Unfortunately,there is not a provision under City code or authority where such timeline could be extended beyond one-year when the request is made after the expiration of such permit—again being 401.03 C.4 as enclosed. While this can be discouraging,please note that since your approvals were granted,there have not been functional alterations to the City's inning code nor comprehensive plan that would likely materially impact your re-applis n. This mems that your submission and review should proceed quickly,assuming there are no changes. The City does understand that personal issues arise in the execution of a project, however the City cannot deviate from its established process as it would establish precedence which could put the City in a problematic position should there be another applicant that missed certain deadlines and that may be controversial in some form.

As discussed we received your letter informing us that we would need to submit a new application due to the fact that a year had gone by on June 241',which was the one year time frame for submitting for a permit. As mention in our conversation we are in the final stages of financing and have been delayed for health reasons this past 6 months. We are hopeful to start construction still this fall. We have not had any changes to our plans and are not aware of any code changes or comprehensive plan changes by the city. We are asking to expedite the reinstatement of the application if at all possible. We recognize that our 1 year has expired and would like to make the process as easy for the city and ourselves as possible. Any help you could provide in accomplishing this goal would be greatly appreciated. We apologize if this has caused the city any hardship. Please let us know as soon as you can what steps we will need to take to reactivate our project. i(indly, Bill Henderson TIC Properties 1 Oak Midge Place 6060 Oxboro Avenue N. .Oak Park Heights,MN 55082 .

Community Thread was established in 1967 by individuals who recognized needs not being met by existing resources in the St. Croix Valley. Believing that volunteers could impact those needs, the founders created an organization designed to connect people and enrich lives, something we continue to do to this day. Community Thread's mission is to leverage resources and volunteers to improve the quality of life for adults and their families in our local community. We do this by providing services aimed at older adults,particularly those who desire to age in place, as well as advocating for and supporting volunteers throughout the St. Croix Valley region. Our name symbolizes our belief that each act of service is a thread that ties people, communities and lives together.

National Might out is set Tuesday, Aug 2, prompting street closures throughout St. Louis Park and many other cities as neighbors gather for parties. Although many neighbors meet in the closed streets for parties,others gather in yards,parks and other locations. Neighborhood Watch block captains organize many of the parties while neighborhood associations host larger events. Last year, St. Louis Park police officers and other city staff members attended more than 120 citywide gatherings. The St. Louis Park Police Department used the visits to heighten crime prevention awareness, generate support for anti-crime programs and strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, according to a packet police provided to party planners this year. Additionally, the police department sought to "send the message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back." '` The St. Louis Park Police Department endeavored to exceed the number of community National bight out gatherings this year. ""We celebrate National Night Out in every neighborhood in St. Louis Park,"Community Outreach Officer Erin Nordrtum said. "We are behind this and love this because it brings the neighbors out,they get to know each other,they have a buy-in to each other in keeping each other safe and keeping the community safe. They provide ,great assistance to the police officers throughout the entire year. They call us if they need us." 33 of 63 http://sailor.mnsun.com/2016/07/27/st-louis-park-will-host-more-than-120-national-night-... 7/29/2016 St. Louis Park will host more than 120 National Night Out parties I Page 2 of 4 Officers will visit parties to answer any questions neighbors might have and to alleviate any neighborhood concerns,according to the packet. Personnel from the St. Louis Park Fire Department and public works staff will also attend many of the parties. Staff from the inspections and engineering also visit parties, Nordrum said. "It's just a good way for us to get to know each other and get the people to know their neighbors,"Nordrum said. The city department's packet adds, "This a great opportunity for kids and adults alike to catch a view from the front seat of a squad car,fire truck or meet members of the many different city departments." It encourages party planners, "Let's make 2016 the most successfixl National Night Out the City of St. Louis Park has ever had!" The city suggests that party attendees gather nonperishable food, personal care items and gently used clothing for the St. Louis Park Emergency Program. The police department also recommends that party planners provide entertainment for kids,other activities and food like a barbecue,a potluck or pizza. Two of the biggest parties in town have been in the Meadowbrook Neighborhood and at Louisiana Court. The Louisiana Court party has included a dunk tank, cotton candy and many other attractions for kids in the neighborhood. 'This years St. Louis Park National Night Out packet stresses the police department's crackdown on graffiti. "The St. Louis Park Police Department is reminding would be taggers that sophisticated graffiti tracking system continues to be highly successful in bringing punishment to offenders and ridding the community of graffiti," the packet states. "St. Louis Park has seen dramatic decreases in the amount of graffiti in the community since it began tracking incidents in 2007. The department credits the public for its response and help reporting the graffiti as well as its custom-designed computer application that allows city departments and other agencies to track and compare data related to graffiti." Graffiti is more common when the weather is warmer,it notes. 34 of 63 http://sailor.mnsun.com/2016/07/27/st-louis-park-will-host-more-than-120-national-night-... 7/29/2016 St. Louis Park will host more than 120 National Night Out parties I Page 3 of 4 "Offenders can cause a considerable amount of damage at a significant cost to the city, schools and private residents," said St. Louis Park Police Department Lt. Lori Dreier in the packet. "We want to send the message that this won't be tolerated in the city." Taggers often create graffiti to achieve notoriety, defy authority, for excitement and as a form of play, according to Dreier. She added that it all should be taken seriously, though,and residents should report it to authorities. St. Louis Park is offering a reward of up to $250 for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of an individual or individuals responsible for graffiti or vandalism. To report such incidents, call the St. Louis Park Crime Tip Line at 952-924- 2165. The police department also drew attention to a city ordinance that requires all solicitors, including those representing nonprofit organizations, to register with the city.They must display a city-issued photo ID. The ordinance exempts St. Louis Park residents who are canvassing their own neighborhoods for contributions or support for any charitable, religious, civic, educational, philanthropic, social service or welfare organization,the packet notes. Solicitors cannot approach property with signs that state "No Solicitors." The city provides such signs at City Hall, 5005 Minnetonka Blvd., and on the city's website, stloulspark-org. Residents can report solicitors who they suspect are not legitimate or who are behaving aggressively by calling 952-924-2618 or 911. The packet adds, "If you feel uncomfortable opening your door to a solicitor for any reason, DON'M The packet also includes tips to prevent theft from automobiles and burglaries. The police department notes that aggressive panhandling is illegal and that residents cati call 911 to report threatening behavior. The department advises that residents shou not feel ashamed for not giving directly to a panhandler and suggests donating to St. Stephen's Human Services or STEP instead. The complete packet is available on the city's website at stlouispark.org. Questions may be directed to the St. Louis Park Police Department Community Outreach Division at 952-924-2661 or police@stlouisparkorg. Events take place nationally and beyond National Night Out takes place annually across the country on the first Tuesday of August, although Texas and a few other locations celebrate in October instead.. 35 of 63 http://sailor.mnsun.com/2016/07/27/st-louis-park-will-host-more-than-120-national-night-... 7/29/2016 St.Louis Park will host more than 120 National Night Out parties I Page 4 of 4 Thousands of communities in 50 states, United States territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide participate, according to the National Association of Town Watch. The Pennsylvania-based group organizes National Night Out, although many cities branched off several years ago to celebrate an alternative Night to Unite amid financial controversy regarding the National Association of Town Watch. Critics objected to compensation of more than$300,000 per year for the organization's executive director. The National Association of Town Watch's website states, "There are no financial barriers to participating in National Night Out.. That has always been our commitment, but, in today's difficult economy, its worth highlighting "We're thoughtful about how every dollar is spent, working year-round to help city governments, police departments and grassroots organizers make their National Night Out events successful and their community a safer,better place to live." This summer's event marks the 33rd anniversary of National Night Out.

I look forward to working with you this year. This year, comprehensive transportation proposals were considered but not passed. In addition, a number of transportation initiatives were included in the capital investment bill. A number of proposals were also considered and some enacted that affect local mandates as well as elections. For a second year, the Legislature considered but did not pass a comprehensive transportation funding bill. A transportation conference committee exchanged offers sporadically during the session but ultimately disagreements on revenue sources impeded legislative agreement. Key disagreements on transit funding also remained. By the session's end,talk of a comprehensive transportation bill had given way to talk of including transportation spending in the capital investment bill, and a number of initiatives were included in the capital investment bill. Funding for Southwest Light Rail(SWLRT)was a key point of contention and the Senate nacced an amendment to the capital investment bill that would have allowed the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority to increase its contribution to SWLRT in order to cover$135 million in needed funding. The Senate sent the bill back to the House but the House had adjourned sine die. SWLRT funding will be a key point in negotiations should there be a special session. Proposed legislation would have limited cities' ability to use interim ordinances for housing related activity. The proposed legislation passed to the House floor and was included in the House supplemental budget bill,but was not included in the final conference committee report. In the Senate,the bill was laid over in committee and did not meet deadline. In the House, a proposal was voted out of committee that would have placed a five year moratorium on new city initiatives to have organized solid waste collection in their communities. Metro Cities' position is that the current statute works to allow cities to decide whether organized collection is appropriate for the city. A new law addresses local processes for placing temporary healthcare homes on private property, creating a special land use permit system for these homes. The law allows for a municipality to opt out of this proposal by ordinance. Minnesota will become a Presidential primary state starting in the 2020 election. Thank you all for your commitment to continue to improve the solid policy foundation that our association has created. I look forward to working with you all and I am very confident that this work will set Metro Cities on the path to success in the 2017 Legislative Session. 47 of 63 � � LEAGUE of CONNECTING &INNOVATING j� INNESOTA SINCE 1913 CITIES Improving Service Delivery Policy Committee July 18,2016 1 Meeting 1 St. Croix Room (First Floor at League Office) Agenda 9:30 a.m. Call to order- Introduction of committee members and League staff(Chair Lauer) 9:45 a.m. Review of policy development and committee process(Ziegler) 9:50 a.m. Approve minutes from meeting on 9/14/2015 9:51 a.m. 2016 Legislative Update and Preliminary Law Summaries(IGR Staff) 10:10 a.m. Discuss staff comments of 2017 Draft Policies via Worksheet(IGR Staff) 10:40 a.m. Break 11:00 a.m. Discuss Emerging Policy Issues (Committee) Come prepared to share issues impacting your city and any speakers you may want to invite to future meetings for further discussion. 11:55 a.m. Other Business 12:00 p.m. Adjourn Online Meeting Option Policy committees will be using an online meeting tool called GoTo Meeting for members unable to attend the meeting(s) in person.
