The subject property is within the 44th Street/France Avenue Tax Increment District
which was approved by the Council in April, 1990. On January 22, 1991, staff
prepared a report for Council concerning the status of the City's tax increment
districts. As noted in that report, the 44th/France District is affected by certain
provisions of the tax increment financing law adopted during the 1990 Legislative
Session.
prior to June 1, 1991, to preserve the status of the district:
i.
ii. Bonds must be issued to finance project cost; or
iii.
The law provides that at least one of the following actions must be taken
A development agreement must be entered into by the City for a site in
the tax increment financing district;
The City must acquire property in the district.
Unless one of these actions occurs by June 1,.1991, the district will no longer
qualify and will be decertified. If decertified, the 44th/France area would remain
in a development district along with the Wooddale/Valley View and 7Oth/Cahill areas.
The City could incur public cost at 44th/France, however, repayment of those costs
could be obtained only from tax increment districts that were not decertified
(presumably the 7Oth/Cahill District).
proponent, Kenneth Durr, has submitted a letter to the Council requesting City
participation in the acquisition of these properties through tax increment
financing. A development agreement with Durr, Ltd. would satisfy the statutory
criteria as to the 44th/France Tax Increment District. If the Council wishes to
pursue such an agreement, action must be taken promptly to meet the June 1, 1991
deadline.
In connection with the subject rezoning, the
The Community Development and Planning Commission considered the rezoning request at
its meeting of May 1, 1991, and unanimously recommended preliminary rezoning
approval and amending of the Comprehensive Plan, with the stipulation that the
parking variance be conditioned upon continuation of the existing use.

I In summary, comments and concerns expressed included objection to increasing the
parking lot area with potential for overnight problems, desire to keep the area
residential instead of commercial, concern that the character of the neighborhood
would be changed, additional traffic/noise, concern that rezoning would lower
property values, potential for further rezoning to commercial resulting in more
encroachment on the residential neighborhood, concern that the existing hill will be
lowered, loss of mature trees, and timeframe for the proposed construction.
Noelle and Jack Kujawski, 3920 W. 44th St., stated that they live next to the
proposed parking lot and would be the ones most affected by the redevelopment.
said that they felt the proposed redevelopment would be preferable to the existing
single family homes which are in poor condition and if sold would likely attract a
questionable type of neighbor. Ms. Kujawski commented further that 44th Street is
not a neighborhood - it is a commercial area.

Manager Hughes said the District could continue for 20 years. Because of the
diverse business ownerships in the area, the redevelopment would best be done in
pieces rather than all at once. He said it would be difficult to know if the
proposed Durr expansion would encourage further renovation or expansion in the area.

Mr. Brown further said that 50 more parking spaces have been acquired at a nearby
church lot until construction is completed. Hopefully, that can be continued on a
permanent basis after construction is finished. In conclusion, Mr. Brown said the
Committee would like the Council to consider the recommendations and adopt them. In
response to Member Rice, Mr. Brown said the biggest objection he had heard about the
plan was whether maximum parking should be five hours, without a sticker.
Engineer Hoffman then spoke to his memorandum of May 6, 1991, concerning the
Committee's report, summarized as follows:

Member Paulus commented that she felt the business employers should assume more
responsibility regarding where their employees park and suggested an ordinance
amendment that would impose a penalty on the employer if an employee were ticketed
for a ramp parking violation.
Mr. Brown observed that the Committee did extensive research on the issue of
enforcement. Southdale Center was contacted regarding their parking regulations for
employees. They advised that parking regulations are written in the lease and
employers are fined if there are violations; however, they admitted that their
approach does not work well.
Member Smith made a motion to approve the following action: 1) That a parking
enforcement agent be hired by the City, with total costs assessed back to the

MEMBERSHIP IN ENVIRO"TAI, CITIES COBLITION OXO) NOT APPROVED Janet Chandler,
Recycling Coordinator, spoke to the report and recommendation submitted by the
Recycling Committee to authorize the City to join the Environmental Cities Coalition
(ECO). The Recycling Commission
would recommend adoption of a resolution authorizing Edina to join the organization.
If Council agrees to this action, a Council Member would need to serve as Edina's

Membership in ECO is limited to elected officials.
Mayor Richards asked Coordinator Chandler her views on joining the organization.
Coordinator Chandler said that, because the ECO group is generous with sharing
information and allowing visitors to attend their meetings, she felt there was no

Ms. Hays said if someone were designated to go in the stead of an elected official

addressed and they felt if they banded together in the coalition, they could come up
with fact sheets and model ordinances that would be helpful and that would provide a
level of consistency.

REQUEST TO CLOSE W. 50TH STREET BETWEEN HALIFAX & FRANCE ON FRIDAY FOR EDINA ART
FAIR NOT APPROVED Karen Knutson, Executive Director of the 50th & France
Association, explained that the Association is requesting the Council to consider
the closing of West 50th Street between Halifax Avenue and France Avenue from 12:.00
noon until 8:OO P.M. on Friday during the Edina Art Fair, in the interest of
pedestrian safety. This year the request would be for Friday, June 7. She

Avenue and France Avenue on June 7, 1991, between the hours of 12:OO noon and 8:OO
P.M. Member Rice seconded the motion.
Chief Swanson recommended that West 50th Street not be closed to traffic on Friday,
June 7, 1991, based on normal commuter rush hour traffic between 3:OO P.M. and
7 P.M. The street will be closed on Saturday and Sunday as approved by the Council

the last three years in that specific area show one accident reported each month in
the hours between 3:OO P.M. and 7:OO P.M. The volume of traffic on a normal workday
is 18,000 vehicles per day. While it would be safer for the pedestrians/exhibitors,
