I RESOLUTION ADOPTING SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENT NO TS-24 (WE ST 76TH STREET AND PRIVATE DRIVE) APPROVED Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Engineer Hoffman explained the proposed assessment was for a petitioned improvement installing a traffic signal at the private driveway for the Centennial Lake retail and office area and West 76u1 Street. He added that the two affected property owners who had petitioned the City for the improvement during the winter of 1998 have been notified of the final assessment cost and not questioned the amounts. Mayor Smith asked if the proposed 7% percent interest charge is adequate to cover the City's costs. Finance Director Wallin replied the rate was ample to cover all City expenses. Member Faust expressed concern that the location of the light was too close to the STOP sign at 76th Street and France Avenue. Engineer Hoffrnan agreed it would be better farther apart, but that adequate stacking room was available or the light would not have been installed. Member Hovland asked if the affected property owners had been notified. Engineer Hoffman replied that the two parties considered to benefit from the improvement had received notice as required by statute. Mayor Smith called for public comment. No one appeared.

Rollcall: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. REOUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN DENIED Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation by Planner Planner Larsen noted the Ciw Council approved Final Rezoning, R-1 to PRD-3, and granted Final Plat approval for Olde VeGon on Apr2-27, 1997. The approved plan illustrated 26 detached townhouses on the 9.1 acre site. He stated development has begun with the construction and installation of improvements including utilities and a private street serving the 26 units. To date two units are complete and permits have been issued for two other units. Page 2 MinutesEdina Citv Council/November 16,1998 The owner, Leo Evans has now requested to mode the approved Overall Development Plan and Plat. The modification would affect the far westerly portion of the developmentfnear the intersection of Vernon Avenue and Olingir Road. The request would add two units to the plan that now illustrates three units. The two additional units would not access the private street serving the rest of Olde Vernon, but would access Olinger Road. Planner Larsen reminded Council the original development request was for a 34-unit townhouse development. Ultimately after hearings, 26 units were approved. Density of the development was a key issue in the original approval. Planner Larsen stated staff could find no change in area conditions that warranted reconsideration of the approved plan. He concluded that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the Amendment to the Final Development Plan for Olde Vernon. Member Maetzold asked if the requested amendment required any variance. Planner Larsen stated the amendment would not require any variances from the Council. Proponent - Presentation Steve Johnston, Landmark Engineering appeared representing the owner, Leo Evans. Mr. Johnston submitted a written document stating the background, proposal and owner’s justification as follows: Background: Preliminary approval 10/7/96; Proposal: Justification: Original proposal of 34 units met ordinance; Reduced by City Council to 26 units; To amend PUD to add two additional units at the corner of Olinger and Vernon Discovery of dumpsite that cost landowner $360,000 to clean up. Landowner did not create dump, but was obligated to complete clean up. Completion of site improvements gives a better perspective on project to neighbors. The developer and builder have exceeded all promises made. Limited impact on adjacent properties. Only impacts Wagner property, which will likely be subject to future redevelopment. The Merold Drive neighborhood will not be impacted in any way. This is buildable property in a community without developable land, which creates tax base and provides additional life cycle housing opportunities for residents. Proposed density is comparable to similarly zoned property within the city. Increased density of project (7%) would be imperceptible. Randall Holbrook, attorney for Leo Evans, asked the Council to look at the impact of what will happen if the amendment is not approved leaving, in his opinion, two lots unproductive. Mr. Holbrook added there is ample open space in the remaining development. I Public Comment - Dennis Wagner, 5705 Olinger Road, stated he personally told Mr. Evans about the dump site on the property during the 1980’s. Council Discussion/ Comment Mayor Smith commented that Mr. Johnston’s presentation presumes the Council knew the cost of the development before arriving at the 26 units approved. He stated the cost was not known by Page 3 Minutes/Edina City CounciVNovember 16,1998 the Council when reviewing the proposed development. Mayor Smith reminded that density was a huge issue and he recalled the Council arrived at the 26 units based upon impact on the neighbors to the development. Mayor Smith added tlie developers designed the subdivision at their discretion, noting it could have been designed differently and perhaps supported a different density. Therefore, he would not support any amendment to the plan. I Member Kelly questioned why the "dump site" was not discovered during the Phase One development. Member Kelly's also stated that Open Space is never unproductive or useless. Mr. Johnston explained the dump is six inch layer over a large portion of site. Member Faust stated she lived across Vernon from the property for many years and in her opinion Mr. Evans should have known about the dump. Member Faust added she thought the unit's price had been substantially increased to compensate for the dump. Mr. Johnston ackndwledged the prices had increased. Member Maetzold said he does not support the amendment. He told the developer that nothing new has been presented that indicates the need to reconsider the density. Member Hovland recalled this was one of the fist developments brought before the Council after his appointment in 1997. He remembered Mr. Phil Dommer working extensively with €he neighborhood to arrive at the approved plan. Member Hovland stated in his opinion, the approved plan should be left alone and not changed. Member Faust made a motion, seconded by Member Hovland, to deny the request for amendment to the Final Development Plan adding two units to the Olde Vernon development located near Vernon Avenue and Olinger Road. Rollcall: Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. FTNAL PLAT APPROVAL - 7459 FRANCE AVENUE SOUTH (PARKLAWN PARTNERS) Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file. Presentation bv Planner Planner Larsen explained that the Council had granted Preliminary Plat approval to the Parklawn Partners October 19, 1998, allowing the subdivision of the property located in the southwest quadrant of France and Parklawn Avenues. He added that the Council approved the Final Development Plan August 17,1998, allowing the construction of a new 29,000 square foot office building. Planner Larsen stated that all conditions for final approval have been satisfied. Member Hovland introduced the following resolution and moved its approval: RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, that that certain REGISTERED LAND SURVEY NO. , a limited liability company, platted by PARKLAWN PARTNERS LLC, a limited liability company and presented at the regular meeting of the Edina City Council November 16,1998, is hereby granted final plat approval. Member Kelly seconded the motion. I Rollcall: Page 4 I I Minutesmdina City CounciVNovember 16,1998 Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. TRAFFIC SAFETY STAFF REVIEW OF NOVEMBER 4,1998, SECTION A.1,2,3; B.2,3,4, AND SECTION C. APPROVED; SECTION B.l AMENDED Engineer Hoffman explained due to the increase in traffic congestion at 50th & France along with other traffic issues, staff has suggested some operational changes to the traffic flow in the 50th & France area. It is believed these changes should be done prior to Minneapolis rebuilding the northeast corner to avoid future conflicts with Minneapolis regarding this matter. Mayor Smith inquired whether buses would have ‘a difficult time maneuvering through the area. Engineer Hoffman believes after observing them during rush hour it will work. Mayor Smith asked if parking would be adequate. Engineer Hoffman believed it would be adequate. Member Maetzold asked if the bus stop could be relocated to the space in front of Arby’s. Engineer Hoffman said after examination, the spot as proposed is thd best location. Member Maetzold asked if there could be more parking in front of Arby’s. Engineer Hoffman said he believes people in the area did not want parking there. He believes on off-peak times spaces could be utilized in that location. Member Maetzold noted the proposed sidewalk is very narrow. Engineer Hoffman said it is the same size as the other one. Member Maetzold inquired whether a no right turn for south bound to west bound on 50th. Engineer Hoffman said staff proposed no right turn but merchants did not agree and it was removed. Member Hovland asked about no left turn north bound on France and left on 50th. Engineer Hoffman said there are no parking ramp entrance points on 50th so nothing can be accessed from France and Halifax. There is a better chance to park on the side streets not on the main through street. Member Hovland suggested a ban on left turns on France southbound from 4 to 6 PM. Engineer Hoffman responded there is no parking there and nothing should be stacked up at that location and should be even freer with the proposed plan. Member Hovland asked if the 50th & France Association has examined the proposal. Engineer Hoffman said they have had the proposal for a month and 1) did not agree with the no right turn lane going west, 2) voiced concern with the bus stop, and 3) approved the peak hour restriction for cars from 4 - 6 PM. Member Hovland voiced concern with the plan. Engineer Hoffman suggested the issue could be held over and a public hearing held. Member Kelly called the traffic in the area a ”disaster”. He voiced approval of the plan and said we do not need a hearing on the proposal. Member Maetzold said this is a good plan but he personally believes some shop owners are not aware of the proposal. Engineer Hoffman said the process has been to meet with the Association members and follow their decision. Member Kelly made a motion approving Section A.l: A. B. Restricting parking on west side of France Avenue from West 49 1/z Street to West 50th Street from 400 P.M. to 6:OO P.M., Monday through Friday, and recommend leaving in place current layout which does not allow parking on either end of the block but will allow mid-block parking during off peak hours. Ban a series of turns to help free-up the 50th & France intersection, to include: No left turn - (east to north) Page 5 Minutes/Edina Citv CounciVNovember 16,1998 Right turn lane only - turn right (north to east) No left turn (north to west) C. Move the current near side bus stop for southbound France to a far side stop for France at 50th allowing for striping of France Avenue so southbound France could have a left turn lane and through lane. D. Metro Transit will be asked to use a shorter bus pull-off space to free up additional parking at far side stop; and A.3. Installation of a ”No Outlet” sign for Kelsey Terrace at Interlachen Boulevard. Member Faust seconded the motion. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. A.2. Requesting staff pass a resolution asking Mn/DOT to remove all truck movement restrictions exiting Highway 169 at South 7th Street. Member Faust introduced the following resolution and moved its approval: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the City of Edina received a request to curtail truck traffic on Washington Avenue between 3Id Street South and Maloney Avenue; and WHEREAS, it has been established that truck traffic and speed on Washington Avenue between 31d Street South and Maloney Avenue has become excessive and creates a dangerous environment for residents on Washington Avenue; and WHEREAS, Washington Avenue is a narrow street (32’-34’ width) with the Highway 169 sound barrier on the west side and 18 residential dwelling on the east side; and WHEREAS, Washington Avenue borders Hopkins on the north as well as Supervalu’s warehouse is just north of the Hopkins boundary; and WHEREAS, the area north of the Edina boundary at Washington Avenue has access to Highway 169 and other arterial roadways without going south on Washington Avenue through the residential area; and WHEREAS, Washington Avenue between 3rd Street South and Maloney is not a state aid street and is not considered a collector street but is used much as an arterial roadway; and WHEREAS, Washington Avenue curves to the east south of Maloney Avenue to become Lincoln Drive and continues south to intersect with Malibu Drive to the east and South 7th Street to the west with exit and entrance ramps to and from Highway 169 and South 7th Street; and WHEREAS, the exit ramps from 169 are posted with regulatory signs restricting trucks from going to the Hopkins side of the highway; and THEREFORE, staff recommends the Edina City Council pass a resolution asking Mn/DOT to remove all truck movement restrictions exiting Highway 169 at South 7* Street; and Section A. 3. Member Hovland seconded the motion. I I Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Resolution adopted. Section B.l. Traffic Safety Coordinator Bongaarts noted a request for a STOP sign for Oak Drive at St Johns had been received due to the speed of drivers on Oak Drive and a somewhat blind intersection with St Johns. The requestors note hee accidents have occurred at this intersection Page 6 Minutes/Edina Citv Counciwovember 16,1998 within a short period of time. Accident history in the area disclosed two accidents since 1991. These consisted of one with minor property damage ,andf one a personal injury accident. Oak Drive is two blocks long and intersects with St. Johns in the center. There are no sidewalks in this area. A YIELD sign is in place north bound on St. Johns at Oak Drive. The southwest corner does pose some sight problems for vehicles eastbound on Oak Drive and for vehicles northbound on St. Johns. Coordinator Bongaarts told that a traffic count and speed survey were completed for both St. Johns and Oak Drive. St. Johns Avenue had a Monday through Friday daily average traffic count of 104 vehicles and an 85 percentile speed of 27 mph. Oak Drive had a Monday through Friday daily average traffic count of 344 vehicles with an average 85 percentile speed of 27 mph. Staff recommended denial of the request for lack of warrants. Scott McGarvey, 4603 Oak Drive, said he grew up in the neighborhood and the intersection was bad even then. If paying for the STOP sign is a problem, he volunteered to pay for it he feels that strongly about it. If one child can be protected, it would be worth it. He stated that 30 mph is too fast and sometimes rules do not make any sense. Mr. McGarvey presented a petition signed by every resident on Oak Drive. Doug Hokemeir-Seim, 4514 Oak Drive, has lived in the area for a year. Although he is rarely home, he has witnessed two accidents and 2 near misses. While he respects the report, what is missing is a full explanation of the features of the site. Mr. Hokemeir-Seim gave a ’tour’ of the area including site-line descriptions and added that volume and speed are not the only issues. Roger Sweet, 4607 Oak Drive, an 18 year resident of the area, commented he has never seen such a high concentration of children under 8 years old than in the last three years. He called the upper and lower Oak Drive a ’rabbit’ hill and is an accident waiting to happen. Marla Ivan, 4601 Oak Drive, said she concurs with Mr. Sweet’s comments and noted she has seen many near accidents on that intersection and believes there have been many more accidents in the area than were reported. Member Faust said she grew up in the neighborhood and learned to drive there. While learning to drive in the area she was told to slow to almost a stop before crossing St. Johns and the intersection is very dangerous. Even though the Traffic Safety Committee believes the intersection does not meet the warrants for a STOP sign, she believes a STOP sign should be installed. Member Maetzold explained he would be in favor of installing a STOP sign. The question is, where should the STOP sign should be placed. Coordinator Bongaarts said historically the street with the least traffic usually gets the STOP signs so in this case it would be St. Johns. Mr. McGarvey said neighbors would like the STOP to be placed on Oak Drive. If you stop on St. Johns at Oak Drive you are still below grade to be able to see both north and south. Member Hovland noted the Council has been wrestling with this issue for awhile and have heard many theories about the installation of STOP signs. He believes neighbors understand their neighborhood best concerning traffic. He would favor installation of a STOP sign. The exact location should be the decision of the neighbors and he personally feels Oak is the right location. P Page 7 MinutesEdha Citv Councimovember 16,1998 Mayor Smith asked what the result was on Tower and 56th Street with the neighbors request for a STOP sign. Coordinator Bongaarts said the most recent request was at Lakeview and St. Johns and staff felt that intersection was wide open with good visibility and denied STOPS at that location. Previously when the Council visited tlus area, the only STOP installed was at Golf Terrace. Mayor Smith said if the opinion of the Council at this meeting is to go ahead with this installation, he suggested the information on St. Jolm should be brought back at a later time for discussion. I Member Maetzold made a motion €0 acknowledge Section B.l of the Traffic Safety Report recommending denial of the request for a STOP sign for Oak Drive at St. Johns and recommend removal of the YIELD sign from St. Johns Avenue at Oak Drive and recommend installation of a STOP sign for Oak Drive at St. Johns; and Section B.2,3,4, and Section C. Member Faust seconded the motion. Ayes: Faust, Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Motion carried. LIQUOR REFERENDUM RESULTS DISCUSSED Mayor Smith said he requested this item be placed on the agenda to discuss the Liquor Referendum process in order to move forward. Some basic parameters would need to be followed in order to involve both the holders of liquor licenses and the public to inform them that a hearing will be held and testimony wiU be taken for a starting point rather than staff seeking ordinances from other places. He stated he would rather hear from residents or licensees in Edina or from folks who would like to be licensed. A hearing would be advertised in the Edina Sun-Current and all currenfly licensed folks would be notified directly. He suggested if the issue needs to be continued because of tlie over-abundance of testimony, after the hearing is ended (one night, or two), the discussion would then be reflected upon by the Council. I Member Faust inquired how many licenses are currently issued. Chief Bernhjelm said he believes there are 18 wine and strong beer licenses issued and also some 3.2 beer licenses. Mayor Smith said he requested staff to present parameters for the hearing so that people at that meetrzzg would hear those parameters. He would rather the Council not be bound to do anything by any certain time because when the job is done it will be done. He does not want any misunderstanding that the Council is 'dallying' for some unstated reason. This is new ground in Edina and all thoughts must be coalesced. Mayor Smith again stated that 1) a presentation would be presented by staff setting some parameters, 2) the Council hears testimony from folks involved, and 3) the Council decides when the Council discussion will be held. He believes holding the Council discussion the same night would not allow time for reflection following the public hearing. Mayor Smith said it is very important to do all that business in public so everybody can be involved. Member Hovland inquired whether the Council should contact staff with their issues of concern. Mayor Smith said staff should be left to do their work and the Council will be told when the process is in place. Member Hovland inquired whether liquor can be served at the enterprises such as Braemar and I whether it has ever been considered. Mayor Smith said let the staff do their homework and they will get back to the Council when the process is in place. Attorney Gilligan responded we can do Page 8 MinutesEdina Citv Council/November 16,1998 this already as a part of our municipal operation and did not need the referendum to allow us to do this. Mayor Smith said he would focus Manager Hughes’ attention on the process but he did not perceive it being on the agenda the first meeting in December. MEETING DATES SET FOR 1999 COUNCIL MEETINGS Manager Hughes noted at the September 22, 1998, Council meeting, a Council Member inquired whether Council meetings could be changed to Tuesday nights rather than Monday nights. From a staff perspective a number of advantages were identified with few disadvantages. The principal consideration for rescheduling Council meeting dates should be based on the convenience of our residents and Council Members. Manager Hughes said it appears rescheduling meeting to Tuesdays would have some merit. I Following a brief Council discussion, Member Maetzold made a motion to implement the change of Regular Council Meeting dates to the first and third Tuesdays starting May 1,1999. Member Hovland seconded the motion. Rollcall Ayes: Hovland, Kelly, Maetzold, Smith Nays: Faust Motion carried. *COUNCIL YEAR END MEETING DATE SET - DECEMBER 29,1998, 5:OO P.M. Member Maetzold made a motion setting December 29, 1998, at 5:OO P.M. for the Council Year End Meeting in the Manager’s Conference Room. Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes. “1997 REFUSE REMOVAL CONTRACT EXTENDED THROUGH 1999 Motion made by Member Maetzold and seconded by Member Faust extending the 1997 recycling contract for the municipal facilities through 1999 with Aspen Waste Systems. Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes. CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED FROM MINNESOTA FILM BOARD Assistant to the Manager Smith noted within the last two months, staff has spoken with various employees of the Minnesota Film Board about their concerns relating to the City’s ordinance controlling commercial photography. Staff suggested they address their concerns in a letter. A letter dated November 6, 1998, was received from the Board voicing concerns with the permit procedure being too restrictive to readily use Edina as a site for filmmaking. Assistant to the Manager Smith said staff would revisit the issue should the Council believe it to be necessary. Following brief Council comments, staff was asked to revisit the issue controlling commercial photography in the City and to and report back to the Council at a future time. COUNCIL COMMENT Member Faust referenced a memorandum from Manager Hughes, dated November 4,1998, explaining a meeting held October 30,1998. Member Faust commented that; 1) the City is putting a lot of money into holding the property open for a WMEP school with carrying costs of approximately a quarter million dollars; 2) hiring a consultant should not be up to the City or the Edina School District nor should one be hired at the City’s taxpayers expense Page 9 Minutesfidina Citv Council/November 16,1998 but is the responsibility of WMEP; 3) WMEP has not put forth any good faith effort on the property; and 4) the WMEP proposal, in her eshation does not seem feasible. Mayor Smith inquired whether the City should let someone else plan the public portion of the project Member Faust asked if a time limit could be set and added that she believes all meetings with the School District should be public meetings. She added she believes the School Board is not being honest with the citizens and all meetings between the Mayor, Manager and Frank Bennett of WMEP should be open meetings. She said she expects a response to her concerns. Member Faust further asked if staff could acquire a cost estimate of the proposal from WMEP. Mayor Smith reminded the Council that the City does not build schools. I VACANCIES NOTED ON VARIOUS BOARDS Member Maetzold made a motion acknowledging receipt of correspondence dated October 28, 1998, from Hennepin County noting vacancies on various member at large agencies and requesting notification of interest of persons willing to serve in this capacity.
