SENIOR CITIZEk HOUSING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CONTINUED TO JANUARY 20, 1977 Luce recalled that the Senior Citizen Housing Ordinance had been continued from the meeting of November 15, 1976, so that the proposed ordinance could be re- drafted to reflect the changes indicated by the Council. Mr. Luce reviewed the revisions proposed to be included in the.ordinance in conformance with instruc- tions of the Comcil at its last meeting and clarified that he .had confirmed that tb.e City could not be more restrictive than the State Building Code. Councilman Courtney expressed his concern that SR-5 zoning might be permitted in the futiire in an increasing number of already developed residential areas in the City. He expressed particular concern that, as older areas of the.City depreciate in value, there,will be increasing pressure for Senior Citizez developmenLwith developers contending that ecor,omics dictate that they.must have a heavier use.for their property. Mr. Erickson suggested that.it might be appropriate to amend the Comprehensive Plan and the Housing Assistance Plan to include the Senior Citizen Housing District. Councilman Richards clarified that he is not objecting to the Senior Citizen Hous- ing District as such, but believed that it would be more appropriate in an undev- eloped area of the City, rather than in established R-1 residential areas. Mr. Luce pointed out that it is important that bus service and shopping facilities be available for senior citizens. In response to Mr. Luce's suggestion that, if a developer cznnot include a laundry facility as a "cornunity facility",he would probably eliminate the laundry facility altogether, Council suggested that laundry facilities be required in SR District developments. Discussion ensued as to the need for parking facilities in SR District developments, with Mr. Luce recalling that a study which he made a few years ago indicated that it would be necessary to charge $30 per month per garage Discussion ensued as to whether the Council might be considered "capricious" in establishing more restrictive requirements for SR zoning than for market rate apartments. Mr. William Phillips of The Lanterns Apartments requested that Councilman Courtney offered RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION Mr. In response to his request that.safeguards be provided in the ordinance, stall to break even financially. 12/6/76 the ordinance provide that garages meet the standards of a separate garage; 2) that there should bs a pedestrian crossing for residents every 150 feet; that park5ng spaces should be designed at no additional cost.

As recommended by Mayor Van Valkenburg, Councilman Shaw's mot- ion was seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt and carried, that the ordinance be referred back to January17, 1977, and that copies of the revised ordinance be submitted to residents of The Lanterns and other interested neightbors for their review be- fore the meeting.

As presented by Mr. Luce, Council- man Richards offered Ordinance No. 811-A86 and moved its adoption, recognizing that the zoning is being approved for the following reasons: 1. The proposal . is in conformance with the Western Edina Plan; 2) The proposed lots meet zon- ing restrictions; single family area to the East and the industrial uses to the Vest: 3) The property is a transitional property between the ORDINANCE NO. 811-A86 AN ORDINANCE AElENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE (NO. 811) BY ADDING TO THE MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS: Paragraph 1 of Section 4 of Ordinance No. 811 of the City is' amended by adding the following thereto: of the following properties: Section 1.

City Clerk $Ld,& RYm'S ADDITION GRANTED PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL. Addition, located at the Northeast corner of Limerick Lane and Brook Drive, for preliminary plat approval, noting that this plat had been continued from the meeting of November 15, 1976. Mr. Luce explained that the proponents are re- questing to subdivide Lot 4, Block 9, LaBuena Vista Addition so that they may create two lots and an outlot adjacent to Nine Mile Creek which would be dedicated for park purposes, but that the Environmental Quality Commission and the Planning Commission had recommended denial of the plat for the following reasons: 1) The . lot sizes would be inconsistent with other lots in the LaBuena Vista Addition, and the interior lot would be only 117 feet deep whereas subdivision regulations require a minimum lot depth of 120 feet; There have been five requests for further subdivision in the LaBuena Vista Addition which have been denied by the Planning Commission and/or the Council. One request was appealed to the court, which upheld the City's decision and found that people who purchased lots in that subdivision had reason to assume that the lot sizes in that area would not be changed; across Brook Drive, Limerick Lane provides an excellent dividing line between LaBuena Vista Addition and the surrounding area. A symmetry of lot sizes and houses presently exists within the LaBuena Vista Addition which would be altered by this subdivision. Mrs. John E. Ryan, owner of the lot in question, referred to a petition signed by owners of twelve adjacent properties (the name of Mrs. Curt Vining, 6829 Brook Drive, having been withdrawn from the petition) which indicated their support of the plat. come to the meeting to object to the proposal. She said that the newly formed lot would be comparable in size to the lots facing on Brook Drive since it has 116 front feet and contains 12,200 square feet, well above the Edina minimum of 9,000 square Mr. Luce presented Ryan's . 2) I 3) Although there are similar lot sizes in the subdivision directly Mrs. Ryan pointed out that none of the neighbors had- 12/6/76 11 feet. It was pointed out that City ordinances now call for a dedication of 100 . feet on each side of a creek, but that at the time the Ryan's had originally pur- chased their property only 50 feet were required to be dedicated on each side. City Attorney Erickson pointed out that if the Council approved this plat it would, in effect, be approving the required variances. In response to Mr. Luce's con- tention that approval of this plat would be setting a precedent, Councilman Courtney said that he believed that each piece of land should be decided on its om merits. ing resolution and moved its adoption: > Following lengthy discussion, Councilman Courtney offered the follow- RESOLUTION GRANTING PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL TO RYAN'S ADDITION BE IT RESOLVED that that certain plat entitled "Ryan's Addition, platted by John E. Ryan and Mary A. Ryan, and presented at the Edina City Council-Meeting of December 6, 1976,. be and is hereby granted preliminary plat approval, subject to a 17% parklad dedication consi'sting of 50 feet.on each side of the creek.

SCOT LEWIS ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT DENIED. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Luce recalled that this plat had been continued from the meeting of November 15, 1976, because proper notice had not been given. He presented the request for a two lot single family subdivision generally located West of Blake Road, South of Mendelssohn Lane and North of Interlachen Blvd., advising that the staff and Planning Commission had recommended denial and that the City Traffic Engineer had indicated that there is a traffic problem in the area caused particularly by lack of visibility due to the Blake Road hill and curve. as follows: curve, and visibility is extremely limited; 2) Because of the dangerous condi- tion at the intersection, the number of automobile trips from driveways should be limited. traffic conflicts would be reduced in half; property is extremely'.limited by the pond, the requisite setbacks, and the consid- erable grade. Because the developable portion is not extremely large, the pro- perty would not be underdeveloped if it were developed as one lot. Mr. Adam E. Zatarga, 6324 Waterman Avenue, referred to his letter to the Council expressing tiis opposition to the plat. be changed if it should be regraded and that only one person would be benefitted. Mr. Zatarga also exbressed concern that the owners of the "damaged and devalued properties would most likely have to bear the costs of the road reconstruction". Following considerable discussion, Councilman Shaw's motion to deny the Scot Lewis Addition for the reasons given by the Planning Commission was seconded by Councilman Courtney. Reasons given for the recommended denial were Access on to Blake Road is dangerous because of the hill and 1) If there is only one house on the property, the potential number of 3) The developable portion of this He contended that the character of Blake Road would Ayes: Courtney, Richards, Schmidt, Shaw, Van Valkenburg Nays: None Motion carried. --- 50TH Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Luce explained that the proposed sanitation district would encompass all corn- mercially zoned properties within the area included in the 50th and France Corn- mercial Area Plan prepared by the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority, arid that the designation of the sanitation district would allow the City to take bids for the collection of garbage and refuse and to then contract with the successful bidder for its services in the district.
