President Kathy Lantry, Councilmember Dave Thune and Councilmember Russ Stark Present 7 - 16 RES 10-1120 Authorizing Right-of-Way Maintenance for 2011. Attachments: 2011 Right of
Way Scope of Work - Revised 10-27-10.pdf Public Works Director Rich Lallier gave a brief staff report. He reviewed efficiencies that had been instituted and said the only rate increase
was a 2% increase related to the loss of a state grant for the Emerald Ash Borer. He asked that the rates be adopted. Council President Lantry explained that Items 16, 17, 18, 19
and 20 would be laid over to December 15. The following appeared to testify: Matt Anfang, St. Paul Business Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), said that as part of the 2012 budget
process, BOMA would like to continue the conversation with Public Works about partnering with thhe City on building maintenance, keeping end-of-year surpluses in the class from which
they were collected, and justifying cost increases by class. He expressed appreciation for Public Works' cooperation, especially Rich Lallier and John Maczko. Wa Xiong spoke on behalf
of Ying Yang, property owner at 1985 Idaho. Long Vee provided Hmong interpretation. Mr. Xiong said Ms. Yang's property value had dropped since she bought the home but she continued
to pay the same property tax rate. He said Ms. Yang was a single mother struggling to support her family and put a child through college, and he asked that the Council be mindful
of situations such as Ms. Yang's. Mike Schumann, Traditions Classic Home Furnishings at Grand and Oxford, reiterated his concerns (from the October 6 public hearing on the ratification
of the ROW maintenance program) about the inequity and inconsistencies in assessments for commercial property owners on corner lots. He proposed that the City change the rules so
that commerccial properties are assessed the same way residential properties are. Tony Voh, representing the business owner at 542 Stryker Avenue, said he'd been astounded when he'd
learned recently of the method for calcualting ROW charges for commercial properties on corner lots, and said he would like to see a change to a more equitable system. Lynn Birawer,
owner of an fourplex on a corner lot, asked for a more equitable system, and said if the City was going to charge the rates it did, it should perform the ROW maintenance work. Council
President Lantry said 2011 rates would be ratified in October 2012, and there was a commitment from OFS to do a study and report back to the Council in the meantime on options for
assessing ROW charges. Councilmember Stark moved to close the public hearing and lay the matter over to City of Saint Paul Page 6

of maintaining the infrastructure and providing high quality water, and charge for additional usage. Public hearing held and closed; laid over to December 15 Yea: Councilmember Bostrom,

gave a staff report. She said in 2006 the applicant had obtained a reestablishment of nonconforming use permit for a pet grooming business, and subsequently had applied to add dog
daycare and boarding to the business. The staff recommendation was to deny the request, City of Saint Paul Page 11
City Council Minutes - Final November 3, 2010 District 9 did not make a recommendation, the Zoning Committee recommended denial on a vote of 4 to 1, and the Planning Commission recommended
denial on a vote of 13 to 3. Jane Prince (111 E. Kellogg Boulevard, Suite 300) appeared representing the appellant. She distributed packets including her legal memo and a petition
of support. She asked that appeal be granted for the following reasons: 70% of the neighbors had signed the zoning petition to allow Ms. Belisle to operate her grooming and boarding
business at the present location; the nonconforming use permit in 2006 was for the same boarding and grooming business; and the zoning code was silent on the issue. Ms. Prince said
the Planning Commission erred by basing its denial on the staff recommendation requiring that the applicant apply for a new zoning permit; she said the 2006 nonconforming use permit
was legally sufficient. She said boarding and daycare met the zoning requirement for an acccessory use, and were not more intensive than grooming. She said the Planning Commission
also erred by basing its denial on two staff reports in which staff did not know whether the manner in which the applicant was running her business required a change or expansion of
its nonconforming use. She said the Planning Commission also erred in basing its denial on staff reports that included incomplete, incorrect or misleading statements of fact. She
noted that the Ramsey County Animal Control and Humane Society facilities were both in residential areas. She said the applicants business met all state requirements for animal handling.
She reviewed procedural errors which she believed provided grounds for automatically overturning the Planning Commission decision. Sandra Belisle (360 Clifton Street), business owner,
said Council's decision was critical to the survival of her business, which had paid taxes and employed people since 1976. Hilary Major (364 Clinton Street), next-door neighbor to
thee business, expressed her support and said the business was more of an asset than a liability. She said business traffic was negligible, and Ms. Belisle and her customers were
considerate of neighbors. She said Ms. Belisle was generous with help regarding pets, and the business provided important employment opportunities, especially for first-time workers.
Mary Bett (712 Roundhill Road, Mendota Heights), long-time employee, said the business had hundreds of loyal customers. She said Ms. Belisle had served as a mentor for her in starting
her own business. David Kelly (44 Kenwood Parkway), customer, said it was important to have pet boarding businesses in St. Paul, and Ms. Belisles was a good one. Betsy Kelly (44 Kenwood
Parkway) said she would hate to see Ms. Belisle lose her business. Carol Johnson (8401 Monroe, Spring Lake Park), customer since the 70s, said there was no noticeable animal noise
at the business and Ms. Belisle was very good with the animals. Brenda Sugii (13701 Courthouse Boullevard) said Ms. Belisle had taught her to groom animals 25 years ago. She said
she had her own grooming and boarding business, and boarding was a natural extension of grooming because of the trust and confidence built. No one appeared in opposition; Councilmember
Thune moved to close the public City of Saint Paul Page 12
City Council Minutes - Final November 3, 2010 hearing. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0 Councilmember Thune said he was inclined to grant the appeal for the following reasons: The use was not
more intensive than grooming; the code was silent on boarding in 2006; and pet boarding was allowed in certain residential areas in other cities. He suggested that staff check that
out and consider adding it to St. Pauls zoning code. Councilmember Thune asked that the following conditions be imposed: The conditions from the 2006 decision remain in effect; up
to two additional employees or independent contractors may be added for the boarding and daycare business; boarding be limited to a maximum of six dogs or a number determined safe
and acceptable by animal control; all applicable statutes and licensing requirements be met; and dogs not be left unattended outdoors when the grooming business is closed. He noted
that Ms. Belisle had a pet shop license but was limited to selling one litter per year of offspring froom the owners own pets. Appeal Granted with Conditions Yea: Councilmember Bostrom,
