MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 4,1998, APPROVED Member Kelly asked approval of the Minutes of May 4, 1998, be removed from the Consent Agenda for addition of a graph submitted by Planner Larsen during the meeting. Motion made by Member Kelly and seconded by Member Maetzold approving the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of May 4,1998, as amended. Ayes: Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. ORDINANCE NO. 850-A14 GRANTING FINAL REZONING AND OAKS LINCOLN TOWNHOMES FINAL PLAT APPROVED FOR NAMRON COMPANY, LLC, NORMAN BTORNNES, 51XX LINCOLN DRIVE, GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF TH169 AND LINCOLN DRIVE Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation by Planner Planner Larsen noted that Council granted Preliminary Rezoning and Plat approval to the request of Namron Co., LLC, allowing a 39-unit rental townhouse development on Lincoln Drive at their February 2, 1998 meeting. Namron has now requested Final Rezoning and Final Plat approval for the development known as Oaks Lincoln Townhomes. Planner Larsen explained that the site plan continues to illustrate five units on the northerly 2/3 acre portion of the site that are not: part of the Namron proposal at this time. If Namron is able to gain control of the site it will return to ask for approval for the five units separately. Density of the overall development would remain the same. Planner Larsen stated the proposed plans are consistent with the plans given preliminary approval and meet Edina ordinance requirements for final approval. He added the landscaping as depicted is above the ordinance requirements in both quantity and style. Planner Larsen concluded stating the Planning Commission recommended Final Rezoning and Final Plat approval of Oaks Lincoln Townhomes conditioned upon 1. Executed Developer’s Agreement; and 2. Landscaping Bond. Page 1 MinutesEdha Citv Council/Mav 18,1998 c L I Member Hovland noted the Council's desire to protect the homes on Malibu Drive with landscaping. He recalled that the Council had requested the developer use coniferous trees of an appropriate size on the site's border with the Malibu Drive properties. However, in looking at the landscaping plan provided with the project submittals, it appeared to Member Hovland that the trees proposed for the Malibu Drive border were deciduous. He expressed concern regarding the type, size and number of trees. Member Hovland also asked if any subdivision dedication fee was due for the proposed development. Mayor Smith shared Member Hovland's concern and requested clarification of the landscaping plan. MinutesEdha Citv Council/lWay 18,1998 Rollcall: Ayes: Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Ordinance 850-A14 granted second reading.

Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes. TRAFFIC SAFETY STAFF REPORT OF MAY 5, 1998, APPROVED Engineer Hoffman presented a 1997 traffic map depicting the average daily traffic for state highways, county roads and City state aid streets (major collectors and arterials). The purpose of attaching the map for review was to provide information that can be used in evaluating traffic safety requests. Staff receives traffic safety requests when volumes exceed 500 vehicles per day on City streets. When a request is received, it is evaluated with use of Council approved Traffic Safety policies. Excluding the state highways and county roads, the map indicates traffic volumes on City designated state aid streets that serve as collector or arterial streets in Edina (40 miles). On occasion, other streets reach traffic volume levels that would place the street in the minor collector street category. Engineer Hoffman said these are usually neighborhood collector streets such as West Shore Drive, Cornelia Drive and West 72nd Street from Cornelia to France. The issue often arises as to the role of the minor collector street as compared to the I City state aid streets (major collector and arterials) to the strictly local residential street. Residents often view these streets as local residential streets that' these streets cannot functionally be. This causes rise to the issue of pedestrian safety on those streets. Currently Page 3 MinutesLEdina Citv CounciVMay 18,1998 the City policy on state aid streets is to add sidewalks on at least one side with a sbeet reconstruction project or as a stand alone project, if requested by residents on the state aid street system. These projects are funded by state aid funds. Currently the City policy on sidewalks for local streets and minor collectors (non-state aid) is to require a petition and special assessment to abutting property owners. Staff is reviewing guidelines for future policies on sidewalk installation. I Staff understands that STOP signs and other devices do not materially change how a street will operate given its position in the City hierarchy of street function. Engineer Hoffman concluded the purpose of providing this data again, is to provide traffic information and to hopefully recognize that some streets operate functionally different than strictly local residential and become candidates for pedestrian sidewalks when volumes reach &comfortable levels. Member Maetzold asked clarification on walking distance to school. Engineer Hoffman said beyond a .7 mile radius to the school, students are bussed. Member Kelly asked if the same concerns had been discussed at other Edina schools. Engineer Hoffman said the only school not heard from is Creek Valley and they have sidewalks. Member Kelly said 70th Street is very dangerous and it is next to a school. Mayor Smith asked if the school district has studied the area or if we could facilitate such a study. Engineer Hoffman noted that traffic counts are being taken by the schools on site and by the City off site with the ultLmate goal for both creating a safe environment. I Member Hovland said the school district should be encouraged to move along rapidly on the study. Engineer Hoffman commented that when the traffic count map is published many people will come forward encouraging a quick response from the schools. Traffic Coordinator Bongaarts said staff received a request, accompanied by a petition for all- way STOP signs at Dunberry Lane and West Shore Drive and Upper Terrace and West Shore Drive. Shortly after receiving the request, another resident in the same area requested that Laguna Drive and West Shore Drive also have all-way STOP signs installed. Since 1991, the accident history of the area is "1" reported to the Police Department that occurred at Dunberry and West Shore Drive. A traffic counter and speed analyzer were installed both in the 6700 block and the 6800 block of West Shore Drive for a one week period. Results were as follows: 6700 block of West Shore Drive had an average daily Monday through Friday traffic count of 758 vehicles with an average daily 85 percentile of speed at 33 MPH. There was an average of 9 vehicles per day exceeding 40 MPH. * 6800 block of West Shore Drive had an average Monday through Friday daily traffic count of 1037 vehicles with an average dairy 85 percentile speed at 34 MPH with an average of 13 vehicles per day exceeding 40 MPH. Page 4 MinutesEdina CiW Council/Mav 18,1998 Coordinator Bongaarts said he observed rush hour (4:30 P.M. - 6:OO P.M.) twice at each of three different intersections: West Shore Drive/Dunberry Lane intersections that have STOP signs already for eastbound and westbound Dunberry Lane have good sight lines. No congestion was observed. Traffic from Dunberry Lane had no problems exiting to West Shore Drive and had little or no wait at STOP signs. There were very few pedestrians or bike riders during this time. There was an average of 60 vehicles using Dunberry Lane during rush hour observations. West Shore Drive/Upper Terrace intersection is a ”T” intersection with Upper Terrace to the west side of West Shore Drive. There was no congestion or waiting at the intersection. The majority of vehicles on Upper Terrace came to a stop before entering West Shore Drive. Sight lines were adequate and some pedestrians and bike travel was present. An average of 35 vehicles used Upper Terrace during the rush hour observation. West Shore Drive/Laguna Drive intersection is a “T” type intersection with Laguna Drive to the east of West Shore Drive. The intersection had the least amount of traffic of the three intersections with no problems of any type occurring during these observations. An average of 20 vehicles used Laguna Drive during rush hour observations. Staff discussed the situation and the reference to Cornelia Drive and the new 3-way (all-way) STOP sign at 68th Street/Cornelia Drive. A traffic count/speed analyzer was placed at 6908 Cornelia Drive the week after the surveys on West Shore Drive, for comparison. The location of the counter/analyzer was approximately one block south of the 68th Street intersection. The survey was one week long. The average Monday through Friday daily traffic was 1023 vehicles. Prior to STOP sign placement, the average vehicle count was 1000. The average 85 percentile speed for south bound traffic coming from the STOP sign at West 68th Street, one block away, was 35 MPH. Prior to the STOP sign installation, it was 32 MPH. Coordinator Bongaarts noted a daily average of 19 vehicles exceeding 40 MPH while southbound on Cornelia Drive from West 68th Street. Traffic northbound on Cornelia Drive that have no STOP from West 70th Street had an 85 percentile speed of 35 MPH also, but fewer cars on an average exceeding 40 MPH (15 at 40 MPH). Staff, as they did with the Cornelia Drive situation, feel sidewalks would best serve the purpose as a solution to pedestrian safety. After much deliberation, staff did not reach a consensus. Without consensus, it was recommended the STOP signs on West Shore Drive at Upper Terrace on the same basis and justification they were recommended for on West 68th Street and Cornelia Drive. The rationale being that the signs would serve as a traffic travel time delay. This may encourage through or non-local residential traffic to stay on the main collectors and stay off the local residential street because they did not want the obstruction or hindrance of a STOP sign. No warrants or criteria exist per the City Residential STOP Sign Policy jusaying STOP signs on West Shore Drive at Dunberry Lane or at Laguna Drive and West Shore Drive. Page 5 'I. 1MinutesLEdina Citv Council/Mav 18,1998 I Without consensus, staff recommended all-way, 3-way STOP signs at West Shore Drive and Upper Terrace. With consensus, staff recommended denial of STOP signs at Laguna Drive and West Shore and along on West Shore Drive at Dunberry Lane. Member Kelly inquired whether there are other studies available on STOP signs validity regarding speed reduction. Coordinator Bongaarts noted after an extensive search on the Internet, he found information about noise and pollution, but nothing related to speed. He said he is relying on his personal experience as a member of the police department. Upon Member Kelly's suggestion, coordinator Bongaarts explained the hilly grade of the area and commented that site lines, upon observation, seem adequate. Member Maetzold said in his heart he has always felt STOP signs slow traffic, but the Cornelia study is interesting. He asked if STOPS placed close to one another slows traffic. Coordinator Bongaarts has been requested to observe traffic in the Country Club area because people blow the STOP signs. STOP signs similar to the every-other-block installation of Minneapolis could be installed, but Edina does not have the staff to enforce them. He concluded that installation of numerous STOP signs, give a false sense of security. Member Hovland commented people may be speeding on Cornelia because from the STOP at Cornelia and 68th to Dunberry there is a good distance between STOP signs and residents can make up for lost time. He believes STOP signs serve a purpose and at least a rolling STOP through a STOP sign helps reduce speeds similar to those in the Country Club area. He suggested installation of &way STOPS at Dunberry. Coordinator Bongaarts said he hesitates to compare West Shore with the Country Club area because Country Club has sidewalks. He attended a traffic meeting in Minneapolis where Edina residents were singled out as traveling through their town. Consultants set the record straight that Edina residents were not the problem and the majority of the traffic is west bound. The whole metro area has a real problem with traffic and Edina is only a part. He added the schools have more self-generated traffic than ever before with parents driving/dropping off children at the schools. Children that should be walking to school are being driven and reminded us not to forget school bus traffic. Member Hovland inquired what, if any public education has been done about safety and suggested we may need to create such a program. Coordinator Bongaarts said programs exist, but he has not pursued them. I Member Kelly asked how much it costs to install a STOP sign. Coordinator Bongaarts responded installation cost is minimal. Member Kelly said he believes pool traffic on Chapel Drive and West 70th in the summer is much more than the study portrays since the study was done in April. Member Maetzold inquired if a danger is created when a STOP sign is removed. Coordinator Bongaarts said to his knowledge none have been removed. Member Maetzold asked whether it is easier to enforce a speed limit of a STOP sign. Coordinator Bongaarts responded that in his opinion it is easier to go into court with radar data. Officers must be prove to the judge that the car did not just roll through a STOP sign, but with radar they have empirical data. Page 6 Minutesfidha CiW Council/Mav 18,1998 Mayor Smith asked where sidewalks should be placed. Coordinator Bongaarts said that is generally what the Assistant Engineer studies and recommends, but he would personally put them on both sides of the street from 66th Street to 70th Street. Mayor Smith noted we need more proactivity from neighborhoods regarding sidewalk installation. He challenged the neighborhood to be willing to invest in sidewalks along West Shore that could be paid for by a area assessment. He further challenged neighbors to come up with a more comprehensive plan. Additionally, he felt the City should continue monitoring the area. Member Hovland noted that development of a City policy on sidewalks, similar to the policy on traffic volumes on City streets, would be helpful. Mayor Smith said the neighborhood needs to tell the Council what they would like through a comprehensive plan. The Council would then consider the plan and make recommendations. Member Maetzold would agree but the focus needs to be on speeding on residential streets. Member Kelly said a partnership needs to be established with the schools, because walking on West Shore is scary. Mayor Srnith summarized the consensus of the Council as a need for more, 1) safety training, 2) a neighborhood comprehensive plan, and 3) additional monitoring of traffic. Manager Rosland explained he completed a sidewalk study in 1972 where the Council said they did not need anything like that. He is glad a study is going to be completed. A policy on sidewalks is being developed and will be before the Council soon. The study would contain approximate costs, participation, neighborhood assessments, etc. Traffic control people are out monitoring daily traffic on the streets and the traffic trailer is being placed in various locations in the City. Resident Comments Jane Sundin, 4700 Dunberry Lane, quoted information she was given by an employee of the Police Department showing that there had been ” 2” accidents at West Shore and Dunberry since 1992. Neighbors previously requested STOP signs, but a ”Pedestrian Crossing” sign was installed along West Shore, north of Dunberry in an attempt to control traffic. She asked for Council support and reiterated this is a neighborhood effort. Of the 67 people she spoke with, 64 support the request. The area has 1) many young families who walk and wait at bus stops 2) is heavily traveled, 3) has much foot and bike traffic, 4) many different family configurations, and 5) has a hilly curvy path. She presented another petition with names of Dunberry Lane neighbors who believe the City is waiting for a sigruficant accident to act on STOP signs. She concluded if the studies and petitions are not enough to convince the Council that the 5 STOP signs are necessary and she asked for help to understand what more they need to do. They have to live with speeding drivers daily. They want a quiet street. What is the harm in putting in two more STOP signs than are recommended for approval. Carol Schneider, 6905 West Shore Drive, a five year resident/ said traffic has been bad from the day they moved in. Residents in the area take pride in their homes and maintain them. This, unfortunately exacerbates traffic with the constant maintenance vehicles coming in and Page 7 Minutes/Edina Citv CouncivMay 18,'1998 out of the area. She reminded the Council that West Shore is hilly and has very different terrain than Cornelia. Whoever is the culprit she 1) requested slower speeds, 2) would consider speed bumps, 3) is a proponent of sidewalks and 4) said they need help. I Diane Martens, Committee Chairperson for the Child Safety Committee at Cornelia School told they have made recommendations to the School District and have met with Mr. Bongaarts. Mr. Bongaarts told the Committee that staff believes for elementary schools, the recommendations should come from the school district, not individual schools. The Committee has made recommendations regarding street issues and reduction in speed limits. She inquired what the process would be to acquire sidewalks. Mayor Smith said there is no report on sidewalks yet but one is being developed. The process for sidewalk installation would be by petition, as usual. He added the School Board should be listening to parents. Ms. Martens pointed out the Committee has developed a model the School District could use to identify hazardous roads and presented it to them. They also recommended a network of sidewalks and on which street they feel the District should encourage sidewalks. Ms. Martens asked if the petitions were presented with signatures of both residents objecting and approving sidewalks, would the denials be outweighed by the strength of the neighborhood request. Mayor Smith said previously this did not happen and ultimately it would be the decision of the Council. James Kakalios, 6825 West Shore Drive, has lived in the area for eight years and noted that most homes have changed from long time residents to residents with younger families. Five years ago he asked the Council for a STOP sign at West Shore Drive and Dunberry. What the neighborhood received was the Slow Pedestrian sign. The neighborhood was told if the pedestrian sign did not work, the neighborhood should ask for a STOP sign to be installed. Mr. Kakalios said he believes in sidewalks. He suggested an experiment: if STOP signs were installed at Upper Terrace and Dunberry and if sidewalks were installed, a perfect opportunity would exist to see if STOP signs led to an increase of speed and be unsafe. The issue could then be re-exarnined. Mr. Kakalios said STOP signs are an inexpensive option. Mayor Smith said the crux of the issue is 3 versus 5 signs and he would proceed with their installation. He asked for continued enforcement and observation of the area and that a re- examination be done after the summer. Member Kelly expressed concern that traffic speed on Cornelia Drive has increased greatly and with STOP signs giving kids a false sense of confidence. Installation of signs is a minimal cost. He suggested that possibly fees for sidewalks could be collected from developers much as park dedication fees. Large developments are large traffic generators and the charge seems like a logical way to recapture dollars. Member Maetzold said he would support three STOP signs and could support five, but he would not introduce them. He believes five would control the area better because of their being close together. He suggested an increase in enforcement and would support the four part program. I Page 8 MinutesEdha Citv Council/Mav 18,1998 Member Hovland concurred with other comments and supports the three STOPS on Upper Terrace and West Shore Drive but he is uncertain about Dunberry. He would further support the four part program. He believes Christ Presbyterian Church should change their internal traffic control on Tuesday mornings perhaps using the frontage road to help alleviate traffic in the neighborhoods. Mayor Smith asked when the STOP signs would go up. Engineer Hoffman said one to two weeks. After a brief discussion, Mayor Smith directed staff to be back August 3,1998, with a study and policy/program on sidewalks in Edina. Diane Martens, asked if the neighbors could be kept informed. Mayor Smith said yes. Member Kelly further suggested that the Woodhill Association or Steve Brown be contacted and encouraged the neighbors to utilize the Association’s expertise as a vehicle to help their concerns. Member Kelly made a motion approving the following actions as recommended in Section A.l. of the May 5,1998, Traffic Safety Staff Review: 1. Installation of 3-way STOP signs at West Shore Drive and Upper Terrace and denial of STOP signs at Laguna Drive and West Shore and also on West Shore Drive at Dunberry-Lane and to including, A) development of an individual safety training program with the schools, B) development of a City wide policy on sidewalks, and C) a report to be presented at the regular Council meeting August 3,1998. Motion was seconded by Member Hovland. Ayes: Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. Member Kelly made a motion to approve Section A. 2 of the Traffic Safety Staff Report of May 5,1998, to 2.
