various programs which had been proposed.

what intergovernmental transfers do other than as it impacts upon the budget.
in years past the Council will look at adopting a budget based upon the cost of
delivery of services to the citizens of Edina. That budget is approximately
$13,000,000 reflecting an increase of 4.7% over last year's budget of which 85%

Abrams, 7653 Woodview Court, and Ray and Jane Martin, 5909 Halifax Avenue. He

Ed Norbut, 7312 Schey Drive, said he had contacted approximately 55 fiomes about
the notice of the proposed property tax increase. The response was a universal
tone of desperation that taxes are becoming confiscatory.

has to stop. There is a latent and universal anger about what is happening to our
whole taxing system.

Glen Eaton, 4328 France Avenue, said he was opposed to the 11.7% property tax
increase and that he understood that in 1991 the homestead credit will be gone.
He added that the citizens should be notified at the start of the budget process

Walt Sandison, 4612 W. 58th Street, spoke in support of the 4.7% increase in the
City's 1990 Budget noting that the services provided are excellent. He said the
greatest share of the proposed property tax increase is due to the action of the
legislature and the governor.
Phyllis Carter, 4613 Casco Lane, asked for guidance as to how citizens could be
effective in getting the attention of the legislature.
Peter Hanson, 6025 Pine Grove Road, commented that he fele the City should have
notified homeowners of the proposed property tax increase'by a mailed notice. He
said his property taxes have gone up $2,000 in the last three years and that they
amount to approximately 10% in relationship to his income. He said that if the
increase continues it will force people on fixed incomes out of the City. He
asked what would happen if the City did not increase the budget for 1990.
Ben Payne, 4614 Bruce Avenue, said he could sense the Council's frustration and
that he believed the City is run in a fiscally responsible manner.

Manager Rosland explained that the truth in taxation notice was mandated by the
legislature. The first notice was published in October and when the rules were
changed the notice was republished again on December 4 for the third time. The
City has been leading the cause for property tax relief by participating in
lobbying efforts through the League of Minnesota Cities, the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities and the Municipal Legislative Caucus. He suggested
that citizens work within the political party system to get legislators elected
who believe in a different property tax system. He said there is no question but
that the metropolitan suburbs, including Edina, are being eaten alive by the
present tax system.

present state leadership.
Jim Grant, 4604 Bruce Avenue, asked what would happen if there was no increase in
salaries - would the employees quit. He suggested that the way to deal with the
unions would be to give them the dollars requested but less personnel.

Comments were made by the Council Members summarized as follows: Member Smith
commented that he felt the 1990 Budget was as tight as it'could be, given the
circumstances. Next year the Council may have to look at broader areas as to
reducing the level of services if that is what the citizens want. Also, the City
should probably not rely on receiving any local government aid from the state.
Member Rice said he would support the budget. As to the notice given, he said the
City is trying to find a vehicle to better communicate with the citizens.
Reapportionment will be crucial and will be the only way the suburbs will get back
in balance with the rest of the state.
suggest the City should cut its services.
letters continuously from citizens who are appreciative of the superior services
they receive. Member Paulus commented that it is difficult to represent all the
people of Edina, both vocal and non-vocal and also the children. We need to keep
Edina as a premier city. If the City were not to increase its budget that action
would not induce the legislature to follow suit. She said she was well aware of
the tax burden on each household and especially on those on fixed incomes.
Further, there is an increased need for police and fire services given the
increase in traffic because of the number of people who come to work in the City.
She said that the ability of the City to respond to individual needs of its
citizens are what makes Edina the community that people continue to buy into.
Demographics show that there is a large population of young families who are
making sacrifices to live in Edina. She concluded by saying that she would
support this budget for the city as a whole.
been a difficult budget process. The services being demanded by our citizens are
increasing as the population is changing and the social services area is growing.
Also, more is being mandated to local government. She said the Council is willing
to do what it can to give the citizens the kind of services they want for the
community.

Engineer Hoffman explained that Delaney Boulevard, which is a curving and rustic
roadway, has existing street lights only at the intersections. He said that he
had received six telephone calls from residents regarding the proposed project;
three were in favor of the project, two objected because their building did not
face Delaney Boulevard, one person said she preferred not to have the lights but
would go along with the wishes of the majority. The property owners proposed to
be assessed basically are the Windwood condominiums and the westerly Pondwood
condominium building.

the apparent inequity in that in all these years Delaney has had no street lights.
Other major streets have had lights installed when they were constructed. He
asked why they are being assessed for the six street lights to be installed on
Delaney when only the southern three lights will benefit their properties. He
reiterated that they want the lights but they believed that the other property
owners, beyond Long Brake Trail, should pay for the portion from which they will
directly benefit.

Frank Coyle, 7500 Cahill Road (Windwood), said that he also was concerned about
the proposed assessment. He observed that Delaney-Dewey Hill-Cahill-78th is a
popular walking route and is used by residents living within the perimeter. He
asked that the City re-evaluate the assessment on the basis of the benefits that
would be shared by everyone within that area.
Bob Gibbs, 7510 Cahill Road (Windwood), commented that there is a road which comes
into Delaney from the Dewey Hill condominiums that is heavily used by those
residents. He said he felt that the assessment would be unfair if it did not
include all those who would benefit.
Pat Westberg, 7500 Cahill Road (Windwood), said that there is an equity in the
proposed assessment and that the Dewey Hill people should be included.

The Council then discussed the issue of expanding the assessment area to include

CONCERNS OF NEIGHBORS HEARD REGARDING ADDITION AT 4515 DREXEL AVENUE: MATTER
CONTINUED TO 1/2/90 Manager Rosland commented that neighbors in the area of the
subject property, 4515 Drexel Avenue, are concerned about the impact of the
addition on adjacent properties. He referred to a memorandum from the Planning
Department dated December 18, 1989 which provided background information on the
issue.
On October 11, 1989, a building permit was issued for an attached two-car garage
with a master bedroom suite on the second floor. Construction has been
progressing for approximately six weeks.
the issues are:
Applicable setbacks for the addition and
Side Yard Rear Yard
Attached garage 5 feet 5 feet
Living space 5 feet 25 feet
1. City policy has been to permit the 'leave space" created by the roof framing of
living space above garages to be within the setback provided the living space
itself is 25 feet from the rear property line as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The height and bulk of conforming two story additions in the rear yard on
small lots may reduce sunlight and privacy for adjoining neighbors.
The project meets the requirements and policies of the City's applicable
ordinances as interpreted and applied consistently over the years by City
officials. Should the neighbors desire to pursue alteration of the addition, the
normal court procedures are available to them. Any change to the current
construction would therefore have to be pursuant to a court order.
Both issues relate to the massing issue which was reviewed by the Council recently
and on which discussions were postponed until April 1990. Obviously, the
neighbors in this case feel that the requirements of the City are not restrictive
enough. However, there are some residents in the Country Club District and other
areas who desire large additions and feel the requirements are too restrictive.
Manager Rosland concluded the presentation by reminding the Council that the
Zoning Ordinance adopted in 1984 intensified the density on smaller lots.
Nancy Burbidge, 4518 Casco Avenue, said that they were concerned about the subject
addition which is on the other side of their low picket fence. Neighbors were not
notified about the project because there was no request for a variance and
therefore they did not know the constraints of the project. What has gone up is a
two and a half story structure, the base of which is a double garage with a
bedroom suite above. She said a building permit was granted by the City for the
structure which they feel violates the ordinance with regard to the rear yard
setback because the living area is only set back 20 feet. Also, a variance should
have been requested which procedure would have required the neighbors within 200
feet to be notified of the proposed addition so that they could have had input on

Council would have the power to deny what was considered acceptable.
Erickson opined that the law is clear in that if the permit was granted pursuant
to statute or ordinance the applicant is entitled to it. Staff has taken the
position that the applicant did comply and was entitled to the permit. In light
of those facts, a court order would be required to stop construction.
He affirmed staff's
Attorney
Jack Burbidge, 4518 Casco Avenue, argued that the structure that is 20 feet from
their back fence is two and one half stories high and that it is not all garage.
He said he strongly disagreed with the staff interpretation that the closet space
is non-living space. If this type of thing is allowed to continue, he said the
Country Club District will be a mess. Mr. Burbidge concluded by saying that they
feel the permit was issued without due process and that an after the fact variance
should be required.

that have been expressed. Further, he said there may not be a common ground of
understanding as to what is or is not the case. The issue is whether or not what
is being constructed is in compliance and consistent with the existing ordinance.
The Council may need additional information as to what was or was not done.
Lastly, Mayor Richards said the issue of massing is under review for the entire
City as we see the value of land going up and people wanting to add onto their
property. He proposed that this matter be continued and that staff be asked to
bring back information on the actual process they went through in reaching the
conclusion to approve the permit.

3) The Board approved the spin-off of the H.O.M.E. program to Senior Community
Services in Hopkins. Planner Craig Larsen has been asked to follow up and make
sure the services provided by H.O.M.E. are available to Edina residents.
4) The Board is meeting December 21 to revise the SHHSC budget to try to work
with the current level of funding.
5) A staff person from the City of Edina should be appointed to the Board.
6) Volunteers to SHHSC has asked that the Board meet with them.

funding of human services, e.g. that the City is getting a return for its

is giving to the surplus food distribution, a legitimate question is what services
