I CONCERN OF RESIDEMT HEARD REGARDING POLICY ON CURB CUTS/DRIVEXAY HATERIAIS FOR COlTNTRY CLUB DISTRICT Mayor Richards recalled that at the meeting of June 18, 1990, the Council took action to give direction to staff and to reaffirm existing policy concerning-curb cuts, sidewalk and driveway materials for the Country Club District as follows: 7/2/90 127 1) The material for sidewalk on the public right of way be standard concrete. 2) The material for driveway from the sidewalk to the street be standard concrete. 3) Each platted lot be allowed one curb cut only or share a driveway with an adj oining property. The matter was brought to the Council because a request had been received for use of different driveway material and approval of a circular driveway. Dr. Christian Schrock, 4500 Drexel Avenue, referred to his letter dated June 26, 1990 in which he asked to be placed on the Council Agenda to discuss the policy on curb cuts and driveway materials for the Country Club District. neither he nor his landscaper were notified that his request would be discussed at the last Council meeting and he felt that they had a right to present the rationale and background for their proposal. Dr. Schrock presented a schematic of his property and explained that their home is iocated at a busy intersection - the corner of Sunnyside and Drexel. When backing out of their driveway traffic can be coming from five directions. They have found it very difficult and have experienced several near accidents. they want to avoid any dangerous situations for their upcoming teenage drivers and thought that a circular driveway would be a logical solution. concerned with maintaining the integrity of the architecture and historic standards of the Country Club District they felt that what they are proposing would improve the beauty of the home and preserve its integrity. the circular driveway would be brick pavers similar to the pavers installed at Edina Country Club and would be more durable than concrete. their lot frontage is 224 feet and the proposed circular driveway would only take up one-third of that frontage. In addition, they would put in wrought iron fencing and attractive plantings to enhance the landscaping. Mayor Richards asked Dr. Schrock if they or their landscape architect had considered a turn-around area as an alternative so that they could drive out facing the street to address their concern about safety. looking at their yard they felt the circular driveway would be best. Richards said he was specifically concerned with treating everyone fairly. Council allows one homeowner to vary from the standards it sets a precedent and the potential for others coming in with similar requests. What is proposed would create a lot of hard surface and something that can and should be considered is a turn-around area for individual properties. Mayor Richards assured Dr. Schrock that a fair presentation was made as to the policy on multiple curb cuts on individual properties throughout the Country Club District. Dr. Schrock argued that the way to solve this is to look at which properties have enough frontage to support the concept of a turn-around. frontage to make that feasible. driveways for those lots having a certain amount of frontage. the Curtis property in the Country Club District has a circular driveway with less frontage than that of .his property. He said that Dr. Schrock said Because they are The material for He pointed out that Dr. Schrock said that in If the Mayor There are not too many that have enough What should be considered is allowing circular He submitted that Member Rice commented that he would not be in favor of two curb cuts as proposed. The existing fence creates somewhat of a hazard for backing out and he felt the site plan could be reviewed as to a turn-around. He said he was concerned about comments in Dr. Schrock’s letter that they were mislead by staff. explained that the proposal was brought to staff last winter prior to the development of the massing issue. lot coverage in the Country Club District was brought up and felt the specific proposal should be brought to the Council before any permits were granted. Engineer Hoffman affirmed that the Schrocks were somewhat victims of the process because the City was in a period of transition on the massing issue. Mrs. Schrock. reviewed the sequence of events beginning with the first time a rough sketch of Manager Rosland Staff was sensitized further when the issue of 128 7/2/90 their proposal was brought to the Planning Department until June 22 when they were told of the policy denying more than one curb cut in the Country Club District. She said they had spent a lot of time, effort and money on the plan for the circular driveway and had relied on information that they were complying with requirements. Dr. Schrock commented that he felt the policy was created after the fact and that their personal rights were violated. Mayor Richards commented that the Council can empathize with the Schrock’s position but that the final decision is the Council‘s responsibility. is actually issued there is no approval. I . There is a process involved and until a permit Mayor Richards concluded by saying that the Council had re-affirmed the long standing policy for the Country Club District at the last meeting. reiterated the policy as it pertains to: 1) material for sidewalk on the public right of way, 2) material for driveway from the sidewalk to the street, and 3) curb cuts and asked the Council members to state if they wished to depart from the existing policy. policy stands for the Country Club District. He then Hearing no comment, Mayor Richards stated that the existing A1 Hipps, landscape architect, observed that from the beginning of his involvement with the Shrocks, they were given optimism at the staff level that what they were proposing was going to be acceptable to the City and that at no time during the whole process were these issues brought up. there does not seem to be any concrete document that pertains to the Country Club area. Further, the City is full of circular driveways, paver driveways, and downtown Edina has brick paver areas between the curbs and sidewalks. concluded with the comment that the Shrocks have spent a lot of time and energy in trying to develop a project within the integrity of the Country Club area and that it was frustrating to find out that this was brought to the Council two weeks ago and that no one told them it was being discussed so that they could be a part of the hearing. PETITION REGARDING CONDITION OF ALT.EY IN 5100 BLOCK BETCJEEN BEDFORD AND OXFORD AVENUES REFERRED TO ENGINEERING DEPARTMEXT FOR RECOMMENDATION Manager Rosland presented a petition dated June 28, 1990, signed by residents on Bedford and Oxford Avenues regarding the current condition of the service alley located on the 5100 block. of the normal assessment process, that could be taken towards pavement of the alley.

Half of the properties have detached garages which are accessed from the alley while the other half have attached garages which are accessed from the street. Also, some of the properties are rental properties where the non-resident property owner is not directly affected. For these reasons all previous attempts to petition for paving the alley through the assessment process have failed. He said the property owners who use the alley are somewhat in agreement that the residents who do not use the alley directly should not have to incur the same amount of cost as those who would be directly benefitted. He explained that the condition of the alley is dependent on weather In dry weather, the passage of each.vehicle creates a large cloud of He As stated in Mr. Morris said the affected residents are asking for a variance in the petition system so that the alley could be paved and any assessed charges be fairly pro-rated so that property owners actually using the alley would pay a greater share. be applied towards the cost of the paving.

She said the petitioners are asking for a minimum upgrade Mayor Richards asked when the last petition for paving the alley was presented. Engineer Hoffman said it probably was in the early 1970's. policy of the City is to pick up 25% of the cost of concrete paving for alleys, because of its durability and ease in maintaining, but nothing for asphalt. He suggested that the petition be referred to the Engineering staff for review and cost estimates and be brought back for public hearing. Member Smith made a motion to refer the petition for paving of the alley in the 5100 block between Bedford and Oxford Avenues to the Engineering Department for processing and recommendation. He explained that the Motion was seconded by Member Kelly.
