4 Title: Best Cleaners conditional use permit and variance allow the construction of an addition that improves the efficiency of business operations, minimizes loss of off-street parking and maintains traffic circulation on the site. Whereas, granting the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire or endanger public safety. Whereas, granting the variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty. The variance allows for the most efficient layout of the parking lot and building addition. Whereas, the contents of Case Nos. 19-02-CUP and 19-03-VAR are hereby entered into and made part of the record of decision for this case. Conclusion Now therefore be it resolved that the conditional use permit and variance are hereby approved and accepted by the city council as being in accord and conformity with all ordinances, city plans and regulations of the City of St. Louis Park, provided, however, that this approval is made subject to the opinion of the City Attorney and certification by the City Clerk and subject to the following conditions: 1.The site shall be developed, used and maintained in conformance with the Official Exhibits.

Location: 8105 Minnetonka Blvd Case Nos: 19-02-CUP and 19-03-VAR Jacquelyn Kramer, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. The applicant applied for a conditional use permit and variance to construct a building addition to expand their existing operations. The property is zoned C-2 General Commercial, and Best Cleaners has operated on the site since 1999. Both the existing and proposed uses are permitted in the C-2 district. Existing building elevations consist of painted brick, glass glazing and the canvas canopy, and the new addition would be over 90% class one materials, which meets city architectural material standards. Zoning code section 36-366 states no building may display more than 5% of any elevation surface in bright pure accent colors. The existing yellow canopy makes up more than 5% of the building elevation, and does not comply with this provision. Staff recommends that as a condition of approval the existing canopy should be renovated to reduce the amount of bright pure accent colors to not more than 5% of the total building elevation. Staff finds this application meets all of the C-2 and general conditions for a CUP. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 8a) Page 8 Title: Best Cleaners conditional use permit and variance The existing and proposed building addition meet the north, east and south setback requirements. The west side of the existing building is only five feet off the property line and the applicant proposes continuing that line for the building addition. The parcel is adjacent to residential zoned parcels, so the required setback is fifteen feet. Applicant requested a variance to reduce the side setback to bring the existing building into compliance with the zoning code and allow the new addition to be built. After reviewing the application, city staff found little chances for negative impacts from a five foot setback due to the location of existing buildings on the site and the apartment building on the southwest. Practical difficulties exist in complying with the zoning code, and the variance will allow for the most efficient use of the interior space in the addition to maximize business operations. On-site parking will also be maximized with this layout, resulting in the least amount of impact of traffic circulation and on-street parking in the neighborhood. Staff recommends the commission close the public hearing and recommend approval of the conditional use permit and variance with conditions recommended by staff within the staff report. Commissioner Robertson questioned the variance of ten feet on the west, and indicated an interest in respecting that buffer between the existing residential use and Best Cleaners. He raised the possibility of the addition shifting 10 feet to comply with the regulation and avoid the variance. Architect for the applicant, John Kosmas with KK Design explained the plans presented best fits the property’s location with the least amount of impact to the neighboring parcels. Mr. Kosmas further explained that the addition would not be adjacent to the residential building. Commissioner Carper asked about the business hours and the long term plans for operations on the site. General Manager for Best Cleaners, Robert Colehour stated the back half of the building is only open for production hours, which is 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The front half of the building is a laundry mat and those hours are 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and then 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. Robert added they need the extra area so that they can consolidate operations from their Excelsior location. With the consolidation they will be able to add about six to seven full-time employees. Commissioner Carper asked if the business is a solely owned business or a franchise type of business. Mr. Colehour explained they are not a franchise and that they purchased the Excelsior location about three and a half years ago when it was Tonka Cleaners, then changed the name after purchase to Best. Commissioner Carper asked if customers from nearby businesses park in Best Cleaner’s lot, and if the business restricts parking and post signs in their lot. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 8a) Page 9 Title: Best Cleaners conditional use permit and variance Mr. Colehour responded that they do not post any of those signs, though they have thought about it. The restaurant’s busy times are when Best Cleaners isn’t parking or needing the space so it’s never been a real issue. Commissioner Robertson had a follow-up question related to the reaction to the request for reducing the primary color awning, understanding it’s a very prominent part of the signage. Mr. Kosmas says they’ve also discussed the issue of having to change the color or reduce the amount of the canopy that is yellow and would like to request that particular condition be removed. As an established business the color is part of their branding at this site and the other buildings they own and would like to stay with it. He adds that the building rendering exaggerates the color compared to what it actually is today. Commissioner Robertson asked city staff about removing the condition that requires renovating the existing canopy and allowing the canopy to allow it continue as a legal nonconformity. Ms. Kramer responded that the proposed expanded yellow canopy shown on the east elevation would need an additional variance. This would be considered a separate issue from the existing canopy and whether it’s allowed to continue as a legal, non-conforming use. Commissioner Peilen says she agrees with Commissioner Robertson on this point. The canopy has been on the building for some time and people use the color to identify the business. If it’s suddenly gone people may wonder where the cleaners went. She supports keeping the existing canopy. Commissioner Carper asked if the Commission can modify the request to allow the color to continue and have that within what would be approved, or is this something that has to be done outside of this meeting. Planning Supervisor Sean Walther said if the commission makes a recommendation to the council to not require a change to the existing canopy on the north elevation of the building, the existing canopy will continue as a legal non-conformity. Any new canopy would need to be in compliance with the current code or a variance would need to be requested through a separate process. Commissioner Peilen asked if the staff is aware of any complaints regarding the color. Mr. Walther said staff has not received complaints and the only comments received were from two internal people from the city. Chair Eckholm asked for clarification as he was under the impression the issue was more about the size and percentage of the building that was that color versus the color itself. Mr. Walther said Chair Eckholm is correct; it is about the percentage and that the zoning code architectural standards limit bright pure accent colors to five percent of a building elevation, which this exceeds. City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 8a) Page 10 Title: Best Cleaners conditional use permit and variance Chair Eckholm asked if the applicant chose to keep the awning would they have to go smaller or could they leave it as-is. Mr. Walther said they can keep the canopy as-is or renovate it to reduce the yellow color. Mr. Kosmas stated the applicant is willing to modify the amount of yellow color on the proposed for the canopy on the east side of the building to comply with the zoning code. Commissioner Carper asked how colors are approved and how does one determine where the cutoff is between shade, tint and pantone. Mr. Walther said as the Zoning Administrator he interprets the regulation, and that if someone challenges the interpretation it can be appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals and City Council. Commissioner Carper asked if the owner would be willing to change the yellow of the canopy to a less bright color. Owner of the building and business, Dave Colehour stated they did not want to replace the existing canopy at this time. He added he does not care what the color the additional awning is as long as it looks nice and is more than willing to work with the city. The chair opened the public hearing. As no one else was present wishing to speak, the Chair closed the public hearing. The commissioners discussed amending the staff recommendations to allow the existing canopy to remain as legally nonconforming. Commissioner Robertson made a motion to approve the conditional use permit and the variance as recommended by staff with the exception of the first portion of condition number two to allow the north canopy to remain and only require changes to the proposed new awning on the east elevation. Commissioner Carper seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0.

Policy consideration: Does the proposed zoning ordinance amendment promote safe and effective lighting for parking lots, and protect neighboring properties from nuisance lighting? Summary: An ordinance was presented to the council on January 7, 2019 that established standards for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and revised lighting requirements for parking lots. The council approved the (EVSE) standards, but tabled the parking lot lighting revisions. Staff reviewed the Illumination Engineering Society (IES) recommendations and determined that less significant modifications to the current regulations could be supported and still provide lighting that is both safe and has minimal impact on adjacent properties. Therefore, staff revised and reduced some of the light levels recommended in the previous draft ordinance. Staff provided a summary of these changes in a March 11, 2019 study session report and presented to the council at the March 25, 2019 study session. The ordinance is summarized in the attached discussion. The purpose of the proposed changes is to provide safe, secure and effective lighting for users of parking lots in the city. The changes also reconcile conflicting provisions in the current ordinance. The changes allow for more lighting during business hours in order to address the needs of all users, require lighting to be reduced after business hours, and continue to protect neighboring properties from nuisances that can be caused by outdoor lighting. An affirmative vote of four councilmembers is needed to approve the first reading of the ordinance. Financial or budget considerations: No considerations. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable. Supporting documents: Discussion Table comparing the changes to the lighting ordinance Ordinance Prepared by: Jacquelyn Kramer, Associate Planner Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator Reviewed by: Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 8b) Page 2 Title: Ordinance regarding outdoor parking lighting standards Discussion Background: The zoning ordinance includes lighting standards for parking lots and parking structures to ensure safe lighting levels for users of all ages. It also includes controls to reduce or eliminate spillover lighting and glare onto nearby properties. These standards are reinforced by studies conducted by the IES. Below is a summary of the proposed changes. There is also a table that compares the various proposals that have been shown to city council. Additionally, definitions to some key terms are provided at the end of the report. Summary of issues and proposed changes. Staff reviewed the council comments received at the January 7, 2019 meeting and revisited the IES standards. Staff made adjustments to the proposed ordinance to better address the concerns expressed by the council, while remaining consistent with IES recommendations. A summary of the revisions is as follows: 1.Adjacent to residential. Current city code limits lighting to a maximum of 0.5 footcandles at the property line adjacent to residential. The city’s existing regulations have been effective to address community concerns. No changes are proposed. 2.Adjacent to non-residential. Current city code limits lighting to a maximum of 1.0 footcandles at the property line adjacent to non-residential properties, including public right-of-ways. The city’s existing regulations have been effective to address community concerns. No changes are proposed. 3.Maximum average allowed. Current city code has conflicting regulations. The staff recommendation under the current proposed ordinance is to resolve this conflict by using the lowest IES recommendation, which is 3.0 footcandles for persons of all ages. This light level acknowledges that some people need more light than others, including older people and people with vision impairments. 4.Minimum/maximum levels. The previous draft ordinance added minimum and maximum light levels as reflected from asphalt and concrete surfaces which is redundant and unnecessary under the current code; therefore, staff removed it from consideration in the revised proposed ordinance. 5.After-hours. The previous draft ordinance added maximum light levels after business hours, which does not exist in the current code. Staff reviewed the maximum light levels, and revised them under the current proposed ordinance to lowest levels recommended by IES for maintaining safety and security. 6.Parking structures. Under the current proposed ordinance, staff revised the structured parking lighting to differentiate between fully enclosed structures and structures that are open to the sides. The rule for fully enclosed structures is proposed to stay at a minimum average of 5.0 footcandles. The rule for partially enclosed structures was reduced to a maximum average of 3.0 footcandles, which is consistent with parking lots. The code already includes provisions that control light spill and glare. No changes are proposed to these provisions. The city’s regulations have been effective for staff to address community concerns related to these two issues. The code requires all outdoor parking lighting fixtures to be shielded and/or downward cast and mounted at a certain (maximum) height.

Harmening, City Manager Jake Spano, Mayor Attest: Approved as to form and execution: Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Soren Mattick, City Attorney First Reading April 15, 2019 Second Reading May 6, 2019 Date of Publication May 16, 2019 Date Ordinance takes effect May 31, 2019 Meeting: City council Meeting date: April 15, 2019 Action agenda item: 8c Executive summary Title: Ordinance regarding the board of zoning appeals Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of an ordinance assigning the individuals serving on the planning commission to the board of zoning appeals, and set the second reading of an ordinance for May 6, 2019. Policy consideration: Should the persons serving on the planning commission be assigned the duties and responsibilities of the board of zoning appeals? Summary: Attached is an ordinance that assigns the responsibilities and duties of the board of zoning appeals (BOZA) to the persons serving on the planning commission. If the ordinance is adopted, then a separate appointment to the BOZA will no longer be required by the council. Those appointed to the planning commission will automatically take on the duties of the BOZA. This change means the BOZA will include the youth member appointed to the planning commission, although the youth member will not have voting authority as specified in the ordinance establishing the planning commission membership. If approved, the change will take effect immediately following the completion of the process of adopting the ordinance. The current schedule shows the effective date as May 31, 2019. An affirmative vote of four councilmembers is needed to approve the first reading of the ordinance. Financial or budget considerations: No considerations. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable. Supporting documents: Discussion Ordinance Prepared by: Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator Reviewed by: Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City council meeting of April 15, 2019 (Item No. 8c) Page 2 Title: Ordinance regarding the board of zoning appeals Discussion Background: The following led to the proposal to reassign the BOZA duties to those persons appointed to the planning commission: 1.The BOZA receives approximately three applications per year, resulting in several meetings being canceled. The unpredictability of the BOZA meeting schedule has on several occasions resulted in difficulty achieving a quorum. The planning commission schedule is consistent and therefore, does not have difficulties ensuring a quorum. 2.The BOZA meeting schedule is once a month, whereas the planning commission meets twice a month. The additional planning commission meetings makes it possible for the city to be more responsive to a variance application than the current BOZA is able to. 3.The change could allow for more consistency in responding to variance requests, since there will not be two separate bodies reviewing similar types of applications. Role and duties of BOZA: If approved, the role and responsibilities of the BOZA will not change: 1.The BOZA will continue to be the final decision on variance requests. Appeals to the BOZA decision will continue to be heard by the council. 2.Variance applications submitted to the city in conjunction with other applications such as a conditional use permit or subdivision will continue to be heard by the planning commission, not the BOZA. 3.The BOZA will continue to hear appeals to staff decisions or interpretations to the zoning code. Appeals of the BOZA decisions will continue to be heard by the council. Meeting structure: The BOZA and planning commission would exist in a framework very similar to the city council and EDA. The BOZA would continue to meet as a board separate from the planning commission. The BOZA would elect a chair and conduct business as it always has and as outlined in the bylaws. The BOZA would meet immediately before the planning commission meeting, and the planning commission meeting would begin immediately following the conclusion of the BOZA meeting.
