He indicated the Council would respectfully listen to resident's testimony and act with integrity. Park and Recreation Director Keprios provided a presentation detailing the historical background and consideration of the Nine Mile Regional Trail. He advised of the benefits of the proposed walking/biking trail, which would be at the expense of the Three Rivers Park District. Mr. Keprios then presented the rationale used by the Parks Board to formulate its recommendation to approve a creek-based route for the proposed Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail subject to five restrictions and conditions. He presented the timeline for the trail project should it be approved by the Council, noting the City would have the opportunity for input during the construction document phase. Mr. Keprios thanked all residents and Commissions that provided input and Three Rivers Park District staff for their responsiveness and professionalism during this process.

Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. The Council asked Three Rivers Park District representatives to address questions raised during public testimony. Jonathan Vlaming,Three Rivers Park District, described their public safety division and patrols Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 7, 2010 conducted on an irregular schedule. The trails would close November 15 through March 31 unless the City wanted the trails to remain open and took responsibility for maintenance. Cris Gears,Three Rivers Park District Superintendent, clarified the Council was being asked to select a trail route with the understanding that construction would be several years into the future. If approved, the District would work closely with the City in creating the construction plans and would obtain all funding from various agencies including the District's tax revenues by issuing bonds. He advised that Legacy Funds were available for trails of regional or State significance. He assured the Council that if approved there would be no special assessment against Edina properties and the District would not enter into an agreement binding the City to construction of the trail or to grant easements until the final alignment was agreed to and all funding was in place. Mr. Gears advised that the Park District had no intention to require parking construction and any parking solution would be done in full cooperation with the city. Mr. Vlaming indicated the next grant funding cycle would be March through June, 2011, and if successful in obtaining grants, construction would be in 2015 and 2016. Boe Carlson, Three Rivers Park District, addressed homes that were in close proximity to the trail and assured the Council the District would work closely with the City and residents, on a one-on-one basis, to determine an acceptable proximity threshold and how the trail would be implemented to minimize impact through vegetation and physical materials. He explained that some cities permit a "patchwork" solution while others preferred a uniform aesthetic. Should a dispute over buffering arise, the Park District would work with the property owner to resolve the issue and had, in some cases, removed fences when the property owners felt they were no longer necessary. The Council asked whether the Park District would provide screening if the house was located 150 feet from the trail. Mr. Carlson stated the Park District would work closely with the City to identify those "pinch points," determine the threshold, and look at all considerations. In addition, neighborhood design meetings would be scheduled during the development process to identify those issues at the front end so such locations were known prior to the final design stage. With regard to public safety, Mr. Carlson indicated the Park District had over 100 miles of regional trail through Hennepin County that experienced two million annual visitors. Predominantly, conflicts were user related versus public safety instances. It was noted that Park District public safety officers patrol the trail system and the District was on the Hennepin County 911 system so it received calls at the same time and responded immediately. The Council asked whether an agreement had been reached, on a preliminary basis, regarding construction of a sound protective fence along the north bound ramp to TH100. Mr. Vlaming stated the sound barrier wall had been discussed for over two years and the City could require a reasonable sound wall or fence barrier as a condition in the Cooperative Trail Agreement. However, it would be preferable if all neighbors along that stretch were in agreement and it appears that was already the case. Mr. Vlaming addressed the boardwalk design, describing it to be 12 feet wide and of varied height determined by a technical team but was generally three feet above flowing water, similar in appearance to Luce Line boardwalks. The Park District was still considering surfacing options and had hired a sound engineer to gather data on the level of sound generated. The Park District would remove debris if on the boardwalk. It was noted that residents had cleaned debris after high water events. Mr. Gears reaffirmed that the Three Rivers Park District would not construct any regional trail that does not meet the City's needs and approval. The consideration tonight was approval of a trail corridor and concerns expressed would be addressed during the design process. Mr. Vlaming stated the Park District had provided a fact sheet regarding how trails influence property values that cited analysis of a study Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 7. 2010 prepared for Hennepin County Public Works involving four regional trails. It was generally found there was a bonus to the property that increased as the home neared the trail. Ciara Schlichting, Planner with Bonestroo, addressed the Council's questions regarding the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). She explained Bonestroo had conducted an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) which determined there were environmental effects but none significant enough to warrant the preparation of an EIS. The EAW was voluntary and found existing corridor conditions had been significantly impacted over time by residential construction, storm water practices, lawn chemicals and removal of natural vegetation. Issues determined would be subject to ongoing regulatory authority and dealt with during the design process. The EAW and record of decision also recognized several mitigation strategies to minimize impact on heritage mature trees. Ms. Schlichting advised the Three Rivers Park District had a history of mitigating and replacing trees in close proximity or where a larger tree was removed. The Council questioned the issue of liability should an injury occur on the trail. Attorney Knutson explained it was a nonissue if there was no negligence and, in any event, the trail would be owned by Three Rivers Park District, not the City. With regard to the comment about "form over function" and consideration of other segments deemed to have merit, Mr. Keprios explained that the consulting firms had identified several different routes but the route under consideration was felt to be the most beneficial and likely-to-be-used alignment. He advised that should the City want to consider alternate routes, it would be at the City's expense. Mr. Keprios noted the Three Rivers Park District had also studied the Canadian Pacific rail line for over a year but would need the cooperation of Canadian Pacific Railway to make that happen and so it was on the longer- term drawing board. Kevin Bigalke, Nine Mile Watershed District Administrator, explained how the Nine Mile Creek restoration project would interface and coordinate with simultaneous construction activities of the proposed trail to minimize disturbance. Mr. Bigalke stated that cost savings were possible should the same contractor be used for some of both restoration and trail work. It was noted the Creek restoration project would result in a more efficient system to move flood waters and create an ecologically sound amenity for the City, residents, and wildlife. Member Swenson made a motion, seconded by Member Bennett, to approve a creek-based route for the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail with the following restrictions and conditions: 1. Keep the trail on the south side of Walnut Ridge Park. 2. That Three Rivers Park District makes all reasonable efforts in the engineering/design phase to minimize boardwalk noise and height. 3. That Three Rivers Park District offers to provide homeowners with principle residences adjacent to the proposed regional trail edge the option to have buffers where reasonable and at Three River's expense. Buffer options are fencing or vegetative screening(trees,shrubs). 4. That Three Rivers Park District take reasonable steps to minimize the amount of boardwalks in the complex balancing act that also attempts to minimize the impact on the environment (wetlands,water quality,and vegetation). S. Place a time limit deadline on the easements offered to Three Rivers Park District to complete the project within a reasonable time frame. A reasonable time limit should be negotiated with Three Rivers Park District and that language should be included in the easement agreement. 6. That the final design shall minimize property impacts and be subject to Council approval. 7. That a reasonable sound wall be constructed for Segment 19 that was satisfactory to the City. Page 6 Minutes/Edina City Council/December 7. 2010 The Council discussed that this project would involve phased construction and funding cycles so more information was needed to determine a reasonable timeframe when easements should be returned to the City if the trail was not constructed. The Council agreed that the intention was clear in the self imposed condition by the Park District that a reasonable time limit would be negotiated and that language would be included in the easement agreement. Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Housh, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING HELD — 2011 LIQUOR LICENSE FEES Affidavits of Notice presented and ordered placed on file. City Clerk Mangen explained Minnesota Statutes require the City to hold a public hearing after 30-day notice to license holders of its intention to raise liquor license fees. She presented the 2011 liquor license fees, noting that the 3.2 Beer on and off sale and temporary 3.2 beer licenses were the only fees proposed to be increased. Ms. Mangen advised that licensed beverage caterer licenses were granted by the State of Minnesota Public Safety Department and not individual cities. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 10:44 p.m. Public Testimony No one appeared to comment. Member Swenson made a motion,seconded by Member Brindle,to close the public hearing.
