October 5,1977
To: Mayor and Council
From: Warren C. Hyde, City Manager
Subject: Ex -City Manager in Limbo
At the October 3 Council meeting you took some actions to substantiate
your previous decisions in regard to Mr. Rosland. Upon sober reflection,
however, I believe that unless you take some further actions on October 16,
technically, I will be off the payroll.
In an earlier informal memorandum I suggested a way to handle the problem,
but you decided not to go that route. In Mayor Van Valkenburg's memo-
randum of September 26 to you, he outlined what I would be doing between
now and February and detailed the arrangements that he had advised me were
to be made. I agree with most of them. Actually, the Manager's Conference
is late October, starting October 30 and ending November 2. After that,
Janet and I plan to go to Florida and be back on November 13. We are going
to Madison, Wisconsin, the weekend of October 14, leaving Friday noon. .
I am not certain what the wording of 4 -g in the Mayor's memo means. I will
be happy to take directions from the Mayor and Council. I will, of course,
cooperate fully with Mr. Rosland and I will give him all information that
he desires.
I suggest the action which should be taken at the Council meeting October 17,
if you wish to carry out the intent of the Mayor's letter of September 26, is
to appoint me as Senior Management Consultant to the Council at the currect
salary until February 21, 1978. After looking up the meaning of "emeritus -
retired or honorably discharged from active duty because of age, infirmity,
or long service, but retained on the rolls ", I think Senior Management
Consultant is preferable. I hope I can still be active until February.

3. Subdivision Phillip Smaby. Woodbury Park Second Addition. Gen -
S-77-16 and erally located east of France Avenue and south of
Rezoning West 55th Street. R -1 Single Family Residence Dis-
Z-77-15 trict to R -2 Two - Family Residence District. (Continued
from 7- 27 -77).
Refer to: attached graphics, parkland dedication
report, and letter.
Approximately one year ago, the Planning Commission considered a requested
rezoning for the subject property from R -1 and R -2 to PRD -2 Planned Residential
District. This rezoning was requested to facilitate construction of nine
townhouse units on the 72,000 square foot site. Following study of the
proposal and based in part upon considerable opposition to the proposed from
surrounding property owners, the Planning Commission denied the requested
rezoning.
The proponents are now requesting a rezoning to R -2 Two Family Dwelling
District for the western and southern portion of the property. The present
R -1 zoning is proposed to remain on the eastern and northern portion. The
attached five lot subdivision is also proposed for the subject property. Lots
2, 3, and 4 are proposed to be zoned R -2, while lots 1 and 5 would remain as
R -1.
The proponent and surrounding property owners have petitioned for
the vacation of a twenty foot wide alley located on the southern portion of
the site. This vacated alley has been incorporated into the attached subdivision.
Although this petition for vacation was considered by the Council on August 15,
it was continued until September 12, 1977, for further study.
Recommendation: Staff and the proponent have met on several occasions to
formulate a workable division of this property. Due to the very unusual shape
of the property, a conventional development such as that proposed is somewhat
difficult to achieve. In that the drawings which have been submitted are
somewhat conceptual, staff would not recommend final approval by the
Planning Commission at this time. Staff, however, would recommend concept
approval of the rezoning and subdivision request with the understanding that the
proponent prepare a survey and preliminary plat for the September 28, 1977
meeting. Staff would recommend concept approval in that:
1. The requested R -2 rezoning for lots 2,3, and 4 are appropriate due to
the site's proximity to France Avenue, a cemetery, and other R -2 develop-
ments.
2. Access to all lots from the proposed cul -de -sac street is desirable to
avoid direct access to France Avenue.
3. Lot sizes are generally consistent with surrounding properties.
Pc Staff Report - S -77 -16 and Z -77 -15
Page 2
4. The proposed development is consistent with the low density residential
character of surrounding properties.
Concept approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications:
1. Realignment of the lot line between Lots 4 and 5.
2. An acceptable developer's agreement.
3. Parkland dedication per the attached report.
4. An easement, deed restriction, or some other suitable means to ensure no
direct access from Lots 2 and 3 to France Avenue.
5. Vacation of the alley on the southern portion of the site.

The Jordan- Sandstone

Edina, Minnesota
Subject: Proposed development of vacant lot between 55th Street and the
cemetery east side of France Avenue South
Dear Mr. Hughs:
The committee of the Jordan Sandstone Homeowners Association agreed at a meeting
held June 27, 1977 to the followring points regarding the proposed development of
subject property as outlined on the attached sheet.
1. The neighborhood would not sanction any zone changes from R L to R2
as proposed in the south east corner of the property.
2. The neighborhood would want assurance that the water issue would not
be raised again; and that the developer would put in his own wells or get
water from the city via hookup west of France at the expense of the
developer alone.
3. The neighborhood would want assurance that the proposed street, curb,
gutters, sewer and any other service would not result in assessment
to any of the existing neighborhood property owners.
These concerns were discussed and approved by the neighborhood at a meeting
held July 10, 1977•
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other
member of the neighborhood association. I can be reached at 922 - 2120.
Sincerely,
Lee Christensen

Refer to: Attached graphics. September 7, 1977 Staff Report.
On September 7, 1977, the Planning Commission reviewed
concept plans for the subject subdivision and rezoning. At that
meeting, the Planning Commission granted preliminary approval for
a five lot subdivision of the property which would include three
R -2 lots. Due to the conceptual nature of the plans, however, the
Commission requested the proponent to return with a survey and
preliminary plat prior to granting formal subdivision and rezoning
approval. Attached is the preliminary plat as requested.
Recommendation: As stated in the September 7, 1377, report, staff
recommends subdivision and rezoning approval in that:
1. The requested R -2 rezoning for lots 2, 3, and 4 are
appropriate due to the site's proximity to France Avenue, a cemetery,
and other R -2 developments.
2. Access to all lots from the proposed cu -de -sac street
is desirable to avoid direct access to France Avenue.
3. Lot sizes are generally consistent with surrounding
properties.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the low
density residential character of surrounding properties.
Approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications:
1. An executed developer's agreement.
2. Parkland dedication per the attached report.
3. Construction of a berm on the westerly portion of the
site to ensure no direct- access from Lots 2 and 3 to France Avenue.

Rezoning R -1 Single Family Residence District to R -2 Two Family
Z -77 -15 Residence District. (Continued from 7- 27 -77)
Mr. G. Hughes noted that the Planning Commission received about a year ago a
rezoning proposal for the subject property. At that time, the proponents requested
rezoning was PRD -2 for the purpose of constructing nine townhouse units. Following a
great deal of study, the proposal was denied.
Mr. Hughes explained that a five lot subdivision was presently proposed. He
also noted that it is proposed to rezone Lots 2, 3, and 4 to R -2 and Lots 1 and 5
are to remain single family. Mr. Iiughes noted that Lot 2 is over 15,000 square feet;
Lots 3 and 4 are over 18,000 square feet and Lot 1 is 9,000 square feet which is the
minimum required by ordinance; and Lot 5 is 11,000+ square feet. The southern
most 20 feet of the subdivision is an alley and the City has received a petition to
vacate the alley. If it is vacated, the entire footage will be added to the plat to
the north. The vacation petition was heard at the last Council meeting and was
tabled to the September 12th meeting. Mr. Hughes explained that this property has
some unique problems; mainly configuration, but compared to previously submitted
Edina Planning Commission Minutes - Page 2 - 9 -7 -77
drawing;., this particular concept appears to address and overcome most of the
problems ,;-th the site. Mr. Hughes noted that Staff does not recommend formal
approval as the drawings are somewhat conceptual at this point. Mr. Hughes
recommended concept approval in that:
1) Lots 2, 3 and 4 are appropriate locations for R -2 rezoning in that Lots
2 and 3 abut France Avenue and Lot 4 abuts the cemetery which is located immediately
to the south,
2) Access to all lots is desirable by the cul -de -sac rather than France
Avenue,
3) Lot sizes are generally consistent with those of surrounding properties,
and
4) The proposed development is consistent with the iow density residential
characteristics of the surrounding properties.
Staff recommiends concept approval at this time with some conditions:
.1) A minor realignment of lot lines between Lots 4 and 5;
2) An executed developer's agreement by the time of.final approval and,
3) Parkland dedication, and
4) An agreement that would prevent access of Lots2 and 3 onto France Avenue.
Mr. Hughes also noted that approval would be contingent upon the vacation of the alley
on the southern portion of the property.
Frank Reese, Architect and Land Planner and Jerry Hanson, representing
the land owners appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Reese briefly
explained the proposed development.
He also showed a model of those dwellings proposed to be erected on the
R -2 lots.
Mr. S. Hughes asked if the garages would face to the east. Mr. Reese replied
that all garages would face the cul -de -sac.
Mr. S. Hughes stated that there were two or three curb cuts on France Avenue
and lie asked if they could be closed to prevent access to France Avenue. Mr. Reese
replied that this could be done. He also noted that a berm could be built along
France Avenue to prevent access.
Mr. S. Hughes moved that the Commission accept the proposal for concept
approval.
Chairman Lewis asked if there were any comments on the proposal.

Edina Planning Commission Minutes - )rage 3 - 9 -7 -77
Janie Paulis, 3705 19. 55th Street, stated that she was speaking on behalf
of the Jordon- Sandstone llomeowners Association. She stated that the Association
is in favor of the proposal except for Lot 4. She asked that R -2 zoning not be
allowed on Lot 4. Mrs. Paulis stated that Lot 4 should remain as n -1 to conform
with the remainder of the neighborhood.
Mr. Jerry Hanson, 6116 Logan Avenue South, representing Mr. Smaby, the
owner of the land, stated that Messrs. Bermel and Smaby acquired the property about
20 years ago, at which time there was an old green house on the property as well as
several other old buildings.
Mr. Hanson noted that the property has been used for trash dumping, parties,
etc. He also noted that this year, because of Dutch Elm Disease, 16 trees had to
be cut down. In regard to Lot 4, Mr. Hanson noted that the lot is 16,000+ square
feet and is more than adequate to meet the requirements for a double home and far
too large for single homes in this neighborhood.
Mr. Charles Paulin stated that Lot 4 is not in character with the others in
the neighborhood and a double house is not in character with the rest of the
neighborhood. He requested that Lot 4 remain as R -1.
Mr. Sam Hughes'stated that he did not hear any real reasons why there should
not be any more doubles in the area.
Mr. Paulis stated that her neighborhood is not considered a duplex
neighborhood.
t '
Mr. G. Hughes noted that if concept approval is given tonight, we would ask
the developer to come back at the end of the month with more detailed drawings.
Report:
Mr. Sam Hughes moved concept approval for the reasons stated in the Staff
1. The requested R -2 rezoning for Lots 2,3, and 4 are appropriate due
to the site's proximity to France Avenue, a cemetery, and other
R -2 developments.
2. Access to all lots from the proposed cul -de -sac is desirable to
avoid direct access to France Avenue.
3. Lot sizes are generally consistent with surrounding properties.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the low density
residential character of surrounding properties.

contingencies that the two curb cuts at France Avenue be closed and a berm be
constructed along France Avenue. Mr. Kremer seconded the motion. All Voted Aye

Mr. G. Hughes noted that the Commission had given concept approval for
the proposed zoning and subdivision at the September 7, 1977 Commission meeting
but requested that the proponent bring in formal plans of the site before
giving final approval. He noted that such plans had been submitted which
indicate that Lots 2, 3, & 4 are proposed for R -2 development and Lots 1 and 5
are proposed for R -1 development. Mr. G. Hughes also noted that the southern
20 feet of the plat is part of the alley which is proposed to be vacated. He
also pointed out that the line between Lots 4 and 5 had been realigned as per
the Commission's directions to the proponent. He also noted that Council action
on the alley vacation had not taken place because of the concern of the immediate
neighbors about the -diseased elan trees and the collection of debris in the
alley. Mr. Hughes noted that the City Forester had been marking the diseased
trees and the proponent had agreed to remove them as well as the debris before
the vacation of the alley takes place. Frank Reese, representing the pro-
ponent stated that the work should be completed within a week or ten days.
Mr. Charles Paulis stated that he felt that Lot 4 was ideal for R -1
and that R -2 should not be considered for.this lot.
Janie Paulis stated that when site walked down France Avenue she noted
that there were four duplex homes for rent. She also stated that Lot 4 would
be ideal for R -1 development.
Chairman Lewis stated that the property would be good for either R -1
or, R-2.
After some additional discussion, Mr. Sam Hughes moved for approval
----of-the- subdivision and rezoning for the following reasons:

2. Parkland dedication.

Subdivision Subdivision of Lot 29, Rolling Green. Generally

Mr. G. Hughes stated that this matter had been continued from the
previous meeting because the subdivision signs had not been erected. He noted
that the plan presented at the September 7, 1977 meeting indicated that the new
lot would have 39,000 square feet and the remaining lot with the existing
house would have 61,000 square feet. However, since the last meeting, the lot
line had been realigned and the proposal now showed that the newly created
lot had approximately 29,000 square feet. Mr. Hughes noted that this lot
was somewhat small in comrarison with surrounding properties. He asked the
proponent if'the line could be moved to increase the square footage and also
to give the new lot a more defined rear lot line.
Mr. S. Hughes noted that the proposed lot is not consistent with other
lots in the area. He asked that the proponent prepare a revised subdivision
proposal.
After some additional discussion, Mr. G. Johnson moved that the
Commission table this request until the November meeting. Mr. Clifford Johnson
seconded the motion. All Voted Aye. Motion Carried.

STAFF REPORT
September 7, 1977
III. New Business:
1. Subdivision Peter Deckas. Deckas Addition. Generally located
S -77 -18 and at the southwest corner of Olinger Road and Vernon
Rezoning Avenue South.
Z -77 -17
Refer to: attached graphics, June 2, 1976, Planning
Commission minutes, parkland dedication
report.
The Planning Commission may recall that a subdivision and rezoning
request was proposed for the subject property approximatley one year ago.
Ab that time, an eight lot subdivision was proposed which included three
R -2 lots located on the western portion of the site. Access to the site was
proposed to be from Vernon Avenue. In its review of this request, the Plan-
ning Commission suggested that the proponent redesign the subdivision by
1) reducing the number of lots, 2) providing access from Olinger Road rather
than Vernon Avenue and 3) locating the proposed R -2 lots along Vernon Avenue.
The present subdivision request as presented by the proponent has
been redesigned in conformance with the Planning Commission's recommenda-
tions. Lots 1, 2, and 3 which abut Vernon Avenue are proposed to be zoned
R -2, while Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 would be R -1. Access to the subdivision would
be via a short cul -de -sac from Olinger Road. In addition, the total number
of lots has been reduced to seven.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rquested rezoning and
subdivision in that:

v Z -76 -7 Peter C. Deckas. Generally located at the southwest corner of Vernon
Avenue and Olinger Road. R -1 Single Family Residence District to R -2
Multiple Residence District.
Mr. Luce explained the property in' question is presently platted into five lots
(lots 1 -5, McGary Addition) and is zoned R -1 single family residential district. The
M
F
L
6-Z -76 Planning Commission Minutes, page 3
Western Edina Plan indicates that lots along Vernon Avenue could potentially be used
for low density attached residential development.
Mr. Luce recalled the developer was informed during several discussions that
the staff would recommend against any R -2 zoning on Olinger Road, that no egress onto
Olinger Road would be allowed, and that any R -2's should egress onto Vernon Avenue.
As a result, the developer is proposing to replat the property into eight lots with
access to Vernon Avenue via a short cul- de -saced road. Three lots from 15,380
square feet to 16,875 square feet would be platted on the west side of the road and
are proposed to be rezoned to R -2 for double bungalows; the minimum lot size for an
R -2 lot is 15,000 square feet. Five single family lots would be located along the
east side of the road between that road and Olinger; four lots would be 9,360 square
feet and the fifth lot would be 11,100 square feet. The minimum size for a single
family lot is 9,000 square feet, and the lot sizes in this neighborhood are about
12,000 to 13,000 square feet.
Mr. Luce presented a sketch prepared by the planning department staff illustrating
another amnner in which the property could be divided into eight lots. He clarified
the sketch was presented only to indicate that there are other platting alternatives
available which would decrease the amount of road right -of -way, thereby increasing
the lot sizes, and which would be equally or more advantageous.
Mrs. McClelland felt access on Olinger Road would be more desirable than access
on Vernon because of the considerable amount of traffic and great number of driveway
entrances and exits on Vernon in the two -block area between Olinger and Blake Road.
Mr. G. Johnson agreed. Mr. Hughes suggested the number of lots be reduced in order to
increase the minimal lot sizes proposed.
Mr. Deckas, the proponent, indicated access to Olinger Road would be more
difficult than access to Vernon Avenue because of the topography, which slopes sharply
down from Olinger to the west.
Mrs. P. L. Dudek, 6021 Vernon Avenue, stated that traffic on Vernon in that
area is steadily increasing and more curb cuts would only aggravate the problem.
After lengthy discussion the Planning Commission generally agreed the project
should be redesigned with access to Olinger Road. Mr. Runyan suggested the F -2 zoning
would be more appropriate along Vernon Avenue, and Mr. Hughes suggested the number of
lots be reduced.
Mr. Thomas Wagner, 6056 Olinger, objected to the development as presented by
Mr. Deckas because his front yard would face the rear yards of the single family lots.
He added he would also object to an access on Olinger, as suggested by the Planning
Commission, because he "would not want the traffic from two double bungalows and six
houses exiting onto Olinger across from my driveway ".
After additional discussion, Mr. Hughes moved the requested subdivision and
rezoning be continued to the next meeting (July 7th) to give the developer an
opportunity to meet with the staff and to redesign the project, based on the
suggestions made by the Planning Commission, with the road access onto Olinger
instead of Vernon. Mr. G. Johnson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion
carried.

S -77 -18 southwest corner of Olinger Road and Vernon Avenue South.
and Rezoning R -1 Single Family Residence District to R -1 and R -2 Two
Z -77 -17 Family Residence District.
Mr. Hughes noted that this request is on a parcel of property that was
considered about a year ago on Olinger Road and Vernon Avenue. In 1976, a proposal
was submitted for an eight lot subdivision. The west lots zoned to R -2 and the
east lots R -1 and access was proposed from Vernon Avenue. At that time, the
Commission advised the developer to redesign the subdivision by reducing the number
of lots and providing access from Olinger Road rather than Vernon Avenue and having
the proposed R -2 lots along Vernon Avenue rather than along the western side of the
property. The proponent has returned and has essentially followed the recommendations
given by the Planning Commission. This subdivision sows a short cul -de -sac off
Olinger Road and the number of lots has been reduced to seven. Mr. Hughes noted
that the R -1 lots measure 13,000 to 14,000 square feet and the R -2 lots measure
16,000 to 17,000 square feet. Mr. Hughes noted that Staff recommends approval of
the subdivision and rezoning in that it has been redesigned in conformance with
Commission recommendations. Mr. Hughes recommended approval with the following
conditions: 1) access for Lots 1, 2 and 3 must be off the cul -de -sac, not
Vernon Avenue; 2) developer's agreement; 3) parkland dedication prior to final
approval; and 4) the berm on the north must be located entirely on private property.
Mr. Gordon Johnson moved that the proposed subdivision and rezoning be
approved in accordance with the Staff's recommendations, conditions and modifications
Mr. Clifford Johnson. seconded the motion. All Voted Aye. Motion Carried. 0
Subdivision Subdivision of Lot 29, Rolling Green. Generally located
S -77 -19 southwest of Annaway Drive and southeast of Bywood West.
Subdivision Jeam Addition. Garth 0. Holmes. Generally located south
S -77 -20 of West 63rd Street and west of Warren Avenue.
Mr. Gordon Hughes noted that for the past year or two, the City has had the
requirement of posting signs to notify the public and adjacent property owners of
pending subdivisions. Mr. Hughes reported that the proponent's had not erected
signs as required. From Staff's point of view, it is unfair to other individuals
who have erected signs in accordance with the ordinance and it is unfair to consider
the requests at this time.
Mr. Hughes recommended that both subdivision requests be continued until
September 28, 1977.
Mrs. McDonald moved to continue the subdivision requests because of the
sign regulations. Mr. Clifford Johnson seconded the motion. All Voted Aye.
Motion Carried.

SANITARY SEWER
IMPROVEMENT NO. P -SS -345
EASEMENT LINE FROM ALLEY IN BLOCK 1 WEST MINNEAPOLIS HEIGHTS EAST TO DEARBORN ST.
The Edina City Countil will on Monday, October 17, 1977, at 7:00 P.M., at the Edina
City Hall, 4801 West 50th Street, hold a Public Hearing on the necessity and
feasibility of constructing sanitary sewer as above. The area proposed to be
assessed for this project is the property to be served by the project either
immediately or in the future. Your receipt of this notice is an indication that
property whose ownership is listed to you is among those properties which are
considered to be benefited and is proposed to be assessed. The City Council can
authorize the proposed project immediately upon the close of the hearing.
The estimated total cost of this project is $7,689.49. This cost is proposed
to be assessed at a rate of $2,000.00 per connection for immediate service (312
Dearborn St.) and $948.25 per connection for future service. This improvement,
if approved, and weather permitting, would be constructed during the 1977
construction season.
The present condition of the municipal bond market makes it difficult to determine
the annual rate of interest that will be charged on the unpaid balance, but it
will not exceed the maximum allowed by law.
Any inquiries, comments and /or suggestions you may have regarding these improvements
may be forwarded to the City Council or Engineering Department prior to the Hearing
or presented at the Hearing itself. If you desire additional information, please
call me at 927 -8861 between 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday.

The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the Edina City Council
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Last week Tuesday, the Richfield planning department received
a notice of a public hearing on the proposed Southeast Edina
Redevelopment Plan: It is my understanding that a hearing on
this matter will be held by the Edina City Council tonight.
We have not had a great deal of time to study the proposed project
in terms of its potential impact on the City of Richfield. However,
I would like to use this letter as a means of making you aware of
our concerns. Mr. Krier, our planning and redevelopment director,
has expressed these same reactions to Edina staff representatives.
There is no question but that the assisted family housing project
proposed for the parcel of land at the corner of 76th Street and York
Avenue will be a community benefit to the City of Edina. It is our
opinion that in some situations it could also be an important housing
resource for the City of Richfield. It is our understanding that tax
increment funds will be used to acquire the land for this project.
While we do not disagree with the use of tax increment funds for this
purpose, we are unsure as to whether the tax increment district will
include more than the assisted family housing parcel. Inasmuch as
a considerable portion of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan is
included in the Richfield School District, we would prefer that as
little as possible non - blighted, undeveloped land be incorporated
in the tax increment district.
The other two areas which we have not yet had an opportunity to
fully study relate to the potential of increased traffic on 76th Street
and-the possible effect that storm water run off could have in the
City of Richfield.

Existing traffic on 76th Street has already reached a level D standard. The DMJM
study defined level D traffic and street conditions as being inadequate for safe,
congestion -free traffic movement. We are concerned that the proposed Southeast
Edina Redevelopment Plan will increase traffic volume on 76th Street and contribute
to additional congestion at the intersection of Penn.Avenue and 76th Street and also
at the Penn Avenue and I -494 interchange.
As you know, we have had very poor experience in the Adams Hill Ponding area
since storm water from a portion of the York Avenue development was diverted to
this pond several years ago. In addition, water draining from development in the
City of Edina as a result of the August 30, 1977 rain storm sever.elyflooded many
homes in the City of Richfield along Xerxes Avenue. We are aware that Edina has
the development of plans under way and has made a commitment to correct the Adams
Hill Ponding area problems. However, in view of this problem and the August 30th
rain storm problem we would like the opportunity to examine potential development
in this southeast area to insure that the City of Richfield and its citizens will not
be adversely effected.
We appreciate being advised of your hearing tonight and have brought these matters
to your attention so that they can be fully considered prior to any action taken on the
proposed plan. We would like to suggest that the potential drainage and traffic
problems be examined both by the cities of Edina and Richfield so that the necessary
measures needed to prevent any potential problems can be considered at the time
when final action occurs on the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan.
I am sending a copy of my letter to Dr. Bruce Anderson, Richfield Superintendent
of Schools, since this area does fall within the Richfield School District and aspects
of the plan such as tax increment finances are as important to the school district
as to the city.
Sincerely yours,

MINUTES OF THE EDINA PLANNING COMMISSION
' HELD WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1977
RE: SOUTHEAST EDINA.REDEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW
Mr. Gordon Hughes stated that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of
Edina was to hold a hearing on the Southeast Edina Plan, but according to
statute, the plan must first be presented to the Planning Commission for
their review and comment. After the Commission forwards its comments,
the H.R.A. could proceed with its hearing and send its findings to the City
Council for review and public hearing.
Mr. G. Hughes indicated that the boundaries of the plan had been altered
somewhat in that the H.R.A. had opted to reduce the area and the tax increment
.financing district.
Mr. Hughes explained that the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan provides
a tool through the .tax increment financing process, for implementing Edina's
low and moderate income and elderly housing requirements. He noted that there
was not a final financing plan to' review at this time, but this will soon be
available for review. The Planning Commission should note that the revised
Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan indicates lower densities than that of the
South Edina Plan. Because of the lower density, traffic generation will be
somewhat alleviated on France Avenue.
The Staff advised that the Planning Commission recommend the implementation
of the revised Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan, and concur with and adopt
the findings and conlcusions of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan as
follows:
1. The development of the Plan Area as proposed by this plan relates to
definite local objectives as to appropriate and uses in the area.
2. The land .being acquired is vacant or is used for low utility purposes.
3. The land being acquired may be.developed at costs reasonably related
to the public purposes to be served without major residential clearance
activities.
4. The uses to be made of the property pursuant to the plan are consistent
with emphasis on housing for low and moderate income families..
5. The land.in the project area would not be available for development
pursuant to the plan without financial aid to be sought pursuant to the plan.
6. The plan affords a maximum opportunity, consistent-with sound needs
of the locality as a whole, for development by private enterprise.
7. The plan conforms to the general plan of the municipality for develop-
ment of the locality as a whole.
8. There is a shortage of low and moderate income-housing in Edina.
9. Such shortage is inimical to the safety, health, morals, and welfare
of the community.

Edina Planning Commission Minutes
Re: Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan
Page -2-
Mr. Greg Luce, Professional Management Services, Inc., Mankato,.Mn.,
representing Ryan Construction Co., indicated that this developer is interested
in constructing low and moderate income housing in the Southeast Edina area.
He reviewed the concepts contained -in the South Edina Plan, the Edina Housing
Assistance Plan, and the DMJM study. He explained that the original
redevelopment plan included the area along France Avenue, however, the
Council requested that a smaller area be considered at this time. Mr. Luce
also noted that the City of Richfield is supporting this development as they
realize they will generate some school age children which will be beneficial
to the school system.
Mr. Luce explained to the Commission some of the financial aspects of the
redevelopment plan such as the tax .increment plan and how this plan affects the
City. This development.will be made with no state aid and no community develop-
ment funds.
Mr. Kremer noted that the property would be sold for less than market value
to developers in order to. get the type of development that is wanted in the
area. He also stated that he had spent time reviewing this plan and it is a
concept that will work, but because the size has been cut down, he.was finding
it difficult to adjust from the first proposal to the second proposal and would
like to'see how the numbers worked out to the smaller area. He would accept the
land use and would encourage and support the concept but wanted clarification-of
the finance plan.
Mr. Luce noted that the purpose of the Planning Commission review is in
regard to land use review. zoning will come later and proposed developments
will have to.come before the Commission.
Mr. Kremer suggested that a special meeting be called to review the re-
development plan in more detail. He noted the Commission could move to approve
the plan in concept, but should have more time to study it.
Mr. Luce noted that the H.R.A. cannot proceed without some concept approval
from the Commission.
After considerable discussion, Mr. Sam Hughes moved that the Commission
approve the concept with the reservation that the facts be studied further.
Following further discussion regarding the plan, Mr. .Kremer suggested that the
Planning Commission table the matter for ten days and have Mr. Luce return with
revised maps and financial plans for further study.
Chairman Lewis noted that the Commission does,not have an obligation to
be concerned about the financing of the project.
Mr. Gordon Hughes inquired if the Commission could approve a resolution
which would specify those items of the plan with which the Planning Commission
agrees so that the H.R.A. could have some idea of their feelings. It was the
general opinion of the Commission that they would and could not approve the
resolution in any form until they had had an opportunity to review the
matter further.

Re: Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan

After considerable discussion about the tax increment plan and how the
revised plan would affect,the general area, Mr. Sam Hughes offered the
following motion: The Planning Commission approves in concept the land use
portion of the plan, but due to the shortness of time to study the details,
thereof, the Planning Commission was - unable to make any comments on the
balance of the plan. Mr. Cliff Johnson seconded the motion. All Voted

As a city manaf;er you are wondering
today tirhat to do about your
community's energy needs
tomorrow...
Now, for the first time, you and members of your planning or engineering
staff can learn what other farsighted communities are doing to meet their
growi.n g energy problem.
Battelle, one of the nation's most distinguished research organizations and
the largest non - profit research group in the world, is holding, a two -day
Executive Briefing on Integrated Ca=mity Energy Systems Plaizrdng.
This is not an ivory tower forum on energy conservation or symposium on
national energy policies. Rather, it is a regionally based, dollars and
cents oriented, practical approach to finding feasible solutions to the
energy problems that threaten the prosperity of your community.
At this briefing you'll learn how to quickly audit the present and future
energy needs of your comunity; who should take complete charge of the
energy program for your co=urdty; the role that private companies mast
play in developing the community energy plan and how to get them to do it;
what new technologies hold the greatest promise for your region of the
country; the possibilities — and limitations -- of using wastes as energy
sources; what simple changes in construction codes can do to cut energy
consumption; the role of the Federal Government in encouraging and supporting
community energy planning; and much more.
In addition, you'll have an opportunity to discuss these ideas with members
of the Battelle energy team: architects, engineers, geologists, economists
and other professionals who have worked with many communities developing

If your com-, u L ty has not yet considered developing an energy plan, this
briefing represents a timely opportiu-iity to explore at first hand what
energy planning is all about, what other communities are doing, and ianat
the consequences of failing to act now may be.
And if — as you should be — you are already planning for your area's
energy requirements, then this briefing will give you dozens of fresh

Now, for the first time, you and members of your planning or engineering
staff can learn what other farsighted communities are doing to meet their
growi.n g energy problem.
Battelle, one of the nation's most distinguished research organizations and
the largest non - profit research group in the world, is holding, a two -day
Executive Briefing on Integrated Ca=mity Energy Systems Plaizrdng.
This is not an ivory tower forum on energy conservation or symposium on
national energy policies. Rather, it is a regionally based, dollars and
cents oriented, practical approach to finding feasible solutions to the
energy problems that threaten the prosperity of your community.
At this briefing you'll learn how to quickly audit the present and future
energy needs of your comunity; who should take complete charge of the
energy program for your co=urdty; the role that private companies mast
play in developing the community energy plan and how to get them to do it;
what new technologies hold the greatest promise for your region of the
country; the possibilities — and limitations -- of using wastes as energy
sources; what simple changes in construction codes can do to cut energy
consumption; the role of the Federal Government in encouraging and supporting
community energy planning; and much more.
In addition, you'll have an opportunity to discuss these ideas with members
of the Battelle energy team: architects, engineers, geologists, economists
and other professionals who have worked with many communities developing
energy plans for their particular needs.

Several years, ago, in response to a growing number of
requests from clients as-well as increasing concern among its
own professional staff, Battelle's Columbus Laboratories
undertook the first of what was to be a series of rigorous
research assignments to explore how communities -- ranging
from giant megalopolises to small clusters of commercial and
industrial buildings — could reduce their dependence on tra-
ditional oil and natural gas energy resources.
The Battelle Recommendations
In the light of developments since then — the Arab oil
embargo, the fuel crisis of the v✓intcr of 1976 -77, President
Carter's controversial new energy program — the resulting
studies were remarkably prescient. Battelle scientists v,•arned
that both governmental and industrial consumers of energy
could hp lonoer count on virtually inexhaustible supplies of
cheap energy. Instead, they advised that strong measures
would soon have to be taken; first, to curb the nation's appar-
ently insatiable appetite for energy, and second, to develop
fresh now sources of energy to replace the diminishing supplies
of the old.
From the beginning, hov✓ever, the focus of the Battelle
studies %vas markedly different from numerous other energy
analyses. Instead of concentrating on nationaf energy policies,
Battelle's scientists, engineers, psychologists, architects, and
other experts devoted a significant portion of their effort to
helping communities, both industrial and governmental, to
respond to a period of increasing energy shortages.
The resulting studies, based on thousancis of hours of
intense involvement by Battelle's professional staff, have
formed the basis for the development of Battelle's Integrated
Community Energy Systems Planning, which is now being
studied and applied in a variety of locations throughout the
United States.
Integrated Community Energy Systems Planning is
essentially a way of balancing the energy requirements of a
community with its energy resources. The concept of a corn-
munity, as used here, is not limited to a political division. It
includes shopping centers and cities, industrial parks and
tov ✓nships, plants and villages: in short, any group that shares
the same source of energy supply.
There are three essential components to the approach.
First, there is the energy audit, a highly systematized method
for assembling all know ✓n (and estimated) data on the commu-
nity's present and future energy rorluirements to the year
2000. This audit not only provides the hart( data on which vital
planning decisions can be based: it is the critical first step in
gaining widespread community acceptance for the energy
planning process itself.
The second major step is the assessment o; political and
economic needs. How can industrial and residential needs be
accommodated? 1Nhat voice should each group have in deter-
mining the energy plan? What is the role of private industry
versus public participation? Which government officials should
play the decisive role in framing the details of the plan? These
are the kinds of sensitive but highly critical issues that must
be considered in any plan.
Finally, in the third step, the actual evaluation and
arrangement of haroltvare begin. Plants, distribution channels,
building design, reprocessing, retrofitting: these and dozens of
other options must be subjected to careful scientific, technical,
and economic analysis.
The Challenge Ahead
Business firms are quite accustomed to planning new
products and production techniques. Governmental units,
while somewhat less familiar with the planning process, do
engage in it extensively in such areas as land use. For most
business and governmental communities, however, energy
planning is a• distinctively new concept. At this briefing mem-
bers of the Battelle energy team and selected representatives of
government and industry will, for the first time, publicly
discuss this innovative new approach for dealing with one of
the most significant problems of our time.

The Fa!Itrcics of it fvirtiotu,l Energy Program
Richard J. Andcrsun
Consultant
b'al U'lle- Columbus
"One of tho f,:ll.r:ics ,Ii;rr -Ir! in this /,-Intl is that tll::re is a single
national sollItion to On: c ^+Ira;- ;uuhlern. In actcrality, th ire is
no one fnrinud,I that is (101/13 to fit the needs of all the regions
of this vest rountry.
The case for a single national energy pulicy has br:en repeated
endlessly — by rlovern,nent officials, by the media, and even
by the executiV es of cncr(Jy co1r)!)anir•s. But in this provocative
and controvarsi;il dISCU;SOn, P. chard J. Anderson, a Battelle
consultant and nationally recognized energy authority, will
shatter the myth ghat a single national policy can solve the
country's energy problams. In the Northeast, for example,
points out [01. Anderson, there is virtually no prospect for
solar energy, t-,hile in the Vest solar po',ver can one day p!ay
a significant rola. Likewise hydroelectric en::rgy plays a
critical role in the Northe,est but is of virtually no importance
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other f,ilid- ',Vestern states. "One
formula is riot going to solve our problems," says Mh. Anderson.
"What we need is not one national energy policy but a series
of community and regional energy plans."
Energy Planning: The Community Must Take Charge
C. M. ( "it %dal ") Ailcn
Executive Briefing Chairman
Senior Research Scientist
Energy Systems and Environmental Research
Battelle- Columbus
"The severe economic shocks to which so many communities
were exposed during the 1916 -77 winter were not the conse-
quence of inadequate federal programme. ,gather they were
caused by the failure of local community administrators and
planners. "
While most look to Vilashington, D.C. to "solve" the energy
crisis, the real solution must be found by cornr,iunity leaders,
both governmental and business, says C. ". ( "AQaI ") Allen, a
senior Battelle scientist who, as Program Manager for its
Community Energy Systems Planning Research, has directed
Battelle projects in Virginia and California and regional plan
developments in the Southeastern, Mountain, East North
Central States and Canada. Mr. Allen will explain why the
community, rather than the federal government, is the key to
energy planning, describe the critical elements of Integrated
Community Energy Systems Planning and explore the prin-
cipal options that confront community officials. "Either
the community must make some hard decisions now," says
Mr. Allen, "or that' will be made for it when its back is against
the wall in a few years."

"You have to design for what the total energy deinaiia of the
community will lu two years from now, . . .. . ten years,
indeed for the remainder of the century."
Too often, analyzing a commumity's energy consumption con.
sists of little more, than a simple calculation of current
monthly consumption. Two engineers who for years have
specialized in the application of energy estim,jlion t-:chniques
will show how an audit must answer: (1) How much energy
is used by fixed facilities? (2) What is the energy flow?
(3) How does energy consumption vary by time and season?
and, (4) What are the best estirnates of the community's
energy requirements?

In most communities, industry is the biggest consumer of
energy and the key to energy stability. What steps are key
corporations taking to conserve energy? And how are they
ensuring adequate fresh sources of supply? What are the social
responsibilities of heavy energy consumers? Citing actual
experiences and focusing on particular energy problems in
each region of the country, four energy experts from the
nation's leading corporations will answer these fundamental
questions. They will disclose the kinds of corporate energy
programs that worked — as well as those that didn't. They will
consider what role corporations should pL:y in shaping com-
munity energy policies. And they will discuss the unique
problems of their particular industries.
The Silent Gluttons
Thomas Martineau
Research Architect
Housing Research, Community,
Regional and Environmental Planning
Battelle - Columbus
"The enormity of energy consumption by motor vehiclos is
readily apparent. But underneath the anonymous facade of a
glass offire tower or in the basement of unassumingsuburban
split- levels, the waste of British thermal units occurs with
equal or greater abandon. "
ktihile the automobile gets the chief blame for the nation's
ravenous anerrry appetite, perhaps the chief opportunity for
communities to actually reduce energy consumption is its
housing stock. Thomas Martineau, an architect and community
planning specialist who, as early as the mid- 19G0'%, was recom-
mending that lighting levels he reduced in new buildings and
that architects ha required to design buildings with minimal
heating and cooling loads, v'ill show how in:ent,ives can he

lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation needs in both new

Utilizing Wastes: Fact or Fantasy?
Richard B. Engdahl
Consultant
Battelle- COiUmbus
"In the pest we've neglecter/ many of the o;:portunities to
turn waste into erlen•y. Today, ii anything, vve are excessively
optimistic. "
For many communities, squeezed by a shortage of energy on
the one hand and a !act: of sites for waste disposal on the other,
the idea of transiomiing costly kvaste and sludge into valuable
fuel and po,eer is one of the most alluring prospects of the late
1970's. But while these dreams are not total fantasy, the fact
is, as Richard B. Engdahl, one the the %vorld's leading experts
on incineration systems, will demonstrate, the financial and
environmental costs of taming trash into cash are iar more
formidable than often recognized. Still, says ffr. Engdahl,
who has worked closely on highly adaanced waste to energy
plants in Germany, France, Engiand and a dozen other Euro-
pean countries, municipalities will have to proceed. Says
Mr. Engdahl: "They simply have no other choice."
Evaluating Alternative Energy Systems
David A. Ball
Researcher, Combustion and Alternate Fuels
Energy Systems and Environmental Research
Battelle - Columbus
"/:lost cC!mmonities in this country developed on a very hap-
hazard hasis and have decentralized systems that have evolved
around very large if tili t y net v✓orks. "
What new energy sources must communities develop to lessen
the burden on existing systems? flow can a community
evaluate which particular systems are best for its particular
needs? David A. Ball will analyze the pros and cons of all the
major new systems that a sophisticated community energy
plan must consider: coal nasification, fluidized -bed type
boilers, integrated solar assisted heat pumps, V.'aste fueled
boilers, solar hot %-eater and space heating. Then he will c!emon.
strate how community and industrial planners can analyze
cacti alternative taking into account their mdlicionous energy
resources as well as geographical, climatic, and us:;ge character-
istics.
Applying "Life Cycle Budgeting" to Energy Problems
Donald Boyle, P. E.
Regional Engineer
Department of Health, Education and Welfare
Boston
"Too many organizations worry about the immediate costs of
a new energy system and irtnore the long term s :ivings. Life
cycle budgeting is a way to avoid that expensive error. "
`What- fitancial--toOR Cain il cUlllllltllllty IISC to evaluate aller-
native energy systems? How can future cost savings be weighed
against picsent cash outlays? What mistakes are many com-
rnunitir; presently nrakiny in costing out energy expenditures?
Draveing on extensive experience with conllllunllles throughout
the nation, first as Chief of the Developmental Division, Office
Of Plarininq and Development, Office of Facilities, Engineering
and Property Miiaminemcnt, Department of Health, Education,
and VIelfaie in 'Washington, D.C. and presently as Regional
Engineer (Il'oston) for HEW, Donald Boyle, citing numerous
actual case studies, will demonstrate how new energy projects
can be properly costed — and the expensive consequences of
faulty costing techniques.
Shaping Consumer Attitudes:
The Overlooked Ingredient
Lawrence G. U:ching
Staff Psychologist
Training and Human Performance
Battelle- COlu,tlblJS
"As soon as the government starts creatir;gartificial incentives
and disincentives it must understand that psychology —as well
as dollars — is at work in every consumer purchase decision. "
What kinds of cost incentives (and disincentives) actually
influence energy consumption? In this provocative discussion,
psychologist Lawrence Vdellinct explores why some increases in
costs can sharply cut consumption —while others have virtually
no effect; .hy reba.tes are frequently more powerful incentives
to conserve than straight cost reductions; why any change in
pricing must be accompanied by systematic and extensive
publicity; and why consumers are far more influenced by dif-
ferences in capital acquisition costs than by monthly operating
expenses.
How Pollution Led One Community Toward a Solution
Robert M. Z%veig, M.D.
Practicing Physician
President, Pollution Control Research Institute
Chairman, Environmental Health Committee
Riverside County Medical Association, Riverside, California
"There is no such thing as a non - polluting fuel — not even
solar energy. "
A few years ago, Riverside, 6alifornia, in the heart of the high-
ly polluted South Coast Air Basin area, was declared one of
the nation's most pollution ridcien communities. Today, as a
result of efforts by practicing physician Robert Zv�,eig and
other community leaders, it has begun a major effort to reduce
pollution levels significantly zinc], vvorking closely with Battelle,
has launched a program to make itself largely energy self -
sufficient by 19c'.15. Based on his many years of active involve-
ment, Dr. Zrdeig will discuss the innovative Riverside experi-
ence, and offer suggestions for other communities on the
environmental considerations in community energy planning.

Tile Promise of Geothermal Energy (Los Angeles,
December 6 -7)
C. Richard Schuller
Director, Science and Government Study Center
Battelle's Human Affairs Research Centers, Seattle
Clarence H. Bloomster
Staff Engineer
Battelle - Northwest
"Geothermal energy has an excellent potential as a multi-
purpose rene:�-ahle resource which may be developed over the
next 7.5 to 50 years. "
For many k',!estern areas, the proximity of geothermal energy
resources is one of the most exciting potential soluiions to
their energy problems. Recent studies indicate that commun-
ities within 50 miles of a geothermal source may vvell be able
to use geothermal energy for a vide variety of resideniia I and
industrial uses. And for purely electric po %per, communities at
even greater distances may utilize geothermal sources. To do
so, however, a cormunity must overcome a substantial number
of non - technical and economic problems. C. Richard Schuller,
who has directed in analysis of the legal, institutional and
political problems Of prOdUcing electric pov.,er frorn geothermal
resources in California, and Clarence H. Bloomster vvho, for
the past four years, has specialized in the economics of geo-
thermal energy uses in France and England as vvell as in the
United States, will detail the obstacles that confront the devel-
opment of geothermal energy in the West and suggest what can
be done to overcome them.

serious limitations for energy planning. "
Traditionally, the community planning function has focused
on land use. In the future, ho.Yver, cneigy efficiency mrlst
become another r;oal of the planning process. John R. Hagely,
an architect Who has conducted numerous studies of building
design and community planning, will explain %vity energy
criteria should be inclucicd in the planning process. Carefully
planned community clusters, Mr. I- lagely believes, offer the
I)r.st uI)portunity tO reduce energy consumption by decreasing
the necessity for transportation, increasing the us -.lc, of waste
heat from industrial processes arid, by intelligent siting, cutting
overall residential heating requirements by as much as eight
percent.
THE LEGISLATIVE ADDRESS
Technology is only part of the problem: planning is only
one element of the solution. In order to implement prudent
energy conservation policies and practical alternative energy
programs, enormous institutional and cultural barriers must be
overcome and difficult social choices must be made
These changes necessarily involve significant political issues.
At each of the executive briefings, a distinguished political
leader who is familiar with both the national energy scene and
the energy problems of that particular region of the country
will examine these complex political issues. In particular,
each will discuss the progress of President Carter's energy pro-
gram and will consider the role that the federal government
should play in assisting community cncrgy planning.
At the Los Ancleles executive briefing (December 6 -7) the
Honorable George E. Brovvn, Jr., United States Representative
from the 36th District of California v✓ill address the group.
Representative Brov ✓n is a member of the Agricultural Com-
mittee, the Science and Technology Committee, the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy, and the Technology Assess-
ment Board. He is noted for his personal commitment to
finding workable solutions to the energy problem and for his
comprehensive understanding of the issues.
The Chicago, Atlanta, and Boston briefings will also be ad-
dressed by a distinguished state or federal official who will
share with you his views on the difficult political decisions
that lie ahead.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE BRIEFING:
Each participant will receive a bound copy of "Integrated
Community Energy Systems Planning: The State -of -the -Art
Report," which will be an invaluable reference tool for
developing a community energy plan.
After each presentation as well as during a special. reception
at the end of the first day, attendees will have the oppor-
tunity to meet personally with members of the Battelle energy
teirn to ask additional questions and to discuss their own
community's energy problems.
After the conclusion of the formal sessions, Roundtables will
be organized by subject area, at which you will be able to ex-
change vieves with other attendees as vvoil as the Battelle pro-
fessional staff on a variety of key energy issues. Each par-
ticipant at the Roundtable will share your interest in that
subject matter.

Dear Interested Persons:
Transportation Advisory Board
Mrs. Martha Norton
St. Paul Planning Board
As you may be aware, the Transportation Advisory Board
has appointed a Major River Crossings Task Force to
Ralph B. Otte
Washington Co. Commissioner
study the major bridges and river crossings prcposed
and existing, in the :,Ietropolitan Area. The study
George Pennock
purpose is to determine a priority listing for funding
Ms. Jeri Rasmussen
and construction, and to recommend such other actions.
Harry A. Reed
as are relevant prior to July, 1978. The task force
is interested in input fro-m those people directly
affected by the particular bridges under consideration
(see enclosed list).. There is probably at least one
bridge under consideration, quite likely more, that
will affect your geographic area.
We are writing to request that you assist us in
developing criteria which would help ultimately in
setting the priorities for construction or recon-
struction to be done on all of' the various river
crossing bridges in the Metropolitan Area. There-
fore, would you kindly send us your thoughts, particu-
larly with regard to the major factors which you feel
ought to be paramount in consideration of any bridge
in your area, the major items of concern to the
people and citizens of your area, and the factors
which you feel might tend to make the bridge in
your area a priority project. We would also be
very interested in your general observation as to
the types of considerations that should go into a
comparison of all of the bridges in the Metropolitan
Area.
An Agency Created to Coordinate the Planning and Development of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Comprising:

A list of the types of criteria, not in the
order of priority, that the committee is con-
sidering is enclosed. We would be most interested
also in your reaction to that list and any sugges-
tions for additions or modifications that you
think would be helpful. Since-one of the criteria
under consideration is consistency with local plans,
would you please appraise the cc =it`ee or any local
plans that relate to the river crossings identified.
Your response within the next two or three weeks
would be appreciated.
It is the intention of

FROM: Fran Hoffman
SUBJECT: Major River Crossings Task Force
l -B
The four major river crossings which affect our geographical area are the Highway
169 - Shakopee (open), Hennepin County 18 - Bloomington (closed), MN & S Railroad
Bridge - Savage (closed) and I -35W - Bloomington (open).
The major concern that we have at this time is the lack of a bridge between I -35W
and Shakopee on the Minnesota River. The temporary Bloomington Ferry Bridge which
will be opened this winter will provide short -term relief to this problem. The
second concern is the apparent policy of the Metropolitan Council to go "slow" on
additional bridge crossings in the southwest Metro area to curtail urban sprawl.
In conversations with Hennepin County, City of Bloomington, and City of Eden Prairie
staff, it is agreed that a permanent crossing in the area of County Road 18 should
be established. The timing of the permanent river crossing is in question at this
point but the site should be established so zoning and building arrangements on
both sides of the river can be established.
The major factors which make this crossing a priority project are noted in the
criteria list suggested for establishing priorities for major river crossings. The
following criteria should be considered the most important:
1. Structural adequacy and safety on existing bridges.
2. Impact on alternative route bridges if bridge is closed or not built.
3. Impact on travel time, the total increase of travel time by alternative
routes.
4. Energy savings /air - pollution reduction if new bridge is built.
The other twelve (12) criteria listed are criteria which should be measured with
"the outstate significance criteria" being a major consideration as related to
bridges on the interstate system.

did not tell me of toe whole plans as disclosed in his onor rye nora- ndu_-a to the
head of the planni no° department dated Jan. 30, 1976 and marked Exhibit "A"
Since t%•.at call there has been some digging exposing the remains of
the old mill footings
and 1 an informed some remains of a b-ro_�en generator,
some odds and ends of rusted nuts and bolts and a full quota of old "coke"
bottles have been unearthed. The hole has remained un:iorked except for a few
loads of sand anich have been brought in in furtherance of TI-iat I a:-n told by neighbors
is the present plat, to change the E-rade of the site leaving exposed the old footings
which in :^y humble ooLriion is the creation of what is terzed an "attractive nusiarce"

plan as outlined in 7=r Sands Memo of Jan. 10, 1976 (:exhibit A) to seek to "restore"
the old mill.
Upon e.ta- inati on of the City Clerks records the only action of the

SUBJECT: CO: "- IUZIITY DEVELOPelE2iT BLOCK GR7\1111T PROGRA.,t TO RECONSTRUCT EDINA MILLS
GRIST MILL, BR0NND ALE AVENUE AT 1-iEST 50TH STFvjET
This activity is eligible under Category 2c, the reconstruction of historic
properties.
Historical Background
The Edina Mills was one of the earliest structures in the City of Edina. Built
in 1857, the Edina :dills was a major factor in the development of this region
from territorial times. It was a dominant force in the community for many
years, serving as a center of commerce and a focus for other con - nunity development.
The Edina Mills continued in operation until 1895 as a water power mill. Then
the water level in Minnehaha Creek sank so low that it could no longer turn the
water wheel. Auxiliary power was. added, however, the mill gradually declined in
importance. It was finally demolished in 1932.
Little remains today to mark the location of this important site. The Edina Mills
site is located in Dwight Williams Park at the south end of Browndale Avenue
just north of Ulest 50th Street. A small stone marker is all that marks the mill
site today.
Restoration work
The objective of this effo�;� - -` ultimately restore an authentic operating
grist mill that ::ill capture the hermitage of the City of Edina and the metropolitan
area.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sue Hackbarth, Christmas Party Chairman
DATE: October 17, 1977
SUBJECT: CITY OF EDINA EMPLOYEE'S CHRISTMAS PARTY
The 1977 City of Edina Employee's Christmas Party is scheduled for Friday,
December 9th, and will again be held at the Richfield VFW.
As in the past, we are trying to keep the costs down to a bear minimum. Of
course, our largest expenditures are the dinner itself and the band. The
Committee donates many hours of work, with their only compensation being a
small corsage to wear at the party. All of the prizes that are given are
donated, with the exception of the two free dinners. Unfortunately, with
the increase of prices, we have had to raise the ticket cost to $8.00 this
year.(Please see the chart below.)
It.is my understanding that the City Council has been discussing the possibility
of contributing to this employee function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For each $100 donated, we would be able to reduce the ticket cost by 50t.
Any expediency in making a decision on this matter would be appreciated, as
the party is only seven weeks from this Friday. Thank you for your consideration.
Dinner
Hor d'oeuvres (751 per person)
Tax (4% - dinner s hor d'oeuvres)

MEMORANDUM
October 12, 1977
To: Warren C. Hyde, City Manager
Members of the City Council
From: Arlin Waelti, Paralegal Administrative Assistant
Subject: Query - Whether the City may pay from public funds all or any
portion of the Christmas party for employees and /or their spouses.
Minnesota law leaves the answer to this question to the discretion of the govern-
ing body, subject to some guidelines. The case law generally cited regarding
this matter is an old case, Burns v. Essling, 156 Minn. 171, 194 N.W. 404 (1923)
in which the Supreme Court stated,
The mere fact that some private interest may derive an incidental
benefit from an activity does not deprive the activity of its public
nature if its primary purpose is public.
The discretion of the Council to make the determination of whether there is a
sufficient public purpose involved is given in Lindquist v. Abbett, 196 Minn. 233,
265 N.W. 54 (1936) where the State Supreme Court stated, in regard to whether a
school board had the authority to spend public funds on permanent legal counsel,
That discretion being executive, its exercise is not subject to review
generally by the judiciary. There may arise cases where its exercise,
when challenged in appropriate litigation, will appear to have been in
bad faith, or so.unreasonable as to,be arbitrary and capricious and,
hence, beyond the power granted . It is not here.
Having determined that (1) an incidental private benefit is insufficient to
negate a valid public purpose and (2) the Council has the discretion to make that
determination, the attached Attorney General's Opinions and League memorandum
may be helpful to the Council in making that decision.
The Attorney General's Opinion to the Minneapolis Public Library Board is the one
most frequently cited and correlates most closely to the above facts. You will
note in that opinion that the luncheon was associated with a business meeting.
Unless there was a business element associated with the party, it is questionable
whether public funds should be used for the purpose of a Christmas party.
A different approach might be to construe the cost of the Christmas party as a
form of compensation to public employees. This, however, leaves open the question
of whether friends or spouses of the public, employees should be included.
The bottom line regarding

Dear Council Members:
'I ,
We are currently planning our fall and winter work program and would appreciate
an indication that we may be invited to conduct the 1977 audit of the City as
we have in the past year.
We would perform an audit of the balance sheets of the various funds of the
City as of December 31, 1977 and the related financial statements for the year
then ended. The audit would be performed in accordance with the procedures
established by the State Auditor and the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. These procedures are compatible with the pronouncements of the
National Council on Governmental Accounting.
The audit which we will perform will be examination which consists of a
review of internal control, accounting procedures, and the details of all records,
including subsidiary records and supporting data as to mathematical accuracy,
propriety and completeness of all transactions on a test basis. The test
examination presumes that the items selected are representative of all the
transactions.
Although such an audit is the one most frequently used today, it will not
necessarily discover fraud or defalcation. However, should fraud or defalcation
exist, it may be uncovered as the result of one or more of the procedures
applied on a test basis.
As in the previous year, we plan to do as much work before the year end as
possible so that we may present our report at an early date.
We estimate the cost of such an audit will not exceed a range of $9,400 to $9,800.
We have enjoyed our relationship with the City during the past year and hope
that we may be allowed to conduct the 1977 audit.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: CITY OF EDINA EMPLOYEE'S CHRISTMAS PARTY
The 1977 City of Edina Employee's Christmas Party is scheduled for Friday,
December 9th, and will again be held at the Richfield VFW.
As in the past, we are trying to keep the costs down to a bear minimum. Of
course, our largest expenditures are the dinner itself and the band. The
Committee donates many hours of work, with their only compensation being a
small corsage to wear at the party. All of the prizes that.are given are
donated, with the exception-of the two free dinners. Unfortunately, with
the increase of prices, we have had to raise the ticket cost to $8.00 this
year.(Please see the chart below.)
It is my understanding that the City Council has been discussing the possibility
of contributing to this employee function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For each $100 donated, we would be able to reduce the ticket cost by 50C.
Any expediency in making a decision on this matter would be appreciated, as
the party is only seven weeks from this Friday. Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
October 17, 1977
TO: City Council, City Manager, H.R.A.
FROM: . Gary Winter, Redevelopment Planner
SUBJECT: Joint Task Force Minnesota League of Cities - Minnesota
Chapter of the National Organization of Housing and
Redevelopment Officials, Meeting of October 6, 1977
The most recent meeting of the joint LMC -NAHRO Task Force
essentially involved a discussion of the Task Force's approach for dealing with
the Minnesota Senate regarding the future of tax increment financing. The
general areas dealt with during the course of the meeting included abuses of
the use of the tax increment financing mechanism, issues to be pursued in
meetings with the Senate and Senate Staff, and a discussion of the concerns
of local officials as they relate to anew bill regulating the use of tax
increment financing.
Four major abuses found to be especially irritating by the
legislature were outlined by LMC -NAHRO Liaison and Research Coordinator,
Richard Graves. These abuses can be stated as follows:
1) capturing tax increments and using the money to
supplement the general fund of a municipality.
2) creating a tax increment district but not.actively
pursuing redevelopment and "bankrolling" the tax
increments in a redevelopment fund.
3) use of the tax increment process as a means of aiding
a business and providing it with an unfair edge in an
already competitive business community.
4) increasing the level of tax increments generated by
amending the project boundaries to gerrymander to
new development-outside the district.
None of these abuses can be applied to redevelopment undertaken in
the City of Edina, nor do they apply to the proposed Southeast Redevelopment
Plan. The only question raised applicable to the City of Edina involves the
initiation.of redevelopment activities in a City where the assessed valuation
of the project area was increasing prior to project commencement. This question
was raised in relation to the 50th and France Redevelopment Project and'is no
cause for alarm since it was based on a very reactionary and simplistic analysis
of the current tax increment statutes conducted by a Senate Staff member.
MEMORANDUM
Page Two
October 17, 1977
The next portion of the meeting involved a discussion of some of
the immediate issues that are certain to be raised by the Senate. Some of the
possible controls mentioned included a limitation on the amount of market value
increase allowable in a project area prior to redevelopment, a limitation on the
term of any bond issue and a differentiation as to what constitutes redevelopment
and reinvestment and what constitutes economic development and how tax increment
financing can be applied to each of these activities.
The final portion of the meeting allowed local officials to express
their concerns regarding the new legislation likely to emanate from the Senate.
Some of the common concerns included the need for a strong "grandfather clause"
for existing projects, the need to allow redevelopment activities to occur in
areas where early detection and blight prevention activities are necessary and
the need to use redevelopment and tax increment financing as a means of limiting
urban sprawl in line with the Metropolitan Council's Report of the Fully
Developed Areas Task Force.
Mr. Hyde and I voiced the City's concern regarding the retention
of the utmost flexibility in using tax increment financing in projects involving
the construction of low- moderate income housing. Likewise, we emphasized the
need to allow tax increment financing to remain .a viable tool for financing
blight prevention in commercial areas and residential areas.
Finally, a recommended schedule of fees was submitted to each
Task Force member in attendance. The fee schedule shows a recommended
contribution by the City of Edina of between 3,930.20 and 4,427.56 depending
upon the formula used to determine the sum. This contribution would be used to
defray the cost of this study of Alternative Means of Financing Urban Redevelopment.
Mr. Hyde added that nothing would be forthcoming from the City of Edina until
the LMC -NAHRO Task Force submitted a budget clearly outlining the purposes for
which the recommended contribution would be utilized.
