that the public hearing on the Zoning Change from-R-1 to.PRD-3 -for.the Brutger
Companies property, generally located west.of.Cahil1 Road and south of Dewey Ell

stated that according to ,the City's Comprehensive Plan of 1980 the site is desig-
nated as suitable for medium density residential and this is in the range of 6 to
12 dwelling units per acre. 'The proponent, Brutger Companies, is requesting a
rezoning from the existing R-1 Single Dwelling Unit District to PRD-3 Planned Resi-
dential District and have submitted a site plan illustrating 26.townhouse units and
24 condominium units for a total of 50 dwelling units in seven individual buildings.
Each individual building would contain either 4, 6 or 8 units.

spaces that would be provided in front of each garage stall, there are 24 surface
parking spaces scattered thoughout the site. All buildings are 2-story in design
and the exterior treatment would be brick and cedar siding with asphalt shingles.
Mr. Larsen advised that the.staff report of January 30 recommended approval of the
project. However, by a 6 to 3 vote the Planning Commission recommended denial of
the proposed plan.
to explain the proposed project further. Mr. Wilson stated that the Brutger Com-
panies is a development corporation specializing in multi-family housing. He then
outlined some of the steps they had taken in the selection of this type of project
as the best and highest use for the subject property. He pointed out that the
City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Housing Element, identifies a second theme as
the development of policies and programs that will widen the range of housing choices
available in the City and to 0ffer.a wide range of market rate residential housing
choices.
the goal under the Plan's Land Use Element of encouraging excellence in site plan-
ing, building materials and design. The Plan also states that vacant lands in the
Cahill and 70th Street area are generally characterized by severe environmental
limitations such as slopes or poor soils and multiple residential or clustered
housing presents the most logical means of land utilization.
out that the proposed project uses the cluster housing concept do utilize the
existing topography.
two primary areas within the City that have a medium density land use designation.
Within those areas they had found a mixture of apartments, townhouses and condo-
miums projects which had been constructed and had selected the clustered housing
concept which has been well received'in the housing market.
they had considered the requirements established by the Zoning Ordinance as to
density and setbacks and that the proposed project is well within those guidelines.
In summary he stated that the project will be highly marketable, that it is a
quality product and will have amenities that are appealing to the people who are
going to buy the units. Tom Hunt, Canlson Mjorud Architecture, architect for the
project, then outlined the architectural elements of the project: 1) exterior to
be of brick and cedar, compatible.with the surrounding area, 2) buildings would be
sited to create a park-like setting, 3) the footprint of the buildings would pro-
vide interest by use of jogs, 4) the buildings would have an animated roofscape,
and 5) landscaping would include flowering trees/shrubs to add color and interest,
with the vegetation to interface with surrounding property.
responded to general questions from the audience. He clarified that the units
will be owner occupied, not rental, and will be designed for several types of
marketing; that the one-level, first floor units will be geared-primarily for the
elderly, the-one-level, second floor units..would.appeal to the young professionals,
and the 2-story townhouse units would appeal to the young professional couples but
will not necessarily be geared to families; and that the questions of pets would
be a decision to be made by the association which will be formed. He added that
the setbacks requirements are 20 foot sideyard,.35 foot rear yard and 35 foot front
yard. Buildings will be sited at angles to eliminate a tunnel look. City ordi-
nance requires that garbage cans must be in.an.enclosure or building and will not
be seen from surrounding properties. The units are proposed to be priced from a
minimum of $95,000/100,000 to a maximum of $135,000/140,000.
6550 York Avenue, addressed some of the issues that were raised at the Planning
Commission meeting with regard to density, integrity of neighborhood, quality of
structure, design and landscaping. In summary,-he stated that the site has unique
possibilities and that the proposed development was designed for this particular
site to meet the demand and needs of people who are looking to shift residences or
move into Edina; that the proposed project responds to the Comprehensive Plan,
meets the Zoning Ordinance requirements and follows the precedent established by
other approved developments in Edina. Mr. Wilson then responded to general ques-
tions of the Council regarding comparision of price range of the proposed units
with adjacent.-properties, exterior materials, windows, and lot coverage. Melvin
Gittleman stated he was the developer of Dewey Hill Condomiums, East and West and
of the proposed South building.
ment for these reasons: 1) the development will be out of scale to the surround-
ing area because the site has existing three-story buildings on three sides,
2) the density is too high, 3) lot coverage not compatible with adjacent develop-
ments. Dave Kohner, President of Windwood Homeowners Association, advised that
30% of the members of the Association are opposed to the proposed development and
that at its February meeting Windwood's Board of Directors had voted unanimously

that only one public hearing is required prior to submission of the application to
Hennepin County. Urban Hennepin County has been given a planning allocation of
$3,101,000 by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Year XI
of the program. Edina's share of $167,005 represents a decrease of $2,500 from
the previous year. With the exception of the proposed amount for removal of
slum and blight conditions, all projects are a continuation of those in existence
for the last several years. Mr. Larsen stated that Thomas Esser, Executive
Director of South Hennepin Human Services Council, has requested that the City
continue the same level'of support from the CDBG Program for their H.O.M.E.
program. Removal of Slum and Blight Conditions, in the amount of $108,205, is
proposed as a new project for Year XI. The project would be targeted to redevelop-
ment activities in the Grandview,Area Tax Increment District. The funds would most
likely be used to assist the redevelopment of the Biltmore Motel site, but may be
used on other redevelopment activities in the District.

DEMOLITION OF WOODDALE SCHOOL BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENTS TO SITE AUTHORIZED.
Mr. Rosland recalled that at its meeting of March 18, 1985, the Council had given
concept approval on the recommendations of the consultant/staff regarding the
Wooddale School site, Utley Park and West 50th Street and had directed the staff
to prepare revised plans with costs that would incorporate the Council's wishes
on the three issues. Costs for the first section include:
Wooddale School demolition $175,000.00
Site improvement 25,000 .OO
42 parking spaces on east side of
Wooddale park 35,137.20
(includes construction cost, engineering and capitalized
interest)
Mr. Rosland pointed out that the estimated costs can be offset by the remaining
$75,000.00 froni the School District, $100,000 from the Park Budget on a four-year
$25,000 per year contribution, $25,000 from the Developers' Fund, and a proposal
to develop an assessed project to St. Stephen's Church for the parking lot,
similar to the Colonial Church project at Countryside Park. If the Council
authorizes the staff recommendations, the Wooddale School building would be
demolished, the parking lot with access off Wooddale Avenue would be constructed
together with some site improvements to prepare its use as a park.
by Council, input would be obtained from the neighborhood as to the design of the
park prior to award of bids for the work. Mr. Rosland advised that the Edina
Foundation Board met with representatives of the Edina Historical Society and
are considering the possibility of holding the Edinamite benefit at Wooddale School
as a summer celebration in conjunction with the Society on a tentative date of
July 13, and that demolition could start probably within the following week.
regard to West 50th Street, Mr. Rosland reported that the variance procedure has
been initiated for the section from Wooddale Avenue to Halifax Avenue. He noted
that a formal public hearing must be conducted for the West 50th Street recon-
struction project.
of parking spaces on the Wooddale and Utley Park sites we should insure that
St. Stephens Church should participate by sharing in the cost of the entire project.
He reiterated that the proposed uses for the park should be discussed with the
neighborhood before final plans are set. Mr. Rosland indicated that the amount of
money'recommended to be spent there would not complete the park as might be desired
and that at budget time the Council may wish to discuss further expenditures.
Donna Skagerberg, representing the Edina Historical Society was present and briefly
summarized a memorandum prepared by Foster Dunwiddie and herself regarding the need
to find other facilities for the Edina Histhrical Society's collection which is
now located in the Wooddale School.

locations have been identified which would perhaps form an.Edina historical center
and the Society's goal is to be relocated in time for the Edina Centennial in 1988
and to dedicate the entire project at that time.
Member Turned moved the following action:
1) To approve the financing plan as outlined by staff,
2) Tcr authorize plans and speeifications for the total demolition of the Wooddale
School building,
3) To negotiate with St. Stephen's Church for an assessed parking lot project,
using the Colonial Church/Countrysi.de Park as a model,
4) To proceed with the initial park development after input from the neighborhood
to determine the best plan, and
5) To set August 1, 1985, as the date by which the Wooddale School building must
be vacated.

REPORT GIVEN ON LIGHT RAE TRANSIT. Mayor Courtney introduced Elliott Perovich,
Chairman of the Regional Transit Board (RTB), who was present to report on light
rail transit. Mr. Perovich said that Alison Fuhr, TRB Board Member, is doing an
excellent job in representing District 11 which includes Edina.
the light rail transit issue has been around for many years and there has always
been discussion about connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul by some type of rail
system. More recently, the Metropolitan Council has said that-all metro transit
will be rubber-tired. In 1980 the legislature mandated to the Council that they
reconsider transit in the University Avenue and Southwest corridors to look for
a better alternative to the regular route bus service.
Hennepin County purchased the abandoned right of way of the C & NT? Railroad from
downtown Minneapolis all the way out to Victoria.
into a joint powers agreement with Minneapolis, who is interested in the Hiawatha
corridor, with St. Paul, who is interested in light rail between the cities, and
other suburban cities to do an implementation study. The study was to look at all
three corridors with the presumption that there were preferred alternatives to
the bus system. Following that study, the Regional Transit Board was formed whose
task it was to study all aspects of the transit issue and to then make a recommen-
dation to the Council.
corridor was a priority and that light rail was the recommended major mode of transit.
By approximately June, a contract for preliminary design and engineering on the
University corridor and connecting links will be awarded.
following schedule: 1) one and a half years for the preliminary design and engineer-
ing, 2) by December 1986 decide whether light rail is really feasible, 3) if it
is deemed feasible, necessary legislation will be sought in the 1987 session,
4) construction of track to begin in late 1987 or early 1988, and 5) approximately
2 to 3 years to complete the 10 plus miles of tract between Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Mr. Perovich pointed out that whatever expenditure for the preliminary design and
engineering, that 70 to 75% of that expenditure will be useable for planning transit
in any of those corridors regardless of whether light rail is feasible or not; that .
it would be a total transit analysis.
needs analysis for the total metro area to try to identify the major transit
corridors and how to improve transit through the area.
University corridor is about $365,000,000 and if the system is routed underground
in dpwntown Minneapolis it would add about $80,000,000 to the cost. Mr. Perovich
also explained other functions of the XTB in addition to the light rail transit
issue.

was passed relating to firefighters relief associations but that provision for
survivors' benefits was somehow not included in the state-wide law. He introduced
William A. Bierman, of the firm of Sieloff and Bierman, who had formerly worked
for the Minnesota Senate to explain the proposed legislation. Mr. Bierman said
that the proposed legislation would repeal a portion of a special law relating to
the Edina Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association with regard to survivors'
benefits.
In seeking to come under the state-wide law by repealing the special law the
Edina Association does not seek to change any benefits that it now pays, but it
would allow increases in survivors' benefits over a period of time if the funding
in the association were sufficient. He added that the chief author of the bill,
H.F. 1273, is Mary Forsythe who has advised that the legislative tradition in
the House favors approval of all local bills by the local governing body.
treasurer of the Edina Association, stated that currently under the special law
the survivors' benefit and funeral benefit is frozen at $135/mo. and this change
hlaw would permit an increase in the benefits in the future if warranted.

Block 3, Crocker and Crowell's First Addition to the State so that the land may

Mr. Hoffman recalled that the lots were acquired from the State by the City of Morn-

However, there is now no runoff of water from the streets because of construction
of storm sewers and the property is no longer required for that purpose.
that there is some drainage of water from Lot 8
properties in St. Louis Park. Mr. Hoffman identified two concerns that should be
considered before taking any action on the request: 1) that the immediate neighbors
should be notified of the request, and 2) the impact of adding hard surface to
Lot 8 on the properties in St. Louis Park. It was informally agreed by the Council
that the neighbors should be notified and the matter then be brought back for

PAYMENT OF 911 CHAXGES FClR ALI SERVICES AUTHORIZED. Mr. Rosland recalled that when
the 911 System was put in place in December of 1982, there were three levels of
service available: 1) automatic routing, in whi'ch a telephone dialing 911 anywhere in
Edina would be automatically routed to Edina's dispatch office, 2) automatic number
identification (ANI), in which the telephone number of the calling party would be
displayed at the dispatch -center, and 3) automatic location identification (&I) , in
which the address of the calling number would be displayed at the dispatch office.
It was the understanding of the cities when 911 was established that the State would
pick up the automatic rounting costs together with the costs for the ANI service.
The cost for ALI equipment at our dispatch point was to be funded by us, and that the
initial capital cost, together with the ongoing servicing costs of the central
computer for ALI would be funded by the counties.

to collect those charges.

and moved adoption:
WHEREAS, the City of Edina and the other independent PSAP's in Hennepin County
initially selected the ALI feature of 911, in part based on the County's apparent
agreement to refund the monthly service charges related to ALI, and
WHEREAS, Hennepin County hasfadamantly refused to pay those charges as an obligation
since the inception of 911, and
WHEREAS, a majority of the independent PSAP's proposed a compromise in which
Hennepin County would pick up all charges through June 30, 1984, and
WHEREAS, in that compromise the City of Edina would pay the applicable monthly
charges for the ALI service in addition to the equipment charges they are already
paying from July 1, 1984, forward, and
WHEREAS, it is of greater benefit to the taxpayers of the City of Edina, to pay
its own charges rather than having the County pay its charges even though the
City of Edina taxpayers still pay a partdm of the ALI'costs for the dependent
cities;
