RESOLUTION NO.��� 1
• RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FINDINGS OF FACT
THAT ZONING REGULATIONS OF SEXUALLY ORIENTED
BUSINESSES ARE NECESSARY TO MINIMIZE THE
SECONDARY ADVERSE EFFECTS OF SUCH BUSINESS
IN THE CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Oak Park Heights as follows:
LEGAL BACKGROUND
WHEREAS, the Oak Park Heights City Council has been provided with background
information on sexually oriented businesses which, in summary fashion, is as follows:
1. The United States Supreme Court in its decisions of Youna v. American Mini
Theaters. 96 S. Ct. 2440 (1976), and Citv of Renton v. Plavtime Theaters..
106 S.Ct. 925 (1986) has held that sexually oriented businesses engaged
in the offering of adult fare characterized by an emphasis on matter depicting
specified sexual activities or anatomical areas may not be completely
prohibited from doing business within cities by municipal ordinances.
2. The Supreme Court has further held that municipalities may regulate
sexually oriented businesses with lawfully enacted content - neutral time,
place and manner zoning and licensing ordinances if said regulations are
not merely a pretext for completely prohibiting within a City sexually oriented
businesses based on the content of the material being offered.
3. The Supreme Court has concluded that lawful content neutral time, place
and manner regulations may have as their focus the minimization of the
adverse secondary effects on a community generated by the location and
operation of a sexually oriented business within a community. Adverse
secondary effects are defined as:
a. Increased incidence of crime.
b. Diminution of property values within the community and especially the
values of those properties adjacent to or in close proximity to the
sexually oriented business, and
C. Increased risk for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
EXHIBIT C
FINDINGS OF FACT
WHEREAS, based on the legal background referenced herein, the Oak Park
Heights City Council hereby makes the following Findings of Fact in connection with the
regulation of sexually oriented businesses within the City:
1. That the City Council has reviewed and considered all the material and
unsworn testimony presented before it in connection with the regulation of
sexually oriented businesses within the City.
2. The City Council has reviewed and studied the "Report of the Attorney
General's Working Group on Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses ",
dated June 6, 1989 referred to hereafter as the "Report".
3. The Report considered evidence from studies conducted in Minneapolis and
St. Paul and in other cities throughout the country relating the sexually
oriented businesses.
4. The Attorney General's Report, based upon the above referenced studies
and the testimony presented to it has concluded "that sexually oriented
businesses are associated with high crime rates and depression of property
• values ". In addition, the Attorney General's Work Group "... heard testimony
that the character of a neighborhood can dramatically change when there is
a concentration of sexually oriented businesses adjacent to residential
property ".
5. The Report concludes that sexually oriented businesses have an impact on
the neighborhoods surrounding them which is distinct from the impact ,
caused by other commercial uses.
6. The Report concludes that residential neighborhoods located within close
proximity to adult theaters, book stores, and other sexually oriented
businesses experience increased crime rates (sex - related crimes in
particular), lowered property values, increased transiency, and decreased
stability of ownership.
7. The Report concludes the adverse impacts which sexually oriented
businesses have on surrounding areas diminish as the distance from the
sexually oriented businesses increases.
i
2
8. The Report concludes that studies of other cities have shown that among the
• crimes which tend to increase either within or in the near vicinity of sexually
oriented businesses are rapes, prostitution, child molestation, indecent
exposure, and other lewd and lascivious behavior.
9. The Report concludes that the Phoenix, Arizona study confirmed that the sex
crime rate was on the average 500 percent higher in areas with sexually
oriented businesses.
10. The Report concludes that many members of the public perceive areas
within which sexually oriented businesses are located as less safe than
other areas which do not have such uses.
11. The Report concludes that many studies of other cities have shown that the
values of both commercial and residential properties either are diminished
or fail to appreciate at the rate of other comparable properties when located
in proximity to sexually oriented businesses.
12. The Report concludes that the Indianapolis, Indiana study established that
professional real estate appraisers believe that an adult book store would
have a negative effect on the value of both residential and commercial
properties within a one to three block area of the store.
f
13. The City Council finds the suburban characteristics of Oak Park Heights are
similar to those of the cities cited by the Reports when considering the
effects of sexually oriented businesses and that the findings concerning the
effects of sexually oriented businesses in other cities documented in the
Reports are relevant to Oak Park Heights circumstances.
14. The City Council finds, based upon the Report and the studies cited herein,
that sexually oriented businesses will have adverse secondary effects upon
certain pre- existing land uses within the City of Oak Park Heights and that
in reliance on the data and conclusions made by the studies documented in
the Report, it is not necessary for Oak Park Heights to conduct it own
independent study concerning the effects of sexually oriented businesses
locating within the City.
15. The City of Oak Park Heights is currently in need of updating ordinance
regulating the location of sexually oriented businesses within the City.
ri
16. Pursuant to the United States Supreme Court case of Citv of Renton v.
• Plavtime Theaters. Inc., 106 S.Ct. 925 (1988), and others, it is clear that a
permanent total prohibition against sexualjW oriented businesses would be
unconstitutional.
17. The City Council finds that the location of sexually oriented businesses
within the City of Oak Park Heights will have a detrimental effect on the City
by unnecessarily lowering property values within the City if said
establishments were located in inappropriate areas.
18. The City Council finds there will be increased crime within the City from
inadequate regulations of sexually oriented businesses location and
operating within the City.
19. The City Council finds that content - neutral time, place and manner
restrictions that regulate the zoning of sexually oriented businesses are
necessary in the City of Oak Park Heights to minimize the adverse
secondary effects which will accompany the location and operation of said
businesses within the City but that said regulations should be drafted in such
a manner as to allow for reasonable opportunity to open and operate
sexually oriented businesses within the City while minimizing the secondary
adverse effects.
RECOMMENDATION
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby recommends the
establishment of zoning controls which will serve to minimize the adverse secondary
effects of sexually oriented businesses while providing said businesses a reasonable ,
opportunity to locate and operate within the City of Oak Park Heights.

Dear Mike,
I have reviewed the memo prepared by Janet Robert regarding the landscaping
enhancements at the scenic overlook and would like to confirm Mn/DOT's response to
each point.
1. Mn/DOT will retain ownership of the overlook.
2. In the area marked as Item 9 Mn/DOT maintenance workers will remove all woody
growth except sumac trees. Additional sumac tree planting will occur under contract
when the rehabilitation of the scenic overlook occurs.
3. In the center island the Mn/DOT contract will remove all crabapple trees. A garden
area will be created that is approximately 1/3 the diameter of the island, planted with
"Nearly Wild" roses, mulched and permanent edging will be used. The City's garden
club commits to maintaining the bed.
4. In the area marked as Item 6 Mn/DOT maintenance workers will remove the
easternmost cedar tree, grind the stump and resod. The lower branches on the two
remaining cedars will be pruned to remove dead branches and branches that obstruct
the view to the North (approximately 10 feet up from the ground).
5. In the area marked as Item 4 the goal is to open views to the North. The exact area
will be determined on -site with advice of the Mn/DOT forester. In general Mn/DOT
maintenance workers will remove the large elm tree and any other scrub trees that are
obstructing the view in this area.
6. Mn/DOT maintenance forces will continue as it has in the past cutting trees to the east
of the overlook that would obstruct views of the river.
7. Mn/DOT and the City will continue to negotiate the selective removal of trees to the
south of the overlook to improve views of the river from Lookout trail and attempt to
reach an agreement under Mn/DOT's partnership program.

1, and adoption of the proposed development program and tax
increment financing plan relating thereto, including, but not
limited to, notification of Washington County and Independent
• School District No. 834 having taxing jurisdiction over the
property to be included in Housing Tax Increment Financing
318663.1
t,
District No. 1 and the holding of a public hearing upon published
and mailed notice as required by law; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of
the City of Oak Park Heights as follows:
1. Development District No. 1,. There is hereby
established in the City of Oak Park Heights Development District
No. 1, the initial boundaries of which are fixed and determined
as described in the Development Program.
2. Development Program,. The development program for
Development District No. 1, a copy of which is on file in the
office of the City Administrator, is adopted as the Development
Program for Development District No. 1.
3. Housina Tax Increment Financinq District No. 1,.
There is established in the City of Oak Park Heights within
Development District No. 1 a tax increment financing district,
the initial boundaries of which are fixed and determined as
described in the Tax Increment Financing Plan.
4. Tax Increment Financina Plan,. The Tax Increment
Financing Plan is adopted as the tax increment financing plan for
Housing Tax Increment Financing District No. 1, and the City
Council makes the following findings:
• (a) Housing Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 is
a housing district as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174, Subd. 11, the specific basis for such determination
being that the 76 unit multifamily rental housing development to
be undertaken by Anchobaypro, Inc. consists of a project, or a
portion of a project, intended for occupancy, in part, by persons
or families of low and moderate income, as defined in chapter
462A, Title II of the National Housing Act of 1934, the National
Housing Act of 1959, the United States Housing Act of 1937, as
amended, Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, any
other similar present or future federal, state, or municipal
legislation, or the regulations promulgated under any of those
acts.
(b) The proposed redevelopment in the opinion of the
City Council, would not occur solely through private investment
within the reasonably foreseeable future and therefore the use of
tax increment financing is deemed necessary.
The reasons supporting this finding are that:
Anchobaypro, Inc. has represented to the City that
it would not undertake the project in Oak Park
Heights without the City's use of tax increment
financing. Private investment will not finance
• these development activities because of
prohibitive costs. It is necessary to finance
318663.1 2
these development activities through the use of
• tax increment financing so that other development
by private enterprise will occur within
Development District No. 1.
(c) The Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1 conforms to the general plan
for development or redevelopment of the City of Oak Park Heights
as a whole.
The reasons for supporting this finding are that:
(i) Housing Tax Increment Financing District No.
1 is properly zoned; and
(ii) The Tax Increment Financing Plan will
generally compliment and serve to implement
policies adopted in the City's comprehensive
plan.
(d) The Tax Increment Financing Plan will afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City
of Oak Park Heights as a whole, for the development or
redevelopment of Development District No. 1 by private
enterprise.
. The reasons supporting this finding are that:
The development activities are necessary so that
development and redevelopment by private enterprise can
occur within Development District No. 1.
5. Public Purpose. The adoption of the Development
Program for Development District No. 1, and the adoption of the
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1 conform in all respects to the requirements of the
Act and will help fulfill a need to develop an area of the State
which is already built up to provide employment opportunities to
improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the
State and thereby serves a public purpose.
6. Certification. The Auditor of Washington County
is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of Housing
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 as described in Tax
Increment Financing Plan, and to certify in each year thereafter
the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased
or decreased in accordance with the Act; and the City
Administrator is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit
this request to the County Auditor in such form and content as
the Auditor may specify, together with a list of all properties
within Housing Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 for which
building permits have been issued during the 18 months
• immediately preceding the adoption of this Resolution.
318663.1 3
7. Filinq. The City Administrator is further
• authorized and directed to file a copy of the Development Program
and Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1 with the Commissioner of Revenue.
8. Administration. The administration of Development
District No. 1 is assigned to the City Administrator who shall
from time to time be granted such powers and duties pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.130 and 469.131 as the City
Council may deem appropriate.

Dear Mr. Robertson:
This letter s.-r;es to formalize a number of phone and meeting discussions we have had over the last fc•
months concerning the proposed city street across the NSP property.
We have been considering all the options for the construction of this city street. As you know we
previously agreed to finance the construction of this street with the city performing the design and
construction. Now that more detailed construction timing and staging information is available we have
concern over our earlier decision. MrYDOT believes it would be best for us to build the street for the City
as part of our major project.
When we met to discuss TH 36 issues on November 14, you asked that Mn/DOT consider a redesign of the
South Frontage Road from Osgood Avenue to Club Tara as well. The typical section of the roadway you
requested is two 14 foot lanes, curb and gutter, and a separated bike trail. We have evaluated the
feasibility of this change and determined that we can do it. This now provides the opportunity for a
consistent road section between Osgood Avenue and 59th Street.
Mn/DOT will include this entire roadway in our plans and construct the street to the width requested by the
city. However, the location of the trail will differ slightly in order to avoid taking additional right-of-way.
The trail will be located immediately behind the curb with no additional berming. In recognition that this
road is being built for local access needs, we will need the City of Oak Park Heights to agree to ownership
and maintenance of the street once construction is complete. We believe this is a win-win agreement for the
City of Oak Park Heights and Mn/DOT. The costs of constructing this street will be paid by Mn/DOT.
Please reply back to me with your reaction to this proposal. YJc-)&L11 need a resolution from the council
requesting that we bu-'.- the street across the NSP property, along with an agreement too own and maLritain
the entire street from Osgood Avenue to 59th Street.
Sincerely,
P,
