The event caught medias attention (Channel 4, Star Tribune and SWCTC) With the hill being icy, ropes were tied to the trees to assist sliders up the hill. Glow sticks were tied to the tow ropes and strung between the trees. Cider and cookies were served outside the fire hall. Thanks to SuperMom s for the donations of 300 cookies. $100 worth of glow sticks were purchased and distributed. The bracelets were too small. The necklaces and hook versions worked best.

Memo To: Park and Rec Commission From: Jeff Dionisopoulos-Public Works Supervisor Date: January 12, 2017 Re: Dingle Park Renovation Project BACKGROUND The public works department received a matching grant to renovate Dingle Park. This grant will allow us to upgrade the play equipment and add new concrete walkways and edger to become ADA compliant. The grant will reimburse 50% of the expenses for the playground equipment, the concrete walkways and edger s, and the ADA woodchips. There are other improvements that are needed at Dingle Park that are not part of the reimbursable part of the project. DISCUSSION The public works department would like to accomplish additional projects at Dingle Park that are not part of the reimbursable part of the project. They include: 1. Replace the roof on the shelter. a. The roof is in horrible shape and it will need replacement in the next 1-2 years. We received a quote for J&S siding. 2. Remove all existing trees around the playground. 1. Roof $5760 2. Tree Removal $300 3. Tree Replacement $2000 4. Black Dirt $940 5. Grass Seed $1000 Total $10000 a. The trees that are around the playground are either dead or they are ash trees. The emerald ash borer has been found in Hastings which means we will need to remove or treat these trees in the near future. We will accomplish this objective in house but we will need to rent a stump grinder. 3. Tree replacement a. Every tree that we remove we will replace. I will work with in house staff and a tree supplier to determine the placement and the best trees to install.

4. Purchase black dirt a. During the design phase we determined that we could reduce the size of the playground area by 42 feet. This is a benefit because we will be farther away from Pullman Avenue which will create a safer play area. By doing so we will need to replace that area with black dirt. We are hoping to reuse as much material as we can throughout the project. 5. Grass Seed a. Once the project is completed we will need to have the area reseeded. I have concluded that hydro seeding is the most effective method to reestablish grass in this area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission review the proposed project and make a recommendation to the City Council concerning the construction of the Dingle Park Improvements

Two prizes will be awarded: Best Costume, Best Sled DECEMBER Judy Kenyon, on behalf of Discovery Church, proposed the installation of a butterfly garden at Abdella Park by planting a variety of prairie plants (i.e., red and orange milkweed) amongst the grassy area.

Parks Update: Jeff Dionisopoulos, Public Works Supervisor, updated the Commission on the following: Abdella Park Pavement replacement--jeff has obtained a few quotes for pavement replacement and the City is obtaining bids as well. Exercise Equipment The life expectancy of the proposed equipment is 2-3 years. Jeff cautioned the commission about this purchase and recommended that the commission look at alternative equipment. Concrete pads are projected to be installed in May. As part of the donation, St. Paul Park Refining Company would like to volunteer their time assisting in the installation of concrete pads and equipment.

Dingle Park Concept Plan proposed a curb cut along Holley Avenue. It was recommended that the curb cut be eliminated and a sidewalk extension be added from Pullman Avenue to the park. Due to the fact that more residents walk to this park than drive the Commission was in agreement with this change. The Commission was in agreement with moving the equipment further from Pullman Avenue thus creating a larger green space near Pullman Avenue. The Commission was concerned with the tree removal plan, but is in favor of tree replacement. The Commission was in favor of steel roof replacement for the pavilion. The Commission recommended that one of the swings be an Expression Swing (face to face swing for adult and child)

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION 2016 SUMMARY MARCH Reviewed Police Stats for 2015 & 2016 ReviewedFire Reports Activity continues to be less than previous year(s). Fourteen calls to date this year with a total of 86 for the calendar year 2015. Four new members recently added who began a year-long probationary period March 1. The addition of the new members makes a total of 29 paid-on-call members. House-burn training drill was not held recently due to asbestos inspection not being completed in enough time. As of now, the drill is postponed and could take place as late as Fall 2016. Several calls to SA noted on report. The alarm system was accidentally activated creating a false alarm each time. Problem has been corrected. Fire and Police Appreciation/Retirement Formal Dinner scheduled for March 12. Police Chief Jessica Billmeyer was introduced and welcomed. Stop sign discussion: Sign at 9 th Street & Laurel Avenue. Several controlled-uncontrolled intersections and the need for stop signs and/or changes were discussed due to more families with children now in the area. Council Liaison Tim Jones presented a map to aid in the discussion and noted the cost of installing signs involves the cost of the sign itself as well as the labor for installing. Several existing signs may be used to save on the expense associated with new signs. Council Liaison Jones recommended the installation of a two-way sign going North and South on Laurel & 9th Street. (Concern brought to Public Works Commission who referred it to the Public Safety Commission). Motion by Johnson, second by Hirte to recommend Council approve a two-way stop sign at the intersection of Laurel Avenue & 9 th Street. Motion carried. The intersection of Lincoln and 10th is now a four-way stop and could be made into a two-way with signs on Lincoln (which is a feeder street and wider than 10th). Council Liaison Jones also noted that the city budget will be more solidified later in the year and recommended re-addressing these intersection additions/changes at the June Commission meeting. A future discussion of this intersection and potential change would evaluate the number of incidents/accidents/history of activity (with periodic interim police monitoring for review) by the Commission at the next meeting. Discussion regarding a back fill issue on a property near 3 rd & 15 th re-addressed. Per Council Liaison Jones, City Administrator Kevin Walsh notified the homeowner of his responsibility regarding the unfilled hole and need to back fill. Police Chief Billmeyer will follow up and report back at the June Commission meeting. JUNE Meeting cancelled

SEPTEMBER Police stats from January-June 2016 were reviewed. A brief recap of Heritage Days was also presented by the Chief where only a few minor incidents occurred. The Commission accepted Dave Hirte s resignation. Chief Billmeyer distributed a recently adopted Potentially Dangerous/Dangerous Dog Ordinance that is the result of other city dog ordinances reviewed and incorporated into a new SPP ordinance. The city s former ordinance was less inclusive as well as less restrictive in wording. Definitions of potentially dangerous and dangerous have been expanded and dog owners rights and responsibilities clarified. Copies of a July 22 request from the City of St. Paul Park to the State of Minnesota Department of Public Safety for Inclusion in the License Reinstatement Diversion Program were distributed and discussed. This program would initially be a pilot program with potential to become a permanently adopted policy. Individuals with suspended or revoked licenses who are struggling to obtain a valid driver s license would be allowed to enroll in classes (after a screening process) and establish a payment program until such time their licenses could be lawfully granted. Only a minimal cost to the city for the printing of necessary forms would be incurred. The Facebook site for the St. Paul Park Police Department was briefly discussed. Chief Billmeyer requested any posting suggestions or ideas from Commission members and intends to not include crime statistics, but to instead focus on more positive and fyi items of community interest. City squad graphics are in the process of being redone. Existing blue lettering for squad cars is being replaced with gold and dark navy as well as Also Covering Grey Cloud Island added. Update: Stop Signs (two) at 9th Street and Laurel Avenue have been removed. Signs at Lincoln and 10th still need to be removed. Chief Billmeyer will report back at the December Commission meeting regarding completion. 3rd Street & 15th Avenue back fill (as a result of an approved Fire Department house burn) has been completed. DECEMBER October report distributed and reviewed. Routine calls with average stats; Department news on Facebook posting(s); Reminders to observe snow emergency parking and to remove valuables from vehicles to deter burglars. Heritage Days Saturation Report for 8/19 and 8/20/16 was distributed and reviewed. Low number of DWIs (some may not have been part of Heritage Days traffic stops but stops made by officers outside SPP); Average event attendance; Mobile Command Vehicle on site this year which Chief Billmeyer felt was helpful. Tim requested follow-up information from the Chief on how many occurrences were actually St. Paul Park residents as well as the attendance number for 2016 compared to last year. Cottage Grove structure fire one week ago. SPP assisted with 13 SPP personnel and five from Woodbury. Discussion of ongoing assistance to Woodbury (90% of WB calls are medical) with the possibility of Woodbury going with a private ambulance service which would lessen the need for SPP assistance.

SPP firefighters are EMRs, not EMTs and Chief Lee would like this status to remain as is in the future. No action requested or required as a result of discussion. Today s call was this year s 92nd which is on target for the year s predicted total number of 100. New engine-only fire truck to be purchased in 2017 with an estimated cost of $400,000 with an additional $60-$70,000 for equipment. Chief Lee has agreed to another two-year term for a total of 13 years as Chief. Four new recent recruits (two females and one husband and wife team). Michelle Johnson, Ken Gauw and Lynn Hotaling all agreed to another term on the Commission. Officers for 2017 Michelle Johnson, Chair & Tanya Foote, Secretary. Review ideas for Mission and Vision Statement for new Police Policy Manual is ongoing. Core values (four or five) such as integrity and professionalism will be included as well as Mission goals. Chief Billmeyer will eventually post on the City website and/or Department Facebook account. Brief discussion on railroad yard expansion (for new car storage and on/off loading of cars). Tim remarked that the main concern is the direction of truck traffic in and out of the area. Talks are ongoing between the RR and City with an estimated completion date the end of next year. Chief Billmeyer recommended not removing stop signs at Lincoln and 10th which was agreed upon by Commission members. In addition, she strongly feels the need to install 20 mph school zone signs when school is in session and students are present in the areas of Pullman and Oltman Schools. Chief Billmeyer will follow up on signage.

CITY OF ST. PAUL PARK WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 1487 A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING DEDICATED STATE FUNDING FOR CITY STREETS WHEREAS, Minnesota contains over 141,000 miles of roadway, and over 22,500 miles or 16 percent--are owned and maintained by Minnesota s 853 cities; and WHEREAS, almost 85 percent of municipal streets are ineligible for dedicated Highway User Tax Distribution Fund dollars; and WHEREAS, the more than 700 Minnesota cities with populations below 5,000 are ineligible for dedicated Highway User Tax Distribution Fund dollars; and WHEREAS, city streets are a separate but integral piece of the network of roads supporting movement of people and goods; and WHEREAS, existing funding mechanisms, such as Municipal State Aid (MSA), property taxes and special assessments, have limited applications, leaving cities under-equipped to address growing needs; and WHEREAS, city cost participation in state and county highway projects diverts resources from city-owned streets; and WHEREAS, maintenance costs increase as road systems age, and no city--large or small is spending enough on roadway capital improvements to maintain a 50-year lifecycle; and WHEREAS, for every one dollar spent on maintenance, a road authority--and therefore taxpayers--save seven dollars in repairs; and WHEREAS, cities need greater resources, including an additional dedicated state funding source for transportation, and flexible policies in order to meet growing demands for street improvements and maintenance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Paul Park, Washington County, Minnesota supports an omnibus transportation funding bill that provides additional dedicated state funding for city streets including funding that can be used for non-msa city street maintenance, construction and reconstruction.

The site is located within the I-1, Light Industrial Zoning District. The site is the location of Valdes Lawn Care. The Planning Commission tabled this request at their December meeting in order to allow for the applicant to come up with a parking plan. Having no parking plan presented by the January meeting, the Commission forwarded it on to the Council for consideration due to the review deadline being on March 1 st. REQUEST The site is currently used for an off-site service business as a landscaping company. This use requires a conditional use permit within the I-1 District. The business has been on the site since about 2010. It was established prior to the 2013 amendments to the I-1 District which established the requirement for the CUP. The property owner placed two landscaping storage bunkers on the property. These bunkers then had roofs placed over them. One is 16 x 20 and the second is 20 x 32 in size. These structures require building permits, which have not been received. The building permits cannot be issued without the conditional use permit being granted. The roofs over these bunkers are metal peaked roofs. The applicant would like to place a roof over a third bunker to enclose an area of 32 x 48 feet. This roof was intended to be a fabric hoop type roof. The Planning Commission requested that the applicant place a standard roof over this structure. The applicant stated that this would not be a problem. By placing a roof on these structures, the structures become technically accessory buildings. The I-1 District has required setbacks of 30 feet to the rear and 10 feet to the sides. The structures are placed along the rear and side yard property lines, necessitating a variance. The structures appear to be right on the property lines. The Planning Commission did not have an issue with the setback and found this variance to be acceptable. PARKING PLAN The site currently has no striped formal parking areas, as required by the Ordinance. An analysis conducted depicts the capacity of about 50 stalls on the site. Section 74-263 states that the parking required for this type of use is 1 stall for every 1000 square feet plus 1 stall for every worker on the largest shift and 1 stall for every company vehicle. The size of the buildings on the site would require about 7 parking stalls. It is estimated that the user has about 50 employees on the largest shift plus there are about 15 work trucks parked on the site.

This creates the need for 72 parking stalls to be provided. It would be difficult to meet the parking requirements with the addition of these storage bunkers. Without the bunkers, there may be about eight more stalls provided, which is still less than necessary. The City may choose to view this use as a special use for parking and create a specific parking calculation based on: (1) Size of building (2) Type of use (3) Number of employees (4) Expected volume and turnover of customer traffic (5) Expected frequency and number of delivery or service vehicle The Commission requested a revised parking plan to account for 72 stalls. The site appears to be able to accommodate 50, requiring 22 stalls to be provided in another manner. The applicant has stated that they have an agreement with a property owner at 1313 7 th Street to provide an off-site/joint use location for the parking. These properties have two light industrial storage buildings and are over 1000 feet away from the property at 1140 6th. Based on the size of these buildings the parking required for this site would be 22 stalls. The applicant is proposing 20 stalls at this location. The parking areas are proposed to be informal on the site. The City s Zoning Ordinance allows for joint use of parking facilities and off-site parking in certain instances. Joint parking, as governed by Section 72-264, is required to be between businesses that have different demand times, such as a church and a bowling alley. The two sites are required to be within 300 feet of each other to qualify. The City s Off-Site Parking Ordinance in Section 74-265 also requires the sites to be within 300 feet of one another. It also requires the properties to be under joint ownership or the off-site parking area to be publicly owned. There are limited options available for this use, at this scale. One option would be for the business to limit the number of workers on the site or to store their work trucks in a building. Another option may be to remove the bunkers or some of the bunkers to get the number of parking stalls increased. A third possibility would be for the Council to consider the joint parking arrangement with a variance for the distance and use types. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA The City shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use for the inclusion of these structures on the site. Its judgment shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official city comprehensive land use plan. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in this article. 4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 2

5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. VARIANCE REVIEW CRITERIA The application will also need consideration against the variance review criteria found in the City s Zoning Ordinance. A variance should not be approved unless: 1. The proposed variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Ordinance. 3. The purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon economic considerations. 4. The plight of the landowner is created by circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. 5. The granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located. 6. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Ordinance. 7. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. 8. The variance does not involve a use that is not allowed within the respective zoning district. 9. That the granting of the variance will not confer special privileges on the parcel in question that are not generally available to other property in the same zoning district. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission reviewed the request and indicated to the applicant that they found that the CUP would be acceptable if the applicant could provide a parking plan that meets the City s parking ordinance. They also stated that they would look favorably upon the variance request for the building locations, if the applicant would meet the City s Ordinances regarding roofing materials and place a traditional roof structure over the storage areas. The Planning Commission forwarded on the request with a recommendation of approval related to a conforming parking plan being provided.. 3

Memorandum Engineering Planning Environmental Construction 701 Xenia Avenue South Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55416 Tel: 763-541-4800 Fax: 763-541-1700 To: From: Kevin Walsh City Administrator Morgan Dawley, PE, City Engineer Jim Stremel, PE, Project Manager WSB & Associates, Inc. Date: February 2, 2017 Re: 2017 Alley Paving & Abdella Park Improvement Project Receive Bids Background On June 6, 2016, the City Council of St. Paul Park received the feasibility report for the alley paving project to be constructed in the year 2016. The project was initially advertised and bids received on August 31, 2016. The prices received were higher than anticipated and the City Council resolved to reject all of the bids. Since that time, the City Council directed staff to include the bituminous trail improvements within Abdella Park to provide a larger project scope and rebid during a more competitive bidding environment. On December 5, 2016, the City Council of St. Paul Park resolved to approve the plans and specifications and authorize bidding for Alley Paving & Abdella Park Improvement Project to be constructed in the year 2017. On January 26, 2017 seven bids were received. Proposed Project The proposed improvements within the alley area include the existing pavement removal, subgrade correction, aggregate base class 5, and new bituminous pavement installation, along the 16 wide alley between Lincoln Avenue and Selby Avenue, from 13 th Avenue to Pullman Avenue. An alternate to include storm sewer improvements to address drainage concerns was also included with the contract documents and bid with the project. The Abdella Park Trail Improvements include the existing pavement removal, subgrade correction, aggregate base class 5, and new pavement installation, along the 8 wide trail corridor. The Abdella Park improvements were not included with the enclosed resolution or computed as a part of the assessments and City costs. The bids received on January 26, 2017 were favorable. A summary of the bids received are attached, along with a resolution declaring the cost and setting an assessment hearing for the project. A recommendation for the award of the project can occur after the assessment hearing is conducted. Minneapolis St. Cloud Equal Opportunity Employer
