for the Commission,the Chair is calling this special meeting to ensure that that work
goes forward in a timely manner. It is important that all Commissioners make a
special effort to attend this meeting. The meeting will hopefully take less than one
half hour and will only deal with this issue.

3. Review and approval of the contract with John Connelly regarding his work on ward
redistricting.
4. Adjournment
Reminder:Commissioners are responsible to contact the Secretary if they will not be able
to attend by 8 am.of the day of the meeting or they will be considered unexcused. Three
unexcused absences could result in removal from the Commission per the Standing
Rules.

DATE OF DECISION: May 23, 2001
ITEM: MAC North/South Runway Extension, Trunk Storm Sewer
FINDING: Exemption Granted
APPLICANT:
Metropolitan Airports Commission
6040 - 28th Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55450
CONTACT:
Beth Kunkel
URS/BRW, Inc.
Thresher Square, 700 Third Street South
Minneapolis, MN 55415
PURPOSE:
Construction of North-South Runway at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
(MSP)
LOCATION:
Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) is located in Sections 24, 25 and 36,
T28N, R24W and in Sections 19, 29, 30, 31 and 32, T28N,R23W,Hennepin County,
Minnesota. The Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates of the project are Zone 15,
North 4970000, East 482500. The project site is bordered on the north by Trunk
Highway(TH) 62, on the west by TH 77, on the south by TH 494 and on the east by State
Highway 5 and the Minnesota River.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
The 1989 Minnesota Legislature directed the Metropolitan Airports Commission(MAC)
and the Metropolitan Council (MC)to study the region's aviation needs 30 years into the future
(the year 2020). The agencies were asked to compare development of a new replacement airport
with expansion of MSP. To comply with the directive of the Minnesota Legislature, MAC and
•
MC identified an area in Dakota County for study and comparison with the existing airport
facility. The ensuing seven-year study,known as the Dual Track Airport Planning Process,
resulted in a legislative mandate to implement the MSP 2010 Long Term Comprehensive Plant
(LTCP), a phase of the MSP 2020 Concept Plan. Various alternative layouts were considered
within the identified Dakota County site. These alternatives were not selected by the legislature.
Upon the selection of the MSP Alternative over the Dakota County site, six concept plans
were prepared for the MSP site. Various Draft Alternative Environmental Documents(AEDs)
were prepared in which six different MSP alternatives were examined. Two of the original six
expansion alternatives (Concepts 3 and 4)were dropped prior to the preparation of the final AED
because of significant operational, safety and noise concerns. Of the four remaining alternatives
considered in the AED, all would have required unavoidable wetland impacts. In the Final AED,
Concept 6 was selected as the best development plan. Seventeen environmental factors were
analyzed in reaching the determination that Concept 6 was the preferred alternative. These
factors included air quality, archaeological resources,biotic communities,bird-aircraft hazards,
construction impacts, threatened and endangered species, energy supply and natural resources,
floodplains, historic/architectural resources, land use,noise, Section 4(f)park and recreational
lands, socioeconomic,transportation access, surface water quality, groundwater, and wildlife
refuge impacts. It is a portion of Concept 6 which is presented in the permit application. MAC
has previously applied for, and received, a WCA permit for Phase I and Phase II wetland impacts
for the construction of the runway portion of this project.
Trunk storm sewer installation is required as part of the new runway construction to
collect and treat storm water runoff prior to discharge into the Minnesota River. The system
consists primarily of 10' x 10' box culvert to collect runoff from the increased impervious
surface areas from the new runway and related pavements,with low flows diverting into a storm
water pond in the ravine/concrete flume area on property owned by the Department of Veterans
Affairs(DVA)just east of the Fort Snelling National Cemetery. A separate environmental
assessment was completed by the DVA for work to be completed on their property, and is
available from URS/BRW upon request. The DVA has conveyed a property easement to MAC
for the construction of the pond.
In addition to the storm water pond to be constructed for additional runoff from the new
north/south runway, a second storm water collection pond is being constructed in the same
ravine/flume area, in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Transportation(Mn/DOT),
to collect low flow runoff from Mn/DOT and DVA property. This pond will be located on
MAC-owned property, and represents the site where the wetland impact will occur.
On October 20, 2000,URS/BRW prepared a Wetland Delineation Report for the trunk
storm sewer project. The reports states that one site was identified as meeting the vegetation and
hydrology parameters of a wetland,however,the soil characteristics were inconclusive. A
review of the historical topography maps and aerial photography indicate that the wetland was
not present in the past. Evidence of hydrology observed is the result of a massive flow volume
through the ravine/flume during peak discharge events. Further,water is periodically impeded by
the water control structure located downgrade from the wetland area.

Based on conversations between URS/BRW and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE), it is understood that this wetland is non jurisdictional. Historically,wetland
characteristics were not evident in this area. The wetland apparently was created as a result of
storm water management facility construction. The COE has provided MAC with a letter
verifying that the wetland does not fall under their jurisdiction.
Based on the information provided, the project is exempt, and it was determined that no
Technical Evaluation Panel was necessary, nor was a public hearing required for this decision.
APPLICATION OF THE FACTS TO THE LAW:
The impacted wetland is not a DNR protected water,nor under COE jurisdiction. The
area impacted is approximately 0.478 acres. The project is exempt under MN Rule Chapter
8420.0122, Subparagraph 5, resulting from construction of storm water management facilities
without the intent of creating a wetland.
FINDING:
The exemption is granted.

NOTICE
OF A
SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE
SAINT PAUL CHARTER COMMISSION
DATE: Thursday,June 7,2001
TIME: 12:00 noon
PLACE: Room 220,City Hall
This meeting is being called due to a lack of quorum at the May meeting at which
time the contract with John Connelly regarding his work on ward redistricting was to
be approved. Since ward redistricting is a mandated responsibility in the City Charter
for the Commission,the Chair is calling this special meeting to ensure that that work
goes forward in a timely manner. It is important that all Commissioners make a
• special effort to attend this meeting. The meeting will hopefully take less than one
half hour and will only deal with this issue.
Agenda
1. Call to Order
2. Citizen Comments
3. Review and approval of the contract with John Connelly regarding his work on ward
redistricting.
4. Adjournment
Reminder:Commissioners are responsible to contact the Secretary if they will not be able
to attend by 8 a.m.of the day of the meeting or they will be considered unexcused. Three
unexcused absences could result in removal from the Commission per the Standing
Rules.
For further information concerning the Charter Commission,please contact Bill Johnson,
Administrative Secretary,at 612-729-5237.

PERSONS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
• Reese reported that the CapitolRiver Council-sponsored Earth Fair at the Norwest Center was well
attended. He was pleased the BAB elected to participate in the downtown event. Molly Fitzpatrick,
Lisa Falk, Cory Manthei and Richard Arey all generously volunteered time to staff the BAB booth
for the two-day event. From all accounts, they did a really fine job.
• Reese said that the Met Council's TAB Programming &Funding Committee has rescinded its March
vote to eliminate the STP bikeway/walkway category from the 2001 TEA-21 solicitation package.
BAB Resolution 01-07 requesting this action,passed at the April meeting, had been forwarded to the
Metropolitan Council which apparently had also received numerous objections from other parties
regarding the March vote.
• Chramosta reminded the BAB that the annual B-BOP (bike, bus, or car pool) Day is May 17`h
Six or seven rides are scheduled across the greater metro area to encourage people to "think and
act multi-modal."
Arey adjusted the agenda bringing the Riverview Corridor agenda item forward.

B.A.B. Meeting: May 1, 2001
Minutes: Continued
AWARENESS i & PROMOTION SEGMENT
Riverview Corridor Citizen Group Meetings: The key actors in this project are the Metropolitan Council,
Metro Transit, MnDOT, Ramsey County and the City of Saint Paul. Schroeder said there was a good turn out
for the group's recent meeting. The West Seventh Street"neighborhood issue"is receiving a lot of attention.
Schroeder doesn't believe inclusion of bike lanes in the Riverview Corridor is a real possibility - "that bike
parking is the best that we can hope for" in this multi-modal transportation project. Newmark moved for
the BAB to send a letter of support for making substantive accommodations for bicycle use in the
Riverview Corridor and urging the Met Council to act accordingly. Falk seconded. Motion passed.
2001 Priorities /Phase VI: Falk updated the BAB on her recent meeting with Public Works Director, Tom
Eggum, to discuss 2001 BAB priorities and the department directors' response to the 2001 Goals Matrix. In
discussion, board members agreed that the following priorities are important and require immediate attention:
• Bike signage - a policy for bicycle infrastructure
• Urban villages -making multi modal connections to each other and to the Mississippi River
• Maintenance - existing bicycle infrastructure
• "Share the Road"policy- creating operative parameters
Arey will send a letter to Messrs. Eggum, Wittgenstein, and Sweeney asking for early collaboration between
the appropriate department and the BAB on the above issues. Manthei recommended sending a copy of this
letter to Chief Finney.
CIB Update: Falk said that final arrangements are being completed for the CIB committee's bus tour to
review possible projects for the next CIB funding cycle. She has selected several stops on the Public Works
tour, e.g., Trout Brook Trail at Jackson and Arlington, to highlight Public Works' "bike program project."
Arey said that on the Department of Parks and Recreation's tour, he expects the NEC's "Grand Round Project"
to be similarly highlighted.
Mayoral Candidates Position Statement: Chramosta updated the BAB on work of the Minnesota Bicycle
& Pedestrian Alliance to poll this year's mayoral candidates to determine their respective positions on issues
important to bike/ped advocacy groups. Arey said the Minnesota Coalition of Bicyclists has in the past drafted
such a questionnaire and that it might prove useful to the Alliance. He referred Chramosta to Dorian Grilley.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OPMEENT •?► IMPROVEMENT SEGMENT
Phalen Boulevard: Schroeder briefed the BAB on the April4`h meeting of the 12-member Phalen Boulevard
Design Advisory Committee. Inasmuch as this was the groups first meeting, substantive issues did not play a
central role in the meeting.
Cliff Street Bike Lanes: Newmark said that the Cliff Street/ Saint Clair Avenue Improvement Association
may choose to come to the June meeting to discuss the Cliff Street Project. Members of the BAB expressed
reservations, as had Newmark earlier, over deleting an eastbound bike lane from part of the project. All present
agreed that the project should be built in conformity with the City's Transportation Plan.
Wacouta Bridge Update: Inasmuch as Olsen was not in attendance, this item was laid over for the
June meeting.
-2-
• B.A.B. Meeting: May 1, 2001.
Minutes: Continued.
Grand Round Update: Arey provided an update on the Neighborhood Energy Consortium's CIB submittal
vis a vis installing signage on the Grand Round. The board also discussed the Grand Round Master Plan and
the public comment, some pro - some con, that has recently been in the news in regards to the Grand Round.
Newmark moved for the BAB to support the Grand Round Master Plan. Manthei seconded. Motion
passed.
PROGRAMING & EVENTS SEGMENT
Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour Update: Arey said that he recently has been contacted by representatives of
"Trailside," a nationally syndicated public television series watched by an estimated 2.3 million viewers. If a
local sponsor is found to provide about 15% of the $425,000 production cost of a segment, producers would
feature the 2001 Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour next season. Efforts are underway to find a sponsor.
OPERATIONS SEGMENT
Monthly Meetings /Possible Day Change: A discussion of the pros vs. cons of changing the monthly
meeting date from the first Tuesday of the month, took place. Various scenarios were considered, but
consensus was not reached that changing the meeting date was preferable to maintaining the status quo.
The board decided not to take action on this issue at this time.
BAB Structure/Recruitment: Reese updated the BAB on recruitment efforts at the April 17-18 EarthFair
at the Norwest Center. Several leads were developed at the two-day celebration of Earth Week. Unfortunately,
in most cases the interested party resided in a ward that currently is represented on the BAB. Reese said that
currently, wards 2, 4, and 5 are vacant, as is the Parks Commission which hasn't been actively represented on
the BAB for nearly four years.
All agreed that, the active participation of all city staff and increasing the size of the board would greatly assist
the BAB in fulfilling its mandate. Reese believes the Mayor's Administration may be willing to support adding
at-large membership to the BAB's structure.
Falk moved for adjournment. Manthei seconded. The meeting was adjourned.
