Page 2 Minutes/Edina Cif Council/December 2,2003 Motion carried on rollcall vote -five ayes. ORDINANCE NO. 2003-12 APPROVED, AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF EDINA CITY CODE Mr. Hughes noted the Council had granted first reading to the proposed housekeeping ordinance at their meeting November 18, 2003, with the request that Sections 3 and 5 be revised with respect to the definition of a "false alarm". Mr. Hughes stated the revisions were made and staff recommended Council grant second reading of the ordinance. Member Masica stated that she had brought up concerns regarding the language in Sections 3 and 5 that states, "alarms shall be payable by the owner of the building or premises from which the alarm was received". Member Masica said staff had indicated they bill the tenant in many cases instead of the owner. She reiterated her concern that policy and ordinance were not compatible. Attorney Gilligan said that the police department's practice of billing the tenant would be acceptable because if the bills were not paid, the City could then collect from the property owner. Mr. Gilligan said he believed that ultimately the owner of a building would be responsible for any costs incurred from false alarms. He added that the lease between the owner and tenant would be the legal means of collecting on the part of the owner. Member Housh made a motion to grant second reading to Ordinance No. 2003-12 as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 2003-12 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 475 PARKING RAMPS, SECTION 635 FALSE FIRE ALARMS, SUBSECTON 850.20 HERITAGE PRESERVATION FEE, SECTION 1020 - FALSE POLICE ALARMS, AND SUBSECTION 1200.02 STREETS AND SIDEWALKS THE CITY COUNCIL OF EDINA, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS: Section 1.

TERM Fred Richards,Chair 2/1/07 Joni Kelly Bennett 2/1/07 Dean Dovolis 2/1/07 Warren Plante 2/1/07 Marie Thorpe 2/1/06 Les Wanninger 2/1/06 Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2,2003 Jean White 2/l/06 Member Masica asked which Planning Commission member would be serving on the Transportation Commission.

Manager Hughes informed the Council an Ordinance Amendment could be on the Agenda December 16, 2003, for first reading, adding an eighth member to the roster and amend language.

Mayor Maetzold made a motion appointing the previously slate of candidates to the Transportation Commission for terms as presented. Member Kelly seconded the motion. Ayes: Housh, Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold Motion carried. AMENDMENT TO RECIPROCAL EASEMENT AGREEMENT - YORKDALE SHOPPES PARTNERS/CITY OF EDINA, APPROVED Manager Hughes indicted in 1996, the City and Yorkdale Shoppes Partners entered into a Reciprocal Easement Agreement with respect to the construction the new York Avenue Liquor Store, Cub Store and Retail Center, located to the south of the Cub Store. The Easement Agreement provided that no restaurant could be located in the retail center that sold alcoholic beverages. The restriction was imposed by the private interest in the Easement Agreement, not the City of Edina. Yorkdale Shoppes Partners is now requesting that the City consent to an amendment removing the above noted restriction. This amendment is requested to allow Chipotle, a new restaurant in the retail center, to be eligible for a liquor license. The City of Edina did not require the subject restriction at the time the Agreement was negotiated, there is no reason why the requested amendment should not be approved. Following a brief Council exchange, Member Kelly made a motion authorizing execution of the Reciprocal Easement Agreement by and between Yorkdale Shoppes Partners, LLC and the City of Edina, with respect to construction of the new York Avenue Liquor Store, Cub Store and Retail Center, located south of the Cub Store. Member Hovland seconded the motion. Ayes: Housh, Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold Motion carried. REPORT PRESENTED ON RESIDENTIAL SWIMMING POOLS Sanitarian Velde explained at the November 3, 2003, Council meeting, two appeals were heard from the Edina Residential Swimming Pool Code; 1) denial of a variance from the Construction Board of Appeals allowing an above ground swimming pool; and 2) denial of variance allowing a "swim-out" as a means of egress from the deep end of a swimming pool in lieu of a ladder. The Council denied the appeal for the above ground swimming pool on the basis that the Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2,2003 appeal to the Construction Board of Appeals was improper and should not have gone before the Council. In addition, the Council denied the appeal of a variance for the swim-out in lieu of a ladder. Mr.Velde said the Council directed staff to review both appeals and report back to the Council to consider amending the Code on both matters. The Council requested specific information on 1) definition of a swimming pool;2) safety;3) aesthetics;4) sanitation; and 5)rescue. Surrounding cities do not have as stringent regulations on residential pools as does Edina. Bloomington has the most similar regulations of the cities surveyed. The remaining communities regulate the location of the pool and require four foot high fencing as a barrier around the pool but do not regulate the design or construction of residential swimming pools. Edina City Code defines a swimming pool as "any basin for holding water, designed for human use, with a water depth greater than 24 inches". Surrounding communities and the National Spa and Pool Institute (NSPI) Model Code includes a water depth greater than 24 inches as a basis for their definition of a swimming pool. Safety - Hopkins does not require fencing around residential swimming pools. NSPI addresses fencing as an option. Decking - Edina and Bloomington require decking. NSPI model codes address decking as an option. Egress - Edina, Bloomington and Minneapolis require a means of egress from the deep end of pools. NSPI model codes address a means of egress from the deep end of the pool, such as; 1) ladder with handrails, 2) swim-out, 3) underwater seats and benches, 4) mechanical lifts; and 5) any other design providing egress. Sanitation-Edina and Bloomington require a circulation system. Rescue - Code requires a four-foot wide deck around the perimeter of a pool for accessibility to perform emergency procedures and store backboards and a gurney. Above Ground Swimming Pools - Edina's Code prohibits above ground pools. NSPI defines an above ground pool as "a removable pool that has a minimum depth of thirty-six inches (36") and a maximum water depth of forty-eight inches (48") at the wall". NSPI model code requires, 1) same circulation system, 2) water depth between 24 and 36 inches, and 3) provide same level of safety and sanitation as in-ground pools. Mr. Velde elaborated that above- ground pools pose same risk for children 0-4 years as in-ground pools. Mr. Velde concluded that provision for a swim-out at the deep end of the swimming pool in lieu of a ladder is allowed in NSPI model codes. Neighboring communities do not require a ladder at the deep end of the pool and based upon the information gathered regarding the issue, it would seem appropriate to allow other forms of egress from the deep end of swimming pools. Page 8 Minutes/Edina City Counci]VDecember 2,2003 Above ground swimming pools that meet the model code set forth in the NSPI standards would meet the safety and sanitation requirement set forth for in-ground swimming pools. The need for a deck around the perimeter of the above ground swimming pool is warranted for safety and rescue purposes. This would add to the mass of the above ground swimming pool and may have an impact on the lot coverage of a residential property. Staff recommends the following actions: 1. Amend City Code Section 450 regulating residential swimming pools to include swim-outs, underwater benches and seats as a means of egress from the deep end of the swimming pool. 2. Seek input from the public whether to amend the City Code to allow above ground swimming pools with a water depth of 36 inches or greater. 3. Not allow the use of above ground swimming pools that have a design water depth between 24 inches and 36 inches due to the lack of model standards for the design and construction of such pools. 4. Consider amending City Code Section 450 by reducing the requirement for a continuous deck around the perimeter of the swimming pool thereby allowing the installation of a "vanishing edge" feature on a swimming pool. Consideration may also be given to adopting less regulation for residential swimming pools. The minimum requirements should include fencing around the swimming pool and a building permit ensuring that the proposed pool meets the setback requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Housh asked what NSPI stands for, and voiced concern that it is a mechanism to help contractors. Mr. Velde said NSPI is the Nation Spa and Pool Institute and may be a trade organization but their model codes incorporate all the features found in the Edina Pool Ordinance. Mr. Housh inquired if communities that were surveyed had recently amended their ordinances regarding pools. Mr. Velde noted that that was not made clear with the survey but Edina historically has had a large number of pools for many years while other communities have not had the interest in regulating them as closely as we do. Mr. Housh said a swim out should be readily recognizable for a person having a problem in the pool. Mr. Hovland inquired whether Edina regulates what size a pool might be. Mr. Velde responded that when a diving board is included in the pool, there are stringent rules. Mr. Hovland indicated concern that pools have enough swim outs for persons who might have a problem. Mr. Velde said current Code states if the pool is over 30 feet wide, two means of egress are required in the deep end. Mr. Kelly said having a swim-out in the deep end of the pool is fine but he believes it is easier to see a ladder. He inquired whether there is a compelling reason to change the ordinance. Ms. Masica suggested more information be obtained before a decision is made. She asked how fencing is installed around a vanishing edge pool. Mr. Velde said fencing would surround the entire pool. Mr. Hughes suggested preparing an amendment dealing with the vanishing edge pool and the swim-out/ladder issue in residential pools. The above ground pool issue would not be a part of the amendment. Page 9 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2,2003 No formal Council action was taken. *CONFIRMATION OF CLAIMS PAID Member Hovland made a motion and Member Housh seconded the motion approving payment of the following claims as shown in detail on the Check Register dated November 19, 2003, and consisting of 29 pages: General Fund $176,834.92, Communications Fund $3,246.62; Working Capital Fund $1,088,644.43; Construction Fund $78,043.83; Art Center Fund $2,161.68; Golf Dome Fund $6,670.98; Aquatic Center Fund $1,309.39; Golf Course Fund 8,639.75$; Ice Arena Fund $27,129.97; Edinborough/Centennial Lakes Fund $24,265.61; Liquor Fund $139,524.04; Utility Fund $352,135.90; Storm Sewer Fund $9,913.66; PSTF Agency Fund $935.35, TOTAL $1,919,456.13; and for approval of payment of claims dated November 25, 2003, consisting of 29 pages: General Fund $161,240.95; Communication Fund $2,964.22; Working Capital Fund $120,251.88; Art Center Fund $25,255.11; Golf Dome Fund $218.11; Aquatic Center Fund $1,701.00; Golf Course Fund $2,688.90; Ice Arena Fund $470.85; Edinborough/Centennial Lakes Fund $6,523.18; Liquor Fund $149,926.24; Utility Fund $40,456.49; PSTF Agency Fund $642.80;TOTAL$512,339.73. Motion carried on rollcall vote-five ayes. FIRST READING GRANTED FOR ORDINANCE NO. 2003-13 - AMENDING CODE SECTION 185 INCREASING CERTAIN FEES Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Mr. Hughes noted that Ordinance No. 2003-13 proposed an increase in on-sale liquor fees, thereby requiring a public hearing. Mayor Maetzold called for public comments. No one appeared to speak. Member Housh made a motion closing the public hearing. Member Hovland seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Housh,Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold Motion carried. Mr. Hovland asked why dog license fees were dropped so significantly. Mr. Siitari said there was a two-tiered system with the first year at a higher price. This simplifies the fee after examination, and actually raises the renewal fee. Mr. Maetzold asked why there is a fee for a residential variance. Mr. Hughes said staff thought it best to make a request for a sign variance have the same fee as a regular variance. Fees differentiate between residential and non-residential rates. Non-residential rates are normally complicated and take an inordinate amount of time. Mr. Hovland inquired about the fireworks fee. Mr. Hughes stated the fee complies with State Statute. Mr. Hovland asked why the conditional use fee is now a flat fee. Mr. Hughes responded that a flat fee had always been charged. Mr. Hovland asked about the fee for an application filing for a street alley or easement. Mr. Hughes noted that vacations are complex and take a lot of staff time. Page 10 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2,2003 Ms. Masica asked how many different fees there are for redemption of impounded vehicles. Mr. Hughes said it is a fee that passes through the City for towing, impound and storage of vehicles. What the fees end up being, are fees the towing service charges. They are bid on an annual basis. The administrative fee would be the ticket for being towed. Mr. Housh left the meeting at 8:35 P.M. Member Hovland made a motion granting first reading for Ordinance No. 2003-13, Increasing Fees in Section 185 as proposed. Member Kelly seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2003-82 - APPROVING YEAR 2004 PARK AND RECREATION FEES AND CHARGES Manager Hughes said the only unresolved fee at the recent Park Board meeting was relating to Adventure Peak at Edinborough Park. Director Keprios has included a proposed fee structure in his report and recommendation. Mr. Kelly said he did not believe the fee structure for Adventure Peak should be changed except in the case of a fee reduction for Edina residents. Mr. Maetzold voiced concern with affordability with persons on a limited income. Mr. Housh suggested giving Edina residents a cut in price since Edina funds were used to build the structure. Ms. Masica inquired whether a capacity had been reached at any time yet. Mr. Keprios said he did not believe this has occurred yet. Ms. Masica concurred that the fee for Edina residents should be lower than non-residents. Mr. Keprios reminded the Council that scholarships are available through the Edina Foundation for financially challenged residents. Member Kelly made a motion approving Resolution No. 2003-82, 2004 Park and Recreation Fees and Charges and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2003-82 SETTING 2004 PARK AND RECREATION FEES BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council does hereby approve and set the following 2004 Park and Recreation Fees.

RESOLUTION NO. 2003-81 - APPROVING YEAR 2004 AMBULANCE FEES Chief Scheerer explained that Resolution No. 2003-81 represents an increase in Ambulance Fees for 2004. Mr. Maetzold inquired about Medicare reimbursement. Mr. Scheerer said reimbursement stands at approximately$400.00 in 2004. Member Kelly introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2003-81 SETTING AMBULANCE FEES FOR 2004 BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council does hereby approve and set the following ambulance service fees for 2004. AMBULANCE FEES Service Level Fees for Ambulance Service, including medical treatment and/or transportation to a medical facility: 2004 Level 1-ON SCENE TREATMENT $265.00 Specialized medical services performed at scene with no transport involved Page 18 Minutes/Edina Ci!y Council/December 2,2003 Level 2-MINOR CARE (BLS) $575.00 Vital Signs Splinting Bandaging,etc. Level 3-MODERATE CARE (ALS) $705.00 IV,Nitrous,Nitro Spray, ASA EKG Monitoring Spine Immobilization Level 4-MAJOR CARE $885.00 Medications PCT (inflated) Cardiac Pacing Cardioversion Interosseous Infusions Airway Management Level 5 - RESPIRATORY/CARDIAC $990.00 ARREST Level IV plus any: Cardio/ Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Defibrillation OXYGEN ADMINISTRATION $39.00 MILEAGE FROM SCENE TO HOSPITAL $12.00/mile ADDITIONAL MANPOWER OR $440.00/hour MECHANICAL EXTRICATION 1 hour minimum Member Hovland seconded the motion. Rollcall: Ayes: Hovland, Kelly, Masica, Maetzold Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2003-80 -YEAR 2004 MISCELLANEOUS FEES Chief Scheerer explained the fees relate primarily to the Fire Department and Planning Department and are being raised approximately 5% for 2004. One new fee has been added - Gas Line Rupture Response at $330.00. This refers to contractors that are negligent in following markings depicted by Gopher State One. The fee is rarely used but the contractors would be responsible. They hope to impose a mutual aid agreement during 2004 that would take affect after 10 hours of service during a natural disaster. FEMA would possibly reimburse the fee since a fee schedule is in place. Ms. Masica inquired what is the deciding point when fees are charged. Mr. Scheerer responded it would be obvious negligence such as a tanker tip over with a fuel spill, etc., and would then be considered a chargeable fee. Mr. Hovland asked about the difference between the Special Operations Team at $600.00 per hour and the Limited Response at $165.00 per hour. Mr. Scheerer explained being on standby at a fire is considered limited response. Member Kelly introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2003-80 SETTING MISCELLANEOUS FEES FOR 2004 Page 19 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 2,2003 BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council does hereby approve and set the following miscellaneous fees for 2004: SPECIALIZED RESPONSE 2004 Engine/Fire Company $330.00/hour* Ladder Company $440.00/hour* HazMat Unit $500.00/hour* Special Operations Team $600.00/hour* Limited Response $165.00/hour* Gas Line Rupture Response $330.00/hour* Specialized Equipment Cost + 15% administrative charge Supplies Cost+ 15%administrative charge Disposal Cost+ 15%administrative charge Other City Resources Cost+ 15%administrative charge Ambulance Standby $155.00/hour * Charges are per hour PLANNING DEPARTMENT 2004 Zoning Compliance Letter $150.00 Member Masica seconded the motion.
