SALE APPROVED FOR PART OF LOT 4, BLOCK 20, NORMANDALE ADDITION (PARK PROPERTY).
Mr. Rosland stated that the subject park property is generally located at West
66th Street and West Shore Drive+and that this triangle of land was cut off
from Cornelia Park property when West Shore Drive was constructed. It now has
no specific parkland use, is just open space and is not-maintained except for
mowing a 6 foot.strip next to the road.

1985 meeting.
from the two lots he already owns and the City parcel that he proposes to buy.
Mr. Rosland said that the Park Board recommended approval of the sale of the
parcel for $28,000 to Mr. Danielson according to the terms set forth on
Document "A" attached to the Park Board minutes. Document "A" showed the value
of the rawland at $28,000 and that after improvements the value of the lot is
estimated at $62,400. Mr. Kojetin presented a graphic of the subject parcel
and pointed out a proposed platting for the two new lots which would include
Mr. Danielson's homesite. He stated that Mr. Danielson is willing to sign a
developer's agreement for extention of utflities to the proposed plat. All
property owners within a 250' radius were invited to the Park Board meeting
so they could voice opinions regarding the proposed sale.
in attendance were Gunnar Danielson and Sheldon Danielson. Mr. Kojetin
reported that the neighbor to the north of proposed Lot 3 was concerned that
his back yard would be disturbed to enable sewer and water to be connected to
the lots but that no other comments had been received. If the sale is approved
by the Council, Mr- Kojetin commented that the proposed plat would be processed
in the normal procedure through the Community Development and Planning Commission
and the City Council.

would be based on all the raw land including the park parcel and a portion of
the property already owned by Mr. Danielson.
purchase price would be payable in full at the conclusion of the platting of
the property. Member Richards commented that he feels it is bad policy to
sell park property, but that it maybe is justified in this case because of
separation of the parcel from Cornelia Park by the roadway, but that he did
not approve it from a philosophical viewpoint.

but that he agreed with Member Richards' point about the purchase price.

BOARD/COMMISSION TERMS AND ATTENDANCE DISCUSSED. Mayor Courtney said that
letters had been sent to all board and commission members whose terms will
expire on February 1 asking them if they would like to be reappointed.
Mr. Rosland reported that the Community Development and Planning Commission
is the only commission that is limited by ordinance as to number of terms a
member may serve, that being a cumulative period of twelve or more years.
Mr. Hughes pointed out that most of the members were on the original Planning
Commission when the ordinance was adopted establishing the Community Develop-
ment and Planning Commission in February, 1978 and when the restriction of
12 years went into effect. Regarding attendance, Mr. Rosland advised that
Ordinance No. 162 provides that any member who fails to attend three conse-
cutive regularly scheduled meetings or any four meetings in the span of twelve
consecutive months shall automatically be removed from office.
discussion on the attendance issue, it was informally agreed that the Council
should contact the board/commission members whose attendance is in default
and to whom the Council members serve as liasion to discuss the matter and
get their reaction. The Council would then report the results at the next
meeting to determine the number of openings and then proceedwith the inter-
view process to fill those terms by the February 24 Council meeting.
Following
COUNCIL WORKSHOP DATE PREFERENCE SET. Mr. Rosland asked the Council members
for their preference as to workshop dates - March. 8 or 15 - to study the role
of the Council and also whether it should be held at City Hall or some other
location. He added that the choice for facilitator seems to be Barbara Amey
of Government Training Services. After discussion, it was informally agreed
that first choice.would be Mach 15 as to date and the Edina Community Center
as to location, subject to availability of the facilitator.
APRIL 7 COUNCIL MEETING DATE CHANGED TO APRIL 14. Mr. Rosland advised that
the April 7 Council Meeting would fall during the school spring break and
there may not be a quorum present because of other committments. Motion of
Member Richards was seconded by Member Turner to set April 14, 1986 as the
first Council Meeting in April.
Ayes: Bredesen, Kelly, Richards, Turner, Courtney
Motion carried.
HEARING ON DRAFT EIS FOR HENNEPIN COUNTY RESOURCE RECOVERY PROJECT NOTED.
Mr. Rosland called the Council's attention to a public hearing on the draft
environmental impact statement (EIS) on the Hennepin County resource recovery
project to be held on January 16, 7 p.m. at the Edina Community Center. The
county is proposing to construct a 1,000 ton-per-day waste-to-energy facility
and four transfer stations. The facility will be located in Minneapolis and

been identified in Hopkins, Brooklyn Park, Bloomington and Minneapolis. The
Hopkins site is county property located at 6th Avenue and 3rd Street and may
increase truck traffic on County Road 18 but likely would have no direct
effect on Edina. Mr. Larsen commented that after a review of the draft EIS
he found no ground for. the City to object. Obviously Hopkins is objecting on
the basis of air quality, odor, traffic, etc. and has asked Edina's support
in opposing the location, He added that the only allowed access to the site
will be via County Road 3 through Hopkins.
may be in the City's interest to say that we feel the draft EIS is adequate.
It was informally agreed that either Mayor Courtney, Member Richards or a
staff person would attend the public hearing to offer that comment.
Proposed transfer station locations have

LMC PROPOSED CITY POLICIES AND PRIORITIES FOR 1986 DISCUSSED. Mr. Rosland
commented that the 1986 Proposed City Policies and Priorities which have been
developed by the LMC Legislative Study Committees have been received with the
request that these be reviewed before the Legislative Conference on February 5
when city officials will adopt legislative policies.
Council review the proposed policies and that this be placed on the January 27
agenda for discussion of key areas so that the elected officials and staff
who will be attending the conference could express the Council's position on
the various issues. Member Turner commented that the Council should develop
comments to be made on tax increment financing, tax exempt financing and
local government aids which have been discussed by the Council in the past.
Member Bredesen said he did not agree with the League's policies regarding

It was informally agreed that these issues would be discussed further at the
January 27 Council meeting.
ANM PROPOSED POLICIES/LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS DISCUSSED; FISCAL DISPARITIES
OVERVIEW GIVEN. Hr. Rosland reminded the Council that the AEiM proposed
addendum to policies and legislative proposals would be considered by the
association membership at its meeting of January 9, 1986. In response to
the Council's request, an overview of fiscal disparities has been prepared.
Mr. Rosland then summarized the report, pointing out that in 1971 the legis-
lature passed the Fiscal Disparities Act, with a rather complicated formula,
whereby 40% of all commercial/industrial (C/I) development and inflation
grDwth 5rom 1971 on is contributed to a metropolitan pot and redistributed
based on population and fiscal capacity. After 15 years of operation, the
magnitude of distribution values, both in terms of net value decrease and
net value increase, is significant for many cities. If fiscal disparities
were repealed in total with no replacement or adjustments, property taxes
in many cities would increase very significantly just as they would decrease
in others.
will receive back $14,880.941 for a net loss impact of $36,954,055. Under
fiscal disparities the total mill rate (county, city, school) for Edina is
93.9; without fiscal disparities the mill rate would be 91.3.
home the cost of fiscal disparities is approximately $78.
committee presented ten recommendations to the MlM revenue committee which
were appraved with the exception of the one that a sales ratio adjustment
factor to the fiscal disparities contribution calculation be added to equalize
the differences in assessment practices among the various areas. The nine
recommendations approved by the revenue committee are mostly policy issues
and will not materially affect Edina.

included.
disparities pool. Member Turner commented that the AMM's policy on fiscal
disparities essentially says don't change it or if you do change it slowly.
She recalled that Edina's position or policy is either get rid of fiscal
disparities or return to the original intent. Mr. Rosland clarified that
if fiscal disparities cannot be eliminated, the AMiq's policy falls within
Edina's scope.
No formal action was taken.
In 1986 Edina will be contributing an estimated $51,834,996 and

MALL OF AEiERICA/FANTASYIJORLD DISCUSSED. Mr. Rosland recalled that the Council
bad briefly discussed the Mall of America and Fantasyworld project propsed to
be constructed in Bloomington at the last meeting and had asked the staff to
further review the traffic impact on Edina and bring back proposed positions
for the Council to consider.

apparent that the HNDOT position at the next'legislative session will be
that no funds are available for the Mall of America project unless there is new
appropriation. Several coalitions are being formed, i.e. Scott County and
the northern suburbs, to protect and promote highway funding for their res-
pective sub-regions. Mr. Hoffman has summarized unfunded highway improvement
costs relating to 1-494 and the Mall of 'America project as: - 116 million estimated cost for highway improvements on Cedar Avenue/I-494
in the vicinity of the Mall of America development. - 50 million estimated cost of improvements directly related to the Mall of
America project (this is part of the above 115 million figure). - 250 million additional needed for improvement of 1-494 from 34th Avenue
to T.H. 169 in Eden Prairie during the next 20 years if development
along 1-494 continues.

lot lines as single family homes. Based on this the City objected to issuance
of the license saying that since it would be occupied by ten persons it is a
multifamily use and must be in a R-3, R-4 or R-5 District. Mr. Larsen pointed
out that the ordinance would allow six persons in one of the units but because
it is considered a single family unit they would have to maintain 114 mile
spacing and consequently they could occupy one-half of the double but would
have to rent the other half on the open market.
the State Department of Human Services referred this matter to the Attorney
General for opinion. On January 3, 1986 the City received notice that the
Attorney General had given the opinion that R-2 was a multifamily zone and
