MEMORANDUI -I
TO: Kenneth Rosland, City Manager
FROM: Gordon Hughes, City Planner
SUBJECT: Jackson Variance Appeal, 5660 Woodcrest Drive
DATE: February 2, 1979
The subject appeal was considered by the Council on January 8, 1979•
At that time, the Council directed staff to review the lot coverages
of existing dwellings in the vicinity of the Jackson home. Attached
is a summary of these lot coverages which were computed from surveys
submitted to the building department at the time of construction of
the dwellings.
As shown on this summary, the average lot coverage in this area is
23.55`• The Jackson home presently has a lot coverage of 27.98
which is similar to four other surrounding dwellings. The proposed
addition to the Jackson home would result in a 30.760 lot coverage
which is approximately 7% greater than the average and 21%' greater
than the dwelling at 5636 Woodcrest Drive which presently enjoys
the highest lot coverage in the area.
As mentioned previously, these figures were computed from building
department surveys. On January 8, 1979, it was alleged that some
dwellings in this area have been enlarged without building permits.
Such illegal additions would not be reflected on the attached summary.

HEARINGS:
B -78 -41 KMSP Television. 6975 York Avenue'South. Part of
Tract M, Registered L: and Survey`No. 629.
\ REQUEST: 100 foot antenna tower height variance..
(to permit'a :.:150 foot high antenna tower)
Harold Sand said. the KMSP, property on the northeast'corner of
70th Street and .York Avenue South presently has a fifty foot.truncated antenna
tower-with several microwave antennas on top of -that tower, and were requesting
to extend the height of their antenna to 150 feet which would require a 100 foot
antenna tower height variance. He continued '.that the facilities, built'in 1972,
are on property zoned C -3, Commercial District. Presently using microwave trans -
mission from Edina to the Foshay Tower .whi'ch:is relayed 'to Shoreview, Mr. Sand
explained the two leg path requiring two separate frequencies would need to be
replaced because of construction of the Pillsbury Building..downtown. He added
the proponents had indicated that programming changes and competitive needs
dictate that they have access to a receiving station for signals relayed from.a
satellite; but since there is not room for this:type of facility in Edina, an
additional microwave connection is needed to,the Shoreview.antenna. Mr. Sand
continued the'proponents need direct, line -of -sight microwave transmission from
Edina to Shoreview because additional microwave channels are not available to
permit a bend in the signal, and additional height is necessary to clear ground,
obstructions between Edina and Shoreview such as the Washburn Water Tower.
Mr. Sand suggested that . there -are several .alternatives that
should be investigated that would eliminate.the n'eed''for the variance. He noted
Board of Appeals and Adjustments
November 16, .1978
Page 2.
that there are many tall buildings in the area that may be suitable for mounting .
the microwave equipment. He indicated the staff felt that the hardships claimed
were self - imposed or simply inconvenient, and there had -been no evidence presented
that there were circumstances.that reduced,or eliminated public detriment in this
situation. Staff maintained that there were no similar substantial property rights
possessed.by others in the vicinity to preserve, but that the request might estab-
lish an undesirable precedent for other variance requests. Therefore, staff
recommended denial of the variance request.
The proponents present were Donald Swartz, President of United
Television; Ron King, the Station Manager; Glen Smith, Director of Engineering;
Elmer Johnson, Transmitter Supervisor at the Shoreview Tower site; and Dan Reader,
an Engineering Consultant.
Mr. Swartz began by pointing out the tower was not abutting any
residential district and was located down in a basin area. He.further stated the
technology of receiving and. transmitting television signals had changed consider-
ably in the seven.years. they have been located at their Edina site. Mr. Swartz
said that being cognizant that the Pillsbury Building was going up, KMSP had done
several engineering studies. They found the staff alternatives ambiguous and not
feasible. Mr. Swartz explained KMSP was attempting to install an earth.satellite
station to provide the Twin Cities area with direct satellite reception.
Mr. Runyan clarified that a tower of that height is not allowed
so KMSP is looking for a variance. He wondered if there were alternatives that
would allow KMSP to achieve their desired end without needing a variance.
Mr. Glen Smith, Director of Engineering, stated they first
checked out telephone lines' to several different buildings, most of which objected
to the antennas on their buildings.
To Mr. Shaw's question of why KMSP could not microwave from
their Southdale studio over to the IDS and then'relay out to their Shoreview Tower,
Mr. Smith replied the IDS tower would not allow any more towers on top of their
building, but even if they did .there would be a problem with the window washer.
He explained the window washer would break the signals which would interrupt
transmission of programming.
Mr. Smith also stated most tall buildings objected to the
additional height of a tower on top of their buildings. Further, most buildings
like the one at 6400 Barrie Road would allow one but not the three that KMSP
found necessary,.an eight foot in diameter tower and 2 six foot in diameter towers.
Point of France, which Mr. Smith indicated was also checked out, is partially
blocked by the Fairview Hospital. The Yorktown Continental Apartments refused
to "put additional towers on their building.
Mr. Dan Reader, an engineering consultant for KMSP, stated the
most preferable linkage that could be established is a direct one. He continued
that anything that deviates from a direct linkage involves some compromise to
Board of Appeals and Adjustments
November 16, 1978

the broadcast, whether that be with passive repeaters or dual hop microwaves.,
KMSP indicated they need not only the requirements for the studio transmitter
link but the - requirements that will be. imposed when they want to install a
satellite earth station. Mr. Reader explained the satellite earth station
would involve new demands on the present system. He.clarified when multi -hop
microwave systems are used instead of single hop microwave systems there is
compromise; plus there is the additional problem that the frequency spectrum
is over - burdened already in that all the channels available are already in use
and assigned to other broadcasters. .
In this particular instance Mr. Reader noted that most of the
microwave systems „are being used-at a telefarm facility. That, he.explained,
means the receiving antennas for those channels are on towers pointed roughly
south in the same direction KMSP intends to broadcast to their Shoreview tower.
He stated that should KMSP go to the two -hop system, they, are -,being_ called upon
to use frequencies that are not available. Further, he felt it would be extremely
unlikely that it would be possible to coordinate simultaneous use of those
frequencies with other broadcasters.
Mr. Shaw asked how high the tower at Shoreview is. Mr. Smith
replied,it was ,1398 feet: Mr. Reader paraphrased that to do a two- hop,system
more frequencies_ would be required, and it is not apparent, at present, where
those frequencies can come from. Mr.-Runyan wondered if he was actually saying
.a straight linkage system was the best solution. Mr. Reader affirmed that was
the most appropriate system.
Mr. Shaw.asked about the. possible use of the.Edina water tower.
Mr. Sand .indicated the Edina water towers stood over 200 feet in height. Mr.
Shaw felt the City would lease a'small portion of the Edina water ;tower. Mr.
Reader responded that the problem, however, exists that. -a two =hop system would
still be-.necessary. A? passive repeater for this purpose, he „cited, would have
to be extremely close and near the studio to do the job.
Mr. Reader made a quick calculation on the required dimensions
for a"passive repeater to the apartment building at 6400 Barrie which is .75
miles away from the transmit point, and,in order to secure with a passive repeater
the same performance of a direct shot, it would have to be forty feet by 100
feet, long.
Mr. Shaw asked why an antenna could not be put on the top of a
200 plus foot'Edina water tower. ” " "Mr. Shaw continued that the frequency could be
brought back in by wire. Mr. Smith. wondered if there would be room for the
equipment - the microwave transmitters and receivers.
Mr. Reader asked if the spirit of the ordinance was predominantely
protective in nature or aesthetic. Mr. Shaw replied it was a combination of both.
Mr. Reader felt it hard to justify from. an aesthetic standpoint erecting,- a'' tall
structure on another building.

.Mr. Shaw stated he would find the antennas equally objection-
able on their own tower as the water tower. Mr. Reader felt that because they
already.have a 50 foot tower with antennas on it, the only difference.would be
a slightly slimmer extension of the present tower. Mr. Shaw answered that he
would rather see -KMSP utilize an already existing structure of 200 feet. Mr.
Runyan questioned why the reflectors could not be put on top of an already
existing tall structure without going to something very large. Mr. Smith replied
that if KMSP put their antennas on an apartment, a passive repeater would have
to be used. Mr. Runyan asked if.Mr. Smith was saying it would not be possible
to go from their studio to the water tower to Shoreview. Mr. Smith replied they
could go from the water tower to Shoreview.
Mr. Shaw asked -if they could then go from the water tower by
wire to their studio rather than by further microwave reflection. Mr. Reader
replied that it was not clear whether -the video facilities would be available .
and what the cost factor would be. Mr. Runyan stated he felt that KMSP should
attempt to utilize an already existing object that is already high .rather than
to extend another high object up into the sky.
Mr. Ron King pointed out that there was a reliance factor that
also must be considered aside from the engineering feasibility that hasn't been
positively ascertained. Mr. Donald Swartz added the casualty factor of another
linkage should also be considered, and KMSP felt they could best serve the public
by not having to rely on another linkage. Mr. Shaw.pointed out that in five
years additional buildings could be built which would block the direct linkage
they were proposing, and then KMSP would be back for additional height variances.
He further stated he did not feel that all of the alternatives had been sufficient-
ly explored by KMSP with the staff and the.City Engineer..
Mr. Glen Smith replied that there was no question that having.
the tower on the site would be more preferable qualitatively. He said there
was just no way the signal could be processed more often.and get as good a
results as if it was done in'one hop. Mr. Shaw asked how the signal was trans -
mitted from the paravella antenna down into the studio. Mr. Smith replied a
wave.guild was used. He added that if the signal came to the water tower it
would have to be an entirely different way of processing the signal and would
involve some degredation of the signal.
Mr. Bill Shaw clarified that even if Pillsbury was not building
the additional stories KMSP would still want the variance for the satellite earth
station. Mr. King confirmed that was correct.
Mr. Donald Swartz stated he felt at.the.time the ordinance was
written many years ago, they did not anticipate a television.station in Edina
with its antennas. He continued that the ordinance was probably.basically.aimed
at construction companies or others who might use a short wave radio. Mr. Shaw
explained that the C -3 ordinance was designed for commercial development, and a
50 foot height limitation is placed on all, buildings zoned C -3. Mr. Swartz
noted he. was referring to:.the tower ordinance..

Mr. Runyan questioned what exactly was meant by the statement
"detriment to the public' because. the tower would be detrimental only in the
visual sense. Mr. Sand explained that -,the City is granted the authority to
adopt ordinances that will promote or protect the public health, welfare and
well -being ofcitizens and property owners.. Mr. Sand continued to suggest that
if the Board was so inclined perhaps an ammendment to the ordinance was more
appropriate than a variance.
Mr. Shaw noted that the H.R.A. is currently working on the
development of southeast Edina, and he felt this tower would not fit into their
plan. Mr. Donald Swartz asked the Board to keep in mind that KMSP is attempting
to serve the public as-a broadcaster. He added that technology is changing and
to give the public the best possible service in reception, color, and audio a
straight link to Shoreview would be the best solution. Mr. Swartz felt that
the public interest should override the.aesthetic considerations. Mr. Shaw
reminded the proponents that the Board-represents the City of Edina and is
charged with the safety, health,-visual and every other aspect with respect to
the.community.
Mr. Runyan asked what time frame KMSP,was working under. Mr.
Donald Schmidt replied'they had hoped to have: -an earth station in March or early
spring.
Mr. Runyan suggested that the matter be held over to give the
proponents a.. chance to check more thoroughly into the alternatives available to
them. Mr. Shaw added that he would like to see it continued also but if there
are no other viable alternatives Mr. Shaw felt the City Council should examine
the .. terms of the ordinance to see if they felt a revision.,. was in order.
Mr. Swartz stated KMSP would be more than happy to consider the
alternatives and- present;,their findings at the next meeting. With that,Mr.. Clark
Miller moved the .KMSP.variance request be continued to, the December 21, 1978
meeting. Mr. Dave Runyan seconded the motion. All voted aye; the motion carried.

Tracts R, S, T, U. Registered Land Survey No. 1129.
REQUEST: 1 story building height variance to'
permit a 4 story. building.
25 foot side yard variance
Mr. Sand noted that this variance request is being done in
conjunction with a rezoning, replatting, and a development plan review for all
of the vacant land south of West 76th Street, west of France Avenue, and east
of Parklawn Avenue. He continued that the majority of the site is currently
zoned Planned Industrial District and a small portion on the north side is
proposed to be rezoned from R-1,-Single Family to PID, Planned Industrial District.
Preliminary approval, he noted, has.been recommended by the Edina Community
Development and Planning Commission, and the City Council will review the request
on November 20, 1978.
While reviewing the plans with the Board, Mr. Sand explained
that the immediate goal of the development was to construct a 225,000 square foot
office building for National Car Rental Corporation on the southerly portion of
the site that was proposed to be a four story structure with an average height
of 50 feet, 8 inches. He-continued that the setback from the northerly property
line is 51 feet, and since the PID zone permits a maximum height of three stories.
and requires an interior side yard of 1.5 times the average height of the
building, a one story building height variance is requested; because a 76 foot
side yard is required, a 25 foot side. .yard variance was requested.
Mr. Sand also noted the subject property is at a relatively low
elevation, and extensive areas of the site would require soil correction. How-
ever, Mr. Sand added.that the proposed structure conforms in all other respects
to the PID requirements,.and is adjacent to the Mann France Avenue Theater in
Bloomington which is expected to be developed commercially in the near future.
Mr. Sand stated the staff had been working closely with
Rauenhorst concerning the traffic,generation,.the intensity of the development,
and traffic circulation patterns on the site. Mr. Sand continued that the
developer had responded to these - concerns in a very positive manner- with,,a high
quality planned development. The additional height requested, he added, was
justified by the difficult soil conditions; because of the topography and the
fact that four story buildings are permitted and exist in office zones adjacent
to France Avenue, the additional height would not appear excessive. The staff
felt that the side yard setback variance was logical in connection with the height.
variance. In addition, the staff did not believe an interior side yard should
be required to be larger than the required street setbacks. Mr. Sand also
mentioned that -the height variance does not permit increased intensity with the
proposed design because of the excess green area and the stepped back design.
Therefore, Mr. Sand.recommended approval of the variance based upon the reasons
stated in the staff report, and contingent upon the platting, zoning and plan
review approval by the City Council; the plans as presented to staff;'and the
written agreement that the proposed structure'represents:full development of the
site pursuant to the development.plans.

Mr. Bob Worthington, the proponent, explained the,plans to the
Board, and revealed that the previous night the Board of Managers of-the Nine
Mile Creek Watershed had approved their. :grading and..excavation plans. Mr. -Shaw
asked:if Rauenhorst objected to any of-the-contingencies suggested by the'staff.
Mr. Worthington replied they had no objections and explained they are.attempting
to put this development in the Planned Industrial zone because of. the concern
the City had previously expressed when Rauenhorst proposed a restaurant cluster
for the site north of West 76th Street.
Mr. Dave Runyan moved the Board approve the variance of height
and setback as stated in the staff report with the staff recommendations of
contingencies: Mr. Clark Miller seconded the motion. All voted aye; the motion

CB- 78-60' William and Bernice Jackson. 5660 Woodcrest. Drive.
Lot 16, Block 3, Colonial Grove Sixth Addition.
REQUEST: 6.1 percent lot coverage variance
(320 square foot addition),
Mr. Sand noted the property located at 5660 Woodcrest Drive
has a small,,pond behind the house. He also explained there is an existing deck
in the rear of the house which.was the subject of a side yard setback variance
in 1975 to allow the construction on the south and east.sides of the dwelling.
He continued that the proponents are now proposing to extend the deck across the
majority of the width of the dwelling with a 9 X.32 foot addition, and a screened
porch at the north end of the deck. Mr. Sand explained the present dry lot,area
is 10,892 square feet,. and the proposed addition would increase the lot coverage
to 3,384 square feet or 31.1 percent. The ordinance requires a maximum 25
percent coverage, he added, therefore, a 6.1 percent variance was.,requested.
Chairman:Shaw asked Mr. Sand about the measure of the dry lot
area. Mrs. Jackson noted they owned 6,000 square feet of the pond also. Mr.
Shaw asked if the lot area was measured by the dry land only. Mr. Sand replied
the ordinance was not specific on that point- but that had been the interpretation
in the past because the concept of lot coverage is to relate the dwelling size.to
the land area that is available.
Mr. Runyan also noted'that the deck would not be a solid
building but only seven or eight posts would actually hit the ground. Mr. Sand
stated staff had received a letter from William and Bernice Hirsch, the
adjacent property owners to the northwest which essentially objected to the
granting of the variance; they also submitted photographs of the.view from their
window. He revealed that the proponent's home was built after the Hirsch dwelling.
Mr. Runyan stated the deck addition would undoubtedly reduce part of the Hirsch'
view of the. pond.
Mr. Hirsch spoke that in 1969 they had an architect specially
design their home with the family room to the back to take full advantage of the=

view of the pond. He added that if a screen porch was allowed on the deck what
would stop it from becoming a permanent glass enclosed porch. Mt. Hirsch also
felt the addition would detract from the value of his property.
Mrs. Jackson said that their first consideration in consulting
their architect was that they would not block off the Hirsch' view. Mrs. Hirsch
replied that unfortunately the view would be hampered.
Mr. and Mrs. Crane, neighbors from across the pond, were also
present to view the Jackson plans. Mr. Sand noted the Jacksons would match the
roof pitch, the siding, and overhang. Mr. Crane commented that most of the
property owners bought property around the pond to take advantage of the natural
beauty, and he was concerned that an additional structure would take away some
of the green space.
Mr. Shaw explained:to Mrs. Jackson that the Board usually insists
on written consent of the neighboring property owners because they also consider
that the variance will not do the adjacent owners any harm. Mr. Shaw continued
to recommend to the Board that the Jackson request be denied because of the
objections by surrounding property owners. Also he felt the request had the
elements of being.a detriment to the community because the Board could not be
certain the Jacksons would own the same piece of property for the rest of time,
and if the variance was granted there was nothing to prevent either the Jacksons
or subsequent owners from building a permanent.structure from ground up in that
same corner of the property.
Mr. Runyan commented that when a variance does not bother the
people around the house, it is easier to be objective and.grant the variance than
when the surrounding neighbors.object. He continued that.the Board would.not
override their objections to grant the variance.
Mr. Clark Miller moved denial of the variance. Mr. David
Runyan seconded the motion. All.voted. aye; the variance request was denied.
IV. Next Meeting Date: December 21, .1978, at,5:30 p.m.

Mr. Clark Miller moved the November 16, 1978 meeting of the
Board.of'Appeals and Adjustments be adjourned. Mr. Runyan seconded the motion.

STAFF REPORT
November 9, 1978
B -78 -60 William and Bernice Jackson. .5660 Woodcrest Drive.
Lot 16, Block 3, Colonial Grove Sixth Addition.
REQUEST: 6.1 percent lot c=overage-varra
(320 square foot addition)
REFER TO: attached survey, drawing, and air photo
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson received a side yard setback variance in 1975 to allow
the construction of a deck on the south and east sides of the dwelling. They
are now proposing to extend the deck across the majority of the width of the
dwelling with a I 10 X 32 foot addition. The north end of the deck would have
a screen porch. The lot area is 10,892 square feet. The proposed addition
increases the lot coverage to 3,384 square feet or 31.1 percent. The ordinance
requires a maximum 25 percent coverage; therefore, a 6.1 percent variance is
requested.
The proponents have in that the proposed lot coverage is.similar.to
other dwellings in the vicinity, and that the deck should not interfere or
harm_any other property in the vicinity.
The staff has received a question from the adjacent neighbor on the north who
--has indicated they will attend the meeting or send a letter stating their views..
Recommendation:
The available information indicates that the. addition will not be noticeably
out of character with surrounding dwellings ecause several of the dwellings
are constructed with similar lot coverage. In addition, the staff believes
there are no adverse impacts on adjacent dwellings. However, we are.somewhat
.concerned about the,lack of drawings to fully explain the proposed addition.
_The construction of the screen porch and the - connection of the proposed roof
are in question.
The staff would recommend that the proponent provide additional drawings that
detail the construction of the addition. This- -could be provided prior to the
issuance of the variance or the variance could be issued .subject to the staff
-approval of the design.

Attention: City Clerk and Edina City Council
Re: B -78 -60 Request for Lot
Coverage Variance ;Under
Ordinance #811
Dear City Clerk and Council Members:
The undersigned, William E. and Bernice E. Jackson, on November 17
submitted a request for an appeal from the negative decision by the
Edina Board of Appeals on the above petition for a variance. We
respectfully submit this letter as a supplement to that appeal and
ask for re- hearing for the reasons outlined in the following pars-
graphs.
At the time of the original hearing -- November 16 ---at which time Mrs.
Jackson appeared, we had not become familiar with Ordinance 117811 and
subsequent amendments to and /or modifications thereof. Neither were
we aware of the objections of the. two neighbors who appeared at the
meeting.
Since that time we have familiarized ourselves with said ordinance and
believe that it has been interpreted and applied in a relatively unique
and constrained manner with regard to our original petition, especially
when compared to allowances granted other homes around the pond. Also,
we appreciate the opportunity at this time to provide the Council with
the background for our request and to respond generally to 'the objec-
tions raised by our two neighbors.
Under Ordinance 811, Section 3, subparagraph.(c) entitled Lot Coverage,
it states that "not more than 25 percent of the lot, parcel or tract .
of -land shall be covered by structures in an.R -1 zone."
This requirement does not define what is meant by the phrase "lot,
parcel or tract of land." We understand further that no legal opinion
or definition has been obtained as to the precise meaning of this
phrase nor as to how it should be interpreted and /or applied with
regard to the development of residential areas, and the protection
and preservation of natural amenities associated with such develop-
ments.

It is not clear whether these terms include all of the property - -land
and pond area -- contained within the boundaries as shown on the Surveyor's
Certificate dated March 9, 1971; nor is it clear whether these words _
include air rights, water and other elements contained within such
boundaries.
We do not know what the legal interpretation of "land" is nor what it
includes. However, a definition contained in the 1972 edition of
Business Law by Anderson and Kumpf (ninth edition, page 726) reads
as follows: At common law the owner of a tract is deemed to own down
to the center of the earth and up to the heavens." Under this defini-
tion it would seem that the area of our lot should include that sec-
tion on the certificate designated as the pond area.
If the full boundaries, including that section designated as pond area,
are used to determine whether the structures exceed the 25 percent
limitation, it would be found that our total property amounts to
ea
approximately 16,392 square feet, comprised of the present lot areet.
of 10,892 feet plus the pond area of approximately
Our basic house occupies 2,680 square feet for a ratio of 15.9 per-
cent. The existing deck occupies an area of 250 square feet or 1.4
percent. The proposed addition will occupy an area of 270 square
feet or 1.6 percent. Total occupied area would equal 3,200 square
feet or 18.9 percent of the total area.
We feel that the total property, including the pond area, should be
included for purposes of determining compliance with the 25 percent
lot coverage limitation. Our reason for feeling this way is that
such an interpretation would appear to be consistent with the build-
ing permits issued for at least three other homes in this Colonial
Grove development, namely the three homes located at 5610 (Lot 6),
5620 (Lot 8) and 5636 (Lot 11) Woodcrest Drive. If the pond area
sections for each of these properties are not included in the lot
coverage calculation, these homes, without including any additional
deck areas, would occupy, respectively, the following percentages of
"land" area: 32 percent, 30 percent and 31 percent. We do not feel
that it was the intent of the City to engage in spot zoning for the
homes around the pond. If this interpretation is in order, a variance
would not be necessary as our home, including additions, would be
less than 20 percent of our total property area.
Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch, our neighbors to the north, have expressed their
concern about the possible impairment of their view of the pond and
a lessening of the enjoyment of their home with a resultant dimunition
of the value thereof. We can understand and appreciate their con-
cern buL question whether the impact would be as severe as they allud-
ed in their- letter.
Edina City Clerk and City Council

They point out that their home.was specifically designed-to take full
advantage of the view of the pond. In actuality, their home has been
angled on their lot so that the full length of the back of the home
looks out on the end of the pond and into the trees. The proposed
addition to our home in no way interferes with the view.
On the side of their home there is one window which looks out on the
length of the pond. On their property, directly outside and in the
center of this one window, is a large tree! When in bloom, this tree
obscures part of the view from this window and, as it grows, the view
will shrink even more.
When we landscaped our home, we purposely omitted.landscaping that
section of our property, leaving it bare, because we knew that trees
could eventually block their view from ,this one window.
In designing the proposed addition, we again took their window into
consideration and purposely used a 2 1/2 to 3 foot setback on that
side. As can be visualized from the enclosed picture, the loss of
their view from this window would be minimal, if at all. We might
point out that while their home was specifically designed for their
full enjoyment of the view of the pond and trees, it all but fully
blocked out the view for their neighbor's home immediately to their
north. Actually, the way to have fully assured the preservation of
this one window .view would have been-the purchase of the lot itself.
Otherwise it was left to fortune as to what size, type and style of
home would be built on that side of their home.
As for possibly diminishing' the value of their home, we believe that
will not be the case. If anything, it should add both to the value
of our home, their home, and the neighborhood. We plan to have the
addition built by our original builder, Ken Durr, who enjoys an excel-
lent reputation for quality and craftsmanship. It has been designed
to blend in with the basic design of our home and is in keeping with
the character of surrounding dwellings. The architect's drawing, which
is available, provides a graphic illustration of what the addition
would look like.
As for the objections raised by Mr. and Mrs. Crane, we are perplexed
as to the basis for and justification of their concern; and would
prefer to wait for the hearing before getting into any rebuttal.
Our reason for asking for a re- hearing is because of the importance
to us of a favorable decision. Our home is most important to us --
as it is for most people. It is the focal point of our social, family,
and leisure activities. Not owning a lake home or a condominium, it
is the place we spend most of our non- working hours.
Edina City Clerk and City Council

My company recently moved its Home Office further out, and our decision
to build this addition carne only after considerable thought as to
whether or not we should continue to live in our home or move to an
apartment or condominium closer to my work (which is now more than a
50 mile -round trip commute). After considering the many pros and
cons we concluded that our present home and location meant too much
to us to make a change. Once having decided on that course of action,
we are only attempting to make our home more livable and more enjoy-
able--thus the decision to make a further not - inconsequential invest-
ment to increase its living value. At no time nor in any way do we
want to harm the area or lessen the enjoyment of our neighbors and
their homes.
We appreciate very much the Council's willingness to review our request
for an appeal. Hopefully, it can be agreed that inclusion of the pond
area, as an integral part of our property, is appropriate. This would
obviate the need for a variance. Failing that, we are hopeful that
the Council, in weighing the various factors involved, and in decid-
ing on the fairness and equity of the situation, will give approval
to our request. To do otherwise would seem inequitable and discrim-
inatory by adhering to a more straight interpretation and application
of Ordinance #811 to our case than was used in at least three other
situations.
As mentioned in the initial response from the Board of Appeals and
Adjustments, we believe that "the addition will not be noticeably out
of character with surrounding dwellings" and that "there are no adverse
impacts on adjacent dwellings." -We further feel, as mentioned above,
that a favorable decision would be consistent with exceptions granted
to several other dwellings with regard to lot-coverage requirements.
Thank you all for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
)/, �le � Z7

P.S. If at all possible, we would hope that some or all of the members
of the Council could visit with us before the hearing to get an
actual on -site understanding of the situation. We believe it
would be especially helpful in evaluating the many factors in-
volved.. We also hope to have some additional pictures to help
clarify our request. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness
and cor.s'•dera. ion.

Re: The Application of William and Bernice Jackson
for Variance of the Planning Ordinance at
5660 Woodcrest Drive.
Gentlemen:
The undersigned, William C. Hirsch, Sr. and Bernice
Hirsch are the owners of the home and property at 5664 Woodcrest
Drive, Edina. Our property is immediately to the west of the
Jackson property and will be directly affected by the variance
requested by the Jacksons. When we purchased our lot the
principal attractions to us in deciding upon this site-- for our
home were the large trees in the back of our lot and the view
of the pond in the rear of our lot. We had our home des i ned by
an architect to take u 1 advantage of this view. Our home was
designed and constructed in reliance on the building and zoning
ordinances and codes of the City of Edina and it was our contem-
plation that by reason of these building and zoning ordinances
and codes that any home that would be built to the East of our
home would not impair or interfere with our view of the pond and
the resulting enjoyment of our home and property. The variance
requested by Mr. and Mrs. Jackson will substantially interfere
with our view through our family room windows. The result, of
course, will e to su stanti.ally lessen our use and enjoyment of
our home and we feel will also - substantially diminish the value
thereof.
We feel that inasmuch as we built our home relying on
the building and zoning ordinances of the City of Edina that it
would now be manifestly unjust to allow the variance requested
by Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, and accordingly request that the variance
asked for by the Jacksons be denied.

Edina, Minnesota 55424
Attention: City Clerk and Edina City Council
Gentlemen:
After attending two meetings regarding the request by Mr. and Mrs. William
Jackson, we wish to state our position as follows:
If the Jacksons wish to extend their deck only, we would have no further
objections. However, if they wish to screen in the deck and also put a
permanent roof over this structure, we certainly would object to this.
Firstly, there is a great deal of esthetic difference between the
appearance of an open deck on the second story level of a house and one
that has the roofline extended and is enclosed as a permanent part of the
house. If any members of the council have seen the houses around the pond,
they will note that none have decks that are in any way enclosed. We
feel that this is also consistent with 99% of all the new houses being
built with decks. Therefore, we would have to question the statements in
the Jacksons' letter of November 30 where they state that this addition
would not be noticeably out of character with surrounding dwellings and
also in keeping with the character of surrounding dwellings. Following
is a copy of the paragraphs which we are questioning:
"As for possibly diminishing the value of their home, we believe that
will not be the case. If anything, it should add both to the value
of our home, their home, and the neighborhood. We plan to have the
addition built by our original builder, Ken Durr, who enjoys an
excellent reputation for quality and craftsmanship. It has been
designed to blend in with the basic design of our home and is in
keeping with the character of surrounding dwellings. The architect's
drawing, which is available, provides a graphic illustration of
what the addition would look like."
"As mentioned in the initial response from the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments, we believe that'the addition will not be noticeably
out of character with surrounding dwellings' and that 'there are
no adverse impacts on adjacent dwellings.' We further feel, as
mentioned above, that a favorable decision would be consistent with
exceptions granted to several other dwellings with regard to lot
coverage requirements."
City of Edina -2- January 31, 1979
Secondly, we are concerned that their screen porch would eventually be-
come a year round glass - enclosed sun -room, and not just a screen porch
used only in the summer months. If this petition is granted as requested,
what is to prevent all the other owners of decks from petitioning for the
same type of enclosure? We feel that the original variances were not
granted with the idea that all the decks would eventually be screened
and roofed.
We will ignore the other arguments raised in the Jackson's letter because
they are not pertinent to the main issue. In conclusion, we wish to
state that we have no objections to an extension of the deck only.
Sincerely yours,
William C. Hirsch, Sr.
Bernice G. Hirsch

Re: B -78 -60 Request for Lot
Coverage Variance Linder
Ordinance #811
Dear City Clerk and CounciL-Members:
In respect to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson's interpretation of
Ordinance #811, we offer the following comments.
We have not reviewed the whole ordinance in question, but
it seems only reasonable to us that the ordinance should be construed
to apply to the.land available for building purposes and should not
be construed to include that portion of the Jackson lot which is
beneath the pond water. A simple illustration will demonstrate' the
= - - - - -- r- idiculous result that would occur if .the Jacksons' interpretation
Js adopted. Let.us assume that 75 percent or 80 percent of the
Jackson lot was in pond area and the balance in land available for
building purposes. The Jacksons, under their interpretation, would
then be able to build on the entire piece of land not covered by
pond water. Surely,-this is not the intent of this ordinance.
The�Jacksons raise the question of three other homes in
this development that apparently have been built in such a.manner
as 'to. exceed the permissable lot coverage. We were not aware of
these variances and do not know the circumstances surrounding them.
In any event, the Jacksons argue that because other variances have
been` granted that- they -also should be-, .granted their requested vari-
ance This is in effect arguing that the prior variances_amountie
to -an amendment of Ordinance #801 and that they now have a right,, .
to build on theirlot to the same extent as the other three house
-
owners.used their lots. We do not believe this is a valid position..
We r.eco,gnize'tfiat special circumstances may occasionally= arise.which
Jds'tifiably will call for - a variance from the strict application
of building and zoning laws; however, we do not believe that this
is such a case. Each situation should be judged on its own special
merits and the council should not grant a variance to one merely
because another has asked for and received.a variance.

We have.reviewed the other matters covered in the Jacksons'
letter and feel that these materials constitute a re- hashing of
the matters that were previously considered. We stand by the posi-
tion that we took at the time of the original hearing of this matter
and respectfully request that the Jacksons' application for a vari-
ance be denied.

Attention: Florence B. Hallberg, City Clerk
Gentlemen:
This is in regard to the Public Hearing on Monday, December 18,
1978, for the Appeal by William and Bernice Jackson of the Board
of Appeals and Adjustments decision of November 16, 1978, denying
their request for a coverage variance.
Inasmuch as Mrs. Curry and I will be unable to attend the Appeal
Hearing on December 18, I am submitting this as a matter of record.
Mrs. Curry and I own the property and live directly across the pond
from the Jackson's. It appears that the party most affected by the
variance request is the adjacent property owner to the North, the
Hirsch's. Obviously whatever concerns and feelings they may have
should be given the primary consideration.
However, as a property owner directly facing the Jackson's across
the Pond, Mrs. Curry and I have no objections to the variance re-
quest.
Sincerely,
•

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
STAFF REPORT
January 31, 1979
LD -79 -2 (LaJoie) Lot Division. Lot 32, Block 1, South Harriet Park
Second Addition.
REFER TO: attached graphic
The subject property is a developed single family lot which fronts on Halifax
Avenue. The Edina Baptist Church is proposing to acquire the easterly 70
feet (approximate) of the lot for parking purposes. The Church has similarly
acquired the rear portions of several other adjoining lots in the past.
Recommendation:
Staff finds that the setback requirements for the existing dwelling will be
maintained following the division. Staff also finds that no new buildable
lot will be created as a result of the division. Therefore, staff recommends
approval of the lot division.
Staff would encourage the Church to plat their property in the future.
This advisable in that legal descriptions are becoming very cumbersome,
and therefore subject to error as a result of the acquisition of numerous
small parcels of property.

Dear Commissioner Braun:
RE: Request for'Cooperation in Improvement of
Hennepin CSAH 17 and FAI -494 Interchange
In the opinion of Hennepin County Department of Transportation
staff and myself there is a demonstrated need for improvement of
the existing interchange and connecting roadways at France Avenue
(CSAH 17) and FAI -494 in the City of Bloomington. Indications of
this need are supported by a number of facts:
1) There has been a rapid increase of traffic volumes on both
facilities since their initial construction in the 1960's (see _
attachment). The rapid development of large traffic generators,
such as the Southdale Shopping Center, Rauenhorst developments,
Yorktown and others around and near this interchange, have resulted
in traffic generations which exceed the capabilities of the existing
transportation system, of which this interchange is only one segment.
2) An analysis of traffic accident statistics for the three -year.
period of 1974 through 1976 revealed that within the France Avenue/
FAI -494 interchange area a total of 176 accidents were recorded.
This interchange area encompasses France Avenue from 150 feet
south of the south ramp to 150 feet north of the north ramp, and
I -494 from 150 feet ahead of the entrance ramps to 150 feet beyond
the exit ramps. Although our accident data does not specify the
exact locations of the accidents within the interchange area, we
are reasonably certain that the large majority occurred on-France
Avenue.
In addition, 46 accidents were reported during the same time period
at the intersection of France Avenue and 78th Street, which is
directly north of the interchange. Both in number and rate of
accidents, the France Avenue /FAI -494 interchange area ranks sig-
nificantly higher than other interchanges on the county highway system.

3) The level of service being provided to the traveling public
is less than acceptable. Although the county has not conducted a
detailed study for level of service on all facilities within the
area, a staff member made visual observations during the week of
November 27, 1978. The observer reported that southbound traffic
experienced a number of lengthy delays at the interchange, especially
in the evening, with motorists waiting from two to five signal
changes in order to travel through the interchange. Southbound
traffic, during the evening rush hour, was observed to be backed up
to almost 76th Street, a distance of approximately one -half mile.
Levels of service at the interchange were estimated to be D during
the morning peak hour and from D to F during the evening peak hour.
One reason for this unacceptable level of service provided to the
motorist is the inadequate capacity of the France Avenue overpass .
to accommodate the large number of left turning movements at the
ramp intersections.
During the past several years Hennepin County has made, or partici-
pated in, a number of transportation improvements on its roadways
in the area, to help alleviate the traffic problems and several
more have been planned in 1979. Recent projects in the area include:
1) The widening, channelization, and service road detachment on
France Avenue from I -494 to south of W. 80th Street, including
signalization of the France Avenue - 80th Street intersection.
2) The upgrading of York Avenue (CSAH 31) from W. 69th Street to
W. 80th Street, including a new traffic signal at W. 69th Street.
(In addition, new traffic signals on York Avenue at W. 70th Street,
Hazelton Road and W. 76th Street will be under contract by the first
of the year.)
3) A traffic signal updating and interconnect project on 66th
Street from York to Cedar.
4) The installation of traffic signals on France Avenue at Park -
lawn, Hazelton, and W. 70th Street within the last several years.
Projects authorized for 1979 construction are:
1) The widening of France Avenue to a six -lane, divided roadway
with appropriate left and right turn lanes, and the updating of
nine traffic signals between W. 70th Street and the CSAH 62 inter-
change.
2) The installation of a traffic signal on France Avenue at
Gallagher Drive.

MN Department of Transportation
January 22, 1979
Page 3
3) The installation of traffic signal interconnect on France
Avenue from the Crosstown to W. 102nd Street which will coordinate
the signals along that route.
It must be recognized, however, that these improvements are not a
"cure all" for the area. Hennepin County's jurisdictional responsi-
bility and funding capabilities prohibit the improving of major
interchanges with state highways such as France Avenue at FAI -494.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation must take the lead in
initiating a study to.determine what corrective actions are necessary
to improve the transportation accessibility for the area. It is my
position that Hennepin County will cooperate in any way possible-to
expedite these improvements. I am requesting that you use your
influence to implement early action. The traffic delays, congestion,
and incidents of accidents, are becoming more intolerable each year.
It is my understanding that your department has been rather reluctant
to initiate or participate in the improving of this interchange.
Apparently safety projects elsewhere on the state system have been
deemed to be of higher priority. Until improvements are made to
reduce or eliminate the capacity restraints of this interchange,
major improvements on adjacent segments of France Avenue will not
prove fully beneficial. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly
appreciated. Please contact either myself or Herbert O. Klossner,
Director of Transportation for Hennepin County, if we can be of any
help.
Sincerely,
Richard E. Kremer

Dear Sir:
I just wanted to commend one of your officers, Ken Kane for his assistance
in helping my wife with a small emergency at home while I was away on
business. Although her problem was insignificant in comparison with the
normal situations you are confronted with, I wanted you to know how much
we average citizens appreciate the fine police department which you operate.
I've never heard my friends.and neighbors say anything against the Edina
police, just good things. The efficiency with which your department is
run has been brought to my attention several times during my seven -years
of residence.
Please commend Officer Kane and please show= th- is= le-tte -r =to= the= Mayor =and
,,the -City= Council I think they should know the type of work you are doing.
Keep up the good work.
Cordially,

Dear Friends:
You really came through for us! We are all very grateful for your
help in clearing the way for us to have our Pilgrimage March
across Edina last Sunday. It was a high time for us and it would
have been a tragedy had there been any sort of untoward accident.
Your willingness to come and accompany us is greatly appreciated
and we are grateful.
Thank you so much for your willingness to help us out in this way.
That is a marvellous service of the City.
In fact, over the years you have been gracious to us in a variety
of ways and we do want you to know that they are all appreciated.
Your help in making possible our Sunrise Service in Cornelia Park
on Easter mornings for the whole community has been a great boost.
Your concern at various times for our building, and your help to
us in our work with young people, have all been impressive.
Many thanks.
Your friend, sincerely,

A TRIP DOI -IN IMFMORY LANE
The summer of '42 was a time to go dancing to the big bands, a summer when the late
night air was filled with music- -live music from radio broadcasts, from America's
great dance floors.
The other night I went down to Orchestra.Hall and took -a trip .downimemory lane. On
the stage was Tea: Beneke and his orchestra playing the big'band' sounds from the
summer of '42. They recreated the music of two. famous. bands of that, era- -the Glen
Miller Band and the Jimmy Dorsey,Band. Anyone over 50 will remember th'dse great old
tunes: Moonlight Serenade, String of Pearls, Pennsylvania 6 -5000, Tuxedo. Junction,
__Chattanooga Choo Choo, Sunrise Serenade, In The Mood.and the list goes on and on.
Also on the stage were two of the most popular singers of the 1940's, Bob Eberly and
Helen O'Connell, who sang; all the-songs they had made popular. Bob sang his favor-
ites, Serenade in Blue, At Last, Stairway to the Stars, I Remember You and I Under-
stand. Helen sang the ones she made popular, Green Eyes, Amapola, Tangerine, I
Cried For You, Embraceable You and All of Me. They both have a few wrinkles and
Bob had added a few pounds, but their voices were still great...
Ily thoughts . went back to 1939'-when Jimmy' Dorsey, "s Orchestra played' in the ballroom
of the old Nicollet Hotel and I heard Bob Eberly for the first time. Then I went
back in time to 1954 when I. drove Helen O'Connell in the Minneapolis Aquatennial
parade. Well, back to the present - -after two and one -half hours:of enjoyable lis-
tening to all the great tunes of -the vast.- Tt truly was a nos talgic. :evening. If
anyone likes music, get a program schedule and :.pick out an evening; at Orchestra 11all

The Honorable James VanValkenburg
Mayor
City of Edina:,'
4801 W. 50th- Street
Edina, Minnesota 55424
Dear Mayor VanValkenburg:
The general unavailability of residential mortgage money, high interest rates and
the large down payment requirements of financial institutions originating mortgage .
loans have recently made,-it difficult, if not impossible, for Minnesota individuals of
lower ,or medium incomes to purchase or rehabilitate residential properties. To
alleviate this, problem, a number of cities in Minnesota have issued or are
contemplating issuing tax - exempt residential mortgage revLam& bonds to provide
mortgage loans to such low or moderate income families.
There are several public purposes served by the issuance of such residential
mortgage revenue bonds, including primarily the provision of, home mortgage loans
at interest rates 1'iz% to 2% lower than current conventional .mortgage market
interest rates. This enables more people to purchase houses at less cost,
particularly persons of lower or medium incomes, mostly because of significantly
lower monthly mortgage payments., In addition, such- mortgage money is a
significant inducement for persons to move back into urban areas and into areas
requiring rehabilitation.
In effect, the city issuing such residential mortgage revenue bonds will control a
program tailored by city officials to their comprehensive planning goals and needs.
The program envisions a comprehensive financing ' plan, providing funds for new
home purchases, existing home purchases and rehabilitation loans throughout the
city. The city may target a portion of the funds . to specific areas such as new
January 30, 1979
Page 2
developments or redevelopment areas. The program does not advocate providing
funds to a specific developer and thereby creating an unfair competetive advantage
for such a developer over other local builders seeking financing in the city.
Furthermore, local banks and savings and loan associations are encouraged to
participate in the origination and servicing of the mortgage loans generated %vith
the proceeds of the residential mortgage revenue bonds.
Residential mortgage revenue bonds are special revenue bonds and, as such, are not
a liability of the city issuing them. The residential mortgage revenue bonds are
paid from a specified source of revenues: the mortgage loans and certain reserve
funds created under such a program. As in the case of industrial development
revenue bonds, the city does not pledge its full faith and credit and is not liable for
bond payments from any other source of funds.
I, along with other representatives of Miller & Schroeder Municipals, Inc., would be
happy to meet with you to discuss such a financing plan should you determine that
it is in the interest of your community.
Very truly y urs

NEIGHBORHOOD STATISTICS PROGRAM
The Bureau of the Census is developing a 1980 census program on statistics
for neighborhoods for municipalities which have officially recognized areas,
frequently called "neighborhoods." For each such municipality which joins
this program, the Bureau will produce for the recognized neighborhoods a set
of data similar to the 1970 statistics for census tracts in the series PHC(1)
Census Tracts. (Illustrative tables are attached.) The following four
characteristics of neighborhood systems are being considered as criteria for
participation in this program:
1. Official recognition by the municipality.
2. Complete citywide coverage.
3. Nonoverlapping neighborhood boundaries.
4. Elected or appointed advisory representatives from each
ne[ghborhood, or a similar mechanism by which the citi-
zens in these neighborhoods can make known to the city
officials their concerns about issues that impact their
specific areas.
Since the announcement of this program late in 1977, we have communicated
with hundreds of neighborhood people and city officials. Some of them have
described neighborhood systems which do not strictly fit all the proposed
criteria. For instance, in some cities, neighborhoods are not formally
recognized by a law; in other cases, the neighborhood systems are not city-
wide. Although limited by certain technical and operational constraints,
we wish to make the program as responsive as possible. Therefore, we will
be continuing, over the coming months, to evaluate our criteria in terms of
the characteristics of various neighborhood systems. To facilitate this
evaluation, it would be helpful to have a description of your neighborhood
system as it relates to the four general criteria outlined above. We are
especially interested in receiving copies of relevant municipal laws, charter
amendments, administrative actions, or similar documentation of the basis for
your neighborhoods.
Following a review of the additional information we receive, the Bureau will
develop finiil detailed program criteria which will be issued in the Federal
Register in mid -1979. This timing will allow almost 1 -1/2 years for neigh-
borhood organizations and municipalities to, request participation in the
program before the designated deadline of December 1980.

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
We are writing to acquaint you with the 1980 census program on
statistics for neighborhoods which the Bureau of the Census is
develoFing for localities with officially recognized areas,
frequently called "neighborhoods.” This program will provide a
substantial set of statistics for such neighborhoods from the 1980
Census of Population and Housing.
As the program has evolved, we have sought input from many sources,
including the National Association of Neighborhoods, the National
Conference on Neighborhood Councils, the President's National Commis-
sion on Neighborhoods, and such Federal agencies as the Department of
Housing; and Urban Development. We also have had extensive contacts
with local officials, many of whom have supplied us with descriptions
of their neighborhood systems.
The neighborhood statistics program is still in the developmental
stage, and we will not begin to determine which neighborhood systems
are eligible until after the criteria for program participation are
finalized in mid -1979. In order to make our criteria as realistic.as
possible, we are continuing to solicit information about neighborhood
systems and would welcome a description of any such system in your
jurisdiction. An explanation of the specific information that we are
seeking is included in the enclosed document which describes the 1980
census neighborhood statistics program in detail. (Additional copies
of this enclosure are available upon request.) We would also appre-
ciate your notifying neighborhood organizations in your community
about this program.
If you have questions, please let us know.

SUBJECT: SELF INSURANCE LEGISLATION RESOLUTION
DATE: January 30, 1979
'�T: -
Last year the League of Cities attempted to have the Legislature pass a
bill that would clarify municipalities ability to self insure on both
an individual and joint pool basis. The Legislation did not pass and
Is being submitted in revised form this year.
In addition, the League hired the services of William Peet Company to
research premium /loss data on State basis, together with options avail-
able to municipalities to handle their risks. This study is statewide
in scope and the results may or may not be useful to the metropolitan
suburbs. At the same time, the 15 suburbs who began discussing self
insurance last year have developed a proposed joint powers agreement
and narrative statement as to how they would like to function. This
was done as a departure point for Legislature discussion.
At this time a resolution supporting the League's Legislation similar
` to the attached is requested. Copies of the bills are also attached.
Should you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

agreement establishes a joint fund or provides for reciprocal
assumptions of risk among the parties.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1976, Chapter 471, is
amended by adding a section to read:
(471.981) (SELF INSURANCE.) Subdivision 1. Any
political subdivision may by ordinance of resolution of its
governing body self insure against liability of the political
subdivision and its officers, employees, agents and servants
under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466, Sections 340.9. and
r2. /I /7r
340.951 and any other law, for damages resulting from its torts
including torts for which the political subdivision has immunity
and those of its officers, employees, agents and servants. Any
political subdivision may by ordinance or resolution of its
governing body extend the coverage of its self insurance to
afford protection in excess of any limitations on liability
established by law but unless expressly provided in the ordinance
or resolution extending such coverage, the statutory limitations
on liability shall not be deemed to have been waived. A political
subdivision may by ordinance or resolution of its governing body
provide for self insurance against risk of damage to any-of its
property, for any liability exposure, or against any other risk or
hazard and may, through its self insurance program, provide coverage
for insuring any of its officers or employees against any risk or
hazard.
Subd. 2. Any political subdivision may establish a self
insurance revolving fund. The initial amount of the fund shall_ be
in an mount determined by the governing body. The governing body
may appropriate amounts which are necessary to maintain the fund at
the level specified in the ordinance or resolution establishing the
fund. Expenditures from the fund may be made for:
(a) Payment of losses;
(b) Costs of defense and investigation;
(c) Premiums and deductible amounts in areas where commercial
insurance is purchased;
(d) Cost of loss control activities; and
(e) Any other costs customarily borne by commercial insurers_
under conventional insurance policies.
Subd. 3. A pool may be established by agreement of any two or
more political subdivisions. The pool may cover the same risks and
shall be subject to the same limitations as those enumerated under
subdivisions 1 and 2. The pool shall be operated under bylaws
established by the political subdivisions which desire to participate
in the pool. The, bylaws and the agreement establishing the pool may
- 2 -
kbj
provide for bylaw amendment without unanimous consent of all pool
members. The political subdivisions participating in the fund may
establish a joint board to manage the pool with powers and duties as
may be deemed appropriate. A political subdivision participating in
the pool shall pay to the pool all amounts assessed against it pursuant
to the bylaws of the pool and may withdraw only after it has reimbursed
the pool for all amounts for which it is obligated under the terms of
the agreement. The establishment of a pool shall not increase the
liability limits of any member of the pool above the limits established
by law for that governmental unit. Except as otherwise provided in this
section, pools shall be governed by Minnesota Statutues, Section 471.59.
Subd. 4. Sums required for the establishment of a self insurance
revolving fund or p000l may be obtained by a political subdivision by
issuing obligations. In the event that a self insurance fund is depleted
below an amount established by the political subdivision or assessments
are made against a political subdivision pursuant to the bylaws of a
pool, the political subdivision may issue obligations to provide for
funding and to pay claims or judgments which would ordinarily be paid
out of the fund or pool. The obligations authorized to be issued
pursuant to this subdivision shall be issued in the manner established
by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475, except that no election shall be
required under section 475.58.
Subd. 5. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting
the power of a political subdivision to participate as a member in a
mutual insurance company organized under Chapter 66A, or to exchange
reciprocal or interinsurance contracts as authorized by Chapter 71A.
Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1976, Chapter 471, is amended
by adding a section to read:
(471.982) (REVIEW OF JOINT SELF INSURANCE POOL.) Prior to the
formation of a pool, there shall be submitted to the commissioner of
insurance a complete written proposal of the pool's operation, including,
but not limited to, administration, claims adjusting, membership,
capitalization, and provision for payment of claims exceeding the pool's
assets. The commissioner shall review the proposal within 30 days after
receipt to assure that proper insurance techniques and procedures are
included in the proposal. After review, the commissioner shall submit
3'
written comments or recommendations regarding the proposal to each
participating political subdivision. Each pool shall file with the
commissioner of insurance on or before March 1 of each year a written
report in a form prescribed by the commissioner as to its condition.
This report shall include a detailed statement of assets and liabilities,
the amount and character of the business transacted, and the moneys
reserved and expended during the previous year.
Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 1976, Section 60A.02, Subdivision 3,
is amended to read:
Subd. 3. (INSURANCE.) "Insurance" is any agreement whereby one
party, for a consideration, undertakes to indemnify another to a

RE: Special Assessment Deferral
Beatrice G. Dvorak
5400 Akers Lane
Watermain #322 $2,667.68 (deferred)
Sanitary Sewer #338 5,571.77 (not deferred)
Beatrice Dvorak, in a phone conversation on January 30th., brought
to my attention that the City had only deferred one of two new assess-
ments levied -in 1978 on her property. I believe only one assessment
was discussed at the initial request and Beatrice Dvorak assumed we
would defer both. Deferment application was prepared and mailed to
Beatrice Dvorak for her signature which her attorney then notorized.
Beatrice Dvorak feels the City was negligent in not deferring both
assessments and requests the City Council to defer the assessment for
Sanitary Sewer #338 in the amount of $5,571.77•
Gloria Als.trup, Hennepin County Finance informed me that the County
can process the deferment, if approved by resolution by the City
Council.

Cities Week by the Governor of the State of Minnesota; and

profoundly influence their lives; and
WHEREAS, the recognition of the significance of city government by
designation of a City Government Week will provide an opportunity to
promote even greater citizen understanding and involvement; and
WHEREAS, designation of a special week for recognition of city government
will provide opportunities for greater understanding of the role of cities
in relation to other units of local, regional and state government by
governmental officers and employees;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that the City Council of Edina
officially recognizes Minnesota Cities Week and commits this city to
such promotional and other city week activities as the Council shall

January 1.5, 1979
TO: Mayors, Members of the Councils, and Clerks:
Governor Albert H. Quie has agreed to issue an official proclamation designating the week of
February 26 - March 2 as Minnesota Cities Week. This will allow cities the opportunity to high-
light city services in concert with hundreds of other cities throughout the State of Minnesota.
The entire week will offer a variety of opportunities for your participation locally, so that you
can select the options that seem to best fit your community.
-All
of
One purpose of this letter is to ask you to adopt the enclosed resolution of participation, and to
return it to the League and to the Governor. If we can get this kind of official participation from
cities in every part of Minnesota, it will help to underline the importance of the week. We would
like to be able to say publicly that cities from Ada through Zumbrota are officially participat-
ing in Minnesota Cities Week, but we can only do that if you pass this resolution at the next
possible council meeting.
The Board of Directors of the League has selected a slogan for the week. It's - - - - - -- Cities — Where
the People Are! We plan to have a campaign kit designed around this slogan and hope to have
samples in your hands at the beginning of February. The League will also provide suggestions for
a number of activities that cities can undertake on their own. Finally, we will contact the news
media, so that we can coordinate the publicity here with the League's Legislative Conference,
-- -- - -which will be held Wednesday, March 1.
The Board feels that Minnesota Cities Week offers a good opportunity not only to illustrate the
diversity and vitality of cities, but to make cities more visible during this very important legisla-
tive session. They would certainly urge your participation, via the enclosed resolution, and in any
other way that you deem appropriate either now, or after plans for the week are more developed.
In the meantime, if�you have any ideas that should be considered, or any comments, please let
me know.
Si cerely,
Donald A. Slater
