DEWEY HILL 111 ADDITION PRD-3 ZONING ORDINANCE GRANTED FIRST READING ON' 3-2 VOTE.
Mr . Hughes recalled that the hearing on the".PRD-3 zoning request :for. Dewey Hill
111 had been continued from June 2, i980, and that supplementary Findings of Fact
and Reasons had been distributed to the proponent and to neighbors for their
review. A copy of said Findings of Fact 2nd Reasons are hereto attached and made
a part of these Minutes. Mr. Larry Laukka, the developer, said that he had met on
three different occasions with neighbors since the last Meeting in an attempt to
work out their differences. Mr. Peter Jarvis , representing the developer, pre-
sented overlays showing the site as presently graded and as the project will appear
after final grading and landscaping with conifers in the 8 to 12 foot range, shade
trees, ornamental trees andshrubs. Reference was made to the fact that Mr. Laukka
had reduced the length of the Northerly building by 25 feet, reduced the height of
. the Northerly building from 3 to 2 stories and reduced the total number of units
from 123 to 114. Mr. Mitchell Kirchbaum, attorney representing Glasgow Drive
residents, said that Mr. Laukka is evading the issue, inasmuch as the real issue
is whether or not approval should be granted in the first place,
the purpose of this meeting is to analyze the-application
the Southwest Edina Plan, and to see if the Findings of Fact and Reasons support
the Reasons for the rezoning. He pointed out that the Findings of .Fact and Reasons
presented at tonight's meeting are called "supplementary" Findings which means that

address the major issue of density, that the Finding which states that the proposed
rezoning will not substantially reduce the value of surrounding properties is "pure
speculation", that a multiple residence building cannot be "sympathetic in design"
to single family dwellings, that lower density may not be "as profitable" rather than
"economically unlikely", and that, single family uses to the North and East are not
compatible with the proposed development. Mr. Hirchbaum submitted that the South"
west Edina Plan is beir.g completely ignored in allowing the proposed density, that
the Findings do not support the Reasons and that the Reasons do not support the
conclusion that the development should be authorized. Mrs. Dominick Sciola,
7705 Glasgow Drive, objected that in no case has approval been given by Council
allowing a higher density than that called for in the Southwest Edina Plan. In
response to Mrs. Sciola's statement that the neighbors were in favor of the devel-
oper's offer to eliminate the most Northerly building and make two single family
lots at the end of Glasgow Drive, Mr. Laukka said that he had been groping for a
satisfactory compromise, but that that solution would not be economically feasible.
Mr. Brian Anderson, representing West Suburban Builders, said that Mr. Laukka
had never addressed the concerns of residents on,the West side of the proposed
development and that they still believe that the density is too great, even if the
Northerly building should be replaced by two single family dwellings. He said
that evidence has been submitted to the Council showing an "adverse impact" on
the property values of single family lots on Shaughnessy Road and reminded
Council that there is no berm.between properties on the.West and the parking lot
and that all traffic will be using Shaughnessy Road.
of Councilman Courtney, Mr. Laukka said that, while firm plans had not been
drawn, landscaping on the West side of the site would be the same quality and
have the same result as landscaping on the East side.
Council that rezocing for the three story market rate apartment building at
51st and France Ave. was in a residential area also, with setbacks of less than
75 feet to the West and 40 feet to the South. Councilwoman Schmidt expressed
. her concern that, in allowing the proposed development to be constructed, the
Council is inviting other developers also to construct buildings of greater
density than permitted under City ordinances.
Mayor, Mr. Erickson said that in approving this proposal, the City would, in
effect , be amending the Southwest Edina Plan to a higher density and that the
only restriction on the Council's discretion as to density is the 12 units per

In response to a question
Mr. Jarvis reminded
In response to a question of the

acre set out in the PRD-3 zoning.
Council at this time is whether the proposed rezoning has a rational basis
related to the promotion of the general welfare and that, on this basis, he
disagrees with Mr, Kirchbaum that, while the density question is one aspect of
the rezoning, the real question is one of general welfare. He said that if the
Council decides there is a basis in the attached Reasons and Findings for
deciding that the general welfare is served by this rezoning, then he believes
that the Council has the authority to grant the'rezoning and that it would be
upheld in Court.
the Findings and Reasons rela.te to the general welfare of which density is but
one element. He stated that the Findings and Decisions cover heights, surround-
ing uses, effect on public services, arrangement and alignment of buildings,
types (which is fostered by both the Plan and by ordinance) and that he believed
that every conceivable aspect of the development has been studied by the City.
He said that he believes that Councils should listen to neighbors and that the
Courts have also said that Councils should listen to neighbors, but that the
Courts have also said that neighbors cannot be used as the "base line" for a

issued pursuant to the grading plan as authorized by the Council at its meeting
of February 25, 1980. Councilwoman Schmidt said she believed that the spirit of
the motion of February 25, 1980, did not authorize the grading to the extent that
it was done. Mr. Laukka recalled that the action was taken because of his
primary concern about getting 25,000 yards of peat and muck off the site and
that the grading that has taken place is to refill the area from which the peat
and muck was removed so as not to leave a big hole which could fill with water.
He added that there is still another 7,000 or 8,000 yards of peat to come off
the site, and that at this point, he is trying to return the site to the grading

to approve even more than what lfr. Laukka is now proposing and that the proposed
development is no different than others in the area. He then offered the follow-
ing ordinance for First Reading, based upon the Findings and Reasons as supple-
mented:. I

Councilman Courtney pointed out that he would approve the zoning if the two
Glasgow lots were developed as single family lots and hoped that this could be
worked out. The Mayor asked that the record show that the Council has listened
to neighbors and the developer and that, in considering the soil, the topo- .
graphy, the general welfare, density, ahd fairness to the developer, he believed
that the ordinance should be granted First Reading.
that she had voted "Nay" because the basic problem is that the site is being
looked at as a Planned Residential development and that if the procedure had been
handled properly in the first place, the present problems would not exist.
Mayor explained that the zoning request would now go back to the Planning Commis-
sion for consideration of final development plans.

FOOD PROTECTION ORDINANCE NO. 732 CONTINUED FOR FURTHER STUDY. Mr. Rosland
recalled that, as requested by Council, notice of the hearing on the new food
protection ordinance No. 732 had been sent to owners of restaurants and vending
machines so that they could respond to the proposed ordinance amendments.
Rose Boughton, Director of Food Services at Fairview Southdale Hospital, was ad-
vised that the proposed ordinance would include private cars which are used for
Meals on Wheels, which meals are prepared by the hospital.
Administrative Dietician at Fairview Southdale Hospital, concurred with Ms. Bough-
ton's concerns and also discussed the fact that fingernail brushes, if required
under the ordinance, should also be required to be sanitized. The question was
than County regulations.
said that he would be able to enforce the ordinance without any additional- s'ta'ff
and that he had received no feedback from the large grocery stores. Representa-
tives of Northomation, James Kochiras and Jonathan Otis questioned the fact that
there machines are checked by the State, the City and by their own employees.
They also objected to the fact that the Fire Department has told them that they
must have sprinklers in their coolers and freezers.
vending machine companies should have advance notice of any increase in the cost
of their licenses. Ifr. Velde advised that the proposed ordinance is more encom- :
passing than either the State or County requirements in that it contains regula-
tions on vending machines, food thawing and equipment and installation procedures
and methods.
seconded by Councilman Bredesen, that the hearing be continued so that the City
Attorney will have &I opportunity to check on the relationship of the County.&a

amounts of mileage allowances paid by various municipalities and recommended that
the City increase its mileage allowance to 23~. Councilman Bredesen pointed out
that the General Services Administration guidelines should be used, which guide-
lines allow only 22~ per mile and that income taxes must be paid for all amounts

HEMEPIN COUNTY TAX FORFEITED LANDS POLICY DISCUSSED. Council's attention was
called to a resolution proposed by Henneph County whereby municipalities would
be required to purchase tax forfeited parcels if they desire to om them for pub-
lic purposes. It was clarified that the County believes that it is necessary to .
respond in this manner to their allegation that many tax forfeited lands are
unsold because of disapproval by municipalities, too many conveyances are made
to municipalities and too many parcels are acquired by municipalities for resale
to private parties. Mr. Erickson said that he would be concerned that the pro- :
posed policy of the County would create more problems than it could solve, in addition to being costly for municipalities. Following discussion, Councilman
Bredesen's motion was seconded by Councilman Courtney, that the City Attorney and
Mr.'Hughes consult with the League of Minnesota Cities and write a letter to Henne-

HUMAN SERVICES INVENTORY DISCUSSED. Councilwoman Schmidt recalled that at the
meeting of June 16, 1980, the Council had informally agreed not to participate
in filling out a "needs assessment" for the South Hennepin Human Services Council.
She referred to a new questionnaire received by Council and recommended that this
be filled out by individual members inasmuch as the Federal Government has now
put all of the catagorical grants into one block grant as far as human services 2
are concerned. She clarified that the County will be working through the various
Human Services Councils distributing funds for such needs as mental health,
mental retardation and the many programs that impact on human services. Council-
woman Schmidt recalled that Councilman Bredesen was concerned that this survey
would go into a needs assessment, rather than inventory, but explained that the
County would be working thru the Human Services Councils, distributing funds for
the programs and all.things that will impact on Human Services.
sen expressed his concern that the County will use the results of the question-
naire more and more as justification for doing more and more even though nobody
wants to pay for it, and suggested that this is a "no-win" deal.
Schmidt said that she thinks the City is ahead of the game because she believes
that the County will require each municipality to do this very thing.

years for these improvements and that the staff believes that this is the right
time to proceed inasmuch as many bids have been coming in lower than estimated.

Q:
City Hall Remodeling - Nr. Rosland presented plans €or remodeling City Hall, which
project is being proposed at this time because of the State law requiring handi-
capped access for all public buildings. Changes, which would include the ent- .
rance for the handicapped and which would provide additional needed space for the
Police Department, are estimated to cost $197,000, $50,000 of which is in the
1980 Budget, with the balance of $143,OUO to be paid from Community Development
Funds. Councilman Richards said that he does,not believe that this is the time
to spend money in this manner. Councilman Bredesen said that he does not believe
that the handicapped access should be built when it would very rarely, if ever, .
be required for use by theshandicapped. Members Schmidt and Courtney concurred
that the City is apt to be getting lower bids at this time and recalled that.
the State is mandating construction of the handicapped entrance.
Schmidt then moved approval of obtaining working drawings for the remodeling
for City Hall.

Public Works Garage Remodeling - Mr. Rosland explained that it is proposed to
add a mezzanine, new roofing and a sprinkling system to the Public Works Building
at a cost of approximately $168,000. Addition.of the mezzanine would provide
additional storage space. Mr. Rosland said that the present roof is leaking and
that'City codes require all public buildings to have a sprinkling system for
fire prevention. Councilman Richards objected to the proposal, saying that
plans should first be made for the entire Public Works area so that all options
could be studied at the same time.

Telephone System - Mr. Rosland explained that the present telephone system is
not capable of adequately handling the number of calls that go thru the present
switchboard. He said that both Northwestern Bell and G.T.E. have advised that
a new telephone system will be less expensive on a monthly basis than present
costs and that it will become increasingly expensive to maintain the present
system. Mr. Rosland recommended that bids be tzken with alternatives to buy or
lease the equipment. Councilman Bredesen suggested that it might be better not
to buy a new technology since he believed that prices will drop and the techno-
logy might not prove itself.

the $16,000 to $35,000 annual income range and who would be potential home buyers
who would hopefully remain in Edina and enroll their children in the Edina school
system. Mr. Jarvis emphasized that his client is proposing high density housing.
Mr. Erickson said that it might be necessary to amend the Zoning Ordinance to
include a Planned Unit Development District. Councilmen Bredesen, Courtney and
Richards expressed interest in the proposal, saying that they did not have a
negative reaction, but could not at this time commit themselves definitely.
Councilwoman Schmidt was reluctant to express any opinion at this time. Mr. Jar-
vis said that he did not want,Winfield Development to run up high architectural
fees to develop a very complicated and unique mixed use residential and office use
development only to have it fall flat because the concept was not acceptable to
the Council. Mrs. McClelland concurred with Mr. Jarvis that, in his informal pre-
sentation to the Planning Commission, she had thought the proposal was too dense,
four or five members thought that it would be acceptable and one member was "some-
where in the middle".

project, the City should consider building apartments which would be between 600

stage where they must give up their homes.
