COUNCIL BUSINESS and/or DISCUSSION ITEMS

3.1

Alexandra House Update; Services to City of Anoka, Victims of Domestic and
Sexual Violence.
Police Chief Andy Youngquist shared that Alexandra House is a local nonprofit
organization providing comprehensive services to individuals and families
impacted by domestic and sexual violence. Their services are available to
individuals throughout Anoka County, including residents of the City of Anoka.
He said the Anoka Police Department appreciates the ongoing partnership with
Alexandra House and the organization's commitment to supporting victims of
domestic and sexual violence in our community. He shared that the recent Hope
Fest event in downtown Anoka raised awareness of domestic violence.
Tina Bronson, Alexandra House, provided a presentation regarding the
organization's mission, available services, and resources they provide to
individuals and families impacted by violence. She spoke about the range of
services available in the community, including resources that assist victims with
safety planning, advocacy, shelter and housing needs, crisis support, and
connections to other community resources. She outlined their role in public
health and safety infrastructure and shared a chart that outlined their three-year
averages by community that totaled 979 participants served, 15,596 services
provided, and 1,660 helpline calls. Ms. Bronson shared statistics from Anoka
residents who used their services in 2025 that included 82 participants, 1,507

Page 4 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 2 of 12

services provided, and 269 helpline calls. She shared about their legal advocacy
services that provide support through civil and criminal court at either free or lowcost, and the importance of officers making connections in real time to assist
victims. She thanked Anoka and the other 10 Anoka County cities who help fund
their work, which were shared investments in services already being provided to
the community.
Councilmember Campbell thanked Alexandra House for their hard and important
work and for the partnerships they have created in the community.
City Manager Greg Lee said the City will be hiring a social worker for 2027, and
while all details have not been determined yet, there will definitely be a
partnership with Alexandra House.
Chief Youngquist agreed the social worker role will have a partnership once hired
and that the department will use both resources to help victims, then shared about
wearing purple and lights on October 15 to raise awareness of domestic violence.
Mayor Skogquist said the police do their jobs, but the victims need support
afterwards, and said the City tries to do what we can through other donations such
as the Round Up Program and the dispensary, and said they appreciate what
Alexandra House does for the community.
3.2

Discussion; Cannabis Dispensary Eligible Charitable Organizations for
Donations.
Enterprise Operations Director Kevin Morelli shared that the City of Anoka’s
municipally-owned and operated adult-use cannabis dispensary, the Anoka
Cannabis Company, officially opened its doors on February 5, 2026. He shared
their mission and vision statements and values and said that because all staff
members are government employees, state law prohibits them from accepting
personal tips, an otherwise common practice within the adult‑use cannabis
industry. To ensure employees still feel valued for their dedication and service,
the City implemented an alternative approach that allows customers to express
their appreciation. Tip containers were placed within the dispensary, with all
collected funds designated for donation to nonprofit organizations within the City
of Anoka and Anoka County. Up to this point, the dispensary team has chosen
nonprofit organizations to donate their tip donations to keep them within the City
and County. He outlined the beneficiaries of their program, which included
ACBC Food Shelf, Alexandra House, Anoka Animal Containment Center, Anoka
Community Mission, Balanced Veteran’s Network, and Anoka/Champlin Fire
Department Public Education Fund, and said the total donated to these groups was
$19,174.13. He said staff is looking for direction on adding more non-profit
organizations that Anoka Cannabis Company can support through tip donations
each month.

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 3 of 12

Dispensary Manager Stephanie Rietz shared about the upcoming organizations
they plan to donate to, which included Waterfowl for Warriors, Angel Tree,
ACBC Food Shelf, and Hope 4 Youth. She further shared about Angel Tree,
which is an organization that provides holiday gifts for children across the world,
and how the staff will be able to shop for the children.
Mr. Morelli shared how they want to balance benefiting youth against the reality
of the products they sell, then outlined potential future organizations that included
Stepping Stones Emergency Housing, Family Promise, Meals on Wheels, Family
Wise, Hovland Conservatory of Music, Anoka Community Concerts Association,
Rum River Arts Center, Anoka Pride, and various veterans’ organizations.
Jenny Grusel, Lead Budtender, shared more about the Family Promise
organization that helped find housing for people in need. She said they opened in
2010 and have helped over 200 families to achieve housing stability.
Nate Cline, Budtender, shared about the Hovland Conservatory of Music, which
has dozens of locations across the country, with one in Anoka, and how they offer
piano and violin instruction to students; then he commented on how music helps
everyone.
Marcus Stockinger, Budtender, shared about the Anoka Community Concerts
Association, which is a non-profit volunteer association mostly out of Anoka
High School and brings music events to the community, and their goal to grow
the band offerings for bigger concerts.
Mr. Morelli shared further about other ways staff was exploring to use the
community’s tips, which included concerts, art, and paying utility bills for
families in need. He said these contributions strengthen programs that serve
residents and enhance the community’s quality of life.
Councilmember Rostad said she never envisioned how tips would be part of a
plan to give back to the community and said it is great how the team has
developed and grown this program and is a testament to Mr. Morelli’s leadership.
She said the dispensary will have donated almost $30,000 by year-end and noted
it won’t even be a full calendar year, which is impressive.
Mr. Morelli shared that this program is the favorite part of the dispensary to him,
adding he didn’t realize it would be as successful either, which is great.
Mr. Stockinger shared how he has worked all over the country in this business,
but being able to give back to the City feels good and helps the community. He
said the public knows their community will be better in the future and typically
donates more once they learn who the designated organization is by signage near
the tip jar.

Page 6 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 4 of 12

Ms. Rietz shared how the rest of the country doesn’t have city-owned dispensaries
and how unique this concept is, and when shared with others, they wish this
program would be modeled in other places.
Mayor Skogquist noted Councilmember Campbell had chaired Family Promise in
the past.
Councilmember Scott said he appreciated the information on the other
organizations and stressed the need to thoroughly vet all organizations before
selection to ensure donations are going to the right place and purpose. He said we
are setting an expectation and that people are donating in good faith, then spoke
about future organization candidates and the importance of social justice at the
State level and how Anoka is taking this to the next level and using tips for good
in the community. He said all our profits go to the community, including tips, and
no other dispensary coming to Anoka will be doing this.
Mayor Skogquist referred to the donation policy that was revised in 2023 and felt
this practice fits very well with that, then shared the definition that the
organization has to serve here. He reviewed the process for an eligible
organization, then recommended it to the City Manager for final approval. He
said the only part he questioned was the criteria that the organization has to be
from Anoka and adjacent to Anoka, and thought that may need to be amended for
organizations such as Alexandra House, which is located in Blaine, and that we
use this policy as a guide for the dispensary.
Mr. Lee agreed the policy could be updated and would like to work with staff to
forecast donations for the next four months so Council is aware of the potential
for the next calendar year, which can then be communicated to the community so
they are aware of each organization as well. Mayor Skogquist agreed with that
approach as long as we have guidelines.
Council consensus was to operate under the current donation policy and consider
possible amendments as needed.
3.3

Discussion: Murals Ordinance.
Senior City Planner Clark Palmer shared a background report stating the City
Council directed staff to begin the process of developing an ordinance that
establishes a review and permitting process for the painting of murals on
buildings. He outlined the purpose and intent of the ordinance, provided
definitions, identified zoning districts where murals will be allowed, and
described permitting requirements and standards. He said the intent of the
ordinance was to regulate the location, construction, and manner of display of
murals; to preserve the aesthetic appeal of the City; and to promote appropriate
visual expression by defining what constitutes a mural. Mr. Palmer said to achieve
this purpose, staff drafted objectives which included encouraging the design and

Page 7 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 5 of 12

placement of private murals for public display that promote or enhance the
character of the City; differentiating between signs, graffiti, and murals; and
preventing visual expressions that may be offensive, political in nature, or
derogatory. He reviewed proposed definitions, locations, permitting, and
standards for murals in detail, then asked for Council feedback regarding the
definition of wall or wall panels and painting of walls.
Ashley Dahl, Anoka, spoke about other small businesses interested in murals and
regarding painted brick then shared about larger-scale project requests that usually
involve the entire wall.
Mr. Palmer said what is or is not allowed will affect the definition, then spoke
about locations and proposed zoning districts, then asked for Council feedback.
Councilmember Scott said he was open to placing a mural on the former Public
Works building. Mr. Palmer suggested adding institutional uses within residential
districts as a possibility.
Mayor Skogquist said he didn’t think we had to be restrictive on each commercial
zone and thought all could qualify. Mr. Palmer confirmed murals should be
allowed in commercial districts and institutional uses within residential districts.
Councilmember Campbell agreed murals would work within institutional
districts.
Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) Chair Barb Thurston asked about the
silo and what that zoning district was. Mr. Palmer responded that the silo was
located in a B-3 zoning district, so if murals were added to commercial districts,
that would be covered; then he reviewed the standards in detail and asked for
feedback.
Councilmember Scott said the southeast corner of 2nd Avenue and Jackson Street
was open front and corner, and asked if that was a two-corner building. He asked
if a survey was conducted asking for thoughts from the community on what that
would look like.
Councilmember Rostad said it would be important that any murals were
maintained well and whether that enforcement would be done by a City inspector.
Mr. Palmer said maintenance would be reviewed as part of the permitting process
and that staff would work on further refining maintenance of murals.
Councilmember Weaver said murals were not signage as defined by City code
and shared concerns that they could result in nothing more than signs. Mr. Palmer
said there were two types of murals proposed: one art only and the other with very
limited reference to products or services, then shared examples of current murals

Page 8 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 6 of 12

in Anoka and said the Lyric Arts mural would be considered a sign, as well as
Serum’s, which would likely not apply if being proposed today.
Joelle Alvord, Anoka, asked if flags or graffiti fall under this ordinance proposal,
such as the blue flag supporting police. Mr. Palmer said that example would be
regulated as signage and that this ordinance was focused only on murals as art,
adding a painted flag as part of a mural would be included.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Commissioner Marissa Carroll
asked if the City was considering a loan program as part of this ordinance and
asked if the ordinance could be adopted in time for murals to be painted next
spring, then suggested grandfathering in any current murals. Mr. Palmer outlined
the process, which would include the Planning Commission and then two readings
by the Council, so adoption would likely be in November with any current murals
grandfathered in.
Mayor Skogquist agreed that murals should not be painted on unpainted brick and
EIFS materials as well.
Councilmember Scott referred to obscene and offensive content and how
subjective that can be and asked if we may be overregulating because what’s
acceptable today may not be acceptable in the future.
Councilmember Campbell suggested placing limits on the name of a business at
no more than a specific wall percentage. Mr. Palmer agreed, stating that would be
similar to the sign ordinance and suggested limiting the size of the mural on the
wall itself.
Mayor Skogquist suggested mirroring the mural ordinance to the sign ordinance
instead so it doesn’t result in having two different sets of rules.
Councilmember Weaver said he supported the mural at Serum’s but had concerns
about the actual name size, adding that we can see signs on buildings from over a
hundred years ago and that soon walls could be advertising for other businesses.
Mr. Palmer cautioned about balancing signage square footage and a mural, then
said the sign code included an appropriate allowance and that we shouldn’t have
the mural dominate the wall. Mayor Skogquist agreed, then referred to the old
tobacco or Jackson Hotel ads that were paid advertisements and looked at it as
more historical and suggested reviewing this first with the City Attorney to ensure
enforceability.
Councilmember Weaver referred to the tunnel murals, which were creative, but
said when one is added that is offensive, it will be hard to roll this back. Mr.
Palmer said staff will consult the City Attorney, then shared more about the
definitions and ways to further refine to address these concerns. He reviewed
feedback on whether murals should only be allowed on the sides or rear of

Page 9 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 7 of 12

buildings, prohibited on unpainted brick facades, over unpainted brick, limiting
references to an establishment, product, or service, and restricting words,
symbols, or representations that are obscene, offensive, of a political nature, or
derogatory. He reviewed the proposed permitting process that would include
review by the Planning Commission, HPC if located in a historic district or on a
designated historic building, then consideration by Council. He said they first
considered an administrative process but thought it would be better to have
Council review rather than having staff make subjective decisions, adding that
staff didn’t expect many would be brought to Council.
Mayor Skogquist agreed that this should be similar to other processes, then asked
about the process for Federal Cartridge’s silo. Mr. Palmer reviewed the process
that granted a variance for the silo and said that wouldn’t really be considered a
mural today, then confirmed the proposed permitting process and suggested a
$100-$150 permit fee. He outlined requirements such as property owner
permission, scaled drawings, artwork statement/description, installation plan, and
proposed maintenance plan. He said after finalizing, the ordinance would go to
the Planning Commission in November, with first and second readings following.
Mayor Skogquist said this ordinance should be reviewed on two fronts, then
suggested driving around the City and reviewing existing murals and how they
would be affected first before finalizing.
Mr. Lee said many other cities allow murals and that staff can research those first
to avoid any concerns before finalizing. Mr. Palmer agreed, stating the final
review will also include how we regulate content balanced against free speech and
will discuss that further with the City Attorney.
3.4

Discussion; Residential Infill Standards.
Mr. Palmer shared a background report stating the City Council directed staff to
begin the process of developing an ordinance that establishes residential infill
standards. Staff has prepared the following zoning text for the City Council to
consider. He reviewed the purpose and intent of the ordinance, applicability, and
site development standards and said Councilmembers are encouraged to consider
additions and/or amendments to the draft text consistent with the purpose and
intent of the ordinance. Staff's goal will be to obtain feedback from the City
Council for the drafting of the ordinance. He reviewed the purpose and intent of
the ordinance, applicability, geographic scope, definitions, conflicts with other
regulations, site development standards, building height and massing,
architectural compatibility, parking and garage standards, and other concepts, then
asked for Council feedback.
Mayor Skogquist shared how there have been past discussions about established
older neighborhoods where this ordinance would have been helpful, such as the
Swede Town area, and could include language that wouldn’t allow anything to be

Page 10 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 8 of 12

constructed no more than one story taller than existing houses in the
neighborhood, adding that this ordinance may not need to be citywide but in
appropriate areas.
Councilmember Weaver agreed that this ordinance would be more appropriate in
older neighborhoods, such as building split levels in a neighborhood that doesn’t
have any, such as Harrison or Jackson/7th Avenue.
Mayor Skogquist asked if discussions were held for feedback by the Planning
Commissioner or the HPC. Planning Commissioner Peter Wright said they were
aware of the issue and had discussed this at a worksession about being cohesive
with the block or placing a garage in front near other Victorian-era homes.
Phil Rice, Anoka, suggested any ordinance be citywide and then review it block
by block.
Mr. Palmer further reviewed suggestions including front setback with an average
of plus or minus five feet between two houses and not having a house closer to the
front than necessary; then spoke about principal structures being oriented so the
front façade faces the front of the lot and not kitty-corner.
Mayor Skogquist suggested adding language that says if there are two front yards
then kitty-corner facades would be allowed.
Mr. Palmer reviewed building heights and masses and proposed language that a
house be constructed no more than one story taller than the principal structures on
the block and that a street-facing façade may not exceed a specific dimension
unless there are other architectural features such as a bay window to soften the
front.
Councilmember Scott asked how this ordinance would affect a new development
such as Rum River Shores and a rambler next to a 2.5-story house. Mr. Palmer
said staff’s intent for the ordinance would be to focus on established
neighborhoods and not new developments.
Mayor Skogquist suggested incorporating stylistic elements too and including
home types that can’t be included in a certain neighborhood, such as massing,
then spoke about setbacks relative to the neighborhood. He said he was not sure
he liked that because some are 10 feet while others are 50, so it would have to be
40 feet, and he didn’t want to be so restrictive but blended instead.
Councilmember Weaver agreed with establishing citywide standards but said the
biggest challenge was off 9th and 8th Avenues with smaller homes and one-stall
garages, which are not desirable for families as they need larger garages. He said
this should be addressed; otherwise, areas will result in rental properties like the
ones on Brisbin Avenue.

Page 11 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 9 of 12

Mr. Palmer said staff was suggesting that the primary entrance feature has to face
the front unless it is uncommon to the rest of the block to help emphasize
entrances, that flat roofs not be allowed, then spoke about roof pitches and
parking garage standards.
Councilmember Weaver asked about the flat roof definition, then referred to the
new house being built on Madison Street that wouldn’t be allowed under these
standards, and that flat roofs need to be defined. Councilmember Rostad shared
how part of her home had a flat roof and how not allowing them could be a barrier
and suggested allowing a percentage instead.
Mr. Palmer said staff could remove that language and instead say flat roofs are
not allowed if inconsistent with the neighborhood or block.
Councilmember Campbell asked about allowing vinyl in historic neighborhoods.
Mayor Skogquist said he supported removing durable materials until we fully
decide.
Mr. Rice referred to infill standards and said that we should require durable
materials on the front façade that were high quality and shouldn’t waver from
that, adding that a property owner could request a variance for alternative
materials.
Councilmember Weaver said we required high-quality materials in Rum River
Shores, so that has been done already, and agreed it would be appropriate to
require higher-quality materials, adding that property owners will see better
insurance rates and higher property values.
Mr. Palmer reviewed the parking and garage standards proposal and said the
garage can’t exceed 50% of the width, then shared an example of a home that was
too heavy in the front and had large blank walls with no window openings, then
spoke about canopy trees and landscape requirements.
A member of the audience asked about trying to build a home without a detached
garage, as elderly residents usually don’t want detached garages. Mr. Palmer said
we could consider that, in addition to the location of the garage in the front, as
well as the width and where the garage should be located.
Mayor Skogquist said allowing detached garages depends on the neighborhood,
as some garages have to be in the back, and that it would be difficult to come up
with a standard, but agreed with the garages not dominating a home.
Councilmember Weaver suggested having a narrow driveway and turning the
garage 90 degrees as a way to address this because narrow lots are challenging

Page 12 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 10 of 12

and that we need to be creative. Mr. Palmer said we could allow for a side-load
garage.
Councilmember Rostad said she liked Councilmember Weaver’s idea and
suggested creating a book for property owners to review that would include
examples and recommendations as a tool to ensure an infill home is a good fit.
Mayor Skogquist said there will be a difference between a builder/buyer versus
someone trying to design something nice that fits, and encouraged that, then said
some lots may need a variance and if that occurs then at least there can be a
discussion.
Mr. Palmer outlined next steps for possibly November Council review, adding
there is lots to consider and that these types of standards can be quite varied.
Mayor Skogquist thanked staff for the work and suggested another review occur
before formal consideration.
3.5

Discussion; City Register of Historical Properties; Amendments or Expansion.
Mr. Palmer shared an update on the Heritage Preservation Commission’s (HPC)
plan to expand the City Register. The City Register is a local historic preservation
tool that provides for the preservation of buildings, sites, and neighborhoods that
possess historical, cultural, or architectural significance to the City. City Code
defines the City Register as “a City-maintained listing of City-designated heritage
preservation districts, sites or structures.” The current City Register includes the
Historic Districts of Historic Downtown Core, Christian Hill, and Van Buren, and
locally designated structures/sites of Gidding’s Gardens at 1900 Ferry Street. Mr.
Palmer outlined the process of adding a site or structure to the City Register, then
said the background/evaluation report and findings determine if the property is
eligible for designation and memorialize the historical significance of the
site/structure. In other words, the report evaluates and details why something is
historic. He outlined reasons why a site or structure may be historic that included
being identified with the work of an architect or master builder whose individual
work has influenced the development of the City; being associated with a historic
event; being associated with a person who significantly contributed to the culture
or development of the City; having elements of architectural design, materials,
detail, or craftsmanship that represent significant architectural innovation; or
having a unique location or physical characteristics that represent an established
and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the City as a whole.
Mr. Palmer said the HPC was currently recommending amending the City
Register to include the Anoka Water Works Electric Light & Power Company at
2831 Ferry Street; Anoka City Hall at 2015 1st Avenue; and Giddings Stone
House West Bank of the Rum River. He shared the evaluation reports of each of
the properties recommended for addition to the City Register. The evaluation
reports find the properties meet the criteria for designation. He reviewed the

Page 13 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 11 of 12

proposed regulations, demolition permit review, and review of proposed
construction, then asked for Council feedback.
Councilmember Weaver said he supported these proposals as they have lots of
potential but cautioned against putting too much money in these properties, as
they have to be functional. He said we have to allow people to be successful and
balance that against having properties remain in shambles.
Mayor Skogquist said the same standards should apply to the three existing
historic districts and not be too onerous but when someone wants to alter, the
Register will make them think about their alternations first.
Councilmember Weaver spoke about the difference between aluminum windows
and doors and how redoing something to historic standards can be cost
prohibitive.
Councilmember Rostad said she appreciated the reports that include some great
history for review, then asked what grants were available to help with some of
these preservation costs should that be needed. Mr. Palmer said these would be
City-owned resources which may not be significant from the State’s perspective
and qualify for grant funding, but that staff would review.
Assistant City Engineer Ben Nelson shared photos of various sites and said that
the roof was not replaceable on the stone house and that it could be re-roofed.
HPC Commissioner James Collins suggested considering not restoring the
building but slowing the decay and adding a roof coating to protect the building
and remove some trees, adding that if we do get a lock/dam, then we haven’t
spent a lot of money on the stone house.
Mayor Skogquist said he supported including these properties on the Register and
said this helps in discussions with MnDOT with future road projects.
Councilmember Weaver said if we don’t address the roof, the building could
come down with a heavy snow load, and then the Register won’t matter; adding
this structure is an asset.
HPC Chair Thurston suggested using it as a pump if we had to. Commissioner
Collins asked if the well was still usable and could be used in an emergency. Mr.
Lee said they did test pumping 7-8 years ago, which was fine, but that the
Department of Health won’t allow its use due to contamination concerns.
Councilmember Campbell supported the Register’s inclusion but said it will be
another topic about steps to save the structure from collapsing, as it’s worthwhile,
and with the dam improvements coming, there is potential.

Page 14 of 185

September 28, 2026 (Worksession)
Page 12 of 12

Commissioner Collins suggested trying to save the walls, remove the roof and
replace it, and reproduce the wells and footings for the same look.
Mr. Lee said the roof is troubling and will have to be of high quality because it is
aging quickly.
Councilmember Weaver said we will have to do an analysis on the beams and
posts and could secure the structure with laminated beams, then find a funding
source for the roof.
Council consensus was to bring forward an ordinance for formal consideration to
include the three properties on the City register and direct staff to review building
analysis to stop deterioration.

OPEN FORUM
4.1

Police Activity Update.
Police Chief Andy Youngquist said that with hunting season beginning soon, he
wanted to share information about the firearms and hunter safety program held in
August. He shared photos from the class that included 12 students from Anoka
County who all completed the course. He outlined the program’s curriculum,
which included field scenarios, and said all students were engaged and wanted to
be there. He said these classes are great events for officers too and thanked the
Council for the training center, a valuable tool for many reasons. He shared about
a recent meeting with Minnesota Run Series, the Anoka Business and
Landowners Association, and Pete Turok regarding the annual Gray Ghost Run
and the improvements being made that will include volunteers for staffing the
route for crowd control and timing improvements that will allow staff to reopen
streets sooner. Chief Youngquist then shared about an incident that occurred on

Page 16 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 2 of 13

September 22 that involved an individual on a motorized bike illegally crossing a
road, running a red light, and fleeing an officer. He said the individual reached 50
mph on a bike path, then crashed where he was arrested, adding that the
individual had an active warrant in Hennepin County.
OTHER INFORMATION UNDER OPEN FORUM
Borgie Bonthuis, 2701 Greenway Road, shared about the upcoming Planning
Commission meeting that will include review of a cannabis dispensary in the
former KFC restaurant. She shared concerns about the proposal that involved an
owner from Missouri, operating hours from 9 AM to 10 PM, no improvements to
parking or entrances, or to the two accessory buildings, which are in terrible
condition. She shared concerns about the number of windows in the building and
the need to cover them as required for a dispensary, and that the proposal didn’t
include a landscaping plan. Ms. Bonthuis spoke about traffic and roundabout
concerns and the number of cars using this area as a shortcut, making the corner
dangerous, and said she hoped a traffic study would be included in this proposal.
She referred to the redevelopment plan north of this area where houses were
removed to allow for new townhomes and how the property owner may have
concerns about having a dispensary nearby and encouraged the community to be
engaged and raise any concerns they may have.
Lyndsey Harter, Anoka, spoke about the group spreading false information about
election security and said she believed in our time-tested election process. She
said her group recently attended an Anoka County Board meeting to reject these
claims, adding they met with Commissioners and County staff to speak about the
role they can play to help in this effort. She spoke about testing protocols and
how there is no merit to these pressures, and how they have full confidence in the
process that upholds Minnesota voting laws, and asked that others stand united
with constituents and in defense of our democracy.
5.

PUBLIC HEARING(S)
5.1

Public Hearing; Assessment for Services Against Property with Delinquent
Accounts.
City Assessor Theodore Anderson shared a background report stating that Anoka
City ordinances and Minnesota Statutes allow for the certification of unpaid
service billings, which may include costs associated with weed and diseased tree
removal, false alarms, delinquent utility accounts, and other miscellaneous
services to the public, including removal of public health hazards from private
property. He said City of Anoka utility accounts that are delinquent as of August
1 and remain unpaid as of September 1, 2026, will be collected utilizing special
assessments. An administrative fee ($40.00) plus interest (4%) will be charged.
Property owners have been notified via regular mail. Upon application, Council
may defer the payment of this special assessment for any homestead property

Page 17 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 3 of 13

owned by a person 65 years of age or older, or retired by virtue of a permanent or
total disability, for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. He said
formal action on this item is by resolution and after the public hearing, the
Council should make a motion to move item 9.1 up on the agenda so that it may
be acted upon after the public hearing takes place. Mr. Anderson said
certification of the assessment for services will allow the City to collect for
services it has provided. Deferment delays collection but provides for eventual
collection with accrued interest. He shared that the City sent 91 letters for
certification, which was an increase from last year and included far more
administrative citations due to code enforcement staff in place.
Mayor Skogquist opened the public hearing at 7:21 p.m.
With no input, Mayor Skogquist closed the public hearing at 7:21 p.m.
NOTE: After a motion by Councilmember Campbell, seconded by Councilmember Rostad,
Item 9.1 was moved up to this point in the agenda.
Councilmember Rostad asked if some of these certifications were specific to code
enforcement, as some are rental properties, and suggested not renewing those
licenses if they are not compliant. She noted one property had $23,000 in fees
assessed and that while she understood the need for housing, there also needs to
be a high standard for those properties. Community Development Director Doug
Borglund said there have not been many rental licenses brought forward to
Council for revocation and said this year the few difficult properties could be
attributed to owners who were out of state but agreed non-renewal could be an
option.
Mayor Skogquist agreed, stating most of the certifications didn’t total a lot of
money, but that also means that property owners aren’t working with the City to
get them resolved, and not renewing would be a way to get their attention. He said
he would support an ordinance amendment if needed or policy approval.
Councilmember Weaver said before we condemn a property owner, we should
know more about the charges and if this is unusual or more than just not mowing
grass. David Zimmerman shared further about the property owner in question who
has been taken to court and has bench warrants. He said the property owner lives
in San Diego and has refused all contact and had $13,000 in fees in 2025, which
were paid. He spoke about one property that was blighted and in disrepair with
multiple cars and long grass, and the other was an unlicensed rental property. He
said the banks refuse to become involved, but staff will continue with our process.
Councilmember Scott spoke about the larger amounts this year and asked if the
percentage collected was the total amount due or the total amount delinquent. Mr.
Anderson explained the initial change from the balance sent to what is certified,
and the original amount sent was $129,356.08, with certified at $118,231.81, or

Page 18 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 4 of 13

10% of the overall balance collected. He noted the two properties in question
don’t have updated addresses and that staff was unable to forward them the
notification.
Mayor Skogquist asked if the properties were current on taxes and utilities. Mr.
Anderson confirmed they were, adding they had citations from transitions but had
no issues with utilities.
City Attorney Scott Baumgartner shared the ordinance that said the City had the
authority to suspend or deny a rental license and prevent a new tenant from
coming in, but said it was a fine line to balance and cautioned the Council about
unintended consequences such as the tenant paying but the landlord is not. He
noted we do have a provision for new rental housing.
Councilmember Rostad thanked staff for ensuring property maintenance efforts
are adhered to, which is important and noticed by the residents.
Mayor Skogquist agreed, stating staff has done a great job on this and that one
way to address these concerns is that if the certifications are not paid, they could
lose their properties.
Motion by Councilmember Scott, seconded by Councilmember Rostad, to adopt a
resolution certifying the 2026 assessment for services against property with
delinquent accounts.
Upon a roll call vote: Mayor Skogquist, Councilmembers Campbell, Rostad, and
Scott voted in favor. Motion carried.

REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS, AND COMMISSIONS
7.1

Park & Recreation Board; Sculpture Walk/Art in the Park Proposal.

Page 19 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 5 of 13

Recreation Manager Nickie Jenks shared a background report stating that Art in
the Anoka is a goal of both the City Council and the Park and Recreation
Advisory Board. The idea of a sculpture walk or art garden was discussed by the
planning task force and incorporated into the master plan for the Riverwalk/West
Rum River Trail Plan (2017) along the Ferry Street Corridor. The initial tunnel
art project, Windows in Time, was initiated by former resident Jen Shoemaker
and the Young Artists of Anoka in 2015. This project was paid for by donations
from local businesses and support from the park maintenance budget. The second
tunnel mural project was completed in 2022 with the assistance of Rumriver Art
Center and local grants, and a mural was added to the Anoka Aquatic Center as
well. In 2023, staff met with an anonymous donor regarding the development of
the sculpture walk in Anoka, initially proposing a sculpture walk program similar
to Sculpturewalk Sioux Falls, SD. The Sculpturewalk Sioux Falls was established
in 2010, includes more than 20 sculptures that are changed every year, and is
supported by more than $100,000 in annual corporate donations and organized by
a private entity. Staff initially developed and proposed a plan to the donor and
park board, but due to logistical constraints, ongoing funding concerns, and
overall sustainability, the initial concept was not brought forward for
consideration. Ms. Jenks said the West Rum River Trail construction in 2025
included one pedestal near the pedestrian bridge on Ferry Street for the relocation
of the Iron Jack Pumpkin, which would be the first sculpture located on the West
Rum River Trail, and that discussion began with Rumriver Art Center in 2025
regarding the sculpture walk to determine if this could be achieved through a
partnership with the City of Anoka. In July 2026, the director of Rumriver Art
Center presented a proposal to the Park and Recreation Advisory Board. The new
proposal includes a rotating sculpture garden of 2-3 sculptures located along the
West Rum River Trail. This plan would accept applications from artists for
original sculptures to be on loan for two years, after which the process would
repeat, offering an exciting change in sculptures in the community, continuation
of support for local artists, and a reason for people to continue to explore and
revisit the City of Anoka parks, trails, and art events. She said as funding allows,
additional pedestals could be added along the West Rum River Trail for inclusion
of additional sculptures. She said the Park and Recreation Advisory Board
unanimously voted to approve the partnership, then shared further that the
donation amount of $30,000 and ongoing financial support for this program could
come from a percentage of future park dedication fees, fundraising or corporate
sponsorships, an annual transfer from the general fund, or establishment of a
special revenue fund for this project. She said specific guidelines could be
established through a resolution or creation of policy.
Executive Director of Rum River Arts Center and Creative Flow Arts Center,
Makilyn Koep, shared about their team and the large piece the City could
commission and said this could support artists and provide a rotating sculpture
garden with multiple entries. She suggested forming a committee from the
community to decide which artists would be fitting to provide opportunities for
more artists and a diverse garden, then shared about the river site as a great place

Page 20 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 6 of 13

to start along with other locations. Ms. Koep shared more about local artists and
their format, process, and potential and felt the placement was ideal to promote
walkability and move artists to the next step. She spoke about the stipend for
artists’ work of $7,500, which was similar to other stipends, then shared about the
concrete slab work and the possibility of plaques with accessibility considerations
to make art accessible to the community. She spoke about donations to date of
$30,500 and the time and work to install sculptures, which would be $20,000,
adding that they had received an anonymous donation of $30,000, which was
amazing. She spoke more about the funding going forward and businesses that
could be involved and how this project could include art events in the City.
Ms. Jenks also spoke about core sustainability and said since these would be new
concrete slabs, we could allow a small percentage of park dedication and establish
a special revenue fund for these projects.
Councilmember Weaver complimented artist Jan Johanssen, who had a studio in
the Mill Site building and was likely very excited about this project, but said he
was concerned about not having a donation policy in place first because without it
any donations could potentially go to the general fund. City Manager Greg Lee
said staff has drafted a policy which will be reviewed by Council in the spring
with the rest of the City policies. Councilmember Weaver suggested that Council
review this policy before year-end.
Councilmember Campbell said this was a wonderful project proposal and thanked
all who have been working on this great benefit.
Councilmember Rostad said she loved the idea, then asked if the artist owned
their sculpture. Ms. Koep said the artist would still own their sculpture but would
loan it to the City for a stipend, and it could be offered for sale as well, adding
that any commission price could roll into future funds for the project.
Councilmember Scott said he supported the idea, then mentioned the new trail on
the west side of the Rum River was a nice winding pathway and would be a great
location for this project.
Mayor Skogquist recalled being on a subcommittee when Ms. Johanssen brought
this idea forward and felt this would be a great use for the property. He said it
was located in the core of the City and that a rotating sculpture garden would
bring people to this area, but said the best part was that it was located in a historic
arts corridor. He said this was a great program and thanked everyone who
persevered with this idea.
Motion by Councilmember Campbell, seconded by Councilmember Rostad, to
approve staff to move forward with establishing the partnership with Rumriver
Art Center for implementation of the Sculpture Walk/Art in the Park Proposal for
2027, which will include the formation of a task force made up of members from

Page 21 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 7 of 13

the Park and Recreation Advisory Board, The Rumriver Art Center Board, the
Director of the Rumriver Art Center, the anonymous donor, and City staff.
Mr. Baumgartner noted the need to consider the insurance carried by the City and
written contracts, leases, and licenses prior to full implementation, including the
potential for graffiti. Ms. Koep said artists carry insurance for their work but said
it would be important for the City to decide what is there for safety reasons,
knowing the City has insurance already for its parks.
Upon a roll call vote, Mayor Skogquist, Councilmembers Campbell, Rostad,
Scott, and Weaver voted in favor. Motion carried.
Mayor Skogquist thanked the donor for getting this project started.

ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
9.1

RES/Adopting Assessment for Services Against Property with Delinquent
Accounts.
ACTED UPON AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING

9.2

RES/ADA Plan Implementation - Green Haven Golf Clubhouse Elevator
Modifications; Approve Quotations and Award Construction Contract(s).
RESOLUTION
Assistant City Engineer Ben Nelson shared a background report stating that in
2023, the City completed an ADA/Accessibility Assessment and Barrier Removal
Report that identified non-compliant accessibility issues at City-owned facilities.
The report identified that the existing elevator at the Green Haven Clubhouse does
not extend up to the third floor to provide ADA access. At this time, there is no
alternative equivalent means to reach this level of the clubhouse.
On August 3, 2026, the Council adopted a resolution approving the plans and
specifications, authorizing solicitation of written quotes and establishing a quote
date of September 22, 2026. The project includes elevator modifications that
modernize the existing car and add an additional stop at the third floor, extending
service to the top floor. He outlined the interior space improvements that would
be part of the project, including finished painted walls with baseboard
incorporating a veneer accent feature into the wall treatment, carpeted floors,
transom windows, architectural millwork for built-in storage, and an acoustical
ceiling system with overhead lighting fixtures. He said a new restroom, along
with doors, frames, and hardware, along with necessary electrical, mechanical,
and plumbing improvements, are included in the scope of the project. Once

Page 22 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 8 of 13

completed, these improvements will expand the uses of the third floor, including
meeting space, offices, and greatly enhance accessibility, operations, and event
marketability at Green Haven. He outlined the bidding requirements in law, then
said the City proceeded with direct solicitation of written quotes. He said RJM
Construction serves as the project’s construction management agency, responsible
for overseeing the contractors and advising the City when acting as the general
contractor. RJM Construction assembled the Quote Package and received written
quotes on behalf of the City of Anoka. Based on requirements in the bid
specification prepared by the construction project manager, the bidding structure
for the project was set up with a Base Quote Package with separate Quote
Categories and an Alternate Quote Category. He outlined the scope of the Base
Quote Package, then reviewed the award construction contracts in detail. He
shared the total project cost of $587,743 and the project schedule, then said staff
was recommending adoption, adding that if Council were not to accept the
Alternate Quote Category, it is recommended that Council adopt the proposed
resolution with the condition that the Alternate Quote Category is excluded and
removed from the resolution’s contract award language.
Mayor Skogquist said this is space we have used for many years but was not in
compliance with ADA requirements and will be a good project.
Motion by Councilmember Scott, seconded by Councilmember Rostad, to adopt a
resolution for the ADA Plan Implementation – Green Haven Clubhouse Elevator
Modifications; Approve Quotations and Award Contracts; and authorize the City
Manager to execute contracts and designate the authorized representative for
$587,000, which included the proposed restroom.
Upon a roll call vote, Mayor Skogquist, Councilmembers Campbell, Rostad,
Scott, and Weaver voted in favor. Motion carried.
9.3

RES/Approval of Post Real Estate Closing Agreement Between the City of Anoka
and HRA for 7th Avenue and East Main Street Parcel.
RESOLUTION
Community Development Director Doug Borglund shared a background report
stating the City of Anoka has received a Letter of Interest from a prospective
buyer for the City-owned property at 7th Avenue and E. Main Street. This parcel
was originally owned by the Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and
was sold to the City of Anoka following a Purchase Agreement executed on June
3, 2024, with the transaction closing taking place on August 15, 2024. Under the
terms of the original Purchase Agreement, the City was required to reserve a
minimum of a 10,000-square-foot parcel for the construction of a municipal liquor
store. The agreement further stipulated that if construction had not commenced
within three years of closing, the HRA could require the City to reconvey the
parcel back to the HRA at no cost, except for obligations related to repayment

Page 23 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 9 of 13

through TIF revenues, proportionate to the liquor store parcel’s share of the total
property. The City of Anoka has requested an amendment to the Purchase
Agreement through a new Post Real Estate Closing Agreement, as recommended
by the City Attorney. The purpose of the agreement is to prevent the need for
reconveyance of the property back to the HRA due to the City not meeting all
requirements outlined in the original Purchase Agreement. The proposed
agreement would allow the City to retain ownership of the property and continue
discussions with an interested party regarding the potential land purchase and
development of a 15,000-square-foot one-level building on the property. At the
September 14, 2026 meeting, the Anoka HRA voted unanimously to enter into the
Post Real Estate Closing Agreement.
Mayor Skogquist further explained how the HRA sold the parcel to the City but
included the requirement for a liquor store; however, since there have been other
concepts considered and now a proposal to construct a 15,000-square-foot
commercial space instead, we have to clean up this language, and he thanked the
HRA for being flexible.
Motion by Councilmember Campbell, seconded by Councilmember Scott, to
adopt a resolution approving a Post Real Estate Closing Agreement between the
City of Anoka and the Anoka Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
relating to the property at 7th Avenue and East Main Street.
Upon a roll call vote, Mayor Skogquist, Councilmembers Campbell, Rostad,
Scott, and Weaver voted in favor. Motion carried.

ORD/Zoning Text Amendment to City Code Chapter 78, Article IX, Division 1,
Section 78-564 – Metal Roof, Permitting Standing Seam Metal Roofs on SingleFamily Homes and Townhomes.
(2nd Reading)
ORDINANCE
Mr. Borglund said that the first reading of this ordinance was held on September
21 with no changes made. He shared a background report stating that in 2015, the
City of Anoka adopted an ordinance prohibiting standing seam metal roofs on
single-family homes and townhomes. The topic originally arose in 2014 after
several commercial projects incorporated standing seam metal roofing systems
(e.g., the US Bank along West Main Street, the Public Safety Center, and the
condominium building at 2nd Avenue and Van Buren Street). A standing seam
metal roof is a metal roofing system in which panels are joined by raised,
interlocking seams with concealed fasteners, offering durability and weather
resistance. This system differs from metal panel roofing with exposed fasteners,
which is more commonly found in agricultural buildings due to its lower cost and
ease of installation. The current ordinance does allow other metal roof systems—
including shingle, shake, or tile profiles—provided no system includes exposed

Page 24 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 10 of 13

fasteners. The proposed amendment would continue to allow these systems. The
City of Anoka is now interested in amending the code to permit standing seam
metal roofs on single-family homes and townhomes. The Planning Commission
discussed the topic during its July 21, 2026, work session and recommended
moving forward with an ordinance amendment. Staff have since consulted with
the City’s Building Official and developed draft ordinance language and said they
are proposing to amend subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2), and strike subsections (a)(3)
through (a)(5). Subsection (a)(1) will continue to prohibit metal roof systems with
exposed fasteners. Subsection (a)(2) will be amended to require snow guards in
areas where snow could slide off the roof and pose a safety hazard or risk
property damage—an item not addressed in the Building Code. Subsections
(a)(3) through (a)(5) are no longer necessary because the Building Code already
regulates these roof system components. Additionally, the definition of
“prefinished metal roofs” inherently covers the treatment and finishing
requirements, as it refers to roofing systems fabricated off-site with a final paint,
coating, or finish applied before installation. This ensures consistent color,
texture, and durability and allows the roof to be installed without on-site finishing.
The Planning Commission reviewed the ordinance amendment and held a public
hearing at its regular meeting on September 1, 2026, and recommended approval
of the ordinance.
Mayor Skogquist said metal roofs can be very appealing and thanked staff and the
Planning Commission for their work.
Motion by Councilmember Rostad, seconded by Councilmember Scott, to hold
second reading and adopt an ordinance approving a zoning text amendment to
City Code Chapter 78, Article IX, Division 1, Section 78-564 – Metal Roof;
Permitting Standing Seam Metal Roofs On Single-Family Homes and
Townhomes.
Upon a roll call vote, Mayor Skogquist, Councilmembers Campbell, Rostad,
Scott, and Weaver voted in favor. Motion carried.
9.5

RES/2027 Street Surface Improvement Project; Authorize Feasibility Report in
the McKinley Parks Neighborhood.
RESOLUTION
Assistant City Engineer Ben Nelson shared a background report stating that in
2009 the Anoka City Council began the Street Surface Improvement Program
(SSIP) for city streets showing accelerated deterioration in order to create longerterm benefits than just roadway maintenance. The main construction component
of the Street Surface Improvement Program is the reconditioning/resurfacing of
City roads. Reconditioning of a road comprises a full-depth reclamation of
existing bituminous pavement and underlying aggregate base material and paving
a new bituminous asphalt surface. Since this program began, over 2,480

Page 25 of 185

October 5, 2026 (Regular)
Page 11 of 13

properties have benefitted, and 26.4 miles of City roads have been resurfaced, or
38% of the 71.6 miles of City roads. To date, the total investment in our roadway
system with this program is approximately $18.1M. He said this proposed project
will involve the reconditioning or resurfacing of the street surface, including the
bituminous pavement, minor replacement of the concrete curb and gutters,
sidewalks, spot watermain repairs, traffic control, and storm sewer drainage
improvements only as necessary. As part of the sidewalk work, all pedestrian
ramps will be reconstructed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) Standards. The spot watermain repair work is for the malfunctioning gate
valves and broken access valve boxes. The 2027 project is proposed to be
approximately one mile of street resurfacing for the neighborhoods of McKinley
Park’s additions, including McKinley Park and McKinley Park 1st Addition. The
roads that are to be included for study within the 2027 SSIP Feasibility Report
were shared, and authorizing the feasibility report is the first step in the Chapter
429 process. The report will examine the scope of the proposed improvements,
explore estimated project costs, preliminary special assessments, project schedule,
as well as the overall feasibility and general cost-effectiveness of the proposed
project. This project follows the City of Anoka’s current Capital Improvement
Program and is following current budget considerations. Generally, it is staff’s
intention to concentrate efforts in areas of the City with poor condition of the
bituminous surfacing based on the Pavement Condition Index rating system,
available funding, and the age of the underground infrastructure. It should be
understood that, prior to Council consideration of approving the feasibility report,
staff will hold an informational neighborhood meeting for the 2027 Street Surface
Improvement Project. Mr. Nelson said the feasibility report will explore the
project’s costs and available funding sources, including special assessments, and
that based on unanimous consent from the Council at the December 2, 2024,
regular meeting, the Street Reconstruction Assessment Policy was amended to
include special assessments for various types of street improvement projects,
including SSIP projects. He reviewed the current assessment rates in detail as well
as the project schedule.
Councilmember Weaver shared that in 2009 the City had a proposal of over $1
million for improvements at Green Haven, but there were too many potholes on
Sunny Lane, so we elected to do the Green Haven entry instead, which created the
SSIP program, and said this will be another great project under that program.
Motion by Councilmember Scott, seconded by Councilmember Campbell, to
adopt a resolution for the 2027 Street Surface Improvement Project; authorize a
feasibility report in the McKinley Parks Neighborhood.
Upon a roll call vote, Mayor Skogquist, Councilmembers Campbell, Rostad,
Scott, and Weaver voted in favor. Motion carried.

Fair Housing Policy.
Mr. Borglund shared a background report stating that on July 21, 2025, the City
Council approved a resolution to participate in the Metropolitan Council’s Livable
Communities Program. As noted in the Council Memo from July 21, 2025, the
adoption of a Fair Housing Policy is needed if funds are to be awarded in the City
of Anoka. Currently, Franklin Apartments has applied, and their application is
being considered for rehab funds, but in order to be eligible for grant funds, the
City must adopt a Fair Housing Policy. The City of Anoka is already obligated to
meet federal and state fair housing policies, but by adopting a local policy, it
clearly identifies how the City will meet these obligations in a way that best
serves the City of Anoka and its residents. He shared the policy, which includes
awareness of fair housing laws and best practices, including sharing the policy in
multiple languages, as well as understanding, sensitivity, and staff training. He
said the policy includes the ability to review and make recommendations for
changes, project planning and analysis regarding proposed projects, being openminded and fair, and encouraging community engagement through our land use
process.
Councilmember Weaver asked if this policy includes any expectations or
requirements to create more rental housing in the City. Mr. Borglund said it did
not, adding the City is already obligated under federal and state law to meet fair
housing laws, but that a policy was needed at the local level as well, even though
we are already doing all of these requirements.
Councilmember Weaver asked if we have a map that differentiates rental housing
from owner-occupied housing. Mr. Borglund said we have a single-family
density cap map and a zoning map that shows the high-density zoned areas.
Councilmember Campbell said this was a clear, concise, and easy-to-follow
policy.
Motion by Councilmember Campbell, seconded by Councilmember Scott, to
adopt the Fair Housing Policy as presented.
Upon a roll call vote, Mayor Skogquist, Councilmembers Campbell, Rostad,
Scott, and Weaver voted in favor. Motion carried.

Mayor Skogquist noted that there will be many activities in October and
encouraged people to attend, adding that it is very likely that members of the
Council will be present at many of these events.
12.2

Updates and Reports.
Councilmember Weaver asked staff to share about an upcoming meeting
regarding Amtrak and the Borealis trains, which were exceeding expectations.
Mr. Borglund said staff will be meeting with MnDOT Rail, Amtrak, and the Met
Council regarding the rail station infrastructure.
Councilmember Weaver referred to the Miller building meeting and how the City
wasn’t interested in proposals, then shared that the City paid $9 million for the
building four years ago, financed $500,000 for demolition, and that we currently
owe over $12 million with accumulated interest. He said the taxpayers are paying
$1,246 daily for this interest or $37,000 a month, and that we need to decide what
we are going to do about this building, adding that while it’s been called an asset,
it isn’t and needs to be discussed. Councilmember Weaver also asked if staff has
hired an investigator regarding the farming contractor/lease and how that should
have been a Council vote, then asked if we have contracts for mowing long grass
and other services and, if so, we should be investigating many other staff
members and not just certain ones.
Mayor Skogquist said the City is currently conducting an investigation on a
personnel matter and that it is not fair to staff or Council to bring this up here. He
said the investigation is being done by third parties and is appropriate, and the
difference between contracts for long grass is that this one is related to our
Charter and land, while the others are not. He said he would appreciate allowing
the process to be completed and not having grandstanding occur at Council
meetings.
Councilmember Weaver asked to speak further to be transparent for the public.
Mayor Skogquist asked Councilmember Weaver not to speak further on this topic.

Agenda Item # 4.1

Meeting Date:

Agenda Section:

Open Forum

Item Description:

Presentation of Check from Anoka Cannabis Company; Waterfowl for Warriors.

Submitted By:

Kevin Morelli, Enterprise Operations Director

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Anoka’s municipally owned and operated adult-use cannabis dispensary, the Anoka Cannabis
Company, officially opened its doors on February 5, 2026. Because all staff members are government
employees, state law prohibits them from accepting personal tips, an otherwise common practice within the
adult‑use cannabis industry.
To ensure employees still feel valued for their dedication and service, the city implemented an alternative
approach that allows customers to express their appreciation. Tip containers were placed within the dispensary,
with all collected funds designated for donation to nonprofit organizations within the City of Anoka and Anoka
County.
From September 12th through September 30th, the Dispensary team selected the Waterfowl for Warriors as the
beneficiary of their monthly customer tip donation initiative. Waterfowl for Warriors is a hunting program
organized by volunteers from local law enforcement agencies, American Legion, Fire Department and hunting
enthusiasts. Veterans, retired Military Service Members, and Men/Woman currently serving are welcome to
participate for free.
Thanks to the generosity of our customers, a total of $1,482.65 was collected during this nineteen-day span.
This evening, Lisa LaCasse, Jon Holmes and volunteers from Waterfowl for Warriors are present to accept a
check from Anoka Cannabis Company team members Tattiana Sannes-Hankerson, Marcus Stockinger and
Blaire Niesen. Lisa LaCasse will provide a brief overview of Waterfowl for Warriors and potential uses for the
donated funds.
The team from Anoka Cannabis Company would like to thank our Brave Men and Women, past, present and
future, for their service to our country. We truly appreciate the sacrifices that are made to ensure our freedom.
Beginning February 5th through September 30th, $20,656.25 has been collected and donated in and around the
Anoka community.

Item Description:

Adopting 2027 Master Fee Schedule (1st Reading)

Submitted By:

Amy Oehlers, ACM

Agenda Item # 9.1

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Annually staff reviews the fee schedule and determines whether or not a recommendation should be made to the
Council to adjust the fees that the City charges for services and licenses. Fees are to be based on the actual
costs to provide the service, issuance/enforcement of a license or code regulation, background checks, materials,
time, etc.
Attached is the proposed fee schedule for 2027. The areas in red text are the proposed changes, and areas
stricken out are to be removed.
You will see in the draft fee schedule that some of the fees will be addressed in December. For Finance; a
public hearing on Water, Sewer and Storm Rates will be held on December 7, 2026. Also on that date, a public
hearing will be held to discuss all alcohol related license fees. Minnesota Statutes requires that the City provide
a 30-day notice to current alcohol related licensees about fee increases and that a public hearing be held.
The fees referenced in this paragraph will be adopted through an amendment to the 2027 Master Fee (with a
first reading of the amendments to be held on December 7th and the second reading to be held on December
21st).
Attached is a summary of Anoka Municipal Utility’s recommended changes.
If you have specific questions related to any of the proposed changes, please let our office know prior to the
meeting so that we can provide you an answer before the meeting or arrange to have the appropriate staff person
present at the meeting to answer questions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Varies.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION

ANOKA MUNICIPAL UTILITY
From Electric Utility Director, Nick Loehlein
Below is a summary of AMU’s recommended changes to the Anoka Master Fee Schedule for 2027, roughly in
order as they appear on the fee schedule. Note that the Utility Advisory Board (UAB) moved to advise City
Council to adopt the changes below at their September 17, 2026, meeting.
•

•

Rename ELECTRIC UTILITY CONSTRUCTION section to ELECTRIC UTILITY, since some of
the listed charges are not related to construction. Within this section:
o Construction charges
 Changes to New Construction, Relocation, Service Change, and Service Upgrade which
are meant to protect existing AMU customers, ensure the financial health of AMU, and
be sensitive to charges imposed in the market
 The UAB moved to advise City Council to adopt the changes to this section at their July
23, 2026, meeting
o Solar
 Change to the application fee consistent with the Minnesota Municipal Interconnection
Process (M-MIP)
 Inflationary increase for meter reprogramming
o EV Residential Chargers
 Replace Electric Charger Transformer Grid Charge with a charge consistent with our
service upgrades
o Residential Electric Vehicle Chargers
 Remove redundant section
o Frost Charge
 Clarify the charges as 100% of pass-through costs but 120% of other costs, to reflect the
additional wear and tear on equipment as well as the inefficiency of doing such work in
the winter
o Meter Test
 Add reference to AMU Rules & Regulations
 Inflationary increase to cost of single-phase test
 Add a charge for testing full metering packages, which AMU would likely contract out
because we do not own the equipment to perform such test, and so we would pass along
100% of those costs
o Residential Energy Audit
 Adding copay for services performed by Frontier Energy staff certified by the Building
Performance Institute (BPI)
o Define “actual costs” as material, internal and external labor, equipment charges, administrative,
and compliance
o Also minor cosmetic changes throughout for consistency and clarity
FINANCE
o Meter Tampering/Theft
 Inflationary increase in fee
o Meter Test
 Redirect to Electric Utility section so charges aren’t listed in multiple places in the fee
schedule
o Security Light
 Inflationary increase in fee
o Electric Service Connection, Disconnection, and Reconnection
 Changes to these sections to sync up the charges with the processes described in the
AMU Rules & Regulations and to clearly differentiate between customer-requested
disconnects/reconnects, AMU-initiated disconnects/reconnects, and new connections
Page 64 of 185

Also in the FINANCE section, the Water & Sewer Division recommends the following changes to the Anoka
Master Fee Schedule for 2027.
•

FINANCE
o Non-AMI Water Meter Fee
 Institute a monthly fee for reading non-AMI water meters
o Radio Read Meter Installation on Outside of Property
 Eliminate fee because we will no longer be installing radio read meters

COUNCIL MEMO

Agenda Item # 9.2

Meeting Date:

October 19, 2026

Agenda Section:

Ordinances and Resolutions

Item Description:

RES/Official Intent to Reimburse City for Green Haven Clubhouse Elevator
Modifications and Replace the Public Safety Center Building Air Conditioning Unit

Submitted By:

Brenda Springer, Finance Director

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On October 5, 2026, City Council approved bids and awarded a construction contract for the Green Haven
Clubhouse Elevator Modifications and on October 2, 2026, public solicitation for written quotes for the Public
Safety Center building air conditioning unit was published in the Anoka Union.
The city will be using general funds to initially pay for the capital improvements and then bond for the funds in
2027 and reimburse the general fund. The estimated cost for both capital improvements is $950,000.
Delaying bonding until 2027 allows the city to combine multiple projects into one bond issue saving on bond
issue costs. Bonding for these improvements will be combined with the bonding for the 2026 and 2027 street
improvement projects. On May 18, 2026, council approved the reimbursement resolution for the 2026 street
improvement project.
DISCUSSION
Staff are recommending the city council approves a resolution adopting a statement of official intent to
reimburse original expenditures.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Provides flexibility for funding the Green Haven Elevator Modifications and the Public Safety Center Air
Conditioning Unit and to receive lower rates on our bond issue.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution declaring intent of the city to reimburse street
improvements from the proceeds of bonds to be issued by the city.
REQUIRED VOTE
Councilmembers majority vote present at the time of the City Council meeting.

RE: First Amendment to Purchase Agreement for 2.55 acres of City Land
Dear City Council,
In March 2026 we entered into a Purchase Agreement to purchase 2.55 acres of City land for the
development of a four-story market rate multifamily apartment. The Purchase Agreement contemplates
closing on the land in late 2026 with several extensions allowed to extend the closing to mid-2027.
Per the City’s request, the Purchase Agreement includes language that allows the City to repurchase the
property from Velair should Velair not start construction by a certain date. However, the Purchase
Agreement does not define how long after closing Velair would have to start construction before the City
can repurchase the property.
To provide clarity to this missing information, we are enclosing a 1 st Amendment to the Purchase
Agreement that will provide Velair 3 years from land closing to commence construction on the proposed
development after Velair closes on the land. We are proposing this timeline for the following reasons:
1. While we absolutely love the site for its intended use, the current economic, construction, and
geopolitical market is very volatile, making a groundbreaking date very difficult to predict in any US
Market.
2. Prior to closing on the land, Velair and the City will spend a considerable amount of time and
resources on entitlements prior to closing on the land. Based on this, we do not feel a repurchase by
the City shortly after closing is in the best interest of Velair, the City, or the proposed project.
We have been pursuing this site since 2021 and are still thrilled about this development. Our goal is still to
start construction immediately after acquisition in 2027 but respectfully request the proposed flexibility in
the event conditions do not support vertical construction.
Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Velair Development Company

acceptable to Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

B.

Buyer’s Objections. Buyer shall have until the Contingency Date for examination
of title and making any objections, which shall be made in writing or deemed
waived.

TITLE CORRECTIONS AND REMEDIES. Seller shall have thirty (30) days from
receipt of Buyer’s written title objections to make title marketable. Upon receipt of Buyer’s
title objections, Seller shall, within ten (10) business days, notify Buyer of Seller’s
intention as to making the title marketable within the thirty (30) day period. Liens or
encumbrances for liquidated amounts which can be released by payment or escrow from
proceeds of closing shall not delay the closing. Cure of the defects by Seller shall be
reasonable, diligent, prompt, and paid by Seller. Pending correction of title, all payments
required herein and the closing shall be postponed.
A.

If notice is given and Seller informs Buyer that it will not make title marketable, or
if Seller proceeds to make title marketable but the thirty (30) day period expires
without title being made marketable, Buyer may seek, as permitted by law, any one
of the following:
(1)

Proceed to closing waiving the objections to title; or

(2)

judgment of the Title Company, is sufficient to ensure correction of the title
objections. Any amount so withheld from the Purchase Price will be placed
in escrow with the Title Company, pending such correction. If Seller does
not correct the title objections within thirty (30) days after such escrow is
established, Buyer may then correct such title objections and charge the
costs against the escrowed amount. The parties agree to execute and deliver
such documents as may be reasonably required by the Title Company, and
Seller agrees to pay the charges of the Title Company to create and
administer the escrow.

objections, the closing shall take place within ten (10) business days or on the
scheduled closing date, whichever is later.

REMEDIES.
A.

except Buyer’s default or a termination of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller

Item Description:

RES/Site Plan Review for Cannabis Retailer; 711 W. Main St.

Submitted By:

Clark Palmer, Senior City Planner

Agenda Item # 9.4

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Minnesota Investment Group LLC (the "Applicant") is requesting approval of a Site Plan Review for the
property located at 711 W. Main St (the "Property"). The Property is the former location of a KFC restaurant
and is proposed to be converted into a cannabis retail use operated by GFGC LLC. GFGC LLC has preliminary
license approval from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and has considerable experience
in the regulated cannabis industry.
The property is zoned B-1 Highway Business. Cannabis retailers are permitted within this district, and the
property is not subject to any buffering requirements, which restrict cannabis retailers within 500 feet of
schools, daycares, residential treatment facilities, and attractions with public parks regularly used by minors
such as playgrounds or athletic fields.
The Applicant proposes to remodel the principal structure to accommodate the retail use and meet all state
building/fire codes and state mandated security requirements. Building security requirements are addressed in
state law and OCM rulemaking, which is further detailed in a separate attachment included in your packet.
Exterior improvements include enhancements to the existing principal structure, new lighting, landscaping
(including irrigation), removal of the existing accessory structures, and patching/seal coating of the existing
parking lot. Additional details are included in the Applicant's written narratives.
The proposed use of the Property is consistent with the City's adopted 2040 land use plan and current B-1
zoning. The site plan meets all zoning requirements including setbacks, parking, landscaping and lighting.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The Planning Commission reviewed the Site Plan Review Application at their regular meeting on October 6,
2026. The Planning Commission staff report is included in your packet.
Please note, since the Planning Commission meeting, the Applicant has revised their plans to address
comments, concerns and conditions recommended by the Planning Commission pertaining to lighting,
landscaping, and the existing accessory buildings. The revised plans include two new pole mounted lights on
the west side of the site (condition #10), 36 new shrubs and 43 perennial/ornamental grasses (conditions #6 and
#7), and the demolition of the accessory structures (condition #5) which will be replaced with open space/sod.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the application subject to the following conditions.
1. All mechanical equipment on the ground or roof shall be screened on all sides or placed so as not to be
visible from public streets. Such screening shall be compatible with the building. Camouflaging is an
acceptable method of screening and the intent of the screening is to distract the review of these areas,
not to provide total screening.
2. Dumpsters, recycling containers, compactors, and solid waste handling areas shall be screened from
adjacent property and from public view with a six-foot-high solid and finished masonry wall with
closeable gates. In no instance shall a chainlink fence, wood, vinyl or barbed wire fence be permitted.
Page 140 of 185

3. A building permit shall be obtained prior to any site work or construction commencing on site.
4. All improvements shall be consistent with the approved plans.
5. The property shall meet all property maintenance code requirements including the existing accessory
structures on site.
6. A revised landscaping plan shall be submitted to staff for presentation to the City Council including
additional planting of shrubs and perennials.
7. All sodded areas shall be irrigated.
8. Prior to operation, a city registration and Minnesota cannabis business license shall be issued.
9. Hours of operation shall meet City Code (8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and
between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sundays.)
10. A revised lighting/photometric plan shall be submitted to staff for presentation to the City Council
addressing inconsistent illumination levels shown on the original lighting/photometric lighting plan.

711 West Main Street – Updated Site Plan Materials

Dear Mr. Palmer:
As you know, we represent Minnesota Investment Group, LLC (the “Applicant”) in connection with
the proposed cannabis retail store at 711 West Main Street (the “Property”) in the City of Anoka
(the “City”). The Applicant has applied for site plan approval. As explained in the application
materials, the proposal will renovate and reuse the former KFC restaurant for a permitted
cannabis retail use, together with exterior building and site improvements.
Following the Planning Commission’s public hearing on October 6, 2026, the Applicant carefully
considered the comments made by the Planning Commission, City staff, and members of the
public. In response, the Applicant has revised its plans to address those comments and further
improve the Property. Enclosed for the City Council’s consideration are the Applicant’s updated
site plan, photometric plan, and landscaping plan. These revisions are summarized below.
1.

Removal of Existing Accessory Buildings and Additional Green Space

The Applicant has committed to removing the existing accessory buildings located on the
Property. The revised site plan therefore identifies the existing accessory buildings for removal in
their entirety and reflects the revised treatment of this portion of the site. Removal of these older
structures will improve the appearance and condition of the Property and allow the affected area
to be converted to green space. In addition to improving the site aesthetically, replacing existing
developed areas with green space will reduce the Property’s overall impervious surface. This
represents a meaningful improvement over existing site conditions and directly responds to
concerns regarding the condition and appearance of the accessory buildings.
2.

Revised Photometric Plan and Additional Site Lighting

The Applicant has also revised the photometric plan in response to comments regarding lighting
levels and areas of the Property that were comparatively dark. The updated plan adds two polemounted lights to improve illumination within those portions of the site and provide more
consistent lighting across the Property. This is consistent with the City's B-1 Highway Business
District standards, which require exterior lighting to provide illumination for the security and safety
of parking and other site areas, require adequate security lighting, and provide that site lighting
should maintain consistent illumination while avoiding pockets of very high or low illumination.
The Applicant believes the two additional pole lights appropriately respond to the Commission’s
concerns by improving lighting in areas that were previously darker while creating a more
consistent lighting pattern throughout the site.

3.

Updated Landscaping and Irrigation

Finally, the Applicant has updated its landscaping plan to further improve the Property and
address the landscaping requirements of City Code Section 78-265(j)(7). The updated Landscape
Plan confirms that the entire site will be fully irrigated. The irrigation system will be fully
programmable, provide head-to-head or drip coverage, and be designed to deliver one inch of
precipitation per week, with irrigation extending into the public right-of-way to the edge of
pavement/back of curb. The irrigation system will be installed in accordance with the detailed
irrigation notes shown on the Landscape Plan.
The updated landscape plan also shows the addition of low scape shrubs and grasses to be
planted along the Main Street Service Road, Fairoak Avenue, and Green Haven Parkway. Where
accessory buildings were previously located, green space will now be provided consistent with
the updated landscape plan. The updated landscaping plan has been prepared with the City Code
requirements in mind, but goes above and beyond what the Code currently requires. This
represents an additional investment by the Applicant in improving the appearance and long-term
condition of the Property.
4.

Conclusion

Taken together, these revisions demonstrate the Applicant’s good-faith effort to respond directly
and constructively to the comments received through the Planning Commission process and
address conditions of approval. Rather than simply maintaining existing site conditions, the
Applicant has committed to removing dilapidated accessory structures, increasing green space,
improving site lighting, and enhancing landscaping and irrigation. The Applicant otherwise agrees
to comply with the other conditions recommended by the Planning Commission.
These improvements complement the Applicant’s broader proposal to rehabilitate a vacant former
restaurant and return the Property to productive commercial use while largely maintaining the
site’s existing access, parking, and circulation. The Applicant appreciates the comments received
during the review process and remains committed to working collaboratively with the City to
develop a professionally operated cannabis retail business and improve the Property.
We respectfully request that the City Council consider these revised plans and approve the site
plan.
Sincerely,

Craig W. Hardie, for
Larkin Hoffman

Application A2026-011
Site Plan Review
711 W. Main St.
Cannabis Retailer

BACKGROUND
Minnesota Investment Group LLC is requesting approval of a Site Plan Review for the property
located at 711 W. Main St. The subject property is the former location of a KFC restaurant and is
proposed to be converted into a cannabis retail use operated by GFGC LLC. GFGC LLC has
preliminary license approval from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management and has
considerable experience in the regulated cannabis industry.
The property is zoned B-1 Highway Business. Cannabis retailers are permitted within this
district, and the property is not subject to any buffering requirements, which restrict cannabis
retailers within 500 feet of schools, daycares, residential treatment facilities, and attractions with
a public park regularly used by minors such as playgrounds or athletic fields.
The Applicant proposes to remodel the interior of the principal structure to accommodate the
retail use. Minimal exterior improvements are planned, primarily cosmetic in nature. Existing
accessory structures will remain unchanged.
Current Comprehensive Land Use Plan:
The subject property is designated as “Commercial” under the City of Anoka’s adopted 2040
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Commercial land use category is intended to accommodate
uses providing a wide range of goods and services, including restaurants, convenience stores,
hotels, retail sales, professional and personal services, offices, and other specialized service
businesses. The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Existing Zoning:
The subject property is zoned B-1 Highway Business. The purpose of the B-1 Highway Business
District is to provide for services and limited retail businesses oriented toward motorists and
requiring high traffic volumes and visibility from major roads, ensuring compatibility with
adjacent residential uses. The proposed use is permitted in the B-1 District
SITE PLAN REVIEW ANALYSIS
Pursuant to City Code, a site plan review is required before building permits are issued for
alterations to commercial structures. Because minimal exterior changes are proposed, the site
plan review is rather straightforward.
Building Setbacks:

Existing

Building Height:
Within the B-1 District, new structures are limited to a maximum of three stories or 40 feet. The
existing principal structure is approximately 18 feet tall at its highest point.
Parking Analysis:
City Code requires 1 parking stall for every 250 sq. ft. of floor area. The floor area is 2,975 sq.
ft., which requires a minimum of 12 parking stalls. 41 parking stalls are provided. The parking
lot will be patched as needed, seal coated and restriped.
Landscaping:
The Applicant is not proposing any new landscaping. The Site Plan notes state the existing turf
and landscaping will be protected from damage during construction. The Planning Commission
may consider requiring additional landscaping.
Lighting
City Code requires submittal of a photometric plan. The submitted plan shows compliance with
City Code, which says lighting shall not exceed 0.1 footcandle at residential property lines or 0.5
footcandle on nonresidential property lines measured on a vertical plane.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions:
1. All mechanical equipment on the ground or roof shall be screened on all sides or placed
so as not to be visible from public streets. Such screening shall be compatible with the
building. Camouflaging is an acceptable method of screening and the intent of the
screening is to distract the review of these areas, not to provide total screening.
2. Dumpsters, recycling containers, compactors, and solid waste handling areas shall be
screened from adjacent property and from public view with a six-foot-high solid and
finished masonry wall with closeable gates. In no instance shall a chainlink fence, wood,
vinyl or barbed wire fence be permitted.
3. A building permit shall be obtained prior to any site work or construction commencing on
site.
4. All improvements shall be consistent with the approved plans.
5. The property shall meet all property maintenance code requirements.
6. Additional landscaping may be required as recommended by the Planning Commission.
7. All turf areas shall be irrigated.

8. Prior to operation, a city registration and Minnesota cannabis business incense shall be
issued.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Future Cannabis Dispensary 711 W Main Street, Anoka, Minnesota 55303
Project Overview
The project team is proposing to renovate and reuse the former KFC restaurant located at
711 W Main Street in Anoka as a cannabis retail location. The project will include interior
renovations, exterior building improvements, and general maintenance and cosmetic
improvements to the existing site.
GFGC LLC is a licensed cannabis retail operator led by experienced professionals with
substantial experience operating within Missouri’s highly regulated cannabis market. The
primary license holder of GFGC LLC has opened 2 cannabis retail locations on its own, has
6 years’ experience in regulated cannabis retail operations, compliance, store
management, and community integration, and is excited to bring its knowledge into
Minnesota as the state’s regulated cannabis market continues to develop.
The team identified Anoka as an attractive market for expansion, and the property at 711 W
Main Street was specifically selected because of its visibility, convenient access, existing
parking, and the size and configuration of the building. The property provides an
opportunity to reuse an existing commercial site with relatively limited changes to the
overall site configuration.
Proposed Use and Operations
The property will be used for the in-store retail sale of cannabis and related products in
accordance with applicable State of Minnesota and local regulations. The facility will not
include outdoor sales, on-site consumption, cultivation, manufacturing or a pickup
window until allowed by state and local laws and regulations.
The interior will include an ID control point, retail sales floor, sales counter, secure product
storage room, and employee and operational support spaces. Customers will pass through
a controlled entry and ID verification point before entering the sales area.
Security measures will include controlled entry, security cameras, alarm systems, and
secure product storage consistent with applicable cannabis regulations and the
company’s operating standards.
Anticipated hours of operation will generally be 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Staffing will
fluctuate based on customer demand, with approximately five to ten employees working at
the location.
Site and Exterior Improvements

Page 158 of 185

The existing parking fields, vehicular access points, and general site circulation will remain
unchanged. Improvements will include painting and refacing the existing pylon sign and
removing the former drive-through equipment and associated signage. New signage will be
submitted under a separate permit.
Exterior building improvements will include removal of the existing cooler/freezer addition
at the rear of the building, painting of the existing EIFS and decorative CMU, installation of
new composite accent cladding at the primary entrance, fabric awnings at doors and
windows, replacement of the former drive-through service window with a fixed window,
and new decorative exterior lighting.
The exterior design will provide a clean, modern commercial appearance. Branding will
primarily be incorporated through coordinated building colors, accent materials, awnings,
signage, and exterior lighting.
Interior Renovations
The existing restrooms will generally remain, while the remaining restaurant-specific
partitions, fixtures, and finishes will be removed. New partitions, fixtures, and finishes will
be installed to accommodate the proposed retail layout and associated support functions.
The renovation is primarily an interior build-out within the existing building and will not
substantially alter the overall size or configuration of the primary structure, other than
removal of the rear cooler/freezer addition.
Existing Accessory Buildings
The existing accessory storage buildings on the property will remain unchanged. These
buildings will not be used as part of the GFGC LLC operation, and no improvements to
them are proposed as part of this project.
Summary
The proposed project will convert a vacant former restaurant into an active cannabis retail
use while making targeted improvements to the building and property. The project
maintains the site's existing access, parking, and general circulation while removing
restaurant-specific features and updating the building with new finishes, materials,
lighting, and signage.
The result will be a refreshed and professionally operated retail property that makes
productive use of an existing commercial site with limited changes to the established site
configuration.

Ordinances & Resolutions

Item Description:

ORD/Rezoning/Zoning Map Amendment; From M-3 Light Industrial/Commercial
Overlay District to M-1 Light Industrial District; 1100 Bunker Lake Blvd and 1138
Bunker Lake Blvd (1st Reading)

Submitted By:

Clark Palmer, Senior City Planner

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1100 Bunker Lake Blvd
DBH Properties LLC (the "Applicant") is requesting a rezoning of the property at 1100 Bunker Lake Blvd from
the Light Industrial/Commercial Overlay District (M-3) to the Light Industrial District (M-1). The Applicant,
who operates Hanson Building Materials, is requesting the rezoning to accommodate a planned building
addition and to establish a screened open storage area behind the building. The M-3 district does not allow
outside storage, while the M-1 district allows outside storage if fully screened from view. The existing site was
developed in 2017 under the current M-3 zoning. Rezoning the property to M-1 would allow the proposed
screened open storage areas.
If the first reading of the ordinance is approved, the Site Plan Review Application will be considered after
approval of the 2nd reading of the ordinance approving the rezoning. The Anoka Enterprise Park Architectural
Review Board will also consider the Site Plan Review application before appearing before the City Council.
Staff will present a preview of the Site Plan Review Application for consideration of the 1st reading of the
rezoning.
1138 Bunker Lake Blvd
The property at 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd is owned by Graco Minnesota. Graco operates its facility at 1201 Lund
Blvd, which abuts this property. Graco purchased 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd in 2023 as part of a planned building
addition and campus expansion project. Graco’s existing facility is zoned M-1, and the 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd
parcel is zoned M-3. Graco plans to demolish the existing metal buildings on the site and consolidate the
property with the rest of the campus. Staff recommends rezoning 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd from M-3 to M-1 so
that the entirety of Graco’s campus is located within one zoning district.
Current Zoning
The purpose of the M-3 overlay district is to address the unique characteristics of properties adjacent to Bunker
Lake Boulevard, west of St. Francis Boulevard. The M-3 Light Industrial/Commercial Overlay District is
established to provide exemplary standards of development for certain industrial and commercial uses as well as
multifamily residential uses in this district. These uses shall maintain high standards of appearance, including
open spaces and landscaping; limit external effects such as noise, odors, smoke and vibration; and not require a
high level of public services.
Proposed Zoning
The M-1 Light Industrial District is established to provide exemplary standards of development for certain
industrial uses. The M-1 Light Industrial District is intended for administrative, wholesaling, manufacturing and
related uses which can maintain high standards of appearance, including open spaces and landscaping; limit
external effects such as noise, odors, smoke and vibration; and not require a high level of public services.

PLANNING COMMISSION
The Planning Commission reviewed the Application and held a public hearing at their regular meeting on
October 6, 2026. The Planning Commission staff report is included in your packet. The Planning Commission
determined there were no conflicts with the approval criteria (included in the staff report) for the proposed
rezoning and recommended approval of the application subject to the following condition:
1. A Site Plan Review approval shall be granted for the proposed building addition and open storage area
for 1100 Bunker Lake Blvd, and denial of the site plan shall result in the rezoning being nullified. The
rezoning of 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd shall not be tied to approval of the Site Plan Review for 1100
Bunker Lake Blvd.

Application A2026-012
Rezoning/Zoning Map Amendment
From M-3 Light Industrial/Commercial Overlay District to M-1 Light Industrial District
1100 Bunker Lake Blvd and 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd

BACKGROUND
1100 Bunker Lake Blvd
DBH Properties LLC is requesting a rezoning of the property at 1100 Bunker Lake Blvd from
the Light Industrial/Commercial Overlay District (M-3) to the Light Industrial District (M-1).
The applicant, who operates Hanson Building Materials, is requesting the rezoning to
accommodate a planned building addition and to establish a screened open storage area behind
the building. The M-3 district does not allow outside storage, while the M-1 district allows
outside storage if fully screened from view. The existing site was developed in 2017 under the
current M-3 zoning. Rezoning the property to M-1 would allow the proposed screened open
storage areas.
1138 Bunker Lake Blvd
The property at 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd is owned by Graco Minnesota. Graco operates its
facility at 1201 Lund Blvd, which abuts this property. Graco purchased 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd
in 2023 as part of a planned building addition and campus expansion project. Graco’s existing
facility is zoned M-1, and the 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd parcel is zoned M-3. Graco plans to
demolish the existing metal buildings on the site and consolidate the property with the rest of the
campus. Staff recommends rezoning 1138 Bunker Lake Blvd from M-3 to M-1 so that the
entirety of Graco’s campus is located within one zoning district.
Current Zoning
The purpose of the M-3 overlay district is to address the unique characteristics of properties
adjacent to Bunker Lake Boulevard, west of St. Francis Boulevard. The M-3 Light
Industrial/Commercial Overlay District is established to provide exemplary standards of
development for certain industrial and commercial uses as well as multifamily residential uses in
this district. These uses shall maintain high standards of appearance, including open spaces and

Proposed Zoning
The M-1 Light Industrial District is established to provide exemplary standards of development
for certain industrial uses. The M-1 Light Industrial District is intended for administrative,
wholesaling, manufacturing and related uses which can maintain high standards of appearance,
including open spaces and landscaping; limit external effects such as noise, odors, smoke and
vibration; and not require a high level of public services.
Approval Criteria

Page 170 of 185

The planning commission and city council shall consider the following criteria when considering
a change to the zoning classification or zoning district boundary:
a. Whether the proposed amendment corrects an error or addresses a changing condition,
trend or fact;
b. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan policies;
c. Whether the proposed amendment will protect the health, safety and welfare of the
public;
d. Whether the city and other service providers will be able to provide sufficient public
safety, transportation and utility facilities and services to the subject property, while
maintaining sufficient levels of service to existing development;
e. Whether the proposed rezoning will have significant adverse impacts on the natural
environment, including air, water, noise, stormwater management and vegetation;
f. Whether the proposed amendment will have significant adverse impacts on other
property in the vicinity of the subject tract;
g. The suitability of the subject property for the existing zoning classification and proposed
zoning classification;
h. The need for the proposed use at the proposed location;
i. Any other criteria which reasonably relates to the application.
Staff finds no specific conflict with the approval criteria and the proposed rezoning.
RECOMMENDATION

1. A Site Plan Review approval shall be granted for the proposed building addition and open
storage area for 1100 Bunker Lake Blvd, and denial of the site plan shall result in the

Item Description:

Appointment to Human Rights Commission

Submitted By:

Amy Oehlers, ACM

Agenda Item # 11.1

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Staff has been advertising for vacancies on our City Boards/Commissions. A partial term vacancy exists on the
Human Rights Commission (HRC). Because this vacancy has existed for quite some time, there was no
deadline date for application submittals. As an application is submitted, it gets places on the next regular
meeting agenda for City Council consideration.
This partial term vacancy on the HRC has a term expiration of 12.31.2026.
Two applications have been received.

Colin Bothof
Jenifer Morrisette

Included in your packet are copies of the applications.
October is the month that we advertise for our Annual Boards/Commissions appointments for members that
have a term expiring 12.31.2026. This HRC vacancy has been advertised along with the slate of other positions
that have terms expiring at the end of this year. However, since this vacancy currently exists it is being brought
to the City Council for consideration of appointment at this time. The HRC has had difficulties having enough
members available to attend their month meetings; making this appointment may help that situation.
After this appointment is made I will do the following:
 Contact the individual appointed to confirm that they want their application re-submitted in December
(for re-appointment) when the City Council acts on the annual appointments.
 Contact the individual not appointed to confirm that they want their application re-submitted in
December when the City Council acts on the annual appointments.

N/A
