ORDINANCE NO. 2010-13 ADOPTED — AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EDINA CITY CODE CONCERNING INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSES Manager Hughes indicated the Council had granted first reading at its June 1, 2010, meeting to amend Section 900 of the code to permit the issuance of an intoxicating liquor license to bowling centers. He noted the revision made by the Council at First Reading clarifying that outdoor games were prohibited. Mr. Hughes advised the Page 1 Minutes/Edina City Council/June 15, 2010 Planning Commission would consider the request to amend past zoning approvals relative to amplification at outdoor restaurants and that matter would be considered by the Council at its July 20, 2010, meeting. The Council referenced correspondence received regarding outdoor wood burning fireplaces. Mr. Hughes indicated that a wood-burning fireplace was not prohibited by fire and building codes, but it had to meet design standards. If the Council supported further restriction, it would result in a broader application and require an ordinance revision. The Council also reviewed correspondence submitted by Arnie Bigbee regarding his visit to a Pinstripes establishment in Chicago, pictures of a sliding glass wall, and indication there had been no emanation of bowling noise to the bar and dining room areas. Following consultation with Attorney Knutson, Council consensus was reached to clarify the wording of section 1, subparagraph C, to indicate: "Bowling lanes and bocce courts and lanes shall be located indoors OF OR GOVeFed derks, Glaseable windows.

TRAFFIC SAFETY REVIEW OF JUNE 2. 2010, APPROVED Engineer/Public Works Director Houle presented the June 2, 2010, Traffic Safety Review and described its consideration of the resident request for stop signs at Brookview Avenue and West 55th Street. He reviewed the set of criteria used to consider the placement of residential stop signs and provisions of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Mr. Houle explained since there was a lack of warrants for a residential stop sign, staff recommended denial of the request for stop signs at Brookview Avenue and West 55th Street. However, staff agreed with the need to define traffic "right-of-way" at this intersection, so suggested the installation of a "yield" sign on West 55th Street for both east and west bound traffic at Brookview Avenue. Mayor Hovland invited residents to address the Council regarding this matter. Page 2 Minutes/Edina City Council/June 15, 2010 Alyssa Pankratz, 5429 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council and submitted a petition. Anne Tressler, 5533 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council. Sheryl Bare, 5508 Brookview Avenue, addressed the Council. The Council acknowledged this was a beautiful compact residential neighborhood without sidewalks to provide separation of pedestrians from the roadway. The Council noted that the installation of sidewalks would improve pedestrian safety. The Council indicated their belief that the requested stop signs would not provide a measure of safety sought by residents, and so they encouraged residents to file a petition requesting sidewalk installation. The Council and Traffic Safety Coordinator Tate discussed past requests for residential stop signs and warrants required to justify installation. The warrants were not met, and the requesting neighborhood does not experience cut-through traffic, so drivers were neighborhood residents. Mr. Houle stated that the neighborhood streets were scheduled for reconstruction in 2011. He add an open house and informational meetings were scheduled to be held in August and September. Mr. Houle suggested that residents request sidewalk and/or traffic calming measures that could be addressed as part of the planned neighborhood street reconstruction project. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Housh, approving Traffic Safety Review of June 2, 2010. Ayes: Brindle, Housh, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. *RESOLUTION NO. 2010-51 ADOPTED — ACCEPTING GRANT ON BEHALF OF EDINA FIRE DEPARTMENT Motion made by Member Brindle and seconded by Member Housh to adopt Resolution No. 2010-51, Edina Fire Department assistance to firefighters grant. Motion carried on rollcall vote—four ayes. COMMUNITY COMMENT Julie Mellum, 5700 York Avenue S., expressed support for regulating emission of wood smoke.
