SPECIAL MEETING - WOODDALE SCHOOL /UTLEY PARK
Bob Kojetin reviewed the plans from BRW briefly for all present. He also reviewed
the attached staff report which was compiled October 24, 1983. The staff reported
that at the present time there is a need for space for the Edina Gymnastics Associ-
ation due to limited space at the hut. Other current programs presently have adequate
facilities through the schools. A gymnasium with a stage would be a highly used
facility if it were available, and if more space was available, the current athletic
programs could be expanded more in years to come.
Some questions asked by Park Board Members were, "If plan C was adopted, how would
the Historical Society be able to afford the building ? ", "What would the cost be
to complete the park if the building is removed ? ", "Any idea what it would cost
to erect a gym with an auditorium ? ", "Would the council take extra expense from_.the
current Park budget ? ".
Ken Rosland remarked that the Park Board and staff would have to show a very strong
need to keep the building to justify the expense of using it.
Harold Sand of the Planning Department commented on the historical significance of
Wooddale School. He expressed concern that the building might be saved and restora-
tion might be done less expensively than quoted.
Joe Price, a neighbor of Wooddale, stated that the proposed alternatives A, B and
C are not acceptable to many of the neighbors of Wooddale. The cost factor of all
three of the plans is unacceptable to them. The parking provisions if the building
is kept would mean a lot more pavement and the neighborhood representatives feel
that as much open space and passive area should be left as possible with a minimum
of pavement. Mr. Price urged the Park Board to recommend to the City Council the
same recommendation they made in 1981 and 1983 to demolish the building.
0
Al Kluesner affirmed what Mr. Price said, that they want to keep Wooddale Park as
a neighborhood park. Mr. Magnuson and Jane Bennett also concurred with the comments
of Joe Price and affirmed what he said. Mary Kluesner stated that she has not heard
any common sense ideas for the use of the building and agrees that the building
should be removed and the park left as a neighborhood park.
The alternatives suggested by BRW for Wooddale School in brief summary are: Alt. A-
Renovation of the present building; Alt. B - Demolition of part of the building,
leaving the gym. Renovation of the remaining structure; Alt. C - Demolition of part
of the building, removing the gym and renovation of remaining structure; Alt. D -
Demolition of all of the building except the two story front entrance which would
be left as a monument ; Alt. E - Total demolition of the buiding.
A ballot vote was called for to determine what the first and second choice of alter -
natives was of the Park Board members. The results were as follows: for first choice
7 voted for Alt. E, 1 for Alt. D, 1 for Alt. C, one for Alt. B. For second choice,
8 voted for Alt. D, 1 for Alt. E and 1 for Alt. B.
Mr. Magnuson asked if there would be more hearings to decide what would happen with
the park development. Bob Kojetin replied that the Wooddale Park would be handled
as we do any other development in the City whereas we would have a rendering from an
architect based on input from the,Park and Recreation staff. We would then have a
special meeting with the neighborhood to get their input to the recommended design.
After we receive the input from the neighbors, we would then have a final design made
and have another neighborhood meeting for final approval of an ultimate plan for the
park. Also, at this meeting, recommendations would be made as to how much of the
park could be completed with the present funding and what phases of the park would
be constructed over the next couple of years. Most of the parks in the city have
been done on a schedule of phases over several years as funds have been allocated for
that park in the Capital Improvements Budget.
The BRW design has the basic faciliites that we would recommend for a neighborhood
park, which include a large open space play area, a hard surface area for court games,
a playground equipment area and a parking lot to accommodate somewhere around 42 cars
for activities that the local neighbors might drive to. All of these park facilities
are in the present design, but the location of these items has not been discussed by
the staff yet. Also being considered is a passive area within the Wooddale Park site
which was not included in all of the designs because the final decision has not yet
been made about the building.
Other considerations which were mentioned included the need to look very carefully
at the location of the parking spaces and entrance to parking lot once the determina-
tion has been made about the building.
Utley Park possibilities were also discussed as Bob Kojetin showed the diagrams by
BRW. Attention was drawn to the proposed lagoon and canoe dock which appears in
each of the 5 plans and also the tunnel under 50th Street was pointed out. Bob
Kojetin indicated that some of the sketches include the two historical buildings,
because one of the possibilities is to move them to Utley Park. Joan Lonsbury com-
mented that Don Wineberg had been present for the meeting at Wooddale School on
January 15 and had seen the proposed plans and he feels very strongly that an under-
ground room would not be desirable for storage, particularly at that location because
of the creek being in such close proximity.
Mrs. Kluesner expressed the concern that two additional buildings in Utley Park
would be overcrowding the park.
3
Bob Christianson commented that if the two historical buildings are going to be
moved, it would be his suggestion to move them to the Parbury property.
Mr. Price expressed concern about the tunnel creating a problem of youngsters
congregating and causing trouble. Bob Kojetin felt it would not be enough of
a problem to prevent putting the tunnel in because of the merit of having a
pedestrian underpass.
Bob Christianson MOVED THAT THE CITY NOT MOVE THE GRANGE HALL AND OLD CAHILL
SCHOOL TO UTLEY PARK. Marilyn Wooldridge SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED.
Jim Fee MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE LAGOON FOR A PUBLIC
SKATING AREA. MOTION WAS SECONDED. THREE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, THREE
VOTED AGAINST THE MOTION AND TWO ABSTAINED.
Virginia Shaw stated that she felt it is inappropriate to make recommendations about
what should be in the park at this time.
Bob Christianson MOVED THAT WE RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE WOODDALE
SCHOOL BE RAZED IN ITS ENTIRETY (ALT. E), AND THAT THE SITE BE UTILIZED FOR
OPTIMUM PARK PURPOSES. JEAN RYDELL SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

FROM: Bob Kojetin, Director, Park and Recreation Department
DATE- October 24, 1983
SUBJECT: Edina Park and Recreation Staff's Position on Wooddale School Park
At the October 20, 1983 Park and Recreation Staff meeting attended by Bob Kojetin,
Rick Jacobson, John Keprios, John Valliere, Carole Kulak, Mary Huiras, Pat Greer,
Marion Ward, Larry Thayer,. -Mitch Asplund, Susan Weigle, and Madelyn Krinke, three
areas of concern were discussed:
1) If we had the building, how would we program it.
2) If we did not have the school building how would we use the land.
3) Pros and Cons of the facilities
1) Programming If We Had The Building:
Expanded room for the Art Center -
- Studio Art Rooms could be rented out
-Use classrooms for larger Art classes
-Use larger rooms for workships - Art
-Use larger rooms for Watercolor Club & others having guest speakers
-Art Camp
- Performing Arts activities
-Use large rooms for dance instruction
-Use stage for performing Arts - theater
-Use large rooms to show old movies (like they do at Walker Art Center)
-home for the Sousa'Band and their equipment
Seven Day A Week Usage of Gymnasium
- Use of gym for basketball, volleyball, indoor sports, ie indoor tennis
- Floor hockey
- If possible to knock out walls and make larger area - use for indoor soccer
- Use for registrations
-. Gymnastics location
Room Usage
- Park & Recreation Video Center
- Use for headquarters for tours
- Rooms for other community groups
- Expansion of Historical Society
- Sr. Boutique location
- Sr. Citizen North area
- Use for Halloween haunted house
- Santa House location
Give each athletic association a meeting & storage room for their equipment
-2-
1) Surrounding property if school was still in tact would be primarily left
the same, except relocation of parking lot and hard surfaced area west of
the school would be recommended.
2) How We Would Use the Land if School Buildin4 Demolished
- Playground activities
- Playground equipment
Picnic area
-T -ball
- Football
-Small soccer field
Sr. Citizen passive area
- Install overhead walkway across Wooddale Street to connect Utley Park with
Wooddale
-Ice skating rink
- Possible small children's spray pool
- Expanded Open Space
3) Pros and Cons of the facilities
Cons:
-We would run into direct conflicts with the Community Education Programs.
-We would take away from the use of the Community Center Facility
-Most of the activities which would be recommended would not be accommodated
- by the present layout of the building. Costly renovations would be required
before many of the rooms would be feasible for the activities being recommended.
If additional programming was done in the building, a program coordinator would
have to be present between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. to take care of scheduling,
answering phones, etc. Other staff would also be necessary, i.e. custodians.
- Increased parking problems due to added activities.
- Additional traffic would be generated by increased activities at the building
- General upgrading of the building would be very costly in the long run -
projecting into, the next 30 -50 years, because of the'very large size of the
building.
- Maintenance on such a.large and old building is expected to be extremely costly.
Pros:
- Because of the gymnasium and auditorium facility of the school, this would be
a very useful facility to have in the vicinity because of the number of
multi - purposes which could be programmed by the Park & Recreation Department.
-If expansion of rooms by knocking down walls and
• the building so as to create larger spaces, the could be don in
p
Positive programming of many of theseactivities, would also add more
In consideration of all of the above, the general concensus of the Park and Recreation
statf is that in general, the structure would not be usable as it presently is arranged
for most of the programming which would be recommended;
e cost of grading the present structure would be extremely high; the building ando land n:9ould be
a liability, because very little revenue would be derived from the types of programs
which are being reccrme'nded. The staff was concerned about funding to cover the ne
bud cessary
get expenses if such the building and land were acquired. The present budget of Park
-3-
and Recreation could not withstand the burden of the additional tunas which would
be required. It would demand the same maintenance staffing which the school presently
has and also it would require some additional Park & Rec staff to ao in -house programmin,
and be located in the building.
It is the consensus of the Park & Recreation staff that the building be removed and the
present site upgraded for a larger park site in the country Club area.

Dear Councilwoman Turner,
Re: Wooddale Site
Again, we in the Country Club neighborhood ifind our sel'Ves. concerned about the
future of the Wooddale Site and especially the school; building.
In its simplest terms - -the school board chose to discontinue the use of the
building as a walkable neighborhood school. In doing so, they halted the only
practical, common sense use for the building: The land area is small, the
traffic corner is congested, and the present park is small for such a high
density neighborhood. The school board will not use the existing building
as a school again, should the school population increase dramatically, since
other buildings in the system which are newer and modern have been saved for
that reason. The city hall can find any space needed in the old Edina East
building, so could park and recreation or any number of other city departments.
It appears then that since the only practical use is for a school (walkable
neighborhood type) and that this use will not be Implemented that the
remaining common sense approach is to raze the building and create green
space. We have been working this empty building problem for 3 -4 years. We
understand the significance of Historic Restoration and Preservation - -but
Wbatuse will the building have if it is restored? It is obviously not in
its original condition. Shall, we pay to restore it and then wonder again
what to-do with it?
I now need to address another issue concerning the group that seeks to save
the building- -the Edina Historical Society. It is my opinion that the Society
and its members receive preferential treatment over the ordinary citizens of
Edina. I will show two areas where I have recently observed this:
1. Foster Dunwoodie wac i ^vited by the staff at City Hall to meet with the
INDEPENDENT study firm of BRW during the study days on the Wooddale
property. The neighborhood group found out in mid - November. I feel
the study was completed when I talked with you, and even though you
offered to arrange a meeting with-BRW--the question was academic after
I returned from a 10 day trip Nov . 23 and an article appeared Nov. 26
in the Sun that quoted the completed study. Why weren't we INVITED
to meet with BRW?
2. This past weekend the Historical Society had a large sale in the
Wooddale building. I attended the sale. I have several questions
regarding the sale:
1. Did the Historical Society ask for permission to have the sale?
2. Did the Society pay the taxpayers of Edina rent for the use of the
space?
3. Are the proceeds of the sale being shared with the city?
4. Would you grant me permission to have a sporting goods sale
in the building?
5. Will the proceeds from the sale be used politically.to further
the ambitions of the Society and their views?
One of the problems I see is that it seems to be assumed by members of the
Council and the staff of city hall that the Historical Society and Preservation
Board speak for ALL the citizens of Edina. Nothing could be further from
the truth. As in the case of the Edina Mills Site - -we in the neighborhood are
very unhappy with the interpretation at the site and that it serves as the
entrance to our neighborhood. I understand that at the time of the plans the
neighbors spent a great deal of time working with those parties involved and
were completely surprised by the outcome. There is a feeling here that we
werenot dealt with openly and honestly.
I have often wondered if there is not a conflict of interest with the architect
that serves as advisor and consultant to these historic restorations and preser-
vations and then has his own firm hired to do the work. Has anyone on the
council ever wondered about that?
In the last rounds of public meetings I noticed that Foster Dunwoodie spoke at
least 20 minutes, presented slides, etc. to promote his point of view.
Could I ask that in the interest of fairness all sides of the issue are heard
for the same amount of time? Understand that the neighborhood group does
not have a paid staff at their disposal for a smooth, professional presentation
nor are we trained in the art of presentations.
The citizens of Edina did not elect, ask, or encourage the Edina Historical
Society to speak for them. Please do not assume that they do.
It is my opinion that the school building be torn down, the land converted to
green area - -with a memorial to the school site and an attempt be made to connect
the green areas at the intersection via bridge or tunnel.
S i ncere ly,
Mary Kluesner

Ken Rosland, City Manager
Bob Kojetin, Parks and Recreation
January 21, 1985
To the Director of Parks and Recreation and Park Board Members:
After attending both sessions of the public information meetings on the Wooddale
Site, Utley and theconcern of 50th Street, I wish to convey some observations to you.
I was quite caught up in the fascination of tunnels, lagoons, monuments, reflecting
pools, history centers, skating rinks, fire rings, canoe landings, plazas and organized
development for both parks. After some time of thinking about these alternatives and
some conversations in the Country Club neighborhood, I came to realize that what this
total package proposes in almost all of the combinations of alternatives is the loss
of our neighborhood parks.
I am concerned that the pastoral setting of Utley and the present informal use of
the Wooddale Park and minimum use for summer recreation programs for grade school
age children will be lost in the ambitious and over organized plans in the BRW
alternatives.
What BRW did not offer was the following - -leave Utley Park as it is, create a maximum
of passive green space and minimum of hard surface (which means razing the building)
and treat 50th Street inits present width as a street that needs re- building and /or
re- surfacing.
To be specific, the most frightening remark made at the public meetings was the
request that the parking lot in the 'new'Utley Park be large enough to accomodate
a bus turn around. I envision a tremendous amount of activity with a history center
there. School buses regularly, regular meetings in the historic buildings, antique
sales, boutique sales and the like. Why should these activities be held in our
neighborhood park? If the corner of 50th and Wooddale is already traffic congested- -
why are we adding to the problem? We know that the two buildings generate traffic
problems, that is obvious on Eden Ave. Is Utley Park a logical place to transpose
that activity? I propose that it is not. Cornelia Park with its large parking lot
in place and large acreage already serving city wide interests may be a solution to
the problem.
I'm also wondering what people are going to be served by the proposed skating rink,
canoe landing, fire ring etc. Our neighborhood skates informally at Arden Park,
and isn't it true that the neighborhood rinks are being understaffed and under
budgeted by Parks and Recreation in order to concentrate on the Braemar area?
Are we building these proposed facilities for the use of those outside our
o-wn community? And if so, ;,,hy? What children are served in the 'old fashioned'
school days held in the Old Cahill School? Fine that our local children are - -but
if a great number of these groups are from outside our area, why is our neighborhood park
being considered for this activity?
I feel that our neighborhood with its high density should be allowed the privilege
of a small green area that is informal in style, has reduced hard surface and offers
a reprise from the activity of 50th Street and concentration of homes on very small
lots. Many of us still resent the loss of the open green area at the Mill Site.
I urge you to really consider first of all the needs of the neighborhood. The
question to be asked is this, "Should the smallest neighborhood parks in the city
be converted to city wide use and possibly Greater Metropolitan use ?"
Sincerely,
Mary Kluesner

Recommendations of the
Edina Heritage Preservation Board
to the
Edina City Council
February 4, 1985
Your Heritage Preservation Board has continuously followed the Wooddale School
issue over the past several years. We recognize the building as historically
important, constructed at the beginning of substantial growth in the Village.
However our principal concern has been the school's physical and symbolic
importance to the Country Club neighborhood, as the gateway to a National Register
District.
As citizens of Edina, we also strongly believe in an open and thoughtful
decision - making process, and thus we strongly commend the City Council for
undertaking this comprehensive study of transportation alternatives, recreational
opportunties, and preservation issues. In that spirit, we have framed the Board's
public discussion in terms of larger issues, rather than merely architectural
importance. We know the Council will understand this Recommendation's emphasis on
function and value does not imply a lesser importance to intangible, but
nevertheless real, historical and esthetic values.
Wooddale and the Country Club Neighborhood
As the Council knows, the Country Club neighborhood has been placed on the National
Register of Historic Sites and Places. This is a rare distinction, comparable to
Summit Avenue in St. Paul, or the Mission Viejo district of Santa Barbara.
Wooddale School plays a pivotal physical and symbolic role at the gateway to
Country Club: as part of the remarkable -- perfect -- symbolism of a School, Church
and Park at the corner of West 50th Street and Wooddale Avenue.
Wooddale School as Substandard Property
The School Board apparently has determined that Wooddale School is substandard for
its purposes. We have no intention, as a Board, of contesting that position.
However, casual observation will reveal hundreds of similar schools nationwide
-- certainly dozens in Minnesota -- which are considered perfectly acceptable for
educational purposes. A conspicuous local example is Barton School, at 44th and
Colfax Avenue South. Barton, built 20 years before Wooddale, serves children in the
Lynnhurst neighborhood on Lake Harriet, which has property values and income
demographics equal to or greater than Country Club's.
The Real Value of Wooddale School
We state this merely to refute the occasional statement that Wooddale School is
somehow an "obsolete" structure. This is a handsome building, structurally very
sound, with substantial value as real estate. According to the Wall Street Journal,
rehabilitation and restoration of existing buildings is the strongest single real
estate market in the United States today. This is not only because of the
investment tax credit incentives of the 1981 tax act, but also because
rehabilitation of existing space to modern standards is almost always much less
expensive than developing new property for a similar purpose.
Members of the Board have extensive, national experience in the design and
development of both existing and new properties. Based upon the current shell
value of $20 /s.f for existing buildings, Wooddale School has a current value,
exclusive of land, of $1,360,000 for 68,000 s.f. of space. Assuming the
consultant's estimate of $25 /s.f. for "complete restoration and renovation," the
building can be brought to modern standards for about one -third the cost of
constructing similar new space, or a savings in this illustration of more than $2.5
million.
The Operating Performance of Wooddale School
To investigate this fully, the Board prepared an operating pro forma of Wooddale as
rental property, appended to this Recommendation. We are aware of the Council's
current policy position that only "public use" would be considered for the
building. However, there is really no visible difference in impact between
occupants (and their vehicles) working in "public" or "private" roles, and of
course, this is an illustration rather than a proposal.
As Council Members can see, the Board used very conservative assumptions in this
exercise: an up- front, capitalized lease payment equal to the net shell value of
the building; a long construction period, with contruction interest above that now
commercially available; a four year rent -up period, twice to three time longer than
could be expected; and net rents of $9 /s.f. /year (plus $3 operating and $2.50
property taxes), which is the low end of current market rents.
The results of this sketch exercise - -see the second to last line, "Net Cash
Flow " - -is an initial breakeven, with a rapid climb into profitability. We wish to
emphasize that we are neither proposing the City sell the building to a developer,
nor initiate a new municipal enterprise; however these figures support our position
that Wooddale School has substantial real value, and should be considered a'
municipal asset.
Caveats
The Board would like to address two caveats that occasionally surface in
discussions of the building's future: market, and the School Board's reversionary
clause.
During the excellent neighborhood presentation by the consultant, there was an
incidental inference that there may not be a market, or even public use for the
building, should it be rehabilitated. For public uses alone, the Board believes
there are ample candidates for tenancy: park activities, community theater, senior
citizen center, and so on. Should there ever be interest in renting for general
office tenancy, the 40,000 -odd square feet of rentable space represents about 1 /10
of 1% of the current Hennepin County office inventory, in a market that has seen a
combined annual absorbtion of 3 -5% yearly for over 20 years. Also, the Board is
aware of suggestions that the building simply be mothballed, as inexpensive
insurance against future space needs.
The issue of the reversionary clause appears to be a non - issue. The Board
understands the School Board position as to never again use the building for
educational purposes. Further, the site is apparently below minimum state standards
for a new structure. Thus recall for school purposes seems unlikely. Finally, a
90 -day notice would effectively prohibit any investment to the property in
perpetuity. Since all parties are approaching this decision in good faith, we know
this would never be an actual prospect on the part of the School Board.
Recommendation to the City Council
As the consultants illustrate in their very thorough and professional study, the
Council is faced with a complex array of choices with respect to street, school and
parklands. The Heritage Preservation Board has taken no position on choices which
do not directly affect the National Register District.
For example, on choices of street alignment and renovation of Utley Park, the Board
believes that the Park Board and City staff will have important recommendations, to
which we defer.
As to roadway section, the Board concurs with neighborhood sentiment that whatever
is done to 50th Street, east of Wooddale, boulevarded sidewalks should be retained
on both sides of the street, and that under no circumstances should the graceful
boulevard trees be removed or threatened. The Board would consider underground
routing of utility lines in this section to be very desirable.
As to Wooddale School, the Board's position as to the historic and physical
importance of the building is well known to the Council. Moreover we would be
unable to recommend the demolition of a million - dollar public asset, as a matter of
sound fiscal policy. Thus the Board's recomendation to the Council is Alternative
"A ", retention of the structure.
However, the Board also believes that the neighborhood is underserved with respect
to active recreational area, and that the opportunity to provide playing fields
north of 50th Street is very desirable, should the Park Board wish to do so.
Therefore, the Board further recommends that staff provide an analysis to the
Council of current parking use at the Community Center. We believe this may
establish that the actual parking requirements by code are significantly greater
than what can be experienced when the building is put to productive public use.
Should the Council conclude that required parking will preclude the construction of
a playing field, then the Board would support, if not recommend, Alternative "B ",
retention of the 1926 building, with site development as generally illustrated by
the consultant.
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
EDINA HERITAGE PRESERVATION BOARD
TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 AT 8:00 P.M.
EDINA CITY HALL RECEPTION CONFERENCE ROOM
MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Foster Dunwiddie, Tom Martinson, Gary Nyberg,
John.Childs, Gordon Stuart and Lois Wilder. ;
STAFF PRESENT: Harold Sand
I APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Mr. Nyberg moved approval of the November
27,`1984 minutes as submitted. Mr..Childs seconded the motion.
All voted aye. Motion carried.
II. WOODDALE SCHOOL. Mr. Dunwiddie noted that the Board received
copies of the consultant's report prepared by BRW, Inc. and
presented at public meetings held January 8 and 15 at Wooddale
School. The consultant has prepared five alternatives for
reconstruction of West 50th Street from T.H. 100 to Wooddale Ave.
and five alternatives for reconstruction of West 50th Street from
Wooddale Ave. to Halifax Ave. In addition, the consultant has
prepared five alternatives for the preservation or demolition of
Wooddale School and five alternatives for development of the
Wooddale School site for park use in connection with Utley Park.
The consultant was not charged with preparing a market study or
investigating various alternate uses for the vacant school
building. The report addresses the construction and maintenance
expenses for plans that retain various percentages of the building.
The report does not contain a specific recommendation from the
consultant; it is not known if there will be a specific
recommendation presented at the February 4, 1985 City Council
hearing on the issue.
The consultant's report does not state the conditions of transfer
of the property to the City from the School District. Those
conditions included the agreement that the property_must be
retained for.public purposes:. The'School District has the option
to reclaim title to the property with not less than 3 months and:
not more than 12 months notice to the City,. The School District
provided $25,000.00 to the City to study the use of the property
and..will pay an additional $100,000.00 to the City.on July 1,4985,
the use of which is not stipulated. It is acknowledged that the
site is not large enough to meet the current State standards for a
new school and the School District does not have any intentions'of
reoccupying the existing building as a school.
Mr. Dunwiddie presented recent calculations with the floor area and
the net rentable area of the building based on the alternatives in
the consultant's report. The net rentable area includes the
auditorium, balcony and basement of the building. The gross floor
area of the existing building is 68,067 sq.ft. and the net rentable
area is 37,686 sq.ft. Alternate B preserves the 1926 portion of
the building and has a gross area of 43,625 sq.ft. and a net
rentable area is 25,579 sq.ft. Alternate C preserves the front
portion of the building and has a gross area of 20,700 sq.ft. and a
net rentable area of 10,112 sq.ft.
Mr. Martinson said that he analyzed the value of the structure
without considering the historic implications of the building. On
the basis of minimal IRS depreciation values of $20 per square foot
the building has an intrinsic value of between $800,000 and
$1,400,000 that is an asset to the community. Mr. Martinson also
prepared an analysis of the building assuming a restoration for a
private use on a short term basis. The report is based oo
conservative figures and the building shows a profit in 5 years of
operation.
The Board discussed potential public uses for the building and
suggestions included the performing arts program, the Sousa Band,
an additional senior citizen center, the Edina Historical Society,
community education and day care facilities. There may be private
uses in addition to these public uses. The metropolitan area is
growing at a rate of 3.5 to 4 percent per year indicating a
continual need for new floor area.
The Board discussed the alternatives for reconstructing West 50th
Street and concluded that the various alignments, road widths and
traffic patterns were not within the purview of the Board. However
the boulevard trees that border West 50th Street between Wooddale
Ave. and Halifax Ave. are an intergal part of the Country Club
District because they were planted with the original development.
The canopy of trees should be preserved to maintain the character
of the neighborhood and the National Register District. Mr.
Martinson moved to reaffirm the Board's previous position that the
trees east of Wooddale Ave. should be preserved and and that the
street should not be widened. Underground utilities would be
desirable in any street project. Lois Wilder seconded the motion.
All voted aye. Motion carried.
Mr. Sand reported that the Edina Park Board held a special meeting
today at 6:30 p.m. to consider the BRW Inc. report. The Park
Department staff said they have plenty of uses for Wooddale School
if the City should decide to retain the building. However all of
the existing programs can be accommodated within existing
facilities except the gymnastics program. The Park Board voted 7
to 2 in favor of alternative E, to demolish the building as the
first choice on the property.
The Board discussed parking requirements for the area and noted
that most of the on- street parking would be removed with the
various roadway options. The parking at Wooddale School could
possibly be reduced depending on the use of the building.
Mr. Martinson moved that the Board recommend acceptance of
alternate A, preservation of the entire School because of its
historic and architectural significance and because it is an asset
to the Community. However, if the City Council concludes that more
park space is necessary, the Board would be able to support
alternative B, preservation of the 1926 portion of the building,
according to the consultant's report. Gary Nyberg seconded the
motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
Mr. Martinson agreed to prepare a report and present it to the City
Council on February 4, 1985.
III. Membership. Mr. Dunwiddie said that Mrs. Mary Nelson would not
be continuing to serve on the board. He requested suggestions for
a replacement.
IV. NEXT MEETING. February 4, at 7:00 p.m. City Council meeting.
February 26, at 8:00 p.m. regular Board meeting.

4801 West 50th St.
Edina, Minn., 55424
J5,
Statement as a result of policies adopted at the Edina Historical
Society's January 29th Board Meeting in reference to Wooddale School.
Our firm position has to be that Wooddale School should be preserved
in its entirety and at the very minimum the auditorium area be
retained in any plan that may be adopted. We consider the audi-
torium to be a major asset to the community. While we are in full
sympathy with the need for park land in or around the County Club
Area, we know that history cannot be reversed and that the park
land originally designated for the area cannot be recovered.
It is of historic signaficance that the building is designated as
a pivital structure in the Country Club Historic Preservation
District which is on the National Register of Historic Places in
Washington, D.C. This does not happen without a great deal of
effort on the part of those who wish to have it so designated but
also involves a great deal of research by the national and state
bodies who designate these sites. This, of course, will be gone
if the school is removed, thus removing part of the prestige given
the Country Club Area by its historic designation.
As an aside, if the old Cahill School and Grange Hall buildings
are moved,they too will be removed from the historic sites list.
With Edina's Centennial coming in 1988, it seems almost ludicrous
that we would be tearing down an historic building rather than
working toward preserving it for future generations. Wooddale was,
for many years, the only full scale schooloperation in Edina, which
makes it unique.in itself. One cannot help but ask,why destroy
something that would be so hard to replace? Will those Edina
citizens of forty years from now be as appalled at our insensitivity
as we are at the major blunder made when they sold the property
that was originally designated for park land in the Country Club
Area in the 1940's and the lack of foresight when they tore down
the Edina Mill in the 1930's?
We have tried to research to the best of our ability, without the
aid of professional help, in order to learn what usages the build-
ing could serve in the community. The following are what we found
to impact on that subject.
1. We investigated the allegation that we didn't need another
"white elephant" or "albatross," as the Community Center
(old Edina East) is frequently called, to further the tax
burden of Edina's citizens. What we found was that the
Community Center was not only completely in use but that
there was a waiting list to get into the building and that
while the building is referred to an a Community Center, a
Edina City Council
Page 2
lions share of the facility is school or business oriented
and not used for "community" activities. This meets almost
none of the requirements submitted by the Edina Bicentennial
Commission study on the need for an Edina Community Center.
(That Commission was the fifth study done on that same subject -
all five commissions recommended that a Community Center was
needed.)
2. We learned that there were many uses that the building could
serve. Foremost is the need to solve the growing needs of
the elderly in Edina. Based on census data and many more
recent studies - Edina has the fastest growing senior popu-
lation in the county. We are informed that the South
Hennepin Health and Human Services have been interested in
setting up a sattelite office in Wooddale since the day the
school was closed. Their main interest is the location of
the building with its proximity to bus lines, city facilities
and the 50th and France area. Therefore they had little or
no interest in occupying space at the Community Center. An
interesting bit of information they supplied was that over
fifty percent of their calls for in -home service are coming
from Edina while the agency serves Eden Prairie, Bloomington
and Richfield as well. They also informed us that the Day
Care facility for Seniors is no longer in operation. This
being a growing concern in the world around us, should
concern us as citizens of Edina. They supplied us with the
data from the study commissioned by the Bloomington City
Council and we submit that Edina probably should look into
the idea of doing a similar study.
3. Another very real need that surfaced was the need of space
for the performing arts groups in Edina whether they be
dance, music or theatre groups. An example of which is the
Second John Phillip Sousa Band which everyone would have to
admit is an asset to Edina and certainly gives us favorable
visibility elsewhere. The Edina theatre group is having
many problems with space as are other dance groups and
vocal musical performers.
4. If the building were to be destroyed where would the things
presently being housed in the building go? Would it be
necessary to build another facility to meet future needs
that are already present and many that are not far off?
Where will the museum and the collection of historic Edina
artifacts go? Where would the City voting machine be
stored? Where will the high school party supplies be kept
and worked on every year? Edinamite supplies are another
question. What if the city finds it needs more expansion
space. Where will that be? What will be done to address
the needs of girls' sports? What of the needed facilities
for the gymnastics groups? Where will all of these things
be housed in the future?
Edina City Council
Page 3
In final analysis is the tax payer going to be well served by
destroying a building historic or not that is still in sound
condition and a real asset to the community when there are so many
needs in the community that are not presently being met? Can we
afford to then construct other structures in the near future that
will meet all of these needs? What is really the most cost efficient
outcome for Edina? All of Edinal While this might not be the
happiest solution for the immediate neighborhood, what about the
city as a whole? Therefore, we believe that city as a whole not
only now but in the future would be best served by retaining the
Wooddale School as a public building.
Thank you for the consideration you have shown to the Edina Historical
Society. We respectfully submit this report.

Letter submitted to the Park Board for their January 22nd meeting.
Dear Joan:
I'm sorry that I cannot send you a more comprehensive statement
from the Historical Society but until our January 29th Board meeting
I will not have all of the facts and concerns before me.
Naturally saving Wooddale would be our first choice for a number of
reasons that I can expand on at a later date; however, our board is
not impressed with plans "C" or "D." "C" is out because it looks
strange and really serves little purpose and "D" looks like a good
spot for grafitti and pidgeons.
As I told you at our last meeting on January 9th, one major concern
was in regard to the moving of our two buildings from Tupa Park to
Utley Park. In passing it was remarked at the informational meeting
that a room might be built in a basement area between the two other
buildings. The concern there was the need to have a building above
ground as we are having many problems with damp basements now and
the new location being so close to the creek would only make that
worse. Our collections are much too valuable to be destroyed by
dampness. i.e. our clothing collection is one of the largest and
best in the state. Some other concerns were the location of the
buildings (will they be targets for vandalism if they were put in
the more westerly location? Will the parking lot be adequate for
a bus turn around so that we can continue our school program? Will
the boutiques which bring us much needed funds and great publicity
for the Society have to be discontinued if we are moved? What
happens to the name of the park (Frank Tupa and Kay Brown)(the
room dedicated in her memory)? Both names we feel should always
be attached to our whereabouts since they played such an important
role in the development of our Historical Society.
The one concern that we always have is what purpose do we serve in
the community as a whole beyond the collecting and preserving of
Edina's very colorful history. The Board for many years has felt
that our real mission is to provide living, hands on historical
interpretation of our buildings and collections. What we want most
to avoid is a dusty old museum somewhere that only history buffs
might sometime seek out. Edina's history belongs to all of Edina
and all those who have ancestors here. You might be surprised to
know that our recruests for information come from all over the United

Dear Mr. Mayor and Council:
I attended the public information meeting held at Wooddale
School on January 16. The purpose of this letter is to give
you my impression of the alternatives presented and some
thoughts that you may wish to include in your deliberations
toward adoption of an action plan.
Let me begin by repeating in writing what I have said to many
of you personally, that because of my very active involvement
in the Wooddale community and in particular the long and
painful debates over the closing of Wooddale School, it may
be that I am not a rational or objective observer of the area.
My personal opinion is that the closing of Wooddale School was
not a sound decision. _
My thoughts in random order are as follows:
1. Even though there are diehards like me, the school
is now closed and the property has been transferred to the
administration of the City. 'The exact terms of that transfer
s
Edina City Council
Page 2
are unclear to me, but for the school district to retain any
interest or control over that site does not make sense if the
land use cannot be for a school because of State guidelines
and the adopted plan of the Edina School Board. I can
appreciate that the land was transferred with the understanding
that the site be used for some "public purpose" but in my
opinion, that is as far as any restriction should go.
2. The various alternatives to retain all or parts of
the school for community use seem admirable and possibly useful
if the City is willing to subsidize whatever structure remains.
I have serious doubts that there are enough "public purpose"
organizations that would actually pay even the very bargain
rates quoted over a long -term period to make the project even
a breakeven proposition from the standpoint of the City. I do
not believe any of the total or limited uses of the existing 'or
remodeled facility are sustainable economically over any
reasonable length of time.
3. While the idea of `•the "monument" has - a certain -- -
appeal to me, I don't think it is justified if it would restrict
a better site plan that could be designed if it was removed.
If it is deemed to be of historic significance, perhaps it could
be moved to a part of the site that would not encumber any other
planning.
Edina City Council
Page 3
4. If the area is going to be used for a park, I
believe the Park Department should recommend to the City a plan
that gives the fullest utilization possible to the site. The
neighborhood has long perceived a need for a "neighborhood park"
and I believe that if the site is going to be used for a "public
purpose," that is the appropriate use.
5. While I have always supported the concept of a
tunnel walkway connection between Wooddale and Utley Park, I
believe careful consideration should be given to whether or not
this would become an attractive nuisance or a safety risk,
especially for young children as it is my understanding that
the contemplated design places the walkway physically over or
adjacent to the creek.
6. The alternative plans presented for Utley Park
were interesting to me, especially the alternative that seemed
to turn it into a historic park with the moving of the old
Cahill School buildings to the park.
I have not studied the various plans in detail,
but it seemed to me that the existing tennis courts were
retained in all cases. At the risk of sounding parochial,
it is my judgment that those tennis courts are used heavily by
a high proportion of non -Edina residents. They could possibly
Edina City Council
Page 4
be relocated to some other near location, especially if keeping
them in their present location dictates design constraints that
would limit the optimal development of Utley Park.
7. There was considerable discussion at the public
meeting about the creation of safer and more appealing facilities
for the canoeists who use Minnehaha Creek. Minnehaha Creek is
a regional asset and is used heavily by residents of the region.
In some years, the canoeing season is very short. While I
recognize that the City of Edina has always prided itself on
being a contributing member of the regional recreation community,
I question whether.it is good policy for the City of Edina to
provide parking lots, portage. areas, rest areas and picnic
grounds that mainly benefit regional residents in a small urban
park.
8. One of the great assets of the Wooddale community
is St. Stephen's Church. While it may not be recommended public
policy to provide off- street parking for churches, I believe
everything possible should be done to do just that in any
redesign of both Utley Park and the Wooddale site. I further
support the consultant's view that vehicular access to Utley
and the Wooddale site should optimally be off of Wooddale
Avenue rather than West 50th Street. .
Edina City Council
Page 5
9. Relative to the proposals for West 50th Street, I
am confused. There are so many alternatives and safety, design
and aesthetic elements to the various possible combinations that
I am not able to sort them out. Generally, I think the council
should seek the best professional design advice and neighborhood
input and then choose the best alternative regardless of cost.
My random opinions are as follows:
a. Even though the roadway is an oddball width
and does become virtually a two -lane road
much of the time because of parking or weather
constraints, it operates pretty well the way
it is.
b. While the roadway may be in substandard
condition, it is my judgment that it certainly
is not in such bad condition that it is
materially detrimental to vehicles using the
road or that it creates a safety hazard because
of its condition.
c. Although the consultant projects-no significant
traffic increase if the road is upgraded,
somehow I question that projection.
d. While I am a fan of the elm trees, it seems
that they have been so butchered by the power
companies as to be somewhat unnatural and
unattractive in their present condition and I
suppose the forester would say they are all
going to go sooner or later from Dutch Elm disease.
Edina City Council
Page 6
e. Although I was not able to study either of
the alternatives that changed the alignment
of 50th Street in the Wooddale -Utley area,.
I doubt if either one would receive neigh-
borhood support, especially the one that
re- routed the street further to the north.
In summary on the road issue, I believe Edina has always sought
out the right and best solution to improvement issues. Let
your eventual decision be driven by the real needs of the
neighborhood and the City, not by available funding.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We would like to express our views regarding the
Wooddale /Utley /50th Street Project:
1. We prefer the Monument alternative for the
Wooddale School building.
2. We prefer alternative C for the 50th Street
segment from Highway 100 to ` nooddale, because
we believe that turning lanes are absolutely
essential. (Betty was the victim of a year-
end collision recently as she waited to turn
north at Dale Drive ) The possibility of
state -aid for this part of the project is
appealing.
3. The canoe /skating lagoon is a great idea for
Utley, as is the pedestrian underpass.
We appreciated very much the thorough briefing of
this complex proposal that you provided for the many
interested residents of this neighborhood.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Courtney & Edina City Council:
I am interested in the decisions being made regarding
Utley Park and the Wooddale School site.

I believe it would be best to raze the old school building
and create an unstructured park area including the play-
ground.
My preference would be to maintain Utley Park as it stands
with no underpass access. The two existing tennis courts
are adequate for the present space.
In addition, I don't believe a median on 50th Street would
be in the best interest of the City's taxpayers.
Thank you.

Dear City Council Member:
Concerning the Wooddale site, we would like to recommend
maintaining a maximum amount of green space and trees. From
what we gather, having attended both information sessions and
read the evaluation report, this concept could best be implement-
ed by keeping Utlev Park as it is, without adding more paved
parking there. Plan E could develope the former school site
for sports and leisure and allow the minimum parking facilities
needed where the land would already be open and probably not
necessitate further tree removal. Also, any pavement there
would take up a 'proport'i'onally smaller area than at Utley.
Likewise, we would like to see Plan A adopted for both
sections of 50th Street since that would maintain its present,
residential character and trees. We hope you agree.
Yours truly,

To the City Council:
You are currently considering proposals that would have impact on the
existence and use of Wooddale School as well as 50th Street between Arden and
Highway 100.
With regard to the former, we are opposed to any alterations which would
render the structure unusable as a neighborhood school. With generally
increasing enrollments, the rising costs of providing bus transportation, and
the re- juvenilization of the neighborhood that could be served by the school,
the potential offered by re- opening that facility is significant.
As for the re- vamping of the traffic lanes on 50th, we are unalterably to any
change which would route additional traffic down Wooddale Avenue from 50th
into St. Louis Park:
JDP /c
1. The volume and speed of the traffic on Wooddale already
poses a hazard to the substantial number of children living
in homes along the street.
2. The design of the street, with S -turns at Country Club and
Sunnyside, and two Stop Signs, is not conducive to the
current, let alone an increased flow.
3. The character of the neighborhood would be changed
significantly with the noise and pollution created by more
traffic.

Dear Members of the Council,
As you consider the plans and alternatives presented
by the BRW study I would like you to give careful
thought to the following:
1. Since these are neighborhood parks, what will
benefit the immediate neighborhood the most?
2. Some of the combinations of alternatives were
exceeding the 1.5 million dollar mark. What
responsibility do you have to the taxpayer for
prudent use of city funds?
3. Is there any reason at all to widen a street
that has an accident rate that is less than
one half that of national average for the same
type of street?
I trust that your decisions will be sound.

Dear Sir,
On behalf of BRAVO! Italian Specialities, Inc., I have applied for an
on -sale beer license to be operated at 4926 France Avenue South in the
Peterson Mall. This is a new enterprise scheduled to open approximately
March 1, 1985. The City Council will consider the application on
February 4, 1985.
It is my understanding that the Council may delay approval of a
license until the business has operated for six months. By this
letter I wish to petition the Council to waive this policy at the
time of considering the application on February 4, 1985.
BRAVO! Italian Specialities Inc., is a single location food business
that will specialize in Italian foods, mainly pizza, fresh pasta
and sandwiches. The concept is to offer noon, take -out and eat -in
foods, both fully prepared and ready for home cooking. For customers
eating in at the location we believe offering beer as a traditional
Italian beverage with food, along with soft drinks, will be expected
by customers and will be helpful in acceptance of the restaurant.
We do not expect that beer sales will exceed 5 to 8% of gross sales,
but we believe that the availability of beer for adults could materially
affect the degree of success during the critical first -year-of operation.
So that we can initally present our restaurant to customers as it
will be operating, we respectfully request that we be accepted for
the beer license effective on opening day, on or about March 1, 1985.
Sincerely,
Antonio Cecconi

Per your request, I'm following up our 17 December 1984 phone
conversation about Canada goose population problems in Edina with
further details.
My graduate students and I have conducted extensive research on
the bird and firmly believe that the most feasible, economical, and
long -term method of controlling urban Canada geese is by limiting
their reproduction. Our current research is aimed at developing and
testing reduction procedures.
I've enclosed a detailed proposal for conducting a control
program in Edina and several short background publications on
management of urban geese. The costs outlined on the budget page
are based on expenditures in our ongoing programs in Minneapolis and
Golden Valley. If after reviewing these materials, you feel
further discussions would be fruitful, I would be happy to meet
with you to explore implementation of a goose population management
program.

Title: Population management of Edina Canada Geese.
Prepared by: Dr. James A. Cooper, Associate Professor, Department of
Fisheries and Wildlife, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN. (612-
373 -1722)
Date: 11/05/84
Importance:
Extirpated by market and subsistence hunting over much of its southern
range during settlement, the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) has been
reestablished in the midwest and elsewhere. This successful wildlife
management program resulted from federal, state, and private efforts (Nelson
1963, Dill and Lee 1970, and Cooper 1978).
Contemporary landscaping and farming practices have greatly enhanced
Canada goose habitat. Lawns, soybeans, small grains, and pasture sown on
lake and wetland shorelines provide a super- abundance of brood- rearing
habitat in both rural and urban settings, while these sites and harvested
agricultural crops, especially corn and small grains, are used at other
times of the year. This, coupled with refuges created to protect the birds
during establishment and the expansion of cities where hunting is not
permitted, have lead to a phenomenal population growth in past 20 years.
Because Canada geese are highly social and occur in flocks during all
periods of the year except nesting (Zicus 1981, Schultz 1983) and graze
extensively on grasses, fortis, and crops, goose flocks, particularly adults
1
\;
with flightless young, began to damage Minnesota crops in 1980 ,(Rase 1981).
Concentrations of geese and their droppings in city parks, on golf courses,
and goose flights near airports have lead to a growing number of complaints
in urbanized areas, e. g., Denver, Minneapolis -St. Paul, Toronto, Boston,
and West Chester County in New York (Laycock 1982, Oetting 1983). While
population reductions methods, such as capture and removal and increased
hunting kill, have been used, none have be adequately tested or documented
in the literature.
Objectives:
1. To assist with development of population objectives, i. e., the
acceptable number of geese at specific sites within Edina.
2. To model populations and estimate removal levels needed to attain and
maintain desired population levels.
3. Provide technical expertise and participate in public hearings and
assist with public relations.
4. To coordinate and do goose removal in 1985 and 1986, and egg removal in
1987 and 1988 as population control procedures.
5. To monitor population levels from 1985 to 1988 to ascertain population
reduction effectiveness.
Methods:
Model —Much of the data necessary to construct a model have been gathered
from 1973 to 1983 for the Metropolitan Twin Cities Canada Goose populations
(Salyer 1977, Cooper unpubl. data).. Parameters that have been measured
include participation in breeding by sex and age class, age related
2
productivity, effect of re- pairing, emigration and immigration, gosling,
subadult, and adult survival. Additional data are needed on the effect of
density reduction on breeding participation, dispersal, and survival.
These data will obtained by capturing and neckbanding (Sherwood 1966)
flightless, immature geese, and subsequently capturing and removing the
breeding segment of the population the next summer. Because Canada geese do
not breed until 2 years of age, or older, by monitoring the breeding
participation rate of the marked geese in the following 2 years and
comparing the rate of participation with existing data (Cooper, unpubl.),
the effect of the lowering the density can be determined. Survival and
dispersal of will be ascertained from neckband reobservation (Cormack 1964;
Cooper 1975). The model will be based on the Jolly method as modified Barry
(1977) except that neckband observations will be employed instead of legband
recaptures.
Removal -The effectiveness of goose and eggs removal will be predicted using
the model and evaluated by monitoring population growth. Population level
objectives will be established in consultation with cooperating city and
agency personnel. Selected target populations will be reduced by capturing
and removing young and adults during the summer flightless period (Martz et
al. 1982), while nests of other target populations will be located by
searching from the ground or canoe (Cooper 1978) and a predetermined number
of eggs removed. Growth in these populations will be measured by 1)
ascertaining nest densities using methods similar to that of Cooper (1978),
2) by conducting brood counts prior arrival of migrants in mid - September,
and by doing population counts from mid - September to December.

STATUS AND PRODUCTIVITY OF CANADA GEESE BREEDING IN THE
TWIN CITIES OF MINNESOTA 1

St. Paul, Minnesota 55108
Minneapolis -St. Paul, Minnesota, resemble a number of American cities that
are home to breeding, wild Canada geese. In recent years, state, city, and
private organizations have begun an active wildlife management program.
However, questions about the management and ecology of urban Canada geese
have been difficult to answer. With this impetus, a study was initiated in
1973. Investigation objectives include assessment of the history, status,
and ecology of these metropolitan birds.2 This paper presents data on the
status, reproductive success, and management of Twin Cities Canada geese.
Twelve major breeding flocks of Canada geese are distributed throughout a
seven - county metropolitan area of nearly 3,000 square miles (Figure 1).
Three flocks are located east of the Mississippi River, an average of 15
miles apart, while nine flocks west of the river average about 7 miles from
a neighboring flock. Twin Cities Canada geese share their environment with
more than two million people.
HISTORY
The breeding populations under study have varied histories. Three flocks
have been established on private lands, one at the Carlos Avery Wildlife
Management Area, one in a city park, one in a city nature center, one on the
grounds of the General Mills Corporation, and five in the Hennepin County
Park Reserve District. Several other flocks are still in the building stage
and have not attained free- flight status. In addition, there are numerous
individuals throughout the city who harbor a few pair of geese on a backyard
pond or raise and release young geese each year.
Starting in 1955, introductions to the metro area came from a variety of cap-
tive and semi - domestic flocks. Most birds were large geese obtained from
game breeders in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Oklahoma. In recent
years, geese have also come from South Dakota, North Dakota, and the Delta_
Waterfowl Research Station, Manitoba, danada.
RACE IDENTIFICATION
Measurements of exposed culmen length from a 1974 sample of birds ranks the
present population among the largest reported (Table 1). In size and general
confirmation, Twin Cities geese cannot be distinguished from other goose
populations of mid - continental United States, identified as giant Canada
geese (Branta canadensis maxima) (Hanson, 1965). -"

STATUS
All twelve breeding flocks were established by holding pinioned or wing
clipped birds until they nested and allowing the young to free fly. In
general, each home flock area consists of a small refuge supporting a high
density nesting population. Islands, both natural and man -made, and arti-
ficial platforms are common nest site types, accounting for 87 percent of
the nests studied (Table 2).
Population pressures are sufficient in each home flock to force nesting
birds to pioneer into surrounding areas. In the Hennepin County Park
Reserve District, dispersing birds find ample nesting habitat within areas
ranging in size from 1,200 to 3,000 acres. Birds from other flocks are
moving into residential areas and nesting on lake shorelines, in city parks,
and small marshes. Many geese nest in close proximity to sources of poten-
tial disturbances, such as. nature trails, freeways, railroads, and houses.
By early September each year, pairs nesting some distance from the flocks
return with their young. This allows accurate population counts to be made.
In 1974, individual flocks ranged from 25 to 600 birds, giving a total
population of about 1800 geese (Figure 2). Foreign geese mix with local
birds increasing the metro population to well over 2,000 by mid -October.
NEST STUDIES
Nesting studies were initiated in 1973 to compare the productivity of nest-
ing geese in urban areas versus rural or wild habitats. Egg fertility,
and nest, egg, and hatching success were measured for 80 nests in 1973 and
128 nests in 1974. Nests were studied in both refuge areas and suburban
and urban locations.
Dates of nest initiation were established by locating nests during the lay-
ing period and backdating 1.5 days per egg. Special effort was made to visit
nests of unknown initiation date during the period of hatching in order to
back -date to the laying period (Figure 3). Cooper (1973) found that click -
ing noises begin inside the egg on day 24 of incubation, strong vocalizations
on.day 25, pipping on day 26, hatching on day 27, and departure from the
nest early on day 28.
NEST ESTABLISHMENT
Migrating Twin Cities geese return from their wintering grounds in February
and eary March, and begin nesting as early as mid- March. First nests were
established on March 17 and March 18 in 1973 and 1974 respectively. Most
nests were started during the last week in March and the first week in
April, 1973 (Figure 4). Cold, March temperatures of the following year
delayed the peak of nest initiation until the middle of April.
The last nest started in each season was on May 4, 1973, and May 8, 1974.
One was a known re -nest. Duration of the nesting season, that time between
first clutch started and last clutch hatched, was 80 and 81 days for the two
years.

NEST SUCCESS
Overall reproduction was good both years. Seventy -three percent of all
nests were successful, having at least one egg hatch (Table 3).
Six causes of nest loss were identified; nest desertion (11 %), nest fail-
ures (unhatched clutches) (5 %), predation (5 %), flooding (3 %), platform
failure (2 %), and death of a mate (1 %). It is significant that no nests
were known to be deserted or destroyed because of human disturbance.
All desertions were in high nest density areas of the home flocks where
competition for nest sites was intense. Fifteen of the 23 nest desertions
occured early during the laying or incubation period.
Fertility of deserted eggs was markedly lower than for all other clutches.
Only 49 percent of deserted eggs were fertile compared to 87 percent for
other eggs (Table 4)e Cooper (1973) in reporting similar findings at
Marshy Point, Manitoba, suggested that low fertility rates and behavior of
deserting birds demonstrated some type of infirmity in the pair bond. It
seems unlikely that normal human activities around nest sites, such as
trail walking, maintenance activities, and nest study visits, contributed
significantly to observed desertions.
A unique cause of nest desertion occurs in three of the flocks. The
Hennepin County Park Reserve District is re- establishing Trumpeter Swans in
suitable habitats within the district. Six of 23 nest desertions resulted
from Canada geese attempting to nest inside refuge pens for breeding swans.
Goose -swan conflicts will not significantly affect nest success in the Twin
Cities since it is unlikely that Trumpeter swans will ever achieve such
densities as to occupy major portions of goose nesting habitat.
EGG SUCCESS
Egg success is a useful measure of productivity since it integrates losses
due to both internal and external factors (Cooper, 1973). Egg success is
the percentage of all eggs that hatch. Fates of eggs found during the
nesting season were tallied by immediate causes'of egg failure (e.g. infer-
tile, deserted eggs were classified as desertion losses although they would
not have hatched if incubated) .
Egg success from all nests was 66 percent (Table 5). Desertion and
infertility were nearly equal causes of egg failure, account i n g f or
16.1 percent of all eggs. Losses due to predators, flooding, platform
failure, and embryo death were each about 3 percent or less. Negligible
losses, less than 1 percent each, occured from all other causes (e.g. death
of mate, and displaced, frozen, dumped, dropped or broken eggs).
EGG FERTILITY
Egg fertility was determined using recent criteria from Cooper and Batt
(1972). This method consists of examining unhatched eggs under laboratory
conditions for evidence of embryo development. Egg content color and
deterioration were not considered valid indicators of fertility.
(4)
si
Infertility was the greatest productivity loss among Twin Cities geese.
Fourteen percent of the 771 eggs examined were infertile (Table 6). This
figure is similar to a 15 percent infertility rate for nesting geese of
Marshy Point, Manitoba (Cooper, 1973). Both rates support the hypothesis
advanced by Hanson (1965:171) that infertility and embryo mortality are
major factors of productivity loss in giant Canada geese.
HATCHING SUCCESS
Hatching success is the percentage of fertile eggs hatching after full
term incubation (28 days). This parameter, which partly measures incuba-
ting success of the female was high, 96.5 percent. Conversely, the
percentage of embryos dying among 664 fertile incubated eggs was low, 3.5
percent (Table 7).
DISCUSSION
Canada geese of the Twin Cities are as productive as geese nesting in rural
and wild habitats (Table 8). Comparison of production statistics reveals
no major differences in egg, hatching and nest success between these urban
geese and other flocks of large Canadas..
Several factors relating to the reproductive success of Twin Cities geese
are:
1. Canada geese are early nesters; broods come off the nests before
heavy.recreational use of the cities' lakes and marshes.
2. Private lands, nature centers, and park reserves serve as breeding
refuges where human activities are restricted to nature trails,
observation blinds, and tours conducted by naturalists.
3._ Geese nesting in residential districts are often protected by neigh-
borhood "vigilantees" who keep a close eye on "their geese."
4. The Canada goose is a large bird, often aggressive in defense of its
nest when accustomed to the sight of people. It is a tenacious
incubator, staying on the nest about 99 percent of the day (Cooper,
1973) .
5. Substantial nesting habitat exists in the Twin Cities.
6. Management programs successfully reduce nest losses.
MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The nesting data suggests that increasing productivity of Canada geese will
not be the leading concern of wildlife managers in the Twin Cities. More
important will be long -range problems caused by expanding goose populations
in an urban center.
One prominent management goal will be to manipulate distribution of flocks
to insure that many people will have opportunities to view the birds. A
small goose flock is truly a local resource, enjoyed most by residents
living near the home flock area. Therefore, it is desirable to increase
the number of separate breeding flocks rather than just the total population
of geese. Lakes,marshes, and parks near the inner city are particularly
valuable cites as they are close to many people.
Human safety is another concern. Traffic accidents have been caused by
pairs with broods crossing busy highways to reach suitable molting areas.
This situation can be minimized by starting flocks on water areas adequate
for the entire brood rearing period. Artificial nesting platforms often
encourage geese to nest in appropriate locations.
Chances for air collisions are small, but it would take only one goose and
one airplane to create a disaster. A "no flock" buffer zone around airports
would help prevent concentrations of geese from forming close to flight paths.
in the fall, large aggregations of birds present special problems. High
grain prices discourage nature centers, private individuals, and others from
feeding geese as though they were songbirds. Instead, managers are turning
to pasture or grasslands to feed the geese. This can be as easy as maintain -
ing a lush, green lawn. Nature centers and park reserve districts are also
beginning use of fire to restore grazing areas.
Artificial feeding can have serious effects on goose behavior. Geese
dependent on handouts become tame. Most flock managers prevent this situa-
tion by limiting close human contact, artificial feeding, and forcing their
geese to become migratory.
Another management problem in the Main Cities is population control of
expanding flocks. Although mortality studies are incomplete, it appears
that hunting pressure in suburban areas is not limiting population growth.
Geese on urban sites are protected even more. However, it is not the sole
purpose of nature centers and park reserves to act as goose refuges. A
large goose concentration can be detrimental to the total management program
of a nature center. Wood Lake Nature Center confronted overpopulation on
their urban site with a flock totaling only 85 geese.
Techniques necessary for population control of urban Canada geese are fortun-
ately quite simple. A small crew can efficiently capture molting geese in
drive trapping operations using portable nets and poles. Surplus production
can be used to build new flocks of geese in other locations just as breeding
geese in the Denver metro area supplied some Colorado re- stocking programs -
(Will, 1969) .
Canada geese have adapted well to the metropolitan environment of the Twin
Cities and other areas (Dill and Lee, 1970). With planning, the Canada
goose will play an important role in enriching urban - suburban living. The
problems need be few and the benefits great indeed.

The Urban Goose
- - - ftw;
Once a soul - stirring s}mbd of northern wilds,
tine Canada goose has become as citified as
the pigeon; and the citizenry is beginning
to find fault with the bird it once befriended.

J--

that brought the farm lad up from his chores. Now, years
6
later, he still remembers scanning the heavens until the distant
r ,
specks grew into birds, and there could not be the slightest
-
doubt of what they were. The giant southbound Canada
geese passed over the autumn sky, then across the hills and
,
out of sight.
The great geese had come and gone quickly, but they left
the boy with an indelible memory and visions of distant
lonely marshes in some empty land to the north. The passing
.
of the geese had touched him deeply, as it must have many
others through the centuries.
If the giant geese in flight can do this for the human spirit
once a year, would not the pleasures be multiplied a hun-
dredfold if we were to have the geese around every day?
Given this possibility it was inevitable that people would try
to manipulate the lives and travels of wild Canada geese. And
they found they could do it with remarkable ease. This '
discovery was the first step in making the Canada goose the —
center of what one biologist has called "a wildlife management
success story without parallel." In 1927, Canada geese were

lished themselves. With the creation of new refuges, wild
goose populations built up, while smaller flocks of birds were
encouraged to take up residence in the hearts of numer-
ous villages and cities. They have flourished beyond all
expectations.
There are flocks of urban geese in dozens of cities from
Seattle to Boston. Nobody knows how many Canada geese
are now city dwellers all or part of the year. "Undoubtedly
they number in the hundreds of thousands," says Robert B.
Oetting of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's regional office
in Twin Cities, Minnesota. Oetting calls this resource "im-
mense and growing." Furthermore, geese still are being re-
leased in parks and sanctuaries.
The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have a
resident flock of about 7,000 Canada geese, all originating
with birds released in the mid- 1950s. James A. Cooper,
long -time student of the Canada goose and associate professor
of wildlife at the University of Minnesota, points out the
tremendous advantages of city living for the geese. In and
around the Twin Cities, geese occupy about fifty square miles
where they are safe from hunting. "Every year," says Cooper,
"another town council finds its human population reaching a
level that prompts it to outlaw discharging firearms, giving the
geese a growing area where they are not hunted."
The Canadas are the best known of the North American
geese —with their black-stocking heads and necks and their
white cheek patches. There is, however, an astounding racial
variety among them. Harold C. Hanson of the Illinois Natural
History Survey, an authority on these racial differences, has
assembled a collection of 1,300 skins and skeletons of Canada
geese from all comers of the continent. Most waterfowl
biologists speak of six to twelve races of Canada geese, but
Hanson says there are closer to forty. Members of the smallest
race are scarcely larger than mallards; those of the giant race
weigh as much as twenty -six pounds and have up to a
seven -foot wingspread.
This giant Canada goose, known among scientists as Branca
canadensis maxima, is native to a broad section of the upper
Midwest. It is easily separated from other Canada geese by
both physical and behavioral traits. Hanson wrote of it in his
book, THE GIANT CANADA GooSE: "The placid disposition
of the giant Canada goose sets it apart from all other races."
Its tameness has permitted its domestication, and old -time
goose shooters —and doubtless some Indian tribes before
them —used the giant geese as decoys. "If this race of geese had
been native to Europe," Hanson adds, "it would undoubtedly
have been the progenitor of a domestic breed."
For three decades the giant Canada goose was believed to
be extinct. In the winter of 1962, though, Hanson found that
members of the goose flock he was studying in Rochester,
Minnesota, were of the giant race. Other flocks were iden-
tified later. The biggest Canada goose of all was finding
success in the cities. There was no hope of keeping them out
on the marsh after they'd seen Fergus Falls.
"The Fergus Falls, Minnesota, flock," says Bob Oetting, "is a
good case study in urban Canada goose sagas." The city traces
its goose population to birds first purchased by the Fergus
Falls Fish and Game Club in 1963. Arland (Bud) Anderson,
then president of the club, recalls that "one club member who
was a state waterfowl biologist said that, with all the open
water we have, we should be able to establish a permanent
breeding flock of Canada geese. The giant Canada goose was
the one we wanted because we are right in the heart of its
original range, and it only migrates a limited distance, and in
open waters it may not migrate at all." Soon civic clubs,
business people, and the city council were caught up in the
plan. "Everyone thought the goose project was an excellent
idea," says Anderson.
The club picked up a bargain in six mated pairs. The
following year members went down to Round Lake, on the
Iowa border, and bought forty more young birds, and then
later that year they added another five mated pairs. The
young were allowed to fly free beginning in 1965. "It worked
right from the start," says Anderson. "We see geese now every
day of the year."
The Fergus Falls flock has grown until within a ten -mile
radius there is a fall population of 5,000 resident giant Canada
geese, which the Fergus Falls club attributes to its efforts.
These birds escape much of the normal hunting pressure
because the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, at
the club's urging, established a goose refuge covering 155
square miles around Fergus Falls. Included are marshes, lakes,
and sections of the Pelican and Otter Tail rivers.
Inevitably there have been some complaints. The club has
a three - person "Depredations Committee" that rushes off to
meet with any regional farmer who reports trouble with geese
in his fields. The committee members take along scarecrows,
gas guns, and cracker shells. And advice. "We've learned a lot
about goose damage control in the last two or three years,"
says Anderson. "Sometimes you can just leave your pickup
truck in the field overnight and the geese %ill move. But
people like the geese. This is just like anything else; if you
want something nice, you have to pay something for it."
IF ALL CANADA GEESE did was stand around
on green lawns looking regal or float quietly on
ponds in the park, nobody would object. The geese, after all,
add rare beauty to the urban scene whether on the ground or
in the sky.
However, one must be a realist. Given enough geese, the
citizens of any town are going to turn on the birds they once
befriended and begin finding fault. Alan Stewart, a biologist
in the Pontiac office of the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources, believes, "Twenty is the magic number. People still
like to see geese, but one pair may be more attractive than a
large flock. Let a flock build higher than twenty, and we start
getting complaints."
Much of the trouble comes from the fact that a big bird
leaves big droppings. "The goose," says one biologist, "is an
eating and defecating machine." City dwellers love geese until
they have to walk with exceeding caution where the geese
have been, step around droppings on the golf course. and
clean the backyard before letting the toddlers out to play. In
some neighborhoods wild geese even use the swimming
pools. Ponds in Massachusetts have been closed to swimming
after being fouled by geese.
Golf course manners are seldom among the noose's true
—46—
4Ifriends. Geese graze the succulent grass, leaving behind drop-
rings complete with weed seeds. Golfers find that a goose on
:he fairway destroys concentration. One golfer became so
Q:uaged that he killed a goose, whereupon he had to appear in
curt.
As goose flocks build, there also may be problems in
:rrounding farmlands. "Some farmers," says Kenneth Rose,
=' -hector of the West Otter Tail County Extension Service in
-US Falls, "have claimed damage by geese getting into their
:in. You get a hundred or two hundred of those big old
cats, and they can really clean up a grain field in a hurry."
geese simply walk through the field, grazing on tender
as -.!.l2 wheat, oats, and barley. Rose reports that, so far, few
;)le have gotten upset by them. "The geese are a part of
I lives. They come right into the backyards, and .I've often
aught that, if you opened the door, you could coax one of
se rascals right inside."
his level of tolerance, however, is less than universal,
zcially among soybean farmers, who pay $110 to $130 an
-c to plant their crop. Geese may be a bigger threat to
.beans than they are to cereal grains. The University of
nnesota's Jim Cooper first heard of goose damage to
beans four years ago and says reports of damage have been
:reasing, with some losses as large as ten acres. Soybeans are
anted on heavy, wet soil, which frequently is found adjacent
waterfowl refuges. Geese are adaptable animals, and Coop -
points out that they will eat almost any succulent plant in
:oportion to its abundance. Soybeans are succulent, and as
_ese adapt to eating them, damage could become more
crious.
"In early work with giant Canadas," says one waterfowl
•iologist, "we didn't think in terms of what we would do if we
•ucceeded so well that we ended up with surpluses." They are
thinking about it now, though. Public opinion still leans
!ieavily toward protection of the geese —no matter how many
of them are loafing on city lawns, parks, and sidewalks. So the
state and federal wildlife agencies search for and evaluate
every line of action that might reduce the exploding goose
populations yet be acceptable to people. One of the first ideas
was to transplant the surplus geese to new homes.
This has been done in several places, including Toronto. In
1947 Toronto city fathers decided that Canadians, of all
people, should be able to see Canada geese frequently. A few
giant Canada geese were moved from the city zoo onto
Toronto Island, where they grazed in contentment. All went
splendidly for years, but by 1978 L. H. Eckel, Ontario's
executive coordinator of outdoor recreation for the Ministry
of Natural Resources, was saying, "The population of Canada
geese at Toronto Island has burgeoned in recent years to a
more or less manageable number of resident birds, which
seemingly devote a great deal of their time to the routine
destruction of lawns and other vegetation and the general
despoiling of park property."
A plan to move 1,000 of the offending birds west to the
Manitoba - Ontario border was fought down by the Canadian
Wildlife Service, which said that area already had Canada
geese. Inevitably, the beleaguered Toronto officials began think-
ing of a direct assault on the geese. Waterfowi biolo0sts main -
1 rain a close working relationship that transcends national bor-
ders, and word of the impending fate of Toronto's geese soon
reached Karl E. Bednarik of Ohio's Department of Natural
Resources. He said, "Whoa, we can use those geese in Ohio."
Bednarik, who is credited with bringing Canada geese back
to Ohio's wetlands, needed birds of the giant race to stock
reclaimed strip -mined lands in the hills of southeastern Ohio.
Here, the Ohio Power Company had created a showplace
with dozens of ponds surrounded by fields of grass. Ohio sent
trucks north to haul back 1,500 geese. Within two years the
Ohio Power Company lands were home to 2,500 geese (a
figure Bednarik believes can go to 4,000 or 5,000) living far
from towns and kept in balance by hunting.
This relieved the pressure in Toronto — temporarily. In sub-
sequent years trucks hauled geese to other states, but ob.
viously there is a limit to places needing more geese.
There are other ways to help hold down the number of
geese in a city flock. A research team working for the National
Wildlife Health Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, made
news when it surgically sterilized seventy -three wild ganders in
New York State. Vasectomy, which is costly and time -con-
suming, is not advanced as a practical approach, however.
"No others-will be given vasectomies," says a representative of
the laboratory. "This was simply to give us a supply of geese
for behavioral studies."
Perhaps the only way to control the rapidly expanding
goose flocks in many incorporated areas is to destroy the
birds' eggs. Break or remove the eggs and the geese soon
replace them, but if eggs are sprayed with miscible oil, a
suffocating agent, the geese go on incubating until the season
is too far along for a new nesting effort. This procedure has
the advantages of being relatively inexpensive and perhaps
more socially acceptable than destroying adults.
Well - fertilized grass attracts geese, and it may be possible to
lure them away from parks and golf courses by using fertilizer
and water judiciously. Another suggestion is that dogs be
trained to drive off the geese.
Some of lower Michigan's surplus giant Canada geese are
being shipped north to establish new flocks in the Upper
Peninsula. The wings of mated pairs are clipped so the birds
will remain on the peninsula through one nesting season.
After this the parents return to their southern birthplaces to
nest, while their goslings, imprinted by their natal area, nest• in
the North Country. But Alan Stewart of the state's Natural
Resources Department admits, "There is no good solution.
The answers we've found are only temporary."
Another waterfowl biologist says, "It's like dipping water
out of a rain barrel during a downpour. You don't get ahead."
Harvey K. Nelson of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
told waterfowl workers meeting in New Orleans, "We've
responded to demands from governors, congressional delega-
tions, goose hunters, flyway councils, technical sections, natu.
ralists, and anti - vivisectionists. We've reduced populations,
built populations, moved populations, measured populations,
and dispersed populations. We've learned to produce them in
incubators, compounds, pens, baskets, hay bales, tubs, plat-
forms, and even old tires.
"The problem," Nelson points out, "is usually seen as
simply too much success ... too many Canadas in the wrong
places."
