2007-08-31 Friday NewsCITY HALL — STORM DAMAGE Due to the Tuesday morning storm, power was lost at City Hall at 3:00 am. The Emergency Backup Generator responded within a few seconds and restored power to the Police Department, computer servers and the building's 24/7 security lighting. Power was restored at 7:45 am (5 hour lapse). Two trees were lost, a large 25 foot spruce and an 8" Ash trees, adjacent to the lower level parking lot along Lexington, and numerous small twigs and leaves covered squad and employee's cars in the lower lot. There was storm damage located throughout the City, but it was generally in the areas south of Emerson Avenue. Hardest hit areas were south of TH110, a number of downed trees blocked roads in the Curley and Friendly Hills neighborhoods. Several trees fell on homes and other structures. A large area of power was out in the center of the City from Delaware Avenue to Highway 13 to Mendota Heights Road. Along with trees down at City Hall, the City was also affected with power out at several Sanitary Sewer Lift Stations and we had many trees down in the parks, the Par 3 and in the boulevards. The Fire Department responded to seven calls for service, the most serious of which was a large tree that was uprooted on Vail that severed a natural gas service line. The City's residents who were affected with downed trees have been calling City Hall asking for help in removal. The City has a limited number of maintenance workers and we are unable to dedicate any of them to picking up tree branches for the residents. None of our neighboring Cities are picking up their residents branches, either (IGH, WSP, SSP, Eagan) The City's forces all responded admirably for this event. Thank you all! PILOT KNOB PHASE 2 Great River Greening was selected by the City Council to prepare a "Management and Restoration Plan" for the fifteen acre parcel, east of Pilot Knob Road, that Acacia Cemetery has offered for sale. This parcel would be combined with the existing City owned Pilot Knob Phase site and restored to vegetative conditions that existed in the 1850's. On Thursday September 6th City staff will meet with GRG to "kick-off' preparation of the management plan. Adoption by Council of this management plan is a condition imposed by two of the funding grants the City is seeking to help purchase the site. Staff intends to attend upcoming Planning and Park Commission meetings to present an overview of the project, discuss draft restoration plan(s) and to hold a Public Hearing/Open House on November 13th at a Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. City Hall will be closed Monday in observance of Labor Day.

Steve Grittman, Sue McDermott, Paul Berg and Jake Sedlacek were present. Mike Krajniak, 535 West Marie Mr. Krajniak was sent a notice of code violation for excavating a wetland. Mr. Krajniak stated not being aware of the wetland, and reported that his neighbor regularly mowed the wetland next door, as evidenced by cat -tails and other wetland plants. Staff discussed the wetlands ordinance, and asked Mr. Krajniak if he would allow engineering staff to access his property to delineate where the wetland started. Mr. Krajniak agreed, and intends to do his landscaping outside of the wetland area. Staff will follow up with Mr. Krajniak. Bob Hauck, Haukck Landscape Development, re. 1242 Culligan Lane Mr. Hauck is working with the residents at 1242 Culligan Lane to modify their home with the addition of a single floor addition for a mother in law. The property is in the Critical Area, and has some non -conforming setbacks. A number of options were discussed for the addition which would fit within setback requirements. Staff also provided Mr. Hauck with a Critical Area Permit, and explained the planning process. Mr. Hauck was going back to the clients, and application is anticipated for either the September or October Planning Commission meetings. Dale Glowa, United Properties Mr. Glowa came in to discuss the Comprehensive Plan Update; Jim Danielson joined the meeting for this portion. Mr. Glowa discussed the few remaining parcels in the industrial park, and how the Comprehensive Land Use Plan might help the further development of the park.

Planning Meeting 8/27/2007 Page 2 of 2 Page I of 2 Article Last: Updated:08/74/2007 11.:46.28 Ply CDT Take an affluent area. Put in a small neighborhood market. Add a wine bar Sage Market and Wine Bar owner Bob Kowalski thought he had a pretty good idea, but he knew keen execution was key to making the Mendota Heights concept he opened last October successful. Despite his lengthy grocery resume, he knew he needed help. Lucky for him, help walked in not long after he flipped on the lights. Craigslist would bring him more. Even luckier for him, the help was Steve Applebaum and Chris Dick, who came with ideas from many years working the aisles of some of the Twin Cities most formidable grocery stores. Applebaum and Dick now walk the aisles of Kowalski's small market. Applebaum's family ran the Applebaum's chain until it was sold in 1979. Family members then founded Rainbow Foods. Dick also comes from a long line of Twin Cities grocers, including his father who most recently ran three stores. "There's a lot of respect for these names," said Kowalski, who used to work for his family's Kowalski's grocery chain. "When I worked for my brother, Jim Kowalski, these were names we respected." The three men hope to make a mark in what's increasingly a big -box business, only on their own terms. "You cannot compete with the big guys. Period," Kowalski said. The most dominant grocery store chains in the Twin Cities are Cub Foods, followed by Rainbow Foods, now owned by Milwaukee - based Roundy's. They tout low prices and big selection. At the upper end, Kowalski's, Lunds and Byerly's dominate. A smattering of small independent markets and specialty grocery stores operate throughout the Twin Cities, but they face growing competition. Target is expanding its SuperTarget concept here. Wal-Mart is doing the same with its Supercenters. Warehouse clubs Costco and Sam's Club are also in the fray. And even home improvement stores are adding groceries to attract convenience - hungry shoppers. Instead of tangling with the big boxes, Kowalski is trying to carve out a niche for Sage Market, targeting shoppers who stop in to sip wine, enjoy a snack and pick up a few groceries. He's backed by investors who provided startup money and his "all-star staff," who've helped him tweak the concept. Located in the new Village at Mendota Heights, the shop is something of a refuge for the three men who sit on the leather couches in the wine bar for their morning meetings over coffee. Applebaum, who has known Kowalski for years, lives near the market and walked in and asked for a job soon after it opened. Applebaum, 66, orders the groceries. Dick, 28, is the general manager and was hired soon after Applebaum. He saw a posting at Craigslist and chatted for 15 minutes with Kowalski to land his position. When either Applebaum or Dick tell Kowalski what to do, the boss listens. "Nobody's getting fired when they tell me they don't like my ideas," Kowalski said. Already, the market's gone through major changes. Kowalski originally envisioned the concept as a wine bar and a sort of food boutique with olive oils, artisan cheeses and other specialty products. Applebaum and Dick helped Kowalski see that customers wanted the basics. Now, the market carries a little bit of everything. There's milk, frozen pizza, ketchup and Kraft macaroni and cheese, as well as greeting cards, magazines, flowers and a deli. Some suppliers might not have wanted to deliver to a single store, but Applebaum has been able to persuade his longtime contacts http://www.twincities.com/portlet/article/html/fragments/print article. j sp?articlel d=671 3 805 &site... 8/27/2007 Page 2 of 2 to work with Sage Market Applebaum worked for the chain of grocery stores bearing his last name. He later worked as part of a team led by his uncle Sid Applebaum developing Rainbow Foods. Steve Applebaum later operated a grocery store on West Seventh Street in St. Paul for a few years but found he couldn't compete for the price -conscious shopper. He's worked in the grocery business since then for other grocers, who value his relationships with vendors. "He was a very integral part of the Applebaum success," said Dale Riley, owner of Fresh Seasons Market in Minnetonka and once president of Byerly's. Kowalski, 56, is related to the family behind the Kowalski's chain, where he worked his way up over 20 years to vice president of marketing until leaving in 2003 to work as a consultant in the food industry. He and wife Kristen co-own the Wine Market in the same development. Dick had hoped to work in his family business. His grandfather and father's cousin ran grocery stores. His father ran three Minnesota and Wisconsin supermarkets, including Our Family Foods in Lakeville where Dick rose to store manager. But big -box competition became too intense. His father, nearing retirement, closed the Lakeville store in 2003 as well as stores in Rockford and Milltown, Wis., last year. That left Dick looking for work. "All of a sudden everything you've worked for and you know is not an option anymore," Dick said. "You have to think about what to do next." He didn't have to think long, though, before spotting the opening at Sage Market, which he considers a neat spin on the grocery business. "You see the direct result of everything you do here," Dick said. Sage Market has yet to make money. Even so, Kowalski already believes the concept of a combined grocery and wine bar has the potential to go national. "It's an interesting concept," said Jim McComb, a Minneapolis-based retail consultant. "That's what retailing is about, people trying different things to see if they catch on."

More skepticism to fuel the competitive fire burning within Waldvogel, the 5 -foot -9, 153 -pound senior wingback and inspirational leader for St. Thomas Academy. There are no doubting Thomases among Cadets who have watched Waldvogel dart and slither through defenders into end zones the past three seasons. He also has a message for holdover cynics convinced St. Thomas' secret weapon has been compromised. 'it doesn't really bug me anymore. I kind of use it to my advantage," Waldvogel, who identifies himself by his middle name, says of the persistent questions about his diminutive stature. "I've always had to work harder than anyone else it seems like. I'll work harder than you and beat you. "It's kind of a mental game." Fearless words from a maverick who seems one blind -side hit from ending up in traction. Of course, that would require a wide-eyed linebacker or safety to square up on a wily ball carrier who pinballed his way to 12 all-purpose touchdowns last season. Each fall, people ask Cadets basketball coach Mike Sjoberg whether he worries about his starting point guard getting carried off the field in a stretcher or something more ominous. "You would think he would just get broke in half, but nobody ever gets a clean shot on him," Sjoberg said. Validation can be found in Waldvogel's breakout junior year, when he rushed for eight touchdowns and averaged almost 11 yards a carry. He also caught 40 passes for 592 yards and four more touchdowns. On kickoffs, Waldvogel averaged an eyepopping 29.3 yards a return. Using lack of size to his advantage, Waldvogel gained most of his yards from scrimmage on reverses from his wingback position. Staying out of the defense's sightline, he would bolt into the secondary and blow past unsuspecting defenders. Teams that scouted the play were often left flat-footed because their linebackers and safeties simply could not find Waldvogel amid the chaos. As expected, Cadets coach Dave Ziebarth is keeping his new schemes close to the vest, though one should expect more offensive deception with Waldvogel this season. "We can line him up in many different ways, in the backfield, at wideout, in the slot. We do have a couple of little tricks in mind to get him the ball as often as possible," Ziebarth said. St. Thomas Academy is coming off a bittersweet 2006 season that included a 12-2 record and a Classic Suburban Conference championship. But the Cadets lost to Totino -Grace in the Class AAAA championship game of the Prep Bowl, an agonizing defeat that gnawed at Waldvogel all winter. Determined to taste victory at the state basketball tournament, he and senior Billy Lawrence told their teammates in the locker room at Target Center before the Class AAA title game against Benilde-St. Margaret's that losing was not an option. St. Thomas won the game handily, 56-40. "Knowing what it's like to be at the top and the bottom, I never want to feel that pain at the bottom ever again," Waldvogel said. Ziebarth believes his team grew from the experience of coming oh -so -close to a state championship at the Metrodome. He'll need considerable growth from his incoming senior class to return to the title game. The Cadets lost a ton of playmaking experience on both sides of the ball to graduation, including Lawrence (St. John's University) and quarterback Tim McManus (Dartmouth). Still, Waldvogel envisions the Cadets back at the Metrodome this November. He plans to leave every ounce of energy in his 153 -pound body on the field whenever the final gun sounds. "I don't want to leave the season with any regrets and say, 'Oh, I wish I would have done that,'" he said. "I want to go out knowing I did everything I could and so later, when I'm 40, 1 won't be like, 'I wish I did that in high school.'"
