We have announced this hearing by way of an article in the non -legal section of the newspaper as well as individual mailed notices to most of the civic and neighborhood associations in the City. This year, as opposed to past years, most of the citizen participation activities . required in conjunction with Community Development.funds will take place at the county level. You will recall that the Council appointed an Edina resident to the county Citizen Advisory Committee to take part in the citizen.participation process. As a result,;the Council is required.to conduct only one hearing on Community Development funds this year rather than two or three as was required in past years. However, if interest is expressed on November 20, 1978, the • Council may wish to conduct a second hearing on December 4, 1978. As in 1977, the use of Community Development funds is limited to a very narrow range of activities.which fall into three general categories: 1. Activities which directly benefit low and moderate income persons; e.g. housing rehabilitation and land acquisition for low and moderate income housing 2. Improvement projects in areas containing a majority of low and moderate income persons; e.g. parks, utilities, and other public works 3. Exceptions; e.g. elimination of slums and blight A major change in the Community Development regulations for 1978 is the eligibility of using Community Development funds for special assessment relief. At present, we have not received any rules regarding a special assessment relief program (e.g. income requirements, project eligibility, etc.). However, we believe that a program similar to the housing rehabilitation program could be established. This could be particularly beneficial for the Morningside improvements if eligible. To date, we have received one suggestion for the use of Community Development funds in Year V. A church has asked for funds to construct a handicapped access to their church building. We have determined that this project would be.eligible for Community Development funds. Although no specific request has been received, a developer has submitted an application for subsidized family housing in western Edina. This project, if approved, would require a land write.down which could be funded with Community Development funds.

November 16, 1978 Recently, the Council conducted a public hearing and amended the Year IV Com-. munity Development application to include the Morningside School Acquisition and development project as an eligible Community Development activity.. To date, however, Year IV funds have not been reallocated for this project. It should be noted that this project was established as a multi -year activity. Therefore, the City will be able to recover costs incurred by this project in 1978 during subsequent years. Staff suggests the following reallocation of Year IV funds due to the Morningside project: Year IV Budget Housing Land Acquisition 64,306 Land Acquisition Administration 5,000 Housing Rehab 70,000 Rehab Administration 12,000 Handicapped.Access 5,000 50th and France 76,000 .Comprehensive Plan. 15,000 Morningside School 0 Recommended Reallocation 55,306 5,000 23,000 3,000 5,000 76,000 15,000 65,000 For preliminary discussion purposes, staff suggests,,the following Year V budget: Year V Housing Land.Acquisition $ 95,000 Housing Rehab $ 30',000.

Q MEMORANDUM TO: Ken Rosland, City Manager FROM: Harold Sand, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: Frank Kreiser Realty Appeal from the Board of Appeals and Adjustments. . City Council Hearing: October 16, 1978. The attached June 6, 1978 memorandum to the HRA explains the impact of the expansion of floor area at 50th and France on available parking. The memo recommends that expansion to a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.0 be permitted using public parking to satisfy the parking requirement. Expansion in excess of 1.0 FAR to the maximum 1.5 FAR would require additional private parking to satisfy the parking requirement. This concept was recommended by the HRA and accepted by the Board of Appeals and Adjustments. The Edina Theater and Frank Kreiser Realty were granted parking variances to expand their building to a Floor Area Ratio of 1.0 on August 24, 1978. Mr. Kreiser is appealing this decision because the proposed addition to his building would have increased the Floor Area Ratio from 0.66 to 1.46 and was not permitted. A separate packet with all the minutes and reports relative to this matter is enclosed. HS: jt 10 -12 -78 11 D-10 RAN DUM June 6, 1978 TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Gordon L. Hughes, Executive Director SUBJECT: Expansion Potential at 50th and France Staff has further reviewed the potential for expansion of existing businesses at 50th and France. This matter which was discussed at past H.R.A. meetings has been prompted by the request of Frank Kreiser Realty to expand its existing 4000 square foot office building to 8800 square feet. Summary of .Facts A.- At present, Ordinance No. 811 -A61 states that 1) build- ings which existed at the time of the enactment of the Redevelopment Plan may utilize the public parking areas to satisfy their existing parking re- quirements; and 2) areas identified by the Plan as sites for'new building infill may utilize the public parking areas to satisfy their future parking requirements; however 3) existing buildings which expand may not utilize the public parking to satisfy their additional parking requirement but must pro- vide their own parking. In most cases, this ordinance effectively precludes the expansion of existing buildings at 50th and France. B. "Insufficient parking" was the most frequently stated problem expressed in a Businessmen's Census compiled in conjunction with the 50th and France Plan in 1974. As a result, the improvement of the public-park- ing supply was a primary objective of the 50th and France Plan. A secondary objective of the Plan was to increase the viabi-ity and variety of goods and services offered by way of private building rehabilitation and a selected program of new building infill. These two objectives were obviously interrelated in that the increased intensification of the area with additional commercial floor area would increase the parking demand. Therefore, extensive studies were undertaken to analyze and fine tune the relationship between available parking (both existing and proposed) and existing and proposed commercial/ office development. Based upon these studies, a net addition of about 50,000 square feet of retail floor area and 30,000 square feet of office floor area was proposed to be constructed on under - utilized sites and /or sites contain- ing obsolete or under - utilized structures. Public parkin; was also increased HRA Memorandum - June 6, 1978 Page 2 - and improved in the area commensurate with the additional commercial floor area. C. Based upon these studies, it was determined that an overall parking demand of about 3.2 parking stalls per 1000 square feet of floor area was possible. In that the.Zoning Ordinance requires 7 stalls /1000 s.f. in commercial zones and 5 stalls /1000 s.f. in office zones, staff was very concerned that the proposed parking ratio was too conservative. How- ever, due to the characteristics of the 50th and France Area, we now believe that the 3.2 stalls /1000 s.f. ratio is proper based upon recent surveys. D. Presently, the only readily available method of in- creasing the supply of parking on the Edina side of the project would be the construction of an additional level on the southside ramp. This would provide an additional 130 spaces. Other means of increasing parking would be limited to the construe: ion of additional ramps or the provision of parking in 11inrea- polis which appears to be several years in the future. E. Properties were assessed for the 50th and France Improve- ments based upon the potential building size allowed by the Plan. Credits were granted for parking provided by individual businesses. F. The Edina Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum FAR of 1.5 and requires 7 parking spaces /1000 s.f. of commercial floor area and 5 park- ing spaces /1000 s.f. of office floor area. Parking Impact of Expansion A. Based upon recent surveys, staff has determined that about 130 public parking stalls are presently under- utilized. Construction if an additional level on the southside ramp will provide about 130 more .stalls. This, approximately 260 parking spaces are available for future construction. B. Complete occupancy of existing buildings plus construc- tion of buildings allowed by the Plan will produce approximately 65,000 square feet of retail /office floor area. Assuming a parking ratio of 3.2 spaces/ 1000 s.f. this occupancy /construction will utilize about 210 parking spaces. Therefore, approximntely 50 public parking spaces will be available for the expansion of businesses not identified as having such a potential by the Plan. 41RA Memorandum - June 6, 1978 • Page 3 C. Staff opines that about 14 existing buildings are 22ssible sites for expansion (Appendix 1). If all such buildings expanded to a FAR of 1.0, a net addition of approximately 70,000 S.F. would result. Assuming a parking ratio of 3.2/1000 s.f., an additional 225 parking spaces. would be required. If all such buildings expanded to a FAR of 1.5, a net addition of approximately 170,000 s.f. would result. This would require an additional 540 parking spaces. D. Obviously, all businesses will. not want to expand. Due to the age and utilization of their present buildings, staff believes that perhaps 7 buildings are more probable expansion sites (Appendix 2). The expansion of these buildings to a FAR of 1.0 would result in a net addition of about 19, 000,s.f.. Assuming a parking ratio of 3.2 /1000.s.f., an addition - A .60 spaces would be required. Expansion to a -FAR of 1.5 would result in a net addition of 48,.275 s.f. This would require an additional 154 spaces. Recommendation Staff advises, therefore, that.a policy be adopted by the H.R.A. and appropriate ordinances adopted by the City, which would allow existing buildings to expand to a FAR of 1.0 and satisfy their increased parking demand by way of the public parking facilities. Furthermore, build- ings may expand to a FAR of 1.5 (which is the maximum allowed by the Zoning Ordinance), but only if such businesses provide private parking supporting F that floor area exceeding an FAR of 1.0. This private parking should be based on 3.2 spaces /1000 s.f. Concerns A. Such a policy and ordinances must apply equally to all buildings in the 50th and France Area. Staff has opined that some buildings may be more likely to expand than others. However, this may or may not be the case. B. Some existing buildings produce a significant parking demand at off -peak hours, e.g. the Edina Theater. Conversion of this building to a peak -hour commercial building (which is permissible) would greatly in- crease parking demand. C. The parking ratio of 3.2 spaces /1000 s.f. is considerably lower than that required by the Zoning Ordinance. Utilizing this ratio at 50th and France may present enforcement problem, in other areas of the city. IIRA Memorandum - June 6, 1978 Page 4 D. This parking ratio is based upon the entire 50th and France area. Thus, the location and convenience of parking is not considered as it relates to the expansion policy. E. Properties identified in the Plan as having expansion potential paid for the privilege by way of the .special assessment process. Other business did not pay for an expansion potential. Thus, an inequity from the standpoint of special assessments would result. F. On the other hand, all businesses.at 50th and France are zoned C -2 which allows a FAR of 1.5. Some businesses were allowed to ex- pand to this FAR by virtue of the Plan and were allowed to satisfy their . parking requirements via public parking weas. Remaining businesses were not allowed this privilege. Thus, an "equal protection" problem would exist if expansions were not allowed. F. A primary goal of the Plan was to. maintain 50th and France as a neighborhood shopping area. Large expans.Lons'of existing building would tend to vary from this goal. GLH:nr 6 -2 -78 MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Appeals PROM: Gordon Hughes, HRA Executive Director SUBJECT: Summary of HRA Action Regarding Frank Kreiser Expansion The HRA considered the subject expansion at its April, May, June and July meetings. In that this request is the first proposed expansion of an existing building in the Redevelopment Area, the HRA recognized that its actions would establish a policy for future expansion plans. The HRA-thoroughly considered the beneficial and detrimental aspects of the subject expansion as well as future expansions. Their deliberations are documented in the minutes attached to the Board of Appeals Staff Report. The HRA, concluded that the demand for expansions of existing businesses would not be excessive in upcoming years. Furthermore, it believed that �he Red Barn site would not be redeveloped at an early date. This redevelopment would significantly. increase the parking demand in the area. Therefore, the HRA recommended that the proposed expansion to an F.A.F. of 1.5 should be considered favorably by the Board of Appeals.

Part of Lot 49, Auditor's Subdivision No. 172. Refer to: attached plan and composite staff report. Request: 29 car parking variance. The existing Frank Kreiser Real Estate Office has 4,000 square feet of floor area on the ground floor and a full use basement. The rear portion of the lot is used for eight parking spaces. Mr. Kreiser is proposing to construct a two- story, 4,800 square foot, office addition on the rear of the present building. The addition will be 1/2 story higher than the present building. The rear parking will be reduced to 3 spaces. The subject property is zoned C -2 Commercial District and is contained within the 50th and France Redevelopment District. The.present struc- ture requires 20 parking stalls and provides eight. The 12 stall def icite is satisfied by public parking. The addition requires 24 parking stalls and eliminates five stalls for a total deficite of 29 stalls which is the subject of this variance. HS:nr 8 -15 -78 EDINA BOARD OF APPEALS STAFF REPORT August 17, 1978 B -78 -43 Composite staff report attachment. B -78 -44 REFER TO: attached ordinance No. 811 -A61 and April 20, May 10, June 6 and July 7, 1978 memos and HRA minutes. The 50th and France Commercial Area Plan has succeeded in generating a strong demand for additional space to accommodate new and existing businesses. The staff has received inquiries about expansion of buildings in addition to the two requests before the Board. The principal impediment to expansion not anticipated by the plan is the lack of parking. The potential for expansion, the problems with expansion and various equities and alternatives are discussed in the attached HRA minutes and reports. It is too soon to judge with accuracy, however, the best estimates indicate the expansion included in the redevelopment plan will utilize all the apparent surplus space in the public parking ran:). The .,single most important problem considered in the redevelopment concept was the parking deficiency in the area. When businessmen were surveyed about the problems in the area 51 percent of the complaints related to parking deficiencies and only three percent of the complaints cited an inability to expand as a problem. There was a concentrated effort on the part of the staff to encourage expansion because the feasibility and success of the tax increment project was dependent on substantial improvements. The demand was limited, and the plan responded to the demand. The attached ordinance, No. 811 -A61, was adopted to clarify development rights where publically owned parking is constructed to satisfy private parking re- quirements. Paragraphs two and three apply specifically to the proposals considered here. The ordinance, in effect, establishes the non - conforming status of present structures and allows them tc. be replaced, but it requires new structures and additions not anticipated in the redevelopment plan to provide additional parking according to the requirements in the commercial zone. The ordinance anticipates modifications to the development plan from time to time to accomodate expansion in the district. Recommendation: The staff would encourage expansion in the 50th and France area within a controlled framework that does not negate the carefully considered develop- ment plan and parking ratios. Edina Board of-Appeals page 2 B -78 -43 . B -78 -44 August 16, 1978 The primary test for a variance is the correction of.an unnecessary hardship that is created by the provisions of.the ordinance. The parking requirements are longstanding provisions under which the present owners have acquired their interests in the property. The redevelopment plans have not imposed any additional development constraints on the property. A request for expansion capabilities could have been accommodated in the redevelopment plan if voiced prior.to the sizing of the parking ramps. Another primary consideration with respect to variances is the equal appli- cation of the law. Non- conforming conditions, as the subject case, inherently have the appeararrce of working unequally on various properties. The redevelop - merit project along with the ramp assessment have equalized these inequities. A variance, at this time, without a commensurate assessment would be unfair to other businesses that have accepted the assessment and desire to maintain . adequate parking. • There are a large number of properties in the district that have a similar - inability to create additional parking stalls to facilitate expansion. The staff does not perceive any distinguishing characteristics here that would prevent the establishment of a precedent that would eventually cause the �r parking to floor area ratio in the area to fall to an unacceptable level. Therefore, the staff cannot recommend approval of the variances, under the present circumstances. The staff can see the following possible alternatives. 1. "Bank" the development demand until a new area plan becomes feasible. 2. Attempt to coordinate development in Edina with the potential parking expansion in Minneapolis. 3. Adopt a policl to allow a transfer of development rights from.unused expansion areas in the plan. 4. Modify the redevelopment plan to establish a time limit on the use of development rights and then redistribute to available proposals. The staff would recommend that any approval of expansion plans in the area is subject to a condition requiring conformity to the 50th and France design .framework. The additions to the Theatre and the Frank Kreiser Real Estate office should be integrated architecturally with the present structure and the entire structure surfaced and treated with materials that conform, to the design framework and zoning ordinance standards.

Nays: None Motion Carried. III. Recommendations and Reports: A. Proposed Building Expansion. Frank Kreiser Realty Mr. Hughes stated that members should carefully consider this. expansion proposal because of i-ts implications for further expansion in the 50th and France Area not anticipated in the plan. Parking and traffic projections of the plan did not anticipate expansion of this building. Mr. Hughes introduced sir. Frank Kreiser to explain his proposal and the need for extra space. Mr. Kreiser explained that the addition would approximately double the useable floor space within the building, from 2000 to 4000 square feet. The expansion would be a split story to the rear. The expansion would result in the loss of four par':-'n- stalls in the rear of the building. Mr. Hughes referred to the area plan commenting that buildings existing befornthe plan and building contemplated by the plan could satisfy parking require- ments with the ramp, however, expansion not contemplated in the plan could not use the ramp to satisfy parking requirements. Mr. Hughes suggested, noting that the plan did not anticipate area expansion, that the future of the area be carefully considered. In response to Mr. Rixe, Mr. Hughes said that parking was nearing capacity at this tiLi., but that traffic /parking surveys could be done to make sure. Mr. Rixe stated that expansion would be Food for the area. H.R.A. Minutes Page 2 April 20, 1978 O• In response to Mr. Freeburg, Mr'. Kreiser stated that all, additional office space would be for his own use, and, further, that the 5 -10 new employees would be. administrative personnel and not sales people. In response to Mr. Rixe, Mr. Hughes stated that it was difficult to determine the additional parking deniand the expansion would create. It is possible for demand to range from 10 -23 additional spaces according to current codes. Brief discussion followed on parking demand with Mr. Kreiser stating that the new demand, created by his expansion, would be very small. A discussion followed concerning the propriety of the HRA considering this kind of proposal. 'Mr. Rixe felt that such matters could be better handled by the Board of Appeals. i11r. Hughes and sir. Erickson both said that the expansion was not possible under present ordinances and thatarea plan amendments would be necessary to accoirunodate any expansion not anticipated in the plan. Discussion shifted back to the building plans with members suggesting that Mr. Kreiser consider alternate plans which would eliminate fewer parking spaces. In re ^ponse to Mr. Kreiser's question why he could not expand and Red Barn could, Mr. Hughes referred to the provisions of the area plan. Mr. Greer stated that the point is to expand and strengthen the area, and the HRA should not stop expansion. Mr. Hughes stated that a further consideration should be the method by which the properties within.the district were assessed. Assessments were based on ultimate (projected) use of a property and not the square footage of the lots. For instance, the Red Barn site was assessed for a 30,000 square foot office building as shown on the plan, whereas, the Kreiser building was only assessed on existing area. In response to Mr. Freeburg, Mr. Hughes indicated he felt the potential for expansion was almost unlimited, and that careful study should be devoted to the effects of expansion and its resultant parking demand Mr. 1Iu.hes asked that. he ha,,x-- additional time to study the situation. Staff was directed to report at the :lay 2, 1978 meeting with additional facts. Mr.. Rixe asked staff to investigate how assessments would be handled considerin, the fact that properties were assessed on the basis of their ultimate use within the area. Mr. Freeburg asked staff to inquire as to the plans for the Minneapolis side, specifically if they int0nd to add parking facilities. 110 further requested that Mr. Kreiser' consider alternate expansion proposals. Mr. Kreiser indicated lie would do so. Mr. Erickson stated it would be necessary to look at the ordinances and the area plan if expansion within the area were desired. 0 s MEMORA,yDUM, May 10, 1978 TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Gary Winter, Planning Department SUBJECT: 50th and France Expansion Potential and Tax Increment Impact Staff was directed by the H.R.A. to investigate four issues associated with the 50th and France Area. This investigation is a result of the request of certain businesses to expand their facilities and therefore increase the number of employees and patrons seeking to park in the area. The H.R.A. requested that staff look at the policy of (1) permitting existing businesses to expand and .(2) the impact of this expansion upon the demand for parking in the area and upon the tax increment financing district. An explanation of the tax structure and property valuation methodology in the 50th and France Area is provided in order to determine the level of tax increments captured. Staff was also instructed to (3) study current parking demand and (4) the plans of the City of Minneapolis relative to providing parking in the 50th and France Area. The Impact of Expansion of the Generation of Tax Increments The property tax structure in the 50th and France Redevelopment Area is characterized by a basic set of precepts for valuing land and buildings. Land is valued according to location relative to pedestrian nodes, parking, and centrality. The highest land values are found on 50th Street in the vicinity of the 50th and France Building and Twin City.Federal. Buildings are valued according to current use and the condition of the structure. Only special assessments on the property to finance some of the improvement costs associated with the 50th and France 'Redevelopment Project are based on the ultimate use of the property. The Steiner property at 5026 France Avenue that is currently being leased by the Red Barn Restaurant is an example of a property that is being, assessed for improvements (but not general property taxes) at a level based on its highest or ultimate use. While special assessments . will be affecLed by additions to existing structures only if a new assessment schedule is insti.tuLcd,general property taxes will be affected by additions to existing strUctures. Expansion will cause land values and building, values to increase and have favorable tax increment raini.ficaLions. Taking Frank Kreiser's proposal. to add 5000 square feet of office space to his present building at 5036 France Avenue, Memorandum 11. R. A. Page 2 May 10, 1978 staff projects an estimated market value.of approxim.itely $150,000 for this expansion. This translates to an assessed valuation of $6.4,500 and tax revenues equal to $5,769. This sum would be captured in its entirely by the Edina ii.R.A:' as a tax increment for the retirement of bonded indebtedness. Other additions or expansion would likewise produce tax revenues that would be remitted by the Hennepin County Auditor to the special redevelopment fund of the H.R.A. Parking Impacts Expansions and additions to existing structures would, in many instances, eliminate existing parking spaces and would increase the number of employees in and patrons of the 50th and France Area. Currently, the ramps provide 176 parking stalls for employee use. Since Section 3 of Ordinance 1232, An Ordinance Regulating the Use of Municipal Parking Facilities, allows the issuance of up to 400 parking stickers for employees, the City has opened the top deck of the south side ramp for employee overflow parking. Staff surveys c the area have revealed no more than 30 vacancies in the north side ramp in the general parking area and no more than 5 vacancies in the employee contract area. The south side ramp surveys have revealed a minimum of 82 total vacancies in general parking areas and the employee overflow area and 15 vacancies in the employee contract area. The combined minimum number of vacancies totals approximately 132 parking stalls. Currently, there appears to be adequate parking to serve the employee.and clientele needs of the area. This assumption will remain true once the 50th and France Building is completely inhabited, Fox Herfurth completes the expansion into the former beauty salon next to the Fox Herfurth offices on 4912 St.', and the Carrillon Building is constructed and leased at 3921 west 50th Street. This new construction and renovation will require an additional 117 parking stalls. This figure was arrived at by applying newly constructed and vacant square footage figures associated with the three projects listed above to the parking requirements set forth in the Edina Zoning Ordinance for Office and Commercial space. liowever, there currently remains approxiiiately 3U00 square feet of vacant office space on the second floor of the Americana State Bank at 5050 France Avenue. This translates into an additional 15 parking spaces bringing to 132, the total parking stall demand . resulting from new construction and the occupancy of existing vacant office and retail square footage in the 50th and France Area. In light of the preceeding parking demand discussion, it would appear that any additions or expansions of existing office or .retail structures in the area should be closely monitored relative to the parking demand they create. Frank Kreiser's proposal to add an additional 5000 square feet of floor area would mean an additional 25 parking spaces according to the Edina Zoning Ordinance. This additional parking demand would result in a parking deficiency on some given day assuming current minimum parking .stall vacancy figures are applied. Additional expansions of 3000 to 5000 square feet would increase parking demand by 15 to 25 stalls. According to the Zoning Ordinance, the construction of a new commercial/ retail facility on the Steiner Property (currently occupied by the Red Barn Restaurant) at 5024 France Avenue would require the provision of additional public parking. Therefore, an expansion policy closely tied to limitations on parking would appear to be a necessity. Minneapolis: Policy Regarding 50th and France The final issue to be considered is the policy of the City of Minneapolis regarding the 50th and France Area. The City of Minneapolis Traffic Engineering and Planning Department is currently engaged in preliminary studies of the demand for parking in the area. The Edina Planning Staff has been.contacted regarding the capacities of the Edina 11unicipal Parking Ramps and the current and expected demand for parking in the area. Staff has.indicated that the ramps are at approximately 80% capacity now and will be very close to full capacity by 1980. Thirteenth Ward Alderwoman, Charlee Hoyt, has expressed an interest in providing more parking for the 50th and France Area. Her staff is currently investigating the possibility of securing an Economic Development Administration Grant (E.D.A.) from the Department of Commerce to cover the cost of the construction of a parking ramp. E.D..A. Grants are available to communities having unemployment rates greater than 6% for construction projects and other job stimuli. However,, it should be emphasized that 11inneapolis is only in the preliminary investigation stage and has not made any commitments to the area until parking. demand, business and residential need studies, and economic feasibility studies are completed. The Edina II.R.A. cannot expect a decision from Pinneapolis committing itself to providing additional parking for iIinneapol:is merchants and patrons of the area until a determination is made relative to the availability of Federal money for such a project. II: VI: k 5/5/78 BRA Minutes Page 8 . May 10, 1.978 f 1 Chairman Freeburg stated that Ryan Construction Co. has acted in good faith and he felt that the City and the HRA would agree with him. With Ryan's good faith and with our desire to have some low income u,iits in the City. to r„ect social goals, we would press forward in, whatever way possible to rake the project a success. He stated that he knew the Mayor and Council wanted to take this step in regard to the deed and the Metropolitan Council and he noted that he was optomistic - that it would all work out by 'May 15. lie recouLmended that Ryan let the 11M approve it ting until after the ;Metropolitan Council meeting and then taking the subject to wai matter to the City Council on May 15th, if necessary. Since there were no further questions or co mments, '111r. Freeburg moved the following: The Chairman and Executive Director are hereby authorized to negotiate the final terms and conditions of the Redevelopment Contract and H.R.A. Deed with the developer and the Minnesota. Housing Finance Agency, and the Chairman is hereby authorized to meet with representatives of the Metropolitan Council to determine if the City will receive credit for allocation of Community Development funds even if this Project is not restricted to low /moderate housing. Upon.such final terms and conditions being worked out, and the Chairman receiving asurances satisfactory to him that the City will receive such credit based on the good faith efforts in proceeding with this Project without such restriction, the Chairman and Secretary are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Redevelopment Contract and 1}.R.A. Deed, in the form persented at this meeting and with the final to -:as and conditions as worked out by the Chairman and Executive Director, and to execute and deliver such other documents and take such other action as are necessary to complete the transactions contemplated by the Redevelopment Contract. Mr. Shaw seconded the motion. Mr. Nelson asked if we are in a position to say, credits or not credits, that it is a well conceived project and we will go along with it anyway as a civic venture? Mr. Shaw said that even if we did do that, it would be a long time before 'we could really get started on the project. Upon roll call, the following voted: Ayes: Mr. Freeburg, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Bredesen. Nays: None Motion Carried. Mr. Erickson asked that he be authorized to continue to work with Ryan Construction Co. documents making revisions as necessary. Mr. .Freeburg gave that authorization to Mr. Erickson. IV.. Reports: A. Buildin &Lxpansion Pol.ici.es, 50th and France. Mr. llughes reported that Mr. Gary Winter had prepared material for the 11P,A's review relative to the expansion of existing businesses in the "50th and France area; the impact of this expansion upon the clei;and for parking and the tax increment district; study current parking, dcmand and plans of the City of Minneapolis relative to providing parking in the 50th and France area. 11RA Minutes Page 9 May 10, 1978 Generally, expansion will cause land values and building values to increase and have favorable tax increment ramifications. Ilowever, the problem we have is the one addressing parking in the area. Expansions and additions to existing structures would, in some cap >es, eliminate 50tliparking d France AreaWOUThe increase comUinedthe number of employees in and patrons minimum number of vacancies is approximately 132 parking stalls. Currently, there seems to be adequate parking to serve the employee and clientele needs of the area. This assumption will remain true once the 50th and France Building is completely inhabited, Fox lierfurth completes the expansion, and the Carrillon Building, the forn;er liquor store, is constructed and leased. The new construction and renovation will require an additional 117 parking stalls. There currently remains approximately 3000 square feet of vacant office space on the second floor of the Americana State Bank. Therefore, this translates into an additional 15 parlcinC, aces, bringing to 132, the total parking stall demand sp resulting from new construction and the occupancy of existing vacant office and retail square footage in the 50th and France area. We are on a very fine line and when we get to full development of the 50th and France area with those buildings anticipated to be built excluding Red Barn, we would approximate the capacity in the ramps. It is our feeling that with the construction of the new office /retail building on the Red Barn site, we woulca excced capacity and that would trigger another level in the southside ramp. Another level would provide approximately 130 parking spaces in the area. We have contacted representatives of the City of Minneapolis Traffic Engineering and Planning Depart- ment and they are currently engaged in preliminary studies of the demand for parking in the area. Mr.,Winter indicated that Alderwoman Charlee Hoyt is interested in providing more parking for this area and her staff is currently investigating the possibility of securing an Economic Development Administration Grant from the Department of Commerce. 11r. Hughes presented a graphic showing the square footage existing on some of the 50th and France stores, about four of the properties in his mind, one of which is Mr. Kricser's building which are likely candidates for expansion at some point in time, one of them being Lucille Smith an3 some of the smaller stores. It is assumed that these buildings would be increased beyond the 1'i -floor area ratio allowed by ordinance and at that point we find an approximate net addition of floor area of approximately 30,000 square feet which would require approximately 200 parking stalls. We are faced with a situation that with all of the anticipated building, inc].udinIted Barn, we will be short of parking spaces and a third level would Uc Wended on the southside ramp. It we go to a policy of allowing expansions, which is not allowed at present by ordinance, we �•�ould he further adding to that pr.obler. of which spaces. If Minneapolis did not provide parking, we would have to go to other methods of providing it. Ile stated that lie is concerned about two things, first having to do anot:hcr redevelopment project at 50th and France before this one is paid off and sccc!ndly, the first c::pansion proposal (i.e. Mr. Krieser's) is going to set thc� tone for the rest of: the buildings in the area and i.t �.�as emphasized. last time that we should be very careful. on the first one because that will set the standard. If we allow A17. Krieger to expand his building, it is reasonable to expect- that the other building owners %,,ill want to do likewise. 1}RA ldinutes Page 10 Mkiy 10, 1978 Mr. Winter reported that the Post. Office lot either had post office vehicles in it or clientele of the post office. They do have about 34 spaces there and about half of them were available at the time of the surveys. The bank lot is a private lot and it is posted for bank customers only. The assessment of the area was based on ultimate use and in the case of the Red Barn, which is being assessed for improvements but not general property taxes at the potential highest use of the property. Chairman Freeburg asked i1r. Krieser if he had anything to offer regarding the proposed expansion of his building. i 't Mr. Krieser stated that he had talked to a builder and the builder said that -if we add to the top of the building, it would be easier to start over. As far as building out and over our existing parking lot, that can be done. He also. stated that he had not had an opportunity to discuss some of these matters with Gordon Hushes, but he wanted to ]:Hoer if existing buildings are being restricted from expansion in this area, for example the Dickey building on France, Fox Herfurth building on 492 Street, as well as the Five -0 complex, which is really an extension of the old Lund's store and some future remodeling at the Red Barn, and the building at the old liquor store site. Mr. Hughes replied that he thought the Land's remodeling was done at the same time the plan was drawn. Regarding the others mentioned, Fox Herfurth is not classified as an expansion since they are remodeling and expanding into an existing building. The others mentioned are identified in the 50th and France plan with the exception of the Dickey building as areas of building where square footage is specifies All the others were identified as potential expansions and the property owners in each case are assessed accordingly. The Red Barn is not assessed as a restaurant but as a retail office building of 30,000 square feet in size. Mr. Nelson stated that this is not a one stop shopping area, it is a multi stop _shopping area and Mr. Krieser's business does not use the same number of parking spaces that a typical office building does. Ile agreed that we have to be very careful of any precedent we set in this area. Chairman Freebuerg stated that the major point of this discussion is to attempt to get Minneapolis to do something about additional parking. Mr. Shaw inquired if we could get Sinneapolis to help finance an additional floor on the southside ramp. Mr. Hughes noted that at the time the plan was to go into effect, there wasn't a great deal of expansion discussion with the merchants. They were overwhelmed with the amount of construction that was to be happening around them. Mr. T:rickson noted that the matter wns discussed and the infills that were provided in the plan were to turn to productive use land that was odd shaped or land locked or located in positions that really nothing could be done with it. We wanted a certain fra11101 "ork that would encourage development of those projects and that is %,,ttat it was attinied to. There was some concern about additional expansion creatiil; more parking demand and forcin,, ^, those to provide their own. Ile didn't �` know to %,!h at extrnt it was ac) dressed specifically to the business comununity, but the 4.

BRA, Minutes ..rage 11 May 10, 1978 Chairman Freeburg asked Mr. Hughes if he could prepare a more detailed plan showing the maximum number of allowable infills. He inquired if the Minneapolis businessmen have their own group. Mr. Winter stated that there is a group that meets and they have been meeting with the traffic engineer from Minneapolis, but they are still in the discussion stage and have not yet chosen a site nor met with the residents of the area.. After some additional discussion, Mr. Freeburg stated that the HRA would address this matter at the June meeting. V. Adjournment. Mr. Shaw moved that the May 10, 1978 II.R.A. Meeting be adjourned.

Approval of the 1 -lay 1.0, 1978, H.R.A. Minutes. Mr. Shaw moved for approval. of the H.R.A. minutes as submitted. Mr. Bredesen seconded the motion. Upon roll call the following voted: Ayes: Mr. Freeburg, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Bredesen. Nays: None. Motion carried. III. Recommendations and Reports: A. Exy).ansion Potential at 50th and France - Fran'.: Kreiser Realty. Mr. Hughes said the H.R.A. should have received a memorandum summariz- ing facts discussed on the expansion potential at 50th and France. lie said presently Ordinance No. 811 -A61, %.hich regulates parking at 50th and France, essentially discourages building expansion for it states 1) that buildings that existed at the time of enactment of the Redevelopment Plan may use the public parking ramps, 2) areas identified by the Plan for new buildings and expansion, such as the old liquor store site, will be able to satisfy their parking demands by way of the parking ramps; however, 3) existing buildings which expand will have to provide their own parking, and 75 percent of the existing buildings are expansion oriented. Mr. Hughes also made a second point that insufficient parking was the most frequently stated problem in a 1979 Bu:inc-3smen's Census on the 50th ana France area. Therefore, public parking improvement was a major objective as well as the provision of a variety of goods and services as well as new building infill. A point was made in the memorandum that parking and addi- tional coliniercial and office space in the 50th and France area are closely interrelated. There was a net addition of 50,000 square feet of cor-mmercial floor area acid 30,000 square feet of office floor area proposed to be con- structed. Mr. llughes said when the 50th and France plan was designed, 3.2 parking stalls per 1000 sgiiare feet was determined for both commercial and office space. In comparison, the Zoni.n <j Ordinance requires 7 stalls per 1000 square feet in co!,,-a:icrcial :ones and 5 -,tall-- per 1.000 square feet- in office zones. lie said this is essentially gror:.; square footage. At that time, 3.2 stalls was con!Adered somewhat const= rvative; however, that number now seem; Lldc(JUat'C. miwi,FS OF THE 6 -7 -78 ll.R.A. MLETING Page ?. Mr. liughe� said that at this point, the only means readily available to expand the parking would be through the construction of an additional. level on the southsidc ramp,. which woul,' provide another 130 parking stalls. The only other way to provide additional parking would be through the construc- tion of a ramp on the X19' Street surface lot or a provision of parking in Minneapolis, which may be several years in the future. lie also pointed out that special assessments for the project at 50th and France amounted to 20 percent of the project cost based upon the potential building size allowed by the Plan. Lastly, he said the Zoning Ordinance allows a maxi- mum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.5. Mr. Hughes said that presently there are 130 public stalls under- utilized at the corner, and the construction of a I:cw level on the southside ramp would add an additional 130 parking stalls, resulting in a total of 260 spaces which are readily available for future construction. He said all the buildings are not totally occupied (e.g. second floor of the Americana State Bank). Therefore, with this occupancy plus additional construction would add approximately 65,000 square feet of retail /office floor area. Taking that 65,000 square foot figure and the 3.2 parking stalls per 1000 square feet, this additional occupancy and construction will utilize 210 parking spaces, thus theoretically leaving 50 spaces available for expansion. Mr. Hughes said it appeared to staff that approximately 14 buildings are possible sites for expansion. Computations say that if all 14 buildings expanded to a floor_area._of._l._G,.. a net addition of about 70,000 square feet would result and, assuming a 3.2/1000 square feet parking ratio, an addi- tional 225 stalls would be necessary. Also, if all the buildings. expanded to a FAR of 1.5, an additional 170,000 square feet would result, requiring 540 more spaces. lie further said of the 14 possible building expansions, only 7 are probable expansions. He referred to Appendix 2 to the memoran- dum designating these 7. if these buildings expanded to an FAR of 1.0, there would be an additional 1.9,000 square feet, resulting in a demand for 60 more parking stalls. If an FAR of 1.5 were assumed, the result would be 48,275 square feet more, requiring an additional 154 stalls. Mr. Hughes said staff recommended a policy be adopted by the H.R.A. which would alloy: buildings to expand to -, FAR of 1.0 and satisfy their parking by way of ramps. Also, the buildings snould be allowed to expand to 1.5, but only if they can provide private parking to support the additional FAR exceeding 1.0. Mr. Hughes said the final portion of the mc.,ior.andum listed the con- cerns. First of all, a policy and ordinance would have to be applied equally throughout the 50th and France area. Some buildings are more likely to expand than others. Secondly, some businesses operate during peak hours, and if these wore changed to increased peak hour business, the parking de- mand would also bo increased. Thirdly, the parking ratio of 3.2/1000 :square feet- is considerably lower than what is required by the Zoning Ordinance in other areas of the city. Mr. ]lughes further said the parking ratio is based on the 50th and France area.as a whole and does not take the location and convenience of IN XIINLITlis OF 7'11J. G -7 -78 Il. R. A. 1.11:ETING 1'age 3 parking into consideration. Also, there were incqu'it.ies concerned with special a�,scssnrents because only businesses who paid for the right to expand by w:jy of rpccial assessments have the right to expand. - Finally, all the businesses in the 50th and France area are zoned C-Z Commercial s Zone, which, according to the Zoning* Ordinance, allolos an FAR of 1.S. Some businesses, because of the Plan, can expand to this exten , while others cannot. Therefore, there is an equal protection problem which will exist if all businesses are not given the sane right. 7 +lso, the intent of the 50th and France Plan was to maintain a neighborhood shopping area and not a regional center. In response to Mr. Bredesen, 1.1r. }Iughes said there was no update as far as traffic counts are concerned. The reasons for the traffic problems is that the signal system has not yet been fully installed. In response to Mr. Freeburg, Ir. Ilughcs said they could not assess for a ramp which did not have immediate plans for construction. Also, %•:hen additional parking is needed due to expansion, a petition will be filed and there would be both improvement and assessment hearings. Mr. Freeburg wondered about the assessment process for those who had already paid special assessments for additional parking because of expan- sioil. Would tl;c;y pay accor.dincl to their FAR ratio? mr. llughes said that . at this point, that was how it would work. Mr. Hughes pointed out that if businesses were located on an alley way, they would have a good opportunity to provide private parking. In response to Rr. Freeburg, Mr. Hughes said in the past the City Attorney had given them the opinion they cannot unilaterally downzone property, but they could refer t-he question to him. Mr. Freeburg then asked if they could require a tract retain a particu- lar use. Mr. Hughes said a special use permit then becomes necessary which we do not have in our ordinance. It is a form of contract zoning. However, there is little likelihood the theater would convert to another use. To begin this type of zoning would start a precedent in other areas of the city. In regard to future additional parking, ",r.. Hughes said Minneapolis may have parking in the future, possibly through private ramps. Mr. Freeburg said he felt an FAR of 1.0 is adequate. Mr l:reiser said he is currently using 1/3 of his existing lot; therefore, his building to land proportion may be the smallest on the corner. A new building would result in just slightly more than 2/3 lot coverage. Mr. Hughes explained the existing building has one' story and utilizes the basement. The building is presently 4,000 :square feet and could be expanded to 6,000 square feet. 1•1r. P.reiser Fsaid there are other instances at the corner where bu:si.ncssmen begin utilizing their b,lF;emcnts after the parking r.a::ip was estt�lblishcd. mr.

R.A. 1.11,11 "PING Page 4 the floor area is 100 percent of the_ lot area. , Ile then said Mr. Y.reiser •� wished to expand to V800 square feet. This would be allowed in accord- ance with the new proposal., as long as he provided the parking necessary for an rAR over 1.0. Mr. Y.rei.ser said he was willing to participate in the special assessment on the existinn ramps. Ile said it sounded as if the redevelop- ment project- was done to provide additional parking, but that he thought the original intent was to upgrade the neighborhood and provide a better place to shop and better real estate values. Ile said other considerations are the traffic systems which were to be built around the shopping center; however, traffic is heavy. Mr. Hughes said that according to a survey taken, 51 percent of the problems in the 50th and France area were parking oriented, 22 percent pertained to traffic, 15 percent were environraerital, and 12 percent were miscellaneous or other types. I.1r. Freeburg said the greatest concerns are }seeping the neighborhood small and the traffic light. Air. Kreiser said when he purchased his property, he was told he could expand to a 1.5 FAR. Mr. Hughes said the entire 50th and France area is zoned C -2, with the exception of gas stations, which are zoned C -4,and a portion of First Edina Bank and the parking area by Lunds are zoned Automobile Parking Dis- trict. He said be::ause of the parking restrictions, etc., very few commer- cial areas in a C -2 zone have a FAR. of 1.5 priiiarily because of the parking spaces required. Also, the parking must be located within 500 feet from the front door of the business. Mr. Freeburg felt it was fair to limit the FAR to 1.0 because they had lessened the parking to 3.2 instead of the required 5 in the zoning Ordinance. Mr. lreiser said if the H.R.A. did not agree with the 1.5 FAR, could they grant a variance under the plan for his particular lot and allow him -to participate in the earlier special assessment. Mr. Hughes said the 11.11.A. must base their decision regarding the expansion on the existing parking available and not base it on the possibil- ity of additional parking in the future. Mir. Freeburg pointed out one level could be ended to the soutli side ramp; however, no additional levels could be placed on the north side ramp because of existing. ordinance and limita- tions on structure size. t,lr. Hughes said parking would be lost as a result of expansion. Mr. Greer said the businessmen want more business and felt it was illogical to deny them expansion rights. In response to Mr. Greer, mr. llughes said there is presently no parking problem in the area. Also, the reason for the delay in hutting up the traffic signals, lie said Minneapolis is financing a portion of them and have not yet received the hardware for them. Mr. Hughes said the II.R.A. could amend the plan by including the Krciser property as allowed expansion property. However, lie advised against t� MINUTES 01.' THE 6--7 -78 li.R.A. MY" `rING Page 5 it.' Mr. Bredescn felt the plan was too liberal and was opposed, to it. lie felt there was a difference beta-,c_-en the word "pros per" and the word "pros- perous" and that one cannot prosper if it is detr.imcntal,to the public. Mr. Shaer said we cannot takeaway what they have already paid for through assessments; however, we are not in a position to provide more parking unless we begin removing dwellings. If they insist on expansion, they should be told they have to provide their own parking. Mr. Greer expressed concern about the large distribution of the parking stickers and was wondering if the number per business could be minimized. Air. Gary winter, Planning Department, said the businessmen's associa- tion at 50th and France has said they would like to see more individuals purchase stickers but suggests there by only a limited parking area because many do not work the standard 8 to 5 working day when they would all require parking at the same time. Also, many of the real estate employees do not need stickers because they park in the ramp a shorter length of time. Mr. Freeburg suggested the employees attempt to use the bus, but Mr. Winter said the bus line is not set- up to run from suburb to suburb but rather from the suburbs to the downtown area. Air. Hughes said a possibility would be to make a drastic cutback on the distribution of stickers and change the time limit from 8 hours to 4 hours. Mr. Winter said the 50th and France association is now conducting a survey on the parking needed for employees, and that it should be .completed by their next meeting. Mr. Freeburg said the businessmen could take out a contract with a nearby church to use their parking lot for employees. Mir. Freeburg made a motion to remand the question of expansion to the businessmen's group at 50th and France with the added stipulation that the City Traffic Engineer supply his remarks on the maximum traffic potential and what influence expansion would have on it. B. Property Acquisition - Red Barn. Air. Hughes reported they had now closed on the Red Barn acquisition, and have not completed all the acquisitions necessary at the corner. He said they %.:ould advertise for bids on Friday of the week and that construc- tion would begin after July 4, 1978. C. Ryan Tov- nhouse Project. Afr. itughes said it was supposed to close ML 31, but that they did not get the closing d.ite from the lieu sine Finance Agency. The date should be around Juice 15, 1978; however, the City is all set on their side of the agreement. XV. l.ew mi sines s: July 7, 1978 MEMORANDUM T0: Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority FRO14: Gary Winter, Planning Department SUBJECT: Merchants' View on the Expansion Policy Alternatives in the 50th and France Area. At the June G, 1978, meeting of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority (H.R.A.), the H.R.A. recommended that a policy governing ex- pansions in the area should involve the businessmen and professionals in the 50th and France area. The remanded question was discussed by the 50th and '-rance Liaison Committee at a meeting attended by staff on June 19, 1978. Mr. Frank Neiser was also invited to the meeting and was in attendance. The Liaison Committee is comprised of three business owners and one business and property owner. The Liaison Committee considered the alternative of permitting expan- sion to tha 1.5 floor area ratio (F.A.R. ) allowed under the community commercial C -2 zoning classification. However, this alternative was considered to be unrealistic in light of the abolition of all employee parking associated with this alternative. The second alternative of limiting expansions to F.A.R. of 1.0 was considered - and a hybrid form of this policy for expansions of businesses was adopted. The Liaison Committee felt Mr. Kreiser and other business owners had been dealt with unequitably since some of the property owners in the area were allowed to expand beyond the 1.5 F.A.R. and satisfy parking requirements in the municipal parking ramps at 'the time the 50th and France Commercial Area plan was adopted. Mr. Kreiser and the Liaison Committee sighted the Steiner property occupied by the Red Barn, the Larsen Layer property occupied by the new 50th and France Building, the Lund property occupied by Christian Hairdressers, Carole's and the Children's General Store, and the former site of the Edina Liquor Store as excep- tions to the 1.5 F.A.R. that were or are permitted to expand and satisfy parking requirements off the site and, in the ramps according to the plan. The Liaison Committee, therefore, felt other business and property owners should also be offered this opportunity for a limited amount of time. The Liaison Committee went on to offer the following recomcndation: Memorandum - F{. R. A. Page 2 July 7, 1978 The City of Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority should notify all property owners and businesses of the possible adoption of the 1.0 F.A.R. explaining the ramifications of this expansion policy and the reasons t behind the need to adopt an F.A.R. of 1".0 as opposed to-the F.A.R. of 1.5 permitted under the area's C -2, CoNununity Commercial Zoning classi- fication. All businesses and property ov.,ners should be offered a two year period in which to expand to the 1.5 F.A.R. and anyone not secur- ing a building permit within this two year period shall be bound by the proposed 1.0 F.A.R. at 50th and France. Mr. Kreiser. and the 50th and France Liaison Committee stated that they hoped the H.R.A. could reach a decision on this matter by August 1, 1978. GW:nr r Minutes of the 7 -12 -78 H.R.A. Meeting Page 2 ramp, and the concrete pad for the loading area, some landscaping and retain- ing wall work. fie said the Red Barn had questions a few months ago as to whether the. sidewalk at Lucille Smith's should be constructed. Staff, however, believed the sidewalk should be a part of the project. The main exit and entrance to the south parking ramp should also nave pavers. The alley way was included in the agreement with Red Barn along with lighting and all other features on the Red Earn site. fir. Hughes said file focal point included a small fountain. Paving around the fountain would be a more porous material than was primarily used at 50th and France to decrease the possibility of slipping. He said the proposed fountain was the most simple design they could acquire. Maintenance would not be difficult, and the fountain would have a gage which would automatically turn it off when the wind became too strong. The fountain would have a circulating pump which would run into the storm sewer system, and the controls would be located in the kiosk.. Mr. Hughes said most fountains, such as that in the Yorktown area, are custom made and tend to. be too ornate. This fountain, however, comes from a local distributor and is simpler. There would be stools around the fountain the same height as the planters which would also serve as a type of barrier for the fountain. The cost of the fountain would be approximately $20,000. He said they presently have a man working on the corner of a part -time basis who does all the various odd jobs, such as watering. Mr. Hoffman expressed concern about.the possibility of some- one running into the control box and said it s3!ould be re- located. In response to Mr. Bredesen, Mr. Hoffman said the controls could not be placed below ground level. Also, he said the pavers would not be slippery, but if someone did slip it would be the City's liability.. He agreed it was good on a vocal standpoint but did not like the maintenance side of fountains. This fountain, however, was the most acceptable one. If it worked exactly as was designed, it would be agreeable. The fountain would be turned on from April 1.to November 1 at the most. Mr. ::ughes said the fountain would always have at least two to three inches of water; therefore, if it was not working correctly, its appear- ance would still be good. In response to Mr. Freeburg, Isir. Hughes said the amount of excess in the project was 7 to 8 percent above the contingency. Mr. Hughes said the Engineer's estimate of the base bid was $165,000 and the alternate bid was $49,000 for which the inflation factor was taken into account. The lowest bid was 20 percent higher than the estimate. He said the low bidder had done previous work for the City and was a good contractor. Mr. Shaw moved to accept the bid and Mr. Nelson seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the following voted: Ayes: Mr. Freeburg, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Bredesen, 2•1r. Shaw, Mr. Greer. Nays: None. Motion carried. IV. Expansion Policy. Mr. Hughes said the If.R.A. should have received a memorandum regarding expansion at 50th and France from Ur. Gary Winter of the Planning Depart:rent. He said Mr. Winter was asked to meet with the 50th and France Liaison .Co:nmi:ttee last month to review various problems involving expansion at the corner. One item Mr. 1 inter had brouylit up was alternatives the bu -,iness: men suggested re- garding employee parking. It was said ti,at if employee parking was taken from D, Minutes of the 7 -12 -76 II.R.A. Meeting Page 3 the ramps it would immediately be seen on adjacent side streets, which would cause a problem. In regard to allowance of an 1'AR of 1.0 maximum, the Liaison Committee generally felt it was not equitable to allow only certain business- es to expand to an FAR of 1.5. A reconunendation they made was the City should notify all businesses at the 50th acid France area of the possible adoption of the 1.0 FAR and explain ramifications and reasons for this. Also, a two -year period should be allowed for businesses to expand to the 1.5 FAR normally required in other C -2 Commercial areas of the city, after which maximum expansion would be a 1.0 L•'AR. Mr. Hughes said he had discussed this subject with the City Attorney but lie did_not feel it was legal to set a time limit on expansion. Mr. Hughes recalled that since the last H.R.A.. meeting, he had received another request for expansion from the Edina Theatre of 4,000 square feet and over 200 additional seats. lie did not see a problem with this expansion, however, because the Edina Theatre operated during off - peak business hours. He said one possibility could be a "pay as you go" program ia1 which they consider expansions in light of existing parking or they could anticipate additional parking on the Minneapolis side at a future date. The expansions could be handled on a 100 percent assessment. Mr. Hughes said he had talked with the City Attorney about procedurally limiting public parking. He said Mr. Kreiser would have to go to the Board of Appeals to obtain a vari- ance from the 50th and France parking ordinance in order to expand but had to first come to the H.R.A. and set up ground rules. He said he could see strong points both for and against expansion. Mr. vilinter said Mr. Hughes had covered the points brought up at the 50th and France Liaison Committee. In response to Mr. Freeburg, 'Mr. Hughes said 130 more spaces are avail- able without- the construction of.a new level on the ramp, which would be used for expansion of the buildings indicated in the plan. This figure is based on the lower parking ratio indicated in the plan. He further said without the Red Barn expansion, they could allow many other businessmen at the corner the possibility of expansion to an FAR of 1.5. The Red Barn expansion was stated in the lease but the lease maybe discontinued before -it is expanded. In regard to traffic, 1r. Hughes said he was unable to obtain information on the maximum, traffic potential and the effects expansion would have on Lraf- fic; however, they are expecting the traffic to decrease oil 50th Street. Ile said it was difficuilt to accurately predict traffic flow. lie felt traffic would not be affected by expansion but parking would be. In response to Mr. Freeburg,. Mr. Hughes said approximately seven expan- sions could occur before an additional level would need to be built on the ramp. Approximately 60 parking stalls would be necessary for Red Barn if it were to expand. Mr. Bredesen referred to Appendix 2 of the June 6, 1978, memorandum from Mr. llughcs to the 1I. R. A. , stating if a 1. 0 FAR is allowed, 59 additional parking stalls would be required and if a 1.5 FAR ratio were allowed, 154 addi- tional parking stalls would be required based on 3.2 stalls per 1000 square feet. Mr. liughes said the Edina Board of Appeals and Adjustments would likely base their decision for allowing expansion on the ll.K.A. recommendation. Mr. Nelson said he felt the subject of expansion was being reviewed on an ordinance standpoint and not whether or not the idea made sense. lie said Minutes of the 7 -12 -78 II.R.A. t•;eeting Page 4 they were dealing with an area that was center. Mr. Hughes disagreed with Mr. it from a realistic rather than only an not intended to be a regional shopping CI . Nelson saying he felt they had regarded ordinance perspective. Mr. Freeburg referred to the senior citizen dwelling at 51st and France and asked Mr. Shaw :ghat the various considerations of the City Council were on that subject. Mr. Sha %.., said that what essentially happened was the site, consisting of three single family lots, was designated in the plan as an area for a subsidized dwelling unit for lower income people. The Givens' had indicated an interest in constructing a subsidized senior citizen residence and requested a large nu:-;iber of variances to allow this. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments, however, felt they. did not have the power to grant variances of this nature. He said a new ordinance amendment was then established and ap- proved by the City Council covering senior citizen housing. The Giv -ens' then said parking would not be necessary as the visitors of the senior citizens could use the ramp. Mr. Shaw noted, however, the ramp was constructed for the businesses at 50th and France.and not for visitors of the Senior Centcr and felt more of the senior citizens than anticipated would own cars, also creating a definite parking need. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments denied their second variance request. He was not aware of any farther discussions regarding the site. Mr. Hughes said there had not been any 'new plans brought in but the Givens' should close on the property soon, and he expected new plans to be brought in for the site in the near future. Mr. Freeburg asked if the Board of Appeals and.Adjustments would have to abide by the ordinance regardless of the H.R.A. recommendation. Mr. Hughes responded that the Board of Appeals looked at the unique. situation and decided whether it represented an undue - hardship. Mr. Freeburg than said any expan- sion would be an economic plus, but he saw negative traffic and parking implica- tions. He also felt if they bring in more parking they would be going behind the principles set for and with the neighbors. Mr. Hughes said there was an equal protection problem among the businesses; however, businesses and residents are happy about how it turned out. The action the H.R.A. had to take was to give an overall recommendation to be reviewed by the City Council and Board of Appeals and Adjustments when a variance became necessary. He felt they would take the advice of the H.R.A. because they had followed the project through its entirety. Mr. Shaw disagreed with the free employee parking and referred to the expense of the downtown parking. :Ir. Hughes said it was :and to equate a comparison between a small neighborhood shopping center, such as the 50th and France area, and Downtown, where one must al.ways pay to park, because of the difference in services provided. He said there was a lack of an option to parking because if the ramps were not used, the side streets would be used. The bus was not available to all employees and patrons of 50th and France, par- ticularly those who lived in Edina. Mr. Freeburg said they had to encourage business, but also had to make a judgment as to what meets with their plan goals. lie felt it was not fair to allow e; :pansion to continue for the next three to four years until parking was used up, thus not allo%, ing those the right to further expand who had not expanded during that t.m, -, period. Mr. Greer said. there was not always a vacancy available for expansion. Minutes of the 7 -12 -78 H.R.A. Meeting page 5 Mr. Bredesen said lie did not really understand the ramifications of expansion. lie said they could always allow continued expansion but cannot always bring on restrictions or contractions. lie did not feel additional ramp levels should be constructed. Mr. Nelson wondered if Minneapolin- perceived a future need of additional parking and brought up the idea of purchasing Minneapolis property for future' parking demands. Mr. Bredesen said he felt the neighbors would object to expanding the parking outward. Mr. Hughes agreed and asked if this was a pro - blem for the corner to solve. lir. Frank, Kreiser, Kreiser Real Estai.e, said he felt they were over- looking what was discussed previously. First of all; there was space avail- able on the north side of West 4911 Street for a future parking ramp. There was the possibility of Minneapolis creating additional parking, such as that proposed for Ewing Avenue and 50th Street for a surface lot or ranip. A third point Mr. Kreiscr made was that the uppermost level of 'the ramps, part- icularly that of the southside ramp, are generally never filled as well as the middle levels. Idr•. Kreiser continued that it was his understanding when he talked with the businessmen at the corner that in a C -2 Commercial Zone, the ordinance allows a 1.5 FAR. He felt if the H.R.A. did not permit this, the businessmen of the corner would be unhappy. He felt Red Barn, who wa:; not certain they would expand at all, should not have precedence. over those who were prepared to expand immediately. Mr. Kreiser said he wished to expand his building to cover 2/3 of the lot rather than the present 1/3 lot coverage. This expansion would remove four parking stalls fromthe site. lie' felt it was time to do something in the affirmative and said Mr. Hughes had changed his views slightly to the pros and cons to the idea of expansion; how.-ever, the negative aspects were difficult to ignore. He further said the zoning ordi- nance set an FAR of 1.5 for C -3 Commiercial areas. However, it also required a parking ratio of 7 stalls per 100 square feet. General discussion followed regarding construction costs of additional parking. Mr. Hughes said one of the first concepts they discussed was a "pay as you go" concept; however, there were substantizt legal problems with that as they would be assessing people for something which was not yet constructed. Thus, if it was decided an additional ramp was not necessary, they would have to create a schedule dictating which individuals would receive reimbursement first, which would be difficult to do. 11r. Nelson then moved to make a recommen(:Iation that the Frank Kreiser . expansion plans be reacted to favorably in view of the face they comply with the 1.5 FAR in the C -2 provision of the zoning ordinance. This recommendation was for this specific iscue and each expansion request should be treated separately. I•Ir. Freeburg felt they should deal with the total problem of expansion and not only this issue. I•s. Bredesen was concerned about the creation of a precedent. Mr. Freeburg felt that if things were taken a step at a time and they overstepped, it would be difficult to correct. Mr. Shaw noted I;r. Frank Kreiser was presently in a position to expand and everyone at the corner would not want to expand. Pe agreed with the idea of taking Minutes of the 7 -12 -78 II. R. A. Minutes Page 6 things one at a time, saying some expansion requests may be totally undcsir- able and could be denied. Following brief discussion, Mr. Greer seconded the motion made by Mr. Nelson. Upon roll call, the following voted: Ayes: Air. Nelson, t ^.r. Greer, Mr. Shaw. rays: Mr.. Freeburg, mr. Brcdesen. Motion carried. V. Other Business: Mr. Hughes said there had been an indication from various developers that they may be interested in participating in a project with the Givens' for the property at the corner of 51st and France. Air. Shaw said he felt the rezoning sign on the site should be removed. Air. Hughes responded that he would contact the property o•aner to remove it. In response to Mr. Freeburg, 1:r.. Hughes said the time frame for the bid work completion -was October 1, 1978, with the exception of the focal point on the old liquor store site. Discussion follu %.red regarding the signalization and its completion. Mr. Hoffman said there would always be a parking problem on France Avenue :.rd the system was almost completed. Mr. Freeburg as'-led -about installment. of bus shelters at 50th and France: Mr. Hoffman said there was no indication from the residents of the area that they deeded one. The H.R.A. generally agreed one was not necessary. VI. Adjournment. Respcctl:ully submitted,.. Gordon L. Hughes Executive Director CARDARELLE € ASSOCIATES, INC.

Mr. Jerry Dalen Finance Director 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Jerry: 1 I am requesting the extension of the contract on Lots 1 and 4, Block 1, Lake Edina Addition. This is due to the extensive sub- surface conditions and preparation needed on these two. lots. The initial estimate when we purchased the lots was not as expensive as when actual construction began. The cost to prepare these lots for actual construction is very costly - from $12,000 to $20,000 per lot. This will necessitate the sale to contractors who have existing fill, existing sales or a wait in time to cover this cost. We, therefore, are asking for a two year extension on the contract with interest payments annually to cover the cost of carrying charges to the City. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

The Framework Chapter urges that urban growth outside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and Free- standing Growth Centers take place in rural town centers. Therefore, in support of these policy concepts, applications from rural areas other than town centers were considered ineligible b the Metropolitan Council in adopting the criteria for LAWCON /LCMR applications. The specific cra TA. "t t in the rural area, only rural town centers will be allocated funds."

(A plat on this land has been approved.) 4Applications that received less than 6070 of the available recreation points. 23 - APPENDIX B FISCAL EFFORT INDEX In order to more accurately assess local fiscal effort in providing park and recreation services, Council staff designed the Local Fiscal Effort Worksheet. This Worksheet was completed by each applicant, and consisted of seven items: Capital Expenditure, Operating Costs, School District Expenditures in Recreation, Grant Revenues, other Revenues, Proprietory Functions, and other Park and Recreation - Related Expenditures. This provided comparable data on revenue and expendi- tures, something that was not possible in previous years when lump sum recreation expenditures were taken from the State Auditor's Report. . Calculation of the Fiscal Effort Index involved four steps. First, the seven items in the Local Fiscal Effort Worksheet were combined by summing the following items: 1. Bond service payable in 1978 (park bonds only). 2. Capital costs included in 1978 budget. 3. A tea -year average (1968 -77) of past capital expenditures in parks and recreation (less grants). 4. 1978 operating costs. 5. 1978 school district expenditures in recreation. 6. Tax subsidies provided to proprietory facilities in 1978. Next, the following items were subtracted: 1. Grant revenue allocated in 1978 (if included in 1978 operating or capital budgets). 2. Other sources of revenue not borne by the local population (liquor store profits allo- cated to parks and recreation, proprietory profits, etc.). 3. Other park and recreation budget items that are not related to provision of park and recreation services (non -park forestry, weed inspection, cemetery maintenance, etc.). The resulting figure was used as the "local expenditures" portion of the calculation. Step two involved determining the fiscal ability of each community. This was done by dividing a communitys assessed valuation by its sales ratio (a ratio of the assessor's limited market value to a three -year average of the sales price, or appraised value, of property sales and appraisals in the community. These figures were obtained from the most recent reports of the State Auditor and Department of Revenue. The resultant figure was used as the "local ability" portion of the calculation. Step three involved dividing "local expenditures" by "local ability" to produce the "Fiscal Effort Index." This figure represents the local dollars spent on park and recreation services L dollar of local valuation (as adjusted). Step four involved assigning a point value to each applicant by the following formula: Fiscal Effort Index X 50 = Fiscal Condition Points Maximum Index Range (for those applying) This point value was then added to the other points in the ranking procedure. - 24 - FISCAL EFFORT INDEX (From Highest Ranking to Lowest) COMMUNITY POINTS Apple Valley 50 Cottage Grove 50 Coon Rapids 49 Maple Grove 48 Anoka, City of 45 Oakdale 45 Minnetonka 44 Vermillion 33 Bloomington 32 St. Paul 32 Minneapolis 28 New Hope 27 Richfield 26 St. Louis Park 25 Hamburg. 23 Prior Lake 23 Chanhassen 21 Eden Prairie 20 New Brighton 20 Fridley 19 Lakeville 19 White Bear Lake 19 Woodbury 19 St. Francis 17 Excelsior 16 Blaine 16 Brooklyn Park 15 Robbinsdale 15 Chaska 14 Crystal 14 Forest Lake 14 Linwood 13 Little Canada 13 Golden Valley 13 5 COMMUNITY POINTS Maplewood 13 Brooklyn Center 13 So.St. Paul 13 Roseville 12 New Germany 12 Vadnais Heights 11 Arden Hills 11 Spring Lake Park 11 Lake Elmo 11 Anoka County 10 Ramsey County 9 Shoreview 8 Lakeland 7 St. Anthon y 7 Eagan 6 Inver Grove Heights 6 Edina 5 Plymouth 3 Dayton 3 Shakopee 3 Deephaven 2 Andover 2 Victoria 2 Mendota 0 - 29 - APPENDIX C HOUSING PERFORMANCE RANKINGI A.

Rosland, City Manager Holidays - 1979 November 16, 1978 For 1979 the holidays established for the City are as follows: New Year's Day Presidents' Day Good Friday Memorial Day �P Fourth of July p Labor Day Columbus Day Veterans' Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Eve Christmas Day New Year's Eve (New Year's Day) Monday, January 1 Monday, February 19 Friday, April 13 Monday, May 28 Wednesday, July 4 Monday, September 3 Monday, October 8 Monday, November 12 Thursday, November 22 Monday, December 24 (1/2 day) Tuesday, December 25 Monday, December 31 (1/2 day) Tuesday, January 1 This schedule would have the City Hall open two Monday mornings, 8 AM to 12 Noon on Christmas Eve and.New Year's Eve days. It is doubtful much customer traffic would be served and several employees would probably request vacation, leaving a skeleton staff to handle the minimal business. It is proposed, as.an alternative, that the Ordinance be altered so that in 1979 Columbus Day would not be a holiday but that the 8 hours of that holiday would be taken on the mornings of Christmas Eve day and New Year's Eve day, leaving City Hall closed from Friday after work to start of business Wednesday for both weeks. There are other options, but this seems the most appropriate at this time. This is proposed in order to appropriately prepare 1979 calendars. KR:md TO: Ken Rosland, City Manager FROM: Fran Hoffman, City Engineer DATE:., November 17, 1978 SUBJECT: Lot 19, Block 1, Edina Park,.Storm Sewer Assessment #124 During the Storm Sewer Assessment hearing on October 2nd, Mr. John Cooney stated that he was being assessed twice for the same area. A review indicates that he was properly assessed in Storm Sewer Assessment #124. However, in 1952 and 1953, he was assessed twice on the same'1000 square feet of the lot in question. The area in question is relatively flat and difficult to establish direction of flow. In Storm Sewer Project #18 (1952) the area in question was assessed for water draining West and in Storm Sewer Project #19 (1953), the area in question was assessed for water draining.East. As such, Mr. Cooney believes we should reimburse him .$12.28 for the lateral assessment on Project #124 as compensation for the oversight in 1953. We agree that this is fair and would recommend reimbursement to Mr. Cooney. FJH:lm V TO: Ken Rosland, City Manager FROM: Fran Hoffman, City Engineer DATE: November 17, 1978 SUBJECT: 5 YEAR STATE AID CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM Attached is a memorandum from Gordon Fay, Director of the Office of State Aid. The contents of the memo indicate a requirement for implementing a Five Year Construction Program. Failing to do so would penalize our State Aid needs apportionment. We request approval of the attached proposed Five Year Plan. Council approval does not bind the City to that specific program as it is only a planning device which may be amended at any time.

The Municipal Screening Committee at its June 1 -2, 1978, meeting passed a resolu- tion which states: That by January 1, 1979, each municipality shall submit a 5 year construction program which has been approved by their city council. This program shall include sufficient projects to utilize all existing and anticipated funds.and shall be updated periodically (not to ex- ceed 3 years). Should a program not be submitted by January 1, 1979, twice the city *s unencumbered construction fund balance shall be deducted'from its needs prior to the 1980 apportionment, and if recess - sary, increase to 3 times the amount prior to the 1981 allotment and to 4,5,6, etc. times the amount until such time as a program is sub- mitted or the needs are reduced to zero. In 1983, each city will be reviewed to determine the progress of their five year program. Failure to implement the proposed pro- gram, or other acceptable projects would impose the same adjustments as for failure to submit a 5 -year program. To further encourage the use of these funds, those cities which have not used municipal State Aid funds for a construction project in the 5.years prior to January 1, 1978, would have the pregeding formula concerning implementation applied beginning prior to the 1980 apportionment. To comply with this directive each city is requested to submit a council approved itemized 5 year program of proposed construction by priority showing the termini, length, estimated cost and type of anticipated projects; along with`a map indica- ting the locations of each project. This submittal must be returned to the District State -Aid Engineer by January 1, 19799 but an earlier return would be.helpful to resolve questions which may occur. The reporting will be reviewed at the district and by our office, with any unusual conditions being referred back to the Screening Committee at the spring meeting for their decision. .Page 2 Also enclosed are a copy of the Screening Committee Minutes of the June meeting, and a revised copy of the current resolutions of the Municipal - Screening Committee.. / n `Gordon M.

Also, we will ask you to designate yourself or a council member as a liaison we may contact during the next several months with information relates' to regUired state plans. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 encourage local and regional governments to assume a greater responsibility for air quality planning. The planning involves developing, implementing and enforcing measures needed to attain ambient, air quality standards. Two important deadlines, January 1, 1979 and July 1, 1979, are only a few months away. The opinions and desires of your community must be considered in the process of revising state plans. Much information important to your community will develop while the state plan is prepared. The involvement of local elected representatives, as yourself, is greatly needed to make sure plans are reasonable, can work, and are needed. We would like to attend one of your upcoming council meetings to give a short explanation of the requirements under the Clean Air Act and to answer any questions you currently have. We'll call for an agenda slot of 5 -7 minutes.in the next couple weeks. At that time we will ask you to designate one of your council, or yourself, as the liaison with whom we may exchange information in the future and who can relay your opinions'and positions on particular programs, strategies and plans. A conference for these elected officials will be held this winter. The Metro Clean Air Committee, part of the American Lung Association of Hennepin County, has long been interested in public participation in clean air planning. We are working with the. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Metropolitan Council to help those agencies be sure that people affected by clean air decisions help make those decisions. We pledge ourselves to help in any way we can. We look forward to a fruitful meeting. Sincerely yours, Barbara L.

NONE SECTION B Requests on which the Committee recommends denial of request. 1. Donald Hart, Vestryman with St. Stephen's Church, 4439 West 50th Street, is requesting handicapped parking spaces on the south side of West 50th Street and approximately 160 feet east of Wooddale Avenue. ACTION TAKEN: Fran Hoffman advised the Traffic Safety Committee and Mr. Hart that Tom Erickson, Attorney for the City of Edina, has researched the questions of permitting handicapped parking spaces on a City street and the liabilities the City would incur if such parking spaces were so designated. Mr. Erickson states that current ordinances require that handicapped parking spaces be not less than 12 feet wide. Permitting handicapped parking spaces on a public street could not meet the requirements of this ordinance. Chief Swanson moved the Committee recommend denial of the request as it would be in conflict with current City ordinances. Motion seconded by Captain Holman. Motion carried 6 -0. (See letter from City Attorney, Tom Erickson.) 2. The Edina Citizens Safety Council is requesting a 20 MPH speed limit on Concord Avenue between Southview Lane and School Road. The west side of Concord Avenue. between these streets abuts school property. MW,/ Page 2 Traffic Safety Committee Minutes November'14, 1978 ACTION TAKEN: Captain Holman reviewed with the Committee results of speed surveys which were conducted on Concord Avenue between Southview Lane and School Road. Overall, 96% of the vehicles involved in the survey had speeds recorded at 35 MPH or less. A review of the accident history in this same location revealed no significant vehicle accident problems. The west side of Concord between Southvi.ew Lane and School Road has a sidewalk for pedestrian traffic. There is a three -way stop at 5.9th. and Concord, and this. intersection is also regulated during appropriate times by the School Safety Patrol. A marked squad car often_ observes this area during critical times when children are coming and going to school. Captain Holman moved the Committee recommend denial of the request to rezone Concord from a 30 MPH speed zone to a 20 MPH speed zone. Motion .seconded by Gordon Hughes. Motion carried 6 -0.. (See speed survey and accident history attachment.) SECTION C Requests which are deferred to a later date or are referred to others.

IPIIS SON ANN F. hlYn Mr. Kenneth E. Rosland City Manager City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street .Edina, Minnesota 55424 Re: Parking for Physically Handicapped Near St. Stephen's Church Dear Mr. Rosland: Based upon our research in regard to the.above- captioned matter, we offer the following information and suggestions. If the street on which the handicapped parking spaces are to be established is a highway under the jurisdiction of the State-Commissioner of Highways, no action may be taken without the permission of the Commissioner. If the street in question is not subject to the Commissioner's jurisdiction, the City of Edina may proceed without such permission; however, the ensuing ordinance(s)_must not conflict with any existing state law. The only state law requirements relating-specifically to handicapped parking provide that the signs designating such parking spaces (1) display the international symbol of access, (2) indicate that the space is reserved for the handicapped with vehicles displaying the required certificate, and (3) be posted in accordance with the manual on uniform traffic control devices. The City of Edina, however, has enacted ordinances which impose additional requirements upon the establishment of handicapped parking. One such requirement is that the parking DORSEY. WINDHORST,HANNAFORD.WHITNEY a HALLADAY Mr. Kenneth E. Rosland Page 2 October 31, 1978 space be not less than 12 feet in width. [Ord. No. 1401 -A3, §22.02(b)]. This requirement applies on both public and private property. [ §22.03(a)]. To promote internal consistency in the Edina ordinances and to avoid a future claim of negligence on the part of.the City based upon a claim that the City permitted or condoned a violation of the above ordinance (which in some courts is prima facie evidence of negligence), we suggest you amend the above ordinance accordingly, before establishing the requested handicapped parking.. Even if the 12 -foot width requirement is abolished, however, Edina could be found negligent for designating parking -.spaces which are too narrow to allow a wheelchair to safely disembark onto the traffic side of the vehicle. This predicament may be avoided by allowing handicapped vehicles to park facing the traffic flow if necessary to allow disembarkation onto the non - traffic side of the vehicle.. However, such a provision would conflict with state law. The. state statutes on highway traffic are unclear as to whether or not the Commissioner has the power to permit a conflict in such a situation. We have not conferred directly with the Commissioner's office or the Attorney General's office in regard to this question. We will do so if you wish, or you may wish to pursue that matter yourself. In any event, we recommend that, at a minimum, you seek such permission. before enacting an ordinance in conflict with state law. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to call. very truly yours, Thomas S.

Minneapolis, MN 55422 November 10, 1978 Telephone 612.522 -4325 Mayor James VanValkenburg 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Mayor VanValkenburg: Since 1891 the Animal Humane Society of Hennepin County has been a viable community service organization. As a private, non -profit corporation, the Society is dependent upon contributions from individuals, businesses,, corporations, and foundations, to- gether with various fund- raising activities, monies raised from the sale of adoptable animals, as well as gifts from cities within the Hennepin County area for support! Minnesota State Statute 343.11 allows cities to give up to $4,800 annually to the Animal Humane Society. Can you financially assist the Society and therefore help maintain its ongoing programs to your community? In 1977, over 258 animals from your city were turned over to the Animal Humane Soc- iety for disposition. of these animals, 9 were brought to us as strays found roam- ing your city streets by concerned citizens. Through September of this year, we have received 206 animals from Edina of which 19 were strays. We are not the dog pound but are concerned about the welfare of all animals in our area. Therefore, we accept strays from individuals who find them on the streets. It is our policy to keep these strays for 8 days, thereby guaranteeing that the animals will be kept over one weekend, in hopes to reunite the pet with the owner. When an animal is given to the Animal Humane Society we do ask for a donation to assist us with the many costs involved and we are pleased that many people do leave a donation. However, these donations in no way cover the costs involved for the Humane Society. Our 1978 budget is over $317,000. Through the various fees and membership donations, we are able to raise a large share of our budget but must continually look for other financial assistance. In addition to housing the many unwanted, neglected, and oftentimes surplus animals, the Animal Humane Society has two full time education personnel who go to various schools in our area and instruct them on the proper care and treatment of all living things as well as instructing them on the necessity for surgical sterilization of their animal to help curb the pet overpopuulaticn. These are in, addition to our programs on obeying the leash laws of their community. We also have agents who go out and invest- igate cruelty complaints in your city. Once a month we offer a community service ed- ucation program at the Society that deals with animal health problems and care, offered free of charge to community residents. A NON - PROFIT CORPORATION DEDICATED TO THE WELFARE OF ANIMALS Alllffial �Iuffiane Society of Hennepin County Be A Voice For Those Who Cannot Speak 845 France Avenue N. Minneapolis, MN 55422 Telephone 612.522 -4325 Mayor VanValkenbun3 November 10, 1978 Page Two In 1977, the Society received in excess of 21,500 animals. We were able to find homes for approximately 4,500 of these animals. The wild animals that were healthy were released. The remaining unwanted or surplus animals had to be humanely des - troyed. Although we do not enjoy the task of destroying animals, we must consider the alternatives and make our decision based on the realization that those animals left to roam the streets would become sick, diseased, die of malnutrition or starv- ation, or become a public nuisance to the community. Therefore, we are forced to destroy a large share of the animals brought to us. The nationwide adoption level is approximately 109 - 15 %. We have been able to adopt approximately 30% which we feel is a great improvement over what it was years ago. We continually try to in- crease our adoption rate by providing healthy, happy pets to perspective owners with proper instruction on how to care for them. Since we are a service organization doing work and solving many problems in Edina, I hope you'll consider making a contribution to the Animal Rz ane Society. We do need your help if we are to continue maintaining our programs and educating the com- munity at large on animal care and problems and also helping those who are unable to speak for themselves. I hope that you will call upon me to make a presentation to your City Council or to you relative to our request for funds. We do perform a very valuable service to your city! Help us continue to be a voice for those that cannot speak. Sincerely, Q� T. Az;�� Alan T.

DATE: November 17, 1978 FROM: Fran Hoffman, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Gib Feig, 6527 - 29 Vernon Ave. Sewer Services Mr. Feig requests consideration on rebate of City permit fees because of unusual depth to Sanitary Sewer. His point'is that he.had to dig to 25. +feet to hook to truck sanitary sewer when our construction plans showed a depth of 13 -15 feet to the trunk sanitary sewer. He states.that it cost him an additional $6000`+ for the additional 10 feet of depth. Apparently, some additional filling has occurred from the time of the trunk sewer construction to the sewer hook -up He did pay. two sewer connection charges of $585.00 for a total of $1170.00 in addition to $1177.55 for plan permits, checks, and SAC charges.

It�t that time the League will suggest a meeting of all those ..interested and associated with the Police School Liaison Program.

Sincere , 6.� Kay -Bach, President `fary Ness, Study Ch irman Edina League of Women.Voters THE LEAGUE OF t ?O!lE:•l VOTERS OF EDINA: REPORT ON THE POLICE SCHOOL LIASIOTI PROGRAM I. Introduction The Police School Liaison Program (P.S.L.P.) was adopted as a current local study item by the membership at the 1977 annual meeting;. The directive from the membership at that time was one of study. The committee began the study in January of 1978. Information was gathered from a variety of sources (Play bulletin) and an information summary was presented in :lay of 1978. League members decided at that time to both continue the study and reach a consensus. Additional information was gathered (Sept. bulletin) and the seconj and final report was brought to League members in September, 1978. After nine months of study and discussion the League of llomen Voters of Edina has reached a consensus, thus a position, based on the information available. League members reach consensus not as experts, but as well informed citizens. Consensus in the League means a "sense of the group ". The consensus as it relates to the P.S.L.P. is one of strong agreement. The League position represents thoses areas of agreement; but many aspects of the liaison program were studied and are described in Part III, The Study Summary. This position in no way reflects upon any of the city or school personnel associated with the program, and in fact the League wishes to recognize the fine work being done by Officer Hanson. II. The League Position The League of :lomen Voters of Edina Supports: (D: the concept of a police officer(s) in the Edina Public Schools to act as a liaison among the police, schools, community the cooperative commitment of city, school, community to continue the P.S.L.P. qualifications and /or training for this liaison officer(s) directly related and lJ necessary pursuant to working with youth., additional personnel to supplement the liaison progam. III. The Study Summary The following; is a summary of the study done by the League and is presented in two sections: (1) Agreement and (2) Identified Areas of Concern. Agreement The areas of agreement can be described as program concept, cooperative commit- ment for continuence, program personnel, and training/qualifications. League members describe the P.S.L.P. as a positive approach to youth and their problems; encompassing prevention, early intervention, deterrence, and detection. The League recognizes the educational value of the program especially in the elementary schools. The League also recognizes the cooperative nature of the program and the rapport developed out of that cooperative -effort. The League views the above as being in the best interest of the entire community. By the-very existence of the liaision program the city, schools, and community acknowled a that the youth of Edina warrant special attention. That special attention alone is not enough, qualm: ications. and /or training directly related to youth and their special problem is necessary, at least to an officer in the liaision position, and ideally to all officers for they also have contacts with juveniles. Additional personnel dose not necessarily mean more officers. The League clearly supports additional officers for liaison program, but the following sugges- tions were also made: clerical support, program development specialists, social workers, and volunteers. If additional officer(s) were availibl.e the League offers these suggestions. A manAroman team, a team of two part time liaison officers, assignments based on an EastAIest division, a K -6 / 7 -12 division, or a division based on the level or type of officer involvement education /prevention and crimes/ offenses. The League's consensus regarding the city and schools commitment to continue the liaison program was extremely strong, and because that commitment to continue . the program rs related to fimding, it will be discussed further in Identified Areas of Conc arn. Identified Areas of Concern Accountibility and Program Goals are the League's identified areas of concern. While the P.S.L.P. does have a job description and a listing of duties and obliga- tions, it does not appear to have definite goals and objectives. Data collection and analysis also appears limited. Evaluation of these two are" was therefore difficult for the members of the League. The League recognises the need for estab- lishing goals and objectives; clear, realistic, well defined and consistent with funding and personnel available. The League suggest these goals are central to the organization of the liaison program and necessary to determine the accountibility of the program internally as well as to the community. League members respect the difficulties of responsible fiscal management that faces both the city and the schools. At the present time the P.S.L.P. is fundaed entirely by the city through the police department. The League feels the cooperative principle of the liaison program is essential and suggests the following ways for the school to increase its participation in the program. These suggestions in the League's opinion would enhance that principle., The schools would provide support services equal to a given dollar amount such as in clerical support, data collec- tion and analysis, in- service training applicable to the liaison officer, curriculum development applicable to the liaison program, And program evaluation. Also sugges- ted is the resumption of shared funding from 10% up to 50 The League wants to emphasize the critical importance of continued funding and support for the program from the city, schools, and the community. IV. Conclusion This study would not be complete without recording and acknowledging the fine cooperation received by-the League from the city and school persomel. Collectively they were open, honest and accessible to the League. Our special thanks to Cheif of Police Craig Swanson and liaison officer 14anson.

Notes and Comments I.'-a.': Refer to A Brief Hi-story (Voter p. 1) ' -Fo'r, the past 20 years Minnesota has been a national-leader in working toward the establishment of regional library systems. Seventy of the,.state's 87' counties now ,belong to one of the 13 regional systems in the state; ,twelve of the -17 ,ci�unties without county -wide service do have one or more city li j braries'participating in a regional system;-five counties have no_ library service. In 1977, library service was extended to '20,000 residents who c never before had the service.; about -,130,000.still have no access, to a, free library.. i Regional systems mean some loss of local control. and autonomy but also more services and resources. ,Other.advantages: improved. efficiency in administra tion, maximized access to materials thru mechanisms for sharing and delivery, better service for poorly served areas and greater equality among libraries. "Fostering .a system of shared resources" could mean within,-a single city . (school anr', public library), within -a region, within.a state. , b. You are asked to rank the four goals, identified inVMinnesota's Long Range Plan for Library,Service because of the possibility that funds may not be . available to meet,all these goals-.- II.

"., (A- Strategy for Improving State and Federal Support of Public Libraries) * Since libraries are not perceived by the general public,,as a necessity and since unlimited financial resources are not available in the present climate of tax protest, libraries'must become more efficient, seek•better ways to evaluate and measure,se.rvices, present the library case in more understandable terms to citizens and governing bodies, and establish priorities that relate to things that libraries do best.

Introduction z The Police School Liaison Program (P.S.L.P.)' *uas adopted.as-a current. local study item by the membership at'the 1977 annual meeting. The directive.from_ the membership at that time was,one of study. The committee.began the study,in January of 1978. Information was gathered from a variety-of sources (May bulletin) and an v. information summary was 'presented in lay of 1978. League members decided at ,that time to both continue the study and reach.a consensus. Additional information was gathered '(Sept.,) bulletin)' and the sec©nd and final report was brought to League members .in September, 1973. After nine months of study and discussion the League of Women Voters of Edina has reached a consensus, thus ,a position', based on the information available. League members reach consensus not as experts, but as well informed citizens: Consensus in the League.,means a- "sense of'the group ". The consensus as it relates1to the P.S.L.P. is one of strong Agreement. .The - League position•represents thoses areas of agreement ;.but many aspects of the liaison program were studied -and are described in Part�III, The Study Summary: This position in no.:•iay reflects upon any of the city or school personnel associated with the "program, and in fact the League wishes to recognize the fine work being done•by Officer Hanson. II. The League Position The - Leag;ue,of`11omen Voters of Edina Supports: '�. the concept of -a police officer(s) in,the Edina Public Schools to act as a liaison among the police, schools, community the cooperative commitment'of city- ,,school, community to continue the P.S.L.P., qualifications and /or training; for this liaison officers) directly related and necessary pursuant to working with youth. _additional personnel to supplement the liaison_,progam. III. The Study Summary ` The following?; is a summary of the study done by the League and is presented in 'two sections: (1) Agreement and (2) Identified Areas of Concern. j k Agreement ` The areas of agreement can be described as program,concept,'cooperative commit- ment for continuence,'program Personnel, and training /qualifications.. League members describe the.P.S.L.P. as a- positive,app"roach to youth and their problems; Encompassing prevention, early intervention, deterrence,'and detection. The League recognizes the educational value of the program especially'in the elementary schools. The -League also recognizes the cooperative nature of the program and the rapport developed out of that cooperative effort., The League viewd,the above as being-in the best interest of the entire community.. r ' By the very existence of the liaision program the city, schools, and community i acknowledge that the youth of,Edina'wArrant special attention. That special attention al6ne is not enough, qualifications and /or training "directly related to youth and their special problems is,necessary, at least to an officer in the liaision position, and ideally to all officers for.they -also have contacts with juveniles. Additional personnel does not,necessarily mean,more officers. The League clearly supports additional officers for'liaison program, but the-following,sugges- .tions were also made: clerical support,:program development specialists, social workers, and volunteers. If. additional officer s) were availible . theLeague offers' these suggestions. A• manh.roman .team, a 'team of two part time liaison officers,: assignments based on an East /West division, -a K -6 / 7 -12 division,'or a division based on the level or type of officer involvement education /prevention and crimes/ offenses. - The League's consensus regarding; the city and schools `commitment to continue the liaison.program' was extremely strong, and because that commitment -to continue the.program is related to funding, it will,be discussed further in Identified Areas,f —of Concern. J Identified Areas of Concern Accountibili /ty and,Program Goals are,the League's.,identified� areas of concern. While the P.S.L.P. does have a job description 'and a listing of duties and obliga- tions, it does not appear to -have definite goals and obje-ctives.,,Data collection and analysis also appears limited. Evaluation of these two areas was therefore' difficult -for the members of the League. The LeaFlue recognizes the need for estab- lishing goals and.objectves; clear, realistic, well defined and consistent with funding and personnel available. The League suggest these goals'are'central to the organization of the liaison program and- necessary.to determine the accountibility of the program internally as well as to the community: League members,respect the.difficulties of responsible fiscal management that faces both the city and,the schools. At the present time,the P.S.L.P. is fundaed' entirely by the city through the police department.- The League,feels the cooperative principle of the,liaison program is essential -and suggests the .following ways for the school to increase its participation in the program. These suggestions in the League's opinion would enhance that principle. The schools would, -provide support, services equal to -a given dollar amount such as in.clerical sWport; data collec-! tion and analysis, in- service training applicable to..the liaison officer, curriculum development applicable -to the liaison program, and program evaluation. Also sugges- ted is the resumption of shared funding from 10o'up to 50°;. The League wants to emphasize the critical importance of continued funding and support-for the .program from the city, schools -, and the community. IV. Conclusion - This study would not be complete without recording and acknowledging the fine cooperation received by.the'League from the city and school personnel. •Collectively they were open, honest and accessible to the League.

On September 25, Nancy Beach made the following presentation on behalf of the League: 'In 1976 the League of Women Voters of Minnesota took a close look at the Omnibus Tax Law and recommended some changes to remedy what.we.saw as inherent problems in the law. Our position stc.tes,,however, -that recommendations of categorical aid.are "not to preclude careful planning and evaluation of,locai school district expenditures." We commend the Edina School Board for your ongoing efforts in planning and evaluation : and thank you for - once -again asking the League - nd`other interested citizens;to assist- in this task. The Edina League.tupports. the concept of individualized instruction. While we recognize that `the current mission statement contains- allusions to an individualized approach; we continue to: believe that it would be enhanced.by the addition of an. explicit statement similar to the objective stated in the earlier version of the.dis trict's philosophy and objectives: "To move consistently.toward greater individuaj,i zation of instruction within the limits of the resources made available to us." We are - pleased to see that in the Methods-•section of the Mission Statement, the district acknowledges its commitment to the use of- instructional techniques which "capitalize on and strengthen ..`.,the learning•skills of students." In keeping with such an approach,, we would ask the following questions about the student aptitude and achievement testing 'program described in the section bn Responsibility to Students and'Parents" Will assessments of student potential provide specific diagnostic information about an individual's learning skills-which might be used�in planning 'individualized instruction? Will "progress" be defined in terms of an individual's growth over time rather than -how she or he fares when measured against group norms? The League of Women Voters supports the concept of equality of opportunity for all persons. This year Leagues in communities throughout Minnesota including Edina,_ will take a catef ul look to see if anti'- discrimination laws affecting girls' partfci- pationIin athletics are being fully'implemented. In this regard, we would encourage the board to include,in its reference to co- curricular and extracurricular opportuni- ties a statement assuring that such-opportunities will be equal,for all students. - In our statement to you last year, we reported thlt the League was engaged.in a statewide study of tenure and collective bargaining in education. A statement of our new position which resulted from that study has been given to you. 'It includes recommendations for changes in Minnscotds collective bargaining law to require that teacher bargaining agents and school boards publish first offers and all subsequent written offers during the negotiations; and changes in the.tenure law to require school boards -to consider factors in addition to order of employment'when they must make staff dismissals due to reduction'of,positions•. Such factors include recent teaching experience in the field of certification, program needs of the district, and , special expertise of the individual faculty member. The League is actively working for the adoption by the state legislature of these recommended changes in the'law. NEW SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

What is the present situa- tion and what is being done? In'July Nancy Grimsby, Alison Fuhr and Thelma Rholl met- with the Edina Public Health Officers: We felt there was no dterminable danger at the present time and monitoring continues. The following-is from the GROUND WATER NEWLETTER -put out by the Minnesota Department of Health: The Minnesota Legislature has appropriated $200,000 to the Minnesota Dept. of Health, so it can study creosote contamination of ;the ground water in St. Louis Park. The problem was caused by creoste which saturated the ground during.50 years of - operations at the Republic Creosote Company.. Work on�Phase I of the study will include test wells' soil borings, pump tests, chemical analysis_of the ground water to g4ther hydrologic data for use in a computer' model_ and design A b .%er well system to halt.the possible spread of contamination. Also included in the'study will be a well abandonment program, to seal-wells which_ serve.as a channel f,o.r the'migra- tion of contaminauts.'between aquifers. Funds for additional work, to be completed durinig Phase II of the study, will be requested from the Legislature during the 1979 session. Phase'll work will'include.a program and computer (node-1 to predict the , effectiveness of controlling, removing and-"treating contaminated ground water. Dr.'Richard'Wade is Director of the Encironmental Health Division, 1,1N, Dept. of Health. On February 17, 1978, Dr. Wade spoke to a group of medccal doctors from St. Louis Park.Methodist Hospital about creosote contamination of 'the water in St. Louis } tark.

J Marion White _SCHGGL BWAD 1 Regarding tax levy for taxes payable in 1979: In voting the official tax levy for 1979 there was some discussion if the full 2k mill increase that was .passed need,be assessed. However they want_ to consider if the unexpected increase of cap - ital should continue, if a.decrease of the assessed rate of increase to,,2 mills might be in order'for 1980." There also was some discussion as 'to what amount of excess funds is prudent to have on hand. It was left with a suggestion by Lee Johnson 'that a study be- done. It,was brought"out,that the debt redemption levy:will�be �reduced.by $200,000. ,This might reduce our tax increase-to 0 for 1979.-. Summer school Legislation:, b bill to,provide equal state aid per pupil unit for summer school instruction is being proposed., This bill came about since the school can rio longer charge a fee for credited instruction and there is an inequity existing in the present state aid which does not allot us enough funds to run an adequate program:. School'Enrollment: r,dministrative assistant, Jim Chapman, reported on the 1978 -79 school enrollment. They were within 20 of projected. Enrollment continues to track slightly below task 'forces low projection. ,,During the past 2 years there has been a sharp increase in children of kinderga- rden,age that -are,being held -back -an; extra year. Bringing school buildings up to code: The school buildings are r.equiredto be brought up to code for life safety. The architect, Mr. En had plans drawn up for Edina East, Lower Division and Concord.

WITNESS my hand and seal of said City this 22nd day of November, 1978. City Clerk i - I YY` - R SOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED by the Edina City Council that the I E", I' h- I- c.. MOITS -0%1 lu TO: Kenneth Rosland, City Manager FROM: Gordon Hughes, City Planner SUBJECT:. Year V Community Development Block Grants DATE: November 16, 1978 On November 20, 1978, the City Council will conduct a public hearing regarding Year V Community Development Block Grants. We have announced this hearing by way of an article in the non -legal section of the newspaper as well as individual mailed notices to most of the civic and neighborhood associations in the City. This year, as opposed to past years, most of the citizen participation activities required in conjunction with Community Development funds will take place at the county level. You will recall that the Council appointed an Edina resident to the county Citizen Advisory Committee to take part in the citizen participation process. As a result, the Council is required to conduct only one hearing on Community Development funds this year rather than two or three as was required in past years. However, if interest is expressed on November 20, 1978, the Council may wish to conduct a second hearing on December 4, 1978. As in 1977, the use of Community Development funds is limited to a very narrow range of activities which fall into three general categories: 1. Activities which directly benefit low and moderate income persons; e.g. housing rehabilitation and land acquisition for low and moderate income housing 2. Improvement projects in areas containing a majority of low.and moderate income persons; e.g. parks, utilities, and other public works 3. Exceptions; e.g. elimination of slums and blight A major change in the Community Development regulations for 1978 is the eligibility of using.Community Development funds for special assessment relief. At present, we.have not received any rules regarding a special assessment relief program (e.g. income requirements, project eligibility, etc.). However,. we believe that a program similar to the housing rehabilitation program could be established. This could be particularly beneficial for the Morningside improvements if eligible. To date, we have received one suggestion for the use of Community Development funds in Year V. A church has asked for funds to construct a handicapped access to their church building. We have determined that this project would be eligible for Community Development funds._ Although no specific request has been received,. a developer has submitted an application for subsidized family housing in western Edina. This project, if approved, would require a land write down which could be funded with Community Development funds.

To date, however, Year IV funds have not been reallocated for this project. It should be noted that this project was established as-a multi -,year activity. Therefore, the City will be able to recover costs incurred'--by this project in 1978 during subsequent years.

At that time, the Council instructed staff to 1) refine the parking capacity counts at 50th and France and.2). inquire as to the possible expansion plans of other merchants.at 50th and France. Staff reported on November 6, 1978, that approximately 130 parking spaces were underutilized in the public parking.facilities at 50th and France. Staff conducted additional counts on Friday, November 10; Saturday, November 11; Wednesday, November 15; and Thursday, November 16.

A Memo Mr. Ken Rosland November 17, 1978 page 2. During the survey period, the largest number of vacant spaces recorded was 372 at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 11. The-fewest spaces recorded was 26 at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 15, 1978, which coincided with a special theater showing. Also, Edina schools were not in session at this time. Exclusive of on- street parking, the total number of public parking .spaces at 50th and France is 693 spaces. According to many authorities, the functional aspects of parking begins to deteriorate at 90 percent occupancy of parking' spaces. Similarly, 95 percent occupancy is often considered to be the f unc -, tional capacity of a parking facility due to improper parking, congestion, and so forth. During the survey period,'the public parking facilities reached 90 percent occupancy on four occasions and reached 95 percent.occupancy (or functional capacity) on one occasion. 41 o ra ++ Q a° 41 ►a a-Wi 0 a ° 41 N 4 +� T 1 w� : 4J 4J U z° a c° i o November 15 12:00 4 .1 14 0 40 0 59 1:00 P.M. 0 0 5 0 41 0 46 2:00 4 0 16 1 5 0 26 3:00 10 0 36 .0 46 0 92 4:00 19 0 51 0 61 2 133 November 16 11:00 a.m. 10 .1 72 1 110 0 194 12:00 0 0 9 0 74 1 84 1:00 P.M. 6 0 15 0 73 1 95 2:00 1 0 9 0 54 0 64 3:00 14 0 35 0 72 0 121. 4:00 20 0 71 0 91 1 183 During the survey period, the largest number of vacant spaces recorded was 372 at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 11.

'page 3 Mr. Ken Rosland November 17, 1978 From the survey results, it is also apparent that the south parking ramp is less utilized as compared to the other parking facilities. However, this ramp also reached functional capacity on one occasion and was at least 80 .percent occupied on five occasions. It should also be noted that the con- struction of an additional 40,000 square feet of office /retail space is anticipated south of 50th Street which would presumably utilize the south ramp. Finally, staff cautions against "averaging" the parking survey data. As with traffic capacity of a roadway, the peak traffic or parking demand should be considered. EXPANSION PLANS OF EXISTING BUSINESSES Staff opined on November 6, 1978, that seven existing businesses at 50th and France had more expansion potential than others. Of these seven, Mr. Kreiser and Patio Village have already expressed plans of expansion. Staff was able to contact four of the five remaining businesses and solicit their ideas: *Business Properties Incorporated (S.W. quadrant - 50th and France) Contact: Mr. Endresen - Trust Officer Mr. Endresen noted that Business Properties has no plans of expansion or sale. He assured, however, that if and when the property was sold, the new owner would probably re- construct a new building. *Sheridan Antiques Contact: Mrs. Sheridan No plans to expand or sell. She noted that they will stay.until retirement. . *Hooten Cleaners Contact: Mr. Hooten'.. No plans to expand.- Mr. Hooten noted, however, that he will probably retire and sell-the business'-within-five years. *Lunds Contact: Ted Lund No plans to expand or sell. Thus, most businesses.surveyed do not presently have expansion plans. However, two businesses will probably be sold within five to ten years. GLH: j t 1979 EMPLOY EES::,WAGE: -:AND BENEFIT PLAN APPROVED. XIVMFU M APPROPRIATION TRANSFERS AUTHORIZED. Mr. Rosland referred to the Council Mdeting of November 8, 1978, at.which he presented the development of a compensation system for City employees. He presented a Personnel Compensation Module which divides the various modules into thre year steps under which the first step would be at 80% of the ultimate salary for a particular position. Mr. Rosland pointed out kkKk the procedure under which employees could be advanced , noting that he would still have the flexibility to hold an employee.at a certain level if production was not all that it should be. He said that he believes that this concept 1) lets an employee know where he stands if he performs well; 2) gives the Council input on advancement of personnel; 3) Gives the Manager the flexibility of movement within a particular catigory; xnci 4) Holds a salary to what a particular job is worth, notwithstanding the length of time an employee has worked for the City; and 5) Gives theca advantage of knowing the limits for each position. Mr. Rosland advised that while the proposed salaries are within President Carter's guidelines, it is proposed, because of Police and Fire Department contracts, to increase salaries and wages 8% for 1979 and 6% in 1980. Mayor Van Valkenburg said that he had reviewed the proposals and concurred with the Manager's .7ing the following transfer of seconded by Councilman Courtney: TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Ken Rosland, City Manager SUBJECT: 1979/1980 INTERIM EMPLOYEES WAGE AND BENEFITS PLAN DATE: November 17, 1978 At the management presentation on November 8th, the development of a compensation system was discussed. As an initial step, a plan which primarily groups employees in ranges that approximate the individuals current salary trends is proposed. Changes are expected in the future, but will be refinements on the systems proposed for 1979. The proposal does incorporate the following points: a. Every position (except unionized positions and certain other positions) are plugged into either the general or public safety pay plan. b. The starting pay for a position is 80% of the top salary for the position. Interim steps are at 87% and 94%. c. An employee starting at the 80% cannot reach top salary in less than 3 years. d. Level increases are not automatic, but based on performance and require City Manager performance review. e. A person with relevant position experience in other organizations may start at a step greater than the initial step at the discretion of the City Manager. f. Administration of the plan must be within the bottom line total dollars authorized by the Council. g. Ranges can annually be adjusted by the Council to compensate for cost of living changes. This type of plan removes some of the guesswork and arbitrariness associated with salary administration with the past. It gives an employee an indication of the potential salary she /he can earn for appropriate ,fob performance. Financing of the plan for the most is done through the 5% increase in salaries set forth in the budget, plus monies set aside in the contingency fund for an additional 3 %. The plan generally amounts to an 8% increase. In order to be .within .the inflationary guidelines, the Council must pass no more than a recommended 6% increase for 1980. (Jerry has enclosed the required appropriations.) For the benefits side, it is recommended that the City continue to pay all of the single employee coverage and increase the contribution for those selecting dependent coverage from $70 to $75 per month.

Many officials are not aware of what the consequences are if the city enters a labor set- tlement that calls for a pay increase in excess of the President's suggested maxi- mum of 7 %. The reason for the confusion is that neither the President nor anyone else has stated what the effect is. As a.result of this uncertainty, several rumors have been spread which need to be.addressed. One rumor is that if a city approves a wage increase that exceeds 7 %, that the city will lose a portion of its Revenue Sharing Entitlement. This rumor is absolutely false. There is nothing in the revenue sharing statutes or regulations which would authorize such a penalty, and absent a statutory amendment there is nothing that the President can do to change this. To repeat, by entering into a wage settlement with an increase in salary in excess of 7%, a local governmental unit does not jeo- pardize its revenue sharing funds Another'rumor is that if a city fails to comply.with the President's program, that points will be deducted from applications for federal discretionary grants. As far as the League can determine, there is no truth to this either. There is no statute which allows any governmental agency to discriminate against any applicant based upon their compliance or non - compliance with the President's program. Furthermore, based on the information available to date, the League is of the opin- ion that no local governmental entity will be subject to any kind of penalty if it exceeds 7% in a labor settlement. Of course, the situation should be carefully fol- lowed to see if Congress makes any changes in the law. Since the President made no reference to any kind of penalty to any local governmental body which exceeds the limit, the League has concluded that no penalties will in fact develop, unless a law is implemented. The result of this situation leaves the decision of whether.to comply or not to com- ply with the President's program within the sound discretion of each local govern - mental official. If you have any questions on this matter, feel free.to contact the League. Our information is based on our own research and Washington contacts as well as that supplied by the National League of Cities. We have requested that NLC pursue a num- ber of questions concerning any future program affecting city government and we will publish any additional information we receive. 300 hanover building; 460 cedar street, . saint. paul, minnesota 551 01 [612)222 -2661 DS: 91b 21 �O �a l7 16 rs 1$ 1? 16 IS ' W 13 Az 11 10 9 8 C ! r , I I I� I; ' 6 E� — n,F1C AR'R -DAC4N ' NPGK(',J�KT14- Y6F4X1A/J�T 1 TNOM °JF.1J I MAC2tEW��C1- TCGRFIISJ►•)- Nl�;FORS-KE1e�E,1 j � TEK- NETtT- CRAWfORD— .

NAF►JER Gd,V1ES— D4LE1�,L Cra�TH�Ci.'S�AuJ T0: Mayor. and Council FROM: Ken Rosland, City Manager SUBJECT: 1 1979/1980 INTERIM EMPLOYEES WAGE AND BENEFITS PLAN DATE: November 17, 1978 At the management presentation on November 8th, the development of a compensation system was discussed. As an initial step, a plan which primarily groups employees in ranges that approximate the individuals current salary trends is proposed. Changes are expected in the future, but will be refinements on the systems proposed for 1979. The proposal does incorporate the following points: a. Every position (except unionized positions and certain other positions) are plugged into either the general or public safety pay plan. b. The starting pay fora position is 80% of the top salary for the position. Interim steps are at 87% and 94 %. c. An employee starting at the 80% cannot reach top salary in less than 3 years. d. Level increases. are not automatic, but based on performance and require City Manager performance review. e. A person with relevant position experience in other organizations may start at a step greater than the initial step at the discretion of the City Manager. f. Administration of the plan must be within the bottom line total dollars authorized by the Council. g. Ranges can annually be adjusted by the Council to compensate for cost of living changes. This type of plan removes some of the guesswork and arbitrariness associated with salary administration with the past. It gives an employee an indication of the potential salary she /he can earn for appropriate job performance. Financing of the plan for the most is done through the 5% increase in salaries set forth in the budget, plus monies set aside in the contingency fund for an additional 3 %.. The plan generally amounts to an 8% increase. In order to be within the inflationary guidelines, the Council must pass no more than a recommended 6% increase for 1980. (Jerry has enclosed the required appropriations.) For the benefits side, it is recommended that the City continue to pay al.l of the single employee coverage and increase the contribution for those selecting dependent coverage from $70 to $75 per month. This is also wi.thin the _7% wage guidelines overall and within the dollars set aside for insurance coverage purposed by the Council. Graphs of the ranges and where individuals fall will be given to you prior to the meeting. KER /skh Kenneth .E.`Rosland.
