A CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION AGENDA REPORT
DATE: March 3, 2021 1
DEPARTMENT: ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Prepared by: Ryan Garcia, Director of Economic & Community Development
ADMINISTRATOR: JRH
AGENDA ITEM: Industrial Development Update and Strategy
DESIRED OUTCOMES:
• Discuss status of Industrial Land Market in South St. Paul
• Review Existing EDA/City-owned properties
• Identify how (or if) to pursue positioning sites for future industrial development.
OVERVIEW:
The success of the City’s Redevelopment Program over the past 30 years has been nothing short
of remarkable. Led by the South St. Paul HRA, the former Armour & Co. Meatpacking Plant and
Union Stockyards have turned over to become a thriving, dynamic, diverse and attractive light
industrial park. As we have discussed in recent months, development interest in the last two,
relatively small, vacant industrial sites in Bridgepoint has matured to the point that it is quite
likely that by the end of 2021, there will not be a vacant buildable parcel in the I-1 Light
Industrial Zoning District.
While this is absolutely something our community should be proud of, this situation also places
us at a critical juncture in our community’s history. Precisely, does the City Council feel it is in
the City’s best interest to identify areas within the City that may be underutilized today for future
industrial development? Staff couches Monday’s worksession discussion in the fact that there are
a number of (longtime) South St. Paul-based businesses that have legitimate aspirations for
growth and physical expansion, in most cases without the land capacity – or zoning framework -
to accommodate any such expansion. As these situations unfold, Staff believes it is timely to
engage the Council in a discussion about whether and where we might build additional capacity
for industrial development.
CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Staff hopes that we can engage in discussion and come to consensus around three critical
questions at Monday’s worksession:
1. There are several existing SSP businesses (generally, “industrial” in nature) that have
legitimate (physical) growth aspirations and have effectively outgrown their existing
space. Should it be a priority to attempt to retain these businesses?
2. The City is essentially out of industrially-zoned vacant land. Should it be a priority to
identify additional lands within the City where industrial development should occur?
3. The City has designated much of the underutilized Concord Street Corridor as “Mixed-
Use” through the Comp Plan and Zoning, which is in conflict with many existing uses.
Recent studies would indicate that this vision continues to resonate with the Community.
How do we best advance this vision for key areas that are currently occupied with viable,
vital businesses?
OVERVIEW/BRIEF ANALYSIS OF PUBLICLY-OWNED PROPERTIES IN SSP:
Between the City, the EDA, and the HRA, almost 600 individual parcels of land, totaling 608
Acres, are in public ownership in South St. Paul. A significant majority of these parcels are
either formal or effectively used as recreational/open space and/or long-ago platted lots that lie in
unbuildable bluffs and ravines. Nonetheless, there is a great deal of publicly-owned property that
has at least some legitimate development potential. For purposes of Monday’s discussion, Staff
will focus only on those areas “down the hill”, as we really don’t see a scenario whereby
industrial development would make any sense within the more traditionally
residential/neighborhood commercial areas of the town “up the hill”. Depicted in the map below,
Staff identifies the following areas for potential consideration in the context of this discussion:
A. “Armour Gate” site (~4
Acres)
B. South Concord Exchange
(Scattered sites, between 0.5 –
1.5 acres each)
C. Bridgepoint
Drive/Bridgepoint Court (2 sites,
~3 acres total)
D. Hardman Triangle (~ 10
Contiguous Acres)
E. North Concord – minor
concentration around
Bryant/Concord (all less than 1
acre)
F. “Port Crosby” / Southport (~
9 contiguous acres)
Generally speaking, there
continues to be velocity in the
Industrial development market
for two distinct layouts.
First, there is constant interest in
relatively small-format (15,000 –
30,000 SF) owner-occupied
space (including existing SSP
businesses). These setups
generally require between 1.5 – 3 acres, a 75% / 25% split of warehouse/shop to office, highway
proximity, drive-in doors, parking, and in some cases a bit of exterior storage. These smaller
sites/buildings are much more difficult to finance and thus are generally pulled together by
working directly with a specific owner that has some motivation to be in the community.
Developers (generally speaking) are not speculatively building these smaller formats.
The other format that continues to perform regionally is the larger (minimum 80,000 SF up to
several hundred thousand SF) spec or build-to-suit industrial space which typically does involve
working with a developer (rather than the individual small business owner). These setups
typically want 10 acres at a minimum and today (and going forward) the industry standard is to
accommodate distribution-size vehicles: docks, truck courts, plenty of parking (fleet and
employee). They also want at least 24’ – 26’ clear height (and beyond), some amenity/flex space
in addition to standard office/warehouse, easy access to the freeway network, transit, and access
to workforce. Unfortunately, South St. Paul is more or less unable to capture either of these
active markets now, and won’t be able to capture them going forward unless additional land is
planned for and opened up for these types of uses.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION:
Generally speaking, the publicly-owned sites introduced above are only potentially in play for
the smaller-format user type as summarized in the previous paragraph; there probably isn’t a site
under EDA/City control today that is large enough to accommodate the bigger boxes. Thus, our
focus on Monday will be on whether and how we can build any capacity for smaller users, even
potentially existing SSP-based businesses who may be poised to outgrow their current facility, or
whose sites otherwise “don’t work” well for them or the City. Staff will be prepared to discuss,
at a high level at least, how we might proceed in the future to try and identify larger sites (to
accommodate the larger-scale developments). While there aren’t sites currently under our
control, we should keep our eye on opportunities to help private landowners position their sites
for this development when the opportunity arises.

ADMINISTRATOR: JRH
AGENDA ITEM: Parking Easement – 351 15th Avenue N.
DESIRED MEETING OUTCOMES: INPUT FROM COUNCIL ON RELEASING THE EASEMENT
OVERVIEW:
In 2007, the City reimbursed the former owner of 351-15th Avenue North in the amount of
$2,760 for the construction of four (4) off-street parking along 15th Avenue N., conditioned on a
signed parking easement. The parking spaces were then considered public. The council memo
and signed easement are attached to this report. Staff has received a request from the current
owner to allow them to utilize the spaces for their building. Currently 351-15th Avenue has no
parking available on their property (see attached map).
The current property owner has indicated that they would be willing to reimburse the City for the
easement if the City will consider releasing the easement. Staff feels that this is an acceptable
solution for the following reasons:
• The easement agreement grants the City (Grantee) the right to “maintain and repair said
easements and rights of way as the Grantee may deem fit…”. Currently the City does not
provide any maintenance of the parking spaces and does not plow the spaces.
• 15th Avenue North is a Dakota County roadway. The easement is a 10’ strip along the
west side of the right of way, so approximately ½ of each parking space is in the
easement and the rest in County right of way.
• There is an adequate number of off-street parking in the area.
• The owner would consider signing the spaces to allow for after-hour parking for the
public.
If the Council would like to release the easement to the property owner in exchange for
reimbursement of the easement purchase, staff could schedule this item on the next council
agenda.

A enda Item: Request for Dr. Ostrosky Regardin Parkin Area
Action to be considered:
h
Motion to approve the request of Dr. Ostrosky at 351- 15` Avenue North and reimburse$ 2 7(00. for
the construction of the off-street public parking area, conditioned on a signed parking easement.
Overview:
15th
As part of the CDA senior Avenue by Luther Memorial Church, the parking
housing project on
arrangement between the Church and Dr. Ostrosky' s dental office had to be discontinued. This left
the dentist office without a convenient parking area other than on- street parking.
The City worked with the dentist office, the cleaners, and the CDA to facilitate a mutually agreeable
solution to this issue. However, the parties were unable to agree on a solution. The cleaners were
uneasy about granting an easement across their property for utilities or parking. This failed attempted
resulted in the dentist office contracting directly with the senior housing' s contractor to extend the
existing off-street parking bays, such that there would be parking directly in front of the dentist' s
office.
h
In 1986 when 15` Avenue was reconstructed, the parking bays were redone at City expense.
However, when the bays were originally built in the 1960' s ( estimated) it is believed that the church
paid for the improvement.
Dr. Ostrosky is requesting that the City consider reimbursement of the expenses associated with the
extension of the parking bay in front of their office. The costs are $ 4700. If the City were to consider
a reimbursement of these costs, the City should require a dedicated parking easement over that area
that is outside of the public right- of-way. A 10- foot easement over the eastern border of the dentist' s
office would be needed to cover the parking area. The sidewalk would not be a public sidewalk but
had to be removed and replaced to accommodate the parking bay.
In the opinion of the staff, the City should consider at least some financial participation in the parking
bay construction. The level of participation is at the discretion of the City Council.

Attention: City Engineer
Dear Mr. Sachi,
I am writing in regards to the new curbing and street replacement at 351 15th Ave North.
It is my understanding that the city had offered funds toward our cost in these repairs due
to the new construction of the Senior Housing.
As you know that with this new construction we had lost our patient parking. Then with
the denial of access to the rear of our property by the City of South St. Paul ( CBS
Construction would not accommodate) we were forced to reconstruct the front of our
building.
Enclosed is a copy of the bill from CBS Construction. Your cooperation in this matter is
greatly appreciated and I look forward to a positive resolution.
Sincerely,
ith F. Ostrosky DDS

A COUNCIL WORKSESSION REPORT
DATE: MARCH 8, 2021 4
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION
Prepared By: Joel Hanson, City Administrator
ADMINISTRATOR: JRH
AGENDA ITEM: City Hall & Public Works Building Upgrades
DESIRED MEETING OUTCOMES:
Discuss the building deficiencies at City Hall and Public Works, talk about options to resolve
them, and provide direction for further action.
OVERVIEW:
On December 9th, 2019, Wold Architects conducted a tour of Public Works and City Hall to
review deficiencies/building upgrades at each facility. Here are the key points of that review:
Public Works:
• Overhead doors are nearing end of their useful life. They are also only 12’ wide which
is a tight entry for snowplows.
• No locker or restroom facilities for female employees.
• A number of HVAC deficiencies exist.
• Electrical service is maxed out.
• No backup generator capability.
• Lighting at end of useful life and obviously not LED.
• A number of ADA deficiencies.
• Interior doors need replacing.
• Floor & wall finishes need attention.
• No fire suppression system.
• Pavement needs replacing.
• Property is not protected by the levee.
A more detailed listing prepared by Wold Architects is attached to this memo. In their analysis,
it is estimated that over $4 million would be needed to address the identified issues. In the report
they provide in 2019, the estimated the cost of a new, 75,000 square foot facility at about $23
million. The current building is about 33,000 square feet and valued at just under $1.3 million
according to Dakota County. While these are very preliminary numbers and we can debate
needs and size estimates, the key question is what level of investment in the existing building
makes sense over the long-term?
City Hall:
The areas of concern with City Hall can be focused on the lack of adequate space in the
Police Department, the segregation of work areas (departments) due to the building layout, and
the need to create a “one-stop service” experience for the public.
For the Police Department, twenty-four officers currently share six cubicles within a 500
square foot area. The cubicles were purchased used in 2007 and need to be replaced. $100,000
is currently budgeted for this purchase that also includes four cubes for the sergeant’s office area.
A concept developed in conjunction with Wold is to convert Chief Messerich’s and Commander
Wicke’s office areas into patrol/CSO workspace to provide additional square footage while
moving the Chief and Commander to the former officer space after remodeling.
For City Offices, significant remodeling was done in 2007 to upgrade the building. What
that work did not address is the limited interaction opportunities provided to staff due to
segregation of office areas. This proves counterproductive in establishing a “team” environment.
The other challenge the building poses is providing efficient services to the public. Staff
feels a “one-stop” service area would be more efficient for both the public and staff. We began
moving in that direction in late 2019 by moving the City Clerk’s staff downstairs to eliminate the
public having to go to the 2nd floor for election services as well as many day-to-day needs such
as building permits, rental licenses, etc. While this move improved the situation in some
respects, the counter and workspace areas need further modifications. We could also explore
bringing additional staff downstairs but remodeling of office areas would be needed to create
efficient work/service areas.
Additionally, with departmental staffing and structure changes combined with the lack of
space due to current office configurations, there are staff members that are not housed in the
same area as the rest of their department staff. This does not allow for appropriate team
communication and collaboration. The current office area of the Finance/Administration area
also does not allow for staff to maintain proper social distancing.
The 2019 Wold Report is attached that focuses on various changes over various timelines
depending on what we ultimately want to accomplish. Again, the question must be asked is what
investment in the current building makes sense when one considers the long-term needs of the
community.
