Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Pursuant to due notice given, a public hearing was conducted and action taken as hereinafter set forth: A. STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT NO. P-ST.S.-173 IN THE FOLLOWING: Edina-Bloomington Border-Highway 100 Easterly 2500 Feet Plus or Minus Engineer Hoffman presented total estimated construction cost for Storm Sewer Improvement No. P-St.S.-173 at $750,000.00, proposed to be assessed against owners of property in the area generally bordered by Highway 100 on the west, the City of Bloomington border on the south, the City of Richfield border on the east, and West 72nd Street on the north. He recalled that the City has been divided into subdistricts for storm sewer management and that the proposed improvement involves the storm water management plan for the areas of Bloomington and Edina lying north of 1-494 and between Normandale Boulevard and Xerxes Avenue. About a year ago the City of Bloomington contacted the City staff regarding improving the pipeline in this area. recommends the construction of a 138" x 88" reinforced concrete pipe-arch along the south Edina boundary between Normandale Boulevard and to approximately 2500 feet east, to decrease the chances of substantial flooding in the area. The existing ponding area would remain easterly of that point. estimate of the proposed work is $1,500,000 which is proposed to be shared equally by Edina and Bloomington. Mr. Hoffman then presented graphics which showed the existing storm sewer, the proposed storm sewer, the.100 year discharge, the major watershed divide and the interior watershed divide for the plan. He noted that some areas in Bloomington and in Edina within the management district have exper- ienced flooding in recent years during excessive rainfalls. In staff's opinion, the proposed pipe will be necessary as the properties east of France Avenue are developed. The City of Bloomington is also holding public hearings at this time on the project. Mr. Hoffman stated that it is contemplated that this project would be financed by issuing bonds and that two methods of repaying the bonds are available for use by the City.. Traditionally the City has used Chapter 429 of the State Code which uses a special assessment based on area square feet and type of development on that property. Chapter 444 of the State Code whereby a storm sewer improvement district is' established and the costs are paid for by a general property tax levy within that district. Mr. Hoffman suggested that the public hearing be continued to the meeting of April 16, 1984, to take testimony, to consider the method of financing and to learn the results of the public hearing held by Bloomington. In response to Member Turner, Mr. Hoffman advised that the assessment area would be the same regardless of the financing method used. perties in the area have been assessed for improvements in the past. Mr. Hoffman replied that most of the area has seen two'or three assessments for lateral pipes and that under Chapter 429 that would be taken into account. heard from the public, Member 'Richards moved that the hearing be continued to A storm water management plan has been prepared which A preliminary cost An alternate method would be to use Member Richards asked if any of the pro- No comments being 3/19/84 8 __ April 16, 1984, and that when more facts are known as to what the City of Bloomington is going to do that staff be instructed to develop a specific proposal using the Chapter 429 method of financing the project. Motion was seconded by Member Bredesen. Ayes: Bredesen, Richards, Schmidt, Turner, Courtney Motion carried. OVERATiL PLAN AMENDMENT FOR VERNON HILLS CONDOMINIU3'fS (JOHNSON BUILDING COMPANY) APPROVED. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.

The request was heard by the Community Development and Planning Commission (CDPC) on February 21, 1984. The Commission recommended approval of the overall development plan, noting that the request will likely be accompanied by a two lot subdivision of the site, rather than a one lot subdivision as proposed previously. With the two lot subdivision it was recognized that there could be some risk of the second phase not proceeding. Therefore some conditions to approval were recommended: 1) the proposed lot line separating Lots 1 and 2 of the proposed plat must be located such that the first phase could stand alone, 2) a demolition permit for the entire motel on the site must be applied for and issued prior to the issuance of a building perpit for Phase I, 3) no fh~l fnspeot2ons'shall be conducted or occupancy certificates issued until the entire motel building has been demolished, and 4) an access easement must be provided to allow the Phase I1 project to utilize the proposed entrance and median break on the Phase I property, with no other curb cut on Vernon Avenue permitted, if the Phase I1 project is developed by others. Mr. Hughes suggested that these conditions be put in agreement form to be signed by the proponents. Robert Johnson. and Elichael Klein, Johnson Building Company, were present and indicated they were in agreement with the conditions as stated. Member Schmidt questioned if the recommendations from the Grand View Traffic Study to be presented later would be affected by this proposed plan amendment. Mr. Hughes stated that the access to the site will remain unchanged and as proposed by the Study will be a signalized intersection. asked why the project is now proposed to be built in two phases. Robert Johnson responded that the request related to market feasibility and the financial situation. No further coment being heard, Member Richards moved adoption of the following resolution: RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED by the Edina City Council that the petition of Johnson Building Company for amendment to the overall development plan for Vernon Hills Condominiums be approved, subject to: 1) the lot line separating Lots 1 and 2 of the proposed plat must be located such that the first phase could stand alone for the entire motel on the site must be applied for and issued prior to the issuance of a building permit for Phase I, 3) no final inspections shall be conducted or occupancy certificates issued until the entire motel building has been demolished, and 4) an access easement must be provided to allow the Phase I1 project to utilize the entrance and median break on the Phase I property, with no other curb'cut on Vernon Avenue permitted, if the Phase I1 project is developed by others. Motion fpr adoption of the resolution was seconded by Member Bredesen.

The PrQponents have also submitted a plat of the property and are suggesting that Phase I of the project should now be included in the plat and a townhouse type of plat is proposed for all 13 units. Mr. Hughes advised that a petition has also been submitted for vacation of the Summit Avenue right-of-way which measures 40 feet in width to be added onto this building site. 6 foot wide easement along the east side of the property line which has been con- veyed to the City for park and landscaping purposes. It will be suggested at the vacation hearing that that 6 foot easement should likewise be released by the City. j At the meeting of December 19, 1983,.the Council had referred the concerns regarding traffic flow, both into and from the site, on Interlachen Boulevard to the Traffic Safety Committee for their recommendations. The Committee recommended that Inter- lachen should be limited to one way inbound to the site and as an alternative that an island be constructed at the intersection of the driveway and Interlachen Blvd. which would allow full access to the site, but right turns only out of the site. Mr. Hughes advised that the proponents wish to pursue the second alternative and staff would recommend that to the Council. The Planning Commission recommended final rezoning approval and preliminary plat approval subject to these conditions: 1) inclusion of the Traffic Safety Committee's recommendation for construction of an island at the intersection of the driveway and Interlachen Boulevard, 2) revision of the utility plan to include relocation of sewer and water lines on the site, that additional information be provided for a storm sewer on the site, and that a water main loop connect to existing lines for fire protection, 3) vacation of Summit Avenue, 4) final plat approval, 5) an executed Developer's Agreement, and 6) subdivision.dedication. Mr. Hughes advised that Bob Rietow, architect for the project, was present to answer questions. Mayor Courtney asked if the proponents have come to an agreement with the neighbors as to the landscaping and size of trees on the west property line. Mr. Rietow advised that they have agreed to put in 12 foot trees on the-:;west side as requested by the neighbors. Mr. Hughes stated that this would be reflected in the landscape plans when approved by staff.

Mr. Hoffman advised that since the 'preliminary report on the Grandview Area Traffic Study was presented to the Council it has been reviewed by various groups including businesses in the area, the Com- munity Development and Planning Commission, Hennepin County, and that letters were sent to approximately 150 residents in the immediate area asking for their comments. He noted that all persons that staff has talked to regarding the study have agreed with the basic premise of the study. The purpose of the study islto serve as a guide for future developments and improvements along Vernon Avenue in the Grandview area. and any proposed improvements would go through a process of a public hearing. Richard Wolsfeld, representing BRW who had prepared the study, then summarized the report. A general traffic analysis documents the following items: 1) current daily and peak period traffic volumes, 2) expected number of trips generated by anticipated new development, 3) expected geographic distribution of those trips, 4) forecast post-development daily and peak period traffic volumes at key locations, and 5) the capability of the existing system to accomodate the forecast traffic volumes. Identified were these five issue areas: 1) Vernon Avenue and Eden Avenue/W. 53rd Street, 2) Summit Avenue, 3) Vernon Avenue and Interlachen Boulevard, 4) Arcadia Avenue, and 5)' Vernon Avenue between Interlachen Boulevard and Link Road. Mr. Wosfeld stated that the traffic study attempts to maintain the integrity of Vernon Avenue and that the major features of the overall.roadway plan are as follows: - Three major intersections along Vernon Avenue are provided, a) the existing signalized intersection at Interlachen Boulevard, b) a new major entrance to the shopping center, and c) a new major intersection with Eden Avenue. - The existing intersection of Vernon Avenue and Eden Avenue is eliminated and an improved direct connection is provided in the Line Road corridor. - Several access points and driveways along Vernon Avenue are closed. - A new westbound Vernon Avenue approach to Interlachen Boulevard is provided which has two through lanes and separate right and left turn lanes. - A single major entrance to the shopping center is provided which is compatible with future signalization and which allows for the reorganization of the parking area. - A direct connection between Arcadia Avenue and Vernon Avenue is provided which has complete access in all directions. - The intersection of Vernon Avenue and W. 53rd Street is downplayed and additional trips through the Grandview area neighborhood will not be encouraged. - Access to the Sherwood Road neighborhood is downplayed and a better connection to Eden Avenue is provided. Mr. Hoffman explained that the recommended improvements would be done in stages with possibly five or six individual projects which would work independently of each other to allow a high level of service on Vernon Avenue. Mr. Rosland advised that staff has been exploring the feasibility of establishing a tax increment district in the Grandview area because of several major projects anticipated in the area, and that the Vernon Avenue roadway improvements would be included. Following discussion, Member Bredesen moved that the Grandview Area Traffic Study be accepted and approved as presented. . Motion was seconded by Member Turner.
