(9 :35 P.M.) rp -3- 7'� f PART. TWO GENERAL LEGISLATIOf XII, AGRICULTURAL LAND USE /GREEN ACRES LAII There is a growing concern about agricultural land use issues in Minnesota, especially urban areas of the state, because.of the.ex- isting conflict between development and preservation of agricultural land. The problem is like a double edge sword and can best be stated by asking the question "HOW TO ENSURE COST EFFECTIVE ORDERLY AND CONTIGUOUS DE- VELOPMENT WHERE IT SHOULD TAKE PLACE AND PRESERVE AGRI- CULTURAL LAND FROM DEVELOPMENT WHERE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE ?" There is an increased incidence of development in rural areas, both outside of incorporated cities and outside of the normal service areas within incorporated cities. This is and has caused the pre- mature extension of expensive utilities through undeveloped land and the elimination of prime agricultural Land which otherwise should re- main productive. It also causes the under utilization of the in- place utilities and land in the cities and, to some extent, is pro- moting urban deterioration. This has been characterized as hopscotch development. The existing Green Acres Law works to the detriment of cities in plan - ning for development within their boundaries. Under the Existing Green Acres Law, it is entirely up to the land owner whether or not to take advantage of this law. If used, land taxes are reduced and all sewer and water assessments are deferred until the land owner chooses to either sell or otherwise terminate the Green Acres classification. Thus, a city is unable to plan with any certainty for the develop ment of a particular parcel of land which is or may be included in the Green Acres classification. In the metropolitan area, the Metro- politan Council has developed and is attempting to implement an Urban Development /Agricultural Preservation Policy. Green Acres, as it ex- ists, is contrary to the Council policy,'as well as sound municipal planning principles and processes. Therefore, the AMM proposes the following policy for Legislative consideration: 1. ANY TAX ABATEMENT AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DEFERRAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE COORDINATED WITH LOCAL PLANNING AND ZONING SO THAT WHEN A LAND USE FOR THE PROPERTY INCONSISTENT WITH AGRICULTURAL USE IS ESTABLISHED AND IMPLEIIENTATION OF TIiAT LAND USE CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANNING IS IP.t1IINE NT, THE TAX ABATEMENT AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DEFERRAL TERMINATES. -1- r i r 2. THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ESTABLISH A STATE POLICY ON THE ISSUE OF AGRICULTURAL LAND PRESERVATION 1W1ICH PROVIDES POLICY DIREC- TION TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS IN IMPLEMENTING THEIR LAND USE CONTROLS. THIS POLICY SHOULD DISCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL LAND OUTSIDE OF THE URBAN SERVICE AREAS OF CITIES. AND, CONVERSELY, ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND WITHIN THE URBAN SERVICE AREAS OF CITIES: 3. SPECIFICALLY CONCERNING THE METROPOLITAN AREA AND LAND USE LEGISLATION FOR THE METROPOLITAN AREA THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTED FACTORS SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT: f .a) RURAL AREA AS DEFINED BY THE METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK AND LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS - CONTROLS SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO ENSURE THE PRESERVATION OF .THIS LAND FOR AGRICULTURAL USE. (For example, allow development only in areas contiguous to developed areas). b) URBAN SERVICE AREA AS DEFINED BY THE METROPOLITAN DEVEL- OPIJENT FRAMEWORK AND LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS - CONTROLS SHOULD BE.PROVIDED TO ENSURE ORDERLY TRANSITION FROM AGRI- CULTURE TO URBAN USE. THESE CONTROLS SHOULD INCLUDE CITY DETERMINATION OF TERMINATION TIME, ASSESSMENTS DUE UPON TERMINATION WITH EXTENDED PAY PERIOD PROVISION, SPECIFIED QUALIFYING AGRICULTURAL USES SHOULD BE DEFINED, AFTER TERMINATION LAND SHALL BE ASSESSED FOR TAX PURPOSES CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANNED USE, SPECIFIED LENGTH OF TIME EXTENDABLE AT CITY OPTION, AND ONLY LAND ACTUALLY BEING USED FOR A QUALIFIED AGRICULTURAL.U.SE MAY QUALIFY. NO PENALTY SHOULD BE PROVIDED UPON TERMINATION OF GREEN ACRES STATUS UNLESS THE LAND OWNER PREMATURELY TERMINATES THE GREEN ACRES.,CONTRACT. ACTUAL PENALTIES OF THIS TYPE NEED NOT BE LEGISLATED, BUT.COULD BE NEGOTIATED WITHIN INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS. .z2- association of ,metropolitan municipalities March 15, 1978 a TO: AMM Designated Delegates FROM: Vern Peterson and Administrative Officials.

Swanson, Partner The Colony at Southdale HRS /rm CLINIC SUMMARY WSTC FACTS AND STATISTICS — 1977 SUMMARY INCOME STATEMENT As attested by the statistics below, 1977 was a busy year! Our deepest thanks go to the over 130 volunteers who so unselfishly" gave of their time and talents. Through the dedication of these volunteers plus the caring, yet efficient, leadership of our professional employed staff, the Clinic continues to grow in community services and acceptance. Total visits: 1854 1977 HIGHLIGHTS 0 Meeting of St. Luke Church's matching grant by Excelsior Congrega- tional Church. Our director, .Marlene Lindquist, being the recipient of the West Sub- urban YMCA-Community Service Award. ,The adding of 12 new community organizations as Clinic financial supporters. ,The election of one of our Youth Board members, Sue Powers, as Minnesota's Youth Governor. ,Methodist Hospital's continued donation of laboratory facilities. The sum value of these services now exceed $13,000. ,Formation of a new auxiliary to help in Clinic maintenance and fund raising. Kim Heiam, Youth Board member, trained as a breast self -exam facil- e itator by American Cancer Society - the youngest in the State. Through polls and surveys of consumer -aged people which were com- pleted and evaluated in 1977, WSTC received valuable input as to our com- munity needs. By increased involvement with other community agencies, WSTC has ,nearly doubled the number of people reached for health educ- ation. The Clinic has added a third examining room which has enabled WSTC to provide experiential inservice education for family practice residents -through the University of Minnesota - Methodist Hospital Family Practice .and Community Health Program. The focus of inservice training sessions for volunteer professional staff during 1977 was geared toward improving counseling skills and elevating our level of awareness and sensitivity to some of the kinds of problems our clients might encounter. . One glance at the accompanying income statement clearly spells out our major area of concern - financial. Rent and physical overhead remain our major non - productive burden. A resolution of this burden must be found so we can implement exciting new outreach plans. These new programs call for the futher strengthening of our counseling resources and the development of a more intensive community education program. Through these two programs we will attempt to better address the basic lack of self worth that is so prevalent amoung our clients. We hope to initiate a transition from being primarily a reactive, symptom treating facility to one contributing more effectively to our client's total personal well being. 1977 ended. on a positive note with WSTC receiving word that the Clinic would receive CETA funding for a third staff person. Linda White, a social worker, was added to the paid staff early in 1978; we are looking forward to futher expanison of services due to this valuable addition. Finally, we wish to express our appreciation to Hennepin County and its Department of Health & Social Services for its crucial financial support, cooperation, and advice. 97% of all clients are over age 15 3% of all clients are under age 15 Birth control classes and clinics accounted for 56% of clients; gereral.clinics for 36 %; counseling for 8 %. 12% of all clients visits were for venereal disease concerns; of 781 clients screened for gonorrhea, 13 (2 %) were diagnosed positively. Of all clients, 91% were females Most clients (78 %) came from the West Hennepin area; the remainder came from elsewhere in the county and outstate. Of all clients, 58% were referred by friends; 15% by clinic P.R.; 15% by school, church, or family; 12% by other sources. Of the 265 females who came to the clinic believing they were pregnant, 126 actually were pregnant -- an increase of 13% over the previous year. Of all clients served, 6% came in specifically for physical examinations A total of 3,120 lab tests were done Abnormal pap smears were discovered in 5 °k of all clients screened'126 out of 569) Of all clients coming to WSTC for birth control, 94% had had intercourse before their first visit; 69% had been having intercourse for a year or more; 8% had had a pregnancy before coming to the clinic for birth control. Of all counseling visits, 79% were for pregnancy counseling; 10% were for individual problems; the remainder were for other problems including depression, chemical dependency, and school problems. The senior citizen blood pressure check program saw 103 clients for 329 visits. The community education program involved 105 groups for a total of 1653 persons contacted. Total number of hours donated to WSTC equals 3,896. This includes 3,397 hours donated by volunteer professional staff; 499 hours of bookkeeping, errands, and cleaning help.

The property in question is located at 5100, 5102, 5104 and 5108 France Avenue, Edina, Minnesota. The land has been under the present owners control since May 9, 1975. Since that time a number of attempts have been made to have a plan approved by the City Planning Board and other related authorities. It now appears that certain approvals are obtainable and the project appears to remain viable. The land in question is subject to City of Edina Ordinance No. 811 -A87, which ordinance amends ordinance 811 and establishes "The Senior Citizen Residence District..."

Sincerely /D W McCarthy President Northern Sta s P,6wer Company 9525 WAYZATA BOULEVARD ® MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55426 ® 612/540 -6045 WHEREAS, this City Council is in full support of the activities and leadership provided by the South Hennepin Human Services Council; and, WHEREAS, this Council feels that these activities have had a positive impact on the development and delivery of human services in our community; and, WHEREAS, this g activity has been delegated to Hennepin County by state legislation and has been responsibly and effectively carried out through community planning boards; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED , by the City Council of that. 1. This Council recommends that a strong human services pig board be maintained; 2. That the most appropriate funding mechanism is through Hennepin County; 3. That this Council urges the County Board to continue funding. as they have in the past. S H H S C i March 23, 1978 a' SOUTH HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL MEMORANDUM To: Board Members of the South Hennepin Human Services Council From: Mary Hayden, Chairperson Re: Special Meeting to discuss County Funding Tuesday, March 28, 1978 at 7:30 P.M. Creekside Center Serving: Bloomington Eden Prairie Edina Richfield We have scheduled a special meeting of the Board to discuss some recent funding concerns and strategies and to develop a position prior to the upcoming Hennepin County Commissioners, Ways and Means Committee Meeting April 17, 1978 (this is the meeting at which they are scheduled to consider the County formula for funding the suburban human services councils). As you are aware, we decided at our last board meeting on March 15, 1978 that SHHSC would bring to the four city councils the.resblution that Hennepin County is the most appropriate funding mechanism for the human services councils, and therefore, a specified city contribution should not be required. However, on Thursday, March 16, 1978 Phil Riveness, Russ Stricker and I met with the chairpersons and directors of the West and Northwest Human Services Councils to discuss the funding issue. Tracy Whitehead, Chairperson, and Marcie Shapiro, Director, of the West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board had recently met with Ticen, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and Phil Eckert, Director of the Office of Planning and Development, and as a result of that meeting were suggesting that we alter our strategy regarding County funding (see enclosed notes taken by Tracy Whitehead from that meeting). It appears improbable that we have sufficient votes on the County Board to avoid passage of a designated restricted County formula for funding of the human services councils. On the other hand, they indicated that Ticen is saying that if the Cities give some contribution this would at least in his mind indicate_City support for the human services councils. Because of this new information I'feel it necessary to call a special meeting to obtain Board input. To minimize the time commitment this will be the only issue discussed at our meeting. In preparation for the meeting please find enclosed some background information on our ongoing funding issue with the County. 9801 Penn Avenue South •_ Room 100 • Bloomington, Minnesota 55431 . • (612) 888 -5530 P O S I T I O N P A P E R Future Funding of the South Hennepin.Human..Services Council Background Since 1975, Hennepin County staff and certain County Commissioners have been raising the question as to whether municipalities should contribute-.a -proportion of the, budgets of suburban human services councils:.: The_Ways and Means Committee of the Hennepin County Board is presently. considering the following Resolution: "BE IT RESOLVED that.:;for purposes of the development of the 1979 Community Planning Budget, and not withstanding other County policies established for the funding of .community planning, staff..be guided by the principle that County financial support shall not exceed two- thirds of the .costs of eligible services provided by community planning organizations. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that-in-order to provide currently funded community planning organizations -with sufficient lead time to develop additional sources of financial support in 1979, staff be directed to meet with repre- sentatives of these organizations to explain this policy-and procedures for its_ implementation." Interim Discussions On November 29, 1977, at the invitation of the South Hennepin Human Services Council,. representatives of. the .cities...of.Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina and Richfield met..with county staff and Commissioner's Kremer, Robb and Ticen.to.., discuss the resolution. Those present agreed unanimously that the South Hennepin 'Human Services_. Council is an effective organization. Differences related to who. .has responsibility,for- funding the range of :-activities the organization undertakes. Philip Eckhert, Director of the Office of. Planning and Development, emphasized'' -. ,that Hennepin County., was:. not_ recommending. that the municipalities should. contribute to the human, services councils' budgets, but rather that the county would reduce its proportionate share. The municipalities would then be one of a number of possible source a... for.. supplementing the budgets. James Anderson, Chairman of the South Hennepin Human Services Council stated that ... the Council would draft recommendations regarding this issue and forward them to each city council for their consideration. Recommendations I.- Hennepin County is urged to...provide full .funding for the.South Hennepin- ... Human Services Council in 1979. Rationale County government " -.has- been- delegated principal_ responsibility - for.-human services programming by the state legislature. Recent legislative action such as the Community Health Services Act and proposed changes..such..as those reflected in House File #1 confirm the County's expanding responsibi- lity for the planning and coordination of human.services -: Most legislation . however, also requires counties to insure citizen input and allow for .1 4 1 subcounty uniqueness. All activities of the South Hennepin Human Services Council are related directly or indirectly to the responsibility of Hennepin County in the human services area. II. Hennepin County is urged to reduce reliance'on property tax dollars as the_.___ sole source of support for human services councils by providing leadership in attracting federal and state grants or other appropriate funds. Rationale Hennepin County has recently received various monies for planning and coordination activities in mental health and community health services. Other.such funding may now or in the future be available but should be pursued jointly by the county and the human services councils. III. Hennepin County is encouraged to consider funding human services councils on the basis of population size. Rationale This approach would address the equity question being raised by Minneapolis_' planning areas. Other Alternatives 1. Municipalities are encouraged to provide up to 1/3 funding of the South Hennepin Human Services Council. In kind contributions are acceptable. Positive Consequences 1. 2. 3.

Specifically, the City Council was interested in receiving a comparison of the tax revenues generated by subsidized housing and the amount of tax revenue generated by market rate development. Staff initiated the tax revenue comparison by studying the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Area and used the tax revenues expected to be generated by the subsidized housing in this redevelopment area pursuant to the financial section of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan. These tax revenue figures will be compared to hypothetical market rate development. Tax revenue figures for the hypothetical market rate development are based upon previous developments that have occurred in-the City of Edina. Before considering comparable market rate developments in any detail, a description of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment area is warranted. The Southeast Edina Redevelopment Area is composed of approximately 130.24 acres, 75.92 which are vacant. Approximately 38.91 acres of the vacant 75.92 acres will be devoted to residential redevelopment with 15.0 acres to be developed as parkland and the remaining 22.01 acres to be used for transitional light industrial development. The 15.0 acres of parkland will be tax exempt and will have no effect upon the tax revenues generated in the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Area. The 22.01 acres to be used for transitional light industrial development will accommodate a light manufacturing function within the area's ambient noise level or an office or warehouse land use. Any development occupying the 22.01 acres of land zoned Planned Industrial District (PID) is likely to be a market rate development, and will be assessed at full market ff L; f Memorandum Page 2 February 17, 1978 value (43% of the value of the land and building), the tax revenues derived from the 22.01 acres zoned PID within the Southeast Edina Redevelopment will be the same as if the acreage were located outside the redevelopment area. With the net effect of tax revenues generated by the parkland and PID acreage in the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Area being the same as if this acreage were not located in the redevelopment area, the 38.91 acres proposed for low- moderate residential development would be the only land use likely to have an effect upon the total tax revenues received by-the City of Edina. The tax revenues that can be expected to be generated by the 38.91 acres of land to be devoted to low- moderate income housing are expected to approximate $190,000. This figure is based upon the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Finance Plan and average cost per unit figures obtained from the Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency. The tax revenues will be generated by a 90 unit family townhouse project, a 70 unit family townhouse project, a_ 100 unit elderly low -rise apartment project, and a 100 unit family townhouse project. Table one below outlines the projects and their concommitant estimated tax revenues. TART T: nmir? SUBSIDIZED HOUSING EXPECTED TAX REVENUES: SE EDINA REDEVELOPMENT FINANCE PLAN 90 Unit Townhome (Ryan Construction) $ 50,000 Proposed 70 Unit Townhouse $ 40,000 Proposed 100 Unit Elderly Apartments $ 40,000 Proposed 100 Unit Townhouse $ 60,000 $190,000 The market rate development alternatives to subsidized housing in the Southeast Edina Area are (1) apartment development; (2) townhouse development; (3) residential and non - residential development combined. These land uses are based on limitations imposed by the South Edina Land Use Plan relative to trip generation. Map one on the following page provides a magnified view of the exception area currently used by Hedberg Sand and Gravel as part of the South Edina Plan. The area east of the commuter trail is included within the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan and the City of Edina should attempt to honor the trip generation maximums listed for the area.

The ensuing analysis of market rate residential development for the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Area is based upon similar market rate residential development in proximity to this area. The Assessing Department was consulted to determine an average, per unit value for both apartment buildings and townhouses in Edina. The average apartment unit was found to have a value of $23,339. Townhouses were valued at $77,530 per unit. No comparison of condominium market rate development was considered since there are an insufficient number of condominium units that have been divided for tax purposes to warrant such a comparison. APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT A hypothetical market rate apartment development could be expected to generate tax revenues totaling $460,159 for apartments of less than four stories, type I construction. This figure is based upon building and land costs totaling $15,332,095. The hypothetical market rate apartment development includes 605.units situated on the four sites scheduled to accommodate the proposed 360 units of subsidized elderly apartment and family townhouse units. The apartment development does not exceed the trip generation limitations and density requirements established in the South Edina Land Use Plan. It was assumed each apartment unit would generate seven trip ends per day. "This figure represents a typical traffic generation level for this land use. 111 The low- moderate income housing slated for the Southeast Edina .Redevelopment Area can be expected to generate approximately $190,000.00 in tax revenues. This figure is based on the tax revenue figures contained in the finance plan of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan and "The per unit construction costs of subsidized low- moderate housing in the metropolitan area. "2 A tax revenue comparison of apartment and subsidized housing development yields a difference of $270,159. The difference in revenues for fire proof apartments of five or more stories is $236,765. This figure is based on 3 five story apartment developments totaling 705 units and generating $426,765 in tax revenues. 1 Marks, Harold, Protection of Highway Utility, National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 121 (Washington, D.C.: Highway Research Board), 1971. 2 Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Roger Rhode, Director of Construction Research, Personal Conversation, February 15, 1978. Memorandum • Page 4 February 17, 1978 MARKET RATE TOWNHOUSES The subsidized, low- moderate income housing proposal in the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan can also be compared to a hypothetical market rate townhouse development. The anticipated tax revenues totaling $190,000 associated with the redevelopment plan compare with tax revenues associated with the townhouse development equal to $636,456. The difference in tax revenues is $446,980. As was the case with the hypothetical market rate apartment development, this proposal of 305 townhouse units totaling, $23,646,650.00 in building and land costs, conforms'to the density and trip generation limitations of the South Edina Land Use Plan. Again, "The Traffic Generation Level (eight trip ends per day) is Based on Typical Traffic Generation Levels Associated With This .Land Use ".3 COMBINATION RESIDENTIAL -NON- RESIDENTIAL The third and final hypothetical market rate proposal to be considered in the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan Area is a combination of townhouses east of York Avenue and apartments and offices west of York Avenue. The South Edina Land Use Plan specifies that no retailing facilities be located in the South Edina Land Use Plan Area, so staff has assumed a development containing small professional offices-in separate structures or on the ground floor of the apartment buildings located west of York Avenue. The townhouse tax revenues for 160 units would approximate $339,399 The area west of York could be expected to accommodate 350 apartment units and 10,000 - 12,000 square feet of office space. This land use would generate another $258,210 in tax revenues. The total tax revenues of $597,909 for the combined residential- non - residential land use is greater than the subsidized housing tax revenue figure by $407,909. As was the case with the other hypothetical market rate developments, this proposal conforms to the density and trip generation limitations contained in the S. outh Edina Land Use Plan. CONCLUSION For the purpose of comparison, table one, below, lists the expected tax revenues associated with the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan 3 IBID; Marks, Harold, National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 121 (Washington, D.C.: Highway Research Broad), 1971. Memorandum Page 5 February 17, 1978 and the three hypothetical market rate development proposals:.(1) Residential Apartment; (2) Residential Townhouse; and (3) Residential- Non - Residential Combined. TABLE 1 .TAX REVENUE COMPARISON IN THE SOUTHWEST EDINA REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AREA: SUBSIDIZED LOW - MODERATE INCOME HOUSING AND HYPOTHETICAL MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT Land Use Tax Revenue (1) Subsidized Low - Moderate Income Housing $ 190,000 (2) Market Rate Apartments (a) 4 stories or fewer $ 460,159 (b) 5 stories or more $ 426,765 (3) Market Rate Townhouses $ 636,980 (4) Residential- Non - Residential Combination $ 597,909 The Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan can be expected to generate tax revenues from $236,765-to $446,980 less than typical market rate developments for this area. The less intense use of the public facilities and improvements (parks, streets, sewers, etc.) as a result of the lower density may extend the lifetime of these . improvements, lower the number of repairs required and thereby reduce municipal improvement costs. However, even with this reduction in municipal improvement costs having a net effect of reducing the difference in potential tax revenues, the magnitude of the tax revenue disparity should be assumed to approximate the figures listed in table one. One other factor to consider when interpreting this data concerns the density reduction formula for South Edina and West Edina. The Southeast Edina Redevelopment Area, if developed at market rate, would be subject to the density reduction features. The market rate proposals listed also were assumed to have been developed near the maximum allowable densities under the South Edina Land Use Plan. The density reduction formula could be expected to reduce the tax revenues received by the City of Edina, the Richfield School District, Hennepin County and the other political entities that may legally levy a tax on this property by as much as fifty per cent of the revenues listed in table one. s March 29, 1978 Edina City Council Edina Bith Hall Edina, Minnesota Dear Councilmen: This letter comes to you from the Cornelia School Parent Teacher Asso- ciation Board. It contains a list of concerns we as representatives of a school community and neighborhood have about traffic on 70th Street from France Avenue to Highway 100 with its new interchange and its affect on the lives of our children.,-the students of Cornelia School. tie are very aware of the upgrading of roads in our area that has af- fected the traffic on 70th Street: the residential development -west of Highway 100 that uses 70th Street to reach retail areas at France and Southdale, and the improving'of Highway 100 itself to accomodate traffic through our community going North and South. The improve- ments made by Hennepin County have changed the. ,nature of the traffic. on 70th Street. We have used options open to us to help deal w1th the changes that have concerned.us. As you may be aware we have a -20 mile an hour speed zone that activates at school crossing times. This was made possible by legislation passed in 1975 at the state level. We are now asking that you become aware of our concerns; investigate projections for 70th Street in the area noted in the context of its being crossed by school children four times a day; and respon$ to us as parents and people concerned about the safety of our children and changes affecting our school. Thank you for your attention. We are awaiting your reply. Sincerely, Pamela J. Keating Cornelia PTA Community Relations cc.

CITY OF EDINA In the Matter of the Application of EDWARD G. THERNELL for a Subdivision of Land Entitled Killarney Shores 2nd Addition. FINDINGS, DECISIONS, AND REASONS The above entitled matter was heard before the City Council, City of Edina, on February 27, 1978, and Edward G. Thernell ( "Proponent ") was present. The City Council, having heard and reviewed all of the facts and arguments presented by the Proponent, City Staff, and residents living in the vicinity of the proposed sub- division, and having heard and reviewed the evidence and law adduced by the Proponent and City Staff, and being fully advised, after due consideration, hereby makes the following FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. The Proponent, on December 21, 1977, submitted an application for subdivision of a 38,688 square foot tract of land described as Outlot B, Killarney Shores (hereinafter referred to as the "Subject Property "). The proposed subdivision entitled Killarney Shores 2nd Addition (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposed Subdivision ") delineated two R -1 Single Family Dwelling lots measuring 19,573 square feet and 19,115 square feet respectively. 2. The Edina Planning Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning Commission" to distinguish it from the "Community Development and Planning Commission" which was established on February 1, 1978, and which assumed in toto the duties and responsibilities of the Planning Commission and which was designated as the "Planning Agency" of the City of Edina within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.351 through 462.364) reviewed the Proposed Subdivision at its January 4, 1978, meeting. The Planning Commission continued the application for subdivision to the February 1, 1978, meeting. This continuance was deemed necessary to allow sufficient time for staff of the Hennepin County Department of Transportation to review the Proposed Subdivision. 3. on January 27, 1978, staff members of the City of Edina met with staff members of the Hennepin County Department of Transportation for the purpose of reviewing the Proposed Subdivision. At.that time, Hennepin County staff expressed concern about the potential adverse traffic safety impacts resulting from access to _dwellings which would be constructed on the Subject Property as a result of the Proposed Subdivision. Hennepin County staff noted that due to the terrain of the site, the curvature of Gleason Road, and enforceable speed limits on Gleason Road, adequate sight distances were not possible to ensure safe access to and from dwelling units which would be constructed on the Subject Property. Hennepin County staff noted, however, that if the Proposed Subdivision were approved, by the City of Edina, the County would issue permits for driveway curb cuts on Gleason Road for both lots of the Proposed Subdivision. In conjunction with such permits, Hennepin County staff indicated that a) driveway curb cuts should be located at the northerly extreme of lot 1 and-at the southerly extreme of lot 2 of .the'Proposed Subdivision b) driveways should intersect Gleason Road at an angle of not less than 60 degrees and c) driveways should include a "turn around" to prevent vehicles from backing onto Gleason Road. 4. The Edina Community Development and Planning Commission reviewed the Proposed Subdivision at its February 1, 1978 meeting. The Community Development.and Planning Commission recommended approval of the application for subdivision with the following conditions and modifications: i.� driveway curb cuts must be placed at the northerly extreme of lot 1 and at the southerly extreme of lot 2 ii. driveways must intersect Gleason Road at an angle of not less than 60 degrees iii. driveways must include a "turn around" -2- iv. an approved grading plan, soil erosion plan control plan with the required bond, and a tree cutting permit v. subdivision dedication in the amount of $1100.00 vi. provisions for adequate storm water damage in the ditch located at the base of the hill on the Gleason Road right -of -way 5. On February 9, 1978, the Hennepin County Department of Trans- portation submitted to the City of Edina written comments regarding the Proposed Subdivision. These comments were as follows: " i. Dedicate an additional 7 feet of right of way for a total of 40 feet from and along the centerline of CSAH 158. ii. We are very concerned about access location for this plat. The plats terrain combined with the horizontal curvature of CSAH 158 adversely affect access by severely restricting sight distance. The developer should contact Don Murphy, Traffic Division, 935 -3381 for assistance in determining a suitable access location before receiving final plat approval from the City. iii. The developer must apply for and receive an approved entrance permit before beginning access construction. Please inform the developer that entrance permit forms are available from our Traffic Division. iv. Provisions.to control drainage and soil erosion during and after construction should be required. v. The developer must also receive approval from the County Engineer before beginning any other work within County right of way. This includes, but is not limited to, drainage and utility construction (utility permits required), trail development, and landscaping. vi. The developer must restore all areas within County right of way disturbed during construction." -3- 6. On February 6, 1978, at the request of the City Planner, the Edina City Council scheduled a hearing for February 27, 1978, for the purpose of considering the Proponent's Application for Subdivision of the Subject Property. 7. On February 27, 1978, the Edina City Council conducted a public hearing regarding the Proponent's Application for Subdivision. At that hearing, the City Council reviewed the recommendation of the Community Development and Planning Commission, the comments"of the Hennepin County Department of Trans- portation, the reports of the Edina Police Department, and testimony of residents living in the vicinity of the Subject Property. The Proponent was present but did not testify. The City Council, thereupon, directed City staff to prepare necessary findings and reasons based on matters set out in the report from the Community Development and Planning Commission, the Hennepin County Department of Transportation, and City staff, and on the information brought before the Council at its February 27, 1978, meeting and such other information as may be appropriate, and directing that such findings and reasons be presented to the City Council for further review on April 3, 1978. 8. The Subject Property is owned by the E. G. Thernell Trust (also known as and hereinafter referred to as the Everth G. Thernell Trust to distinguish same from Edward G. Thernell, the Proponent). 9. In July, 196.7, Everth G. Thernell applied for the subdivision of a 61.40 acre tract of unplatted land located in west central Edina. On May 20, 1968, the City Council granted preliminary plat approval for the Owner's proposed subdivision entitled, Killarney Shores. On.June 3, 1968, the City Council granted final plat approval for Killarney Shores (with the exception of Lot 1, Block 1, which was not granted final approval due to the potential realignment of this lot due to the alignment of Gleason Road. On August 5, 1968, the City Council again granted final plat approval for -4- Killarney Shores including Lot 1, Block 1 in that a deed restriction in favor of the City had been executed which adequately regulated development on Lot 1, Block 1). The preliminary plat and final plat of Killarney Shores delineated 63 single family lots and two outlots, Outlot A and Outlot B (i.e. the Subject. Property). Outlot A was subsequently purchased by the City for park purposes. 10. The Subject Property measures 38,688 square feet in area. The Subject Property is crescent - shaped and is bordered on its eastern, curvelinear boundary by Gleason Road. The western, linear boundary is .bordered by single family lots. The eastern boundary, which abuts Gleason Road along its entire length, measures 596 feet. The western boundary measures 537 feet. The maximum depth of the Subject Property as measured at a right angle from Gleason Road is 120 feet. 11. Gleason Road is classified as a "Minor Arterial Roadway" according to the Functional Classification System for Roadways prepared by the Metropolitan Council. The portion.of Gleason Road lying north of C.S.A.H. 62 and in the vicinity of the Subject Property is also classified as a County State Aid Highway. The enforceable speed limit for this section of Gleason Road is 40 MPH. The City of Edina cannot unilaterally reduce the enforceable speed limit of Gleason Road. 12. According to City of Edina traffic volume data, that portion of Gleason Road.north of C.S.A.H. 62 and on which the Subject Property fronts carried approximately 500 vehicles daily in 1967 when the then Owner made application for the subdivision entitled, Killarney Shores. 13. According to Hennepin County traffic volume data, said portion of Gleason Road carried approximately 6500 vehicles daily in 1976. 14. Staff of the Hennepin County Department of Transportation have indicated that the projected year 2000 traffic volume for said portion of Gleason Road is approximately 12,000 vehicles per day. -5- 15. According to standards adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials, the minimum recommended sight distance along Gleason Road from a driveway access to allow vehicles to enter Gleason Road safely is 440 feet for Lot 1 and 530 feet for Lot 2 of the Proposed Subdivision. These recommended sight distances are based upon an enforceable 40 HPH speed limit on Gleason Road. 16. Due to the curvature of Gleason Road and the topography of the Subject Property, staff of the Hennepin County Department of Transportation have determined that the maximum available sight distance for Lot l is 260 feet and for Lot 2, 320 feet. The available sight distance for Lot 1 is 180 feet below recommended minimum standards. The available sight distance for Lot 2 is 210 feet below recommended minimum standards. 17.' The Edina Police Department has documented that for the period from January 1, 1975 through March 1, 1978, 20 vehicular accidents involving property damage were reported to have occurred on Gleason Road in proximity to the Subject Property. The Edina Police Department further reports that five of these reported accidents involved personal injuries to 9 people. The Edina Police Department reported that this number of vehicular accidents and personal injuries is unusually high for a street in a residential area of Edina. Residents living in the vicinity of the Subject Property have also stated at the February 27, 1978, meeting of the Edina City Council that numerous vehicular mishaps not involving significant property damage have been witnessed at this location and presumably not reported to the Police. 18. The average slope of the Subject Property is 26%. 19. According to the Soil Survey of Hennepin 'County prepared by the Soil Conservation Service, the soil of the Subject Property is classified as a "Heyder Complex" having slopes of 18 to 35 percent. The Soil Survey further indicates that such soils have severe limitations for residential developments due to high potential for erosion and sedimentation. The Soil Survey also -6- Indicates that such soils are "better suited to uses that enhance the beauty of the area than to most other uses." 20. The Metropolitan Council, in the Protection Open Space section of the Metropolitan Development Guide, has determined that slopes in excess of 12 percent are susceptible to severe erosion and should be protected as permanent open space. The Metropolitan Development Guide therefore adopted a policy which states, "slopes which because of their surficial soil type are susceptible to severe erosion should be maintained in a natural state ". 21. In 1976, the rear yard of a single family lot located at 6136 Arctic Way (Lot 2, Block 2, Viking Hills 2nd Addition) experienced a lateral down -slope slippage of the surface soil layer which exhibited slopes of approximately 40 percent. This lot together with other single family lots with similar rear yard slopes are adjacent to and upslope from the Subject Property. 22. The-Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Edina (Ordinance . No. 801) states that any outlots shown on a plat, replat,,or subdivision approved- by the City shall not be, nor be deemed to be, lots or plats, nor shall any such outlots be developed by the erection or placing of improvements thereon unless first replatted into lots and blocks in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance. The Subdivision Ordinance also states that all proposed subdivisions shall be reviewed with regard to the suitability of the proposed subdivision from the standpoint of community planning. Therefore, based on the foregoing Findings, The City Council does hereby make the following T%VPT0Tf%W7. I. That based upon all facts and circumstances, the City Council denies the Proponent's application for the subdivision entitled Killarney Shores 2nd Addition. -7- The above Decision is made for the following REASONS: A. Gleason Road in the vicinity of the Subject Property presently exhibits an unusually high rate of vehicular accidents. The present traffic and future projected increase in traffic, together with the extremely inadequate. sight distances for driveway accesses to dwellings which would be constructed on the Subject Property, would adversely increase the potential for vehicular accidents and personal injury and death and would be deleterious to the public i health, safety and welfare. B. The steep slopes of the Subject Property have severe limitations for residential development. Development as contemplated by the Proposed Subdivision would greatly increase the potential for soil erosion and sedimentation. The lateral slippage of the surface soils of a lot adjacent to the Subject Property in 1976 further indicates the instability of such slopes which could potentially damage properties and present a public health and safety hazard. -8- REQUEST F0 P':aCHASE TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Bob Kojetin, Director of Park and Recreation Department .

It has also come to my attention that the Internal Revenue Service will shortly publish proposed regulations which, in effect, will do away with deferred compensation plans for local and state government employees. All Minnesota political subdivisions which have a deferred compensation plan may be affected by this new regulation. There is legislation in both Houses of Congress, I understand, (H.R. 10746, 1174 and S.2627) which would override these regulations by Congressional action. The City of Edina has several employees who have deferred compensation plans. I am personally affected. The Internal Revenuw Service states that only people with large incomes have taken advantage of this program. In my own instance, I am attempting to add to my retirement income, hav- ing had a husband who recently passed away after being disabled over ten years. I had always considered my P.E.R.A. a very important fringe bene- fit and, largely in expectation of receiving this pension, I have continued to work for the City of Edina, rather than accept two other positions which paid substantially higher salaries than I have received here. I am now sixty years old -- and had hoped, with the expected P.E.R.A. bene- fits, Social Security, and interest on my deferred compensation plan, to be able to remain in my home of thirty years after my retirement. I, along with other employees of the City of Edina, will greatly appreci- ate your efforts to correct these proposed changes which we consider to be highly discriminatory. Sincerely yours, Florence B. Hallberg Edina City Clerk
