RESOLUTION RELATING TO PARKING RESTRICTIONS
ON VERNON AVENUE
WHEREAS, the City of Edina has planned the improvement of M.S.A.S. 161 (Vernon
Avenue) from Gleason Road to Londonderry Interchange; and
WHEREAS, the City will be expending Municipal State Aid Funds on the improvement
of this street; and
WHEREAS, this improvement does not provide adequate width for parking on both
sides of the street, approval of the proposed construction as a Municipal State
Aid Street project must therefore be conditioned upon certain parking restric-
tions; and
WHEREAS, the extent of these restrictions that would be a necessary prerequisite
to the approval of this construction as a Municipal State Aid project in the
City has been determined;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Edina shall restrict the parking
to motor vehicles on the South side of M.S.A.S. 161 (Vernon Avenue) from Gleason
Road to Habitat Court; and shall restrict the parking to motor vehicles on both
sides from Habitat Court to Londonderry Drive.
Adopted this 28th day of February, 1983.

Edina, Minnesota 55424 RE: Project P -BA -259
Gentlemen:
Since I will be out of town on.Monday, February 28 when the public hearing
takes place regarding Vernon Avenue permanent street surfacing. I wish to
take this opportunity to express my objection to assessing property owners
on streets that may have access to Vernon Avenue. We have access to a lot
of surrounding roads and highways but it has never been the method of
building them to assess property owners who may be in the geogaaphical
area and may drive on them. That is what gas tax should be used for. It
very well may be time to push for an increase in the gas tax in order to
keep up our roads.
Vernon avenue is really more of a highway or through street than it is
a residential street.
I appreciate your service to the city and I know that you struggle with
these problems of financing the necessary improvements in the City. But
I do want to express this objection to this proposed assessment.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Darrel D. Stark

Dear Mr. Hoffman:
RE: Project P -BA -259
PERMANENT STREET SURFACING, SIDEWALK, CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER
It was nice to receive the referenced notice advising of the street
surfacing of Vernon Avenue from Gleason Road to Londerderry Interchange.
I do object to a concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk on this street.
Just one and one half years ago I purchased a condominium at Edina
West and was primarily attracted to the rural atmosphere.
I urge you to not incur this extra expense, and at the same time
change the country like atmosphere of my neighborhood.
Sincer y,

STAFF REPORT
FEBRUARY 2, 1983
Z -83 -1 Gittleman Corporation
S -83 -1 Lewis Ridge Addition
and north of Dewey Hill
R -1 to PRD -3 Planned Residential District
Generally located west of Cahill Road
Road
Refer to: Attached Preliminary Development Plan and Preliminary Plat
and letter from proponent; June 19, 1978, City Council minutes;
and May 31, 1978, Site Plan
The subject property measures 11.65 acres in area and is zoned R -1 Single
Family Dwelling District. To the north of the property is Braemar Oaks
Apartments, to the south is Lewis Park, to the west is a 70 foot wide park
strip which separates the site from single family lots on Lanham Lane and
to the east is a vacant parcel. The Comprehensive Plan designates the
easterly two- thirds of the site for "medium density residential" which has a
density range of 6 - 12 dwelling units per acre. The westerly one -third of
the site is designated for public park and open space purposes.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property to PRD -3 Planned
Residential District. Very detailed preliminary development plans have been
submitted in support of the request. These plans illustrate two condominium
buildings on the property which contain a total of 108 dwelling units. Under -
building and surface parking are provided in numbers which conform to our
requirements. The proposed buildings are three stories of living space above
the underbuilding garage which is principally below grade but is at grade in
some areas. The entertainment /recreation facilities are located on the garage
level.
The proposed condominium buildings are very similar in shape and height
to Mr. Gittleman's development south of Dewey Hill Road. However, the
proposed buildings are considerably more compact - the two major wings of
each building are about 70 feet shorter than Dewey Hill. The preliminary
elevation drawings and landscape plans which have been submitted indicate a
similar design and attention to detail as has been developed for Dewey Hill
Condominiums.
Access to this property has been provided by way of a pre- existing easement across
the northerly portion of Lewis Park. This easement will provide permanent access
to the site in that Amundson Avenue has been deleted from our Comprehensive Plan
based upon Council action several years ago.
Many of you will recall a similar zoning request for this property approximately
five years ago by the Lanvesco Corporation. The issues concerning this rezoning
focused on the construction of Amundson Avenue, the dedication of the area lying
west of Amundson Avenue for park purposes and the requested density. Although
the Council decided not to construct Amundson Avenue, it concluded that the
area lying west of Amundson should nevertheless be dedicated for park purposes.
Community Development and Planning Commission
February 2, 1983
Page two
Based upon these decisions, the attached plan showing 96 dwelling units
received preliminary rezoning approval. Lanvesco did not pursue
final approval.
The preliminary plans now submitted propose a reduced park and open space
dedication as compared to the approved Lanvesco plan. The present plans
suggest a park dedication measuring approximately 80 feet in width along the
westerly property boundary. This dedication coupled with the 70 foot wide
park strip which now exists will result in a 150 foot wide buffer strip
between the condominium property and the single family lots on Lanham Lane.
The proponent's preliminary plans include a sectional view which illustrates
the relationship between the westerly condominium building, the park, and a
residence on Lanham Lane.
Recommendation
In our opinion, the proponent's condominium project at Dewey Hill Road and
Cahill Road is a premier example of multiple residential housing compatibly
located in a low density single family setting. The preliminary plans submitted
for Lewis Ridge indicate a development which appears to closely parallel the
quality of Dewey Hill Condominiums. We believe that the style, mass, heiaht,
and density of this development is appropriate and that the project will be an
asset to the neighborhood and city.
It is difficult, however, for us to ignore the issue of the park /open space
buffer strip on the west side of the property. The location and general size
of this strip originated with the Southwest Edina Plan more than ten years
ago and remained a feature of the Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1981. As
noted earlier, the City Council re- affirmed the importance of this buffer during
its review of the Lanvesco project five years ago.
The exact dimensions and size of this buffer must be determined on the basis of
the type of development, its relationship to surrounding land uses, and the
reasonableness of the dedication relative to the needs of the public and the
developer.
In Staff's opinion, the park /open space buffer as proposed is just too narrow.
At the same time, we believe that the dedication of the area bounded on the east
by the Amundson Avenue right of way exceeds our need and unnecessarily
compresses the developable portion of the site.
The site plan as submitted appears to have the potential to be re- arranged and
modified to provide a larger buffer. Such a re- arrangement could also reduce
the grading and alteration of the hill in the southwesterly part of the site.
We would ask that the applicant review his site plan to provide a larger park/
open space dedication. With such a modification, we would gladly recommend
rezoning approval.

City of Edina

Edina, MN 55424
Re: Lewis Ridge Addition, generally located west of Cahill Road and north of
Dewey Hill Road
Dear Mr. Hughes:
On January 21, 1983, we submitted a proposal for the development of the above captioned
parcel of land for consideration by the Community Development and Planning Commission
at their scheduled meeting which was to be held on February 2, 1983. This meeting was
cancelled because of inclement weather and rescheduled for February 9.
Earlier this week we received from you in the mail a copy of the staff report relating
to our proposal. We're appreciative of your comments, particularly insofar as they -
pertain to past policy decisions relating to the park /open space buffer strip on the
west side of the property. We have, therefore, restudied our proposal in light of
your comments in an effort to maximize this open space buffer strip.
Accordingly, we request that you accept this letter with enclosed two revised sheets
entitled Area Plan and Site Profile as a resubmission of our development plan. Please
note that the revised proposal, if approved, would result in a 270 foot wide buffer
strip, rather than 150 feet, between the condominium property and the single family
lots on Lanham Lane. All other data and detail, as initially submitted, remains sub-
stantially the same. Please call us if there is any additional information required
or if you have any questions.
On January 25, we sent a copy of our initial development plans along with an infor-
mational letter to the owners residing in the homes adjacent to the subject property.
We are today sending to each of them for review and reference a copy of this letter
along with the two revised sheets entitled Area Plan and Site Profile.
Thank you for your comments and reconsideration-of this proposal.
Yours very truly,
4GITTLE RPORATION

presented the petition for rezoning property located North of Dewey Hill Road.
North of William Wardwell Lewis Park and West of Cahill Road from R -1 Single
Family District to Planned Residential District PRD -3. He recalled that after
the Council had considered the proposal on April 17, 1978, the matter had been
referred back to the Community Development and Planning Commission and the pro-
ponents instructed to decrease the number of units and to move the buildings
Easterly in order that park land could be dedicated on the Westerly portion of
the site in accordance with the Southwest Edina Plan. Mr. Hughes advised that
the Community Development and Planning Commission had recommended approval of the
request, subject to the following conditions: 1) that Second Reading be con-
tingent upon a final subdivision of the site; 2) the proposed security gate and
private drive from Cahill Road must be reviewed thoroughly from the public
safety and access standpoint prior to final approval; and 3) Amundson Avenue
right -of -way must be vacated over the subject property to facilitate the proposed
plan. PIessrs. Stanley Taube and Ron Ericicsoii, representing Lanvr.sco, presented
a model of the proposed building, advis:in that they have now reduced the number
of units to 96 cuid that the buildings are 450 to 500 feet from the nearest homes.
They added that the parkin,; gees have been broken up and that the view from
the West is now it a minimum. Ln rospon>e to comments of idr. Donald Moshor,

Mr. Hughes reported that he had previously spoken with a few neighbors
who were unable to .attend tonight's meeting and that they were in support of
the revised proposal. One resident noted that she supported the plan, however,
she preferred one driveway entrance located in the center of the site rather
than the two proposed drives.
Mike Klein, an architect fo the Johnson Building Co., explained that
the drive- through was thought to be the more desireable situation for service
vehicles. The drive- through would handle two way traffic.
John Palmer moved for approval of the rezoning proposal subject to the
conditions stated by Staff. Dave Runyan seconded the motion. All voted aye;

III. NEW BUSINESS:
Z -83 -1 Gittleman Corporation, R -1 Single Family Residence to PRD -3
Planned Residential District. Generally located west of Cahill
Road and north of Dewey Hill Road.
S -83 -1 Lewis Ridge Condominiums
Mr. Hughes reported that the property measures 11.65 in area and is
zoned R -1 Single Family Dwelling District. To the north of the property is
Braemar Oaks Apartments, to the south is Lewis Park, to the west is 70 foot
wide park strip which separates the site from single family lots on Lanham Lane
and to the east is a vacant parcel. The Comprehensive Plan designates the
easterly two - thirds of the site for "medium density residential" which has a
density range of 6 -12 dwelling units per acre. The westerly one -third of the
site is designated for public park and open space purposes.
Mr. Hughes explained that the applicant is requesting a rezoning of
the property to PRD -3, Planned Residential District. Preliminary development
plans illustrate two condominium buildings containing 108 dwelling units in total.
Underbuilding and surface parking are provided in numbers conforming to our
requirements. The proposed buildings are three stories of living space above
the underbuilding garage.
Mr. Hughes reminded the Commission that a similar zoning request by
Lanvesco Corporation for the subject property was considered approximately
five years ago. The issues concerning this rezoning focused on the construction
of Amundson Avenue, (which was deleted from our Comprehensive Plan several
years ago based upon Council action), the dedication of the area lying west of
Amundson Avenue for park purposes, and the requested density. Although
the Council decided not to construct Amundson Avenue, it concluded that the
area lying west of Amundson should be dedicated for park purposes. Based
upon these decisions, a plan showing 96 dwelling units received preliminary
rezoning approval. Lanvesco did not pursue final approval.
Upon Staff's recommendations; the Gittleman Corporation increased their
proposed parkland dedication from 80 feet in width to 200 feet in width.

Mr. Hughes stated that in Staff's .view, Mr. Gittleman's condominium
project on Dewey Hill Road and Cahill Road is a premier example of multiple
residential housing compatibly located in a low density single family setting.
Noting that the proposed Lewis Ridge condominiums closely parallel the quality i
Dewey Hill Condominiums, Staff believes that the style, mass, height and density
of this development is appropriate and that the project will be an asset to the
neighborhood and the city. In addition, upon the submission of the revised
parkland dedication plans, Staff recommends rezoning approval, subject to
overall development plans and final subdivision of the site.
Mr. Del Johnson inquired of the status of the parcel located just
east of the subject site. Mr. Hughes reported that it is a vacant tract
approximately four acres in size, owned by Carl Hanson and Mr. Olson,
of Olson Brothers Drugs. it i.s also zoned R -1 and anticipated for the
development of apartments or a condominium project.
Mr. Melvin Gittleman, with the assistance of Mr. Harold Ness of the
Gittleman Corporation presented detailed plans of the Lewis Ridge Condominium
project. There were no questions from the Commission.
Mr. Del Johnson moved for approval of the proposed plans subject to the
Staff's conditions and Helen McClelland seconded the motion.
Mr. Ali Vahhaji, 5725 Kemrich Drive, explained that he owned the property
adjacent to the southwest corner of the site. He wanted to make certain .that the
buffer zone with applied to the properties on Lanham Lane would be extended along
his property. Although the buffer strip was narrower in this location, it was
explained that the. spacing to the condominium buildings from his property was
ample. Mr. Gittleman guaranteed that there would be ample landscaping to
protect his land.
Mr. Duane Delegard, 7209 Lanham Lane represented the Lewis Park
Neighborhood Association. At a prior meeting, the Association voted to endorse
the Council's .1978 position regarding Lanvesco's proposed development, in which
all development should be east of Amundson Road. Also, the parking areas
should not be facing Lanham Lane, that the elevation of the proposed buildings
should be lowered, that the density is too high and should remain at the eight
units per acre that was approved for Lanvesco and in closing, the parkland
dedication should be landscaped with mature trees by the developer.
Mr. Richard Westphal, 5704 Kemrich Drive, expressed his concerns
regarding the drainage. Mr. Gittleman and Mr. Fran Hoffman assured him that
the drainage system was sufficient to handle surface drainage.
David Runyan wondered why the Lewis Park Neighborhood Association
would want a park filled with mature trees. Mr. Delegard commented that the
park was actually a buffer and not used primarily for parkland.
Gordon Johnson inquired to those in favor of Del Johnson's motion.
All voted aye; the motion carried.

Council require a substantial amount of landscaping on the West side and that
there be no window or roof units for air conditioners. Mr. Winnick spoke _
particularly about neighbors' concern about density and noise pollution. an

for the drainage pond to be located on the West side of the development. Ia
response to a question of Councilman Richards, Mr. Hughes clarified that it is
proposed to vacate the Amundson Blvd. right -of -way and that land would revert
to the owners of the property to the East. Mr. Hughes also explained that the
proponents are contributing a 25% park land dedication, when only 5% is required,
and clarified that the Southwest Edina Plan is merely a guideline and that crit-
eria varies for each individual proposal. Councilman Courtney then moved

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
FEBRUARY 2, 1983
Z -82 -5 Johnson Building Company. R -1 Single Family Dwelling to PRD -2,
Planned Residential District, Generally located 4600 France Avenue.
Refer to: Attached graphic and September 1, and December 1, 1982, Staff Reports.
The Commission considered a rezoning requiest to PRD -3, Planned Residential
District for the subject property at its September 1, and December 1, 1982,
meetings. A 13 unit townhouse plan was first proposed for the property and
was followed later by a 10 unit plan. Both plans were denied by the Commission
based upon non - conformance with the Comprehensive Plan which indicated a
maximum of 7 units on the site.
The applicant has now returned with a revised townhouse plan which illustrates 7
units on the'site. The zoning classification has been changed from PRD -3 to
PRD -2 to correspond with the requested density. The preliminary design of the
units is similar to the previous submittals except that attached garages have
replaced the tuck under garages of the earlier plan. The plan appears to comply
with the requirements of the zoning ordinance with the exception of side yard
setbacks. A 35 foot setback is required by the ordinance and a 20 foot setback
is proposed rom the north an sout o nes.
Recommendation
Our past criticism concerning_ this rezoning has been directed at the requested
density. Obviously, the proponent has now returned with a plan which conforms
with our Comprehensive Plan. Vie, therefore, recommend preliminary rezoning
approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Final rezoning is conditioned on acceptable overall development plans.
2. Final replatting.
3. Grant of setback variances by the Board of Appeals and Adjustments.
Staff would support the grant of these variances.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
DECEMBER 1, 1982
Z -82 -5 Johnson Building Company. R -1 Single Family Dwelling to PRD -3
Planned Residential District, Generally located 4600 France Avenue.
REFER TO: Attached preliminary development plan and September 1, 1982,
Staff Report.
The Commission considered a rezoning request to PRD -3 for the subject property
on September 1, 1982. At that time, the proponent requested approval of a 13
unit townhouse development for the site. The Commission recommended denial
of the plan based upon its proposed density of about 11.5 units per acre. The
property is designated by the Comprehensive Plan as "low density attached
residential" which allows a maximum density of six units per acre.
The City Council considered the rezoning at its October 4, 1982, meeting.
The Council agreed with the Commission's recommendation and advised the
proponent that, if he wished, he could present a revised plan to the Commission
which conformed with the Comprehensive Plan. The Council thereupon continued
the request indefinitely.
The proponent has now returned with a plan illustrating a ten unit townhouse
plan for the site. This plan is very similar to the prior submittal in terms
of the style of development, access, and parking. The proposed density equates
to about nine units per acre.
RECOMMENDATION
In our view, the proposed plus continues to exhibit the same density concerns
as the prior plan. Vie would direct your attention to the September 1, 1982,
staff report for a more complete discussion of these density issues. In short,
Staff cannot support a plan that exceeds seven units on the site. We, therefore,
recommend denial of the request based upon non - conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
SEPTEMBER 1, 1982
Z -82 -5 Johnson Building Company. R -1 Single Family Dwelling to
PRD -3 Planned Residential District, Generally located 4600 France Avenue
REFER TO: Attached preliminary development plan and survey.
The subject property measures 1.14acres in area and is zoned R -1 Single Family
Dwelling District. The property is improved with a single family dwelling and
various accessory buildings. The property is quite level and rather heavily
vegetated. A masonary wall extends along the east, south, and west sides of
the property.
Immediately south of the property are two relatively new two family dwellings.
To the west are single family dwellings which front on Meadow Road. To the
north are three single family dwellings and to the north of these dwellings are
two single family homes which were rezoned several years ago for office uses.
North of these homes is a service station.
The proponent is requesting a rezoning to PRD -3 Planned Residential District.
A preliminary plan has been submitted which illustrates a thirteen unit townhouse
development for the property. Access to the project would be by way of a
private drive on the northerly portion �of the site. Although elevation drawings
have not been submitted, (they are not required at this stage) we assume that
the units will be composed of two stories above a tuck -under garage. The plans
note 23 garage stalls and 23 exposed spaces. This appears to be a typo. We
believe 26 garage and surface stalls are proposed which conforms with the
ordinance.
In our view, the Comprehensive Plan designates this area for low density attached
residential. The proponent submits that the subject property is in fact included
in a "high density" area on the land use graphic and, thus, the requested density
is appropriate.
Recommendation
The purpose of the preliminary development plan for a PRD rezoning is to evaluate
the general style of development and its density. While we concur with the
proposed townhouse use we disagree with the proposed density.
As noted above, the proponent believes that the graphic for the land use plan
illustrates high density usage for this property. The division between high density
and low density .areas on the plan is admittedly difficult to define precisely with
reference to this property. It must be stressed, however, that the land use map
is not a "zoning map ". Its purpose is to illustrate the preferred relationship of
— land uses, not to impart a rezoning. It's for this reason that property lines are
not illustrated and streets, etc. are schematically shown.
Community Development and Planning Commission
September 1, 1982, Staff Report
Page two
We believe that it is appropriate to consult the• text of the Plan to ascertain
the preferred use of this property. The Plan states the following policies
concerning residential uses in the 44th and France area:
- Encourage redevelopment of obsolete or vacant commercial properties
and service station sites on the periphery of 44th and France for
multiple residential housing.
- Allow redevelopment or retro fitting of existing dwellings fronting on
France Avenue -for low density attached residential uses.
The general policies of the Plan likewise advocate higher density housing for
obsolete commercial uses.
In our view, therefore, the Plan intends that sites such as the subject property
should be used for low density attached residential 0-6 units per acre. Therefore,
the property should be developed with approximately seven units rather than
thirteen.
The proponents note that the two family dwellings to the south maintain a higher
density than six units per acre. This is true. These dwellings equate to
approximately 9.5 units per acre. These units, however, were constructed upon
two pre- existing, legally established lots. The decision was made that each
should be developed with a double bungalow rather than a single family dwelling.
This resulted in an R -2 density which was somewhat higher than normally
expected. More importantly, the R -2 rezoning was approved prior to preparation
of the Comprehensive Plan. There was not an earlier land use plan in effect for
this area when the R -2 zoning was granted.
Based upon the above analysis, we recommend denial of the request based upon
non - conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff 'would generally support
a rezoning to PRD -2 rather than PRD -3.

FEBRUARY 2, 1983
Amendment of Zoning Ordinance to Allow Aerobic Dance Studios
in the Office Building District and Planned Office District
Refer to: Attached letter
The proponent requests that we amend our Zoning Ordinance to permit her
"exercise fitness studio" in the Office Building District. The attached
letter describes the business and its proposed location.
In 1980 the Zoning Ordinance was amended to permit aerobic dance studios in
the C -1 Commerical District and the Planned Industrial District. With these
amendments the Office Building District essentially became the only non-
residential district in which aerobic dance studios were not specifically
allowed.
Recommendation
In light of the above referenced amendments to the C -1 and PID sections,
we can see no reason why aerobic dance studios should not likewise be
allowed in the Office Building District. This use would not be substantially
different than "handball courts" which are presently allowed in the Office
Building District. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the following
amendment.

located on 76th and York Avenue.
'he exercises are choreographed to music and the classes
are led '�y instructors. In this type of exercise program it
is considered free -style and therefore'no heavy machinery or
equipment is used. The hours of the studio will be from 8:00
am., to 7 :00 pm. .Monday through Friday with a few classes to
be held on Saturdays. The highest amount of traffic flow
through the studio will bee after 5 :00 pm. in which the work -
inn people would attend.
The building that I am interested in is on 76th and York.
It is my understanding that this particular building is in an
area zoned :; "O1- office building.
In the course of my research, I am a-,are of the existing

DATE: February 24, 1983
TO: Kenneth Rosland
FROM: David Velde, Linda; Bjerke
SUBJECT: Public Health Nursing Contract - 1983
Information
Linda Bjerke, Mark Bernhardson and I have met with both the
Metropolitan Visiting Nurse Association (MYNA) and Bloomington Public
Health Nursing Services to negotiate on a public health nursing contract.
The meeting with MVNA helped clarify the maximum dollar contract
cost. They have agreed to set a maximum cost of $80,816 and an anticipated
cost of $77,195 based on previous usage which is not expected to decline
significantly. (The contract would be prorated for the remainder of 1983
starting at the date of conversion should we change.) During the negotiations
with MYNA their Executive Director, David Lurie, who also happens to be
Commissioner of Health for the City of Minneapolis, indicated their merger
with the Suburban attempts to . incorporate the strengths of both MVNA
and Suburban. It was learned, also, that individuals seeking diagnotic
assistance for selected ailments would need to go to' downtown Minneapolis,
(Minneapolis Chest Clinic and the Red Door) for appointments . where at
present they go to the Bloomington Clinic. Their other clinic sites would
be in St. Louis Park and Hopkins. For the Seniors' Clinics which, Bloomington
currently provides, MVNA indicated that they have talked with Methodist
Hospital, who would be willing at this present time to provide screening
services to the seniors at no additional charge to the City. Bloomington
Public Health Nursing Serfice ( BPHNS) after compilation of their end of year
records, were able to reassess the price that they formulated in October.
Because the billing collections in Edina were better in 1982 than in 1981
and Edina's relative share of service utilization was down slightly for 1982,
BPHNS was able to reduce its contract proposal to $78,700 for 1983 in Edina.
This would be a flat rate, minimum /maximum contract price to Edina for 1983.
Both agencies are willing to enter into contracts for two years or longer with
a five percent inflationary clause and a baseline cost tied to service utilization.
This can be explored in greater depth if the Council so desires.
Recommendation
In discussing the proposals, we have arrived at the recommendation that the
-
contract e -away ed to - Bloom r ington fo one year at $78, 700.
We base this recommendation realizing that the dollar amounts are essentially
comparable and disruption for the present clients would be minimal. The Bloomington
clinic is relatively close to Edina and most of the activities take place at the clinic
�y Public Health Nursing Contract - 1983
Page two
or at a location nearby. MVNA will have clinics in St. Louis Park,
Hopkins and two locations in downtown Minneapolis. Both agencies
are very reputable and have well qualified staff. This recommendation
would also reaffirm the position taken by the Edina Health Advisory
Committee stating that we should. defer awarding a bid to MVNA until
after at least one year of experience in their expanded service area.
(These negotiations have not been reviewed by the Health Advisory
Board as only two members remain with the Council needing to appoint
the balance of the Board.) It is felt that Bloomington has done an
excellent job in their service delivery and given the competitive prices,
the City of Edina should continue with them at this time.

VIA: Kenneth Rosland, City Manager
SUBJECT: 50th Street Improvement - Report No. 1
The Engineering Department is proposing that we conduct a public hearing on
improving West 50th Street between Halifax Avenue and Highway 100. Prior to
conducting a public hearing, we wish to explain some of the procedural
problems we will have with the use of Municipal State Aid Funds.
West 50th Street has an average daily traffic of 15,000 + vehicles per day.
To use Municipal State Funds on an improvement project on West 50th Street
without a variance, a 52 foot width would be required, shown by asterik on
Attachment I. The variance procedure is listed on Attachment II. Attachments
III and IV show typical cross - section of the existing street.
The Engineering Department would recommend that the City seek a variance to
the 52 foot width requirement. The 52 foot width requirement additionally
assumes No Parking Any Time restrictions on the street.
The possible alternate widths that we would suggest are as follows:
1. The City seek a four foot variance on the Wooddale to Highway 100
segment. This would result in a 48 foot width with 4 -11 foot lanes and
2 foot gutter sections on each side.
2. The City seek a 8 foot variance for the Wooddale to Halifax segment.
This would result in a 44 foot section with 4 -10 foot lanes with 2 foot
gutter sections on each side. The resulting width would require removal
of the boulevard section on one side. We would suggest the north side
due to existing conditions on that boulevard.
Page II
50th Street Improvement - Report No. 1
We have approached the State Aid personnel at the Minnesota Department of
Transportation with this suggested width variance and it appears that the
request might receive favorable action considering past board actions.
The other alternatives to this proposal would be to conduct a State Aid
project only on the segment west of Wooddale to Highway 100 and conduct an
overlay project on the Wooddale to Halifax Avenue segment without State Aid.
i
An overlay would only last 5 to 10 years maximum as the existing overlay
(8 years old) demonstrates.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 24, 1983
TO: Members of the Edina Task Force II
FROM: Richard Neuner
RE: List of Priorities and Suggestions for Planning
.In preparation for next Thursday's meeting, I want to make sure
that each of you has a list of our "top nine" priorities., taken
the liberty of "climpitizing" them into three catagories. This
certainly is not the only way we can organize these, but it is a way
to start thinking about possible steering committees.
PARENT AND FAMILY EFFORTS
33. Develop a more creative and effective way of reachinq
out to troubled families.
7. Develop programs that emphasize the involvement of
entire.families as opposed to separating the family
unit.
40. Develop a family communication network with guide
lines for parents in preventing problems and increase
efforts to make parents more accountable for their
role in prevention.
PROGRAMS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
35. Increase efforts to develop positive -peer pressure
away from inappropriate drug use, including peer
leadership programs and adolescent involvement in
volunteer activities.
21. Take steps to make young people more accountable for
- the climate of the - school . -- - -
29. Develop.a full semester course on chemical health for
students.
8. Development of a teen center at the community center.
A Project of the Minnesota institute
Funding Provided by the State Chemical Dependency Program Division
r
a A'
OTHER AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY
45. Efforts to clarify and communicate social norms
regarding chemical use in the community, including
"counter advertising" campaigns with preventive
messages about chemical health.
5. Provide training for teachers on identifying and
responding to chemical use problems, including a
perspective on the role of teachers in enforcement.
These are the areas that we'll be focusing on in our planning for
the next couple of weeks. Some of these are already specific (i.e.
establishing a teen center) and can be made into recommendations
rather easily. Others need to be clarified and thought out in more
detail. The process for doing that is generally as follows:
a) Decide on the goal (i.e. what do you want to exist as a.
result of your efforts ?)
b) Set milestones (i.e., list some stages along the way that
will tell you you are getting there)
c) Explain methods (i.e. describe how you will get there in
terms of tasks or activities)
d) Set time lines (i.e. when should it start, when should
certain parts be completed, when should the goal be reached ?)
e) Who's responsible (i.e. who will play what role in making
sure the goal is reached ?)
Regardless of how carefully we plan, a lot of adjustments will have
to be made once the work on the recommendations actually begins. For
that reason, the most important tasks we have left are to:
Clarify each of our "top nine" at least to tAe point where they
are in the form of specific recommendations.
Make sure that there are organized steering committees who can
oversee the ongoing development of these projects.
At next Thursday's meeting, I'd like to see if we can get some of
the "fuzzier" priorities into the form of recommendations. We'll
use the remaining time, then, to try to do some more specific .
planning under each of the projects and to establish our steering
committees.
See you Thursday

1,1embers of the Edina City Council:
One of the major goals of Edina Expo•'83 is to
raise the level of awareness in the community of
the resource that we now have in the Edina
Community Center, and to enable people to identify
with the Center and its location.
'Jhat is clearly lacking is a major identifying
sign. ror the purpose of Expo 'n3, we would like
to use the Naegle mobile sign board at the Edina
Community Center for one week prior to the Expo
weekend, April 15 -16, 1983. The use of the sign
would help achieve the Expo goal, and would also
help avoid confusion on the part of those who wish
to attend the event.
To enable us to do this, we respectfully
that the City Council adopt a resolution
this special use. The resolution could,
preclude the use of the sign for any act
lesser magnitude, since Expo is a unique
community event including over 150 city,
civic, business and church groups.

Dear Dick:
At its meeting Monday evening, the City Council officially turned down
your request for the large portable sign for Expo '83, which does not
meet requirements of the City ordinance. However, they did authorize
the City to paint 3 or 4 signs to place at locations that would attract
a great deal of attention from motorists.
The locations would be 70th and Cahill, the present Edina High School,
the corner of 66th and Valley View (South bound) and if you wish, one in
front of the Community Center.
Also out of this discussion at Council came the thought of providing an
additional sign or two such as the one in front of City Hall to advertise
the various functions that the City and the School District support.
Although we did have to turn your request down, I am sure that the good
that has come from this will be of value to the whole community.

NOTES
A. All property tax figures do not take into account net total tax increase (income,
sales, property) after property tax increase is offset against income taxes,
both state and federal (as much as 50 %) nor does it net out any "circuit breaker"
credits.
B. This does not account for any reduction in sales or income tax rates which may
result from either program elimination (which, given the fact that the elimination
would be in an effort to make up a currently anticipated dificit, it is doubtful
there would be a current reduction in income or sales tax rates - although there
might be in the future when the economy improves and these programs are not
reinstated.)
