Honorable Mayor of Edina
Edina City Council
4801 West 50th Street
Edina, MN 55424
Re: Proposed Ordinance No. 1995 -13
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
The purpose of this letter is to respectfully request that you
do not adopt proposed Ordinance No. 1995 -13. We own and manage the
rental apartment properties known as Vernon Oaks Apartments, 5400
Vernon Avenue, and The Lincoln Apartments, 5200 and 5241 Lincoln
Drive. These apartment communities. have three buildings with
parking garages that would be affected by the proposed ordinance.
We urge rejection of the proposed ordinance for the following
reasons:
1. The proposed ordinance fails to address a compelling
public purpose. What is the problem the ordinance is
designed to correct?
2. It is our understanding that Mr. Velde cites 5 instances
of carbon monoxide ( "CO ") incidents in the past two years
arising from parking garages adjacent to housing.
Fairview Southdale hospital reports 29 CO incidents in
the past year. Our conversation with the Edina Fire
Department indicated that their CO poisoning calls were
primarily to single family residences with defective
furnaces. Assuming Mr. Velde's goal is to address CO
poisoning for all citizens of Edina, what is his plan to
inspect and monitor the home furnaces. Edina has a large
stock of homes that are 20+ years of age with old
furnaces. If CO poisoning control is the true goal, a
comprehensive CO monitoring program is appropriate.
Including only multi - family units in a CO monitoring
program is unfair and discriminatory.
7 ;
Honorable Mayor of Edina
Edina City Council
January 2, 1996
Page 2
3. For the 5 incidents that did occur, where did they occur?
If a small number of multi - family garages are believed to
be "problem" properties, it is not appropriate to require
95% of the remaining properties to pay for the sins of a
few. Offenders should pay.
4. Last year, Mr. Velde proposed an apartment building
inspection program budgeted at $70,000. Mayor Richards
deleted that budget request. This licensing program will
raise $11,100 and more. This ordinance looks like a
back door way of raising additional revenues for Mr.
Velde's department. I would ask him what other revenue
raising proposals he has in mind.
5. The funding of this ordinance is unfair. By law, rental
apartment residents pay taxes to the City of Edina at a
rate 340% of the rate paid by owner occupied housing.
The city should look at this already generous revenue
stream to fund CO monitoring for rental apartment
residents.
6. We try very hard to make a living through our ownership
of rental apartments. We have every incentive to
maintain our properties in top condition. We are
required by existing laws and regulations to keep our
properties in safer and better condition than single
family homes. Failure to do so could result in lawsuits
that could put us out of business and financially destroy
US. This ordinance is unnecessary and represents
additional government regulation where none is
appropriate.
For these reasons and more, please reject this ordinance.
We offer an alternative. The City Council could appoint a
committee of voluteers to study the CO issue. In addition to Mr.
Velde, the committee should consist of a rental housing
representative, an owner occupied housing representative, one or
more industry specialists, a representative of the Mayor /City
Council and a homeowner representative. I or a member of our
company would be pleased to participate.

The committee would first understand the problem. Next, it
could identify options available. For example, we are already
required to annually test our fire alarm systems. As such, an
annual CO test could be made a part of that test. Further, there
are a number of mechanical system solutions that could be included
in the problem solving menu. A public /private joint effort will
work.
Reject the ordinance. Establish the CO Monitoring Committee
of the City Council. Request a report with recommendations in 120
days. Thank you.

MINUTES OF THE JOINT MEETING
OF THE EDINA HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
CITY COUNCIL HELD AT CITY HALL
DECEMBER 19, 1995
A joint meeting of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the City Council was
convened to consider concurrently: 1) Grandview Area Planning Study by the Hoisington,
Koegler Group, Inc. (HKGi), 2) Preliminary Plat for Kunz/Lewis Addition (5200 Eden Circle and
5220 Eden Avenue), 3) Preliminary Rezoning - PID Planned Industrial District to POD -1
Planned Office District (5229 Eden Avenue), Laurent/Park Development, Office Park
Redevelopment and 4) Final Development Plan for Kunz Parts Plus Warehouse ( 5200 Eden
Circle). Action was taken by the HRA and Council as recorded.
ROLL CALL Answering rollcall were Commissioners /Members Kelly, Maetzold, Paulus, Smith
and Richards.
JOINT HRA/COUNCIL GRANDVIEW AREA PLANNING STUDY PRESENTED: PUBLIC
HEARINGS HELD: PRELIMINARY PLAT KUNZ/LEWIS ADDITION. 5200 EDEN CIRCLE
AND 5220 EDEN AVENUE• PRELIMINARY REZONING - PID. PLANNED INDUSTRIAL
DISTRICT TO POD -1 - PLANNED OFFICE DISTRICT: AND FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN,
KUNZ PARTS PLUS WAREHOUSE 5200 EDEN CIRCLE: VARIOUS PLANNING MATTERS
CONTINUED Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on file.
Following due notice given, a public hearing was conducted.
Director Hughes reminded the HRA and Council that the subject property is generally located
south of Eden Avenue and west of the railroad tracks. After the October 16, 1995, meeting,
staff retained a planning consultant to review plans for the Lewis /Kunz Oil property. On
December 4, 1995, Michael Schroeder, Vice President of Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.
(HKGi), and Chief Designer of the project, presented concept plans for the area. Director
Hughes explained that Fred Hoisington, of HKGi was present tonight to present more detailed
plans.
Director Hughes noted that after the HRA reviewed the HKGi plans, the Council will consider
proposals for the private redevelopment of a portion of the area including:
1) the replat of the Kunz Oil /Lewis Engineering properties;
2) the redevelopment of the Lewis Engineering property with offices; and;
3) the renovation and expansion of the Kunz Oil warehouse.
Grandview Area Redevelopment Plan
Director Hughes briefed the HRA/Council concerning the Grandview Area Redevelopment Plan
which was adopted in 1984. The Plan was preceded by the Grandview Area Traffic Study
which was incorporated into the Redevelopment Plan. Since its adoption, several elements of
the public portion of the Plan have been completed:
• Link Road Reconstruction and Signalization
• Closure of Vernon Eden/Sherwood Intersection
• Consolidate Jerry's /Norwest Bank/Union Oil Access
• Vacate Summit Avenue
• Demolish Public Works Garage and Reconstruct Public Parking Ramp /Public
Works Facility
• Grandview Area Streetscape Project
Additionally,
several private redevelopments have occurred:
•
SuperAmerica Reconstruction
•
Jerry's Shopping Center and Office Expansion
•
Vernon Terrace Apartments
•
Summit Place Apartment
•
Washburn McReavy Renovation
•
Grandview Tire Redevelopment
•
Biltmore Bowl Redevelopment
Director Hughes explained the Redevelopment Plan identified the area south of Eden Avenue
as characterized by "non-conforming uses, obsolete buildings and incompatible land uses."
Goals promoted by the Redevelopment Plan included "to undertake land acquisition, parcel
assembly and parcel disposition necessary to eliminate certain substandard and non-
conforming uses and buildings, to assemble logical, conforming and more efficient building
sites." The Plan also noted that public acquisition of property would be kept to a minimum, but
in some cases public acquisition may be necessary.
Policies Concerning Tax Increment Financing (T.I.F.
Director Hughes explained that the City and HRA have been involved as a public partner in
several T.I.F. programs in addition to the Grandview Area. Although no formal written policies
concerning T.I.F. have been adopted, limits have been placed on the use of T.I.F. to:
1) Providing a public asset such as a park, parking ramp or public amenities;
2) Providing affordable housing; and
3) Acquiring properties which are unsafe- or grossly inappropriate for their
surroundings.
Alternatives for Study Area
Director Hughes explained that after reviewing the study area in light of our T.I.F. policies,
neither a public asset would be provided nor an unsafe or grossly inappropriate land use would
be eliminated by virtue of the public assuming an aggressive role in this redevelopment.
However, he noted the City could further the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and the
Grandview Redevelopment Plan by pursuing the redevelopment of these properties for
housing. Upon this basis, HKGi has been directed to refine two illustrative development plans
for the study area. The first plan illustrates the private redevelopment proposed by Kunz/Parts
Plus and Laurent/Park Development. The modified plans by HKGi reflect their
recommendations as to access and building arrangement.
The last illustrative plan depicts a variation of the Laurent/Park plan for the Lewis Engineering
property and a portion of the Kunz Oil property with the balance of the Kunz Oil property as
well as other properties south of Eden Avenue redeveloped for attached housing. The housing
plan furthers the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and Redevelopment Plan and provides
better separation of commercial and residential traffic. Significant public involvement would be
necessary in the form of financial assistance for the housing component and acquisition of
private property (in some cases this may require condemnation). Approximately $3 +million of
T.I.F. assistance may be required to complete the housing alternative.
Required Actions
Director Hughes explained that the Council must take certain actions at the December 19
meeting due to requirements of State law which concern the Preliminary Plat for the
Kunz/Lewis Addition and the Final Development Plan for Kunz Parts Plus. The Council may
decide to continue the Laurent/Park Rezoning for an additional 60+ days if it so desires.
As to the Preliminary Plat and Final Development Plan, Director Hughes explained the City
Council must either 1) approve or deny the plat, 2) approve or deny the final development plan
or 3) receive consent from the parties at interest to continue the matter to a future date.
Alternatives
If recommendations of HKGi are pursued with respect to the private plans of Laurent/Park and
Kunz Parts Plus, Director Hughes suggested a continuance should be considered until January_
16, 1996, allowing the developers opportunity to respond to revisions of the plans. Staff would
recommend denial of the plat and final development plan if a continuance were not approved.
Director Hughes explained that if Council were to pursue the housing plan, staff would
recommend denial of the plat and final development plan. Council should then direct staff to
prepare financial analyses and a feasibility report concerning such a project.
Public Comments
Chairman /Mayor Richards opened the hearing for public comments.
John Menke, 5301 Pinewood Trail, representing the Richmond Hills Neighborhood
Association, stated the private redevelopment plan has been reviewed by the neighborhood
association in several versions. They have some concerns regarding traffic and height, but
the basic proposal is livable to the Association. The housing plan is another matter. Mr.
Menke expressed concern that the number of living units more than doubled, that the
neighborhood association has not had the opportunity to review the housing alternative and
would need more time than 30 days to review. He thought the neighborhood association could
support the private development plan, but would like to see a cul de sac at Eden Circle instead
of a through street.
Chris Moran, Laurent Parks Development Team, stated Monday was his first opportunity to
review the Hoisington plan. This is about the ninth different plan seen for the site. Mr. Moran
agrees with almost every plan seen so far. Their team is more than happy to work with the City
and neighborhood to develop a mutually agreeable plan. Their only problem with the revised
private development plan is that the City would be taking land away and Laurent could not
meet parking requirements.
Ted Giannobile, 5244 Eden Circle, TSE office building south of the Kunz/Lewis site expressed
concern regarding parking with any of the proposed alternatives. He asked that the developers
and Council consider their parking needs. If the housing plan is pursued what is to become
of TSE's building.
Walter Kunz, 5200 Eden Circle, stated that where the Laurent people generally approved of
all the plan variations, this last variation offers him some concern. The partial removal of the
Kunz building is an issue because of the way the building was constructed. Mr. Kunz could
remodel their building as previously proposed and still have exterior walls existing, however,
moving the walls back twenty feet requires replacing the entire north face of the building. Mr.
Kunz also questioned the loading dock design with semi's backing in at an angle. Sealing off
Eden Avenue is a concern because this would require semis to make loops within parking lot.
Mr. Kunz indicated his desire to participate in discussions regarding the revised development
proposal, but felt the necessity of stating his concerns.
.'A
Commission /Council Comments
Chairman/Mayor Richards asked Mr. Hoisington for clarification of whether or not a cul de sac
would work if the private development plan is pursued, where the proposed cul de sac would
be located, and if the housing plan were pursued would condemnation by the City be
necessary? Mr. Hoisington replied that three scenarios are possible for street access in this
area: 1) a total cul de sac; 2) providing some access to the TAGs building off the cul de sac;
or, 3) keeping Eden Avenue as a through street. Further, Mr. Hoisington stated the housing
plan would use the Lewis and Tags sites.
Commissioner/Member Maetzold asked for more information regarding the public participation
if the housing plan were chosen. Director Hughes responded that the housing plan at the
proposed density would not support the current land value of the properties and that public
participation would be twofold. First, using the City's or HRA's power of eminent domain, if
necessary, the properties would be acquired. Secondly, the land cost would probably need
to be written down through a tax increment financing process to make the land affordable for
residential use. A very preliminary review of the land shows the value at approximately
$25,000 - $30,000 per residential unit, but to be offered as "affordable housing" the value
needs to be approximately $7,000 per residential unit.
Commissioner /Member Smith expressed his opinion that this is not the time or place for the
City to invest taxpayers' funds in the residential plan. The burden of providing "affordable
housing" falls too heavily on the taxpayers, therefore he recommended focussing on the private
redevelopment with the current owners working with both the neighborhood association and
the planning consultant to achieve a workable plan.
Commissioner/Member Kelly stated that while she is committed to providing more lower income
housing she agrees with Commissioner /Member Smith's rationale supporting the private
redevelopment plan instead of the housing plan. Commissioner /Member Kelly asked Fire
Chief Paulfranz about the safety issue if a cul de sac is developed at Eden Circle. Chief
Paulfranz replied that the department always favors multiple accesses, however, he indicated
he had not reviewed the proposed cul de sac design. Chief Paulfranz indicated that in other
similar circumstances safety concerns have been satisfied with proper street sizing . and
alignment.
Commissioner /Member Maetzold indicated his preference for the housing plan which he felt
upheld the spirit of the Grandview Redevelopment Plan developed in 1984.
Commissioner /Member Maetzold favored the combination of office and housing over the
office /warehouse development because it offers good transition to the existing residential
neighborhood. The housing plan also offers an opportunity to further our livable communities
housing goals.
Commissioner /Member Paulus commented that this site is very difficult to work with since
developers are unable to work with raw land. Commissioner /Member Paulus advised any
.redevelopment will not be perfect due to the prohibitively high land cost and the road
encumbrance on the site, therefore she indicated her preference for the private development
plan.
Chairman /Mayor Richards reiterated his support of the private development plan over the
housing plan for all of the previously stated reasons also observing that the Council has a
number of times turned down residential plans for the ' property south of Eden.
Chairman/Mayor Richards added it makes sense to utilize the land similarly to what currently
exists with modifications to the zoning from Industrial to and Office on the north portion of the
southerly site. Chairman/Mayor Richards commented that many issues need to be addressed
as indicated by Mr. Hoisington's report. He expressed hope that the developer would be
sensitive to all the issues in view of the magnitude of the rezoning request. Chairman/Mayor
Richards concluded Council consensus appears to focus on the private plan for the
Kunz/Lewis property
Chairman/Mayor Richards asked Mr. Kunz whether he would consent to continuing action on
his final development plan proposal and the preliminary plat of the Kunz/Lewis Property until
January 16, 1996. Mr. Kunz stated that he understands that the Council is focusing on the
private development plan for the property. In light of this focus then Mr. Kunz agreed to
extending the date for action until January 16, 1996.
Chairman /Mayor Richards asked Mr. Moran if he agreed with the direction Council is taking
regarding the property understanding that Council will act at its January 16, 1996 meeting. Mr.
Moran replied that Gordon Lewis is technically still the owner of the property, however, Mr.
Moran had been given authority by Mr. Lewis to agree to continuing action until January 16,
1996.
Mr. Kunz stated he also had a letter from Gordon Lewis extending Council's time for action
fifteen days. Mr. Kunz said when he arrived at the Council meeting and saw the January 16,
1996 date for action he phoned Mr. Lewis who gave him verbal authority to use his best
judgement regarding the continuance. Mr. Kunz indicated his acceptance of the January 16,
1996 action date.
Member Maetzold moved to continue until January 16, 1996 action on the Preliminary
Plat request of the Kunz/Lewis property, 5200 Eden Circle and 5220 Eden Avenue and
the Final Development Plan, Kunz Park Plus Warehouse, 5200 Eden Circle as consented
to by Mr. Walter Kunz and Mr. Gordon Lewis.
Ted Giannobile asked that he be included in redevelopment discussions relative to his parking
issues. Chairman/Mayor Richards replied. that Mr. Giannobile's parking issue is a private
matter and not one that the City can be involved in.
Member Kelly seconded the motion
Ayes: Kelly, Maetzold, Paulus, Smith, Richards

plan seen so far. Their team is more than happy to work with the City and neighborhood to develop a
mutually agreeable plan. Their only problem with the revised private development plan is that the City would
be taking land away and Laurent could not meet parking requirements.
Ted Giannobile, 5244 Eden Circle, TSE office building south of the Kunz/Lewis site expressed concern
regarding parking with any of the proposed altematives. He asked that the developers and Council consider
their parking needs. If the housing plan is pursued what is to become of TSE's building.
Walter Kunz, 5200 Eden Circle, stated that where the Laurent people generally approved of all the plan
variations, this last variation offers him some concern. The partial removal of the Kunz building is an issue
because of the way the building was constructed. Mr. Kunz could remodel their building as previously
proposed and still have exterior walls existing, however, moving the walls back twenty feet requires replacing
the entire north face of the building. Mr. Kunz also questioned the loading dock design with semi's backing
in at an angle. Sealing off Eden Avenue is a concern because this would require semis to make loops within
parking lot. Mr. Kunz indicated his desire to participate in discussions regarding the revised development
proposal, but felt the necessity of stating his concerns.
Council Comments
Chairman/Mayor Richards asked Mr. Hoisington for clarification of whether or not a cul de sac would work
if the private development plan is pursued, where the proposed cul de sac would be located, and if the
housing plan were pursued would condemnation by the City be necessary? Mr. Hoisington replied that three
scenarios are possible for street access. in this area: 1) a total cul de sac; 2) providing some access to the
TAGs building off the cul de sac; or 3) keeping Eden Avenue as a through street. Further, Mr. Hoisington
stated the housing plan would use the Lewis and Tags sites.
Commissioner /Member Maetzold asked for more information regarding the public participation if the housing
plan were chosen. Assistant Manager Hughes responded that the housing plan at the proposed density
would not support the current land value of the properties and that public participation would be twofold.
First, using the City's or HRA's power of eminent domain, if necessary, the properties would be acquired.
Secondly, the land cost would probably need to be written down through a tax increment financing process
to make the land affordable for residential use. A very preliminary review of the land shows the value at
approximately $25,000 - $30,000 per residential unit, but to be offered as "affordable housing" the value
needs to be approximately $7,000 per residential unit.
Commissioner /Member Smith expressed his opinion that this is not the time or place for the City to invest
taxpayers' funds in the residential plan. The burden of providing "affordable housing" falls too heavily on the
taxpayers, therefore he recommended focussing on the private redevelopment with the current owners
working with both the neighborhood association and the. planning consultant to achieve a workable plan.
Commissioner /Member Kelly stated that while she is committed to providing more lower income housing she
agrees with Commissioner /Member Smith's rationale supporting the private redevelopment plan instead of
the housing plan. Commissioner /Member Kelly asked Fire Chief Paulfranz about the safety issue if a cul
de sac is developed at Eden Circle. Chief Paulfranz replied that the department always favors multiple
accesses, however, he indicated he had not reviewed the proposed cul de sac design. Chief Paulfranz
indicated that in other similar circumstances safety concerns have been satisfied with proper street sizing
and alignment.
Commissioner /Member Maetzold indicated his preference for the housing plan which he felt upheld the spirit
of the Grandview Redevelopment Plan developed in 1984. Commissioner /Member Maetzold favored the
combination of office and housing over the office/warehouse development because it offers good transition
to the existing residential neighborhood. The housing plan also offers an opportunity to further our livable
communities housing goals.
Commissioner /Member Paulus commented that this site is very difficult to work with since developers are
unable to work with raw land. Commissioner /Member Paulus advised any redevelopment will not be perfect
due to the prohibitively high land cost and the road encumbrance on the site, therefore she indicated her
preference for the private development plan.
Chairtnan/Mayor Richards reiterated his support of the private development plan over the housing plan for
all of the previously stated reasons also observing that the Council has a number of times turned down
residential plans for, the property south of Eden. Chairman/Mayor Richards added it makes sense to utilize
the land similarly to what currently exists with modifications to the zoning from Industrial to and Office on
the north portion of the southerly site. Chairman/Mayor Richards commented that many issues need to be
addressed as indicated by Mr. Hoisington's report. He expressed hope that the developer would be
sensitive to all the issues in view of the magnitude of the rezoning request. Chairman /Mayor Richards
concluded Council consensus appears to focus on the private plan for the Kunz/Lewis property
Chairman /Mayor Richards asked Mr. Kunz whether he would consent to continuing action on his final
development plan proposal and the preliminary plat of the Kunz/Lewis Property until January 16, 1996. Mr.
Kunz stated that he understands that the Council is focusing on the private development plan for the
property. In light of this focus then Mr. Kunz agreed to extending the date for action until January 16, 1996.
Chairman /Mayor Richards asked Mr. Moran if he agreed with the direction Council is taking regarding the
property understanding that Council will act at its January 16, 1996 meeting. Mr. Moran replied that Gordon
Lewis is technically still the owner of the property, however, Mr. Moran had been given authority by Mr. Lewis
to agree to continuing action until January 16, 1996.
Mr. Kunz stated he also had a letter from Gordon Lewis extending Council's time for action fifteen days. Mr.
Kunz said when he arrived at the Council meeting and saw the January 16, 1996 date for action he phoned
Mr. Lewis who gave him verbal authority to use his best judgement regarding the continuance. Mr. Kunz
indicated his acceptance of the January 16, 1996 action date.
Member Maetzold moved to continue until January 16, 1996 action on the Preliminary Plat request of
the Kunz/Lewis property, 5200 Eden Circle and 5220 Eden Avenue and the Final Development Plan,
Kunz Park Plus Warehouse, 5200 Eden Circle as consented to by Mr. Walter Kunz and Mr. Gordon
Lewis.
Ted Giannobile asked that he be included in redevelopment discussions relative to his parking issues.
Chairman /Mayor Richards replied that Mr. Giannobile's parking issue is a private matter and not one that
the City can be involved in.

APPEAL OF VARIANCE DENIAL - NICK & ATHENA KAROS, 15 CIRCLE WEST.
Presentation by Associate Planner
Associate Planner Kris Aaker informed the Council the subject property, 15 Circle West is located on the
west side of the street. The owners Nick and Athena Karos are proposing constructing a new two story
home after removing the existing two story home from the site: The new home would be constructed in
roughly the same location as the existing house, however the new house will create a slightly larger building
foot print. The position of the new house was proposed to preserve existing rear yard landscaping including,
a waterfall fountain and existing bonsai trees. The proposed plan includes a partially enclosed two story
front entrance area encroaching six feet into the established frontyard setback. Frontyard setbacks along
the block vary between 21 feet to in excess of 100 feet. Associate Planner Aaker stated the house's
footprint conforms to all other zoning ordinance requirements in terms of side and rear yard setback, lot
coverage and building height. On December 7, 1995 the Zoning Board of Appeals heard and denied the
property owners request for a variance. The property owners Nick and Athena Karos then appealed the
decision to the City Council.
Proponent Comment
Dean Dovolis, Dovolis, Johnson & Ruggied, Inc., architect for the Karos elaborated upon the location of an
existing grotto stream and bonsai trees which were part of the original construction in approximately 1940.
He stated that although this property has been neglected the Karos desire to preserve the landscaping,
however, because of standing vacant for over two years the house was not economically feasible for repair.
Mr. Dovolis stated the new house was designed to fit in with the neighborhood, however, the front entrance
which is open air be would project over the setback line.
Nick Karos, owner of 15 Circle West, presented to the City Council additional diagrams of the subject
property and pictures of the existing house and garden staked to show the location of the proposed new
house related to the existing rearyard landscaping. In addition, Mr. Karos presented a memorandum from
Mr. Bob Rinek of 6 Circle West supporting the variance, a letter written by Mr. Karos, reporting his
discussion with Mrs. Read, 9 Circle West, a memorandum from Charles Blomquist regarding the position
of the proposed new house in relationship to the existing rear landscaping, and a portion of a market
evaluation of the property. Mr. Karos stated that the new house as planned would be eight feet from the
existing bonsai trees and that moving the house back six feet would only allow two feet of clearance
between the house and garden. Mr. Karos pointed out that a house on Coopers Circle was granted a front
yard setback variance. He also addressed concerns expressed by Kent Banks and Tony Navarro in letters
both dated December 19, 1995. Mr. Karos voiced concern that since his variance request opened up his
house plans to the City and he feels it has turned into a detiate'about the size of the house rather than just
the six foot variance. He urged that attention be focused on the setback variance not other issues.
Member Kelly stated she lives at 2 Circle West which is outside the 200 foot area notified by the City for
variance proceedings. Member Kelly was made aware of the variance request by neighbors and had
considered not entering into the discussion because of her closeness. However, Member Kelly continued
that she does not reside in the Hilldale area, her home is in Meadowbrook Oaks, therefore she intends to
participate in the discussion and does not see a conflict. Member Kelly attended the Board of Appeals to
view the process.
Public Comment
Mayor Richards opened the hearing for public comment.
Tony Navarro, 17 Circle West, a twenty -five year Edina resident, who has lived at his present address about
eight years said he felt these were unfortunate circumstances to meet a new neighbor. Mr. Navarro stated
that the six feet the entrance would encroach into the setback area creating an image factor. If the house
were moved back six feet Mr. Navarro believed that the repositioning would make the house less
demonstrative. He stated the larger homes built in the area have had deep setbacks and while the proposed
home is beautiful it is not conducive to the homes on the rest of the street. If that is not the discussion he
still wants his opinion expressed.
Kent Bank, 7 Circle East, reiterated Mr. Navarro's concern for new neighbor, and stated that he authored
his letter for himself and three neighbors. Mr. Bank feels that Mr. Karos comments regarding the backyard
were not significantly different from his letter. Mr. Bank's real concern is the aesthetics and this house will
protrude towards the street. He and his neighbors intent is to minimize the impact of the proposed house.
Athena Karos, owner 15 Circle West, expressed concern about the variance and their efforts to preserve
the rear landscaping. Unfortunately they have been used as a platform to express concerns about what is
happening in the neighborhood. Their Intent was not to build a monstrosity. According to City Planning Staff
they thought the variance request was not out of the ordinary so Mrs. Karos felt caught off guard with the
denial. Mrs. Karos requested that they be allowed to add the six foot open air balcony as proposed on their
house plans.
Nick Karos stated that he realizes many of the residents expressing concern are long time residents. Mr.
Karos noted. his family is trying to build a home they can live in for fifty years and urged approval of the
variance as requested.
Council Comment
Member Kelly asked Associate Planner Aaker whether or not the Cooper Circle variance had to do with a
hardship because of proximity to the water. Associate Planner Aaker responded that the Cooper Circle
variance was for a home at the end of the street. It was for a front overhang with posts similar to the Karos
request, however, the Cooper Circle house was not a two story post, pillar and overhang. Associate Planner
Aaker stated she could not recollect the degree of the variance.
Mayor Richards stated that the home is not the issue, aesthetics will not be reviewed. Mayor Richards
explained that the Council spent over one and a half years studying massing and could not arrive at a
consensus among the various bodies reviewing the issue. Mayor Richards stated it is not the City's position
to talk about aesthetics. Variance request reviews need to be based on the physical characteristics of the
site. Specifically, this lot is approximately 350 feet deep, with the proposed house located on the front third
of the lot. An approximate 40 foot differential exists from'one end of the lot to the other. There is a reason
to preserve the physical characteristics in existence on the lot. Mayor Richards indicated his support of the
variance based only upon the physical characteristics of the lot.
Member Smith agreed that Council should not review aesthetics or massing. However, Member Smith does
not see sufficient reason to grant the six foot front yard variance relative to the design in this case.
Member Paulus expressed her intent to support the variance based upon previous statement by Edina
Planning staff regarding the need to create more drama to some of Edina's ramblers, therefore, staff was
encouraging approval of some front yard variances. In view of this position and the fact that there is not
living space encroaching into the setback Member Paulus believes the variance should be approved to be
consistent.with a previously stated position.
Member Maetzold advised of his intent to not support the variance request because he believes the reasons
for requesting the variance are not sufficient to grant a variance.
Member Kelly voiced concern being the deciding member in this variance request. However, she stated she
has difficulty granting a six foot variance on a property that is 350 feet deep. Variances are granted only
when a hardship condition exists. Member Kelly pointed out that the Zoning Board of Appeals decision was
unanimous and she, supports that decision.
Member Smith moved to affirm the denial of the Zoning Board of Appeals December 7, 1995 of the
variance request of Nick and Athena Karos, 15 Circle West. Member Maetzold seconded the motion.
Rollcall:
Ayes: Kelly, Maetzold, Smith

Motion carried.
FINAL PLAT APPROVED FOR TAMBORNINO ADDITION (6608 DAKOTA TRAIL)
Presentation by Planner
Planner Larsen reviewed the proposed plat which is a 2.9 acre R -1 lot with an existing home accessing
Dakota Trail. The new lot on the westerly side of the property would access Mohawk Trail. Planner Larsen
noted that the only change from the preliminary plat is the name change from Tambomino Addition to
Mohawk Woods. Planner Larsen recommended final plat approval based upon a subdivision dedication
value of $175,000 and a forty (40) foot conservation restriction adjacent to Mohawk Trail.
Mayor'Richards invited comment from the proponent or public. No comment was heard.

ORDINANCE NO 1995 -11 ADOPTED ON SECOND READING - AMENDING CODE SECTION 900.18,
SUBD 1 ELIMINATING THE RESTRICTION OF ORDERING A MEAL FOR SERVICE OF WINE Assistant
Manager Hughes noted that Council conducted a public hearing on December 4, 1995 and granted First
Reading to an ordinance amendment eliminating the requirement that a meal be served with wine; requiring
that not less than 60 percent of the gross sales of the licensed premises be attributable to the sale of food;
and requiring that not more than 15 percent of the seating capacity of the restaurant be located at a bar or
service counter. The City Council directed that following two additional provisions be included in the
amendment:
1. Requiring an affidavit be filed at the time of license renewal that documents the actual percentage
of gross receipts attributable to the sale food during the preceding twelve months; and
2. Inclusion of a stronger training requirement for restaurant personnel.
Assistant Manager Hughes explained that Section 1 of the proposed amendment includes language
requiring documentation of actual gross receipts attributable to food sales. In addition, Section 2 provides
the training requirement. The training provision requires attendance at an alcohol awareness program by
75 percent of the individuals authorized to serve alcoholic beverages and all licensed managers.
The Council briefly discussed whether or not 75 percent was adequate for the training requirement.
Consensus was that at license renewal time 75 percent was adequate since the ordinance requires all
managers to be trained in order to be licensed.
Public Comment
Suzanne Wolf, representing Gabbert & Beck, the Galleria's management company stated that perhaps 25
percent of licensees employees do not serve wine such as kitchen staff.
Susan Agrawal, 7438 Xerxes Avenue urged the Council to remain strict regarding the sale and service of
liquor in Edina..
Member Maetzold moved Second Reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 1995 -11, motion seconded
by Member Paulus.
Member Kelly asked staff to respond to Ms. Wolfs comments regarding the 25 percent. Assistant Manager
Hughes explained the ordinance requires 75 percent of employees authorized to serve wine or liquor,
therefore, kitchen staff or hostesses would not be required to be trained.
Member Smith moved to amend the motion adding to Paragraph A, of Section 2 of Ordinance 1995 -11
after the words Police Chief the following: "notwithstanding the atiove all employees authorized to
serve or sell wine or liquor on the licensed premises have completed an alcohol awareness program
approved by the Police Chief within thirty days." Member Maetzold seconded the motion.
Member Paulus stated of her intention to vote against the amendment to the original motion because of the
logistical problems it would cause.
Member Kelly indicated her agreement with Member Paulus.

Engineer Hoffman informed the Council that an article had been placed in the Edina Sun - Current informing
the public of the upcoming project MnDOT will be undertaking rebuilding the Highway 169 and Interstate 494
Interchange. He stated this is an informational presentation and no action is required of the Council since
the project is entirely the State's responsibility. Engineer Hoffman introduced Ron Rachelle of the Predesign
Department of MnDOT. Mr. Rachelle explained the reconstruction planned for the spring of 1997 will be an
interim design. MnDOT will be rebuilding the Highway 169 bridge, the ramps, building some HIV lanes and
improving the frontage roads. The area will not be completely shut down with at least two lanes in each
direction always operating. The estimated cost of the project is $7 million and the life of the road is expected
to be at least ten years. Council members indicated their disappointment with the cost of the project for an
interim solution. Mr. Rachelle acknowledged the Council's concerns.
Susan Agrawal asked several questions regarding the location of the proposed reconstruction, the potential
of toll roads being built and why the project is a temporary design to which Mr. Rachelle responded.

'RESOLUTION ADOPTED RECOMMENDING SALE OF TAX FORFEIT LAND TO ADJACENT PROPERTY
OWNERS ONLY Motion by Member Smith, seconded by Member Kelly adopting the following
resolution:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Edina has received from the County of Hennepin a list
of lands in said municipality which became the property of the State of Minnesota for non - payment
of property taxes, which said list was dated November 20, 1995, Non - Conservation List 901 -NC; and
WHEREAS, the parcel in said list identified as PINS No. 19 -028 -24-22 -0044 has heretofore be
classified by the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County, Minnesota, as non -
conservation land the sale thereof and has heretofore been authorized by said Board of County
Commissioner; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined by the Edina City Council that there are no existing or pending
special assessments on said parcel; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined by the Edina City Council that said. parcel need not be withheld
from sale pursuant to M.S. 85.012; M.S. 92.461; M.S. 282.01, Subd. 8.; M.S. 282.018, Subd. 1; or M.S.
282.018, Subd. 2;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Edina City Council that the said classification is
hereby approved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Edina City Council that, acting pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
282.01, Subd. 7a, it has determined that said parcel of land is not buildable according to the City's
Zoning Ordinance and that sale of said parcel be limited to the adjacent property (PINS No. 19 -028 -24-
22 -0045) for attachment thereto.
ANIMAL CONTROL REPORT Police Chief Bemhjelm told the Council that at their suggestion, he reviewed
City practices for dealing with sick/injured wildlife with staff. The goal was to learn if better, more cost
effective and operationally feasible methods existed for treating and/or euthanizing the wildlife. The report
did not include domestic pets that are usually easier to handle because of close human contact and the risk
of rabies is greatly reduced because of vaccination.
PARK BOARD REFERENDA INPUT Director Keprios presented an updated report on the Park Board
Referenda containing community input from nine community meetings that have been completed. Due to
weather, the Senior Citizen Center general membership meeting was postponed and rescheduled for
January 5, 1996. Additionally, the Edina School District administrative staff will view the slide presentation
January 9, 1996. Comments received, in general have been very positive, supportive and informative.
Question asked most often were:
1) Why have we not kept up with maintaining and replacing our wom infrastructure?
2) What is to prevent this from happening again in another twenty to thirty years?
3) If the issue passes, when will construction begin, how long before construction will be completed and
in what priority?
Director Keprios noted the most significant request came from the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee to
build a $2.5 million free standing inter - generational activities building serving seniors, youth and adults. The
Committee made a formal proposal at the December 12, 1995 Park Board meeting. The Park Board passed
a motion requesting direction from the Council on the issue.
The Park Board encouraged scheduling a joint meeting between the Board and the Council to review a
variety of issues involving current and future funding of the park system and requested direction from the
Council regarding the Senior Citizen Advisory Board's proposal.
Lila Larson, Chairperson of the Edina Senior Center Advisory and Charlotte Burrow gave an informal
presentation of the Senior Citizen Advisory Board's request for the construction of a free standing Senior
Citizen Center. Some reasons cited for the request include: the current site's space constraints, parking
difficulty, transportation, and the current location's third floor logistical difficulty for some seniors. Benefits
could include improving the physical/emotional outlook of Edina senior citizens, utilizing the facility as an
inter - generation gathering place and community outreach.
Council discussed their concerns with: timing of the request, whether or not the schools had been
approached relative to either parking or transportation, and the adequacy of the current senior center.
Council directed staff to complete the neighborhood input meetings then to schedule a joint meeting with
the Park Board. Also Council indicated that the final dollar amount of the upcoming referenda has not yet
been determined and that a further update should be on the January 2, 1996 agenda.

ON DECEMBER 28,1995 AT 5:00 P.M.
ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Members Maetzold, Paulus, Smith and Mayor Pro Tern Kelly.
1995 YEAR END BUDGET FORECAST PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED Manager Rosland explained details
of the year end projects for the City's General Fund revenues and expenditures. An increase in undesignated
reserves of $402,000 is anticipated for 1995. A summary of the major categories was presented as follows:
The increase is because revenues for Buildings Permits, Ambulance Fees and Municipal Court Fines exceeded
budgeted revenues by $299,000. In addition, the expenditures are expected to be approximately $103,000 under
budget. Major areas are: Public Works under by $80,000 due primarily to underspending in the commodities and
personnel areas; Police Department under by $55,000 because not fully staffed until late in the year, Fire
Department over by approximately $150,000 because of overtime that ambulance fees can partially offset; and
the Park Department under budget by $70,000 because of underspending in personnel and contractual services.
A brief discussion followed concerning the rebuilding of the reserve and strategies to reduce Fire Department
overtime.
Member Smith asked that the issue be placed on a future agenda for action during 1996.
PRELIMINARY AOL FIRE STATION PLAN VIEWED Manager Rosland showed the Council the preliminary plan
of the proposed Advanced Life Support Fire Station to be built during 1996. Manager Rosland pointed out the
station can house three vehicles, an ambulance, a fire pumper and another utility vehicle as necessary. The intent
at this time is to use the station as a power shift to improve response time and reduce overtime. It is hoped that
bids will be received and let in March of 1996 with construction of the station beginning in the spring of 1996.
CLAIMS PAID. Member Smith moved to approve payment of the following claims as shown in detail on
the Check Register dated December 21, 1995, General Fund $153,361.49; C.D.B.G. $5,865.00;

Recommendation:
Grant second reading to Ordinance No. 1995 -13 requiring the licensing and inspection of
parking garages adjacent to multiple residential buildings and amending Section 185 of the
City Code by adding a $ 100.00 fee for the parking garage license.
Information /Background:
e
On December 4, 1995, The City Council granted first reading to this Ordinance. Staff was
directed to notify all affected property owners or managers about the Ordinance that's under
consideration for their input. On December 12, 1995, notices were sent to fifty -one property
owners or managers who control the 113 multiple residential buildings identified as being
impacted by this Ordinance. A copy of the proposed Ordinance was included with this
mailing.
Staff has received four calls regarding this proposed Ordinance, all opposing the licensing and
fee. General comments addressed the issue of this being more bureaucracy; its just another
form of a tax; and a general belief that they are doing a good job at operating their buildings
so why should they pay for the people who do not keep up their equipment.
The changes which have been included on Ordinance 1995 -13 since first reading was
granted include a Section 3., which amends Section 185 by adding a new fee of $100.00 for
the license of the garage and technical changes to Section 740.05 replacing Section 1 and 2
with Subd. 1 and 2.

NOTICE
December 12, 1995
To All Interested Parties:
City of Edina
The Edina City Council will meet on January 2, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. to consider an
Ordinance which will require the licensing of apartment buildings, condominiums and
other multiple residential buildings which have enclosed parking garages adjacent to
the building. This ordinance was presented to the City Council on December 4, 1995
and was granted first reading. The proposed fee for this license will be $ 100.00 per
year and will become effective April 1, 1996 if passed by the Edina City Council.
This Ordinance is being considered because of the need to monitor the effectiveness
of the ventilation for these garages. This is warranted based upon over 20 years of
experience in monitoring multiple residential buildings with enclosed parking garages
and finding numerous instances where excessive carbon monoxide concentrations
have been found in living spaces. If these occurrences had not been found, the
residents of the building could have suffered harmful health effects which may not be
noticeable for several years.
A copy of the proposed Ordinance is included with this notice. Please review the
Ordinance and contact David Velde at 927 -8861 with your concerns or comments.
Also, feel free to express your view in person on January 2, 1996 by attending the
City Council meeting. In addition, written comments may be sent to City Hall by no
later than December 28, 1995 so they may be included with the City Council packet
for the Tuesday meeting. Please address any written comments to the attention of
the Edina City Clerk, 4801 West 50th Street, Edina, MN 55424.

Scenario #2 is similar to the first scenario with an added
$770,000 in new park amenities based on the feedback from the
community at the various community input meetings.
Scenario #3 is similar to Scenario #2 with an added $441,000 in
new park amenities based on the following:
1. Input from the Park and Recreation Services Public Opinion
Survey, which was completed in 1988.
2. Staff recommendations.
A chart that reflects the "Cost Per Household" for each scenario
is attached to this report.
Also included in this report is a breakdown of each of the four
categories for each scenario. The categories are:
1. Repair Or Replace Worn Infrastructure.
2. Enterprise Facility Capital Needs.
3. Maintenance And Environmentally Friendly Needs.
4. Additional Park Improvements And Amenities.
As you will note, the dollar amount in all three scenarios is the
same for categories 1, 2 and 3. The only category that is
different in each scenario is category 114. Additional Park
Improvements And Amenities."
Also included in this report is a copy of "not yet approved" Park
Board minutes from their Tuesday, December 12, 1995, Edina Park
Board meeting. As you will notice, the Edina Park Board did not
make any formal recommendations to raise the proposed bond issue
dollar amount at this time.
PARK BOND REFERENDA SPECIAL ELECTION DATE
To set a special election date for the two proposed park - related
bond referenda, staff would recommend that the Edina City Council
choose Tuesday, May 7, 1996, as the official date.
ACTIVITY CENTER PROPOSAL
At the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee meeting on Wednesday,
December 5, 1995, it was requested by the committee members to be
placed on the Edina Park Board agenda to discuss the possibility
of constructing a free - standing multi - generational activities
center building. This new free - standing building would be
designed to serve primarily the recreation and leisure needs of
Edina's senior population, as well as, serve teens and youth
populations in the future.
The senior citizen population is requesting that a professional
study be considered to ascertain the community's needs assessment
and level support for an activities center for seniors and youth.
Two potential sites were suggested at the Senior Citizen Advisory
Committee meeting:
1. Yorktown Park (possibly a joint venture with the YMCA).
2. Lake Cornelia Park.
-3-
At the Tuesday, December 12, 1995, Edina Park Board meeting, the
Edina Park Board discussed the proposal and passed the following
motion:
THAT WE GET. INPUT FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AS TO WHAT TYPE OF
DIRECTION THEY WOULD LIKE THE PARK BOARD, THE SENIOR CITIZEN
ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE GROUP TO TAKE A
LONG LOOK AT WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH RESPECT TO A MORE
PERMANENT SENIOR FACILITY.
As you will note in the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee's
-proposal-, they are asking the Edina City Council to consider
funding a $2,500,000 multi - generational facility.
The City of Edina's current lease with the Edina School District
to provide space for the Edina Senior Citizen Center is up and
the end of the year 2000.

I. APPROVAL OF THE NOVEMBER 14, 1995 MINUTES
Jean Rydell MOVED TO APPROVE THE NOVEMBER 14, 1995 MINUTES.
Beth Hall SECONDED THE MOTION. Minutes Approved.
II. COMMUNITY INPUT TOWN MEETING (ALL PARKS INCLUDED)
Mr. Keprios showed the slide presentation to the audience.
Mr. Montgomery asked if anyone in the audience had any questions
regarding the slide presentation or bond referendum. Jane Michael noted
that the presentation is superb, however, she is interested in the number of
kids who use the facilities because the slide presentation did not show the
number of kids that are packed into the facilities. She pointed out that she
has been using these facilities for the last 30 years and they are crowded.
Mr. Keprios explained that there are statistics on all scheduled activities as
well as all season tickets sold and daily admissions sold. However, they are
not funded to monitor the unscheduled leisure use at the local parks. Mr.
Keprios pointed out that in 1988 a survey was done regarding the park
system and there are figures available on how often people use the parks.
He noted that the survey shows approximately 90% of the people who live
in the city at some point in a years time use the park system, which
indicates they are heavily used.
Al Carlson indicated that he was unable to attend the Todd Park meeting,
however, it looks like a small price to pay for what they are getting and he is
looking forward to it.
Burt Ruedy indicated that he and his wife have adopted Todd Park and
therefore spend a lot of time working at the park. He stated that he sees a
lot of small children and their mothers using the facility which is in great
need of improvement and he is very glad to see this undertaking.
Mr. Keprios stated that a large section of the population from the Todd Park
meeting felt strongly that they would like a shelter building and hockey rink.
However, it was clear that a smaller section of the population indicated they
would rather see pathways and a picnic shelter. Mr. Keprios pointed out
that there was a lot of good input from all of the residents. He stated that
clearly the message from the Todd Park area residents was they need new
playground equipment, they need to update the tennis courts and they no
longer want adult activities scheduled at the park, they would rather see
youth activities scheduled there. Mr. Keprios explained that the staff's
response was we would be happy to do that, however, there is safety
concern with regards to scheduling youth vs. adults at the park. He noted
that the adults are more safety conscious than are children when they are
limited to just on street parking. Mr. Keprios also indicated that the City of
Edina owns the house that is on park property at Todd Park and it will be
coming down August 1, 1996. He noted that the current plan is to seed or
sod the vacated area until we see what the outcome of the bond issue is and
then possibly have a task force work on a plan that may include the addition
of a parking lot.
Mr. Montgomery asked Mr. Keprios to share with audience how many dollars
the Park Department has available in the normal budget process. Mr.
Keprios explained that in a years time the City Council allocates $180,000 a
year for a capital plan for all 39 parks. However, the revenue facilities have
to generate their own capital. They are in charge of that responsibility and
some of them can not make it because they are also responsible to pay off
their own operating expense and debt payment.
Mr. Keprios informed the audience that if they have any further comments to
send them to him in writing because he passes everything on to the Park
Board and City Council.
Mr. Dovolis indicated that he would like to commend the staff for the
excellent job they are doing with the presentation of the slide show and the
community meetings. He has heard nothing but positive input. Mr. Fee
noted that everything has been well done. Mr. Keprios stated that a lot of
credit is due to Dave Crowther who showed up at all of the meetings and
was very helpful. He noted that he appreciated him taking the time to be at
those meetings.
2
Mr. Montgomery asked if the general feeling has been all positive so far. Mr.
Keprios answered that the majority have beeri.much like we just heard,
however, people obviously have special concerns within their own particular
parks.
III. ACTIVITY CENTER PROPOSAL
Lila Larson handed out the proposal to the Park Board and noted that it is
presented for the sole purpose of developing a strategy to facilitate the
construction of a multi - purpose building to house the Edina Senior Center.
Ms. Larson indicated that the Senior Center Advisory Council would like to
"piggy back" a request for funds on the recently approved bond referendum.
She noted that the Edina Senior Center Advisory Council proposes that
funding in the amount of $2.5 million be set aside for the construction of a
free - standing Senior Center building. She indicated that everything she was
going to say is listed in the proposal.
Ms. Larson explained that there are two pieces of property that the City
already owns where they would like to possibly see a free standing Senior
Center be built. She noted one is at Lake Cornelia Park and other is on York
Avenue. Ms. Larson pointed out there are undoubtedly more than 9,000
senior citizens in Edina and the Senior Center has less than 1,500 paid
members. Ms. Larson indicated there are multiple reasons for why they
would like to have a free standing building much like other communities in
the area do. Ms. Larson stated that a lot of the surrounding communities
pay more attention to transportation to get their people to the center where
Edina has no transportation. Ms. Larson noted that the current Senior
Center has all the warmth and charm of an old. high school building.
Mr. Keprios indicated that he met with the Advisory Council last Wednesday
and noted that it was a very positive discussion and he received some really
good feedback. Mr. Keprios stated that Mr. Hughes, Assistant City Manger,
is the chair of the YMCA Board and is warm to the thought of possibly a
joint venture at the YMCA. He explained that the YMCA is refocusing their
vision on the populations that they are targeting and one of which is seniors
and the other target age group is the 10 to 14 year olds. He indicated that
the YMCA may be interested in a possible joint venture at the Yorktown
YMCA site. Mr. Keprios suggested that maybe we could work a deal to add
on to their facility through some other creative funding that wouldn't
necessarily have to involve this particular bond issue, however, a needs
assessment should be done first. This is one possible option. Ms. Larson
noted that she is sure there are other options. She explained how she
recently attended a one day seminar on inter- generational dynamics and she
has found out there are a lot of creative things we could be doing.
Mr. Montgomery asked if this item can be "piggy backed" on the referendum
3
at this stage. Mr. Keprios replied that anything is possible, however, it is a
little late in the game but if it is something you would like the City Council to
consider you can recommend it to them.
Mr. Montgomery asked Mr. Keprios where he would visualize a free standing
Senior Center at Lake Cornelia. Mr. Keprios replied they are considering
where the sand volleyball courts are now and that they would have to
somewhat expand the parking lot. Mr. Montgomery asked what kind of a
footprint is being talked about and Mr. Keprios indicated that they are
currently talking about a 10,000 square foot facility. Currently the Senior
Center has 7,040 square feet. Mr. Fee asked what would a facility like this
cost and Mr. Keprios indicated that he doesn't think it would 'cost 2.5
million. We noted it would probably be approximately $100 a square foot,
however, it also depends on the type of facility that is being built.
Mr. Fee asked what's the implication of the five year lease with the
Community Center. Mr. Keprios explained that part of the stipulation when
they renew the lease for another five years beginning January 1, 2001 is
they will charge us over $17,000 a year in today's dollars for the cost of
maintenance and upkeep. Mr. Keprios stated that in all honesty that isn't
reason enough to go out and build our own facility in a hurry. He indicated
that it's actually a pretty good deal as far as operational expenses. Mr.
Keprios pointed out that we would most definitely incur an awful lot more
than that if we owned our own facility and had to maintain our own heat,
light, power, janitor, etc. Ms. Bennett asked if at this point _we aren't
charged anything. Mr. Keprios indicated that the way the first contract was
written is we would not pay anything. It was noted that the City used
CDBG Amoney to put in the elevator and the City of Edina put in an additional
5100,000 to upgrade the third floor. He also pointed out that Community
Education does use the Senior Center area for, some of their programs.
Mr. Montgomery asked if the Fire Department would take over the tennis
court location at Yorktown Park and a Senior Center would take over the
softball field location at Yorktown Park. Mr. Keprios stated that that is very
likely. He indicated that this is actually an ideal site because it's where the
majority of the senior population is located. However, as far as aesthetics,
Lake Cornelia is a more beautiful site. Mr. Montgomery indicated that he has
a problem identifying a 100 ft. by 100 ft. footprint in Lake Cornelia with all
of the other things that are there.
Ms. Michael asked the Park Board if they would embrace the concept rather
than just table it or put it aside. Mr. Montgomery stated that he thinks the
Park Board needs to digest this a little bit. He noted that at this time without
a presentation he would assume that the Park Board would have to have
some more information before it can be brought before the City Council for
any kind of recommendation. Mr. Montgomery explained that he has been
4
on the Park Board for a while and the Senior Center is something where a lot
of time has been spent trying to improve it. He noted that he thinks it's
better now, but obviously it certainly can be even better when you compare
us to what other communities have to offer. Ms. Michael asked if there is
anything the Park Board would like the seniors to do as a group to help the
Park Board better understand where we are coming from.
Mr. Keprios pointed out that Jane Michael is a very active volunteer in that
she serves on the Referendum Team appointed by the Mayor and also serves
on the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee.
Mr. Crowther asked if they could get a better understanding of where the
2.5 million dollar figure came from. Ms. Larson,noted it's a starting figure.
Mr. Crowther asked what is going to come from the $2.5 million and how
was the number arrived at. Ms. Larson indicated that right now it's strictly
an estimate but she's hoping that it not only covers the facility but some of
the basic furnishings. She noted that it could be a larger number or it could
be a smaller number, she doesn't know what it's going to be. Mr. Keprios
pointed out that it all depends on what everyone wants the facility to be in
order to come up with a figure. He stated that there is obviously a lot of leg
work that needs to be done and if the Park Board and City Council want to
embrace this concept, he would be more than happy to do the necessary
research.
Ms. Bennett asked what are some of things that other communities have for
their senior citizens. Ms. Larson indicated that her husband has been going
around taking pictures of the free standing Senior. Centers in the .area. She
noted that most of them are larger and more extensive than ours and the
biggest thing they seem to have which Edina does not is transportation. Ms.
Larson pointed out that you walk into any of these centers and they are
swarming with people. She stated that at the Edina Senior Center they have
two men who are usually at the pool table where you can hardly get on a
pool table at Bloomington.
Ms. Larson commented that what they do have is well done and that they
couldn't ask for a better Director than Susan Weigle. Ms. Larson pointed out
that, if it wasn't for Susan, the place would be awful. She stated that when
you are up there alone the place is spooky. Ms. Larson also indicated that
she recently had knee surgery and. pointed out that it's a long way up to the
Senior Center and that it has so many drawbacks.
It was asked if Edina has some sort of transportation and Mr. Keprios
indicated that we do have a senior bus, however, it is not used to transport
people to the Senior Center. It's basically used to get people to their doctor
appointments and the grocery store. Ms. Larson pointed out that the drivers
are volunteer drivers. Mr. Fee asked Ms. Larson what they envision as far
5
as transportation, would they want to see the seniors picked up at their
homes or at different locations. Ms. Larson replied that she's not real sure,
however, she would think they would be picked uR at home and have it
work similar to the Metro Mobility program. Mr. Montgomery asked if most
seniors live in a condo or in their own individual home. It was noted the
majority of them are in their own homes.
Charlotte Burrell indicated that she is also on the Senior Citizen Advisory
Council and pointed out that the trend is they are trying to keep people out
of nursing homes. Therefore, they are going to get more and more people
coming to the senior centers and she feels we need to plan ahead because
the senior population has really increased.
Mr. Fee asked if the Park Board should get some sort of direction from the
City Council as to possibly formulating a joint venture committee with the
Park Board, seniors and whoever else they feel would be appropriate. Mr.
Dovolis noted that he embraces the idea of having a joint venture with the
seniors and Park Board so there is some discussion and we all know what
we are talking about.
Mr. Fee MOVED THAT WE GET INPUT FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AS TO
WHAT TYPE OF DIRECTION THEY WOULD LIKE THE PARK BOARD, THE
SENIOR CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE
GROUP TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH RESPECT TO
A MORE PERMANENT SENIOR FACILITY. John Dovolis SECONDED THE
MOTION.
Ms. Rydell explained that, when the Senior Center lost their lease on the
high rise and had to find an alternative location, the City Council had limited
options in determining where the Senior Center could be located. She noted
that the Community Center was basically the only available spot at that
time.
Mr. Fee stated that he would recommend that the Park Board give the City
Council the proposal from the Edina Senior Advisory Council and that they
then give us some type of direction as to how we should proceed in
reviewing alternatives. Mr. Dovolis asked Mr. Keprios if he would work with
the senior citizens and see what other communities are doing and what other
facilities are available to seniors in the surrounding communities. Mr. Fee
indicated that he is sure the City Council will tell us to put a task force
together which will have this type of information.
Carl Carlson pointed out to the Park Board how vitally important the seniors
are to the success of the bond issue. He noted that seniors are the voters
who go out and vote and represent a rather high proportion of the voting
population in all communities. He explained that he feels the success or
0
failure of the bond issue depends a great deal on the seniors. Mr. Fee
explained that the Park Board is in favor of helping the seniors, however,
some direction is needed fro_ m the City Council because the Park Board is
strictly an advisory body.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
IV. FORESTRY
Mr. Dovolis indicated he had a question regarding the Forestry Department.
He asked if the City of Edina does anything with injections to save trees.
Mr. Keprios explained that where it's helpful for the prevention or transfer of
Oak Wilt they have tried it. He noted that we have a contract with Kunde
Tree Company and they will either use the vibrating plow or some injection,
it's up to their professional recommendation. Mr. Dovolis stated that he
thinks it's been proved over the years that it does help.
IV. PARK BOND REFERENDA RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Mr. Montgomery asked if there is any organized opposition to the
referendum and Mr. Keprios indicated there is not at this time.
Mr. Fee asked if there were any comments regarding the third hockey rink.
Mr. Crowther indicated that to summarize what he heard at the meetings is
there was almost no comment on it. He noted that a few of the older folks
commented on the hockey portion of the referendum and their questions
where generally probing at why don't these things make enough money to
pay for themselves. He noted that generally people were in favor of it or
didn't express an opinion. However, the bulk of the discussions were
approximately 95% about the specific parks and what each park was going
to get. Mr. Crowther pointed out that there is definitely a desire to have
permanent restrooms as opposed to satellites. Also, everyone is concerned
about parking in the neighborhood parks. Mr. Crowther also noted that
everyone wants a hockey rink and are in favor of paving the hockey rinks so
they have a place for in -line skating.
Mr. Keprios indicated that another common question was how did we get to
where we need to have to borrow money to replace worn infrastructure. Mr.
Crowther explained that at the meetings people first wanted their own
individual desires. However, they then looked at the bigger picture and said
why don't we do a bigger referendum and do it right as opposed to
skimping. They feel it's not going to all get done with the current dollars
that are allocated. Also, there was a real concern about the maintenance
and if we put all of this money in are we going to be sure that we maintain
it. Mr. Crowther noted there were quite a few criticisms at all of the
meetings about the overall maintenance of the parks. He indicated that they
7
had to explain to the people that we don't have the staff and money. He
indicated that it's hard for people to buy into the deal and if they vote for
more money they want to make sure that everything is going to get
maintained. Also, people are concerned about how everything is going to
get prioritized as to what gets done first, second, third etc.
Mr. Fee asked what is the period of time on this. Mr. Keprios replied that he
talked with the City Attorney and was told there is no law on the books that
says you have a limited amount of time if you use "due diligence." In other
words, if you can prove you are making progress and not using it to make
money there is no law that governs that. However, Mr. Keprios noted that
he hopes the job can get done in three years or less.
Mr. Crowther asked if there was any way a senior center could be tied in the
three sheet of ice at Braemar. Mr. Keprios indicated that probably not
because it would be the furthest location from the majority of the senior
population.
Mr. Keprios indicated that he will be showing the slide show the School
District administrative staff on Tuesday, January 9th because they have
asked to see it. He noted that he will also be showing the slide show to the
City Council on Tuesday, December 19th.
Mr. Keprios stated that some of the things that people said at the meetings
were if we don't get our requested additions, we are not voting for it. Mr.
Dovolis noted that the phone calls he received basically indicated that we are
not doing enough. Mr. Crowther explained that Mr. Keprios addressed this
topic at the various meetings and when people asked why is it so bad, he
asked them if they have ever been to a Truth -In- Taxation meeting. "Have
you ever asked the City Council to increase your taxes so that we can
improve the maintenance of our parks ?" He stated that many people just
don't understand the process. People seem to rely on staff to be their
advocates for what is needed in the park system.
Mr. Crowther pointed out that the Park Board could recommend to the City
Council that we increase the amount, however, he doesn't have a clue what
the number should be. However,. there is no question that there is a solid
group of people who would be in favor of doing more as opposed to less.
Ms. Bennett indicated that it might be a mistake to not ask for more because
we won't get a second chance for quite awhile. Mr. Dovolis indicated that
the last one was 40 years ago.
Mr. Crowther noted that out of the 4.9 million we may only get 4.6 million
because all of the expenses have to come out of it. Mr. Keprios indicated
that he just talked to the City Attorney and was told that if they approve the
4.9 million, the City Council has the authority to raise the issue another 2%
91
to pay for the expenses such as sale of the bonds and election costs.
Mr. Montgomery stated that it seems to him that the Park Board feels that
$4.9 million is slight and asked how that might be changed. Mr. Keprios
indicated that his initial recommendation was slightly more than $5.3 million
and the City Council decided long ago that their comfort zone at that time
was $4.9 million. Mr. Fee noted if they change the amount from $4.9
million now that it's been published it may backfire. Mr. Crowther
suggested that possibly the better message would be that we realize that
$4.9 million is light, however, why don't we look at how we are going to up
our ongoing dollars for maintenance so that we can keep everything up to
standard. Mr. Dovolis indicated that money should be set aside a certain
degree for improvements to parks and infrastructure of the parks. Mr. Fee
explained that he has talked with the Mayor about that issue and he will
attend one of the Park Board meetings to explain the City Council's
philosophy on this.
VI. OTHER
A. University of Minnesota Grant - Mr. Keprios indicated that the
University of Minnesota is going to be offering us a $19,000 grant to staff a
person to work toward our turf management plan and further study it. He
noted that person will make recommendations and set up test sites. Mr.
Keprios explained that the grant will be coming in written form within the
next few weeks for the City Council's approval and he will be passing that
on to the Park Board and City Council when he receives it.
B. Athletic Programs - Mr. Montgomery asked if all of the winter athletic
programs are going along okay. It was noted that all is well and that
Centennial Lakes opens for public skating on December 15th and the other
11 outdoor skating sites will be opening on December 16th.
C. Dog Sled Rides - Mr. MacHolda stated that on December 26th at the
Braemar Golf Course driving range there will be dog sled rides from 9:30
a.m. until 12:00 p.m. He indicated there were 80 tickets and it was noted
that there are no more tickets available.
D. Arena Ice Fees - Mr. Crowther thanked Mr. Keprios for sending the
Park Board the information on the ice rates. He noted he was happy to see
Edina is very much right in the ball park and the Park Board shouldn't waste
time worrying about the rates when staff recommends them. He stated that
staff does their homework and we should buy into that. Mr. Keprios
thanked Mr. Crowther for the comment and replied that staff will do a better
job next year in providing the Park Board with surveys pertaining to fees and
charges. In addition, all Park and Recreation Department management staff
will be present during adoption of fees and charges.

Edina Senior Center Advisory Council
PROPOSAL
to the
Edina Park Board
This proposal is presented for the sole purpose of developing a strategy to facilitate the
construction of a multi - purpose building to house the Edina Senior Center.
The Senior Center Advisory Council would like to "piggy back" a request for funds on the
recently approved bond referendum. This referendum asks for funds to be used to refurbish
Edina's park facilities and build a third indoor ice rink.
The Edina Senior Center Advisory Council proposes that funding in the amount of $2.5
million be set aside for the construction of a free - standing Senior Center building.
MISSION OF THE EDINA SENIOR CENTER
The mission of the Senior Center is to provide needed services to all Edina residents 55
years or older, with emphasis on recreational, health, social services, and educational
programs.
The Advisory Council feels that this mission is not being accomplished, primarily because of
the lack of a free - standing building.
On the positive side, we do have accommodations on the third floor of the Edina
Community Center. Our staff works extremely well even with the previously mentioned
limitations. We do have many successful programs:
Performing tap group
Performing singing group
Trips and tours
Card groups
Bowling league
Golf league
Men's softball league
Men's volleyball
Line dancing
Computer interest group
Spelling interest group
Book club
Sports activities are not held at the Senior Center. The above is just a cross - section of the
Center's activities.
At present, we have a membership of 1,498. Figures from the South Hennepin Regional
Planning Agency show that Edina has 9,386 seniors (as of 1989); 16% are members of the
Center. It is reasonable to assume that some of 9,386 senior citizens do not belong for
reasons of their own, but we believe that we have not reached -a larger number of this
population because of the lack of transportation and poor parking arrangements.
REGARDING THE BUILDING
The Advisory Council envisions a two story multi - purpose building constructed with the
potential for expansion. The building would be occupied primarily by the Senior Center.
Evening and weekend hours could be filled by youth activities, adult education, intramural
sports or other activities. Additional tenants could also occupy the building -- possibly the
Park &_ Recreation department or a day care center.
Potential sites for the proposed building are:
1. Land owned by the City of Edina adjacent to the Aquatic Center
2. Land owned by the City of Edina north of the York Avenue YMCA
We are going far afield with ideas, but if we wish to appeal to a large segment of the voters,
the concept would have to be for all users and USERS ARE TAXPAYERS.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Kenneth Rosland, City Manager
FROM: Jerry Gilligan
DATE: December 21, 1994
RE: Designation of National City Bank as Depository of City Funds
At its meeting on January 3, 1995 the City Council will be requested to
designate banks to act as the depositories of City funds for 1995. Councilmember
Elect Maetzold is an officer of National City Bank /Southdale, which is one of the
banks proposed for designation as a depository. The City is presently using National
City Bank as a depository.
Minnesota law contains an exception for the designation of banks as
depository of public funds from the conflict of interest prohibition contained in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.87. This exception is contained in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 471.88, subdivisions 1 and 2, and permits the City to designate a
bank in which a Councilmember is interested as a depository of City funds if the
following conditions are met:
1. The interested Councilmember makes a disclosure that he is a
director or employee of the bank and this disclosure is entered on the
minutes of the Council meeting;
2. The disclosure is made when the bank is first designated as
depository or when the Councilmember is elected, whichever is later;
and
3. The designation of the bank as a depository is approved by
unanimous vote.
As noted above, the designation of the depository is required to be by
unanimous vote. Since the language in the statute requiring a unanimous vote
does not contain the additional phrase "by all members of the council" as is used in
certain other instances in Minnesota law when referencing a vote by the Council
(i.e. two - thirds vote of all members is required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
462.355 for approval of comprehensive plan amendments and is required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.357 to approve a rezoning), I would interpret this
provision to require a unanimous vote by all members voting on the question.
DORSEY & WHITNEY
A PAazHCvmR Iwn.uoum Plarz=Kw -%L AntPn*ATKwm
Therefore, I would recommend that when the question of designation of National
City Bank as a depository is considered Councilmember Maetzold make a statement
at that time disclosing his relationship with National City_ .Bank then abstain from
voting on the question. Because of the special requirements required to be followed
in considering the designation of National City Bank as a depository, the City
Council should consider this designation separately from the designation of other
banks as depositories.

In 1977, the City Council adopted a Special Assessment Deferment Policy pursuant to
State Law. This policy permit homeowners, age 65 or older, to defer special assessments
provided that the homeowner met a two part test:
1. The total household income of the homeowner could not exceed
$15,000.00 per year, and
2. The first year's installment of the special assessment, either alone or
when combined with other special assessments, must exceed 2% of
the total household income.
The period of deferment is indefinite, but according to law terminates:
1. Upon the death of the owner,
2. Upon the sale or transfer of the property,
REPORT /RECOMMENDATION - SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DEFERMENT POLICY
January 2, 1996 .
Page two
3. Upon the loss of the homestead status of the property, or
4. Whenever the City determines that a hardship no longer exists.
We have determined that the deferment policy has not been updated since its inception
in 1977. In particular, the $15,000 income limit has not been increased and therefore, in
relative terms, fewer and fewer individuals are able to qualify for the deferment. After
reviewing the intent of the policy, we believe that a fixed income limit could be eliminated
altogether by virtue of the fact that only assessments exceeding two percent of an
individual's income are eligible for deferment. This "2 %" criteria effectively restricts the
incomes that can qualify for the deferment. The attached deferment policy eliminates the
fixed income requirement and also incorporates other technical modifications to the policy.
We recommend adoption of the updated policy.
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, by Minnesota Statutes, Sections 435.193 through 435.195, the City is authorized

The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of
Bonds made to the public. The' Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond,
representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co. 'as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ( "DTC "),
New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds: 'Individual purchases
of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single
maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its participants.
Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of
the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the
responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by
participants will. be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial
owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the
Bonds with DTC.
REGISTRAR
The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City
will pay for the services of the registrar.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The City may elect on February 1, 2005, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or
after February 1, 2006. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the
City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are
called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be
prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to
be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and
credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge tax
increment revenue collections from tax increment financing districts located in the Southeast
Edina Redevelopment Project Area. The proceeds will be used to refund in advance of maturity
the 1997 through 2009 maturities of both the City's $5,100,000 General Obligation Taxable Tax
Increment Bonds, Series 1988, dated October 1, 1988, and $5,300,000 General Obligation
Taxable Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1989, dated April 1, 1989.
TAXABILITY OF INTEREST
The interest to be paid on the Bonds is includable in gross income of the recipient for United
States and State of Minnesota income tax purposes, and is subject to Minnesota Corporate and
bank excise taxes measured by net income.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be for not less than $11,063,250 and accrued interest on the total principal
amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ( "Deposit ") in
the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $111,750,
payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany each proposal. If a
Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a
bond in the State of Minnesota, and preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to
Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must,
identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the
Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is
required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's
check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central
Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that
time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement.
The City will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at
settlement and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to
comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No proposal can
be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the
City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date
without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 5%100 or
1/8 of 1 %. Rates must be in ascending order. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single
rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional proposals will be
accepted.
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true
interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non - substantive informalities of any proposal or of
matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply
with the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of. municipal bond insurance or commitment
therefor at the option of the underwriter, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the
issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the purchaser of
the Bonds. Any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of
insurance shall be paid by the purchaser, except that, if the City has requested and received a
rating on the Bonds from a rating agency,, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating
agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to-the
purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on
the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the .failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the
purchaser at a place mutually satisfactory to the City and the purchaser. Delivery will be
subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Dorsey & Whitney P.L.L.P.
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of customary closing papers, including a no- litigation certificate.
On the date of settlement payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or equivalent, funds
which shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon,
Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms of payment forthe Bonds shall have been
made impossible by action of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall be liable-to the City for
any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non - compliance with said terms for
payment.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In order to permit the underwriters purchasing the Bonds to comply with paragraph (b)(5) of
Rule 15c2 -12, in the Resolution authorizing and ordering issuance of the Bonds the City will
covenant and agree for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Bonds, to comply with
Rule 15c2 -12, paragraph (b)(5). A description of the City's undertaking is set forth in the Official

prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated,

underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no
more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 400 copies of

the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded as its agent
for purposes of distributing copies of the -Final Official Statement to each Participating
Underwriter. Any underwriter delivering a proposal with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby
that if its proposal is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall

of assuring the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.

GENERAL COMMENTS
This refunding is structured as a "full net advance" refunding. The proceeds of this issue will be
placed in an escrow account with a major bank and invested in government securities. These
securities and their earnings are structured to pay debt service on the 1988 and 1989 Bonds
through the call date of the 1988 and 1989 Bonds (February 1, 1998), at which time the escrow
account will call in and pay the remaining outstanding principal on the 1988 and 1989 Bonds.
Beginning with the August 1, 1996 interest payment, the City will begin making debt service
payments on this issue, taking advantage of the lower interest rates.
Attached is an analytical summary of the refunding. Schedule A shows the combined debt
service of the 1988 and 1989 Bonds, as it exists now. On the call date of February 1, 1998 all
of the 1988 and 1989 Bonds maturing in 1999 through 2009, totaling $9,875,000, will be called
in for redemption. The escrow account will pay all of the remaining debt service on the 1988
and 1989 Bonds.
Schedule B shows the estimated debt service for the new refunding bonds. The City will begin
to pay debt service on these bonds beginning on August 1, 1996. Schedule C is the total
estimated debt service for this issue, the outstanding debt for the 1988 and 1989 Bonds and the
estimated net savings (Column 6).
This is the City's first issue subject to the new continuing disclosure requirements. These new
SEC rules will require the City to undertake an annual update of its Official Statement
information and report any material events to the national repositories. Springsted Incorporated
provides continuing disclosure services under a separate contract, a copy of which has been
provided to your staff.

Page 7
taken by the successful bidder will be increased or reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage
by which the principal amount of the Bonds is increased or reduced.
BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM
The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of
Bonds made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond,
representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ( "DTC "),
New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds. Individual purchases
of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single
maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its participants.
Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of
the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the
responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by
participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial
owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the
Bonds with DTC.
REGISTRAR
The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City
will pay for the services of the registrar.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The City may elect on February 1, 2005, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or
after February 1, 2006. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the
City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are
called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be
prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to
be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and
credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge tax
increment revenue collections from tax increment financing districts located in the Southeast
Edina Redevelopment Project Area. The proceeds will be used to refund in advance of maturity
the 1997 through 2009 maturities of both the City's $5,100,000 General Obligation Taxable Tax
Increment Bonds, Series 1988, .dated October 1,: 1988, and $5,300,000 General Obligation
Taxable Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1989, dated April 1, 1989.
TAXABILITY OF INTEREST
The interest to be paid on the Bonds is includable in gross income of the recipient for United
States and State of Minnesota income tax purposes, and is subject to Minnesota Corporate and
bank excise taxes measured by net income.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be for not less than $11,063,250 and accrued interest on the total principal
amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ( "Deposit ") in
the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $111,750,
payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany each proposal If a
Page 8
Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a
bond in the State of Minnesota, and preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to
Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must
identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the
Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is
required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's
check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central
Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that
time, the Financial Surety_ Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement.
The City will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at
settlement and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to
comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No proposal can
be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the
City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date
without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 5/100 or
1/8 of 1 %. Rates must be in ascending order. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single
rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional proposals will be
accepted.
AWARD
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true
interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non - substantive informalities of any proposal or of
matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply
with the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment
therefor at the option of the underwriter, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the
issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the purchaser of
the Bonds. Any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of
insurance shall be paid by the purchaser, except that, if the City has requested and received a
rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating
agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the
purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on
the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The.CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the
purchaser at a place mutually satisfactory -to the City and the purchaser. Delivery will be
Page 9
subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Dorsey & Whitney P.L.L.P.
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of customary closing papers, including a no- litigation certificate.
On the date of settlement payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or equivalent, funds
which shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon,
Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds shall have been
made impossible by action of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall be liable to the City for
any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non - compliance with said terms for
payment.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In order to permit the underwriters purchasing the Bonds to comply with paragraph (b)(5) of
Rule 15c2 -12, in the Resolution authorizing and ordering issuance of the Bonds the City will
covenant and agree for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Bonds, to comply with
Rule 15c2 -12, paragraph (b)(5). A description of the City's undertaking is set forth in the Official
Statement.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent
information relative to the Bonds, and said. Official Statement will serve as a nearly -final Official
Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For copies of the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any
prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated,
85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone (612) 223 -3000.
The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the
maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other
information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the City with respect
to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 15c2 -12. By awarding the Bonds to any
underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no
more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 400 copies of
the Official Statement and the addendum or addenda described above. The City designates
the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded as its agent
for purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each Participating
Underwriter. Any underwriter delivering a proposal with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby
that if its proposal is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall
enter into a contractual relationship with all Participating Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes
of assuring the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.
