A belated "thank you" for your recent phone call bringing
me up to date on the fate of the old Edina mill site at Williams Park. The
decision to restore the park to its pre digging appearance was a sound one and
merits my thanks as well as that of many neighbors who have shared my concern
regarding the recent activity there.
I have lived at my present address for almost 25 years,
am proud of my community, am available to serve you and the Council of Edina
any way you can use me, and at the same time i do not hesitate to express my
feelings toward projects in the community and the various services we expect.
'lease convey my appreciation to the Council or anyone
else involved in the final decision re the old mill and Williams Park.

Subject: HECO and 911
Attached are two memos regarding HECO. These memorandums as stated
are background information regarding emergency communications and 911.
Mr. Hyde in the past has kept you posted on this project. They are now
requesting money for the studies needed which for a city of our.size
is $4,400.
Bob Buresh and I have met several times and believe.strongly that we
must be involved. If we do not enter into this total study now, there
is a threat of communities breaking into smaller groups and the whole
project becomming even more expensive. I have also asked Bob Buresh
to be totally involved in the study. Although the memo indicates there
is much to gain, we here in Edina could very easily lose.
I am sorry I can not -beat your meeting to make.this,request, but I do
feel strongly we should cooperate and be actively in the middle of the
study.
KER:md
HENNEPIN EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS ORGANIZATION
TO: All HECO Members
FROM: Staff
DATE: November 2, 1977
SUBJECT: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The following material was developed at the request of the Executive Committee
for your use when presenting the request for dues to your governing board.
Police communications, or more precisely the effective use of radio technology,
has been a subject of discussion and controversy ever since the two -way radio
was first used by police. As the technology and equipment have become more .
sophisticated, generally, the police became more adept at making full use of
these resources. However, in recent years technological advances have not been
fully used due to extremely high costs and, perhaps more importantly in our own
jurisdiction, the limited number of radio frequencies has severely hampered the
implementation of changes which could insure a more effective use of radio tech-
nology. At the present time there are a number of agencies in Hennepin County
that are sharing police radio frequencies which are so congested by normal use
that the full benefits of two -way radio systems are not possible. In simple
terms, no additional frequencies are available and alternative solutions must
be found. -- -- - -
The most straightforward solution is the redistribution and sharing of the avail-
able radio frequencies. This sharing can take the form of two or more adjacent
communities sharing a single radio frequency with each maintaining its own dis-
patching center; or there can be "clustering" in which two or more communities
share a radio frequency and use one dispatching center with the costs of dis-
patching being shared among the participants; or there can be full consolida-
tion where all public safety dispatching takes place-in one center and all com-
munities pay a fair share of the operating costs.
Even though the solution seems simple, there was no mechanism whereby the vari-
ous communities in the county could cooperatively institute change without
peripheral issues such as parochial interests, competition among agencies and
suspicion as to motives getting in the way. The result was a lot of talk and
speculation, but no action.
In response to these problems, the Hennepin County Criminal Justice Council
Communications Steering Committee initiated a series of planning activities
which resulted in a recommendation to create an organization wherein all members
participated as co- equals with adequate safeguards to assure user control.
The organization that evolved was the Hennepin Emergency Communications Organi-
zation (HECO), a joint power organization with 23 member units of government
which range in size from the city of Medicine Lake to the city of Minneapolis.
November 2, 1977
Page Two
A review of the joint power agreement highlights why HECO was created. It
was created to plan for the "reallocation and the greater sharing of the
frequency channels available... "; to explore the feasibility "to have the
several existing dispatch facilities consolidated into a:lesser number, with
one centralized facility possibly providing enhanced public safety services
and the best opportunity for application of current and future technological
developments "; to develop "a plan and operating.procedures for an integrated
and coordinated public safety communications system which includes county-
wide 911 telephone service...."
In addition, the agreement provides a means to operate such a center or centers .
should that be the decision of the HECO Board and to assess the operating
costs to.the participating members based upon an established formula.
HECO as an organizational entity exists and appears theoretically able to
make significant improvements in public safety communications but, like a
rocket without fuel, it is a very static achievement. Just as the rocket
needs fuel to do the job for which it was intended, HECO needs "fuel" to ac-
complish results. The "fuel" needed for HECO is a mixture of participation,
cooperation and resources.
Each member of HECO has been asked to consider a request for dues to under-
write the cost of conducting a study which will, among other things, determine
the future=-of HECO: To-begin-to make system improvements, HECO needs a great
deal of information and advice which will serve as the basis for decisions by
individual members and as the basis for recommending detailed operational im-
provements. The study is crucial if system improvements are to be made.
The issues facing HECO can be summarized as follows:
1. Some radio frequencies are currently overloaded to the extent that
the quality of service is marginal. The County system is now at
this point.
2. Some radio frequencies in the county are underused.
3. When frequencies are licensed by an agency they are literally "owned"
by that agency.
Therefore, it is logical to conclude that a reallocation or sharing of frequen-
cies is necessary and that any sharing or reallocation will require the willing
cooperation of those members who currently control radio frequencies.
4. Capital costs of dispatching equipment continue to increase and most
of the present radio dispatching centers will require significant
investments for new equipment within three to six years. By reduc-
ing the number of dispatching centers through clustering or consoli -.
dation, it is possible to minimize the impact of capital spending
for dispatching equipment.
November 2, 1977
Page Three
5. By reducing the number of dispatching centers and by instituting
a procedure wherein each community pays its fair share of the dis-
patching costs, it is likely that the cost to each agency will be
more equitable and, in some cases, the cost per agency will actually
be less than its current expenditures for public safety communica-
tions.
The following will be included in the study.
1. Community profiles will be developed which will reflect the current
and projected public safety communications needs of each community.
2. An inventory and description of the current use of all radio fre-
quencies available for public safety purposes.
3. Professional engineering services will be provided to: evaluate
existing radio and dispatching equipment, recommend reallocation
of frequencies, recommend system improvements, recommend cluster
or consolidation arrangements (technical aspects), assist in dispatch
center site selections and design of facilities, develop specifica-
tions for modifying existing equipment for use in consolidated or
cluster center, revise county 911 plan to conform with system changes,
evaluate equipment needs, and assist in developing detailed imple-
mentati on.' pl ans-. `
Several alternative methods of system improvement will be described as options
for consideration by the HECO members with each alternative including a des-
cription of its general operational features.
At the last HECO Board meeting a question was raised as to the status of the
potential for LEAA funding for this purpose. The Executive Committee has directed
staff to continue the preparation of such a grant request; however, you should
be aware that at the time the HECO Executive Committee approved the work pro-
gram, there was a strong likelihood that LEAA funding would be available for
at least the first year of operation of HECO. Within the last few.weeks, that
situation has changed to the extent that it, is now virtually certain that LEAA
funds will not be available for a grant to operate HECO. Therefore, if HECO
is to produce any results, the members must demonstrate their commitment to
improving public safety communications by underwriting the start -up costs and
this project directly by dues or other contributions.

Dear Mr. Rosland:

October 28, 1977
The Board of Directors of the Hennepin Emergency Communications
Organization (HECO) met on Thursday, October 20th. The main purpose of
HECO is twofold: First, we must prepare for the'advent. and implementation
of 911 telephone service. We can report to you that a work program has been
adopted, and we are proceeding on schedule and satisfactorily in this
regard. The second main purpose is to work toward a plan to better utilize
the scarce and precious radio frequencies available'to the several public
safety organizations in Hennepin County. The HECO Agreement contemplates,
at least, some consolidation or combination of police and fire dispatch
facilities. A :target date oL July 1, 1978, is established by the HECO Joint
Powers Agreement for a decision on this aspect. To date, we have made
little progress towards a resolution.
It is imperative, we believe, that HECO now commence an engineering
study from which, among other things, we can best combine or consolidate
some or all of the several dispatch operations and make better use of the
existing frequencies. The HECO Executive Committee is in the process of
preparing a Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAH) grant request
for the funds necessary to finance an engineering study that will recommend
alternative methods of achieving the objectives of HECO. The estimated cost
is $60,000. There is some doubt whether.HECO will be able to get the grant
funds, not because of any questions regarding the importance and desirability
of this project, but rather because of prior commitments of the funds. It
seems that the best that HECO can hope for is the use of reversionary funds,
that is, funds that have already been allocated for some.project but have
not been spent. We do not expect to receive a definitive answer to the
grant request until July 1978.,
In the meantime, we believe that it is in the best interests
of the entire County that we proceed with the engineering study so that
we can have the information available before next July, (1978). and be
able to make the necessary decisions. If this is done, it is possible
that immediate substantial savings in the 911 installation, and recurring
cost of dispatching can be accomplished.

The Board of Directors has directed the Executive Committee to
seek financial commitments from each of the members. Some money will be
needed and soon. If the grant request is unsuccessful, all will be needed.
If we get the grant, the direct cost to the members will be less. The
Executive Committee has evolved a formula for payment of the amount necessary
which we are calling "1978 dues ". This is not to be construed as an ongoing
amount. The formula is as follows:
POPULATION
NO. OF MEMBERS
1978 DUES

$5300
$15,900

$ 5,100
Under 10,000

$ 800
$ 4,000
$60,000
The Board of Directors will meet again on November 23, 1977. We
need to have your commitment, as well as all others, by that date. We trust
that this will allow adequate time for City Council consideration and action.
If any of us can be of help with additional information, please advise. Or,
you can get assistance from John O'Sullivan, Director of Hennepin County
Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, telephone 348 -6497, or from Jim
Brekken, who is on loan to HECO from the Bloomington Police Department. He
can be coftacted through Mr. -O'Sullivan's Office or at Bloomington, 884 -3591.
If we do not receive the necessary commitments on November 23rd, some
members, because of immediate and pressing needs, will go ahead on their own
with what we consider a piecemeal engineering study. We do not believe a
limited study will be in the best interests of all, but we understand it
may be necessary considering the special needs of these member communities.

TO: Mr. Ken Rosland, City Manager; Mayor Van Va/lkenburg; Members of Council
FROM: Arlin Waelti, Administrative Assistant
RE: The County -City Community Health Services Subsidy Agreement
I met today with Mr. Mac Whatley of the County Office of Purchasing and
Services regarding the 1978 Community Health Services Subsidy Agreement.
It is substantially the same as the 1977 Agreement except the time allowance
for submitting financial reports was changed. I have checked this section
out with Mr. Dalen. The time constraints are reasonable and will cause
no problem to the finance department.
As you may remember, Edina and Bloomington requested substantial changes in
the 1977 agreement that were made in the agreement'before it was signed.
The 1978 agreement continues to reflect those requested changes.
The agreement and two attachments run nine pages. For this reason and
the fact that the agreement is the same as last year's, I have not
reproduced the document for the November 21 Council packet. If there
are any questions that you may have regarding the agreement prior to
passage, both Dave Veldi and I have copies.
I would recommend that the agreement be passed in its present form.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
November 2, 1977
S -77 -23 Taft Addition. Generally located west of Blake Road and Scriver
Road extended.
Refer to: Attached preliminary plat and parkland dedication report.
The subject property is a 4.5 acre tract of land located west of Scriver Road
and south of Blake Road. An existing house is located on the northerly
portion of the property and gains access by way of Blake Road.
The proposed preliminary plat indicates a five lot single family subdivision.
A 1k acre lot would be retained for the existing structure on the northerly
portion of the site. Four new lots would be created which would range in
size from 19,000 square feet to 52,000 square feet. Access to these lots would
be provided by the westerly extension of Scriver Road. The proposed plat also
indicates the provision of.an open space and drainage easement around the small
pond on the southerly portion of the property. The Planning Commission may
recall several preliminary plans which were prepared by the Planning Department
in 1973 for the Blake - Schaefer Road area of the City. Although these plans
were not officially adopted, staff has referred to them in its review of this
proposed subdivision. The Blake - Schaefer plans proposed the westerly extension
of Scriver Road to serve the subject property as well as properties further
west. The alignment of Scriver Road as shown on the proposed plat is generally
in conformance with the Blake- Schaefer plans. It should be noted that the
further westerly extension of Scriver Road to serve additional properties should
be anticipated.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision in that:
1) the single family residential development proposed is compatible
with surrounding developments.
2) proposed lot sizes are generally similar to lot sizes on Scriver Rd.
3) the subdivision and road alignment are in conformance with the
unofficial Blake- Schaefer plans.
4) provision of an open space and drainage easement should protect
the natural character of the pond on the site.
Approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications:
1) submission of an executed drainage and open space easement.

SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment to-Allow Special Use Permits
in the Planned Industrial District
On September 12, 1977, the.City Council.directed.staff and the Planning
Commission to investigate the advisability of establishing a special
use permit system or other means to allow certain uses not presently
in Planned Industrial Districts. This request was prompted by a
petition by the Rauenhorst Corporation to rezone a parcel of property
at 76th Street and France Avenue from PID to C -1 for restaurant
purposes.
Attached is a memorandum which analyzes the special -use permit system.
This memorandum together with a memorandum submitted by Peter Jarvis
of BRW.were reviewed by the Planning Commission on November 2, 1977.
The Planning Commission recommended that the zoning ordinance not, be
amended to provide for special use permits in the PID_zone based upon
reasons stated in the staff recommendation. The Planning Commission
also recommended that the zoning ordinance not be amended to provide
additional principal uses.in the PID zone.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
November 2, 1977
Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow Special Use Permits in the Planned
Industrial District.
At the City Council Meeting on September 12, 1977, the Rauenhorst
Corporation's Preliminary Plat and zoning change from Planned Industrial
District to C -1 for restaurant purposes was considered and continued to
November 21, 1977. At this September 12th meeting, the City Council
directed the Planning Commission to study the potential use and requirements
associated with conditional or special use permits for principle uses not
currently permitted in the Planned Industrial District. This action was
based upon the Council's reluctance to grant the requested C -1 zoning.
This memorandum, attempts to explore the possible expansion of uses that
could be permitted within a zoning district through conditional or special
use permit provisions in the Edina Zoning Ordinance.
The conditional or special use permit is a device utilized to add
flexibility to the zoning ordinance by allowing principle uses not permitted
under the current ordinance, but that might be compatible with the permitted
uses. The granting of special use permits is governed by two factors:
1) only thorn uses identified in the zoning ordinance as
susceptible to special permit treatment maybe considered; and
2) the ordinance diould'include criteria which are intended to be
used by administrators in deciding whether to grant the
permit or license.
Having considered the conditional or special use permit and how it
might be carefully utilized as a means of adding flexibility to the zoning
ordinance, the staff addressed the use of conditional or special use
permit provisions in the zoning ordinances of other metropolitan municipalities.
Staff surveyed ten nearby communities to determine if conditional or special
use permits were a part of the zoning ordinance and the municipaliCy's
experiences with the special use provision to date. The municipalities
surveyed are listed below:
Bloomington
Brooklyn Park
Crystal
Eden Prairie
Golden Valley
Minnetonka
Plymouth
Richfield
Robbinsdale
St. Louis Park
Special Use Permit Amendment
Page 2
November 2, 1977
The staff investigation of special use permit provisions revealed
that eight of the ten municipalities surveyed did have special or conditional
use provisions as part of the zoning ordinance. The City Council of a ninth
community, Golden Valley, will consider a proposal.to amend the zoning ordinance
in 1978 to include conditional uses in all zoning districts. Of the ten
communities surveyed, only Eden Prairie did not and was not. considering
amending the zoning ordinance to include a conditional use provision.
The communities currently utilizing or considering the implementation
of special use provisions within the zoning ordinance, utilize this tool in
all zoning districts. The Edina City Council instructed the Planning
Commission and staff to consider conditional uses in only the Planned
Industrial District of the Edina Zoning Ordinance. The fact that only one
zoning district would be considered for amendment to permit conditional uses
is significant since of the communities surveyed, four believe the conditional
use provision has resulted in at least ten extra hours of staff time per
week for the Planning or Inspection Departments. (See Appendix One).
The other communities currently having conditional use provisions
generally agreed that the conditional use provisions could be handled as
part of the staff's regular duties much like rezoning and variance requests
are handled. However, of the four communities that considered conditional
uses to be a portion of regular staff duties, two only handled the initial
processing of the application for conditional uses and left the policing
of the conditional uses to the Building or Inspection Department. Each
community has a fee schedule to cover administrative costs involved in
processing and policing conditional uses. A fee schedule for conditional
uses has also been enclosed. (Refer to Appendix One)
Besides administrative and staff costs involved in the processing
and policing of conditional or special use permits, some communities have
also been involved in litigation as a result of special permits. Of the
municipalities surveyed, most law suits involved an appeal of the denial of
a conditional use permit application by the respective City Council.
Only the City of St. Louis Park has initiated legal proceedings against
the receipients of special use permits regarding the enforcement of the
provisions of the permit. The appeals of permit denials were decided in
favor of the proponent in all the municipalities involved in such litigation.
The City of Richfield was involved in two cases having denied conditional
use permits for a restaurant and service station in Neighborhood Commercial
Districts on the basis of excess trip generation. In both cases, the Court
ruled in the proponent's favor labeling the traffic congestion argument as
an arbitrary and-capricious.basis for denial. This point is significant
in light of the trip generation concerns of the City in the South Edina -
Interstate 494 area which encompasses the City's major Planned Industrial
District (PID).
A final point considered in the staff survey relates to the require-
ments and conditions associated with enacting a conditional or special
use provision in the zoning ordinance. Most municipalities list the
conditional uses that will be considered in each zoning classification or
Special Use Permit Amendment
Page 3
November 2, 1977
district and include conditions that must be satisfied and adhered to before
a conditional use permit will be issued. Conditions are additional restrictions
applied to a particular use and might govern aspects of a conditional use
such as hours of operation, ingress or egress, and the location of a use
as it relates to other zoning districts or within the specified district.
The most common conditional uses to which additional conditions are attached
are restaurants and service stations.
Recommendation: The conditional use provision can add a great deal of
flexibility to a zoning ordinance by allowing a limited number of
possibly compatible, non - permitted, land uses within a specific zoning
classification. The device has been lauded as a zoning mechanism that can
serve the public interest through a careful review of the facts and
circumstances of each case presented. However, the device has also been
objected to on the basis that it promotes arbitrary judgments without basis
in the City's comprehensive plan that discriminate against some property
ownership allowing more permissive uses within the area. The conditional
use technique can be a valuable zoning concept if great care is taken to
protect the various parties affected by the conditional use. system and very
specific standards and criteria arc adopted for the administration of the
ordinance.
Other methods are also available to permit uses not presently allowed
by the zoning ordinance in PID zones. First, additional principle uses can
be allowed in the PID zone. Second, accessory uses contained within
presently allowed PID uses can be specified. On past occasions staff
has recommended adoption of the latter option.
Finally, it should be noted that the Council did not request the
Planning Commission to prepare a special or conditional use permit amendment
at this time. Rather, the Council requested that the Commission review
the advisability of establishing such a permit system.

Mayor James VanValkenberg and
the Edina City Council
Edina City Hall
Edina, Minnesota 55424
Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council:
At the Council meeting on Monday, August 15th, 1977, we discussed the
validity and desirability of a restaurant use in a planned industrial
park or a conventionally zoned industrial district. As a result of
that discussion we were given the opportunity to submit in writing
our views on the subject.
The Urban Land Institute (ULI) in its book the Industrial Development
Handbook notes the following:
"In the early years of exclusive industrial zoning and
industrial park planning, not only were the needed service
commercial uses conspicious by their absence but frequently
they were excluded by legislative mandate. Currently a
trend toward integration of service commercial uses for the
employees is emerging. Fast -food services, banks, service
stations, auto repair facilities, barber and beauty shops,
dry cleaners, commercial recreation facilities, medical and
dental offices, and health clubs are obvious uses for
inclusion in an industrial setting."
Today it is not uncommon for well planned industrial parks to provide
for an integration of land use that produces a mutual benefit.
The first non - industrial uses to be provided within the planned
industrial park were most likely public and semi - public uses, such as
fire and police stations. This represented a logical extension of
public services required by industry and typically provided by the
municipality. More recently communities have been concerned that
industrial development be a positive factor from the fiscal, environ-
mental and social viewpoint and, therefore, have begun to integrate

less obvious uses. It is not uncommon for industrial parks to provide
recreational use, commercial use and in some instances, residential
use in an attempt to provide a unique setting for marketing purposes
and a socially oriented amenity package for the employees.
The reason for the increase in land use integration in the planned
industrial park stems from a number of sources in both the public and
private sectors. A perceived need by the developer (either public or
private) for additional amenities to attract potential firms is one
obvious reason to offer a hotel site with restaurant facilities and
landscaped grounds. A socially concerned municipal government may
insist on recreational facilities and /or a day care center for the
employees; a natural market demand can be created for goods and
services simply because of the number of people working in a planned
industrial park if it is of sufficient size.
Whatever the reason for the demand to integrate land uses within an
industrial park, there are some quantifiable benefits that can accrue
to the municipality. For a number of years planners and economists
have been aware of a phenomenon known as "economic leakage ". On a
regional scale this "leakage" is the inability of the region to
capture or hold all of the economic activity that is necessary for it
to function. This inability causes capital to be spent outside of
the region thereby reducing the number of times it turns over locally
and thereby causing a reduction in total economic productivity. On a
City scale this "leakage" maybe the inability of the City to take
advantage of the economic potential located within it's, taxing
jurisdiction.
The planned industrial park is a generator of secondary economic
potential. That is,because of it's ability to draw large, numbers of
employees to a given location, it thereby causes a demand to exist
for goods and services related to the needs of the worker. Should
the municipality in which the park is located be unable or unwilling
to provide mechanisms for private enterprise to meet the needs, those
needs will be met elsewhere. If the "elsewhere" be outside of the
municipality's taxing jurisdiction the leakage will be taxes, and
tertiary economic potential, and the cause of excessive travel by the
employees located within the park.
The inability to capture economic potential can also cause quantifi-
able negative impacts. For example, if 2000 additional automobile
trips (5 miles) are needed per day to meet employee needs, such as
lunch or other services, approximately 683 pounds of vehicle emissions
per weekday will be needlessly emitted. This along with the addition-
al congestion obviously has a negative impact on the community.
Mayor James VanValkenberg and the Edina City Council
September 2, 1977

If a municipality tries to capture the economic potential in a non -
planned manner the result may be worse than the leakage and negative
impacts of not capturing the potential at all. Sound planning based
on economic, environmental and social factors must be employed if
effective land use integration is to be achieved.
According to the Urban Land Institute many examples of well
integrated land use within an industrial park exist. The Nonconnah
Park in Memphis recognized the need for a hotel from the outset. The
hotel provided rooms, meeting facilities, restaurants, and limited
shopping facilities for both employees and visitors to the park.
At the Irvine Industrial Complex East, six commercial sites have been
planned within the 2068 acre industrial area. Each site is 30 acres
or less in size and has been designed to meet the limited shopping
and restaurant needs of adjacent industrial uses. This has proven so
successful that the original Irvine Park parcels by- passed during the
initial phases of development are now being used for restaurants and
other limited commercial activities.
Throughout the country the expansion of office buildings and office
uses in industrial parks is proceeding rapidly. Many industrial parks
are becoming hydrid employment centers with up to half or more of the
total site occupied by offices. This trend suggests an increasing
demand for supportive commercial activity. In 1974 the Association
of American Geographers in it's publication Major Job- Providing
Organization and Systems of Cities confirmed this. Drawing on work
done by Armstrong in 1972'and Tornquist in 1973; it reported that the
United States "is becoming white collar at a faster rate than
commonly believed" and that in "view of occupational shifts
transpiring in advanced economies it may be seriously questioned
whether the traditional approach to industrial location theory and
development (type -- single purpose) need not be replaced.
Within the Minneapolis -St. Paul region there are a number of examples
of contemporary approaches to the industrial development. The
Minneapolis Housing and Redevelopment Authority as long ago as 1967
began to provide integrated land uses in it's redevelopment of
industrial areas. The Seward Industrial area in southeast Minneapolis
has incorporated commercial uses (includi.ng restaurants) into a
planned industrial park. The recently approved North Washington
Industrial Park (NWIP) has taken advantage of a distinc.tive physical
setting to provide for recreational land uses along the (Mississippi
River and commercial uses within identified commercial service nodes;
a restaurant, The Broadway Station, was the first service use within
the Industrial Parka
Mayor James VanValkenberg and the Edina City Council
September 2, 1977

In Brooklyn Center the developers of the Earle Brown Farm Industrial
Park have taken advantage of the "white collar" trend to incorporate
a public restaurant into a highrise office building. Additionally,
they have planned for a 250,000 square foot convenient shopping
facility located in the center of the park.
The inclusion of restaurant and some commercial service uses in a
planned industrial park provides more than a "nice touch ". If
properly planned they can enhance the community's quality of life by
providing:
• Services to employees and visitors.
• An increased economic capture rate for the municipality
in which they are located.
• Additional taxes.
• A reduction in automobile emissions and congestion by
providing convenience, reducing travel.
• Utilization of odd lots or small parcels of land that
are not marketable to the industrial user.
• A unique opportunity for adaptive reuse of old industrial
buildings.
With the trend toward a closer relationship between - commercial and
industrial uses, the commercial facility has an important place in
the modern industrial park. With good planning the integration of
land uses will prove beneficial to the community that has a high
quality of life as a goal.
The following table is the result of a sample of local communities
that we undertook that allows free - standing restaurants to be located
within either a planned industrial park or a conventionally zoned
industrial district.
Our methodology for this survey was to phone the zoning administrator
or planner for a sample number of municipalities to determine
whether or not each city allowed a restaurant as a principal use or
with a special use permit. Of eighteen municipalities contacted,
only four excluded restaurants within zoned industrial areas.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
November 2, 1977
Z -77 -17 Ryan Construction Co. Generally located E. of York Ave., W. of
Xerxes Ave., N. of W. 76th Street and S. of W. 74th St. extended.
R -1 Single Family District to Planned Residential District PRD -3.
Refer to: Attached preliminary zoning plans
On September 28, 1977, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Southeast
Edina Redevelopment Plan which was subsequently approved by the City Council on
October 17, 1977. The Planning Commission will recall that a 9.5 acre site
lying east of York Avenue and north of 76th Street and .within the redevelopment
plan area was proposed for the construction of 80 low and moderate income
family townhouses. This project, which is proposed by Ryan Construction
Company, was discussed briefly on September 28, 1977.
Presently, Ryan Construction Company is requesting preliminary rezoning
approval from R• -1 to PRD -3, Planned Residential District. If approved by the
Planning Commission and Council, the proponents will then return with final
development plans for your review.
The proposed development plans call for 80 units which include 8 one bedroom
units, 48 two bedroom units, 20 three bedroom units, and 4 four bedroom units.
Structures and parking areas comprise 33.3% of the site with the remainder
devoted to open space areas, which include pedestrian walkways, tot lots,
and landscape areas. Access to the southern portion of the development is
provided from 76th Street and access to the northern portion from York Avenue.
100 enclosed garage spaces and 80 surface parking spaces are provided.
The subject property has been graded and altered. significantly during past years.
Thus, few trees and green areas are present. The property is characterized by
fairly level topography, however, a rather steep embarkment is present along
York Terrace in the northwestern partion of the subject property.
Recommendation: Although the proposed development will be constructed for
housing for low and moderate income families, it must be emphasized that this
is not "low cost" housing, i.e., housing which is constructed to lesser design
and construction standards and with fewer amenities. Rather, the proposed
housing is designed and constructed in the same manner as a market rate housing
with similar amenities and should be reviewed by the Planning Commission in the
same manner as a market rate housing development.
' Staff recommends preliminary zoning approval in that:
1. the proposal conforms with the South Edina Plan.
2. the proposal conforms with the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan.
3. the low density development as proposed is desirable to
further reduce traffic impacts, to provide a less congested living
environment for low and moderate income families, and to provide a
suitable transition from low density developments to the east.

Recommendation:
4. building locations as proposed prevent an undesirable "row
house" appearance and provide areas for adequate screening with land-
scaping.
5. the proposal provides a unit mixture which provides housing
opportunities to a diversity of family sizes.
Approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications in
conjunction with final plan approval:
1. dedication of an easement abutting York Terrace for roadway
purposes.
2. deletion of the northerly driveway on York Avenue.
3. completion of preliminary and final platting of the subject
property.
4. provision of an adequate landscape plan
Lastly, City Ordinances require that individual sewer and water connections must
be provided for townhouse developments. According to HUD and the Minnesota
Housing Finance Agency agreements which the proponent must enter into, the
proposed development must be used as rental property to low and moderate income
families for at least 30 years. Staff believes that no useful purpose would
be served by requiring individual sewer and water services at this time.
Therefore, staff recommends that the provisions requiring individual sewer and water
connections be waived with the condition that such individual services must be
installed in the event that any of the units of the proposed development are
offered for individual ownership.

PLANNING COM'IMISSION
STAFF R17PORT
November 2, 1977
S -77 -25 and Braemar Bills 9th Addition. Generally located east of
Z -77 -18 Gleaseon Road extended and north of W. 78th Street.
PRD -2 to R -1 and R -2 District.
Refer to: June 27, 1973 and August 1, 1973 Planning
Commission Minutes, Hills of Braemar Town-
house graphic, preliminary plat.
Four years ago, the subject property was rezoned to PRD -2, Planned Residential
District to allow the construction of 132 units in the form of 33 quadraminium
buildings. The location of such buildings and appurtenant access roadways
are shown on the attached graphic. To date, 4 quadraminiums and a
recreation building have been constructed in conformance with the approved
development plan for this property. In addition, the property surrounding
these completed units has been platted as Braemar Hills 8th Addition.
The proponents are presently requesting a rezoning from PRD -2 to R -1 and
R -2. A 45 lot subdivision is also requested. As proposed, the 29 lots
located in Blocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 would be zoned R -1 and the 16 lots located
in Blocks 5 and 6 would be zoned R -2. Outlot A which measures 3.56 acres
would be dedicated to the City according to the proposed subdivision.
As compared to the previously approved PRD -2 plan, the present subdivision
proposes to use essentially the same building sites for R -1 and R -2
dwellings which would have been used for quadraminiums. Stonewood Court
which is located northerly of Gleason Road is located on nearly the same
alignment as proposed by the previous plan. The-alignment of Tanglewood
Court has been altered significantly to provide additional sight distance
for traffic approaching its intersection with Gleason Road. Excluding
existing and planned quadraminiums in Braemar Hills 8th Addition, the
present plan proposes a reduction in the total number of dwelling units
from 112 to 61 as compared to the previously approved PRD -2 plan.
The Planning Commission may recall that the protection of the heavily wooded
steep slopes on the property was of such concern when reviewing the previous
PRD plan. The present subdivision proposes to limit considerably construction
on such slopes and proposes to dedicate most of these areas to the City.
Staff is somewhat concerned with the relationship of the subject property
with the vacant lands located easterly. The Planning Commission will
recall that a development plan entitled Indian Meadows was approved for
this property several years ago. However, this property has been sold
recently and the present owner has indicated his intent not to proceed
with the Indian Meadows concept. Of primary concern to staff is the
advisability of extending Stonewood Court on the subject property into the
property to the east to provide a secondary means of access. Therefore,
staff believes that adequate right -of -way should be reserved to facilitate
the extension of Stonewood Court if warranted by the development of the
property to the east.
Braemar Hills 9th Addition
Page -2-
November 2, 1977
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested subdivision
and rezoning in that:
1) the proposal conforms with the Southwest Edina Plan.
2) the heavily wooded steep slopes on the site are adequately
protected.
3) the realignment of Tanglewood Court is desirable.
4) adequate setbacks from existing and planned
quadraminiums are maintained.
Approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications:
1) lots 8, 9 and 10, Block 4 must be identified as an
outlot to facilitate the easterly extension of
Stonewood Court if warranted.
2) a storm water storage easement must be dedicated on
portions of Lots 1, 2,4, 5, and 6, Block 4.
3) an executed deed to the City of Edina for Outlot A.
4) an executed developer's agreement.
5) relocation, removals and re- sealing of existing storm
sewers, water services, and sewer services per the
attached preliminary engineering report.
6) dedication of a 15 foot wide strip of land on the north
edge of Lot 14, Block 4.
7) submission of a suitable landscape plan for Braemar
Hills 8th Addition
8) all activities relating to the landscaping and snow
removal business located on Blocks 5 and 6 must be
terminated and all equipment, materials and supplies
removed prior to final plat approval for any portion of
the subject property.
9) within 180 days following final plat approval for Blocks
5 and 6, all dwellings and structures located on Blocks
5 and 6 must be satisfactorily removed. A performance
bond in the amount of $5,000 will be required at the
time of final plat approval to assure removal of such
structures.
10) submission of an erosion control plan.

STAFF REPORT
November 2, 1977
Z -77 -19 Dwight Williams Park. Edina Mill Site.
The Edina Heritage Preservation Board has recommended that the
Dwight Williams Park, the location of the Edina Mills Grist Mill foundation,
be rezoned to Heritage Preservation District.
The history and significance of the site is outlined in the
attached report that was prepared for the Nomination of the site to the
National Register of Historic Places. The State Review Board has approved
the nomination and forwarded it to Washington.
The mill foundation was located this summer by an archaeolog' cal
excavation of the site financed with community development funds. The
Heritage Preservation Board anticipates a continuation of the project next
summer. The concept intended for the next phase includes the delineation
of the foundation on the surface of the ground and the erection of an
interpretive kiosk that will display photographs, text, and perhaps mill
artifacts.

PLANNING COMISSION
STAFF REPORT
November 2, 1977
Senior Citizen Residence District. Ordinance Amendment.
Refer to: Attached Amendment
Some time ago, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a
rezoning from R -1 to SR -4 Senior Residence District for a parcel of property
on France Avenue and 51st Street (i.e., the Rainbow project). After considering
the request on October 17, 1977, the City Council requested that the Senior
Citizen Residence ordinance be amended so that future rezoning requests to
this zoning district would be considered in the same manner as a planned
residential district rezoning, i.e. site and building design plans would
have to be submitted at the time of rezoning. The attached amendment
provides for such a procedure.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance
amendment.

I enclose the following documents relative to the
Colonial Church development:
1. Four copies of a parking lot agreement. This
has been reviewed with you and, I believe, is now in acceptable
form. All copies have been signed by the Church. It is now
to be signed by the Mayor and Manager. Once signed, a copy
should be retained by the City and three copies returned to
me. I will deliver those copies to the Church. The Church
does intend to record the agreement. I see no reason to
object to the recording.
2. A warranty deed from the Church to the City for
Lot 1, Block 1, COLONIAL CHURCH OF EDINA FIRST ADDITION.
The deed contains a restriction that the property be used
for public park, public parking and related purposes. The
City already has a quitclaim deed to the same property. The
enclosed deed is dated the same date as the quitclaim deed,
September 30, 1977. I suggest the warranty deed be recorded
whether or not the quitclaim deed has been recorded. 1I pre -
sume that Lot 1 has already been exempted from taxation begin-
ning with the taxes payable in 1978; if not, that exemption
should now be processed .3 If you wish us to assist with the
recording of the deed, please advise.
3. A letter from the Church to the City, dated
September 30, 1977, advising that the taxes payable in 1977
and prior years against Lot 1 will be paid by the Church without

prejudice to its exemption claims and authorizing transfer
of all special assessments from the lot conveyed to the City
to the other property of the Church.
4. A proposed form of resolution, together with
attached map, whereby a portion of road to complete Colonial
Way is dedicated by the City. The Church has requested this
resolution to confirm the existence of a public road from the
church property all the way to Tracy Avenue. The resolution
also ,accepts the release of an easement over the public road
area in favor of the Church. That deed has not yet been
delivered to the City, but soon will be.
If these documents now look in order, I suggest the
matter be placed on the Council agenda for November 21. The
Council should (i) a_ rove execution and delivery of the
pA—rkin2 agreement, (ii) • e�on�yancq��t�,1.,�,lock

P.S. I would hope that the City has previously accepted
the deed to Lot 1, Block 1, etc., and that it need not now
accept this deed. This is because, in order to exempt the prop-
erty from taxes payable in 1978, the property must have been
owned by the City prior to October 15, 1977. I presume there
is some Council action noted prior to September 30, the date
of the original quitclaim deed to the City. �
