RE: Eligible State Aid Items -Shade Tree Program
10 January 1979
The following items are subsidizable through the
State Department of Agriculture state aids proram
for municipal shade tree programs at the rate between
28% to 40%:
SANITATION:
-- Salaries of full- and part-time employees paid
for solely by the City of Edina who work in
any of the following facets of controlling the
spread of Dutch Elm Disease and/or Oak Wilt:
- Removal of diseased trees and tree parts
- Disposal of diseased trees and tree parts
- Removal and disposal of stumps left by the
removal of diseased trees
- Drivers and operators allied to the above
procedures
- Miscellaneous procedures, i.e., root graft
interruption, related to the control
of the spread of DED and/or OW
-- Outside contracts related to the control of the
spread of DED and/or OW. (stump removal)
-- Drugs used to control DED and/or OW. (VAPAM, Dor-
mant oil spray, etc., but not ARBO-TECT/LIGNASAN)
-- Costs of certain tools, etc., that are consumed
or whose lives consist of one season or part of
one season. (one season=April-March)
-- Costs of disposing of diseased wood
REFORESTATION:
-- Salaries of full- and part-time employees as above
-- Costs of trees planted whether in nursery or in
ethe field
-- Outside contracts
MORE!
MEMO -Bob Kojetin (10 January 1979) Shade Tree State
Aids
-- Costs of certain tools as above
The key to the aids program is that we submit only ex-
penses that the City of Edina solely paid. CETA, Com-
munity Development and other Federal funds are abso-
lutely ineligible for subsidy.
Of course, the Edina subsidy program that helped out
our residents is an eligible claim.
Equipment time, of dump trucks, chippers, loaders, etc.,
is also eligible if suitable records are kept.
If I can answer any other questions of yours or the
Park Boards', please let me know.
Thanks!

RE: Shade Tree Replanting Program
17 July 1978
Because the city is losing a number of trees on the boulevards -388 in 1977,
and roughly 10 per cent more in 1973-I feel that'a shade tree replanting
program should begin to help offset these losses.
The program I propose is as follows:
Every year a certain number of trees will mature or be purchased for re-
planting. Each year one-half of these trees will be planted on boule-
vards that have lost trees. Stump removal records indicating these addresses
will be used to determine the replanting schedule. The addresses will be
drawn at random but will reflect a geographic spread. This can be accom-
plished by using a replanting zone system. Replanting zones for Edina have
'already been established by the City Forester._
The other half of the available trees to be repZanted-on boulevards will be
planted in areas where no bouZevard trees exist. Addresses tdken from the
City Forester's ganeral community -wide repZanting plan wiZZ be chosen at
random, again by repZanting zones to insure a good geographic spread.
Letters will be sent to the chosen residents offering a tree. if the
residents respond affirmatively, their planting wiZZ be scheduled. If a
negative response is received, their address goes back into the hat and
an alternate address is chosen.
I propose that these replanted trees be installed at no cost to our res-
idents. In 1976 the Park Department offered a cost sharing program to
replant boulevards. Very few people participated in this program.
Thank you.

Edina had 1209 cases of Dutch Elm disease on private properties
and 641 cases on public properties. This is a total increase of
529 cases from 1977. Much of the increase came in the wild wood -
lot areas where control is much more difficult. In these type
situations where only ore tree is initially infected, by the time
removal is completed more elms are infected. In addition, root graft
control is very hard to accomplish in these areas.
All the private cases of Dutch Elm disease were subsidized for
removal by the city and state. This payment usually led to click
removal by our residents. Once again, the largest single problc�:.
�r
Page two 1-1-79
fast removal was that tree firms generally took more work t%,an
• they could perform. Occasionally residents h^d'sore problems get-
ting the trees do? --n in the twenty day period because of this over-
stocking of work. Inspectors nay give extensions for removal to'
comply with the 1978 state law. In 1979, the law will not require
a twenty day period for removal but the state recommends that the
city retain this time period. Instead, trees will be considered as
low or high risk trees and the -inspector ,rill make this determination
at the time of condemnation. This change will not be a problem to
the city.
The number of elm calls increased by 125 but this followed -L e
'increase in disease. I feel that 1979 will be a year where the
number of disease cases will receed. It's hard to predict just
how much -lower it will be., but I think that 1978 was our peak year.
About two-thirds of the residents calls fell in the elm catagory.
Other elm problems included bacterial wetwood, black tar spot,
heartrot and winterkill. In some cases the elms c:lecked were ok
and these calls were put in this catagory.

This is a new catagory for 1978. For the last two years the city,
as part of the subsidy program, picked up and disposed of elm
trees cut do�:.,n by the residents. This pickup and disposal is in
lieu of the city paying a subsidy. We had 201 resident calls to picl:up
Pa ;e three 1-1-79
diseased elrs in 1978. This is a very time, consuminn job, but very
necessary to our program. In fact, this free pickup and disposal by
the city is a major i.n.ducement to the residents for fast removal of
diseased trees. The city is subsidized by the state for this program.

We had g5_cases of oak wilt disease in 1978. This is a slight
decrease over 1977 however, this figure should be rather constant
over the years. 1,ost of the oak wilt disease cases are in the red
oak family. (Pin, Yorthern Red and Red Oaks) This group is most
r
susceptable to oak wilt disease. The white oak family ( Bur and White)
Sare more resistant to oak wilt disease. The city has a fairly large
population of both families of oaks. Free pickup and disposal is
available to the residents for diseased oaks.
The oak families are also susceptable to a variety of minor leaf
diseases which arr_'t harmful. With rapid detection and control oak
wilt disease can be controlled within reason.

We had a four -fold increase in trimming calls in 1978. The reason
for this increase was r-ostly because of the advice given in the
usage of Arboteck fun?icide.'Lrim;ain- is a very important step in
the injection_ procedure. Beca-ise of this, the inspectors were

the num )er of injection treatments next spring and su,-.mer, this
catagory could grow again next year.

Once again the largest number of calls here dealt with the spring
cankerworm. These insects denuded most of our elms to some degree
and are a real nuisance. The city has a spray program to help
control this insect but without the complete elm population being,
sprayed at the same time control is very difficult. However, I
feel that because of the public relations involved, it is necessary
to spray our blvd trees. Other problems included scale, aphids,
bronze birch borer, leaf miner and flowering ash gall insect. The
majority of these insects are at best only nuisance type problems
with the exception of the bronze birch borer.
The kinds of disease encountered were cytospera cam'ker of spruce,
Verticillium wilt of maples, Fire blight of mountain ash and fruit
trees and bacterial wetwood on all kinds of trees. r:ost of these
diseases arn't abundant and therefore are a tree to tree problem.
The diseases are dependant to a degree on the weather and are at
• most times isolated cases. _Still, the diseases need controlling
so proper information is pas�-eu alon ;.

The removal calls dealt with any reauest to remove any tree. An
example would be a resident asking to remove a blvd tree because of
roots in the sewer. Another example would be someone wanting a
tree removed because it is shading out a youn;er, smaller tree.
The stump removal calls were also put in this cata;ory. I expect
that the number of calls in this catagory to stay rather constant.

This catagory is a catch-all for calls not answered elsewhere. They
range from someone just wanting to talk to a forester to giving;
advice on landsc^ping. As predicted, this year we answered many calls
concerning the proper use of Arboteck fungicide. This will probably
be the case in the spring and su- mer of 1979. I feel that it is a
direct benefit to the city that many people are deciding to inject
their elm trees. Arboteck does seem to work 'out without qualified
research rotes I feel that the city can't officially reccommend it's
usage. I do unofficially recommend its usage on a tree by tree basis.
Hopefully, the University of ."innesota will bring out some information
soon so we can take an official stand on this subject.
p -e six 1-1-79
C0::FETY-TS
. --- We had 1940 resident calls in 1978 which was Pn increase of 264
calls over 1977. I e.pect that 1979 trill be about the same as 1978.
----ost of the foresters time is spent answering these calls,
although other city b-siness is done by the foresters.
---I think that the residents "Call -Forester" answer system works
very well. Every effort is rade to answer the call as soon as
possible. Most calls are answered within a day or two.
---State reports and record keeping is also the foresters duty.
---The city now has a replanting program in effect.
---The city has 2 inspectors at its disposal.
---City crews did a very good job in our areas of responsibility.
---`Phe city nursery has been replenished and we should have plantable
trees in two to three years.

STAFF REPORT
October 25, 1978
Z-78-10 Rauenhorst Corporation. R-1 Single Family District to PID -
and Planned Industrial District.
S-78-14 Edina Office Center. Generally located at the Qwest
quadrant of West 76th Street and France Avenue Street._.__.___.
REFER TO: attached graphic
On September 27, 1978, the Commission reviewed plans for an office complex
on a 31 acre tract of land located west of France Avenue and south of 76th
Street. Although the Commission was generally favorable towards the develop-
ment concept as proposed, it agreed that staff should further investigate
the transportation aspects of the proposal with particular consideration
given to.France Avenue.
Subsequent to this meeting, staff has met with representatives of Hennepin
County and the City of Bloomington to formulata roadway plan for the area.
Although final details of this plan are noe t completed at this time, we believe
that these will be available at the October 25, 1978, meeting.
The basic concept of this plan is the realignment of the north frontage
road of I-494 from its present location to the northerly lot line of the
Drive -In theatre and the southerly lot line of the subject property. Such
a realignment is very similar to the alignment of the south frontage roads
of I-494. In conjunction with this realignment, a future objective would
be the closure of the existing -median --cut at France Avenue and West 77th
Street extended as well as the removal of.the present intersection of the
frontage road and France Avenue. The benefits from such a realignment are
1) the removal of one median cut on France Avenue and 2) the relocation of
a major intersection with France Avenue to a point much farther from the
494 interchange. The net result will hopefully be a reduction in traffic
congestion at France Avenue and I-494.
A secondary concept of this plan is the connection of West 77th Street to
the realigned -frontage road. Such a connection would provide some relief
to the 76th Street and France Avenue intersection and would provide an
improved internal circulation system for the industrial/office/commercial
developments located in this area.
Staff is also concerned with the storm water disposal needs of the subject
property as well as the entire area. We have requested our hydrologist to
review the need for providing additional storm water ponding areas in the
southwestern portion of the property.
CD and PC Staff Report - October 25, 1978
Page 2
The proponents have submitted revised plans based upon the roadway plan
discussed above. These plans propose a re -orientation of the southerly
building and show a 40 foot easement on the southerly extreme of the site
for the re -alignment of the frontage road. A 60 foot easement is also
shown for the connection of West 77th Street to the frontage road. The
location of this easement should be shifted easterly to coincide with the
proposed roadway location in Bloomington.
As mentioned above, additional work on these matters is necessary and a
more detailed report will be provided at Wednesday's meeting.

Z-78-10 Rauenhorst Corporation. R-1 Single Family District to PID -
and Planned Industrial District.
S-78-14 Edina Office Center. Generally located at the northwest
quadrant of West 76th Street and France Avenue South.
REFER TO: September 6, 1978, staff report and attached graphics
The Commission will recall that .this item was continued at the last meeting
at the request of the proponent. At that time, an overall development plan
was submitted for the subject property which is located in the southwest
quadrant of 76th Street and France Avenue. This plan proposed a four building
office complex containing a total of 420,000 square feet of floor area.
This plan was to have been developed in phases with the most northerly
office building to be constructed first. This building would gain access
to 76th Street. Other access points to France Avenue and 77th Street were
to be constructed in conjunction with the development of the remainder of
the site.
Recently, the proponents submitted a revised plan for the site. This plan
proposes a 225,000 square foot building at the southeasterly extreme of the
site. This building would be constructed first. Two 100,000 square foot
office buildings are also proposed for future development northerly of the
first building. In addition, a 20,000 square foot building is proposed for
the westerly extreme of the site.
This plan also proposes a public street which would connect West 77th Street
with West 76th Street. The proponents indicate that they would construct
this roadway in phases corresponding to the development of the site.
Also attached is a preliminary plat for the site. A four lot subdivision
is proposed.
Recommendation:
On September 6, 1978, staff recommended that the proposed plan be approved
with some modifications. Staff believed that there were numerous advantages
to the proposed plan as compared with the development which could occur under
existing zoning and platting.
While the revised plan continues to propose a clustering of the development
potential on the site, (which staff supports) it also includes the concept
of a public road through the site, a greatly modified circulation plan, a
revised schedule for development, and a significant re -orientation of the

buildings on the site. Of greatest concern to staff is the roadway plan
for the site and the access of the site to adjoining streets. Staff believes
that the revised plan requires additional study and therefore we request a
continuance of this matter for one month. Staff intends to schedule a
meeting with the City of Bloomington, Hennepin County, and the Minnesota
Department of Transportation for their review of the proposed plan.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert Worthington, Rauenhorst Corporation
FROM: Arnold Ullevig, BRW
SUBJECT: Traffic Impact of Proposed Office Development at 76th(France
INTRODUCTION
Rauenhorst currently owns slightly over 30 acres of land southwest of the inter—
section of 76th and France in Edina. The current zoning on the land (with the
® exception of one 2.7 acre parcel that is zoned residential) allows the construc—
tion of three story office buldings. Rauenhorst is proposing to construct up to
445,000 square feet of office buildings on the site.
E
The purpose of the traffic impact study is to compare the trip generation of an
office development that conforms to the existing zoning, with the proposed plan.
The question will then be answered, would the granting of the proposed plan
result in more traffic. In addition the internal circulation elements of the
proposal are reviewed for adequacy.
GENERAL COMMENTS ON TRAFFIC SITUATION IN THE AREA
There is no question that France Avenue and 1-494 experiences traffic
congestion and delay in the p.m. peak hour and at tinges during the noon hour.
The development of this property will contribute to the situation at France and 1-
494. The long range solution to the traffic problems along 1-494 between Penn
and France was outlined in the DMjN1 1-494/T.H. 100 study. The plan called for
the realignment (same number) of the ramps of the current diamond interchanges
to provide slip ramps and also to provide one—way frontage roads. The implemen—
tation of this plan requires the cooperation of Edina, Richfield, Bloomington,
Hennepin County, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation. No significant
action has been taken by these agencies since the study was complete. Many of
the reconmendations that were entirely within Edina have been implemented.

AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT ALLOWED UNDER CURRENT ZONING
A site plan has been developed by Rauenhorst (see attached figure) that indica—
tes that a total of 501,200 square feet of office could be developed on the pro—
perty with 3 story buildings. (This assumes the small 2.7 acres parcel would be
zoned similar to the surrounding zoning.) Five buildings would be constructed
and 2,505 parking spaces (1 space per 200 square feet) would be provided.
AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED
Rauenhorst is proposing to construct up to 445,000.square feet of office with
the required number of parking spaces. This is 56,200 square feet less than
allowed with the current zoning.
DIFFERENCE IN TRIP GENERATION
The institute of Transportation Engineers, a professional society of traffic and
transportation engineers, collects and supplies data on the traffic generated by
various land uses. In a 1976 informational report entitled, "Trip Generation",
data on general office buildings is provided. The study reports that the
average trip generation for general office buildings is 11.69 trips per 1,000
gross square feet. This average is based on 22 studies with an average size of
318,000 square feet. A value -of 12 trips per 1,000 square feet will be used for
this analysis.
If the 12 trips per 1,000 square feet is multiplied times the additional square
feet of 56,200 that would be built on the site, a value of 674 trips results.
Thus, the proposed development will result in 674 fewer trips per day than would
be allowed under the current zoning. This is a reduction of approximately 119'0.
TRAFFIC OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Because 1-494 and France Avenue is a highly used area, the internal circulation
system should provide viable alternative routing to and from the site. •It is
proposed that the site have primary access to France Avenue via 76th Street and
to the west via 77th Street. Only limited access is provided to France Avenue
at the driveway located midway between 76th Street and the 1-494 north frontage
road. This will result in the least direct impact on France Avenue and provide
the best distribution of traffic, especially during peak hours.

CONCLUSION
The traffic implications of the proposed development result in a reduced impact
In terms of total daily traffic generation as compared to the current zoning.
In addition, the internal site circulation minimizes the impact upon the 1-494
and France Avenue interchange by offering alternative access routes and by uti—
lizing the existing controlled intersection at 76th Street to interface with
France Avenue.

Re: Dog Ordinance 1; M � r� l
Dear Ken:
Enclosed is a proposed ordinance amending Section 17(c)
of Ordinance 311 to require that persons in ccontrol
trolrearor custody
of a dog while on public prope Y ion a device or
ve feces
of that dog and have in his immediate possess
equipment for that purpose. I request that you and your staff.
review this proposed ordinance and advise me of any changes or
questions that you might have.
In reviewing the ordinance please note that we have
included "public area" as well as public property as a place
from which feces must be removed. However, we have not required
that feces be removed from private property even though they
may have been placed thereon without the consent of the owner
or the possessor of the private property. We considered re-
quiring such removal. However, there is a problem of a dog
owner having to trespass in order to make such removal. other
ordinances do require removal from private property
any event, the ordinance does make it a misdemeanor for a dog
even though
to defecate on private property oougwish us he towner
to
add
not required to remove the feces. If Y rivate property, please
requirement that feces be removed from p P P
advise and we can do so.
Again, if you have any questions or comments on the
proposed ordinance, please advise.
Very truly yours,

The times indicated -on sample calander are for the route system
that would run through the various quandrants of the City to
pick up and return Seniors to their homes.
Open Scheduling are the times when regular activities are not
taking place at the Center, it would be these times that the
vehicle would be used for special activities such as; Mini Tours,
Medical Days, and Shopping Days. These are activities that could
be away from the Center and possibly outside of Edina. An
example of a Mini Tour might be taking a smaller interest
group to the Art Museum or to hear a lecture -- this would allow
for this type of programming, in the past it has been necessary
to find 30 or 40 people interested in a tour to make it possible
_ to charter a bus. Medical Days would be for the purpose of
taking Seniors to the Clinics at Creekside Center. Another
possibility would be major medical centers -- this would be
limited to those who could not use conventional forms of
transportation and who could schedule their appointments on the
Medical Day. Shopping Days would be trips to major shopping
areas, again for those who cannot use or afford public
transportation. Open Scheduling can be used for Educational
trips such as classes at the Art Center or Normandale College,
etc.
