The property is zoned R-1 and was, until recently, developed with a single dwelling. The proponent, Mr. Folke Victorsen, had submitted a preliminary plat which would create two lots each being 97.5 feet in width and would contain 13,343 and 13,462 square feet of area respectively. The Zoning Ordinance requires that R-2 lots be 90 feet in width and contain a minimum of 15,000 square feet. Consequently, each new lot would need a lot area variance to become a buildable lot. Mr. Larsen pointed out that there are 29 lots between 60th Street and the Crosstown Highway east of France Avenue; 22 are zoned and developed R-2 lots with the remainder zoned and developed as single dwelling units. 75 feet to 100 feet, with an average lot width of approximately 86 feet.

The building has ten private parking spaces on the north side with the remainder of required parking provided by the municipal lot and ramp. Mr. Larsen added that the proponents have submitted a request to add a second floor to the.building which would approximately double the floor area of the building.

The policy stated that expansion up to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.0 should be permitted using existing public parking to satisfy parking requirements. Expansion between 1.0 and 1.5 FAR (the maximum permitted in the PC-2 District) would be permitted only if additional private parking was provided. Using the Zoning Ordinance definition of gross floor area, the FAR, following the proposed addition, would be 0.97. MY.

FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MAIL HANDLING', INC., AT 7225 WASHINGTON AVENUE SOUTH APPROVED. Planner Larsen explained that the subject property was originally developed as a roller skating rink. he converted it to its present mail processing and envelope-making operation. *- When the present owner acquired the property, This conversion included an up-grade of the exterior finish. Mr. Larsen continued that the owner has submitted a request to construct an addition to the east side of the building which would contain 8,235 square feet. Since the site is less than : three acres (2.12), the maximum allowable lot coverage is 30 percent. The proposed addition would increase the lot coverage to 31.5 percent; thus, a 1.5 percent lot coverage variance is requested. District required parking is determined by totaling the requirements for individual uses or one space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area, whichever is greater. Applying the requirement for individual uses, a parking requirement of 59 spaces resu3-s. However, at one space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area, a reqti.'. eaent of 73 spaces results. thus, a five-space parking quantity variance<is requested. Mr. Larsen added that in addition to a site plan, a landscaping plan and exterior elevations have been sub- mitted. which is split-face concrete block; the materials conform to the requirements of the Ordinance. materials, and the new stock appears to be below Ordinance minimums. MY. Larsen concluded that the owner's attorney, Peter Beck, described the proposal in a letter which provided justification for the request.

To a lesser degree, the Animal Control, Swimming Pool, Antenna .and. Garbage Ordinances are involved. Mr. Rosland indicated that this report could be referred to the Planning Commission for review of the recommendations and then return the study to the Council. Another possibility would be for the Council to get together in a study session. Member Bredesen suggested that the Planning Coinmission begin first with their review at the October 2 Planning Co&ission Meeting and then the report could be brought before the Council in a study session on the second Monday in November.

Member Kelly expressed her hope that Edina There being no EDINA REGULATIONS GOVERNING GARAGE SALES , ESTATE SALE$ AND' SUNDAY SALES DISCUSSED. Mr. Rosland explained that the key questions concerning this issue were the restriction of merchandise from outside the home and Sunday sales of property. The Garage Sale Ordinance states that the items offered for sale must be owned by the owner of the premises or by friends of the owner of the premises and shall not have been bought for resale or received on consignment for the purpose of resale. The Ordinance permits one sale of products per year on residentially-zoned property, and the maximum duration of a sale is 72 hours, or three days. Mr. Rosland indicated that the law states that an Edina resident cannot in theo$y sell anything 9/ 16/85 274 c on Sunday; with all the activity going on every Sunday, this statute is obviously in need of revision. Member Kelly asked if a neighborhood operation is different than a commercially-zoned operation; Mr. Erickson pointed out that the Ordinance does allow 72 consecutive hours for sales in residential areas which more than likely would occur on the days Friday through Sunday. Mr. Erickson also indicated that an ordinance that would indicate selling of property on Sunday in residential areas to be illegal would be enforceable. Member Bredesen questioned if this also encompassed the selling of a home on Sunday, or more specifically an open house. Mr:Erickson expected that this point would be included in the ordinance's restriction. Mr. Rosland explained that staff is now attempting to work'out a centerfold for the Edina Sun-Current- with "neighborly" reminders of the ordinances in this city. Member Turner would support this approach in reminding citizens of all kinds of activities., but she sees no distinction between an estate sale and a large party with regard.to the activity that is generated in the residential neighborhood. Therefore, she sees trying to enforce these types of Sunday activities as discrimina- tory and impossible. Sun-Current was unanimously supported. BIDS TO BE TAKEN FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Rosland reported that City staff has received a favorable preliminary review by MNDOT on the proposed reconstruction of Braemar Boulevard adjacent to the new Executive Nine Course. MNDOT was favorable with the additional funding allowance of an eight-foot bituminous path adjacent to the reconstructed roadway. The project is-to be tied to the golf course construction project with just one prime contractor in charge of all work, which allows for the use and re-use of the soils as necessary on the two projects. The roadway will be raised slightly to remain above the one hundred year flood elevation of the ponds being developed on the new course. the golf course work is approximately $235,000.00, and the roadwork is $459,000.00; significant costs can be funded under the state-aid roadway project. mended by Mr. Rosland, Member Bredesen offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ORDERING STREET IMPROVEMENT NO.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED SWPORTING PASSAGE OF HOUSE FILE 1273/SENATE FILE 1292. Rosland reminded the Council of the resolution adopted at the April 1, 1985, meeting which supported the passage of House File 1273/Senate File 1292. The purpose of the bill was to modify Edina's special law pertaining to the Edina Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association, which was being amended in order to avoid' the possibility of unintentionally reducing service benefits payable to survivors of young firefighters with less than five to seven years of service. During this last legislative session, that bill passed, and now in order to comply with Minnesota Statutes 645,02 and 645.021, the Council must pass another resol- ution approving the enactment of this law before it becomes effective. no further discussion, Member Kelly offered the following resolution and moved its adoption : Mr. There being RESOLUTION SUPPORT~NG PASSAGE OF HOUSE FILE 1273/SENATE FILE 1292 WHEREAS, the Edina Volunteer Firefighters Relief Association was established to provide benefits for Edina's Uolunteer Firefighters; and Minnesota (1965) Chapter 592, as amended by Chapter 644 (1969), and Chapter 229 (1975); and WHEREAS, the 1979 StBte Legislature passed the Codified Chapter 4248 of Minnesota Statutes to standardize governance and eliminate special laws governing these individual associations, repealing the section of Edina's special law relating to pension benefits; and WHEREAS, House File 729 addresses the special Edina law relating to survivor benefits.

ORDINANCE NO. 1232-AZ ADOPTED; SECOND READING WAIVED. Mr. Rosland explained that the City has issued parking permits to persons employed at 50th and France since the parking ramps were constructed in 1975. Permit holders are allowed to park without regard to the hourly limits imposed within the ramps. $15.00 annually and are issued only to those employed at Edina businesses at 50th and France. Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 1232, we were originally limited to a maximum of 400 permits per year. In 1980, the Council amended the ordinance to increase the number of permits to 500. On August 6, 1985, the 50th and France Business and Professional Association requested an increase from 500 to 600. Based on a survey conducted by Mr. Hughes, Assistant City Manager; to determine the number of stickered vehicles parked at a given time, Mr. Rosland recommended that the number of permits be increased from 500 to 525 and the occupancy of the ramps be evaluated during the next several months to determine if the ordinance should be modified further prior to the sale of permits next April. Member Turner questioned the increase to only 525 rather than 600; Mr. Hughes explained that approving 100 additional permits would put the ramp at capacity. Member Bredesen questioned whether new stickers could be reissued; Mr. Hughes indicated that this is done and that if an employee cancels then a new sticker is issued to a new employee. Mr. Hughes noted that there is a new color for the stickers each year. Member Kelly questioned raising the parking fee to better cover the maintenance of the ramps, and this raised fee might reduce the demand. Mr. Hughes explained that if there isn't enough space in the ramps then employees park in the neighborhood. Member Richards suggested increasing the number of permits from 500 to 600 and leaving the fee at $15; in doing so, this would reserve the right to revoke those over 500 if so deemed necessary. With no further discussion, Member Richards introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption, with waiver of Second T *-ding: Permits cost ORDINANCE NO. 1232-A2 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1232 PERMITTING ISSUANCE OF 600 50TH AND FRANCE PARKING RAMP PERMITS THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS: number of permits allowed to be issued for the 50th and France Parking Ramp Permits from 500 to 600.
