NO. BA-343 RICHMOND HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD STREET RECONSTRUCTION
Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file.
Assistant Engineer Sullivan reviewed the proposed project using PowerPoint. He noted the
project was initiated by the staff and would involve reconstructing the existing roadway
including adding new concrete curb and gutters, and upgrading water main, and sanitary and
storm sewer. He said the estimated project cost was $871,500 which would include the roadway
project and City-owned utility repairs. Mr. Sullivan explained the roadway portion of the project
estimated to be $480,000 would be funded from special assessments as per MS 429 against the 47
properties at approximately $10,500 over ten years; and the City-owned utility repairs would be
funded from the respective utility funds. He concluded, stating staff had analyzed the project
and felt it was feasible from an engineering standpoint.

Minutes/Edina City Council/March 3, 2008
The Council asked questions regarding the proposed project including: private irrigation systems
and pet containment systems location, potential damage and repair, what portion of special
assessments were tax deductible, when would the special assessment payments begin, storm
sewer upgrades, what would be considered traffic calming, would traffic calming proposed in
the project reduce asphalt, and how would the curb and gutter be funded. Mr. Sullivan, City
Attorney Elliot Knetsch, and Engineer Houle answered the questions. Damage to private
irrigation systems and pet containment systems would be corrected at the end of the project by
the property owners' contractors and paid by the City; payments on the special assessments
would begin with the property taxes following the year the project was specially assessed by the
City Council, only the interest on special assessments would be tax deductible, the intersections
in the neighborhood would be tightened and realigned slightly reducing the asphalt pavement,
and the storm sewer utility would fund the curb and gutter.
Public Comment
John Menke, 5301 Pinewood Trail, said he believed the neighborhood needed the streets, but
asked that the City fund between 25 and 50 percent because of the damage caused during the
four years of construction of Grandview Square.
Richard Dahlquist, 5220 Richwood Drive, asked what triggered the timing of the project, were
there any state or federal monies to fund the project, what style of curbing was planned and was
there any planned mitigation of the existing drainage problems.
Steve Ullom, 5229 Richwood Drive, said he supported the project and praised the informational
meeting.
Jack Abrahamson, 5209 Richwood Drive, said there should be some method of notifying
residents two to five years in advance of a project to allow them to arrange financing of the
assessment. He also asked what interest rate would be charged.
Eric Hoegger, 5257 Richwood Drive, said he supported the project and wanted the curb and
gutter.
Member Masica made a motion seconded,by Member Housh to close the public hearing.
Ayes: Bennett, Housh, Masica,Swenson,Hovland
Motion carried.
Staff answered questions of the residents, noting that in 2003 Ron Clark Construction paid for a
mill and overlay to Sherwood, improvement projects were scheduled based upon an analysis of
City roadways and utilities and were placed into the Capital Improvement Program with
approximately four to five million dollars completed each year, the streets in the Richmond Hills
neighborhood were approximately fifty years old, last year the special assessment interest rate
was 5.9%, Senior Citizen Deferrals were explained briefly, both the Five Mile Creek and
Minnehaha Watershed Districts will review the proposed project, Mr. Sullivan reviewed the
proposed placement of storm sewer improvements and agreed that there should be
improvements to drainage issues, and the proposed curb and gutter would be the bulkhead style.
Member Swenson made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2008-26 receiving the Feasibility

LEWIS PARK DONATION Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file. Park
Director Keprios explained Edina resident Carolyn Kohrs first approached the Park Board at their
October 9, 2007, meeting and proposed to offer $500,000 in seed capital to replace the existing
park shelter building at Lewis Park with a two-story building that would be 2,000 to 2,500 square
feet including a separate room to serve hot and cold food and beverages run by private citizens.
Her proposal stated that "The building would be owned by the investors until such a time that
the original investors were reimbursed for their seed capital plus a 5% annual investment
return."
Mr. Keprios said, at the October 9, 2007, meeting, the Park Board asked Ms. Kohrs to come back
to the Park Board in a month or two with more information, including:
• Determination of whether the neighboring residents and businesses were in support of the
concept.
• A business plan showing all costs, liability insurance and rental plans.
• Determination if there was adequate space for the proposed facility.
• Determination of code requirements that must be met, such as, ADA requirements when a
two-story building was constructed.
Mr. Keprios reported Ms. Kohrs addressed the Park Board at their November 2007 meeting. At
that meeting, Ms. Kohrs stated that her proposal had been modified in that as soon as the
building was constructed it would immediately be donated to the city. She also reported she had
met with residents, local businesses, conducted an online survey and established a website for
this proposal. Mr. Keprios noted copies of input from residents and local businesses had been
included in the Council's packet.
Mr. Keprios said after lengthy discussion and considerable public comment, the Park Board
requested Ms. Kohrs come back to the Park Board at their January 8, 2008, meeting with a more
definitive plan in writing that outlined her proposed financial agreement, maintenance
agreement, and determined if the property needed to be re-zoned.
Mr. Keprios stated after lengthy discussion and more community testimony, the Park Board
passed a motion at their January 8, 2008, meeting to approve the proposal in concept and send
the matter to the City Council to determine what should be the next step in the process.
Carolyn Kohrs, using a PowerPoint presentation, reviewed her proposal which she stated had
evolved over time to her final request that was:
• Create a Gathering Place for All Citizens in All Seasons
• Enhance Uses Of Our Public Park Building
• Serve Many Future Generations of Edina Residents with a Safe, Comfortable, and
Multi-Use Facility
• $500,000 Donation to Fund Design and Construction of the Multi-Season Park Building at
Lewis Park (In Memory of Dean Lumbar)
• Food and Beverage Concession Managed on a Volunteer Basis
o All Revenue Applied to Cover Costs of Operation and Maintenance of the
Concession Facilities
Page 3
Minutes/Edina City Council/March 3,2008
• Excess Revenues Applied to Public Purposes or Programs
• No Funds Returned to the Donor
• If Concession Finances Fail, City Has Discretion to:
• Modify or Discontinue the Concession Operation
• Use Building For Any Other Park Purpose
• No Obligation to Repay Any Part of the Donation
• Details of the Donation and Concession Operation Reflected in Mutually-Acceptable
Agreements
Member Housh stated he wanted to clarify that he personally knew the Kohrs and that the firm
he worked for did business with Mr. Kohr's firm. Mr. Knetsch said that since Member Housh
had neither a disqualifying interest in the proposal nor direct financial interest he could discuss
the issue and vote on it.
The Council asked questions of and discussed the proposal with Ms. Kohrs then opened the issue
to public comment. Their questions included: did the design include space for a zamboni,
potential hours of operation, would the building be staffed at all times, what was the proposed
marketing plan,what products were proposed to be sold at the concession plan, where would the
rental proceeds be directed, what would happen if the building bid came in at $750,000, what if
the concession stand ran in the red. Ms. Kohrs said most of the issues were yet to be negotiated
in an operating agreement with the city. She said if more than$500,000 was needed she would be
committed to raising the funds needed, and that she would absorb the cost of operating losses.
