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.

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. and should take a proportinate share of the profit when the lot is sold after platting or Nr.

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.

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.

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 cogenerate steam and electricity. 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 Member Richards commented that it 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 He suggested that the 1/6/86 66 , I federal legislation and felt they did not reflect the Coukil's position. 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. ment districts were exempt from the pool up until 1979 but have since been 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 On a $125,000 The AMM sub- Mr. Rosland clarified that tax incre- In addition, some projects have been exempted from the fiscal Member Turner commented that this review has been very helpful. 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. Fran Hoffman which identified the primary focus for Edina as the capacity of Highway 1-494. identifies metro highway needs which include eventual widening of 1-494 from 169/212 to T.H. 100 to six lanes and is the only segment of 1-494 identified in the program- for any major transportation improvements to 1-494 in this area. 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. . He referred to a memorandum prepared by Engineer The Metropolitan Council's Transportation Improvement Program In the current MNDOT 20-year plan no funding is identified It is 'I a. Rosland commented that the City could develop any one of a combination of positions as set out in the memorandum. Staff would suggest the following be .considered: B) The 1-494 Corridor Study be initiated with all due haste and no higfi;crTay funding be granted until the study is completed. Study must include 'travel demand management and land use management in the appropriate travel sheds. D) The current programmed highway funding remain intact and additional funding be provided for. 1-494 for improvements between T.H. 100 and T.H. 169/212 in Eden Prairie, and E) If the Mall of America project continues, no special tax relief plan be developed other than normal tax relief used, i.e. tax increment financing. conveyed to our legislators as it appears that some special legislative action will be necessary for the Mall of America project to proceed.

Mr. Rosland said that these comments could be conveyed to our legislators or he would try to arrange a meeting between the Council Members and our legislators on Saturday, January 25 at 8 a.m. when the Council will be meeting to review the Comprehensive Plan. It was informally agreed to attempt to meet as stated and if the legislators are not available then the comments would be sent on to them. Member Turner stated that she felt the 1-494 corridor study is Member Richards commented that we should go on record MANAGEMENT AUDIT AND COMMITTEE CANDIDATES DISCUSSED. Mr. Rosland called attention to a letter from Ralph Andersen & Associates summarizing the major elements of a management audit as well as more detailed management studies and explained that this summary may be useful to the Council in describing the assignment to prospective members of the Management Audit Committee. With regard to names of prospective members of the committee, Mr. Rosland said if the.Counci1 will give him their suggestions he would have a list compiled for reference in making the committee selection.

Zoning Ordinance provides that this type of facility is permitted in the R-3, R-4 or R-5 Districts. 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 The application was for ten persons plus staff and proposed The City is controlled by The statute says that six or Seven to sixteen The application therefore Mr. Larsen said that staff has The .

Mr. Larsen said that the option most likely for success would be to research the possibility of amending the Zoning Ordinance. group home would be grandfathered in and permitted. . that he felt the proposed usage would be incompatible with the neighborhood usage. Member Turner asked what the philosophy was in not allowing a.group home of ten individuals plus staff in an R-2 District. that staff has presumed that neighborhoods have a level of tolerance for certain types of facilities and that that tolerance level should apply to the R-2 District the same as the R-1 District. we should take a look at the Zoning Ordinance and attempt to strengthen the intent that the R-2 District be considered single family useage. Turner said that she felt this should not be pursued in court until the Council had a chance to discuss what might be done to the Zoning Ordinance 'to protect the R-2 District from this type of usage and the implications overall. Mr. Larsen pointed out that the subject license will probably be issued this coming week and that the Department of Human Services would be responding to our letter of .objection.
