Facts:
101 Oakwood Road Discussion
On 11/16/18, 101 Oakwood was purchased by 1321 7th Street LLC for $275,000
On 12/6/18, there was a contract for sale between 1321 7th Street LLC and Ninety N
Ninety LLC for $375,000. Ninety N Ninety LLC has #�e,sa�e.address as 1321 7th Street LLC ��'`
The owner of 101 Oakwood Road, according to Hennepin County Tax Records, is 1321
Street LLC. The manager and taxpayer of 1321 7th Street LLC is Patrick Doolittle and the
registered address is in Long Lake. According to the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor, my understanding
is that Mr poolittle is a convicted felon; he served time in prison from 1989-1994 for possession
of cocaine and the intent to distribute.
Kevin Stanton is the agent for Ninety N Ninety LLC and currently lives at 101 Oakwood
Road. Mr. Stanton has been renting rooms in this house to at least 7 different men over the
past several months, which is against city code.
101 Oakwood Road consistently has had at least 4-5 cars parked around it and
sometimes up to 8-9. This is another violation of city code.
According to Liz Page, in a recent meeting with the city, Mr. Stanton stated he intended
to use the house as a Spiritual Lodge/Rehab house for men with or without alcohol/drug
problems.
Agamim is a school that is located in San Gabriel church, directly across the street from
101 Oakwood Road. The current enrollment at Agamim is �300 students.
The traffic caused by the excess parking at 1010akwood Road makes the intersection of
Oakwood Road and Bqyce very dangerous, especially around school drop-off and pick-up times.
Concerns:
We are concerned about the safety of our families and of all the children at the school
and in our neighborhood. The number of cars going to and from 1010akwood Road, at all
different times of the day and night, make the intersection of Oakwood and Boyce more
dangerous than it already is. The park at the school, which is kitty-corner from 1010akwood is
used frequently by many children. Cars routinely run the stop sign of this intersection. More
cars coming and going from that property make it more likely there will be an accident at some
point.
We are concerned about the lack of knowledge of the tenants of 1010akwood Road.
Have background checks been done already? Is it safe for our children to ride their bikes on the
streets and play at the park? According to American Addiction Centers.org, the relapse rate for
substance use disorders is between 40-60%. I know these stats personally as my father was an
alcoholic. Simply put, the odds of relapse are high- are you willing to put all these children at
risk
Questions:
Is the agent, Mr. Stanton, the actual owner of the house? He's listed as the agent, but
from the tax records, it looks like 13217th Street LLC(Patrick Doolittle) is paying the taxes.
Would that nullify the rental application as Mr. Stanton is listed as the owner?
How does the city verify background checks? If there is a criminal history with one of the
tenants, would we(the neighbors) know about it?
Is the rental application only for 30+ day leases? If his tenants are renting for < 30
days(ie a couple days, a week, etc), doesn't he need to file for a short-term rental under the
Bed and Breakfast standards- Section 530.09.u? We have seen multiple cars and multiple men
coming and going from 101 Oakwood. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Stanton or Mr. Doolittle
has some very short rentals.
What are the requirements for a rehab/house, if any? Are there any precautions or
additional requirements that he has to comply with to establish this type of house? Do the
tenants get tested to make sure they are clean? If one of them relapses, is he required to evict
them?
Summary:
Everyone deserves a second chance- I am 100% behind rehab and giving everyone an
opportunity to have a chance at making a better life. All of that said, I question the logic of
having such an establishment, so close to a church, a school and a neighborhood full of kids. All
it takes is one incident- you don't have to look further than the 11 year-old St. Paul student that
was hit by a driver earlier this week. Nobody wants that situation to happen in our
neighborhood. By allowing this rental property to go forward, I worry that the chances of some
type of incident increases dramatically.
Thank you for your time and attention.

St. Louis Park council renews Excel Pawn license despite
controversy
By Seth Rowe Dec 16, 2013
The St. Louis Park City Council granted a license to an owner of Excel Pawn and Jewelry despite a
complaint regarding an owner's conviction for possession of cocaine with intent to sell.
The council had been poised to approve a currency exchange license renewal forthe business, 8008
Minnetonka Blvd., when public hearing speaker Scott Lansing spoke against the renewal Nov. 18.
Lansing pointed out partial owner�����ick po�I�tles 'f�9 conv�c��on fo��passessiQn ofcvca�ne r�vtt#��
tn��i� d,� r.�b��e�Q���e;�L�g=La�Ce,.serv�d time in prison 1�989�'i�44 �:
Lansing accused the owners of Excel Pawn of falsifying an application "by not listing who the real
owners are or misstating the criminal record of the owners;' an accusation a subsequent city
investigation did not support.
Lansing accused him of selling cocaine at the Maplewood Excel Pawn location as well. Excel Pawn
responded later by stating Doolittle was not arrested at the pawn shop but rather as part of a sweep
of an adjacent parking lot that did not result in any charges against Doolittle.
Speaking after Lansing during the council meeting, Doolittle responded,;`�me'=o�tTe �t�irips �� �# j�r.

The council responded Nov. 18 by postponing a vote until law enforcement officials could further
investigate the matter.
Councilmember Anne Mavity proposed the delay, saying she did not know how substantive the
claims were and whether city reviews had been thorough. She indicated she believed in the ability
for an individual to reform, though.

5/7/2019 St. Louis Park council renews Excel Pawn license despite controversy � Local News � hometownsource.com
"I believe in redemption for whatever;' Mavity said. "Whatever someone has done in the past, we
certainly want to encourage people to be productive members of our community moving forward:'
The St. Louis Park City Council considered the application again in a special meeting Nov. 25.
Further city investigation indicated Doolittle had been arrested in 2000 on suspicion of felony
possession of a controlled substance, according to a city staff report prepared by City Clerk Nancy
Stroth. However, he was never charged in the incident.
Lansing also referenced a 2005 incident involving a vehicle forfeiture, but the staff report states that
no evidence exists that Doolittle engaged in any illegal conduct in connection with the incident.
Doolittle has been listed on pawn broker license applications since 2008, the report states. The city
does not retain applications from years prior to that. Dolittle did disclose his cocaine conviction on
the city pawn broker application, and St. Louis Park officials did not find any inaccuracies in the city
pawn brvker license applications.
A copy of a 2008 application indicates the applicants stated Doolittle had been charged with a
federal felony drug charge when he was 19 years old. It also states he had been held in association
with a case in Ramsey County but that he cooperated with police and was not charged.
It also discloses that Doolittle had been charged with violating a restraining order when he dropped
off his daughter at his ex-wife's house but that the case was dropped. The application also notes
Doolittle's treatment at Hazelden, where he became a group leader and sponsor.
"Excel Pawn overall has run a good operation in St. Louis Park;' states the city staff report. "The
owners and manager have been cooperative and responsive to any police concerns. There are some
minor licensing issues relating to the pawn operation which will be addressed as part of the pawn
broker license renewal:'
City Attorney Tom Scott said the licensing issues related to pawning motor vehicles, primarily
motorcycles.
"That's probably going to need to stop;' Scott said.
The staff report states that a Minnesota statute prohibits the city from denying a license as a result
of a criminal conviction that does to directly relate to the requested license.

5/7l2019 St. Louis Park council renews Excel Pawn license despite controversy � Local News � hometownsource.com
"There is no such direct relationship between the 1989 cocaine conviction and the currency
exchange license," the staff report states. "Additionally, the state statute provides that even if the
crime relates directly to the licensed activity, the person is not disqualified if he or she shows
competent evidence of rehabilitation and present fitness to perform the licensed activity. Here, there
is competent evidence of rehabilitation and the good track record of the business in St. Louis Park
demonstrates a fitness to continue to hold the currency license."
Excel Pawn sent the St. Louis Park City Council a letter Nov. 20 accusing Lansing of misrepresenting
facts and omitting other facts. Excel Pawn specifically stated Lansing did not mention in his
statement that he had sued Excel Pawn seeking forgiveness of about 200 loans from the St. Louis
Park Excel Pawn store between 2010 and 2012.
Excel Pawn's letter also points to a letter from Lansing's attorney regarding his intention to speak
before the council Nov. 18 and then offering a settlement.
"Put simply, that demand was a blatant admission of an improper intent to use this public comment
process to coerce a financial settlement," the Excel Pawn letter states.
Another police memo cites positive contacts with Excel Pawn and the organization's beneficial
working relationship with the police department.
Excel Pawn also provided a money service business audit by Wells Fargo from last year to
demonstrate its good financial standing.
Numerous individuals submitted character references for poolittle, including his ex-wife.
Lansing submitted 34 documents he claimed supported his position.
During the Nov. 25 special county meeting, Scott said the city did not include all of those documents
in the public record provided online for the meeting because it would have been impractical but that
city staff had reviewed all of them. Lansing brought a tall stack of documents with him to the
meeting.
However, Lansing failed to convince the City Council to see the matter his way at the Nov. 25
meeting.

3"I feel our staff, including our police department and our attorney, have reviewed these documents,
and they have decided they are not relevant to what we're deciding;' Mavity said at the Nov. 25
meeting.
Councilmember Susan Sanger said, "To me it's pretty clear that there's not a basis for denial. There's
been an attempt to drag the city into a personal dispute, which is inappropriate."
The council voted unanimously to approve the license renewal. After the vote and despite the
controversy, Doolittle held the door for Lansing on the way out of the meeting room.
