RESOLUTION NO. 2007-121 ADOPTED APPROVING GATEWAY PROTECT ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE REVIEW (AUAR) Affidavits of Notice were presented approved and ordered placed on file. Page 1 Minutes/Edina City Council/November 5,2007 Planning Director Teague noted the City has received a request for a significant mixed use development proposal in the Pentagon Park Area at 77th Street and Highway 100. The amount of development expected triggered the need for an environmental review. The City of Edina chose the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) as the method of study. He reported that study had been completed. Mr. Teague said by adopting the Final AUAR, any redevelopment that would be proposed within the study area would need to meet the mitigation measures outlined within the document. If the density of a development proposal exceeded the densities that were analyzed, the AUAR would need to be updated. State law requires that the AUAR be updated every five years until redevelopment within the study area has been approved. He added adopting the AUAR would not authorize any redevelopment project, nor would it replace or overrule any of the normal Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Ordinance required hearings, project review, or other city approvals. It simply was a vehicle for identifying and evaluating any and all potential project environmental impacts prior to an official development application. Mr. Teague introduced Andrea Moffatt of WSB & Associates, Consultants for the AUAR who gave a presentation on the Gateway AUAR. She reminded the Council that the Gateway area was the 135 acres between TH100, the Fred Richards Golf Course, France Avenue and the border with Bloomington. Ms. Moffatt said the purpose of the AUAR was to identify environmental impacts associated with development within the study area. Ms. Moffatt noted four scenarios had been reviewed as previously described to the Council. She reminded that at the October 2, 2007, Council meeting, the City Council has authorized the final ten day comment period on the AUAR. That period was closed and the comments had been incorporated into the Final AUAR before the Council. The Council discussed their questions and concerns with city staff and Consultants Andrea Moffatt and Chuck Rickert of WSB & Associates. These included: phasing of the mitigation schedule,the City would decide who will pay for any updates to the AUAR, the AUAR would need to be updated if development was not accomplished within five years, the timeline for housing projections update,the concern with the City of Bloomington's comments regarding the sewer interceptor and a request for a chart showing mitigation efforts as they are proposed over are proposed over a specific timeline. No public comment was received. Member Housh made a motion, seconded by Member Bennett to close the public hearing. Ayes: Bennett,Housh,Masica,Swenson, Hovland Motion carried.

MORNINGSIDE WATER REPORT Public Works Director/City Engineer Houle introduced the people that would be taking part in the report on the Morningside Water. They included: Karla Peterson, Minnesota Department of Health-Community Public Water Supply Unit,Supervisor; Chris Catlin, City of Minneapolis - Superintendent, Water Plant Operations; Naeem Qureshi - Progressive Consulting Engineers, longtime consultant on City of Edina Water system; Roger Glanzer, City of Edina- Utility Superintendent,Jesse Struve,City of Edina-Utility Engineer. Mr. Houle began by stating that red water issues have been increasing within the Morningside Neighborhood of Edina. He said the Morningside neighborhood was supplied water by the City of Minneapolis, which has a water source the Mississippi River. The point of entry to the Morningside neighborhood is located at West 40th Street and France Avenue. Water is distributed through a 16 inch watermain running along France Avenue to West 42nd Street where the pipe reduces to 12 inches. The 12 inch watermain then is looped through the neighborhood along West 42nd Street to Grimes Avenue then along Grimes Avenue to Morningside Road and then to France Avenue and then back West 42nd Street. Smaller water mains (six and eight inches) branch from the 12 inch main to service the neighborhood. With the exception of a few watermains replaced in 1977, the neighborhoods watermains were installed between 1928 and 1969. Original watermain pipes were unlined cast iron pipe (CIP),while the newer pipe was lined ductile iron pip (DIP). The 1977 additions were completed to provide better looping of the system. Looping increases pressure in the pipes and help reduce stagnate water in the lines. Stagnate water can potentially lead to settlement of iron type particles in the pipes,poor taste,and pressure issues. Naeem Qureshi, Progressive Consulting Engineers, noted the Environmental Protection Agency EPA has developed standards for maintaining safety water. He stated the Primary Standard was health Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/November 5,2007 related and that water was tested for 87 contaminants to ensure compliance. If a sample was found exceeding any of 87 standards, notification of residents and corrective action would be required. Mr. Qureshi said there were also secondary standards which were mainly aesthetic and not health related. He said that after a review of the Primary Standards of the water presently had no violations of the primary standards and it was safe to drink Edina water. Mr. Houle said that as part of the short term solutions, Edina has been continuously flushing the system through a hose at 40th Street and Lynn Avenue. He called upon Chris Catlin from City of Minneapolis to talk about the nitrification. Chris Catlin, City of Minneapolis, Superintendent, Water Plant Operations, said that water when it left the water plant in Minneapolis met all the primary and secondary standards Mr. Qureshi recently spoke to; however, the water then traveled in pipes, both in Minneapolis and Edina, which were made of unlined cast iron. Over the years deposits and rust have formed on the inside of the pipes. Mr. Catlin displayed a graphic showing a pipe with deposits on the inside. He stated that non pathogenic bacteria grow on the deposits. Ninety-nine percent of the time the water flows through the pipes with no consequence,however, about one percent of the time, one of the chemicals added to the water during treatment (ammonia) gets transformed into nitrates and nitrites which would be of no safety concern,but the process lowers the ph of the water turning it more corrosive. As a result of this some of the deposits inside the pipe are loosened and flow through the pipes ending up in the water flowing into residents' homes. Mr. Catlin said this was happening in both Minneapolis and Edina more than usual most likely because of the warmer temperatures. From a public health standpoint, water leaving the Minneapolis plant and arriving in home is meeting the standards as outlined by Mr. Qureshi. He said in the City of Minneapolis, the solution would be to clean the cast iron pipes then line the pipes with concrete. Mr. Catlin said he believed that Minneapolis and Edina staff have had some discussion about partnering in a pipe relining project. Council members' questions for Mr. Catlin included: was the pipe tested in Edina sufficient so as to be relined, how many years had Minneapolis employed the cleaning and relining of their pipes, long term success of the relined pipes, timing of pipe relining projects in Minneapolis, length of life of iron pipes. Mr. Catlin explained that he believed Minneapolis has employed the relining of pipes for about ten years with great success. He said that per the test report of Edina he would say the pipes in the area would be sufficient for relining. In Minneapolis pipe relining is undertaken between May and October since temporary water supplies are maintained by running yellow pipes along the ground during the project. Cleaning and relining of the pipes has been very successful. Mr. Catlin said that depending upon the acidity of the surrounding soil;iron pipes can last 100 years and more. Karla Peterson, Minnesota Department of Health-Community Public Water Supply Unit,Supervisor, stated she was an engineer with the Minnesota Department of Health and a supervisor in the Community Water Supply Unit. She said she had both Minneapolis and Edina. Speaking to the testing of the water Ms. Peterson noted that one sample was positive for total coliform, but negative for any e coli. She said the sample was taken from a kitchen tap and said that many times the tap itself was dirty. The tap could be flamed and another sample taken. Ms. Peterson said that regarding the iron content in the test that 1.8 parts per million was typical for Minnesota water and added that iron bacteria will be present and grow in the pipes especially when they are pitted and have build up. Minnesota has adopted the EPA's standards for the 87 contaminants. Ms. Peterson said she felt Edina had been proactive in addressing the issue of red water. Council asked if the positive test for total coliform should be repeated and Ms. Peterson replied that it was very normal to have a positive test, and reiterated it could have been the tap from where the sample was taken. Mr. Houle stated that short term Public Works will continually flush the system and monitor the chlorine levels. Longer term staff will be suggesting relining the pipes. Mr. Houle said this would be Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/November 5,2007 a multi year process. He said that when speaking with Minneapolis staff about the process the question was asked if an entire neighborhood such as Morningside could be accomplished in one year. Minneapolis staff explained that when relining the pipes pressure must be maintained to provide fire protections so replacement has to take place in stages. Additionally, temporary water service is established with a pipe running upon the ground so the process must take place when no freezing weather is present. Mr. Houle briefly explained the relining process, whereby, a culvert would be installed and the watermain scoured using a mechanical "pig" that removes the deposits, then a liner would be pulled through the pipe and the pipe chlorinated before the water service restored. He reported the contractor Minneapolis uses can add about 10,000 linear feet to their work load and still accomplish the projects. Mr. Houle said Edina was also checking on a thermal plastic pipe lining process and would be taking part along with the Department of Health and the City of St. Paul in a technical demonstration with the contractor offering this service. The thermal plastic process has not yet been approved for water line in Minnesota and if it does not achieve approval other options will be explored. Due to the condition of the Morningside pipes staff did not recommend the burst in place process. Staff should be bringing forward a recommendation within a month. Councils discussed the issue with staff and the experts present. Their questions included: • Had thermal plastic pipe lining been used in Minnesota for water pipes-not yet approved • Regarding maintenance of fire protection, who determines if adequate flow levels were available-City Code and the Fire Marshal • How long would temporary water lines be necessary and what type of street disturbance would result - the project would take between 3-4 months and approximately 8 foot access points where the mechanical "pig" could be inserted would be needed along with storage for the"spoils" removed from the pipe • Were service lines typically replaced when this type of project was undertaken - only if the line were iron. If the service lines were copper then they would be left alone. In Morningside it was believed the service lines were copper. • Any turbidity checking recently-waiting for the temperature of the water in the main to drop below 50 degrees • What kind of improvement has continuous flushing brought - after continuously flushing lines, staff has been able to maintain high levels of chlorine in the area of 40th&Lynn • Has the home that tested positive for coliform been offered a retest - 24 hours after the first test a second test was taken, also showing positive for coliform at the kitchen tap,but negative for coliform at the bathroom tap. The homeowner cleaned the kitchen tap with chlorine and achieved a negative result for total coliform. • If the re-lining were done with Minneapolis how much could Edina expect to accomplish in one year - 10,000 linear feet available to be shared between Columbia Heights and Edina so a portion of the 10,000 feet. • Likelihood of State making determination soon about the thermal plastic re-lining process and if approved could the entire 4.1 miles be relined in one season- since the process is approved and certified in other states most likely after a bit more research the State of Minnesota will make a determination. City staff cautioned they were not convinced this was the best solution for Edina and if chosen,still need to maintain fire protection so project must be phased. • What can home owners do in interim- homeowners can do iron filtration to private line, but not sure long term can be achieved. • Has water temperature changed over last ten years - this year higher temperatures and lower river flow brought about the issue, Minnesota experiences drastic seasonal temperature changes Page 7 Minutes/Edina City Council/November 5,2007 • What does Minneapolis advise residents experiencing red water while waiting for their pipes to be re-lined. They are informed that it may be ten years or longer before pipes are re-lined, staff proceeds much the same as Edina has,continuous flushing, provide testing and in certain cases have homeowners flush their own lines and do not charge for the water. • It was noted that residents have been reporting water issues for as much as ten years with higher concentration in past two years, has any survey of the area been undertaken to ascertain degree of issue. -none done at this time,staff has been depending on complaint calls • How to determine where to begin phasing the re-lining process and could the most affected areas be done in one season. Staff will review calls but believe that the project can be done between 40th and 42nd and Lynn. Believe everything north of 42nd can be accomplished in one season. METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AUTHORIZED TO PROCURE AND MANAGE 2008 EDINA DIAL- A-RIDE SERVICES Mr. Hughes explained for approximately five years,Senior Community Services has operated a Dial-A-Ride service for Edina. This service has been funded by 1) a performance based funding grant from the Metropolitan Council, 2) the City of Edina general fund and 3) rider fares. The City contracted for the service with Senior Community Services and also contracted with Metropolitan Council for the performance based funding. He stated Metropolitan Council decided to terminate all of its contractual relationships with Senior Community Services. This termination included the Edina program and was effective on December 31, 2007. Senior Community Services' obligations will be assumed by an interim transit provider and interruption of service to Edina residents is not expected. Mr. Hughes said that the City has asked Metropolitan Council and they have agreed, to contract directly with the new provider for the Edina service of Dial-A-Ride.
