According to State Statute 412.731 this resolution requires a four -fifths vote of all the members of the Council to pass. Information / Background: Staff and Council spent much of 2013 preparing the 2014 -2015 City Budgets. The 2014 Budget was officially adopted when Council adopted Resolution No. 2013 -135 on December 17, 2013. The 2014 Budget originally planned for $1,800,100 of transfers of cash profits out of the Liquor Fund and into other City funds. The total amount of planned transfers was based on the Liquor Fund earning approximately the same amount of operating income during 2014. Although 2014 numbers are preliminary and our auditing firm is still in the middle of their review, it is evident that the Liquor Fund operating income will be less than originally planned. Staff is currently estimating annual revenues at about 96% of budget (4% under) and operating expenses at about 101% of budget (1% over). The attached resolution would cancel a budgeted transfer from the Liquor Fund to the General Fund in the amount of $765,100 and maintain the financial reserves of both the Liquor Fund and the General Fund. The attached resolution will not affect the remaining transfers of operating income from the Liquor Fund to other City funds, which will be as follows: Budgeted cash transfers fr Construction Fund Golf Fund Arena Fund Art Center Fund )m the Liquor Fund to other funds after adoption of Resolution 2015 -12. $150,000 $485,000 $200,000 $200,000 $1.035 000 Attachments: Resolution 2015 -12 Amending the 2014 budget.

The Recommended Bid is From: Patty McGrath © Within Budget Edinborough Park/Aquatic Center General Manager ❑ Not Within Budget Date: March 17, 2015 Subject: Request for Purchase — 50 Meter Pool Painting, Edina Aquatic Center Date Bid Opened or Quote Received: Bid or Expiration Date: 11/4/2014 5/31 /2015 Company: Amount of Quote or Bid: Horizon Commercial Pool Supply $39,740.00 Ball Custom Painting, LLC $42,000.00 Recommended Quote or Bid: Horizon Commercial Pool Supply General Information: This request for purchase is for the painting of the 50 meter pool at the Edina Aquatic Center. The last time the pool was painted was in 2010. The painting process includes acid etching and pressure washing the surface, two coats of epoxy pool paint with silica sand on stairs and walking areas, required demarcation lines, lap lanes and targets. With well over 150,000 guests using the pool each summer, the life expectancy of the paint is approximately five years. In October 2014 significant work was done to replace and repair failed joint caulking throughout the entire pool. This work was purposely done in the fall, so the pool would be prepped and ready to be painted prior to the opening of the 2015 season. In addition to season pass holders, daily admissions and group visitors, the 50 meter pool is heavily used by the Aquajets and the Edina Swim Club for their practice sessions. The lane lines and targets are essential components for the swim clubs and recreational lap swimmers. Horizon Commercial Pool Supply completed the same work on the zero -depth pool at the Edina Aquatic Center in 2014. The specialized work was completed in a timely and professional manner. Staff recommends awarding the contract to Horizon Commercial Pool Supply.

The project involves localized rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer, upgrades to the storm sewer and watermain systems, spot repair of concrete curb and gutter, construction of new concrete sidewalks, and complete reconstruction of bituminous pavement surfaces. This project will be funded by special assessments, respective utility funds and the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) fund. Based on the bid results, we are anticipating the special assessment to be reduced by approximately 21.5% to $9,212 versus the $11,732 that was discussed at the public hearing. The City utility funded costs are expected to increase by approximately 3% over the estimates presented at the public hearing. This increase is due to more extensive sanitary sewer repairs than was originally anticipated. Sidewalks will be funded by the PACS fund and are substantially higher due primarily to the addition of the Benton Avenue sidewalk which was added to the project during the public hearing. The final project costs are subject to change based on construction related items such as soil corrections and turf restoration. The final special assessments will be determined prior to the final assessment hearing in 2016.

Recommended Quote or Bid: WSB, Inc. General Information: Bid or Expiration Date: N/A Amount of Quote or Bid: $39,500.00 $39,500.00 Tracy Avenue from Benton Avenue to approximately Highway 62 is scheduled for reconstruction in 2016. Please recall Tracy Avenue from Vernon to Benton Avenues was reconstructed in 2012. WSB was the consultant that completed the previous section of Tracy Avenue so they will be able to utilize previous knowledge with this segment. This segment of Tracy Avenue is designated as a Municipal State Aid Roadway (MSA). The project involves the reconstruction of approximately 3,300 linear feet of road, utility improvements as determined after evaluation, and installation /improvement of pedestrian facilities such as sidewalks and bike lanes. The project will be funded by a combination of MSA funds, special assessments, PACS and utility funds. By using MSA funds, the project must meet MSA design standards or it must receive approval by variance if necessary. It is anticipated that the existing curves will not meet MSA standards. Staff will investigate alternatives that may or may not need variances. The topographic survey for this project has already been completed by City staff. As preliminary work is completed, we may need to supplement that information in specific areas. Stakeholder input will be conducted with the residents adjacent to the roadway. This will include mailed questionnaires and stakeholder input meetings. The fee for this portion of the project is $39,500. This project is listed in the 2015 -2019 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) under CIP # 15 -125 which appropriated $2,270,000 for design and construction.

(WSB) is pleased to submit the attached proposal for the Preliminary Design Engineering Services for improvements on Tracy Avenue (Phase 2) from TH 62 to Benton Avenue. Our proposal includes a scope of services with estimated cost to complete those services and an anticipated schedule. This project takes off from where Phase 1 of the project left off at Benton Avenue. The existing roadway is a concrete roadway with curb and gutter. The section includes two curves that do not appear to meet State Aid standards. Since the roadway is on the State Aid system and the City wishes to utilize State Aid funds for the project, it is anticipated that variances may need to be requested for meeting a lower design speed. WSB will evaluate alternatives. Roadway improvements will include reconstructing the roadway, replacement of the existing concrete pavement with bituminous pavement, potential installation of bike lanes in both directions, potential sidewalk replacement and drainage improvements. Utility systems, including sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm sewer will need to be evaluated to determine rehabilitation or repair methods needed. Our project team will be led by Mr. Andrew Plowman, P.E. He will serve as project manager and coordinate all activities with the City. Andrew has been involved in numerous projects for the City of Edina since 2011 and is well- versed in all City standards and expectations. Andrew's experience with residents in the Countryside neighborhood should prove to be a valuable asset. WSB welcomes this opportunity to continue to work with the City of Edina. WSB commits itself to deliver the City of Edina a quality of services that is consistent with your expectations and WSB's reputation.

Sincerely, WSB c& ASSOCIATES, INC. Andrew Plowman, PE Associate/Project Manager Attachments Tracy Avenue Phase 2 Improvements TH 62 Ramps to Benton Avenue Preliminary Design Engineering Services SCOPE OF WORK Task 1 — Project Management This task includes planning and coordination of all work tasks, establishing and monitoring of budgets, communication with City Staff, and periodic meetings with staff on the project status. Task 2 — Data Collection / Base Mapping The City has already collected most of the survey base mapping for the corridor, and provided that information to WSB. WSB will compile all the data and request additional topographic survey from the City. WSB will complete the final base mapping from the survey provided by the City. WSB will complete a Gopher State One call to identify the private utilities in the corridor, and put the location of the private utilities in the base map which will be established on the maps provided by the private utility companies. The City will televise the existing sanitary sewer and investigate potential breaks in the existing water main system, and provide that data to WSB to determine if full replacement or other rehabilitation activities shall be the solution. Task 3 - Public Involvement/Meetings We understand the importance and the City's methods of involving the public and will assist City staff with the preparation of meeting notices, questionnaires /surveys, and power point presentations, as well as assistance with conducting presentations for various public meetings. The following meetings are assumed: • Open House/Neighborhood Meetings (2) • Edina Transportation Commission Meeting (1) • Public Hearing (1) • City Council Meeting (1) • Miscellaneous Meetings (2) Task 4 - Preliminary Engineering Services Tracy Avenue is a State Aid Street, and as such the design will be required to meet State Aid standards in order to be eligible for state aid funding (unless a variance is granted). Two existing curves (Near Arbour Lane and Ridgeway Road) throughout this corridor do not appear to meet State Aid standards. WSB will analyze alternatives or suggest application for a State Aid variance. WSB will lead coordination with State Aid personnel to determine the feasibility of a variance being granted. Proposal — Tracy Avenue Phase 2 — Engineering Services Page 1 Preliminary Engineering City Of Edina The importance of pedestrian accommodations to residents and the fact that Tracy Avenue is a primary bike route are two factors that will be factored into the proposed design of the roadway typical section. WSB was the design team for Phase 1 of the Tracy Avenue Improvement Project in 2012 -2013, and are aware of the residents' concerns at that time. WSB will lead an effort to listen to residents' concerns while still maintaining the vision of the City of Edina as indicated in the Comprehensive Plan. The existing pavement along Tracy Avenue is concrete and is in poor condition. It is assumed the roadway section will be replaced with bituminous pavement. WSB will review the Braun Intertec geotechnical report, and use the knowledge encountered in Phase 1 to recommend a pavement section. In addition to the items listed above, WSB will also perform the following tasks: • Field evaluation of pavement, curb, and sidewalk conditions with City staff • Field drainage evaluation • Preliminary roadway typical section for each alternative • Preliminary roadway alignment, profile, and cross sections • Identify sanitary sewer and watermain improvements /coordinate with City Staff • Preliminary storm drainage design in accordance with State Aid and Nine Mile Creek Watershed District requirements • Evaluate on- street bicycle guidelines based on City of Edina's Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan and State Aid guidelines • Meetings with City staff to review preliminary design findings • Identify permitting requirements of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District for storm water treatment and rate control • Coordination with MnDOT State Aid regarding possible variance and alternatives • Pavement design based on soil borings and geotechnical report provided by City -hired geotechnical firm. • Preliminary project cost estimates for each alternative Task 5 — Preliminary Engineering Report A preliminary engineering report will be prepared based on the preliminary design of the proposed improvements. The report will include discussion of the existing and proposed conditions for the street and utility work shall include the following items: • Project location maps and typical sections • Project photos • Alternatives Analysis • Preliminary cost estimates • Identify funding sources • Preliminary assessment roll and map based on City's current assessment policy • Project schedule • Summary of resident feedback from informational meeting and survey results Proposal — Tracy Avenue Phase 2 — Engineering Services Page 2 Preliminary Engineering City Of Edina • Proposed/Recommended Improvements Task 6 — Agency / Utility Coordination Up to four (4) coordination meetings will held with impacted agencies, utilities and property owners along the corridor during preliminary design. These will include, but are not limited to: • MnDOT State Aid • Nine Mile Creek Watershed District • Property Owners • Private Utilities ESTIMATED COST The table below shows WSB's estimate of the cost for the preparation of the Preliminary Design. The estimated cost is $39,500. This includes WSB's labor at our standard hourly billing rates. WSB will bill the City for the actual hours worked up to the maximum of $39,500.

Traffic Safety Report of February 4, 2015.docx City of Edina ° 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Traffic Safety Preview Wednesday, February 4, 2015 The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on January 07. The City Engineer, Public Works Director, Transportation Planner, Traffic Safety Coordinator, Sign Coordinator, Assistant City Planner, and Police Lieutenant were in attendance for this meeting. From these reviews, the recommendations below are provided. On each of the items, persons involved have been contacted and staff recommendation has been discussed with them. They were informed that if they disagree with the recommendation or have additional facts to present, they can be included on the February 19 Edina Transportation Commission and the March 17 City Council agenda. Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends approval Al. Request for further signalization of the 49th % Street crosswalks This request comes from the business „ y association at 50th and France, noting the ineffectiveness of the signed only crosswalks along 49Th % St. On 49th %2 St. there were 4.5 ,r s gaps per five minutes for the central crosswalk, 4.9 gaps per five minutes on the east crosswalk, . and 4.2 gaps per five minutes on the west crosswalk during the AM peak 1 -hour segment,' "w the east crosswalk was analyzed for gaps in the Photo : 50` and France area, current crosswalk on 49` 1/2 afternoon and had an average of 2.8 gaps per five minute interval during the PM peak. All of these meet warrants for improvement to actuated pedestrian signals. Research has shown that continuous flashers do not increase long term pedestrian safety, as drivers grow accustomed to their presence. Pedestrian actuated flashers have higher rates of yielding as they are not flashing except when drivers are expected to yield. The city's crosswalk policy is located in Appendix B. After review, the Traffic Safety Committee recommends that this request be approved and Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons with pedestrian actuation (push- buttons) to be installed. These installations will take place as funding permits. A2. Request for enforcement of No- Parking Zones near the Creek Valley School at pick up times This request comes from a resident who has concerns about parents who are picking up their children at Creek Valley Elementary, the requester says that these parents stand their vehicles south TT 0. Page 1 of 10 on Gleason, beyond the intersection with Creek Valley Rd. and on Creek Valley Rd. A site investigation was conducted and Gleason, south of Creek Valley is signed for no parking. Creek Valley Rd. has no parking restrictions, and there were cars parking on both sides of the street to either queue to pick up their children in their vehicles, or walk their children across the school yard to a waiting vehicle. Gleason was also seen as a major queuing place for vehicles, with queues reaching 8 cars south of the intersection with Creek Valley Rd. The Minnesota State Statute for parking laws is provided in Appendix A. p Photo: Gleason Rd. illegal parking, looking south from Creek Valley After review, staff recommends that this item be approved, with parents being informed of this action's illegality by flyers handed to them at school pick up times. Enforcement will also be used after educational materials have been distributed. A3. Request for a redesign of the Eden Ave at Grange and Wilson Roads This request comes from a resident who notes that the intersection is very chaotic, that the centerlines of opposing streets do not align, and that there are no pedestrian amenities. The demand for pedestrian facilities will be reviewed in the spring, but the current design has been the subject of some focus by the engineering department, and thus a small redesign of the intersection was done. A free -right "Pork - chop" island is recommended to be added to the southern approach, this will reduce crossing distances for pedestrians, shrink the intersection, and allow the southern stop sign to be moved much closer to the conflict points of the intersection, increasing visibility. This intersection has been the site of 3 rrachac cinra )nl n Drawing : The proposed curblines in the Southeast corner are shown in blue, black is existing. Ma : Eden Ave and Wilson /Grange Rd. The proximity of the intersection to freeway access, the skew of intersection, and its location in a high traffic area all contribute to its chaotic nature. After review, staff recommends that this request be approved, with further study being done to ensure turning movements are possible at this intersection to finalize design. Crosswalks at this intersection will be studied in the spring. The intersection will then be added to the queue of projects that the city is considering when funding is available. A4. Signage of Curves on Gleason Road, from Dewey Hill Road north This request comes from staff, as an extension of a previous request by a resident who was concerned about the number of people losing control of their vehicles on Gleason Rd. The Traffic Safety Committee asked for all sections of Gleason, under the city's jurisdiction, be reviewed for proper design speeds. In appendix C, the design speed of the curves (rounded down to the nearest 5 mph) is indicated, occasionally in two directions when the design speeds of the inside and outside curves were seen to be different. Super - elevations (banking of the curves) were assumed to be a normal 2% crown throughout. After review, the number of curves with design speeds below 30 miles per hour was too great to place a sign at each curve. Thus staff recommends placing the maximum safe speed below existing curved road ahead signs, assigning a maximum safe speed at the beginning of road segments on Gleason. Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends denial 131. Request for school zone speed limit enforcement and clarification of "when children are present." This request was submitted on behalf of Cornelia Avenue residents who are concerned that motorists do not obey the reduced school zone speed limit on Cornelia Avenue. The posted school zone speed limit on this section of Cornelia Avenue is 15 mph. The speed limit is 30 mph at other times. The reduced speed limit is in effect "when children are present, going to or leaving school during opening or closing hours or during school recess periods" (Minnesota Statutes, section 169.14, subdivision 5a(a)). The reduced speed limit is signed as shown in the photo to the right. The request asked for "signs posting the school speed zone times or something else to make clear what 'when children are present' means." Some municipalities around the country take various approaches to clarifying this issue (e.g. posting times on a placard, installing flashing lights, etc.) while others choose to post signs similar to Edina with no additional measures. Photo : Sign on Cornelia Mop: Cornelia School Page 3 of 10 Speed data for this section of Cornelia Avenue was reviewed. Data showed 85th- percentile speeds below 30 mph on weekdays. Speed data specific to the times when the school speed zone was in effect (and when children were present) were not able to be aggregated in a conclusive manner. The Edina Police Department provided a record of speeding citations issued on streets adjacent to Cornelia School during the summer and fall of 2014. The record showed 58 citations issued for speeding on W. 70th; however, it is unknown whether any of the citations were for speeding when the school zone speed limit was in effect. The record showed no citations issued for speeding on this section of Cornelia Avenue. The Police conducted a sting operation around school zones in October. After review, the Traffic Safety Committee recommends denial of the request to clarify when school zone speed limits are in effect, whether by posting supplementary placards listing school speed zone times or some other measure. The request for enforcement of the school zone speed limit has been referred to the Edina Police Department. B2. Request for decreased delay for left turns, onto and crossing 501h Street at Arden Avenue This request comes from a resident in the M I +• , s, Country Club neighborhood, who notes that "T YON 5a .. �•,.., I`4- -= exiting the neighborhood on 50th is very difficult especially at high traffic times, and who does not wish to use Wooddale to turn' =_ left onto 50th. A video study was performed, s 4 and the area has very few gaps from the 501h77 and France Area, and many of these are Map : Arden Ave and 50 St. is circled. 50 and France removed from right turns from Maple and 49th area can be seen on the right of the map St. Typical numbers for gaps in the weekend rush hours, when the queue of vehicles on 501h does not reach the intersection of Maple and 50th, was 4.5 gaps acceptable to left turns in 10 minutes, and when accounting for those gaps used by right turns, the gaps were reduced to 3 every ten minutes. In the morning, there were more gaps, averaging 6.7 gaps per ten minutes acceptable for left turns at Maple, with right turns reducing the amount of gaps available to left turns to 5.3 gaps per ten minutes. The requestor also noted that the lack of gaps made crossing the street more difficult, but the pedestrian gaps were not investigated as the lack of gaps for motor vehicles signaled that there would be few acceptable pedestrian gaps. After review, staff recommends denial of this request, as there was not enough traffic on Arden to warrant control of 50th, and a lack of available options to decrease traffic on 50th being available to staff. Section D: Other Traffic Safety Items handled D1. A resident noted that on 701h Street at York, old lane assignments were still present and conflicted with more recent signage. Sign shop staff removed the signage. Page 4 of 10 D2. A visitor called on a Friday afternoon asking how traffic would be on Saturday on TH 100 due to MnDOT construction. Using the internet to find the TH 100 project, the Traffic Safety Coordinator told the requestor that there were no planned construction activities and therefore less delay was expected than previously had been experienced when lanes had been closed for the project. D3. A resident emailed that roads were in poor condition, and that the intersection of Parklawn and France had a signal that was mistimed. The traffic signal request was forwarded to Hennepin County, while the street maintenance request was sent to the Public Works department. D4. A requestor noted that with the free right "Pork- Chop" islands on France now removed, the crossing distances were further for pedestrians at some intersections; however the pedestrian clearance interval had not been lengthened. These reports were forwarded to Hennepin County. DS. A manager of a senior facility requested that northbound York at 76th have a restricted right turn on red to allow for more gaps for left turn exits from the facility's parking. This requestor was given contact information for Hennepin County. Page 5 of 10 Appendix A: State Parking Laws 169.34 PROHIBITIONS; STOPPING, PARKING. Subdivision 1.Prohibitions.

COMMUNITY COMMENT - None. REPORTS /RECOMMENDATIONS Traffic Safety Committee Report of February 4, 2015 Al. For clarification, member Janovy said she was the requestor and her request was to get the meaning of "when children -ire present" and for enforcement because she heard complaints from residents in the area. She believes this is a denial because she has not been told the meaning of "when children are present." She suggested moving it to section B and revise for clarity. A3. Member Janovy said she is not in disagreement with this but recalled when the same issue was raised a few years ago, she was given a different answer. Planner Nolan said the police said drivers are not allowed to park but they would prefer to handle it through the school instead of by citations and they have already reached out to the principal. A4. Member Janovy said she was not comfortable approving this so far in advance of the study because they don't know what the solution might be. Chair Bass said this would be an immediate safety improvement to a small area that would not be expensive to improve now or in the future. B1. Member Janovy said a different standard is used on B1 than in A2. She said 'delay' is a better measure than 'gap.' Motion was made by member Janovy and seconded by member Olson to forward the revised Feb. 4, 2015, report to the City Council All voted aye. Motion carried. Updates Student Members — None.

We currently have performance contracts with the supplier of each of our 16 backup generators. The cost of having an outside company load test all of our generators range from $300.00 to $800.00 each with the total cost of around $25,000 per year. By purchasing the load bank tester and performing the task of load testing the generator ourselves, the City of Edina would recoup the investment of a load bank tester in less the two years and we fully expect that the load bank tester would last 20 years and would save the City of Edina over $400,000 over that 20 years. This was included in the 2015 -2019 CIP and $50,000 was anticipated to be funded (78 %) from the utility fund and (22 %) from the Construction fund. The cost split was based on the location, function and number of generators. To: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL From: Tom M.

A. Action ❑ Discussion ❑ Information Action Requested: Receive report on February 2015 "Speak Up, Edina" discussion about drive thrus. Information / Background: Since June 2012, the City of Edina has used the online engagement website, www.SpeakUpEdina.org, to collect ideas and opinions from residents. One of the City Council's six strategic priorities for 2014 -2015 is Communication and Engagement: "To clearly understand community needs, expectations and opinions, the City will consistently seek the input of a broad range of stakeholders in meaningful and interactive communication." A goal of that is to host a monthly discussion on www.SpeakUpEdina.org. In February 2015, the discussion topic centered on Edina's drive thrus. In this discussion, the City posed the following questions: • Should the City consider prohibiting new drive- thrus? What are your general opinions of drive - thrus? • What types of businesses work best with a drive -thru? • Cars can often idle in a drive -thru line for several minutes. Do you have any environmental or health concerns over idling cars? The discussion was open for comments between Feb. 2 and March 5, 2015. During that time, 31 comments were made. Additionally, 760 users visited the site 1,039 times, garnering 3,982 page views. Note, during this same period, a discussion on the Redevelopment of the Former Public Works Site, Vision Edina and the Wooddale /Valley View Small Area Plan was also active.

One cannot really nnagine a new bank being put ut without a drive through it would be too much of a competitive advantage, and certainly would be likely to provoke law shits suggesting a pattern of favoritism toward "g andfalhered in " businesses, which I don't think the city would want to deal with. i Support comment... Reply to Joel Stegner I [z Scam Il.rcford Mary 22 days ago Drive throughs have a lot of costs to the conununity -- low -value land use from extra park ing/driving aisle space, aesthetic concerns, additional access points to public streets, and pollution fi•om idling cars. I think they should be prohibited, except when there's a really compelling case for their inclusion. That said, this seerns like a relatively low -level problem, when Eduia still allows major projects to go in separated fiom the street by parking (like the Westin hotel or the Wickes fiuniture redevelopment). Although idling is only an issue fi•om a drive - through, parked cars right against the sidewalk are just as much an eyesore and as low -value a land use as (slowly) moving cars through a drive- through. 1 Support comment... l Reply to Sean Hayford Oleary StacySoln 22 days ago We live in a city that is very cold for more than half the year.

Now, I ofien lave a dog with me in the car and I would prefer not to leave him in the car on very hot or very cold days.

Obviously that concentrates pollution, particularly if the drive through is covered. ht tem>,s of pollution, the experts would have to tell me whether turning off and restarting the car might in some cases be equally polluting. Abo, without the drive through, if one person stays in a car that is left running while the other person goes b, the car actually might be in the idle position for longer. Every business could have an cL-ctric sign showing the waiting tone for the drive through (estimated - just like tine waiting tine for a table at a restaurant) and with that information, some people would 1) turn off their cars and wait or 2) park their cars and go in, to reduce their expected waiting tine. Both would reduce congestion/pollution. In other words, business owners have some responsibility to share estimated waiting tine with their customers. 2 Supports comment... -- – / Reply to Joel Stegner l SFr K Tim tutchens 22 days ago Turning offand restarting a car will cause greater pollution due to the engine flooding with gas at start and oil, it is also harder on the car and in the long replacing cars is more taxing on the planet than idling (but that is outsourced outside of Edina so I am guessing the readers are not worried about that), why not mandate clean cats/EV's city wide and quit worrying about such unimportant issues?

I Support comment... Reply to Dianne Latham_1 Paul .1 uld at February 27, 2015 at 7:39am CST While pollution is certainly created while idling L1 a drive thru, the overall effect has to be minimal compared to other times cars are idling. For example, the acedless waiting at WI turn lanes when Illele is no unwiring traffic. Edina and the whohy nx;tro area are way behind other parts oftlic upper in dwest it failing to convert most of these green arrow only hates to plain green, or blinking yellow arrows. Another is roundabouts. W isconsnl is way ahead of Minnesota in this area. Although rowxlabouts can take some getting used to, they cut down waiti ngldling and serious accidents. They also save electricity and maintenance costs. Another way to decrease idling is to intprove traffic flow, ollen by better tinning of traffic lights. Have you ever beveled north on France Ave through 50th St in evening rush hour? It's usually way backed up with traffic. Seems as if Edina could do a much better job of improving the traffic lights in the 50th and France area to quicken this flow of n-affnc. Other major areas are France and York Aves near Southdale. At one time the lights on France seemed to be timed fairly well so one could travel many blocks without stopping. These days, perhaps clue to the increasing businesses, condos and apartments, there is more traffic: on these major thoroughfares so drivers are stopping and nvaiting at many more traffic lights, often unnecessarily. I don't believe the city and county have kept up with the analysis of traffic counts in this area to keep lights tinned appropriately. 1 Support comment...

COPYRIGHT © HENNEPIN COUNTY 2015 A TWhk'OreeW.. BLAKE WOODS SUBDIVISION Edina, MN APPLICATION FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT January 23, 2014 • • L A N D From Site to Finish F O R M 0 • [AMEKE INTRODUCTION On behalf of Frank Berman, Landform is pleased to submit this preliminary plat application to create seven residential lots from four existing lots at Blake Road and Evanswood Lane. We are excited about this environmentally sensitive design and anticipate that it will be a great addtion to the neighborhood. PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL Frank Berman is requesting approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide four lots (PID #30- 11- 72 -144- 0053, #3011721440052, #30 -11 -72 -144 -0008, #30 -11 -72 -144 -0009) to create seven lots. Mr. Berman plans to sell the lots for future construction of single - family detached residential dwelling units. There were three homes on these four parcels. One home was removed and two homes — including Mr. Berman's home — remain. The proposed subdivision is located in the R -1 Zoning District and is guided low- density residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The design team has worked to ensure that plans are consistent with City's zoning standards. The proposed subdivision will help the city achieve its goals of supporting redevelopment opportunities that complement the neighborhood and optimize use of the City's infrastructure. Lot standards: Section 36 -438 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes a minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet in the R -1 District, but requires that the minimum lot area be calculated by averaging the median lot area, lot width and lot depth of the lots in the surrounding neighborhood. The average median parcel area for surrounding lots is 21,842 sq. ft., the average median lot width is 120.8 ft and the average median lot depth is 166.4 ft. Lot standards for the proposed subdivision comply with the lot standards as defined in Chapter 36 and referenced in Section 32 -73. Transportation: We are proposing a 24 foot road in a 40 foot wide right -of -way that will provide access to the proposed lots, connect with existing infrastructure, and minimize tree loss. This new road will replace the two existing curb cuts (one for the existing home and one for the driveway easement for the home that vyas SN removed). It is anticipated that the additional seven lots will generate minimal traffic on surroundingoads. �,��`a The subdivision application requires that a traffic analysis be performed. We request that the std',, be initiated to fulfill this requirement. Y; ZZZ14317 L A N D F 0 R M January 23, 2015 Project Narrative 2 Tree preservation: The landowners plan to remain in their home, so preserving trees is a priority for them. The proposed lots have been designed to maximize the preservation of trees on the site. The tree survey shows that 82.6% of trees have been saved. The proposed street was aligned along the north edge of proposed Lots 1 -5, where the fewest number of trees would be removed. This is the location of the existing driveway easement that served the previous home on the site. Building area and driveway placement are sited to meet setback standards and to remove the fewest number of trees. Trees coverage will remain largely intact along the southern edge of proposed Lots 1 -5. Stormwater management: Stormwater management is a critical part of the proposed design. In order to preserve as many trees as possible, stormwater will be managed using rain gardens on each lot. Each lot will provide easement access to the rain garden and homeowners will be required to maintain the rain gardens using appropriate plantings and best management strategies. SUMMARY We respectfully request approval of a preliminary plat application for the creation of seven lots and associated infrastructure at Blake Road and Evanswood Lane in Edina, MN. We look forward to receiving feedback on the proposed design from the neighborhood on February 3, 2015 and presenting plans to both the Planning Commission on February 25, 2015 and to the City Council on March 17, 2015.

No Information / Background: The business (debtor) located at 7075/7079 Amundson Avenue filed for Chapter I I Bankruptcy on January 9, 2015. The debtor consumes a very large amount of City water, with a quarterly bill that averages over $30,000. The City has continued to deliver water to the debtor while the bankruptcy case is ongoing, but the City has a legal right to request assurances that the debtor can pay for that continuing water use. The City requested assurance of payment in the form of a deposit equal to the average of the past six quarterly bills ($32,721). To date the City has not received the requested deposit as assurance of the debtor's ability to pay. There have been ongoing negotiations between City staff, the debtor, and attorneys for both sides regarding assurances of payment other than the deposit the City originally requested. City staff believe we may have found a payment arrangement that is acceptable to the debtor while also providing the City with adequate assurances of payment. The attached Stipulation for Adequate Assurance of Payment contains a detail schedule for payment amounts and dates. The payment schedule approximates the historical water usage of the debtor so that the City is receiving cash payments for water as it runs through the meter rather than 120 days after use, as normally happens when a meter is read at the end of the quarter. If the debtor misses a scheduled payment, City staff would be able to shut the water off seven days later, instead of the normal 30 -60 days that our City Code requires for the termination process. The debtor waives the right to future hearings such as this one prior to shutoff. This provision limits the City's exposure to potential financial losses due to nonpayment. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Page 2 The debtor also filed a motion in US Bankruptcy Court regarding the City's requested assurances and proposed disconnect of water service to the debtor that is scheduled for a hearing on Wednesday, March 18, 2015. If the City Council approves the proposed Stipulation for Adequate Assurance of Payment we will also be asking the bankruptcy judge to approve the same Stipulation on Wednesday. Attachment: Proposed Stipulation for Adequate Assurance of Payment UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA In re: Case No. 15 -40067 Chapter 11 Waldorf Nevens Cleaners, Inc., Debtor. Stipulation for Adequate Assurance of Payment This Stipulation for Adequate Assurance of Payment is entered into this day of March, 2015 between the City of Edina ( "City ") and Waldorf Nevens Cleaners, Inc. ( "Debtor "). The parties stipulate and agree as follows: 1. Debtor filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition with the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota on January 9, 2015 ( "Filing Date ") 2. The City made a request for a deposit pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §366 by letter dated February 3, 2015. The City did not receive adequate assurance of payment from the Debtor that was satisfactory to the City. 3. The City issued a Disconnect Notice to the Debtor on February 18, 2015, which the Debtor has appealed. 4. The Debtor filed a Motion Respecting Security Deposits on February 27, 2015 (Docket No. 34) which matter is set for hearing on March 18, 2015. The Debtor and the City have reached an agreement regarding the proposed Disconnect of water service to the Debtor and the Motion filed by the Debtor regarding Security Deposits. 180704v2 5. The parties agree that the City has issued a quarterly billing for the period from November 6, 2014 through January 30, 2015, less the amount subject to the Debtor's bankruptcy petition, in the amount of $6,533.33. The parties agree that this billing has been paid by Debtor. 6. The parties agree that the City will not be required, in the event of a payment default, as described herein, to implement the Disconnect Notice procedures provided for in the Edina City Code. By signing this Stipulation, the parties agree that that procedure has been accomplished or waived by the parties. 7. The parties agree that in the event of a payment default, the City will give notice of default to the Debtor, with a copy to counsel for the Debtor. The Debtor will then have seven (7) days to cure the default. In the event the default is not cured, the City will be able to immediately disconnect water service to the Debtor. 8. The parties agree that there is currently an outstanding balance for services provided to the Debtor for the months of February and March. The Debtor will pay $10,000.00 to the City on March 16, 2015 as payment toward the balance for services in the month of February 2015. The Debtor will pay $2,500.00 to the City on March 23, 2015 as payment toward the balance for services in the month of March 2015. The Debtor will pay $2,500.00 to the City on March 30, 2015 as payment toward the balance for services in the month of March 2015. The Debtor will pay $5,000.00 to the City on April 15, 2015 as payment toward the balance for services in the month of March 2015. Failure by the Debtor to make a payment in full by the due date constitutes a default. 9. The parties have agreed, subject to the terms of this Stipulation, the Debtor will make payments each month to the City in the amount of $10,000.00 per month, which payments will approximate payments for that month's service. Each payment is due in full by the 15a' of 2 180704v2 the month. The first of these payments is due in full on April 15t'. Failure by the Debtor to make a payment in full by the due date constitutes a default. 10. The parties agree that when each quarterly billing is issued by the City, the Debtor will have 30 -days in which to pay the portion of the balance which was not covered by Debtor's monthly payments. Failure by the Debtor to pay the full balance of a bill within the 30 -day period constitutes a default. 11. The parties further agree that this Stipulation is without prejudice to either Debtor or the City seeking to increase or decrease the amount of the monthly payment called for by the terms of this Stipulation. Depending on water usage, the Debtor and the City agree that either may seek an increase or decrease in the amount of the monthly payment. The parties agree to negotiate any such request in good faith. In the event the parties cannot agree to modification of the payment amount, either party may apply to the Bankruptcy Court seeking either an increase or decrease in the amount of the monthly payment. 12. This Stipulation shall become effective upon the entry of a Bankruptcy Court Order approving this Stipulation. 13. The parties agree and acknowledge that neither party shall be determined to be the drafter of this Stipulation. 14. This Stipulation may be executed by the parties in counterpart. A scanned or faxed copy of an execution of a counterpart shall have the same force and effect as if the same were an original. 180704v2 15.

Action Discussion ❑ Information ❑ Action Requested: Motion to approve proposed apiary registration revocation policy — Draft 03 /12 /15 /SHN Information / Background: The City Council has previously endorsed the proposal to amend City Code to enable Edina residents to own and maintain honeybee apiaries on their private property in the City. The Council has requested that a policy be drafted that will regulate the registration process so that apiaries do not spoil the quality of life of Edina residents who reside on properties adjacent to them. Such a policy has been previously drafted and shared with the City Council. The requested that staff review the proposed policy and make its recommendation to the City Council. Included in the March 17 City Council meeting prep packet is the original Report & Recommendation cover memo written by Ross Bintner and the original apiary registration revocation policy written by Dianne Plunkett- Latham. Also included, immediately following this Report & Recommendation cover memo is a revised apiary registration revocation policy. I am the author of the revised policy. I have shared it with Ms. Plunkett- Latham, but she does not support it. The primary difference between the two proposed policies is how they address the issue of bee sting allergies. For the purposes of full disclosure, I have a bee sting allergy. I am biased, therefore, in favor of insuring that the rights and concerns of residents with bee sting allergies are more than just taken into account. I believe their rights to live in peace and without fear of being stung ought to take precedence over the rights of potential beekeepers. Because I have this bias, I have edited the revised policy to reduce the threshold for a resident to prove that they have a bona fide bee sting allergy, and allows the City Manager to consider the lower standard as a possible reason for registration revocation. The registration revocation policy, however, ought to reflect the values of the City Council on this matter. I recommend the Council adopt the revised policy, but I will enforce whatever policy is adopted by the Council. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 R City of Edina Draft of 3 /12 /15 /SHN Apiary Registration Revocation Policy Apiary registration is required under Edina City Code Sec. 8 -311 (a) and serves to make the City aware of the locations where beekeeping activities are being conducted. Any resident living within 200 ft of a lot line of an apiary site may file a written appeal of the approval of an apiary registration to the City Manager, or their designee, (Sec. 8 -311 (h)) at any time after approval of an apiary registration. If an appeal is filed, the beekeeper will be notified in writing by the City Manager or their designee (Sec. 8 -311 (h)). The City Manager, or their designee, must then conduct a hearing with the apiary registrant and the person appealing the registration (Sec. 8 -316 (b)). The purpose of the following principals and criteria is to guide the City Manager, or their designee as to those circumstances under which an apiary registration can be revoked. After hearing sides, the City Manager, or their designee, renders a decision, which shall be final (Sec. 8 -316 (b)). A. Each registration appeal shall be evaluated on a case by case basis, recognizing its importance and benefit to both parties involved from all perspectives. B. An Edina resident seeking to register an apiary does not need a neighbor's signature of approval. C. During the hearing which is held pursuant to a written appeal of the apiary registration, the City Manager, or their designee, can mediate between the parties by suggesting such strategies as moving the apiary, constructing a flyway barrier (see definition below), or any other suitable management techniques. A flyway barrier is at least six (6) feet in height and may consist of: 1. A wall, fence, dense vegetation or a combination thereof, such that honeybees will fly over rather than through the material to reach the apiary. 2. If a flyway barrier of dense vegetation is used, the initial planting may be four (4) feet in height, so long as the vegetation reaches a height of six (6) feet or higher within two (2) years of installation. 3. The flyway barrier must continue parallel to the lot line of the apiary site for a mutually agreeable distance. 4. A flyway barrier is not required if the hive is located on a rooftop. E.

Because it is not possible to anticipate every situation, the City Manager or their designee must retain the right, in their discretion, to revoke apiary registrations which may vary from the principles and criteria of this policy.

The attached policy was developed directly from page 5 of the Energy and Environment Commission's report from the Local Food Working Group dated Nov. 22, 2014. Issue: The only issue is that of whether a neighbor within 200 feet of an apiary lot line can compel an apiary registration revocation by showing a documented past anaphylaxis due to a bee sting, without documenting what kind of bee, or whether the City Council will adopt a higher standard, as recommended by the Energy and Environment Commission, showing a documented past anaphylaxis specifically due to a honeybee (Apis mellifera) sting. Both alternatives are presented in the proposed policy for Council to consider. Factual Background Honeybee Biology - The Hymenoptera are one of the largest orders of insects. Stinging insects of the order Hymenoptera are the main cause of insect - related anaphylaxis. There are 3 families of Hymenoptera with clinical importance: Apis species - Bees (honeybees, bumblebees), Vespids (yellow jackets, hornets, wasps), Stinging ants (genus Solenopsis and others). There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees (Hymenoptera, suborder Apocrita, clade Anthophila) with over 400 species in Minnesota. The venom of each species of Hymenoptera is specific to that species. If a person is allergic to other stinging insects, they will not likely also be allergic to honeybee stings. An article by David B.K. Golden, M.D on Insect Sting Anaphylaxis found at http: / /www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov /pmc /articles /PMC1961691/, states that "Honeybee venom is immunochemically distinct from the other Hymenoptera." But " Vespid (hornet) venoms have a high degree of cross reactivity with each other..." This means that an allergy test can distinguish whether the instinct sting was specifically from a honeybee (Apis mellifera). Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are hybridized to be gentle and rarely sting, whereas wasps and hornets are aggressive insects and are quick to sting. If a person has been stung, it is more likely by that of a wasp or a hornet then by a honeybee. A worker honeybee can sting but once and then dies, so they are unlikely to sting unless physically assaulted. A male honeybee (drone) cannot sting. If stung by a worker honeybee, the barbed stinger will be left in the skin. If stung by a wasp, hornet or bumble bee, the stinger is not left in the skin, the insect does not die and consequently, these insects can sting multiple times. As a result, a honeybee sting can be visually differentiated from a wasp, hornet or bumble bee sting in those situations when the honeybee stinger remains in the skin and is not brushed off by clothing, for example. Probability of a Honeybee Sting - The probability of being stung by a honeybee is very low, given their gentleness. Gary Reuter, scientist with the University of Minnesota Bee Lab, testified at the Edina City Council's first reading of the Honeybee amendments on 1 -20 -15 that although his wife is specifically allergic to honeybee stings, he does have a home apiary and the honeybees have never stung his wife. Lightning Strike Analogy - See the following article showing that death by insect sting in the US occurs approximately as often as death by lightning strike. FAQ: Bee Sting Allergies and Municipal Regulations, Prepared by Parke Troutman at http: // sdfoodpolicy. org / downloads /UA_FAQ_Bee_ Allergies_2012Jan.pdf "Anaphylactic reactions from stings leading to death are so rare that there is little reason to factor them into decisions about honeybee policies... If we want to simply look at deaths from `Contact with hornets, wasps and bees' [mortality code X23], we get 503 deaths in the US from 1999 to 2007, or 57 deaths per year. This is from the CDC Compressed Mortality File." (Actual search: http: // wonder. cdc .gov /controller /datarequestID53,j sessionid= 8AB58AB32311 FE08COFAC81327D 1099CD). "The deaths for all stinging insects is very close to US annual deaths by lightning strike. CDC notes 458 deaths from 1999 - 2007" (or 57.25 deaths /year). Given that CDC's mortality code X23 does not separate honeybees from hornets and wasps, which are much more likely to sting, one can assume that the likelihood of dying from a honeybee sting is much lower than that of dying from a lightning strike. Allergy Test - If one has not made a visual identification of what kind of flying insect stung them, and does not have evidence of a stinger lodged in the skin, the only other way to make the determination is to take an allergy test. If someone is extremely allergic to bees, such as those who have had a past anaphylactic reaction, they would very likely have been tested for bee allergies already and would have medical documentation of the specific sensitivity. Tests distinguishing between the common kinds of local insect stings and other allergies are commonly available at local allergy clinics. Mayo Clinic reports at http: / /www.mayoclinic .org/diseases - conditions/bee- stings/basics /tests - diagnosis /con- 20034120 that this test is safe and won't cause any serious reactions. If you're allergic, you will develop a raised bump on your skin at the test site. A blood test can measure your immune system's response to a given venom by measuring the amount of allergy- causing antibodies in your bloodstream. A blood sample is sent to a medical laboratory, where it can be tested for evidence of sensitivity to possible allergens. Allergists have venom available for the common local stinging insects such as honeybee, white faced hornet, yellow hornet, yellow jacket and wasp. Insurance generally covers the cost of an allergy test, except for the co- pay portion. Therefore, the only downside of the test is the inconvenience and time commitment. If one is subject to anaphylaxis, such testing would be prudent whether one's neighbor has an apiary or not. Other Options Available to those subject to Bee Sting Allergies Those who are allergic to bee stings have options outside of requesting the revocation of a neighbor's apiary registration. This includes immunotherapy, or carrying an EpiPen, or bee proofing their property, and last but not least, respecting bees. Immunotherapy — Immunotherapy is available for Hymenoptera venom. If someone is truly concerned about bee stings, they can have venom immunotherapy treatment for prevention of anaphylactic reactions. "When sting reactions occur after stopping venom immunotherapy, most are quite mild and almost always are less severe than the pre- treatment reaction." See Golden. EpiPen — One can carry an auto - injector (epinephrine) for use should they have an anaphylactic reaction due to a sting or other food or drug conditions. It is an emergency injection (shot) of epinephrine used for the treatment of life- threatening allergic reactions known as anaphylaxis. The epinephrine auto - injector is designed for single - dose use by patients and caregivers in an anaphylactic emergency. After administering, emergency care should be sought. Bee Proof Your Property — Minimize sources of food, such as plants with honey and pollen, as well as shelter attractive to bees. Respect Bees - To minimize the risk of being stung, do not go barefoot. If a bee is near you, move away. Do not swat at the bee, which may aggravate it, instead, blow it off you if it lands on you. Rationale Other Pet Risks — The risks posed by honeybees are no greater than those posed by other pets permitted in Edina. The City allows dogs, which pose a small risk of mauling or of rabies, as well as cats, which present a risk of toxoplasmosis. Honeybees present a similarly small risk and should be permitted absent a documented anaphylactic allergy to them. Registration Revocation is Ineffective - Prohibiting a resident from having an apiary will not eliminate honeybees in the local neighborhood because they forage within an area of two square miles and up to five miles in extreme cases. All cities on Edina's border allow honeybees with the exception of Richfield such that they are in our back yards already. Similarly, registration revocation will not eliminate native bees in a neighbor's yard either. Minnesota has over 400 species of native bees, many of which are already in our back yards. Recreational Fires — Edina permits recreational fires despite the risks inherent in fire and despite the risk of smoke injury to sensitive persons. When an Edina resident applies for a recreational fire permit under Sec. 18- 65 (b) (307.2) (5), the City does not require neighbor notification within 200 ft of the lot line. Those with a documented wood smoke allergy or asthma, or other breathing disorder do not have the option to cause the recreational fire permit to be denied. This is in spite of wood smoke being a significant health hazard to those with breathing disorders, causing them to close all their doors and windows and stay inside until the smoke subsides. Even then, the smoke sometimes enters the home. More residents burn wood in their back yards to the detriment of neighbors with breathing disorders than the number of residents who will ever raise honeybees, which have very low probability of causing any harm to a neighbor. This is in contrast to recreational fires, which to some degree will always harm those with breathing disorders. Those with an allergy to bee stings do not feel the need to stay indoors when flowers are blooming out of fear of injury. In contrast, those with breathing disorders, when presented with smoke, must stay inside. Recommendation Dr. Marla Spivak, Director of the University of Minnesota Bee Lab, recommends that the policy on apiary registration revocation "simply state that documentation must be provided that the person has had an anaphylactic response to honey bee stings." The Energy and Environment Commission recommended that Council require that neighbors show a documented past anaphylaxis specifically due to a honeybee (Apis mellifera) sting before revoking an apiary registration due to past anaphylaxis. Residents should make every effort to protect and encourage honeybees and native bees while overcoming unfounded prejudices against them. Council is respectfully asked to adopt EEC's recommendation of revoking an apiary registration permit upon a showing of medical documentation stating that you, or another person who is permanently resident in the household, have suffered past anaphylaxis specifically due to honeybee (Apis mellifera) stings. 3 .V XSA, N ' CITY OF EDINA e J DRAFT of 1 -27 -15 APIARY REGISTRATION REVOCATION POLICY Apiary registration is required under Edina City Code Sec. 8 -311 (a) and serves to make the City aware of the locations where beekeeping activities are being conducted. Any resident living within 200 ft of a lot line of an apiary site may file a written appeal of the approval of an apiary registration to the City Manager, or their designee, (Sec. 8 -311 (h)) at any time after approval of an apiary registration. If an appeal is filed, the beekeeper will be notified in writing by the City Manager or their designee (Sec. 8 -311 (h)). The City Manager, or their designee, must then conduct a hearing with the apiary registrant and the person appealing the registration (Sec. 8 -316 (b)). The purpose of the following principals and criteria is to guide the City Manager, or their designee as to those circumstances under which an apiary registration can be revoked. After hearing sides, the City Manager, or their designee, renders a decision, which shall be final (Sec. 8 -316 (b)). A. Each registration appeal shall be evaluated on a case by case basis, recognizing its importance and benefit to both parties involved from all perspectives. B. An Edina resident seeking to register an apiary does not need a neighbor's signature of approval. C. A neighbor's comments prior to approval of the apiary registration will not impact whether or not the registration is approved. Only the applicant's compliance with all City code applicable to apiaries will determine the approval of an apiary registration. D. During the hearing which is held pursuant to a written appeal of the apiary registration, the City Manager, or their designee, can mediate between the parties by suggesting such strategies as moving the apiary, constructing a flyway barrier (see definition below), or any other suitable management techniques. A flyway barrier is at least six (6) feet in height and may consist of: 1. A wall, fence, dense vegetation or a combination thereof, such that honeybees will fly over rather than through the material to reach the apiary. 2. If a flyway barrier of dense vegetation is used, the initial planting may be four (4) feet in height, so long as the vegetation reaches a height of six (6) feet or higher within two (2) years of installation. 3. The flyway barrier must continue parallel to the lot line of the apiary site for a mutually agreeable distance. 4. A flyway barrier is not required if the hive is located on a rooftop. E. Stating that "I'm allergic to bee stings" is not persuasive to cause a revocation. Medical documentation must be provided stating that you, or another person who is permanently resident in the household, have suffered past anaphylaxis specifically due to honeybee (Apis mellifera) stings. Alternative: Medical documentation must be provided stating that you, or another person who is permanently resident in the household, have suffered past anaphylaxis due to bee stings, provided that the medical documentation does not also indicate that the allergy is to a bee or insect species other than honeybees (Apis mellifera). F. Medical documentation can consist of a letter, bill, or other written statement from an emergency room, physician, pharmacist, nurse, or from a licensed allergist with a diagnosis that you have tested positive Adopted Edina City Council February XX, 2015 Page 11 for bee venom allergies, or from other medical personnel, provided that it lists both honeybee (Alternative: bee) stings and resultant past anaphylaxis. G. Documentation stating that you have a prescription for an auto - injector (epinephrine) is not sufficient to revoke an apiary registration because EpiPens are prescribed for a variety of reasons, such as food allergies. H. Swelling, pain and redness due to bee stings is not sufficient to revoke an apiary registration. Anaphylaxis due to other stinging insects such as ants (genus Solenopsis and others) or wasps (Vespids) or any other non honeybee insect is insufficient to revoke an apiary registration. An apiary registration can also be revoked if the apiary can be shown to have become a habitual nuisance due to improper maintenance, despite the City having asked the beekeeper orally at least once, and in writing at least once, to rectify conditions. Such nuisance conditions can include: inconsistent water source, swarming, inconvenient cleansing flight trajectory, etc. K. Because it is not possible to anticipate every situation, the City Manager or their designee must retain the right, in their discretion, to revoke apiary registrations which may vary from the principles and criteria of this policy.

Information / Background: The Energy and Environment Commission (EEC) is recommending code revision to allow limited chicken keeping in the City. A report from the EEC on the subject and an Ordinance to that affect is attached for Council consideration. Commission member Latham will be available to present this report. This item was initially presented to Council at the January 20, 2015 Meeting as a single ordinance that dealt with bees and chicken keeping. Council approved first reading for Bee portion and sent back the chicken portion to the EEC for further advice relating to humane treatment.

Section I. Section 8 -210 of the Edina City Code is amended to provide as follows: Sec. 8 -210. Keeping of certain animals regulated. No person shall keep any rabbits, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs or other rodents, ferrets or any bird excluding female Gallus gollus domesticus. on any premises used for residential purposes except in a metal cage so constructed that it may be completely and easily cleaned and that the animal or animals kept therein are completely enclosed and protected from children and animals on the outside. Such animals at all times shall be kept within the dwelling or an accessory building. Section 2. Section 8 -212 of the Edina City Code is amended to provide as follows: Sec. 8 -212. Keeping of certain animals prohibited. No person shall keep within the city: (1) Any livestock with the exception of a maximum of four (4) female Gallus gallus domesticus Up to eighteen (18) immature Gallus gallus domesticus fowl may be used in educational or instructional activity, provided their use is directly related to the educational or instructional activity . (2) Any mammal belonging to the order Carnivora except dogs, cats and ferrets. For the purposes of this subsection, the bloodline of an individual animal must comprise not less than 51 percent domestic breeds. (3) Honeybees and apiaries. (3) Venomous snakes. Section 3. This ordinance is effective immediately upon its passage and publication. First Reading: Second Reading: Published: Attest Debra A. Mangen, City Clerk Please publish in the Edina Sun Current on Send two affidavits of publication Bill to Edina City Clerk 178328v1 James B. Hovland, Mayor Local Food Working Group (LFWG) Report on Fowl 2 -13 -15 General Background: The Edina Energy and Environment Commission (EEC) established its Local Food Working Group (LFWG) on 10 -10 -13 to implement the Green Step Cities (GSC) Local Food Best Practice #27 Action #2, which is defined as "Facilitate creation of home /community gardens, chicken & bee keeping, and incorporation of food growing areas/access in multifamily residential developments." To achieve GSC credit for chicken and bee keeping at the one star level, the city must "Remove restrictions to food gardening/raising of chickens /bees in residential areas." Seventy -eight Minnesota cities belong to Green Step Cities including Edina as of 2- 13 -15. Objective — The objective of the LFWG is to propose to the EEC code revisions and accompanying policy, as well as educational programs, to enable Edina to obtain credit for the GSC Local Food best practice by making it possible for residents to keep honeybees and female chickens in Edina and thus obtain their accompanying environmental benefits. Another objective of the honeybee and fowl ordinance amendments is to provide an apicultural framework to enable hobbyists to safely and successfully pursue these pleasurable and environmentally, economically, culturally and agriculturally critical activities in urban areas. The proposed amendments for fowl are designed to result in a minimum of staff oversight time given that no permit is required. Other Governmental Regulations - Where other city, county or state regulations apply, they will be utilized and not repeated as part of Edina's enabling code amendments. This includes nuisance, noise, sanitation, animal cruelty, accessory building regulations, customary home occupations and animal enclosure regulations among others. Chicken - Keeping Benefits - The benefit of a limited number of hens (a maximum of 4 female Gallus gallus domesticus) is that they are interesting companion animals, which can be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) gardening program given their appetite for insects. Hens will consume many varieties of harmful insects including slugs, wood ticks and Japanese beetles. They can also be used as a source of fresh eggs and fertilizer. In order to foster honeybee- keeping as well as native pollinators, residents must greatly reduce pesticide use. Chickens are a nonchemical, environmentally sound method of reducing garden pests. Chickens lay eggs for 4 — 5 years, but live for 10 — 12 years, thus must be viewed as companion animals. The Morningside area of Edina has long had a tradition of keeping chickens, which continues today. Noise Concerns - Only hens, not roosters, will be permitted given that hens are nearly silent, making only a light clucking sound. Only roosters crow. House Wrens, Mourning Doves and many other wild birds make more sound then do hens. Barking dogs make far more sound then do hens. Educational Benefits of Chickens — The ordinance has been revised to permit schools to use up to 18 immature chickens in their educational programs because it is a valuable lesson in science and biology. It also helps kids understand our human food chain so that they understand that eggs and meat should be treated with respect. Given that a chicken has paid the ultimate price for their lunch, they shouldn't be wasteful. It means a lot more when students see a chicken as more than a bag of frozen chicken breast that we buy a grocery store. Hens are not specified in the educational exception because it is difficult to tell the sex of chicks. The city of Rochester provides such an educational exception for up to twelve chickens. Hen House /Chicken Run Setback — Is not addressed in the proposed code amendments and therefore defaults to: Sec. 8 -211 — "Animal Enclosure "... "Shall not exceed 300 square feet in area and shall be placed only in the rear yard and no closer than 20 feet to any property line." No requirements are recommended as to chicken coop size or amenities. The City does not specify such requirements for dog houses or other pet housing. Residents are expected to review the requirements for any proposed family pet and responsibly undertake them. To legislate requirements for hen houses would open the flood gates to having to do so for other pet housing such as dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. Pet stores selling chicken coops, or on -line plans for chicken coops generally conform to standards such as those set forth in the University Agricultural Extension recommendations found at http: / /www. extension. umn. edu / food /small- farms /livestock/poultry/backyard- chicken - basics / #care. If pet housing manufacturers did otherwise, it would likely result in a loss of pet housing sales. Animal Cruelty Laws — If chicken owners, as any other pet owners, are not responsible in the housing and care of their pets, they are subject to the State Animal Cruelty statutes — See attached MN Stat 343.20 et. seq. Thus, it is not necessary to duplicate such requirements in Edina's fowl amendments. Disease — Refer to the attached University of Minnesota Extension memorandum of 5 -29 -12 indicating that there is little likelihood of contracting parasites or disease from chickens. This includes diseases such as salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, chlamydophilosis (also known as psittocosis), and avian influenza. Home Occupation — Chicken - keeping is not listed as a permissible home occupation under the Home Occupation ordinance, Section 36 -1254. Thus, eggs could not be sold directly from home, but could be sold at a Farmer's Market, etc., if desired. A typical hen under about five years of age lays approximately one egg a day, with less in the winter. Chicken- Keeping Registration Process — Because there is little injury, health or safety risk in raising chickens, no license, registration or permit is proposed. Licenses are required of dogs so that their owners can demonstrate that they have had rabies shots. Registration is required of apiaries so that neighbors can be notified, and in the event that they have any known honeybee allergies, they can request the apiary permit be revoked. See attached University of Minnesota Extension 5 -29 -12 memorandum indicating minimal risks. Other Cities Permitting Hen - Keeping - At least 24 metro cities allow the keeping of hen chickens, including three cities on Edina's boundary (Bloomington, Minneapolis, St. Louis Park). These metro cities include Bloomington, Burnsville, Centerville, Circle Pines, Eagan, Falcon Heights, Fridley, Golden Valley, Maple Grove, Maplewood, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, New Brighton, New Hope, Newport, Oakdale, Ramsey, Robbinsdale, Roseville, St. Louis Park, St. Paul, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, and West St. Paul. Other metro cities allowing chickens generally do not allow roosters. At least three metro cities prohibit keeping chickens - Eden Prairie, Wayzata and White Bear Lake. Number of Chickens — Up to 4 hen (female) chickens will be allowed, or 18 immature chickens when used in educational or instructional activity, provided their use is directly related to the educational or instructional activity. Four was chosen because, as a flock animal, two can keep each other company. Since hens lay eggs for only 4 or 5 years, if the hens are desired for eggs, one needs to get two younger hens after the first two stop laying after 4 or 5 years, resulting in a total of four. Since chickens live about 10 years, the first two will probably die by the time the second two stop laying and then two younger hens can be obtained while maintaining a total of four hens. Cities that have a specified a ceiling on the number of hens in residential settings generally allow a maximum of four. This includes Bloomington, Burnsville, Centerville and Shoreview. Maplewood allows 10. Golden Valley allows up to 3 laying hens as well as New Hope, which allows more with a permit. Robbinsdale requires permission for more than two chickens. Eagan allows 5 hens and Minnetonka allows 5 hens per one -half acre. New Brighton has no restrictions on chickens but has an Urban Farm Task Force report recommending a "fowl tried matrix" to set a limit on poultry based on lot size up to a maximum of 24 birds. Slaughtering — At the 11 -13 -14 meeting, EEC recommended permitting slaughtering as it is the most humane way to remove a chicken which is has disease or is injured, or which no longer lays eggs. It is preferable to adding them to animal shelters, which may need to euthanize them. Most likely, hens would become beloved family pets and slaughtering is rarely expected to occur. Guinea pigs are commonly eaten in South American cultures, yet Edina has no regulations with respect to slaughtering them despite their being a common pet. Some metro cities allowing chickens do allow slaughtering. This includes Minnetonka, Minneapolis (for religious reasons), Maple Grove, and Burnsville. LFWG Educational Programs for Keeping Hens - After passage of the chicken - keeping ordinance the following educational program is proposed to be offered: "Keeping Chickens as Companion Animals, as a Component of a residential IPM Program, and as Local Food" — Date TBA. Virginia Kearney to find a speaker for a free program in the Arneson Terrace Room on a Saturday morning. For a video on how to get started with chickens, see video series at www.Extension.UMN.Edu/small- farms. Edina Community Ed can also be considered as a venue for education on keeping chickens. Legislative History LFWG Membership - Three city of Edina commissioners were confirmed by the EEC at the 11 -14 -13 EEC meeting, with additional residents confirmed at the Dec. 12, 2013 EEC meeting. The LFWG consists of: Dianne Plunkett Latham, LFWG Chair - Energy & Environment Commission Louise Segreto —Park Board Arlene Forrest - Planning Commission - Beekeeping experience Virginia Kearney — Edina Resident — Chicken- keeping experience Dr. Geoffrey Bodeau — Edina Resident - Beekeeping experience Jamie Bodeau —Edina Resident — Beekeeping experience — Son of Dr. Geoffrey Bodeau and EHS senior David Chin - Edina Resident - Beekeeping experience LFWG Meetings: The LFWG meets at City Hall as needed with meetings attended as follows: Nov. 26, 2013: Present - DP Latham, Louise Segreto, Arlene Forrest, Virginia Kearney, Dr. Geoffrey Bodeau, David Chin. Absent: Jamie Bodeau, Flora Delaney March 21, 2014: Present - DP Latham, Flora Delaney, Virginia Kearney, Dr. Geoffrey and Jamie Bodeau. Absent - Louise Segreto, David Chin, Arlene Forrest EEC Meetings: The LFWG report and City Code amendments for chicken and beekeeping were reviewed by the EEC at its 4 -10 -14 meeting (present DP Latham, David Chen, Virginia Kearney) and 5 -8 -14 meeting (present DP Latham, Dr. Geoffrey Bodeau). The EEC approved the LFWG report and ordinance amendments for a recommendation to the 6 -3 -14 EEC /City Council Work Session. Council's 6 -3 -14 Work Session recommendations were incorporated into the report and code recommendations by the LFWG and unanimously approved at the 6 -12 -14 EEC meeting (present DP Latham, Dr. Geoffrey Bodeau, Jamie Bodeau) for forwarding to Council with a recommendation to implement the code amendments. The amendments were returned to the EEC for consideration at its 10 -9 -14 meeting to make additional changes recommended by the City Attorney as well as LFWG members at which time the LFWG's revised proposal was unanimously approved. Recommendations of the 11 -12 -14 Planning Commission meeting were considered by the EEC at its 11 -13 -14 meeting with the EEC's conclusions set forth below. After the first reading of the honeybee and fowl amendments at the 1 -20 -15 Council meeting, Council referred several issues to EEC regarding animal cruelty and coop requirements. These issues were considered at the 2 -12 -15 EEC meeting with the LFTF report on Fowl being unanimously approved (present DP Latham and Virginia Kearney). The LFTF's proposed policy on Apiary Registration Revocation and its accompanying rationale document was also unanimously approved at the 2 -12 -15 EEC meeting, 3 including the requirement that medical documentation be specific to anaphylaxis due to honeybee (Apis mellifera) stings, not bee stings generally. City Council Meetings: The EEC met with the City Council for a work session on the proposed ordinance on 6 -3 -14. All Council members were present. LFWG members present included DP Latham, David Chin, and Virginia Kearney. Hen Shirley demonstrated what excellent and quiet companion animals hens are. Other EEC members present included Commissioners Herr, Sierks, Gubrud, Howard, Glahn and Zarrin. A first reading of the honeybee and fowl ordinance was held on 1 -20 -15 (LFWG present: Arlene Forrest, Virginia Kearney, Dr Geoffrey Bodeau, Jamie Bodeau, David Chin) The LFWG report was presented by LFWG Chair, Dianne Plunkett Latham. At that time Council directed that the honeybee and fowl sections be separated into two separate ordinances and that a policy on apiary registration revocation be prepared for the second reading of the beekeeping amendments. The second reading for the honeybee amendments was held on February 3, 2015, (present DP Latham, Arlene Forrest, Dr. Geofrey Bodeau) but because the date did not allow staff enough time to review the proposed apiary registration revocation policy, the beekeeping ordinance was tabled to the March 17, 2015 Council meeting with a few minor amendments having been proposed at the Feb. 3, 2015 meeting. The second reading for the fowl amendments was scheduled for March 17, 2015. This report segregated out the fowl portion with the honeybee portions being deleted so that the report can address Council's concerns with respect to the fowl issues as articulated at the January 20, 2015 first reading. 11 -12 -14 Planning Commission Informational Meeting — On 9 -23 -14 Ross Bintner indicated that City Attorney, Roger Knudson, related that because the proposed ordinance amended the Section 36 Zoning code, that the proposed ordinance must be referred to the Planning Commission for a public hearing before it goes to the City council. Cary Teague, the Planning Commission Staff Advisor indicated that the amendments must have an informational hearing at the Planning Commission prior to a Planning Commission public hearing. EEC's Commissioner Latham then presented the proposal at the 11 -12 -14 Planning Commission's informational hearing. Also present was EEC's staff liaison Ross Bintner as well as the City of Eden Prairie's staff member, Jim Schedin, who is responsible for Eden Prairie's beekeeping ordinance enforcement. Mr Schedin is also an Edina resident. At the 11 -12 -14 Planning Commission meeting, Commissioners Latham and Forrest recommended removing the Section 36 Zoning amendments because they were either unnecessary or because they were inconsistent with Council's desires as expressed at the 6 -3 -14 Work Session. Pending EEC approval, if no further Section 36 amendments remained, Carry Teague indicated that a Planning Commission public hearing was no longer necessary given that the Planning Commission no longer had jurisdiction. The City of Edina Attorney concurred with this assessment. At the 11 -13 -14 meeting, EEC unanimously agreed with removing the Section 36 Zoning amendments from the proposed ordinance. As a consequence, a public hearing before the City Council was unnecessary as well. At the 11 -12 -14 Planning Commission informational meeting, the following issues related to fowl were identified and unanimously responded to as noted below during the 11 -13 -14 EEC meeting. Commissioner Platteter expressed concerns about chickens attracting coyotes. EEC found this concern unfounded given that coyotes are already in Edina. Continuing a ban on chickens would not eliminate or reduce the coyote population. Coyotes are attracted to Edina's abundant wildlife (fox, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, mice, voles, shrews, fawn, etc) as well as residents' small dogs and cats. A hen keeper could as easily argue that a neighbor's small dogs and cats are attracting the coyotes to their hens. Commissioner Platteter suggested a prohibition on slaughtering chickens. Jim Schedin indicated that Eden Prairie does not have such a prohibition. EEC determined that slaughtering chickens should be allowed given that only four hens are permissible; it is the most humane way of disposing of a hen that no longer lays eggs or which becomes injured. It is also preferable to adding such hens to animal shelters, which would then have to consider euthanizing them. Most likely, hens would become family pets and slaughtering is rarely expected to occur in any event. 4 Commissioner Carr asked if there was a limit on the number of accessory structures a resident could have. Cary Teague indicated that there was none. Planning made no recommendation for such a limitation, presumably because there already is a limitation on the number of honeybee colonies a resident can have. Furthermore, a resident is unlikely to desire more than one hen house for only four hens. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION Driven to Discover- College of Toed, May 29, 2012 Agricultural and To: Interested Parties Natural Resource Sciences From: University of Minnesota Extension Specialists DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SCIENCE Re. Backyard or Urban Poultry Keeping Concerns L3613 RI,4 Halt 1364 fic&7es Avenue Several common concerns have been expressed b town and city p y ygovernments sr. r� 7, t W 55398 G7 i4 when they are asked to consider the request to keep poultry in urban settings. The PHONE purpose of this letter is to provide information regarding these concerns which (471) 624.2722 typically include transmission of diseases from poultry to humans as well as nuisance FAX concerns of noise, odor, and pests; generation and disposal of waste. (612) 62.6-5769 Poultry diseases and tmnS1niSS1017 to hurnans WEB The main diseases of concern Include salmoneilosis, campylobarteriosis, chlamydophilosis (also known as psittacosis), and avian influenza. Illness associated with salmonella and campylobaoter is typicaliy the result of eating St. P-1 C "e,= St. Pu+d CcmyHa contaminated food which has been impropery cooked or prepared. Salmonella and Campylobacter can exist in the gut of the bird and hence contact with the fecal material is a concern; however, neither is present In the gut of most poultry. There are sporadic reports of children contracting Salmonella by handling baby chicks, People, especially children should wash their hands before and after handling poultry to prevent transmission in elther direction, Chlamydophilosis or psittacosis is rarely diagnosed in domestic poultry, usually turkeys or pigeons, and is generally not a disease of chickens, Most cases of Chlamydophila infection are diagnosed in psittacine bird (parrots, etc.) and only on rare occasion. Contact with respiratory secretions or fecal material of sick birds can spread the disease. Avian Influenza is a respiratory disease in birds and there are many different subtypes of influenza virus. Most subtypes are not !ransmitted to humans (zoonotic). One subtype, =urring in Europe and the Far East, can be transmitted from birds to humans. This subtype has never been diagnosed in the United States, but there are both national and state programs to regularly mon'tor U.S. poultry and wild birds for the presence of this subtype. Parasites of poultry must live on or inside birds to survive and do not infect people. External parasites that can Infest poultry are not infectious for people. Common external parasites such as the northern fowl mite strictly live on girds and are not infectious for people. Intestinal parasites, such as coccidia and roundworms, can live in the digestive tract of poultry, but do not infect humans, dogs or cats. Nuisance concerns These concerns include noise, manure, odor, and pests. For noise, male (rooster) and female (hen) chickens vary in their vocalizations. Mature roosters will crow while hens make a clucking noise. The chucking ten da to be soft in tone but the hens can have a loud call -alarm call if startled or threatened. These calls occur over a short time period and end when the threat ends or is identified. Typically there will be little vocalization during the night time hours unless the birds am startled. Odor can be associated with chicken manure if allowed to accumulate. A small number of birds will not generate much manure and with periodic cleaning of the coop this should not be an issue. The manure and bedding that is removed can be used as a fertilizer in the fresh form or after composting. Because the birds produce manure, there Is the concern that flies will be attracted and proliferate in the manure, Wet feed can also attract flies. Proper coop management, malntaining dry bedding and removing soiled bedding and wet feed from the coop should minimize the fly population in a small flock. Proper coop management will also minimize potential problems with rodents such as house mice and Norway rats. Larger posts/predators, such as foxes, raccoons, and coyotes that already regide in urban areas may take an occasional chicken but the small populations of poultry kept in any one area are unlikely to attract and sustain any number of predators.

Because the Local Food Working Group (LFWG) and the Edina Energy and Environment Commission (EEC) had no opportunity to review the e-mail prior to the Council meeting, Council declined to approve the EEC's proposed fowl amendments at the January 20, 2015 first reading and directed EEC to review the facts in the e-mail and make recommendations on the requests in the e-mail prior to Council's second reading of the fowl amendments, which is scheduled for March 17, 2015. The EEC unanimously adopted this report on 2- 12 -15. EEC Commissioner and LFWG Chair Dianne Plunkett Latham reviewed the facts alleged in Mr. Plaetzer's e-mail of 1- 20-15. The two chickens referred to in his e-mail are those residing at 4507 Grimes Ave. S., which, as stated in his e-mail, are five houses away from Mr. Plaetzer's residence. See map and chicken coop photograph below. The chickens were obtained in June 2014 and were not there "last winter." In summary, it appears that Mr. Plaetzer is not familiar with the specific care these chickens are receiving, or what constitutes good practice with respect to housing pet chickens. See University of Minnesota Extension backyard chicken care standards at http://www.extension.umn.edu/food/small- farms /livestock/poultry / backyyard- chicken - basics / #care. I personally visited the chicken coop at 4507 Grimes Ave. S. on 1 -27 -15 and found the chickens in question are well cared for and well loved family pets. They were active, well fed, friendly, and had no signs of frostbite or other disease. Their housing conforms to the above cited U. of MN Extension backyard chicken care standards. Coop Structure - The "small coop" is the Extreme Cape Cod model from Fleet Farm. The dimensions are 73" length x 31.9 width x 48" height resulting in 2,329 square inches, or a little over 16 square ft of ground floor space plus 6 more sq feet additional in the loft, which has a locking nesting box where the roof area can easily be raised to retrieve eggs. It is advertised as suitable for four chickens, resulting in 4 sq ft per hen. Given that it is occupied by only 2 chickens at 4507 Grimes Ave. S., they have 8 sq ft per hen. The U. of MN Extension care standards cited above recommends 3 -5 sq ft per hen. Cape Cod model coops have an asphalt roof, are completely enclosed and are surrounded by a wire cage with a feeding and exercise area. Chicken coops are typically "completely exposed to the elements" given that they are typically outside. Coop Heating - It is common practice to heat a small chicken coop with a single light bulb in the winter. See above U. of MN Extension care standards. The coop in question has a heat lamp which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the winter. One can see the electrical cord as well as light emanating from the coop window in the attached photograph. There is a heating plate under the five gallon water container to prevent the water from freezing. There is also a feeding tough which contains a 5 day supply of food. You can see from the photograph that this deluxe chicken coop has many amenities. The resident has expended approximately $400 to insure proper housing for the chickens. Exercise - It is not accurate that the "chickens never get to walk outside the cage." The owner indicates that they are taken out by the children to play with almost every day. Chickens do not like walking on snow so prefer to stay in their coop during the winter and only come out into areas where there is no snow. There would be no insects, seeds, fruits or vegetables for them to forage for during the winter outside the coop in any event. The homeowner indicates that in the winter the children play with the hens in the house and in summer the hens play in the yard with the homeowner's children and neighborhood children, who often stop by to play with them as well. As you can see from the attached map, the Plaetzer's do not have a line of sight view of the coop thereby disabling them from continuously monitoring the hen's exercise and play activities. Consequently, they cannot be aware of how often the hens are played with. The coop contains a ramp up to the roosting area and space at the ground level for foraging and where the chickens can "stand up, lie down, and turn around freely, and fully extend all limbs" as Mr. Plaetzer recommends. In conclusion, the chickens in question are maintained in accordance with standard pet chicken practices. It is not necessary to include such practices in an ordinance given that the State of Minnesota in well positioned with 11 pages of animal cruelty statutes which can be found at MN Stat. 343.20 Et. Seq. See attached. 2 -13 -15 1 In Mr. Plaetzer's follow -up e -mail of 1 -21 -15 (see below) he gives the citations from which he developed his recommended ordinance language. These are farming based livestock standards and not applicable to urban pets. For example, he recommends a standard of 101 to 116 sq inches of floor space per hen. With his standard, the hens in question would each have less than 1 sq foot (144 sq inches) of floor space. The U. of MN Extension article above recommends 3- 5 sq ft per hen. With two hens, the hen house in the photograph exceeds this at 16 sq ft of floor space (8 sq ft per hen) plus 6 sq ft in the loft, or 4 sq ft of floor space per hen if the hen house were utilized to the designed capacity of 4 hens. Mr. Plaetzer recommends the slaughter standards from Public Law 85 -765 (7 U.S.C. 1901 et seq., but this law exempts birds from the recommended standard. In the EEC's report dated 11 -22 -14 on page 8, which was included in the 1 -20 -15 Council packet, EEC recommended permitting slaughtering as it is the most humane way to remove a chicken which is has disease or injury, or which no longer lays eggs. It is preferable to leaving them at animal shelters, which may need to euthanize them. Most likely, hens will become beloved family pets and slaughtering is rarely expected to occur. Some metro cities allowing chickens do allow slaughtering. This includes Minnetonka, Minneapolis (for religious reasons), Maple Grove, and Burnsville. No Twin City metro city was found with any of Mr. Plaetzer's recommendations below in their Code given that his recommendations are either farm livestock based standards, or are simply common sense. As such, his recommendations below are not recommended for adoption into Edina City Code. The City does not specify area requirements for dog houses or other pet housing. Residents are expected to review the requirements of any proposed family pet and responsibly undertake them. To legislate requirements for hen houses would open the flood gates for having to do so for other pet housing (dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc). The attached State animal cruelty statutes are more than adequate to assure proper treatment of pets in Edina.

As to the chicken part of the proposed ordinance, however, it seems that any guidelines for best and humane practices are missing. A homeowner five house down from us keeps two chickens in a small coop completely exposed to the elements. The chickens never get to walk outside the cage. Last winter the owner never used a heat lamp and the chickens were exposed to many subzero nights. It seems the ordinance should include some guidelines on humane cage size, free range availability and protection from extreme heat or cold weather. I hope you pass the bee part of the ordinance tonight and send the chicken part back for more study. I've put some suggested ordinance language in this regard below. Thanks for your consideration.

A person who cuts the bony part of a horse's tail for the purpose of docking it, or who causes or knowingly permits the same to be done upon premises of which the person is owner, lessee, or user, or who assists in the cutting is guilty of a misdemeanor. When a horse is found so cut, upon the premises or in the custody of any person, and the wound resulting is unhealed, that fact shall constitute prima facie evidence that the offense was committed by the person. All fines resulting from complaint made by an officer or agent of any society of this state for the prevention of cruelty to animals for any offense specified in this section shall be paid to the society whose officer or agent made the complaint. 343.26 [Repealed 343.27 POISONING ANIMALS.

When necessary, a peace officer, animal control officer, or agent may deliver the animal to another person to be sheltered and cared for, and furnished with suitable food and drink. In all cases, the owner, if known, shall be immediately notified as provided in section 343.235, subdivision 3, and the person having possession of the animal, shall have a lien thereon for its actual costs of care and keeping and the expenses of the notice. If the owner or custodian is unknown and cannot by reasonable effort be ascertained, or does not, within ten days after notice, redeem the animal by paying the expenses authorized by this subdivision, the animal may be disposed of as provided in section 343.235. Subd. 2.Disposal of animals. Upon a proper determination by a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine, any animal taken into custody pursuant to subdivision 1 may be immediately disposed of when the animal is suffering and is beyond cure through reasonable care and treatment.

This presumption may be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence. Subd. 3.Presumption of training fighting birds. There is a rebuttable presumption that a bird has been trained or is being trained to fight if: (1) the bird exhibits fresh wounds, scarring, or other indications that the bird has been or will be used for fighting; or (2) the person possesses training apparatus, paraphernalia, or drugs known to be used to prepare birds to be fought. This presumption may be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence. Subd. 4.Peace officer duties. 8 Animals described in subdivisions 2 and 3 are dangerous weapons and constitute an immediate danger to the safety of humans. A peace officer or animal control authority may remove, shelter, and care for an animal found in the circumstances described in subdivision 2 or 3. If necessary, a peace officer or animal control authority may deliver the animal to another person to be sheltered and cared for. In all cases, the peace officer or animal control authority must immediately notify the owner, if known, as provided in subdivision 5. The peace officer, animal control authority, or other person assuming care of the animal shall have a lien on it for the actual cost of care and keeping of the animal. If the owner or custodian is unknown and cannot by reasonable effort be ascertained, or does not, within ten days after notice, redeem the animal by paying the expenses authorized by this subdivision, the animal may be disposed of as provided in subdivision 5. Subd. 5.Disposition. (a) An animal taken into custody under subdivision 4 may be humanely disposed of at the discretion of the jurisdiction having custody of the animal ten days after the animal is taken into custody, if the procedures in paragraph (c) are followed. (b) The owner of an animal taken into custody under subdivision 4 may prevent disposition of the animal by posting security in an amount sufficient to provide for the actual costs of care and keeping of the animal. The security must be posted within ten days of the seizure inclusive of the date of the seizure. If, however, a hearing is scheduled within ten days of the seizure, the security amount must be posted prior to the hearing. (c)(1) The authority taking custody of an animal under subdivision 4 must give notice of this section by delivering or mailing it to the owner of the animal, posting a copy of it at the place where the animal is taken into custody, or delivering it to a person residing on the property and telephoning, if possible. The notice must include: (i) a description of the animal seized; the authority and purpose for the seizure; the time, place, and circumstances under which the animal was seized; and the location, address, and telephone number of a contact person who knows where the animal is kept; (ii) a statement that the owner of the animal may post security to prevent disposition of the animal and may request a hearing concerning the seizure and impoundment and that failure to do so within ten days of the date of the notice will result in disposition of the animal; and (iii) a statement that all actual costs of the care, keeping, and disposal of the animal are the responsibility of the owner of the animal, except to the extent that a court or hearing officer finds that the seizure or impoundment was not substantially justified by law. The notice must also include a form that can be used by a person claiming an interest in the animal for requesting a hearing. (2) The owner may request a hearing within ten days of the date of the seizure. If requested, a hearing must be held within five business days of the request to determine the validity of the impoundment. The municipality taking custody of the animal or the municipality from which the animal was seized may either (i) authorize a licensed veterinarian with no financial interest in the matter or professional association with either party, or (ii) use the services of a hearing officer to conduct the hearing. An owner may appeal the hearing officer's decision to the district court within five days of the notice of the decision. (3) The judge or hearing officer may authorize the return of the animal if the judge or hearing officer finds that (i) the animal is physically fit, (ii) the person claiming an interest in the animal can and will provide the care required by law for the animal, and (iii) the animal has not been used for violent pitting or fighting. 9 (4) The person claiming an interest in the animal is liable for all actual costs of care, keeping, and disposal of the animal, except to the extent that a court or hearing officer finds that the seizure or impoundment was not substantially justified by law. The costs must be paid in full or a mutually satisfactory arrangement for payment must be made between the municipality and the person claiming an interest in the animal before the return of the animal to the person. Subd. 6.Photographs. (a) Photographs of animals seized during an investigation are competent evidence if the photographs are admissible into evidence under all the rules of law governing the admissibility of photographs into evidence. A satisfactorily identified photographic record is as admissible in evidence as the animal itself. (b) A photograph must be accompanied by a written description of the animals seized, the name of the owner of the animals seized, the date of the photograph, and the name, address, organization, and signature of the photographer. Subd. 7.Veterinary investigative report. (a) A report completed by a Minnesota licensed veterinarian following an examination of an animal seized during an investigation is competent evidence. A satisfactorily identified veterinary investigative report is as admissible in evidence as the animal itself. (b) The veterinary investigative report may contain a written description of the animal seized, the medical evaluation of the physical findings, the prognosis for recovery, and the date of the examination and must contain the name, address, veterinary clinic, and signature of the veterinarian performing the examination. 343.32 ARTIFICIALLY COLORED ANIMALS; SALE.

Neal, City Manager w 1�� e I� • ,,��Atl'crH ��Y�`, • IHHP 0w Agenda Item #: VIII. D. Action Discussion ❑ Date: March 17, 2015 Information ❑ Subject: Ordinance No. 2015 -06 Amending The Term Of The Electric Franchise Granted To Xcel Energy Company Action Requested: Approve Ordinance No. 2015 -06 Amending The Term Of The Electric Franchise Granted To Xcel Energy Company Information / Background: Xcel Energy's current franchise agreement with the City of Edina to operate a state regulated electrical utility on City -owned rights -of -way expires on August 15, 2015. The regulatory process to approve a renewal of the franchise requires the City to adopt a new ordinance 90 days prior to the expiration of the franchise. We can meet that timeline, but it would require the City Council to eliminate meaningful opportunities for public input on the matter. At the Council's Marc 3 meeting, you adopted a motion asking Xcel Energy to extend the current franchise's expiration date to November 15, 2015 in order to provide additional time for the City to prepare and adopt a new franchise renewal ordinance. Xcel Energy has agreed to the City's request. Adoption of Ordinance No. 2015 -06 will extend the franchise expiration date to November 15, 2015. 1 also told the Council Members at the March 3 meeting that I would present you with a proposal for how the City should go about preparing a new franchise renewal ordinance. The proposal is below: Process and Engagement Statement: Xcel Energy Franchise Renewal Mission: To create a new franchise agreement by and between Xcel Energy and the City of Edina. Completion: The process will be complete when the City Council has adopted the new franchise ordinance on August 5, 2015. Role of Council Members in Process: Provide input during Phase 1, but to refrain from participating in the process until the proposed renewal ordinance is presented to the Council for first reading in October.

E. Action ❑x Discussion ❑ Information ❑ Information / Background: On Feb. 17, the council awarded the Promenade Phase 4 Project to Meisinger Construction in the amount of $1,268,550.00. A copy of the staff report is attached. On Feb. 24, we received a letter from Meisinger Construction notifying us of a significant mathematical error in their bid. They are requesting we return their bid and bid bond ($63,427.50). A copy of the letter is also attached. Signed contracts and copies of their insurance have not been submitted. Representatives from the city, contractor, and design team met on Mar. 2, with legal consul to discuss the request. Reduced profit margins, construction schedule, construction creativity, sub - contractor management and the bid bond were discussed. The parties were not able to develop a plan in which Meisinger Construction would complete the project. Please recall we received three bids ranging from $1.27 to $1.53 million. Those bids expire on Apr. 5. Also recall the low bidder was 10% above the engineers estimate and additional funding was used from Park Dedication and TIF Funds to cover the overage. Much work has been completed thus far to get the project to this point and we feel this project is important to our park system in the SE part of Edina. We considered the following options prior to making a recommendation.

Project closer if not within original budget Staff is recommending Option #3 to rebid the project with a smaller scope to reduce impacts to limited funding sources. This option would complete the majority of the original project along the water feature while removing, modifying, or reviewing the following. • Realign the stream bed and trail to remove 3 bridges • Remove 2 porous pavers and bench areas • Reduce pond size by 10 -20% • Review pond bottom materials • Remove habitat garden or native plantings • Reduce tree transplants and new trees in habitat garden area • Modify construction schedule to give contractors more flexibility • Review color and stamp pattern — may be similar substitutes for less cost Attached is an exhibit showing the project changes listed above for our discussion. It will cost the City approximately $15,000 in professional services to re -work the bidding documents for Option #3. Legal counsel for the contractor has stated they are willing to litigate if the City tries to pull the bid bond. Our legal counsel feels we may win this case but that the time and expense may be greater than the value of the bid bond. Negotiations for a cash settlement have been ongoing. The contractor has verbally committed to a $10,000 cash settlement to cover a portion of the re -work. Attachments: Item VIII.E.

Costs came in 10% above the engineers estimate presented at the January 6 Council work session. Staff recommends award of the base bid to Meisinger Construction. The base bid includes natural rock for the sides of the pond and channel, with colored, stained and formed concrete for the channel and pond bottoms. Bid alternatives were included to give options for material type of the stream or pond bottom. Staff has reviewed the qualifications of Meisinger Construction and has determined that they are qualified to complete the project.

As we informed you, we have only yesterday found a significant mathematical error in our bid that regrettably requires us to request that the City of Edina return our bid and our bid bond to us. We informed you in our e-mail and phone call yesterday that we made an inadvertent clerical mistake and that this letter would be forthcoming. Let us explain the honest mistake we made so you can understand that our request to withdraw our bid and to have our bid bond returned is made with a valid reason. In our bid process we received bids from subcontractors. We then carried those bids we wanted to use through to our own bid worksheets to compute our bid price. We then carried our bid price over to the City's bid form, inserted the unit price and extensions in the form. The last number we fill in was mobilization, which is the difference between the bid price we computed on our bid worksheets less the extended unit prices. Now that you understand our process, this is what happened. Our subcontractor Tier One Construction submitted a proposal using the unit price bid form supplied by the City to give us pricing on the formliner, pavers, retaining wall, and boulders. Attachment 1 is bid we received from Tier One. Tier One gave us a price of "12969.60" for the boulders, based on a unit price of $162.12 per ton. At 800 tons, they should have quoted $129,696, not $12,969.60. Clearly, they misplaced a decimal point making their price for the 800 tons of landscape boulders understated by a significant amount. When we prepared our bid worksheet, we used the $12,969.60 amount quoted by Tier One for boulders, not realizing that Tier One made this mistake. Attachment 2 is our bid worksheet. On the page marked with a triangled -3 in the upper right hand corner, you see that we included Tier One costs for formliner ($77,386), mobilization ($2,500), and boulders ($12,969.60) at $92,856. We then used that figure to determine our total bid MEISII`IGER CONSTRUCTION 121 Bridgepoint Way South St. Paul, MN 55075 Phone: 651.452.4778 Fax: 651.452.4868 www.meisingerconstruction.com price (the number at the bottom of the page marked with a triangled -3 is carried through to the first page of Attachment 2). Our bid price was thus understated because we should have used $129,696 for the boulders, not $12,969.60. We didn't understand that Tier One had misplaced a decimal point until just yesterday. With our bid price set, we then filled out the City's bid form working backwards from our bid price. We filled in the unit prices, made the extensions, and then subtracted those amounts from the bid price to determine the mobilization. By working backwards in this manner, we used the correct unit price for boulders, but this ended up shorting us on mobilization because our bid price was set at the lower amount using the $12,969.60 extended figure provided by Tier One instead of the $129,696 figure they should have transcribed. Because of the above mentioned errors we wish to withdraw our bid and have our bid bond returned. The mistake is clerical in nature and is not an error of judgment on our part. The error is significant, approximately $100,000, which is a significant amount relative to the size of the project and represents our profit on the project. It would be unjust to hold us to such an inequitable bid. We brought this mistake to your attention as soon as possible, and feel that allowing us to withdraw our bid would have no prejudicial effect on the City. We also now see that the other bidders had significantly larger amounts for their mobilization than we did. A bid review meeting with the City and URS would have been welcome as it may have resulted in us discerning this mistake even earlier than we did. As mentioned above, we regret that this mistake occurred, but appreciate your consideration of our request. As the bid information we have provided is confidential and includes sensitive information, we would appreciate it if you would maintain its confidentiality and return it to us along with our bid and bid bond. If you have any questions please feel free to call.

Action ❑ Discussion ❑ Information ❑ Subject: Consider Bids For Stair Elevator Tower At 50th & France Business District Action Requested: Reject all bids from the Stair Elevator and consider alternative project. Information / Background: On August 20, 2013 City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility Study for the 50th & France Parking and way finding Improvement Project, Edina Improvement No. P -23. This report was completed and prepared and presented on January 21, 2014 by Kimley -Horn and Associates. Project P -23 was approved on March 4, 2014 by City Council, and up to $2.375 million in funding was authorized by the HRA. To date the City HRA has spent just over $1,550,000 to date on the first phases of the project. Bids were opened on February 10 for the Stair Elevator on the north side of the South Ramp. Details of the Bid Package analysis can be found in the table below. Contractor Morcon Construction Sheehy Construction American Liberty Construction Knutson Construction Black and Dew $1,429,073.00 $1,627,000.00 $1,726,700.00 $1,814,000.00 $1,860,000.00 The feasibility study construction cost estimate was approximately $850,000 and therefore the bid came in 168% higher than the feasibility study costs. In retrospect there were several contributing factors to the bids City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. - Edina, MN 55424 REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Page 2 coming in higher than originally anticipated. They range from concrete shortage, high premium for labor, unanticipated challenges regarding the elevator location, challenges regarding changes in building code, and ultimately the bidding climate. At this time Staff is recommending rejection of all bids and pursuing an alternate design that would accommodate patrons with mobility limits. Attached to the report is a conceptual study to identify alternative design feasibility.

The purpose of the study was to identify possible options and determine the geometric feasibility of said options to improve pedestrian accessibility to the second (2 "d) level of the South Ramp near the existing stair core located at the northeast corner of the South Ramp. Bill Neuendorf (City of Edina), Tim Barnes (City of Edina), Jerry Pertzsch (Kimley- Horn), Ben Henderson (Kimley -Horn) and Dan Green (MDA) met on site on February 26, 2015 to review possible options to improve the pedestrian access to the area noted above. Several possible options were identified. The identified options, as well as our geometric assessment of the feasibility of each option, are summarized below: 1. A switchback ramp from level 2 of the South Ramp to level 1, located north of the South Ramp and south of the Lund Food Holdings, Inc. (LFHI) building also known as the 3925 Building. a. Pros i. Appears to be geometrically feasible if we assume a 1' -0" depth of the ramp structure. Egress from the LFHI building must be maintained, which is the driver for the location of the ramp. b. Cons i. Structural feasibility is unknown. The presence of the tunnel below may make the structural support a challenge. Will likely not be able to cantilever off of the ramp, which introduces column supports as the main gravity load carrying members. ii. Column supports may affect egress from LFHI building. iii. Due to the required location of the ramp in order to maintain egress from the LFHI building, the touchdown point of the ramp will likely cut off two of the north -south movements from the South Ramp to 50th Street. The movement to the north from the South Ramp would now only be able to occur through the existing vestibule next to the stair core. iv. There may be aesthetic concerns to address with adjacent property owners. v. Code issues regarding enclosure of the ramp are unknown — proximity to two (2) adjacent buildings and crossing property lines may raise code issues that Kimley> »Horn Page 2 need to be resolved with the Building Official. Code required geometry for the ramp slope, landings and minimum dimensions was used to test feasibility. 2. A ramp from level 2 of the South Ramp to level 2 of the LFHI building, utilizing new and existing internal corridors of the LFHI building to gain access to the elevator in the LFHI building, which provides access to level 1. a. Pros i. Appears to be geometrically feasible. ii. Appears to be structurally feasible. iii. Very little aesthetic impacts to both the LFHI building and the South Ramp. b. Cons i. Will require close coordination with LFHI and would require that space in their building be allocated to the proposed new corridor. A detailed review of the internal space, mechanical, electrical and other systems and impacts thereon has not been completed at this time. ii. Will interrupt the LFHI building envelope and will require a fire door at the LFHI building. This would require review with LFHI and the Building Official. 3. A straight ramp from level 2, located directly adjacent to the existing stair core in the northeast corner of the South Ramp, sloping down to level 1 as it heads north in the alleyway between the LFHI building and the theater building. a. Pros i. Appears to be geometrically feasible. ii. Appears to be structurally feasible. b. Cons i. There may be aesthetic concerns to address with adjacent property owners. ii. Will require removal of the LFHI stairs on the east side of the walkway for the LFHI building, as the required headroom under the ramp, above the stairs, cannot be maintained. Egress width from Theater exits to public way must be maintained, which is the driver for the east -west location of the ramp in the alleyway. 4. A straight ramp from level 2, located west of the existing stair core, utilizing the roof of the existing canopy to the east of the LFHI building, then penetrating the side of the LFHI building to gain access to internal corridors of the LFHI building and the elevator in the LFHI building, which provides access to level 1. a. The structurally, architectural, aesthetic, and code feasibility concerns with this option indicate to Kimley -Horn that this option should not be considered a preferred option. No additional assessment of this option was completed. Attached to this memorandum you will find an exhibit that provides additional clarification and detail as to the required geometric layout for options 1, 2, and 3. Kimley> »Horn Page 3 Based on our geometric feasibility assessment of the identified convenience options, and the other feasibility considerations noted, it appears that option 1 may be the preferred option; however, Kimley -Horn would recommend that a comprehensive feasibility study, which would require additional review with the City, the Building Official, the adjacent property owners be completed in order to assess all other feasibility concerns with each option. Kimley -Horn has completed an Opinion of Probable Costs for options 1 and 2, as requested by the City. Included in the cost estimates is the replacement of the steel stairs at the northeast corner of the South Ramp. The probable costs that would be borne by the City are summarized as follows, and due to the unknowns, are shown as a cost range: Option 1: Construction Costs: $400,000 - $460,000 Construction Contingency: $35,000 - $40,000 Design and Construction Professional Fees/ Material Testing: $140,000 Total Cost Range: Option 2: $575,000 - $640,000 Construction Costs: $474,000 - $673,000 Construction Contingency: $41,000 - $57,000 Design and Construction Professional Fees / Material Testing: $100,000 LFHI Agreement Cost (Assumed): $50,000 Total Cost Range: $665,000 - $880,000 Please call me at 651- 643 -0411 or email me at Jerry.Pertzsch(o)kimley- horn.com if you have any questions.

The Recommended Bid is From: Communications & Technology Services Director Jennifer © Within Budget Bennerotte ❑ Not Within Budget Date: March 17, 2015 Subject: 2015 Quality of Life Survey Date Bid Opened or Quote Received: Bid or Expiration Date: February 2015 Company: Amount of Quote or Bid: Morris - Leatherman $28,000 National Research Center (National Citizen Survey) $12,510+ National Research Center (custom survey) $27,250 Recommended Quote or Bid: National Research Center custom survey for $27,250 General Information: The City of Edina is scheduled to complete its next Quality of Life survey this year. $30,000 has been budgeted for the project. Staff would like to administer the survey in May after the Edina Public Schools facilities referendum. Results would be made available sometime in July. Staff has secured proposals from Morris - Leatherman and the National Research Center (NRC) for administering the survey, resulting in three alternatives. Alternative 1 In past years, the City has used Morris - Leatherman (formerly Decision Resources) to complete its Quality of Life surveys. Morris - Leatherman is a local firm that conducts similar surveys in several other metro area cities, allowing us to compare our results to theirs. Morris - Leatherman would contact 400 randomly selected households in Edina to complete a telephone survey. Cost would be $25,000 for a 175- question survey or $28,000 for a 200 - question survey. The price includes a formal presentation to the City. Alternative 2 The City may wish to contract with the NRC to administer the survey. NRC partners with ICMA to administer surveys across the nation, giving its clients the ability to compare data to cities around the United States of America. NRC recommends a mailed survey to 1,500 randomly selected households to maximize the amount of data that can be collected. Cost for a custom survey is $24,250, plus $3,000 if an in- person City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 REQUEST FOR PURCHASE IN EXCESS OF $20,000 /CHANGE ORDER Page 2 presentation of the results is requested. If the City wants a survey via telephone, cost would be $33,345 for 400 20- minute interviews with residents. Minnesota clients completing custom surveys include Beltrami County, Blaine, Carver County, Dakota County, Eden Prairie, Inver Grove Heights, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, New Brighton, Olmsted County, Scott County, Shorewood, St. Louis County and Washington County. Alternative 3 NRC also offers the "National Citizen Survey." Base cost for the template survey is $12,510. There are add - on options such as $1,665 for each open -ended question or $743 for subgroup comparison reports. Minnesota clients completing the National Citizen Survey include Albert Lea, Bloomington, Chanhassen, Duluth, Hutchinson, Lakeville, Maplewood, Ramsey, St. Cloud and Victoria. Staff Recommendation Though we are appreciative of the good work Morris - Leatherman has done for Edina in the past, staff recommends the City work with NRC to complete a custom survey in 2015, allowing us to compare survey results against our own previous results and with cities locally and across the nation. NRC offers sophisticated tools for viewing the survey data and reports. If approved, NRC would begin crafting the survey instrument and mailing materials this month. A pre- notification postcard would be sent to potential respondents in late April or early May, with the first wave of surveys sent after the bond referendum May 5. NRC recommends five weeks of data collection to maximize response. NRC would coordinate data analysis and write its report in June and deliver a final report and presentation to the City in July.

Neal; Ann Kattreh; Cary Teague Subject: Fred Richards Dear Mayor Hovland and City Council Members, At tonight's City Council meeting I had hoped to be able to speak during the "Concerns of Residents" period but I have my daughter's hockey banquet of which I am one of the coaches. Therefore I am writing this email to express my concerns about the Fred Richards property and the City's current plan to essentially let it sit vacant for 2015. I am fully aware that City Council voted a year ago to close the golf course after the 2014 season. However, it does not make sense to me why the City would choose to close the course during the 2015 season when Braemar Executive will be closed from the approximate dates of July 1, 2015 -June 2016. 1 know that the City intends to adapt the Clunie course into a par 3 course but I don't believe the results of this will be successful. Regarding the Three Rivers Trail that may or may not be constructed this summer my understanding is that it can run along the south end of the property and does not need to run through the middle of Fred Richards. I respectfully ask that the City Council reconsider two things. First is to keep Fred Richards open until the new Par 3 at Braemar is open or at a minimum through the 2015 season. The second request is that City Council reconsider the permanent closing of Fred Richards until at least the Master Park Plan is completed later this year and a more definitive idea is known for the Fred Richards property and the costs for that plan. Myself and many other residents (and non- residents) are still dismayed by how City Staff could recommend closing Fred Richards, and certain Council members could agree, without having any solid idea on what the park would be repurposed as or more importantly what the costs to repurpose would be and what the annual maintenance costs would be. You have heard this many times but I will say it again, the process was flawed and was essentially performed backwards. Along with my request above to reconsider the closing of Fred Richards I would ask that certain members of Staff and Council reexamine this issue with a clear and objective mind. I know that money has been spent and would be lost if the decision to close Fred Richards was reversed. However the cost would be far less than what the costs will be to close and repurpose the land. Simply stated it is never to late to make the right decision. Thank you for your time and consideration of my request.

Hovland is one of 17 elected officials on the 33- member board, which helps shape transportation plans and reviews and selects local transportation projects for federal funding. "I have the utmost respect for and confidence in Mayor Hovland," said Duininck. "He is an elected official who brings local government experience, while at the same time has the ability to look at issues through a regional lens. Jim is thoughtful and reasoned. He is knowledgeable about transportation issues. He has a leadership style that brings people together to work toward consensus and I know he will do a great job." Hovland has served as Edina's mayor since 2005, and was first elected to the Edina City Council in 1997. He has served on the TAB for a decade and is one of 10 city officials appointed to the board by Metro Cities, an association of metropolitan municipalities. "I am honored to be considered for this appointment by the Council," said Hovland. "Transportation infrastructure in the state and region is aging and existing funding resources, by necessity, are increasingly being dedicated to system preservation, with little funding thereafter available for necessary system expansion in the metro. "Working with my very capable colleagues at the TAB, I welcome the opportunity to apply my local and regional experience to the challenge of ensuring transportation funding resources are allocated and directed in a manner that is balanced and best meets the overall needs of the region," said Hovland. The TAB chair is chosen from among the board's membership, which is spelled out in state statute. TAB bylaws state the board chair "shall be recognized as a leader in the community and shall have demonstrated a sensitive insight and an aggressive concern toward the larger issues in the metropolitan area." Four citizen members to be appointed: The Council, at its March 11 meeting, is also expected to approve four other appointments to the TAB from Districts E, F, G, and H in which there was a vacancy or the term has expired. The four districts serve primarily the north, east, and southeast metro. • Anani d'Almeida, Coon Rapids, a reappointment to District E, which includes most of Anoka County and part of Ramsey County. • Patricia Schweitz, White Bear Lake, to District F, which includes parts of Anoka and Ramsey counties, and most of Washington County. • Suyapa Miranda, Saint Paul, to District G, which includes parts of Dakota and Washington counties and most of Ramsey County. • Peter Dugan, Eagan, to District H, which includes most of Dakota County and part of Scott County. Local elected officials, citizens, serve together on TAB TAB is composed of elected officials, representatives of government agencies involved in transportation issues, citizen members, and members who represent transportation modes, such as transit, freight, and non - motorized modes. The board, established in legislation, qualifies the metro area to receive federal funding. The Metropolitan Council appoints the eight citizen members to the TAB, the two transit representatives, and the representative for non - motorized transportation. The Council also appoints one of its own 16 members to TAB and names the Chair. Visit the Council's website for more on TAB. TAB districts are composed of two Metropolitan Council districts. The Metropolitan Council is the regional planning organization for the seven - county metro area. It runs the regional bus and light -rail system, collects and treats wastewater and coordinates water resources preservation, plans regional parks, and administers funds that provide housing opportunities for low- and moderate - income individuals and families, The 17- member Metropolitan Council is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the governor.

The state legislature created TAB to ensure compliance with federal rules and regulations on urban transportation planning and programming. 2. Why was the TAB established? In 1974, federal law changed to require that governing bodies of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) include local elected officials in the transportation decision - making process. Since the Council, as the regional transportation planning agency, was and is composed of members appointed by the Governor, TAB was created to comply with federal law. The Council, in conjunction with TAB, serves as the designated MPO and receives federal transportation funds. 3. Who serves on the TAB? TAB's membership is spelled out in state law. Minnesota Statute 473.146 Subd. 4 establishes the composition of the TAB. The TAB is intended to elicit public participation and designed to be broad in its participation and perspective. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=473.146 The statute states that: The Council shall establish an advisory body consisting of citizens and representatives of municipalities, counties, and state agencies in fulfillment of the planning responsibilities of the Council. The membership... must consist of: (1) the commissioner of transportation or the commissioner's designee; (2) the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency or the commissioner's designee; (3) one member of the Metropolitan Airports Commission appointed by the commission; (4) one person appointed by the council to represent nonmotorized transportation; (5) one person appointed by the commissioner of transportation to represent the freight transportation industry; (6) two persons appointed by the council to represent public transit; (7) ten elected officials of cities within the metropolitan area, including one representa- tive frorn each first -class city, appointed by the Association of Metropolitan Munici- palities; J (8) one member of the county board of each county in the seven - county metropoli- tan area, appointed by the respective county boards; (9) eight citizens appointed by the council, one from each council precinct; and (10) one member of the council, appointed by the council. The council shall appoint a chair from arnong the members of the advisory body. M.ETR0P0LI1'AN C 0 U N C I L 4. Can the TAB influence the decision about who serves as TAB chair? Yes. TAB can nominate at least one member of the board to serve as chair and forward the nomination to the Council as an advisory comment. The TAB bylaws state the board chair "shall be recognized as a leader in the community and shall have demonstrated a sensitive insight and an aggressive concern toward the larger issues in the metropolitan area." The bylaws require the Board Chair to act as a liaison between the Board and Council and convey to the Council the collective views of the Board unless qualifying the remarks as his or her own. 5. What is TAB's role? TAB advises the Council and Minnesota Department of Transportation on transportation issues involving the regional highway, public transit and airport systems, as well as bike and pedestrian facilities. A key responsibility of the Council's TAB is to solicit, review, and evaluate local project applications for federal funding. The TAB selects projects for funding and the Council must concur with the project selections to include them in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which is a federally required short -range investment plan for the region. The Council cannot pick and choose arnong TAB's selected projects, but must concur with, or reject the entire TAB selection. The TAB also reviews and comments on the Transportation Policy Plan (TPP). The TPP is the region's long - range transportation investment plan. The plan is federally required and must be updated every four years. The TPP can be amended as needed and must be "fiscally constrained," which means it must be based on available funding. 6. What is the Regional Solicitation? In the Regional Solicitation process, eligible applicants are urged to apply for federal transportation funds. Eligible applicants are metro area cities, counties, and townships, state agencies, colleges and universities, school districts, American Indian tribal governments, transit providers, private nonprofit organizations, and park districts. About $150 million is available in the current solicitation for 2018- 19.The solicitation typically occurs every two years. In this case, however, the solicitation was delayed while the Council, TAB, and other transportation officials and stakeholders conducted a comprehensive review of the solicitation process and the criteria by which the TAB evaluates applications for funding. Applicants apply for local roadway, transit, and bike and pedestrian projects. This year's process builds in increased flexibility so the TAB can award: • 48 0/o-68% of the available funds to road projects. • 22 % -33% to transit projects. • 10% -20% to bike and pedestrian projects. Greater flexibility gives TAB the ability to award funds to the strongest, most viable projects that offer the most benefit to the region. 7. What is TAB's structure? The TAB has a standing Executive Committee, which primarily sets the agenda for upcoming meetings. The TAB receives technical input and expertise from its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). TAC is composed of 29 professional staff from city and county governments and the agencies involved in transportation in the seven - county region. The TAC has two standing committees, the Funding and Programming Committee and the Planning Committee, as well as ad hoc multi -modal task forces. 8. Is county representation on the TAB in proportion to the region's population? No. The makeup of the TAB is described in statute and reflects a wide range of participation and perspectives. Each county has one representative on the board. TAB also includes 10 elected city officials, so the majority of TAB members are elected officials. 9. What portion of the region's transportation budget does the TAB allocate through the Regional Solicitation? $150 million in the current solicitation is a lot of money. But to lend greater context, federal dollars that TAB will allocate to 2040 accounts for about 3 percent of all the transportation funding that will be available to the region. Due to constitutional dedications and specific federal and state allocation formulas, the vast majority of the revenues expected to be available to the region are dedicated funds that cannot be moved from one spending category to another. State highway revenues cannot be spent on transit, and transit revenues are not available to the state highway system. The one source of "flexible" funding available to the region is through the allocation of federal funds by TAB through the Regional Solicitation process. In this competitive process, TAB allocates funds to local and state roadways, transit and bicycle and pedestrian projects. Over the tirne period of the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan, approximately $2.2 billion of "flexible" federal funding is expected to be available through the Regional Solicitation. 10. Does the TAB have staff? There is a TAB Coordinator. Because TAB is an advisory body rather than an agency with employees, the TAB coordinator is a Council employee. However, the TAB Chair hires the coordinator, with the Board's approval. The coordinator serves at the pleasure of the board. 11. Is it possible to change the composition of TAB? Yes. However, a change in TAB would constitute a redesignation of the MPO by the Federal Highway Administration. Federal law requires that the Governor and cities that make up 75% of the metro area population, including Minneapolis, would need to approve of any change, along with the Minnesota legislature. **' More detailed information about transportation planning is included in the Transportation Planning and Programming Guide for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, November 2013 Metropolitan Council 390 Robert Street North Saint Paul, MN 55101 Main: 651.60:1..1000 TTY: 651.291.0904 Public Information: 651.602.1500 public.infa�metc. state. mn.us Heather Branictin From: Public Grandview / Citizens for a Better Grandview < contact= publicgrandview .com @mail67.ati91.mcsv.net> on behalf of Public Grandview / Citizens for a Better Grandview <contact @publicgrandview.com> Sent: Friday, March 06, 2015 6:54 PM To: Edina Mail Subject: Update on Grandview Redevelopment Follow Up Flag: Fallow up Flag Status: Flagged PUBLIC GRANDVIEW MARCH ii MEETING DISCOVERY SESSION March 11, 2015 7:00 -9:00 PM Public Works & Park Maintenance Facility 7450 Metro Blvd. )tom 1 SUPPORT THE CAUSE Endorse the carni.p n1» 0 FO1, LOWonFACEBOOK • Please Attend the Meeting on 3 -11 Please plan on attending the next public meeting about Grandview is next Wednesday, March 11.

I, along with a company called Simon Says Give, are throwing a fairly large event to raise money for education in India. Given India's rigid social class system, it is very hard for impoverished individuals to rise above their financial position. As a group, we are trying to fight this burden they have been pinned with. The event is on June 13th of this year. It is taking place at East Ridge High School and all proceeds will go to improve education standards for India and Minnesota. The actual event will be a large dance festival with a couple of dancing and singing performances. The event ticket will also include food. This is what we have posted on our Facebook page, "Join the youth group Educate for Life from the YMCA and Woodbury Community as they partner with Simon Says Give for a dance fundraiser to support kids going back to school in MN and in India!! 50% of the proceeds will stay in MN and 50% will go to India! Our first Global Initiative!" Our main goal right now is getting as many people to come as possible and spread the word. Any way in which you could help us do that would be great. Thanks!

Have you had a chance yet to review the proclamation request I e- mailed on February 18? For your convenience, I have attached a sample proclamation to this e-mail, along with a joint proclamation recently made by the cities of Moorhead and Dilworth, MN and Fargo and West Fargo, ND. We are happy with the response we've received from mayors throughout Minnesota, but would love to have Edina onboard as well. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this decision easier for you. Best, Mikel J. McLaughlin Founding Member Day Without Violence Facebook QTwitter is PURPOSE: Our organization, Day Without Violence, seeks to establish September 29, 2015 (if not every year thereafter) as the Edina Day Without Violence. Establishing the Edina Day Without Violence is part of a coordinated effort to have each city within Minnesota establish a citywide day without violence on September 29, followed by a statewide day without violence on September 30, and the National Day Without Violence on October 1. On October 2, the United States, along with the other countries of the world, will celebrate the U.N. International Day of Non - Violence, already established on October 2. PROCLAMATION: Whereas: Edina does not have a day to commemorate and encourage non - violence; and Whereas: Other cities have established days /weeks to celebrate non - violence; and Whereas: Edina values and strives for neighborhoods free from the harmful effects of violence; and Whereas: Edina prides itself on being a leader and example to other communities; and Whereas: Day Without Violence is committed to having each city within Minnesota proclaim a citywide day without violence on September 29; and Whereas: Day Without Violence is committed to having each state proclaim a statewide day without violence on or about September 30; and Whereas: Day Without Violence is committed to having the United States proclaim a nationwide day without violence on October 1, to be known as the National Day Without Violence; and. Whereas: Minnesota, along with the rest of these United States, can join with other nations to celebrate, on October 2, the United Nations International Day of Non - Violence. Now, Therefore, I, James Hovland, Mayor of Edina, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, September 29, 2015, as the: Edina Day Without Violence OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION CITIES OFMOORHEAD, DILWORTH, FARGO, AND WEST FARGO WHEREAS, all citizens have a right to live in their homes and community free from violence and fear of violence; and WHEREAS, the problem of violence requires a collective community response to ensure safety for victims, accountability for perpetrators, and safe futures for all people; and WHEREAS, the reduction of violence improves the quality of life for all families and individuals; and WHEREAS, Day Without Violence is committed to having each city within Minnesota proclaim a citywide day without violence on September 29; each state proclaim a day without violence on September 30; and the United States of America proclaim National Day Without Violence on October 1; and WHEREAS, the United States of America, can join other nations to celebrate on October 2 the United Nations International Day of Non - Violence; and WHEREAS, the Cities of Moorhead, Dilworth, Fargo, and West Fargo join those fighting for this cause to promote greater awareness. NOW, THEREFORE, We, Del Rae Williams, Mayor of the City of Moorhead; Chad Olson, Mayor of the City of Dilworth; Tim Mahoney, Mayor of the City of Fargo, and Richard Mattern, Mayor of the City of West Fargo, do hereby proclaim September 29, 2015. DAY WITHOUT VIOLENCE in the Cities of Moorhead and Dilworth, Minnesota, and Fargo and West Fargo, North Dakota and call upon the citizens to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have set our hands and caused the Official Seals the Cities of Moorhead and Dilworth, State of Minnesota, and Fargo and West Fargo, State of North Dakota, to be affixed this 15th day of March, 2015.

This document contained nine objectives, one of which was to "Develop a stronger working relationship with Edina Public Schools." In the Issues section, it was noted that "The quality of the community is tied to the quality of its school system" and that "Both entities have a common "customer" and rely on funding from nearly the same group of taxpayers." This document was amended in 2003 and the objective was changed to: "Support Edina Public Schools in maintaining an exemplary public education system for the community." By now you have probably come to appreciate the level of frustration that is experienced by residents of the City of Edina who live outside of the boundaries of Edina Public Schools when the leadership of the school district provides enhanced access to the children of their employees but refuses to do the same for all children who live within the Edina community. This level of frustration is only exacerbated when we are confronted by decisions, deeds, and declarations made by City leaders and staff who are under the false impression that the dream we share with Mayor Hovland is already a reality. Yes, it is true that 73% of the households within the City of Edina included within the boundaries of Edina Public Schools may well benefit from a "common" approach. However, it is also true that the 27% of Edina households not included in the common boundaries — a significant number — cannot be accurately described as "nearly the same group." As the City has moved forward on a multitude of initiatives guided by Vision 20/20, it has become abundantly clear that the desires of City leaders and staff to define the "Edina Brand" by focusing exclusively on Edina Public Schools have been dismissive of the educational needs of the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools. Time and again, at events such as the State of the Community, we hear City leaders and staff use terms such as "our school system ", "our superintendent of schools ", and "our board of education" which are always singular and possessive in nature. Does this mean that the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools have no representation or advocates within the City government when it comes to the education of their children? For their part, representatives of Edina Public Schools employ rhetoric that expresses both an appreciation for support from the community and a commitment to the Edina community. At every State of the Community since 2010, Edina Public Schools Superintendent Ric Dressen has extolled the mission statement of the school district which has been in place since 1989 and reads: "The mission of Edina Public Schools, working in partnership with the family and the community, is to educate all individuals..." This mission statement is now referred to as "All for All." During the 2012 State of the Community, Superintendent Dressen stated: "Edina Public Schools wants to be, and believe we need to be, the educational resource for this entire community" and "make sure we serve as an educational resource for everyone." And yet, our common dream that all kids who live in Edina can go to Edina schools lives on, but remains unfulfilled. Now the City is undertaking "Vision Edina" which is intended to supplant Vision 20/20 and guide the City in its strategic planning for the near - and long -term. This "vision" and strategic framework is intended to be "broad -based and inclusive" but, once again, the educational focus of this document rests exclusively on Edina Public Schools which means that the strategic planning of the City will remain willingly "blind" to the educational needs of the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools. (Indeed, the Future iQ Partners' employee who was instrumental in producing the initial reports that are posted on the City's website had no knowledge that the City was served by more than one school district.) We have reached a watershed moment in the history of the City of Edina. Crafting a strategic vision and the subsequent planning based on an assumption that residents of the City of Edina and Edina Public Schools are "nearly the same" is not acceptable to the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools. Continuing support for Edina Public Schools in maintaining an exemplary public education system for the community is a worthy objective for the City to pursue but requires that the leadership of Edina Public Schools amends the district policy to provide priority access for all members of the Edina community.

This document contained nine objectives, one of which was to "Develop a stronger working relationship with Edina Public Schools." In the Issues section, it was noted that "The quality of the community is tied to the quality of its school system" and that "Both entities have a common "customer" and rely on funding from nearly the same group of taxpayers." This document was amended in 2003 and the objective was changed to: "Support Edina Public Schools in maintaining an exemplary public education system for the community." By now you have probably come to appreciate the level of frustration that is experienced by residents of the City of Edina who live outside of the boundaries of Edina Public Schools when the leadership of the school district provides enhanced access to the children of their employees but refuses to do the same for all children who live within the Edina community. This level of frustration is only exacerbated when we are confronted by decisions, deeds, and declarations made by City leaders and staff who are under the false impression that the dream we share with Mayor Hovland is already a reality. Yes, it is true that 73% of the households within the City of Edina included within the boundaries of Edina Public Schools may well benefit from a "common" approach. However, it is also true that the 27% of Edina households not included in the common boundaries — a significant number — cannot be accurately described as "nearly the same group." As the City has moved forward on a multitude of initiatives guided by Vision 20/20, it has become abundantly clear that the desires of City leaders and staff to define the "Edina Brand" by focusing exclusively on Edina Public Schools have been dismissive of the educational needs of the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools. Time and again, at events such as the State of the Community, we hear City leaders and staff use terms such as "our school system ", "our superintendent of schools ", and "our board of education" which are always singular and possessive in nature. Does this mean that the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools have no representation or advocates within the City government when it comes to the education of their children? For their part, representatives of Edina Public Schools employ rhetoric that expresses both an appreciation for support from the community and a commitment to the Edina community. At every State of the Community since 2010, Edina Public Schools Superintendent Ric Dressen has extolled the mission statement of the school district which has been in place since 1989 and reads: "The mission of Edina Public Schools, working in partnership with the family and the community, is to educate all individuals..." This mission statement is now referred to as "All for All." During the 2012 State of the Community, Superintendent Dressen stated: "Edina Public Schools wants to be, and believe we need to be, the educational resource for this entire community" and "make sure we serve as an educational resource for everyone." And yet, our common dream that all kids who live in Edina can go to Edina schools lives on, but remains unfulfilled. Now the City is undertaking "Vision Edina" which is intended to supplant Vision 20/20 and guide the City in its strategic planning for the near- and long -term. This "vision" and strategic framework is intended to be "broad -based and inclusive" but, once again, the educational focus of this document rests exclusively on Edina Public Schools which means that the strategic planning of the City will remain willingly "blind" to the educational needs of the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools. (Indeed, the Future iQ Partners' employee who was instrumental in producing the initial reports that are posted on the City's website had no knowledge that the City was served by more than one school district.) We have reached a watershed moment in the history of the City of Edina. Crafting a strategic vision and the subsequent planning based on an assumption that residents of the City of Edina and Edina Public Schools are "nearly the same" is not acceptable to the 27% of Edina households who live outside the borders of Edina Public Schools. Continuing support for Edina Public Schools in maintaining an exemplary public education system for the community is a worthy objective for the City to pursue but requires that the leadership of Edina Public Schools amends the district policy to provide priority access for all members of the Edina community.

I am a resident of West Highwood Drive which has the majority of the the street in Edina school district. We live in the dead end part which is Hopkins. The other nearby street, Pine Grove also a dead end, has houses on one side of the street in Edina and the other in Hopkins. These are two dead end streets constituting a neighborhood. Surely a creative solution could be worked out. I was totally unaware of the other bisected schools district solutions but now that I am I see no reason why that could not be done in our area.

I find myself unconsciously compelled to explain to any new people we meet that though we live in Edina we are in a 'that' section that is not part of the school system.

Our section of Edina (which still votes for city offices in Edina) have been given excuses by our Mayor, City Council and School board members as to why we cannot reach an amicable agreement with the Hopkins school district for residents of our part of the city, including "this would be precedent setting'. I believe that the precedent has already been set and the expectation for our neighborhood is that we should be treated in the same way as the 71 France future citizens of our city.

I think that you had asked my husband if he was related to David Minge, and then my husband and you had talked a little about politics. Overall I've been an enthusiastic supporter of you since we moved to Edina. In 2012, I encouraged many of my friends and neighbors in Parkwood Knolls to vote for you. I know that several people who were undecided ended up voting for you, based at least partly on conversations I had with them. More recently, I've been hoping you might organize a meeting with Superintendent Dressen, Dr. Schultz and Mr. Maxwell regarding the Hopkins/Edina school district line issue. I'd been a little disappointed that it hadn't happened thus far, but my understanding was that you didn't feel it was in your jurisdiction to organize this type of meeting. With that in mind, you can imagine that it was rather strange to learn that a meeting just took place between city and school district leaders of Edina with their Richfield counterparts regarding the Richfield/Edina school district line. I spoke with a friend this morning about the seeming disconnect between the two situations. Her opinion was that, when large commercial development interests are at stake, you're willing to get involved. However, when common residents ask for your help, you are less concerned. She pointed out that the same sort of commercial /developer bias is apparent in how the city council has seemed to favor commercial interests over public sentiment with respect to the Grandview development. Again, the commercial developers seem to hold sway. She mentioned still more examples, and frankly, I didn't know what to say. I sympathize with the pressure that you are probably feeling between different groups of people. It seems that no position can make everyone happy. I recall that, back when my father -in -law was in Congress, he felt this same sort of pressure. Before taking a vote that he knew would disappoint certain individuals - -such as relatives, close friends and major supporters - -he would often call those individuals. Then he'd tell them how he was going to vote, and explain that he knew they would be disappointed, so he wanted to be the one to let them know. I imagine that some people argued with him, but I think that most people appreciated, and were maybe a little surprised, that he'd been so forthright. The only reason I bring this up is because it showed me how excruciating these votes must have been for him. It was almost as if he was calling people to tell them that a family member was very ill. In any case, the reason I've written to you now is to pass along my hope that, in spite of whatever pressures and potentially awkward situations may exist, you will try to keep in mind the sentiments of your constituents on the school district boundary line issue, the Grandview development, and all the other challenging issues that almost constantly arise. I hope you enjoy this glorious day! Thank you, Amy Minge (5225 Evanswood Ln.) March 13, 2015 Ms. Deb Mangen Edina City Clerk Edina, MN Dear Deb: On March 11, 2015, the City of Edina and Frauenshuh Corporation held a GrandView Discovery Session at the Edina Public Works, 7450 Metro Boulevard Edina. At that session, Frauenshuh presented 3 development scenarios to the attendees. Meeting attendees were handed 3 dots to vote for their choices. Voting for none of the above was not presented as an option_ Citizens for a Better GrandView and Public GrandView volunteers, believing that everyone should have a choice in this process, collected the dots of those who wished to express their choice for "none of the 3 scenarios ". Volunteers only accepted dots (votes) from people in the room. We did not take any other dots. Our group collected 130 dots for "none of the above (scenarios) ". We also photographed all of the consultant's boards at the end of the evening. According to our photographs, the counts were as follows: Central Civic Cascade: 13 South Civic Center. 14 North Tower: 26 Arts and Culture: 4 Multi generational Community Center 3 Fitness /Wellness 6 We would like to have the copy of our "dot board" included as part of the public record for the March 11, 2015 GrandView Discovery Session to fully reflect the views of the people assembled in the room. We also request that you include this letter with the City Council's packet for March 17, 2015. Thank you for your assistance.

Neal Subject: Grandview Discovery Session March 11 Please include this email in the City Council correspondence packet. Thank you. Dear City Council: Attendees at the March 11 Grandview "Discovery Session" were shown three possible redevelopment scenarios for the former public works site. Boards showing each scenario were setup around the room and attendees were given three dots to use to vote for the scenario(s) they liked best. Someone asked what they should do with the dots if they didn't like any of the scenarios. The consultant said, "If you don't like any of them, you can put your dots in your pockets and walk home." What good is public engagement when the process is set up to register only support and not also dissent? That's how dictators run elections. At some point, you'll probably receive a report on this meeting. The report will tell you that all of the scenarios were supported, but people liked the "North Tower" scenario the most. It would be true, but it's also misleading. Rather than see meeting attendees walk out the door with their votes in their pockets, a few residents collected dots from those who wanted to vote for "None of the above." At the end of the evening, there were 53 votes for all three scenarios combined and 130 votes for "None." The report should say that the majority of people at the meeting disliked all three scenarios. That would not only be true, but also honest. Let's have an honest public engagement process. Let's fairly represent people's points of view. Let's allow all opinions to be heard. Let's look not only for the information that confirms our conclusions, but also the information that challenges them. In short, if at the end of this trip you arrive at the destination you intended, then you didn't lead. You just went ahead. If you want redevelopment at Grandview to incite economic activity in the area, we can show you how a major new public realm amenity such as a community center can do that. If you want the public amenity to be self- sustaining, we can show you how program elements can be selected to ensure profitability. If you want restaurants, retail and a park- and -ride, we can show you how these can be compatible with a community center. If you want private money to offset public costs, we can talk about a capital campaign. Edina is a generous community. But you have to be willing to have this conversation and explore these ideas in good faith. My recommendation is to suspend the development partner process now, before more work is done to refine the scenario (not plural, because all scenarios were a version of the same thing). Spend six months authentically exploring the idea of a community center. Two years from now, when you drive by the former public works site, what do you want to see? Uninspiring infill development that you could find in any city, or a large sign with a schematic for a vibrant new community center and a fundraising thermometer showing how much private money has been raised? A comprehensive community center will add to our community for years to come. Shouldn't that be your legacy?

New listing and pending sale activity both reached multi -year highs in February. Metro-wide, February pending sales were the highest they've been since 2005. Despite rising prices throughout most of the metro, the affordability environment actually increased from last year, thanks to lower interest rates. Residential real estate performance has always been closely linked to the broader economy and job growth. Annualized GDP growth was 2.2 percent in Q4 -2014 but was an even stronger 5.0 percent in 03 -2014. Private job growth has accelerated to roughly 300,000 jobs per month nationally. At 3.3 percent as of the latest data, the Twin Cities 13- County MSA boasts the lowest unemployment rate of any major metro area in the U.S. Our strong and diverse economy continues to outperform the nation, which should give housing a boost in 2015.

The council I believe, should show leadership and ask their citizens to pay for it through their taxes as surrounding communities have done. I find it appalling that you will upgrade the Braemar Hockey Arena area and raise our taxes but not asked us if we want to pay for it, but not pay for a community center that all can enjoy. I know community centers don't win Hockey championships and raise the profile of the city. However, please remember the citizens of this community who do not have the financial means. A community center is welcoming symbol and doesn't Edina want to known as welcoming too?

We see and feel the effects of the ongoing drought in our cities, towns, and rural areas in startling ways. In light of this reality, we are proud to report that the cities of Dallas and Corpus Christi were both awarded prizes in the National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation, sponsored by the Wyland Foundation. To participate in National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation, mayors of American cities must encourage their residents to take a series of informative, easy -to -use online pledges about conserving water, energy, and other natural resources. Winning cities are those with the highest percentage of residents who take the pledge. When the results were tallied, the City of Dallas took top honors over other cities with a population exceeding 600,000, and Corpus Christi beat out the competition in the 300,000 - 599.999 population category. "The City of Dallas has a proud history of water conservation efforts, so it was a no- brainer to participate in the 2014 National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation," said Mike Rawlings, Mayor of Dallas. The challenge had direct participation from more than 100 U.S. mayors, from San Diego to Miami, who encouraged TEXAS TOWN & CITY - 2 2 • FEBURARY 2015 their residents to participate. More than 23,000 people across the nation pledged to take 277,742 specific actions over the next year to change the Way they use Water in their home, yard, and community. By sticking to their commitments, the collective efforts of all the residents across the country Who participated will reduce national water waste by 1.4 billion gallons, reduce waste sent to Landfills by 36 million pounds, eliminate more than 179 thousand pounds of hazardous waste from entering our watersheds and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5.3 billion pounds. "Corpus Christi is one of the top water planners in the state, however given our growing economy and the unpredictability of Mother Nature, conservation should be 365 days out of the year," said Corpus Christi Mayor Nelda Martinez. "I congratulate our citizens for making their water pledge, resulting in Corpus Christi winning the national competition for our region. Winning this competition raises the awareness of every citizen doing their part to conserve our precious water resources." The other top winning cities included: Huntington Beach, California; Bremerton, Washington; and Crete, Nebraska. Residents from the five winning cities that took part in the online competition were placed in a drawing for a brand new Toyota Prius Plug -In. By coincidence, a Corpus Christi resident actually won the car! "Conservation is our cheapest source of water supply and is an important part of our Long -term strategy as we Look to provide for our future generations. Winning the challenge demonstrates that Dallas residents are actively engaged in saving water and recognize that adequate water supplies and environmental sustainabiLity are key factors to maintaining Dallas' world -class status," continued Mayor Rawlings. For winning the Mayor's Challenge, each city was awarded a six -month contract with WaterSmart Software, a leading behavioraLwater efficiency platform. WaterSmart's products help water utilities engage customers, increase water -use efficiency, and reduce operational and capital expenses. The National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation, now in its fourth year, is held every April.

PAUL, Minn. — Shivani No6kala, 17, of Golden Valley and Alanna Worrall, 12, of Brooklyn Park today were named Minnesota's top two youth volunteers of 2015 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. Shivani was nominated by Breck School in Golden Valley, and Alanna was nominated by Anoka Middle School in Anoka. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, now in its 20th year, is conducted by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). Shivani, a junior at Breck School, started an indoor, vertical community garden at her school and leads a group of 10 students who work on the garden every day to provide fresh produce for a local food shelf. While Shivani's homeroom class was volunteering at the FOCUS Minnesota food shelf, her teacher led discussions about hunger and mentioned that community gardening can play an important role in fighting hunger. "This moment sparked a call to action within myself," said Shivani. "I thought our school could play a major part in donating not just food, but fresh produce, to those in need." Shivani embarked on a year -long independent study of community gardening, conducting research, networking with individuals and organizations across the country, and hosting a cross - community learning event. Then she persuaded her school to let her install an indoor garden with support and advice from a teacher, a gardening specialist and a couple of nonprofit organizations. Shivani recruited 10 fellow students to help her maintain the garden and donate its produce to feed the hungry. They are now assisting community gardens in — more — MINNESOTA'S TOP YOUTH VOLUNTEERS SELECTED/Page Two other locations, and helping the city of Golden Valley start one. "Community gardening involves people directly making a change, and having the ability to do so regardless of their abilities and background," said Shivani. Alanna, a sixth - grader at Anoka Middle School for the Arts: Washington Campus, assembles "Feel Better" baskets and provides other items to help distract sick children from the fear they often experience in the hospital. When Alanna had outpatient surgery at Gillette Children's Hospital in 2009, "I was really scared," she said, but hospital staff members made her smile and laugh by giving her stickers, a blanket and a stuffed animal. Alanna wanted to do the same for other kids in the hospital, so several months later, she emptied her piggy bank to make four Easter baskets for young patients at Gillette. The next year, she asked family members and friends to help her make more Easter baskets, and then summer baskets as well. Eventually, Alanna also solicited donations through collection boxes, letters to local businesses, a partnership with a local nonprofit group and a "hat day" at her school. So far, she has distributed more than 300 "Feel Better" baskets, each containing a bubble - blowing kit, a toy or activity, candy and a stuffed animal. In addition, Alanna has used some of her $2,000 in monetary donations to buy DVDs, video and board games, and craft supplies for hospitalized children. "Kids should have time to be kids even when they're in the hospital," said Alanna. "I don't want them to be scared." As State Honorees, Shivani and Alanna each will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an all- expense -paid trip in early May to Washington, D.C., where they will join the top two honorees from each of the other states and the District of Columbia for four days of national recognition events. During the trip, 10 students will be named America's top youth volunteers of 2015. Distinguished Finalists The program judges also recognized six other Minnesota students as Distinguished Finalists for their impressive community service activities. Each will receive an engraved bronze medallion. These are Minnesota's Distinguished Finalists for 2015: Claire Baker, 18, of Maple Grove, Minn., a senior at Totino -Grace High School, began collecting shoes in 2010 for children without the basic necessities in Haiti, and has since collected and distributed 90,000 pairs of shoes and taken three trips to Haiti to personally distribute them. Claire, motivated to help by the devastation of the Haitian earthquake, partnered with the international organization Soles4Souls, which awarded her its Lifetime Achievement Award. Emily Matlack, 18, of Carlton, Minn., a senior at Carlton High School, created "DRV TXT FREE" in 2013, an educational campaign for which she received a $1,000 grant to host a driving course at her school — more — MINNESOTA'S TOP YOUTH VOLUNTEERS SELECTED /Page Three where teen drivers learned the dangers of driving while texting. In 2014, Emily used the skills she developed during her driving campaign to assist a friend with a bullying prevention program that taught seventh- and ninth - graders how to make positive decisions. Manashree Padiyath, 13, of Woodbury, Minn., a seventh - grader at Math and Science Academy, raised $10,000 to support the building of an inclusive playground in her town sponsored by the Madison Claire Foundation, to help those in wheelchairs like her friend, Sydney, enjoy playing alongside other children. Manashree created a campaign through a crowdfunding site, made and distributed brochures, spoke with local businesses, and went door -to -door to collect the funds. Shrey Pothini, 11., of Savage, Minn., a fifth- grader at Harriet Bishop Elementary, founded a community service club at his school when he was 9 years old that has grown into a club with more than 60 student participants who have volunteered more than 3,000 hours. Shrey, who teaches the students about a different nonprofit at each meeting and then initiates a service project to benefit each organization, is planning to work with students at all 10 elementary schools in the district to launch similar clubs. Rachael Price, 17, of Excelsior, Minn., a senior at Minnetonka High School, received a $500 grant to build and maintain a charity garden run by the young members of her school's Teens Taking Action Club, for which- she-is- president and- co-founder. Rachael -who- donated- the - produce- to- theICA Food Shc1f- also - scour -eel — donations of seeds and starter plants from local businesses and a plot for the garden from the city. Kelly Reger, 18, of Edina, Minn., a senior at Edina High School, has raised $2,000 by partnering with Cub Food Stores and local youth groups to bag groceries to benefit cancer research at the University of Minnesota Cancer Research Center, where she has served 250 hours as a research intern in hopes of helping to find a cure for colon cancer, a disease that she and her family are genetically predisposed to. In addition, Kelly is the tournament director for "Slam Cancer!" a celebrity tennis tournament that she hopes will raise $100,000 in 2015. "Prudential is honored to celebrate the contributions of these remarkable young volunteers," said Prudential Chairman and CEO John Strangfeld. "By shining a spotlight on the difference they've made in their communities, we hope others are inspired to volunteer, too." "These students have not only improved their communities through their exemplary volunteer service, but also set a fine example for their peers," said JoAnn Bartoletti, executive director of NASSP. "Each of their stories is proof of the impact one young person can have when they decide to make a difference." - more - MINNESOTA'S TOP YOUTH VOLUNTEERS SELECTED/Page Four About The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards represents the United States' largest youth recognition program based solely on volunteer service. All public and private middle level and high schools in the country, as well as all Girl Scout councils, county 4 -H organizations, American Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and HandsOn Network affiliates, were eligible to select a student or member for a local Prudential Spirit of Community Award. These Local Honorees were then reviewed by an independent judging panel, which selected State Honorees and Distinguished Finalists based on criteria including personal initiative, effort, impact and personal growth. While in Washington, D.C., the 102 State Honorees — one middle level and one high school student from each state and the District of Columbia — will tour the capital's landmarks, meet top youth volunteers from other parts of the world, attend a gala awards ceremony at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, and visit their congressional representatives on Capitol Hill. On May 4, 10 of the State Honorees — five middle level and five high school students — will be named America's top youth volunteers of 2015. These National Honorees will receive additional $5,000 awards, gold medallions, crystal trophies and $5,000 grants from The Prudential Foundation for nonprofit charitable organizations of their choice. Since the program began in 1995, more than 100,000 young volunteers have been honored at the local, state and national level. The program also is conducted by Prudential subsidiaries in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Ireland, India and China. In addition to granting its own awards, The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program also distributes President's Volunteer Service Awards to qualifying Local Honorees on behalf of President Barack Obama.

Strengthening those bonds is not as much in the hands of institutions or governments as it is in the hearts of the people — individuals who volunteer to help people of all ages, races and religions cope with illnesses, overcome hardships and barriers, adjust to social changes, and fulfill their potential. These volunteers are the unrecognized, unsung heroes of our society. (Name of honoree), recently named as one of our state's top honorees in The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program, exemplifies the value of volunteer community service, and is a role model to other youth as well as adults in our community. A surprising number of volunteers in communities across the nation are like (student's first name), a student contributing time without expectation of reward, other than the gratification that comes from helping others. Some of these young people work in established groups; others seek new and unique ways to help others on their own. Recognizing these young volunteers and encouraging others to follow their example is the aim of this nationwide program conducted by Prudential Financial and the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Its aim is to reach into every community, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, to identify and honor these unsung heroes locally, state -by- state, and then nationally, in the hopes that their recognition will serve to stimulate others to volunteer service. As mayor of (city), and on behalf of our city, I commend (student), our Prudential Spirit of Community Award honoree, for (his/her) outstanding volunteer contribution to others and our community. And, therefore, in honor of this achievement, I am proclaiming (day /date) as the (student)/Prudential Spirit of Community Recognition Day in (city).

Although I'm not opposed to compromise or public - private partnership (like the one between Braemar and Tin Fish), the plans seemed grossly dominated toward private development. If a person removes the proposed plazas (outside the apartment tower) from the "public use" category, I'm sure the numbers (in terms of area devoted to public vs private uses) would look even worse. It would be nice if one or two of you showed up to these meetings in order to gauge public sentiment, but from my perspective, the public's response was not positive. Many people recalled that several of you once said something to the effect of, "Why not hire a private firm? If the public doesn't like the firm's suggestions, we don't have to use them." The public clearly did not like the firm's suggestions, so I'm assuming you'll stand by your word and not mandate the use of any of the three plans.

It has come to my attention that Edina is already working on an HRA for the City, and that at least some of your concerns revolve around the loss of wonderful older homes that are being torn down and replaced by "McMansions ", for lack of a better term. We in North Oaks are just beginning the effort to save some of our architecturally significant homes. I am wondering if you would give me some of your time to talk about your efforts in that regard and see if we can learn from what you have already done. Do you have a few minutes to talk in the next couple of weeks? It can be a simple phone call to see if we might be able to learn from you and your HRA Commission as we start down this road.

Every year I meet with legislators of both political parties at the capitol and suggest legislation to improve our state. I have contributed to drunken driving laws, school bus safety laws to name a few, environmental matters, pollinators, and more. The chicken Edina chicken draft ordinance that was presented to the city council in February of 2015 originally was presented along with the much researched bee ordinance. The bee ordinances was very complete needing only a few revisions. The chicken ordinance as presented to the city council was much less complete and thorough. As presented, it was lacking in any real details or specifics. If Edina is to have backyard chickens, we need to have precise legislation to ensure that we follow best practices procedures and that specific wording is in effect to ensure that we have adequately prepared the ordinance to anticipate potential problems. I do not ever plan to have chickens in my yard, or stop a neighbor from having chickens. My aim is solely to assist in enacting a complete and thorough ordinance on this subject. The key to any ordinance relating to the keeping of animals is that it should put into law general best practices to be followed by residents who keep animals covered by the ordinance. The current proposed backyard chicken draft ordinance does not do this. Several cities around the country have been highlighted as having backyard chicken ordinances that institute best practices. Among the top 10 are Sacramento and San Diego California and Charlotte, North Carolina. Both cities specify general concepts of best practices for raising and keeping backyard chickens.

Here is a guide for discussing best practices— A Guide to the Rules and Regulations + Best Practices for Keeping Backyard Hens- http: / /www.garnernc.gov/ Publications /Planning /chickenbookletweb.pdf The Minnesota Statutes do, in fact, set out fairly specific provisions relating to the proper and humane treatment of animals. They provide for levels of care far exceeding any standard that merely tries to prevent "animal abuse." For instance, here is the section of the animal abuse statutes that related to outdoor dog houses. It's fairly specific in what's required. MINNESOTA STATUTES- 343.40 DOG HOUSES. Subdivision 1. In general. A person in charge or control of any dog which is kept outdoors or in an unheated enclosure shall provide the dog with shelter and bedding as prescribed in this section as a minimum. 5 Subd. 2. Building specifications. The shelter shall include a moisture proof and windproof structure of suitable size to accommodate the dog and allow retention of body heat. It shall be made of durable material with a solid, moisture proof floor or a floor raised at least two inches from the ground. Between November 1 and March 31 the structure must have a windbreak at the entrance. The structure shall be provided with a sufficient quantity of suitable bedding material consisting of hay, straw, cedar shavings, blankets, or the equivalent, to provide insulation and protection against cold and dampness and promote retention of body heat. Subd. 3. Shade. Shade from the direct rays of the sun, during the months of May to October shall be provided. Subd. 4. Farm dogs. In lieu of the requirements of subdivisions 2 and 3, a dog kept on a farm maybe provided with access to a barn with a sufficient quantity of loose hay or bedding to protect against cold and dampness. Subd. 5. Zoning. All shelters required by this section shall be subject to all building or zoning regulations of any city, township, county, or state. Subd. 6. Penalty. Whoever violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a petty misdemeanor. Since 1983, the Minnesota Statutes have also had a section covering the humane treatment of pet and companion animals. It's also quite extensive and very specific in what constitutes proper and humane best practices for animals. It's unclear if it relates to pet backyard chickens since the law exempts "farm animals," which backyard chickens may be, but it also includes animals not covered in detail in the law, which "must be maintained in accordance with a general standard of care necessary for the species as determined by an expert opinion." What the Minnesota law does establish, however, is that the state is committed to setting out in law best practices for humane treatment of animals in Minnesota.

While this may seem like a good idea, there are a lot of factors to take into account before allowing this kind of activity in Edina schools. The most important one being what will be done in each classroom 13 at the end of the school year with the chickens. Who will take up to 18 chickens and take good care of them? This issue is not addressed by the draft ordinance. Here is a short bulletin from the Missouri Humane Society on classroom chicks and chickens. Missouri Humane Society - http:// www. hsmo. org /education/classroomhatching html "The overriding message of chick - hatching projects is that human responsibility for these birds is limited, and animals can be discarded like yesterday's toys." Dr. F. Barbara Orlans, Senior Research Fellow, Georgetown University So you think you want to hatch baby chicks in your classroom. Please think again. The Humane Society of Missouri urges teachers to quit the classroom practice of incubating baby chicks: • The procedure often places stress on the chicks while they are hatching without a full -time biological mother, • The class project traumatizes students when the chicks die, • Furthermore, the surviving chicks can carry and transmit salmonella to unsuspecting children when handled. (A 1999 analysis of chicks in Seattle schools found that nearly all chicks tested were infected with E. coli and salmonella, leading to a ban on all hatching projects in Seattle schools. Read more.) It's your project until it becomes our problem. Incubating chicks is often more challenging than humans expect. Chicks that are not incubated properly die or are born deformed. The surviving chicks don't fare well after they are dismissed from the classroom. As a poorly- thought, insulting alternative, the incubation kits' materials instruct teachers and parents to give the abandoned chicks to a local animal shelter for "disposal" as the proper procedure; 14 they believe it is the animal shelter's job to accept and either care for or kill the baby birds. Most shelters are either under - funded divisions of city health departments or volunteer - driven, non - profit organizations; both types of shelters are already inundated with homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. Many shelters will accept the orphaned chicks rather than allow them to suffer, but - with no resources to raise the chicks - will euthanize them. Thus, the classroom's disposable "life" project becomes the animal lovers' responsibility and heartbreak. The Humane Society of Missouri's Longmeadow Rescue Ranch is one of a very few facilities equipped to handle farm animals, but the non - profit facility is overflowing with more than 350 horses, cows, pigs, goats and chickens in need of permanent homes. According to Earlene Cole, former director of Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, raising chicks in the classroom is more daunting than teachers realize. "The surviving chicks require special feed that is not readily available in most big cities. If not properly fed, the chicks die or become deformed. Once they're born, you can't tell if a chick is going to grow up to be a hen or a rooster. While some families with acreage can adopt another hen, most already have a rooster, and roosters often don't get along with each other. If we can find a home for a rooster, they'll need tolerant neighbors who will put up with the crowing." Cole cautions parents and teachers about the types of chicken produced by the classroom eggs. Even if a compassionate student wanted to keep the chicks and raise them, sometimes that isn't possible due to genetic engineering. "These days, there are three types of chicken eggs. One type of egg grows into a chicken that most people are familiar with - a chicken that lays eggs but can also be eaten for meat. There is another type of egg that grows into a chicken that only lays eggs. And there's a type of egg that grows into a chicken genetically altered to not lay eggs. This 'meat chicken' grows too large to even walk, so they couldn't possibly be someone's pet." Teach your students to become humane adults. Please end the irresponsible practice of hatching and abandoning chicks in your classroom and urge other teachers and students to do the same.

Any draft ordinance needs to define, at least in general terms, best practices as a guide for Edina backyard chicken keepers. The state has set the lead on the type of factors to consider for the humane treatment of animals. Numerous cities have already developed a consensus for best practices for backyard chicken keepers and a new draft should be developed that incorporates the best of the best of these necessary and humane practices.

As to the chicken part of the proposed ordinance, however, it seems that any guidelines for best and humane practices are missing. A homeowner five house down from us keeps two chickens in a small coop completely exposed to the elements. The chickens never get to walk outside the cage. Last winter the owner never used a heat lamp and the chickens were exposed to many subzero nights. It seems the ordinance should include some guidelines on humane cage size, free range availability and protection from extreme heat or cold weather. I hope you pass the bee part of the ordinance tonight and send the chicken part back for more study. I've put some suggested ordinance language in this regard below. Thanks for your consideration.

All three solutions are mediocre at best and do not address the ultimate objective for this project. There is a certain amount of necessary structural work and deferred maintenance to ensure the ramps are safe. Beyond that, the improvements are to reinforce the positioning of 50th and France as a desired destination that is convenient, safe, accessible, inviting, welcoming and encouraging to visitors. Competition is stiff. Galleria is upping the stakes with higher end tenants, the new retail wing at Mall of America is going right at the 501h and France and Edina customer as is Ridgedale with Nordstrom's and new higher end retail specialty stores. Consumers have options. The ramps need to be more than structurally sound to be an amenity. The increased assessments have put additional pressure on tenants at 50th and France in an increasingly competitive iarket. We respectfully ask the City of Edina to fund the shortage and enable this project to move forward and be ompleted in a first class manner. The improvements and solution should be excellent or nothing at all. If the City of Edina is unable or unwilling to provide funding for the project as contemplated and designed, then simply complete the minimally necessary structural repairs and stop. We do not support the three alternatives to the elevator and do not support further increasing the assessments to the property owners which pass directly through to tenants. I apologize for not being in attendance tonight but learned this morning that I need to travel to Portland. Thank you for your consideration. Alan Ackerberg Parasole Restaurant Holdings, Inc.

Staff Present: Michael Frey, General Manager, Edina Art Center. Students Representatives Present: Sophia Munic and Jack Ready Ill. Approval of Meeting Agenda Chair Meifert noted the meeting agenda had been circulated and asked if there were requests for additions or changes. Commissioner La Valleur asked that the Public Art Working Group be considered under Reports rather than the Consent Agenda. Motion by Chair Meifert and seconded by Commissioner La Valleur that the Arts and Culture Commission approve the December 18, 2014 Agenda as amended. yes: Hafed Bouassida, Kandace Ellis, Dana Lappin, Barbara La Valleur, Ray Meifert, Kitty O'Dea, Thomas Raeuchle, and Steve Suckow. Motion carried. IV. Adoption of Consent Agenda A. Approval of Minutes - Regular Meeting of October 23, 2014 B. General Manager's Report C. Music in Edina Working Group D. Public Art Working Group Chair Meifert asked if there were changes or corrections to the minutes of the Regular Meeting of October 23, 2014. No additional changes were reported. The Arts and Culture Commission approved the Consent Agenda as amended. V. Community Comment No comments made. VI. Reports /Recommendations A. Grandview Committee Commissioner Raeuchle had nothing further to report. - ommissioner O'Dea reported that she attended the December 4 public meeting and stated that there had been aiding principles from the last round of meetings that were used in order to receive input on possible options. She oelieved that the intent was to obtain general input with example pictures used but stated that some people viewed the session as presenting actual options rather than examples. Commissioner Suckow stated that the meeting was heavily attended, advising that all the electronic voting equipment was used. He stated that there was a core group spread throughout that spoke in favor of an arts and culture building while others spoke in favor of athletic aspects. He stated that perhaps better expectations could have been set for the public. Commissioner Lappin felt that staff believed that the meetings would draw input from all residents of Edina and stated that instead it is the people that want their input heard. She did not believe that all residents of Edina have an interest in Grandview. Commissioner O'Dea stated that staff did a good job relating the size of the parcel, which is three acres, to other areas in the City. Commissioner Ellis stated that she also felt that perhaps the purpose of the evening was to introduce the developer to the public that has been involved in the process. She stated that people were crowded into a small classroom and felt that a comment could have been made to link the project to a possible location for community meeting space. She stated that there seemed to be negative comments as people were leaving the meeting, perhaps because of the past process. Jack Ready agreed that it was difficult to see and that it felt like there was not a purpose to the meeting. Commissioner Ellis stated that she found the use of the electronic equipment to be a beneficial method of obtaining immediate response and opinion. Commissioner O'Dea stated that in some of those situations a use was presented with a modern building and believed that it was difficult for residents to unlink the picture used from the general idea. Commissioner Ellis stated that she felt that there was support for a center for arts and culture. Commissioner Raeuchle stated that at this point at least a community building for the arts is part of the serious discussion. Commissioner La Valleur stated that perhaps the follow up email sent to those who attended the public meeting could be distributed to the remaining members of the Commission that were not able to attend the meeting. Commissioner Suckow stated that staff had stated that there would be a possibility for a member of the Grandview group to come to the Arts and Culture Commission meeting. Commissioner Raeuchle stated that perhaps the Grandview meeting includes a larger group with an interest in the arts. Mr. Frey advised that the Commission can vote to televise the February meeting rather than the January meeting. Motion by Commissioner Ellis and seconded by Commissioner La Valleur that the Art and Culture Commission televise the February meeting. Ayes: Hafed Bouassida, Kandace Ellis, Dana Lappin, Barbara La Valleur, Ray Meifert, Kitty O'Dea, Thomas Raeuchle, and Steve Suckow. Motion carried. Motion by Commissioner Suckow and seconded by Commissioner Raeuchle that the Art and Culture Commission ask someone from the Grandview group to present to the Commission at the regular January meeting and invite others with an arts and culture interest. Further discussion: Commissioner Bouassida cautioned against inviting too many other people to the meeting. Commissioner Raeuchle stated that perhaps the group of invited people could be narrowed and advised that he would work with Mr. Frey to determine who will be invited. Ayes: Hafed Bouassida, Kandace Ellis, Dana Lappin, Barbara La Valleur, Ray Meifert, Kitty O'Dea, Thomas Raeuchle, and Steve Suckow. Motion carried. B. Edina Vision Update Commissioner Suckow stated that the process is ongoing but did not have anything new to report since the previous update. C. Ways and Means Committee Mr. Frey stated that City staff has completed the donations and sponsorship policy, which was approved by the City Council in November and can be distributed to the Commission. He stated that the policy is fairly general and advised that the Council is very supportive of any fundraising efforts this group or any other desires to do. He cautioned that there is a fine line between sponsorships and advertising that must be kept in mind. :hair Meifert stated that perhaps coordination should be done in order to move ahead in this direction, with a presentation to be made at the January meeting. D. Music in Edina Commissioner Ellis stated the group met to discuss the next event on February 14th which will be a concert with a dance with the Rockin' Hollywoods playing. She reported that another event will be held on April 26th to support the Minnehaha Music Orchestra, noting that the Orchestra would be fundraising with Music in Edina sponsoring the event as previously discussed. She hoped that the group could continue to work towards the jazz concert proposed for July. Commissioner Raeuchle questioned if any other groups had reached out to the Music in Edina working group. Commissioner Ellis stated that the group has not received requests from other groups. Chair Meifert stated that perhaps Music in Edina could work with the Chamber Choir to partner for an event. Sophia Munic stated that perhaps the Chamber Choir would not be available and suggested checking the availability of the Varsity Choir. Mr. Frey stated that the mission of Music in Edina is to help fund groups in Edina that are in need of assistance, noting that while it is great to support the choirs, those groups are well supported by the School District. He stated that the 2015 Work Plan was well received and advised that the Council is strongly in support of an arts and culture community calendar. He noted that he placed that item on the Work Plan for the Art Center and advised that he will begin the process. Commissioner Ellis stated that she will attempt to research the calendar as well. E. Public Art Working Group :ommissioner La Valleur stated that the group did not meet the past month. She stated that the only issue was whether or not a vote would be needed for the addition of new members. She stated that since approval is not needed because this is now a working group, she simply advised of a new member that will be joining the working group. VII. Correspondence and Petitions Chair Meifert asked if there was any correspondence or petitions. None voiced. VIII. Chair and Board Commissioner Comments Commissioner Raeuchle commented on the Promenade Phase 4, noting that the discussion began the previous year. He stated that he, Commissioner La Valleur and Mr. Frey met with a consultant to provide artistic input on the project. He advised that a report will be available by the end of the month for the public. He stated that originally the intent was featured towards water and natural water treatment but explained that cannot be the direction because of contamination found deep in the ground. He advised that the new concept focuses more on animal and insect habitat and as a wildlife corridor within a densely populated area. He suggested that programming for the parks, including events which provide an artistic or cultural aspect into the parks, be an item of focus for the 2015 year. Sophia Munic stated that Edina Images held its first fundraiser and generated $200. The Commission suggested that Sophia Munic make a presentation to generate support of Images at the January Commission meeting. Commissioner La Valleur reported that her opening was very successful with 110 people in attendance. IX. Staff Comments Ir. Frey reported that the City Council approved the Work Plan for the 2015. He advised that the Council had )ncern that the percentage for the arts ordinance would not be supported by Statute. Commissioner La Valleur noted that is in line with the desire of the Commission, as the Commission had previously decided not to move forward with a percentage for the arts ordinance. She stated that the idea had been to possibly pursue the concept as a policy rather than as an ordinance. Mr. Frey noted that concept could be further researched. Commissioner Ellis referenced the idea of fundraising and questioned if the working groups should fundraise as the working group or under the umbrella of the Commission. Commissioner Raeuchle stated that if a grant application were to be written, it should be done in whatever manner that would be most successful. He stated that for sponsorships it would be fundraising for the working group while a grant could be applied for more under the Commission. Commissioner Bouassida stated that he did not think there would be a right or wrong answer but believed that the fundraising should be done under the larger umbrella of the Commission. Chair Meifert stated that once the new guidelines are reviewed the Commission can then identify a fundraising strategy. He recognized the frustration this process has brought. Commissioner O'Dea thanked Commissioner Bouassida for his efforts on the Commission as this is one of his last meetings. X.

Grandview Site Update — Mr. Terry Minarik, Confluence, and Mr. Dave Anderson, Frauenshuh Mr. Neuendorf identified the Grandview site noting that although the parcel has been discussed several times in the past there has been much more focus recently. He advised of recent public meetings that have been held with Edina residents as well as high school students and noted that there were common themes received. He stated that staff will continue to obtain input from other groups within the City. He reported that the City is still in the formational /exploratory phase of the project and advised that staff did receive the comments and vision for a )mmunity building forwarded from this Commission. He stated that this is an opportunity for the Commission to provide input on the project. He stated that there will be a discovery session on March I Ith to review the information received from the public meetings. He hoped to have options available in April with a decision to be made by the Council in June. Commissioner Suckow asked for additional information on the themes staff interpreted from the December public meeting. Mr. Minarik stated that a report was developed which provides the information that had been placed on the City website. He noted that the students were much more open to flexibility and variety. He stated that the students were very aware and thoughtful noting that there were questions prepared. He advised that the results from that session would also be composed into a report and would be posted to the City website. Mr. Neuendorf reviewed some of the themes and wants that arose from the meetings thus far including space for art, seniors, teens, community, performing arts as well as indoor and outdoor uses. He stated that parking and transportation were also mentioned. He stated that an overall theme of flexibility came across as well as the desire for private enterprise as well whether that would be residential and /or business. Mr. Minarik stated that the size of the site would fit well with a portion dedicated to a parking ramp as well as shared transit. Commissioner Ellis referenced a parking ramp behind Jerry's and questioned if perhaps that could be used for this site as well as shared parking. Mr. Neuendorf stated that the design staff has been asked to keep that option in mind. Mr. Minarik stated that the ramp could not be expanded because the two levels do not connect, there is separate access to each level and cars cannot travel between the two levels. Commissioner La Valleur stated that perhaps a green roof element could be added to the project. She was surprised that a senior center would be suggested because there is a very nice senior center in Edina less than five minutes from this site. Chair Meifert questioned what the City of Edina is in need of that could be placed on that space. He stated that while it would be nice to incorporate some of those elements mentioned perhaps the focus should be on what the City is lacking such as performance arts space. He questioned if there are amenities that other communities have that Edina does not. Mr. Minarik agreed that the City does not have a community performance arts space, noting several neighboring communities that have that amenity. He stated that perhaps the frustration with the senior center currently is the large amount of space and the lack of parking. He explained that there have been times when the parking is full but yet the senior center is not even close to utilizing the amount of space in that location. Commissioner Ellis stated that perhaps a coffee shop element could be added to the lower level of the library in order to bring in teens that might use their bicycles to access the site. Mr. Minarik stated that there is also perhaps a stigma attached to the term senior center and noted that some residents would be more willing to visit a community space rather than something termed for seniors. Chair Meifert stated that this will not include everything that everyone wants and noted that in reality many Edina residents would not even use the building. He stated that Minneapolis has the second strongest performing arts presence after New York and believed a performing arts space would be beneficial. Commissioner Suckow questioned if the City is committed to including a private component to accompany the public aspect in order to fund the use. Mr. Neuendorf agreed that there is a plan to incorporate private and public components. Chair Meifert questioned if there is a deadline for public input. Mr. Neuendorf advised that a few options will be presented in April, with additional public input to follow and a Council decision to be made June 2 ^d. Commissioner Ellis stated that she would like to see better access to the current senior center as well, including an overhang that could prevent ice near the entry. Mr. Minarik stated that the inventory of the parks and recreation /trails had been done and staff is moving forward in the Strategic Plan process as well. He advised that the Committee meets on a monthly basis and stated that the group is hoping to be finished this spring. Sophia Munic stated that she would love to see an art element on the site and would like the space to be more general as a community rather than specific age groups. She also believed a small rock climbing feature would be a great aspect. She confirmed that she will have a presentation prepared for the Commission at the February meeting regarding Images. :ommissioner Miller questioned if there had been thought to creating an art center in another space or whether this ad come about because of this space possibly being available. Mr. Minarik confirmed that the art center idea has come about in this project because the space would possibly be available. He recognized that there is a need for more space for the existing art center. Commissioner La Valleur questioned if there had been thought to creating a center which would combine the art center with a performing art center. Mr. Neuendorf stated that although that is a great concept there has to be enough space as well as a source of funding that would ensure the viability of the center. B. Election of Vice Chair Motion by Chair Meifert and seconded by Commissioner Suckow that the Art and Culture Commission table the election of a Vice Chair to April. Ayes: Kandace Ellis, Barbara La Valleur, Ray Meifert, Anne Miller, and Steve Suckow. Motion carried. C. Donations Policy Chair Meifert stated that the information was included in the packet and he did not feel that there was any surprising information in the policy. He stated that perhaps the Ways and Means Committee should meet to discuss additional aspects, such as specific events that could benefit from fundraising under the Arts and Culture Commission umbrella. Mr. Frey agreed that the next step would be for the Ways and Means Committee to meet and develop a document that would be used specific to the arts. Commissioner La Valleur discussed some of the fundraising and sponsorship opportunities used for public art. She :)mmented that Collin Nelson's monthly sessions have been going great and thought that The Author's Studio could be a great event to support. Chair Meifert agreed that the focus for fundraising could be Music in Edina, The Author's Studio, art exhibitions and public art. He noted that he will approach the film festival group once more to determine if they would like to join as a working group or whether they would like to simply continue to be independent. It was determined that the Ways and Means Committee would meet on January 29th at 4:15 to 6:00 p.m. at the Edina Art Center. Commissioner Miller stated that as a new member she would like to see on paper how these groups are funded. VII. Correspondence and Petitions Chair Meifert asked if there was any correspondence or petitions. None voiced. VIII. Chair and Board Commissioner Comments Commissioner Ellis encouraged the Commission to tell others about the Music in the Edina event on February 14th Motion by Commissioner Suckow and seconded by Commissioner La Valleur that the Arts and Culture Commission thank Commissioners Bouassida and Raeuchle for their service to the City and their efforts in developing this group into a Commission. Ayes: Kandace Ellis, Barbara La Valleur, Ray Meifert, Anne Miller, and Steve Suckow. Motion carried. Commissioner Miller commended Commissioner La Valleur for her photographic exhibition and wished her continued iccess. IX. Staff Comments No comments. X. Adjournment Motion by Commissioner Miller and seconded by Commissioner Suckow that the Arts and Culture Commission adjourn the meeting at S:SO p.m. Ayes: Kandace Ellis, Barbara La Valleur, Ray Meifert, Anne Miller, and Steve Suckow.

Approval of Minutes — Regular Park Board Meeting of Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015 Ayes: McCormick, Cella, Segreto, Gieseke, Steel, Jacobson, Jones. Motion carried. V. COMMUNITY COMMENT None VI. REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS VI.A. Braemar Clubhouse Interior Renovations Ann Kattreh gave the Park Board an update on the interior renovations at Braemar Clubhouse. Member Jacobson asked if there will be outside seating. Ms. Kattreh replied they will have outside seating on the wrap- around patio and also hope to add a patio on the north side of the clubhouse to accommodate restaurant patrons as well. Member Segreto asked if that would be on the ground level. to which Ms. Kattreh responded yes and added that there will be a nice view of the driving range and the first hole on the course. Member Steel asked if there were plans to add art work to which Ms. Kattreh replied they do intend to jazz it up in a variety of different ways. She explained their goal in providing the design they did is try.to attract a wide variety of users. They want to make it a pleasing environment to their current golf users as well as make it a friendly and inviting environment for families. She added they want people to bring . their business customers to Braemar as well as accommodate wedding parties and other rentals. .Their. goal is to be as neutral as possible and be able to add art and different things that can be added or taken . away if it does not meet the particular need of the rental at that time. Member McCormick stated at one time there was discussion that they might do a portable dance floor but the plan shows it is a permanent dance floor. Ms. Kattreh explained that portable dances floors are a challenge and a big labor issue and therefore staff decided it should be permanent. Member Segreto asked if the lease with Tin Fish has been finalized to which Ms. Kattreh replied yes; the lease took effect Jan. 1, 2015. Member Segreto asked what the hours of operation will be. Ms. Kattreh explained she is not sure of the exact times; however, there is a requirement that they need.to be open a certain amount of time before and after the golf course is open and closed. Member Segreto asked about winter hours to which Ms. Kattreh replied the Tin Fish has guaranteed that they will be open during the winter. Member Segreto asked if alcohol will be served to which Ms. Kattreh replied they will still be serving . beer and wine. Member Segreto wondered if coffee will be served during the off hours for possible business meetings to which Ms. Kattreh responded yes. Member Segreto asked if there was wiring for presentations for business meetings to which Ms. Kattreh replied yes, they will be putting in a brand new audio /visual system.. Member McCormick noted at the public open house there was some discussion about the televisions in the Tin Fish area and wondered what was determined. Ms. Kattreh pointed out the plan is to have the large TV on the south wall and add one or more TVs as well. She noted they are also talking about doing a closed circuit TV with Braemar Arena so if a parent drops a child off for practice at the arena they can come to the Tin Fish and watch their child on TV. Member McCormick asked when the Tin Fish will be ready to open. Ms. Kattreh replied the Tin Fish just got their building permit today and they are anticipating a six -week construction time so they are hoping to have everything ready to go by April 15. Member Segreto asked if the orange compartment shown in the layout relate to the furniture that was chosen. Ms. Kattreh indicated she was not sure if that is the actual color selection but will find out.. Member Segreto commented she thought the orange could become outdated to which Ms. Kattreh agreed. Member McCormick asked if the colors of the wood represent what the actual colors will be. Ms. Kattreh responded the color of the wood in the layout does not represent the actual colors of the wood and added they are trying to figure out the best use of funds without gutting the entire facility. Member Segreto asked if they are requiring the restaurant to recycle. Ms. Kattreh responded they are as well as the restaurant is only using compostable materials and will have food composting as well. Member Jacobson asked if there is going to be any capability to order food from the outside such as a drive -up window to which Ms. Kattreh indicated they are pursuing a couple of things. She noted they are looking at adding a satellite location at the driving range building as well as envision taking fresh food there so residents would be able to bike up and grab something. At this location, they are also going to be exploring an app to order something and then pick it up to at a walk -up window. Member Segreto asked how long the lease is to which Ms. Kattreh replied it is a five -year lease with a five -year option. VI.B. Park System Strategic Planning Mr. Terry Minarik from Confluence gave the Park Board an update on where they are at in the process with the Strategic Plan. Member McCormick wondered if there is a purpose or vision statement that the plan points fall under that the Committee was working towards. Mr. Minarik stated what we are going to do now is take some of the guiding principles and give a definition of what they describe and what they are and those will become vision statements as well. They will also try to categorize those under a different heading. There will be more specific headings for each of the goals as they move forward. He stated a lot of the inventory and benchmark analysis will help them to define the goals. Member Gieseke indicated he liked this but was a little confused and would like to envision what it will look like when it is done. He reviewed what he thought the order will be. Mr. Minarik stated Member Gieseke was right on target. Member McCormick stated she had a couple of observations as she read the principles. She liked all of them and thought the group took all of the feedback and honed in on the meaning but she thought some of the wording needed to be cleaned up. "Promote Community Health and Wellness ", she thought was completely objective but it seemed like the park system would be more of the focus on community health and wellness and thought that was missed. She thought they missed the park component of the recreational. She indicated it would be to promote recreational health and wellness because that is what their focus would be. The point. on Strength & Financial Position was very broad and she was not sure what the objective would be. She asked if it would mean to be within budget or find new innovative ways to find funds for the park system. Ms. Kattreh stated that was correct. She thought they made it broad on purpose because some of the things mentioned they talked about. They talked about having appropriate budgets, cost recovery, anything that could be thought of from a financial perspective and that is why they made it as broad as they did. That was the intention. . Member McCormick thought someone should be able to read these and understand what they are trying to do. Mr. Minarik stated he understood and that is why they wanted to give this to the Board now before they finalize it. He thought they will define and refine them more as they move forward. Member McCormick stated the Connect People to Places bullet was great with the trail system but thought that the transportation group would associate more with that and have that as their goal and the Park Board's goal would be more of connecting people to nature or to parks. She felt like these should be very specific as to what they want to do with their park system and_ not so broad that they are a community wide guidepost. Mr. Minarik thought from discussions they probably. ventured more towards wanting to do more with the parks and recreation component in the City, rather than just provide sports venues and recreational programs. They want it to be something that can contribute to . health and wellness and connect people in the City, connect people to places. Through recreation and activity they could begin to connect people to. other places than the sports field or the playground but also to other places such as the hospital or shopping mall. Via the trail people. will have a healthier' lifestyle because they will be walking, biking, running or doing something that gets them to move. He... stated they are looking to be broad with this item. He stated it is all up to interpretation right now. Member McCormick wanted to make sure they are Park Board related goals. She also wondered how the maintenance fit in. Mr. Minarik thought it would be a part of the service excellence component and that would cover the maintenance. Member Segreto asked how involved Will the Park Board be in each step of the process as they get more detailed because what Member McCormick said was right. How do they make sure that the strategic plan does cover all the different areas that the member's feel are important. Mr. Minarik thought through the committee meetings and coming forward to the Park Board, providing the information they will give to the Board for review and comment will help and staff also has submitted some critical things they want to see get done through goals and objectives. A lot of their analysis will push forward where they are lacking and excelling within the park system, which will help them identify a lot of those goals. . and objectives. They will continue to submit reports to the Board for review and input until the Board approves the information as the final strategic plan for the park system. Ms.. Kattreh stated as they continue to meet as staff and a committee, staff would be more than happy to put together emails to the entire park board to update everyone as to the progress they are making at the committee meetings. The first few months the committee was in the data gathering mode and . now they are starting to the get to the principals and goal setting mode and will need the Park Board's .input at this critical time. Member Segreto stated they do not want to.burden the process but they.do. not want to find themselves towards the end of the process with a draft of the strategic plan and then each of the members questioning the plan. Ms. Kattreh agreed and indicated she wants as much input . as she can get from the Park Board. Member Jones stated as a follow -up, there is a list of draft goals in the packet and it would be really useful if everyone on the Board would review the list and add their own goals. Mr. Minarik stated it is going to be very critical as they do identify all of these goals that the Board help them to establish what the priorities are. Some of the priorities are dictated just by need. Member Steel stated they had talked about a park overlay as apart of the Comprehensive Plan and getting more park inclusion into their plan, this may be the start of getting something started so they are included in future Comprehensive Plans of the City. Ms. Kattreh agreed. She thought that was a great comment and they need to have discussion about how to include this information in the Comprehensive Plan, Member McCormick thought it was a good idea but they need to focus on what they are responsible for otherwise this plan will be too broad. Member Gieseke noted there is a fine line and it is their time to have a vision on what.they would like to see down the road. Member Steel stated when they go ahead to connecting people to places, maybe saying.evading the inclusion of Parks and Recreation within the Comprehensive Plan so we understand it needs involvement from other Boards and Commissions. Mr. Minarik thought it was a great opportunity to include the Parks and Recreation Department. Member McCormick asked if they needed to approve this now, she thought they could indicate this is a draft because she did not want to approve this draft and have people think the Board is approving the wording exactly as it shows in the draft. Mr. Minarik stated this is just a summary. Member Segreto made the motion, seconded by Member Greene, approving the draft guiding principles and draft goals to provide feedback on guiding principles as presented. Ayes: McCormick, Cella, Segreto, Gieseke, Steel, Jacobson, Jones, Greene Motion carried. VI.C. Redevelopment Planning Update for Grandview, Former Public Works Site -Bill Neuendorf, Economic Development Manager Bill Neuendorf, Economic Development Manager, gave an update and presentation on the Grandview site. Dave Anderson from Frauenshuh & Companies was also at the meeting. 4 Member Jones asked if the City Council recommended the Park Board now be a part of this item because before the City Council indicated it would not be a part of the Park Board work plan but it would be a part of the Arts and Culture Commission work plan. Mr. Neue.ndorf stated at this point. the, project is under his management through the.Administrative Department and they are reaching out to all of the boards and commissions. Ms. Kattreh replied this is not falling specifically on the work plan of the Park Board but thought the goal was to try to solicit input from all of the boards and commissions. It will fall under their umbrella and the Park Board will have more input on this. She noted it is very likely that a public space at Grandview will fall under the Parks & Recreation umbrella, whether it is a park facility, arts facility, an indoor /outdoor park or fitness center. Member Jones stated she just wanted to clarify this for the audience watching because normally.the Park Board would be involved in the planning and discussion of an item like this; however, they are not involved in any way in this process and are only hearing what the other boards and commissions are hearing. Ms. Kattreh thought there will be much more conversation about what goes in the public space, the conversation has not gotten to that level yet. Member Jones noted they are at the stage right now where all of the public meetings have been done and the scenarios are going to come back in a month and they are going to be responding to the scenarios but have not been a part of developing those scenarios. Member Steel stated they have not been involved but it seems like there is an opportunity now that the public input has been gathered. She did not know if it.would have made sense if the Park Board would have directed the public process. She thought they would want the public to lead the process and there is an opportunity to have input. Mr. Neuendorf continued with reviewing the process and where they are at today. Member Jones asked if Mr. Neuendorf could define public and private to which Mr. Neuendorf replied to define public and private can be fairly black and white and then gave an example of public and private uses of land. Member Jones asked if public would be owned and operated by the city. Mr. Neuendorf stated most likely regarding ownership and operation; however, they have not even come to that point but it could work that way. He noted the word significant has been used a lot and there is a general acceptance of mixing public and private use for this land. There needs to be a significant public and a significant private piece. There is support for a public fitness facility with a recreational focus. There is support for a community arts and culture center. There is support for a performing arts center. He indicated there have been requests for improvements to the parks and to the open space from most groups. He added on the private side restaurants come up in almost every conversation. Member Steel asked if there are any numbers on any of these items so they can see a break down on . what people favored or how items were ranked. Mr. Neuendorf stated at this point they have not crunched any numbers and he was not sure if they would be able to do that because at the informal meetings he was taking down suggestions, not tabulating votes. He stated over fifty percent of the . people indicated they do not need housing. Member Steel commented when it comes to this particular data those are the taxpayers so they need a comprehensive study on what the city can support or wants to support. She noted she liked the first presentation that was made; it was very helpful when the survey results were broken down. She noted these meetings are drawing the loudest and most active . participants and she is interested in the city as a whole. Mr. Neuendorf stated that is a real good point and to address that concern, that is one of the reasons why they wanted to partner with a development expert and want to do a market study to see what the real market demand is out there. Member Steel thought it seemed like they are going to solidify the private part of this plan but was not sure by the- timeline if they are going to solidify the public part of it so she was not sure the public was in agreement and behind this part of the plan. Mr. Neuendorf stated the next step in the process is to continue to collect data and then schedule another large group discussion to put things together and see what-does 5 and what does not work well together as well as what fits on the site. He informed the Park Board that in April they will present at least three different development scenarios for review with an open house on April 22 and then in May they will continue taking public input on those options. They want to find a set of functions that work well'together and create a place the city is proud of, the residents support and is financially stable. Member Segreto indicted she was sensitive about the city's lack of an arts and culture center but it seems that all around them there are so many arts and culture centers that have performance space that maybe they are overbuilt in that regard. She stated they need to make sure that all of the other venues are being used before moving forward with another center. She thought that in order for the whole project to be successful what they do on the public side has to compliment what the market can support on the private side. She noted they have to be aware and they need to rely on their private . partner to tell them what the project can support. Member Jones stated she does not think apartments were the answer on this site and it was not instilling confidence in her by showing them that there is a high desire for apartments when the Morris Leatherman Survey clearly stated that it would be a deal breaker if apartments were proposed on that land. She added residents would not favor that. She noted the other thing that is not coming out is the fact that a great number of residents want to keep that land public and do not feel that a significant, private presence is something they want on that land, it does not make sense with the residents. She stated this is one of the last large parcels of land that could be considered for a community center and.:_. . to even consider taking off bits of it for apartment buildings that can be built elsewhere. She stated this ,' would be the cheapest way to put in a community center in Edina because they already have the land and the land is centrally located. She did not understand this lack of understanding that the city is not going to invest.in health and wellness when that is part of their strategic plan. She stated she was really . frustrated that the City Council did not ask the Park Board for their help in planning this. Member Steel was thinking of having a collaborative work space with a health and wellness theme to it. where there would be walking treadmill desks, bike desks, standing desks, etc., which would serve the teenage community. She noted there are a lot of health and wellness opportunities and a lot of things that have not been done and there is room for partnerships with health companies. Member Segreto agreed that they have a lot of public needs and could utilize the entire space themselves. Member Segreto commented that she does not think the city could get this project done as quickly as they. Would. like to unless they pair with a private developer. She noted to get the project done they are going to have to compromise and lose some public space. Member Jones stated at this point she is not sure why they are rushing to say they need to build. on that ., land because they do not know what is going to happen with the school referendum. She stated the City Council has never asked if they want to keep this one hundred percent public because that would. have been the starting point. She stated all of the committees recommended that the city pursue what the public use would be first and for whatever reason the City Council is ignoring citizen requests and has decided to go down this other route which would mean there would be private use on the property. She stated the residents are asking for a community center. Member Steel thought the problem is that there is not enough public support for this yet and until there is, it will not be built. Member Jones stated the way to establish consensus is to ask at a public meeting what the residents would like to see at a community center and that question has never been asked. Until the leadership is willing to ask that, there will never be consensus. Member Steel disagreed and stated there are four different types of public programming and there is not a consensus there so until 0 they start looking at the breakdown and numbers of the four types of programming. they will not ge.t.a consensus. Member Jones stated it is possible there is room for all of those. Mr. Neuendorf commented this discussion is very helpful and also reflective of most discussions he has been involved in. He stated the task given to him by the City Council is to look at a mixed use of public and private for this project. He noted there is definitely support for a community center but there was not support to pay for it, which is what led to this hybrid project. The private portion will help pay for the public portion of the project. Member Jones indicated she chaired the Hornet's Nest Committee and in that committee they came to a public /private way of funding a public amenity and that was by leasing space for retail and a. service business, which works really well with the city and arena.. Their lease ends up paying for part of the building, capital cost and operational costs of the building. She noted by partnering with a private company they could make a community center affordable and that would give the city the most, flexibility in the future and with what might change. Member Segreto stated the kind of public /private partnership where the city owns the whole project and lease increases the risk of the city and also requires that they get all of the financing. Member Steel stated if they have concrete numbers to look at she thought they would have a better understanding of this project and it may make them all more confident. Member Jacobson stated one thing she found most frustrating is that the Morris Leatherman survey did say the neighborhoods did not want apartments or condos and she thought the private part of the project will have to be housing because how could anything else support public, so that is what does not fit with her. Member Gieseke stated there is a lot of emotional investment with different people. He thanked Mr. Neuendorf for the report and efforts. Mr. Neuendorf thanked the Park Board for their time and indicated he would be happy to come back in the future with another update. Vll. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS VII.A.

CALL TO ORDER Chairman Olson called the meeting to order at 7:35 a.m. 11. ROLL CALL Answering roll call were Members Carrabelle, Christiansen, Crain, Currie, Elliott, Kinetin, Olson, and Schwartz. Members Absent: Members Benson and Reed Staff in attendance: Kristin Aarsvold, Edina Park and Recreation Department Supervisor. Others in attendance: Dick Crockett. 111. APPROVAL OF MINUTES In reference to the October 31, 2014, the sixth paragraph, it should state, "...stppeFted served..." The October 31, 2014 minutes were approved as amended. The December 19, 2014 minutes were approved as presented. IV. UPDATE ON CONSTRUCTION AND DONOR RECOGNITION Member Elliott provided an. update on the construction process. He discussed the installation of the sentinels and the engraving process and stated that the memorial font has .been recommended. He stated that the Design Committee has met and has proposed quotes, sizing, and font. He advised that the recognition of donors was also discussed and recommended that the monument and the donor recognition should be separate: He stated that the recommendation is to have a separate bronze plaque, which recognizes donors for their time and /or financial contribution. It was further recommended that additional signage, such as a kiosk, could be placed further away with additional information on the monument and the park in general. He stated that the Design Committee believes . . that it would be too much work to create the kiosk within this group. He believed that. perhaps someone with more energy could complete that project, noting that while it would be nice to have the kiosk completed in conjunction with the monument that would not be a necessity. Member Crain agreed that a separate group could work on the sign as the Design Committee is already involved in the monument and donor recognition. Member Kojetin stated that there is a similar kiosk in another park of the City. Member Schwartz referenced a name listed for the memorial and provided input that perhaps a title should be included. Ms. Aarsvold stated that she can work with the Communications Department and other City, staff regarding the kiosk, to ensure that the sign would match with the updating of signs that is currently occurring. Members Kojetin, Currie and Schwartz also volunteered their efforts. Member Kojetin asked for additional information regarding the benches. Member Elliott stated that the bench plans moved forward as proposed in the design concept, with black metal and wooden slots. Member Kojetin commented that the brush near the monument should be cleared prior to the celebration. Member Schwartz stated that there are some differences in rank and /or title found in searching different resources. It was the consensus of the Committee to use the rank/title listed at Fort Snelling. Member Elliott stated that the Design Committee have also talked about the level of contribution that should be recognized, specifically whether the recognition should be all inclusive or whether there should be guidelines for recognition. Dick Crocket provided additional information on the number and level of donors. He advised there were 368 donors in total, with 43 at $500 and above, and a reduction to 27 at the $1,000 and above level. He stated that there will be a website, which recognizes all donors. It was the consensus of the Committee that a link to the recognition website could be provided on the kiosk. Member Schwartz confirmed that the in -kind donations were not included in the list. Member Christiansen reviewed the donor list composed by the Design Committee, which includes donors that donated $1,000, and over, the in kind service donations, and past and present Members of the Committee. Member Currie questions if the actual. names would need to be listed for the Members. of the Committee or whether the focus should remain on the memorial. Member Crain explained that the placement of the donor recognition would be away from the memorial so that it does not compete. He explained that the contributions of the Committee are important to the creation of the memorial. Member Schwartz stated that he agreed that perhaps the names should not be listed. He believes that the less information, the more important that information becomes. Chairperson Olson stated that the names of the Members are important because of the contribution they have made to seeing this through to creation. Ms. Aarsvold agreed that there are other names that could be removed in lieu of not listing the Committee names. It was determined that the Design Committee would continue to work on that issue and would bring back potential layouts for the recognition as discussed as well as another option which would include donors of $500 and above. The consensus was to include the names of all past and present Committee Members; the Councilmembers that were involved will be listed separately; Dick Crocket as a Member of the Committee, with the Edina Community Foundation to be listed separately. Member Elliott confirmed that there would not be double recognition, in example if a Member of the Committee donated over $1,000 they would not be doubly listed. Member Christiansen continued to review the recommendation recognition list including specific City Officials and other elected officials. Member Currie pointed out a punctuation issue that should be double checked for the quotes. V. BUDGET STATUS UPDATE Dick Crockett reviewed the budget status for the project including the total amount of project funds, funds spent, and funds remaining. Vt. CELEBRATION UPDATE Chairman Olson stated that he contacted the elected officials for the area to invite them to the.' celebration. He noted that once responses are finalized the Committee can determine who should speak at the event. He noted that he has also reached out to determine possible bands that could attend. He stated that tents will be setup and the Committee can also determine the Veteran that speaks at the event. Member Currie questioned if current representatives from the different branches of armed forces have been invited. The Committee was unsure how to do that. Member Schwartz stated that following the previous meeting he did reach out to relatives of those listed and believed that there would be relatives in attendance at the celebration. He noted that some of those individuals are older and would require close parking, perhaps assistance and assigned seating for those individuals. He also believed that one person should be allowed to speak representing the. relatives. Ms. Aarsvold stated that the Committee is going to attempt to have Boy Scouts present to pass out programs and assist people in getting to their seats. She also. noted that perhaps some golf carts could be used to transport people. Member Elliott stated that if relatives to those recognized on the memorial are coming in from out of town, host families can be selected that would shuttle those people from the airport to their hotel and from the hotel to the event. Chairperson Olson stated that the next meeting for the Committee will be on February 27, 2015.. Member Currie stated that in the past there has been discussion on renaming the park as Veteran's Memorial Park and questioned if that could occur before the celebration. Ms. Aarsvold stated that is not possible. She noted that any renaming of the parks that may occur goes through the Park Commission. VII. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 8:33 a.m. MINUTES CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA BUILDING CONSTRUCTION BOARD COMMUNITY ROOM JULY 23, 2012 7:30AM I. CALL TO ORDER Chair Sean Wenham called the meeting of the Edina Building Construction Board to order at 7:30 AM. 11. ROLL CALL Members Present: Sean Wenham, Eric Strobel, Scott Busyn, Pete Simpson Members Absent: None City Staff Present: Chief Building Official Steve Kirchman, Environmental Health Spec Solvei Wilmot, Permit Tech Jackie Onischuk, Fire Chief Marty Scheerer Guests: Applicant DeeDee Drays, Neighbors Martin and Dona Freeman (5537 Woodcrest Dr), Ann Marie Rogers(5541 Woodcrest Dr) III. APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA Meeting Agenda vtas approved as submitted. IV. APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA A. Approval of Minutes Member Strobel moved approval of the minutes of March 23, 2012 with member Busyn 2 d. All voted aye motioned carried. V. COMMUNITY COMMENT None VI REPORTS /RECOMMENDATIONS City Environment Health Specialist Solvei Wilmot noted that City Code 450.25 requires a fence around the pool at 5633 Woodcrest Dr and does not provide for a variance. The applicant, DeeDee Drays is looking at the creek as an alternate which would have to meet or exceed the fencing requirements. The creek bed itself when it is dry is not adequate enough to meet these requirements. Vegetation as a barrier can be trimmed, cut or die off and is not a substitute for fencing. Fencing on the neighbor's property does not complete the enclosure of the Drays property, someone can wander into this property. For these reasons Wilmot has denied the applicant's request to use Minnehaha Creek as a fence for her pool. Wilmot showed photos of the property which were included in the packet. These Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 photos were taken 2011 when the creek was low. When the building permit packet was submitted approved plans included the fence. Drays has now come back and wishes to not include the fence but to get approval for using the Minnehaha Creek as the fence line. Wilmot went on with more pictures explaining the issues relative to the request. Concerns of hers were life and safety issues on having children wandering into property when creek is low. Member Simpson questioned if we have helped others in similar situations. Wilmot said no. Simpson asked about the boulders on property being considered as fencing. Wilmot said that it would not be considered as a fence because they are climbable. Simpson asked who had more authority over the Creek - the Watershed District or the City. Building Official Steve Kirchman noted that the Watershed District regulates the creek, and if they don't allow fencing a certain distant from the creek then the fence or some other method for surrounding the pool must be in place. The Watershed and City have different rules and he doesn't know which agency trumps the other in this case. Member Strobel asked what the set back was from creek. Kirchman said typical setback is 50' for structures, but doesn't know if fences are considered structures by the MCWD. Chair Wenham asked if the City contacted MCWD. Kirchman said that we did not. Wenham noted that if we were to follow the code exactly, (on the enclosed survey) it would be the green line which would be her property line there would have to be 4' fence around the entire pool area but the fence can also be put around the entire property. Is there a rule on where fence can be put in relation to the creek? Wilmot said that it would be have to be around that whole area but could be just around the pool. Wenham asked if a 4' fence around the whole property would be acceptable. Wilmot said correct. Wenham asked if there was a rule to where the fence could go in relation to the creek? Wilmot mentioned that we do not have clarity on that. Strobel while looking at the survey with the red line as lot lines it is 15 -20 feet from creek. Wilmot said that there would be an accurate survey in with the permit packet with correct survey lines. Drays said that the overhead is an accurate survey. Member Strobel said that you could not put a fence along the creek because she does not own the property. Drays said no that it would cut through the middle of the backyard. Strobel asked if there was a barrier that is not on the Drays property back by the creek would that count? Because the edge of the creek is not on the property. Wilmot said that was correct. We (the City) look at it as the property owner's responsibility to apply fencing on her own property and since the creek is not her property she cannot use that. Strobel asks if there is any difference of concern between the feeder creek and the access points along that of the Minnehaha Creek? Wilmot said that any access point at any location of level to get into the backyard to have access to the swimming pool. Strobel said that it looks like it is easier to walk over the feeder creek then Minnehaha Creek, so if you put a fence across from the Freemans green fence straight across blocking the feeder through all the brush would it satisfy the requirements? Wilmot said that it does cover the rear yard of the property. Kirchman said he believes it may be adequate. You are here today to consider an alternate. Her alternate is the creek and whatever else is there. If that is adequate for you fine, if you think you want to add something to that, additional plants then that I believe that is OK. Kirchman pointed out different areas of where her fence could go. As long as someone can't get to the pool without crossing a 4' fence or its equivalent. Strobel said that we can't relieve the homeowner of the requirements of the ordinance is but what we can do is approve other materials in lieu of a fence. And so the ordinance specfically allows other materials approved by the Building Official and we can advise the Building Official to approve different materials. So if we think grass is equivalent to a non - climbable fence, we could approve this. Member Busyn asked if we have ever granted someone else in this situation for not having a fence. Wilmot said no. Busyn noted that the neighbor has a fence, so we've never had an alternative fence approved? Wilmot said that as you have Page 2 of 10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 indicated the neighbors do have a fence which is on an elevated property and they have a wall and it is considered a non - climbable, 4' high fence. Member Simpson questioned that if there were another set of rocks that surrounded the pool and came to 4' would that be acceptable? Wilmot said that the boulders she felt would not be acceptable as they were climbable. Simpson noted that in the report the City first approved it and then did not approve why was that? Wilmot said it was first an inquiry without a permit submittal and was discussed with Kirchman to have an alternative fencing. It was not approved at that time for we did not have a permit application with plans and survey. Busyn noted that there was a letter forwarded to her. Wilmot said that after the permit and plans were received was when we did not approve the use of the creek. Strobel asked that when we say non - climbable, non - climbable by who? He went on to read the ordinance in saying it's an 11 gauge woven wire mesh material that's what the definition of non - climbable is. Members moved to the aerial photo. Member Simpson pointed out he couldn't get across the creek at his height. Came by side area and would rather go cross over the creek area. It's a fairly good size moat in the back. Also on the aerial it was pointed out where the side area (feeder) was from the Minnehaha Creek area. Simpson noticed that the side creek is over grown in the wintertime that might not be as bad and not quite a threat at that time and hopefully there would be a cover on the pool. Chair Wenham said that he thought a young child would not wander across the creek but could wander through the feeder creek area. He walked through there and it was not a pleasant experience. He saw three barriers in question, the creek on one side, the feeder which is very, very dry and the access through the brush behind the neighbor's fence. And do all provide sufficient barriers to children wandering through? In his opinion, yes. Does it satisfy the requirements of the code, no. But that is why we are here is to decide. Are the 3 areas acceptable? Member Strobel wanted to know if we were aware of anytime previously where the City has denied a similar application where a property owner wanted to use the creek as a barrier. Wilmot said there were no other requests but would like to take a moment to point out that we look at the property owner as the responsible party and for you to consider park land as an acceptable alternative does not relive the property owner of their responsibility. Member Strobel asked if we instructed the homeowner to maintain a vegetation fence along the creek and then the city or whoever owned the property came along to cut it down the homeowner would not be able to stop it. Wilmot said that is correct. They can only manage what is on their property. Member Busyn noticed a rain garden. Drays said that was a requirement for the pool. Busyn wanted to know if they also asked for a wetland buffer? Kirchman said no, the rain garden area it was simply to replace the fill that she put in the area regulated by the MCWD. Simpson asked if there was a letter from the Watershed District allowing a berm near the creek would that satisfy the requirements. Busyn said that they would make you dig another hole for flood issues. Drays mentioned that the Watershed District has asked her to be part of the creek preservation program which is meeting on Friday. They are designing what they want to do in the tall grass and what they want to do is to build it up and plant native grasses because there is erosion that is happening along the creek and the native grasses /plants and rocks that they put up there root better and help prevent erosion from going into the creek so I have to sign an affidavit that says I will maintain it and continue to keep it that way because it is provided for the property owners at no expense. And they do have to get my permission, they can't do it without my permission even though some people in here say Page 3 of 10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 it is creek property they consider it my property. And if I am in the program I have to maintain it for as long as I am in that home. She went on to mention that she did measure the depth of the creek from the bottom of the creek to the top of the grass not just the water line but there is a steep bank you have to climb up and at the low point it was 4'8" so it is higher than 4' because people cannot walk on water so it does meet the 4' requirement as an alternative. Strobel asked what she meant when she said top of grass? Drays explained that the creek water in Oct 2011 was at an all -time low it was between 18 -20" at its lowest point and with weeds that a small child would not be able to navigate through but from the low water level you still have several feet of the creek bank to get into my yard which is over 4'. This is a point that should not be overlooked. Member Simpson asked what the insurance company says? Drays said that they are fine with side yard fences. They consider the creek and feeder creek to be barriers. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District said it has always been considered a barrier for purposes of fence requirements. They do not want to see fence along the creek. To me the process has been really frustrating when I hear at the beginning of the meeting that alternatives could have been purposed along the way. Property laws are entirely different from where I moved from. Did not realize all the "red tape" needed to build the pool and also home. The process of building the pool was a lot of interaction between myself, a surveyor, who I paid thousands of dollars, the Watershed District and the City. It was quite a process. I don't know at some point who had authority over what because everybody needed to work together. But at all times the Watershed was clear that the creek was a barrier and it wasn't until the bitter end of this planning that on August 28 from Solvei I was told the creek is not an acceptable barrier and then met with Kirchman on September 23 in his office. In order to get my permit Solvei came to the site and changed her mind that now I have to fence something that I never planned to fence during this entire design process and being told the creek is a natural barrier. So really frustrating that if I was told to put boulders 1 foot higher than the boulders you selected you would be fine. Do this or do that it would have been really good to know. Member Strobel asked when was the pool put in? Drays said that the pool was started last fall and wasn't finished until end May beginning of June of this year. Nothing was started until final approval plan of the pool. But the plan there had been months and months of planning of the design, location the shape of the pool, had she known that the creek was not a natural barrier I would of loved to of had open dialog, where someone would of said to me, we are not going to take that position anymore and it is not going to be a natural barrier. But the City and Watershed very much work together on this process and all along the creek tells me no you are not allowed to put a fence up along the creek, we don't want a fence on the creek the creek is a natural barrier and so now I have 2 % to 3 foot high boulders. Had I known that I would of selected 4 foot tall. Strobel asked when was the pool permit approved? Drays said it was September 23, after I had to changed things from Solvei's letter. Simpson asked if there were City inspectors on the property before September. Drays said that Solvei came in September. Simpson asked when did you file for the permit? Drays thought it was in June. Simpson then said the permit was put in on June and no one from the City appeared on the property until September? Drays said that was correct, which is frustrating because a lot of planning goes into it, from looking at the site, there is no requirement to fence in my entire yard there is a requirement to just fence in my pool. This pool based on so many different variations, such as setbacks, you're going to dig a hole and hit a spring from the creek and it is going to lift the pool out of the water. The nonsense that was encountered, I could keep you here for a long time. So I shrink down the pool to half the size of the pool that I originally had hoped for. It doesn't connect to two points of the house. One side of the pool (overhead) connects to the house where the other side where a fence would have to enclose it would attach to an open air patio. I would of liked to of had pool the length of the house, put a fence around it but that is not an option. Page 4 of 10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 Drays went on to show where she thought the fence would have to go. It's really frustrating hearing alternatives. Someone from the City could have been to my house many, many months. This process went back and forth. Steve could probably show you how thick the file is and how many surveys I had. All this happened before the pool permit was issued. Then to find out September 23, "oh guess what, we never mentioned this before, and now we are changing what we told you in August and now what the creek has told you all along you can't rely on. Member Strobel questioned if the letter you received September 23 from Wilmot was received after your pool design was already finalized based on side yard fencing and was about to submit it for issuance of my pool permit. Drays explained that she was trying to get her pool permit issued, she had applied many, many months before, permit couldn't be issued, Kirchman said I should apply for the permit showing a fence and appeals later. Strobel wanted to know, if as of September 24, was there a hole in the ground? Drays: No Strobel: So, by the time you found out that the City was not going to allow you to proceed you had not done any construction. Drays: No construction. Strobel: So you proceeded with construction of the pool and the design that you chose knowing that it wasn't going to be approved Drays: Knowing that I had a really great chance at winning this. Strobel: You knew it had not been approved Drays: Correct. So the side yard setback, I have 2 young children and went to great expense, and my pool company will tell you how complicated it was to do a pool cover with the corners. The pool cover can withstand adults walking on top of it and when I am not at home that pool cover is on all the time. The side yard fences, the Freemans are here (5537 Woodcrest) who have lived much longer that me (18 years), I have never had a child enter my property from the creek ,never even seen one — you would have to give your child a machete for them to go through this. Wenham: Let's have the Freemans talk, and let's keep mind that young children would move into the neighborhood as well. We have to cover our bases. Mr. Freeman: I spend a huge amount of time in the back yard and sometimes get across the feeder creek it is a chore. I do wild life photography and in the 18 years I've lived there I have not seen kids or anyone wander in off the creek you really have to work at it. Mrs. Freeman : It might be worth mentioning that on the other side of the feeder creek is Pamela Park, and is a wilderness and from there to 58`h St is brush, weeds, cattails, pond. The pond that is open to the street. Mr. Freeman: Actually you go across the feeder pond and there is fairly large pond with a muddy bottom and if you are concerned with drowning risks someone wandering into something Pamela park is full of Page 5 of 10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 those things and that is what we are next to. It just seems to me that just getting across the creek or feeder creek and navigating around the swampy pond can go from anything from muddy residue to over flowing in a rainy time. Can vary a lot and quickly. There are so many natural hazards around there. My perception is the side yard fence that the real risk is people coming off of the street and right now there is no barrier to that. The side yard fence would accomplish that. If you go there and look, which I know a few of you have, and you look at the big picture that the hazards are really everywhere and apparent to the topography of the park and creek which is why we moved there. It is not easy to get through. Drays: There are no requirement to fence the whole yard that's clear. What is the alternative fencing around the pool? Side yard fencing would prevent children from drowning in the pool as well as the creek. Putting a side yard fence in would prevent children from coming in, I don't understand why that wouldn't be a solution where now you have a home that protects children from drowning in the pool and drowning in the creek. Wenham: It's not your intentions are really in question here right? Drays: But there are no requirements that I do a whole yard, either we fence the pool or do side yard fences. I understand this and if this is really the issue, I would be happy to do put fencing to close this off. Strobel: You can't Wilmot: The City of Edina owns right there. Wenham: While I was there, there was the old concrete bases from other fence posts from a long time ago it was part of a chain linkfence it had been grown through and married to the buckthorn that had grown into it but it was not connected all the way up (pointed to the bottom corner or property picture.) Drays: This is supposed to be the City of Edina's easement, this meets 4' alternate, you go from the bottom of the creek to where my yard starts you have 4' and higher, and this is actually pretty deep also The water is not deep the ditch this is very dry and often doesn't have flowing waters. Busyn: Why don't you want to put a fence around the pool? Drays: Because working with the watershed it kept shrinking smaller, smaller in size where originally before I knew setbacks, springs popping up it was going to be much larger it would be more connected to the house. Busyn : You didn't want to just put a fence around the perimeter of the pool? Drays: No there is no logical point for it to connect to the house. It's open. She showed on the survey pictures why it would not work. If I had known I would of picked 4' boulders but you still need some type of access point down I still feel that the side yard fences are such a simple dual protection, protecting children from pool and creek. Minnehaha Creek has always been considered an acceptable barrier for fence purposes. Wenham: A asked for any more community comments. Page 6 of 10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 Ann Marie Rogers: who lives at 5641 Woodcrest Dr is here to support Drays and thinks the side yard fence would be adequate. Wenham: Asks Drays if she is done and any questions for her, Any thoughts on solutions? Simpson: I have read the code and one of the things that bothers me about black and white codes and black and white interpretation is the City of the Edina. It is very, very important that we protect the people but I also now we have to be realistic about it. When I walked the property I didn't realize how deep the creek was. It's very difficult to get across and to me it is a very formidable barrier. Second thing is the side creek there is a swamp on the other side and if the City might grant permission to put the fence back up. I saw those rocks and it is an effort to get up them. I think we have a barrier on the creek, and barrier if a fence put back up. I think we really protect the intent of the law and maybe not the letter of the law. Wenham: So you would be comfortable the way it is? Simpson: Yes, with the side fencing and the City of Edina letting her add to that fence and the side creek. Adding some fencing down to the feeder creek. Walking around the pond in Pamela Park is a swamp. Strobel: There is a trail around Pamela Park over by the feeder. You can cross the creek with easy access. It is not a steep bank it is a gradual sloop. It would be easy for a 6 year old to cross over. Members examined overhead pictures showing where the trail was and the easy access to Drays property for a child. Concerned about people accessing an attractive nuisance. You can't pick a better spot than Pamela Park for a little child to come in and screw around. It's easy to get into the Drays yard. Drays: I know where you are talking about and those branches are about 25' from where the actual land ends. The overhanging branches were in the way for kayaks. Strobel: These are not overhanging branches, these are branches lying in the creek bed. Drays: Went to overhead and went to show where the branches were in relation to her property the property. Strobel: At the overhead he showed the area he was referring to and pointed out that they were 2 feet from property line. So it is not 60' from property, and it is less than 10' from the trail. Ann Marie: Mentioning that is very hard to navigate through all the brush. We don't see kids back there. Strobel: You can see the trail head from Drays property. I don't think you can see it from your property(Rogers). In fairness across the creek from your property it is very much more dense then the Drays property. Wenham: What is your suggestion? Page 7 of 10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 Strobel: Minnehaha Creek is a barrier, but the feeder creek is not. It is an attractive nuisance that draws kids, not keeps them away. If you can put a fence across to block from the feeder creek to the edge of Minnehaha Creek behind the tree that is on the corner of your property and do side yards I would be far less concerned about kids accessing the pool. Solvei: what I am hearing is that you are putting responsibility to the City of Edina to provide fencing for her pool on what is City land. Drays: I could put it in at my expense Strobel: Went on showing where he thought the fencing should go Drays: Showed where her trampoline was which is City property, doesn't know at what point the City easement is pertaining to creek. Would need City permission to put up a fence in feeder area. Strobel: So the side fence is good and even a 4' wall on the creek side doesn't provide an entire barrier around the pool. The reality is you just have to walk up to the deck to get into the pool you need some barrier. Busyn: I empathize with the applicant. It would of been great to come up with a solution for the wall. I don't think It is the City's responsibility to do design, it is up to your contractor. I walked the property and it's was pretty manicured with low vegetation 6" tall. At the house is there was an open spot. I don't think you should rely on the grasses as a barrier. I'ts not permanent, it dies in off in fall, new homeowners mow down to the creeks edge, I've build new homes on the creek and have seen people mow right down to the water's edge. I'm concerned about the grasses being considered a fence and the fact the 4' barrier being the creek bed is also variable over time. When creek goes up boaters would have access to property. The Creek could dry up and provide access that way. These are over the course of time that is why the codes are written, to prevent the maybe unlikely scenario. I'm concerned about the creek being the barrier, I do think there is a way to put a fence that is attractive to you. There was discussion between Busyn and Drays on ways to fence off her property. Busyn: I would like to see fence around the pool Wenham: I did not go across Pamela Park and see the vulnerable area along the feeder creek. If a child is going to wander and have a drowning accident it is going to be in the creek not the pool. I believe that the creek provides a barrier, the feeder creek is the only vulnerability that I see and whether it's a fence or some other format it needs to be taken in consideration. The City is not required to fence all the ponds here as well to prevent a child from wandering. My solution is to have more discussion on what we do around feeder creek. I would accept Minnehaha Creek as a barrier knowing that there are sideyard fences on both sides. Something in that bottom section needs to be done. I think it is in our interest to make recommendations for how to do that. We are also a city of residents who are taxpayers, and we have to make sure those are the true customers of the city and protect the children. Wilmot: I still have concerns. It was brought to our attention that where the property line is and we are relieving the property owner of the fencing requirements because we are having the park land act as part of her fencing. I am concerned about the property line with the code. Page 8of10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 Wenham: We are not making a judgment right now. We are making a recommendation and discussion and we will have to put together our complete recommendation. Will we do that today Steve? Kirchman: We are at the point now where a motion can be made and hopefully seconded and then there will probably be more a little more discussion to massage the motion, make changes to the motion to make sure everyone is OK with the motion and then you vote on it. If it passes fine if not make another motion. Wenham: I will make two motions. First is to support the Minnehaha Creek as a barrier and the second is how to deal with the bottom piece the feeder. I would like to make a motion to accept Minnehaha Creek as an appropriate boundary along that line of the property with the consideration of the side yard fences are installed. Second: Simpson, Aye: Strobel, Nay: Scott Wenham: My second motion would be that we defer for the moment the recommendation on that bottom piece until we all have had a chance to go out and visit Pamela Park and see it again from a pretty important perspective that Member Strobel saw and be able to come back and make a judgment that we think a fence should be installed or not and how that fence would work since it is City property not Drays property. Strobel: So I think the appropriate motion is to table consideration of the solution to the SE quradrant of the property for further discussion at another meeting pending two points. One, we need clarity of the property line and the City of Edina interest as opposed to the Watershed's interest in that piece property and then pending adequate survey by the members I would move to table that consideration until a future meeting. There was discussion on getting an accurate survey. Strobel: Wants to know who controls that ou lot. Kirchman: Went to overhead to clarify what was accepted and what needed at the future meeting. Wenham: Asked if Kirchman could find out who owns that piece of property by the feeder creek. Strobel: Tabled the motion until our next meeting. There was discussion about the orange fencing that is up right now and where Drays can place it. Question was if we would accept a construction fence by the feeder creek until that question is resolved. Wenham: Once the side fences are in can the orange fencing go up along the creek, but not before. Strobel: If the City or Watershed says no you cannot fence on the SE border where does that put us? Kirchman: You have accepted the creek as the barrier. If Drays can't provide a barrier around the pool because the City or MCWD won't let her put a fence up at SE corner she is really back at square one as to complete the rest of the barrier. Your motion is to accept the creek as a barrier really gets her only Page 9of10 Construction Board of Appeals - Meeting Minutes, 7/23/2012 part way there, but she should realize that it doesn't get her all the way there. The feeder creek section of the barrier still has to be resolved. If it can't be resolved by some type of fence she will have to put a fence somewhere else. Strobel: For clarity you should have an amendment to the motion clarifying that the feeder creek is not an acceptable barrier. Minnehaha Creek is an acceptable barrier but feeder creek is not. There was more discussion on where the temporary orange fence can go. Kirchman went up to the overhead to point out where acceptable areas for the temporary orange fence. Wenham: All in favor to the amendment to the motion Ayes: Strobel, Simpson, Busyn Strobel: The amendment is the Minnehaha Creek will be accepted as an alternative under section 450.25 for the fencing requirements. The feeder creek would not satisfy the requirements under 450.25. Second: Simpson, Ayes: Wenham, Nay: Busyn VII. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS None was received VIII. CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Member Simpson wouid like to see senior management review through this entire process from a to z It concerns me as a resident of Edina that we are in a reactive mode with the city staff. We pay top dollar for the expertise of City staff and they see a hundred lots a year with this kind of stuff. I would like to have staff go through and to give options. Chair Wenham said that have opportunities to do that now that we have an annual meeting scheduled. Member Simpson would like to see why it took June to September to get the Drays plans accepted. IX.

Select Board Chair Board Member Kip Peterson nominated Scott Busyn, Board Member Jennifer Carlson seconded the motion; All voted aye; motion carried. V. Approval of the Construction Board of Appeal Minutes Board Member Kip Peterson moved to approve the Board of Appeal's Minutes from the July 23, 2012 meeting. Board Member Jennifer Carlson seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. VI. Community Comments Guest, Heather Biel asked how the Board of Appeals was formed & under what circumstances do they meet. David Fisher explained there is typically a Board in -house at the city level, or it can be deferred to the State if not dealt with in a timely manner. So, if the building official, permit holder, contractor, architect don't agree on something, it is brought before the Board (example: City of 1 Maplewood had a change of use in occupancy, owner disagreed, it was appealed, there was a Board of Appeals hearing, five members voted on the appeal after some discussion). Usually there is a dedicated Building Official for any given city, someone assigned by their City Council or City Manager. There is an opportunity to submit application for an appeal, but there is an attempt to resolve the issue before it goes to the Board. Ms. Biel commented that this meeting is being tape recorded. Will meeting minutes, audio be made available on our web site? David Fisher replied that written minutes will be made available to the public. City Attorney, Roger Knutson also included that when someone disagrees with the building code and its interpretation, then they can bring the issue before the board, but it is limited to building code issues, not zoning issues /ordinances. There is a separate Board of Adjustments for zoning. Lori Grotz asked about Board of Adjustments. The Planning Commission is the Board of Adjustments, per City Attorney, Roger Knutson. Some discussion ensued regarding time limits for appeals. Knutson states that there is a 30 -day limit for both Construction Board of Appeals & Board of Adjustments. VII. Reports /Recommendations Chief Building Official David Fisher Presented Findings of Fact: See Attachment A On March 6, 2015, the Edina Construction Board of Appeals ( "Board ") met at a Special Meeting to consider the appeal of James Grotz. The appeal was conducted pursuant to the Minnesota State Building Code Rule 1300.0230 and City Code Section 2 -362. The Board's jurisdiction is limited to hearing and deciding appeals of orders, decisions and determinations made by the building official relative to the application and interpretation of the Building Code. Mr. Grotz was present at the Special Meeting. The Board, after considering all pertinent information, makes the following Findings of Fact and Decision: FINDINGS OF FACT Mr. Grotz has appealed three decisions of the City's Building Official, David Fisher, concerning the construction of a single family dwelling on Hennepin County Property ID 19- 028 -24 -1 1- 0012: Appeal One: Mr. Grotz asserts that two window wells were never built as shown on the approved plans and that "city staff must calculate the revised interior side yard setback." Appeal Two: Mr. Grotz asserts that "backfill with clean rock behind wall..." is in direct violation of R403.3.3. Appeal Three: Mr. Grotz asserts he has a right to obtain a copy of the copyrighted building plans. 2 DECISION I . Appeal One is dismissed. This is not a building code issue and is not within the Board's jurisdiction. The required setback was properly calculated by the Planning Department. Revised plans were submitted by the builder for the construction of the window wells. The location of the window wells are in the same location as the original plans for which the building permit was approved. 2. Appeal Two is denied. The window wells are in compliance with the Building Code. The 2007 Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) R403.3.3 Drainage: "Final grade shall be sloped in accordance with Section R401.3 In other than Group I Soils, as detailed in Table R405.1, gravel or crushed stone beneath horizontal insulation below ground shall drain to daylight or into an approved sewer system." Based on the code the drainage for the window wells are in compliance. The windows wells will have crushed gravel and drain tile that is tied into the foundation drain tile. The foundation drain tile goes to a pump basket that gets pumped to daylight. This is in an approved method. 3. Appeal Three is dismissed. This is not a Building Code issue and is not within the Board's jurisdiction. The plans Mr. Grotz requested are copyrighted. The Minnesota Department of Administration in Advisory Opinion 08 -009 has opined that the City cannot make copies of copyrighted plans without the permission of the copyright holder. The copyright holder has not granted Mr. Grotz permission to copy the plans. Chief Building Official David Fisher presented his staff findings on the three issues before the Board today regarding 1) window well calculations & setbacks, 2) drainage, 3) copyright issues. He explained to the Board and others present that a permit was issued for 5509 Park Place, in October 2014, after being reviewed & approved by all city staff (Planning, Engineering & Building Depts.) Regarding grading & drainage on this plan, the window wells were not exact to the original proposed plan submitted from the builder, he re- submitted a more decorative retaining wall versus a poured wall to the foundation. However, it is in the same location and appears to meet the same contours, based on his findings. Typically, the Planning Department does not review window wells when the plans come in. Window wells are required for egress in existing homes, as well as new construction. So, if a basement bedroom is added, you are required to install an egress window, which goes below grade. Requirements call for a 9 ft. sq. area in order for a fireman with a full pack to get in to the basement, a code requirement for life safety. If we used the average elevation from the bottom of the window well for the average grade for a new home, most of the existing home setbacks would not be in compliance. So, typically they go across the top of the window well (some use plastic covers /they make a cover that can withstand 400 Ibs). David Fisher further stated that his findings are in the document, compiled by City Attorney, Roger Knutson, asking for 1) The zoning issue to be dismissed, 2) Code compliance issue should be denied 3) Dismiss. David Fisher clarifies the copyright law — if plans are signed or have a copyright syrnbol displayed on them, they are considered copyrighted. If signed by an architect, documents are 3 protected. It doesn't mean you can't view them or can't ask for permission from the architect to make copies, but if they are signed by an architect, they are protected and owned by the architect. Most house files are public documents (i.e. surveys, applications for permits, copies of permits issued). Copyrighted plans are public documents to view, but cannot be copied. So, the copyright law is more a State or Federal law and we cannot make decisions about it, therefore this issue should be dismissed. City Attorney Roger Knutson further reiterated that this does not fall under the Building code. Board member Scott Busyn reiterated that when a building permit is submitted for review and all information is in the Building Dept., (i.e. plans, surveys, and all necessary forms, including a letter which is sent to all residents within 300 ft. of the house being constructed), then any resident or interested party can view the plans. We are not withholding information, other than what can be withheld if it falls under data practice rules. It is not a transparency issue, but purely a copyright issue and protection of that copyright. David Fisher then directed all present to the information provided in their packet (i.e. revised window well plan, storm water drainage plan with contours in it). He also commented that the plan copy size was reduced, so might be difficult to read for the survey and the contours, but when he looks at the survey and the contours to the plan, based on what the window well shows for the slope on the window well, they match and so he doesn't see that there is a change. Scott Busyn commented that he reviewed the packet, which contains great detail. He then requested the applicant to give his presentation but to help us by focusing only on the key points. Applicant, Jim Grotz began his presentation and thanked all present for hearing his appeal. He also states that he assumes this is similar to a public hearing and comments can be made within the three minute time limit. City Attorney Roger Knutson explained that this is not a public hearing and the public is allowed to speak and staff is not limited to three minutes. Scott Busyn also stated that all may speak, if they wish, but limit our comments in the interest of everybody's busy day. Mr. Grotz states that he is an Edina resident and here today regarding 5509 Park Place. He has been told that IRC 2012 does not apply, nor does Minnesota Residential Code, since the permit application for 5509 Park PI was from July 31, 2014. He then directs us to the overhead diagram of egress well with ladder, on the south side, as submitted. It shows an 8" concrete egress well with ladder, on both photos, with directions laid out. The south side is toward their house. He shows us another photo, taken from another property by the same builder and that is an 8" concrete window well. It is made out of support concrete, it is durable, it is 8' deep and it meets the requirements for I" responders to get in and it is going to have a ladder. Additional drawing is from the side and it shows that there will be an 8 ft. concrete window well w /ladder and the east and west are marked. Directing us back to visualize in our minds, he states this is not how 5509 Park PI was built. He further points out a propane flame thrower and a quick -set by a flame thrower to set concrete. Another shot shows the same type of operation. An additional photo is a piece on cold weather concrete, under extremely cold 4 conditions, and he was told by someone at the Department of Labor & Industry that this was a good piece to look at, this project in Owatonna was done well and it was cold weather defined. Mr. Grotz further states that provisions define what cold weather is, for how many days, average temperature for 3 days less than 40 degrees. Further, cold weather concrete masonry procedures are defined, where accessible tent or enclosures are required, to be built around the grout and mortar to keep it from freezing for 48 hours, under temperatures of 40 degrees or less. Mr. Grotz states that on any of the work at 5509 Park Place, there was no heated tent, which would've needed to be present to meet the requirements of the code. He displays a photo of the material that was used at this job site and states that they did not follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation. There is nothing on the web site about curing with a blow torch. An additional opinion was handed out by their engineer, Mr. Eric Zimmerman. He discusses this and states that the rock wall was not protected from subzero temps after the heat was applied. Rocks & mortar froze and acceptable industry practices were not followed. In addition, mortar and /or concrete cannot be quick set with heat. They can be dried out and made non - functional. In his opinion, construction of this wall is in violation of acceptable industry practices, ACI 530, and code requirements for masonry work. Board member Scott Busyn reiterates to Mr. Grotz that he should focus his presentations on the (3) issues for the appeal only and eliminate further details that are not pertinent to his appeal. Mr. Grotz continues that the completed stone walls are in question and points out requirements for setbacks. There was an amendment to the construction plan filed, and that changed the original walls that were to be built from the ones he previously showed to the current walls. Going back to his diagram of window well with ladder, he states that City Planner Cary Teague explained to him that the reason it is done this way is, in terms of measurement, is because of the line across the front, and you can't walk across the back side of that window well without falling in, but this is how it's done and is the city's traditional way of doing it. Mr. Grotz states that applying that same formula to 5509 Park PI and taking the wall across this, this person needed a variance when he changed the setup for these window wells. They are not as originally designed, there was a change form made for that. As a result, it changed the average grade along the house. There is a letter in his packet that says the significance of the grade calculations directly impacts the building setback requirements from the property. It also points to the midpoint of the gable, gable midpoint to the average grade, it changes that. This brings him to his issue on validity of permit. In his review from the IRC, Mr. Grotz states that any jurisdiction, (asks us to substitute "jurisdiction" with the "City of Edina "), the government that has adopted this code under due legislative authority and permit is document, having been issued by the authority, having jurisdiction that authorizes performance of specified activity. He also states that in Minnesota rules, permits assuming to give authority to violate or cancel provisions of the code or other ordinances (that means Edina's ordinances), of the jurisdiction, are not valid. 67 Mr. Grotz explains that the Construction Mgmt. Plan was intended to hold builders accountable for their construction project and minimize impact on adjacent properties. The checklist, developed by the Building Official, states that a completed CMP needs to be signed by a contractor. Once a checklist is required, it becomes a code requirement, under the State building code. By signing, they understand that they are responsible for the conditions listed and it is no longer a construction mgmt. plan, it becomes a construction contract. Under page 2, item 7, storm water & erosion control, it states that the permit holder must adhere to the approved plans. He further states that The New Old House Co. did not sign this contract and therefore it is an invalid permit (if any requirement of the local jurisdiction is not met, which means Edina) it is invalid. Mr. Grotz adds that another example of that, the survey site plan requirements, scope all required surveys. Since the building official signed this, it has to be on every one of the items. He states that David Fisher exercised his discretion to leave them off, since he exercised discretion to create the form. Mr. Grotz continues that his letter in October 28, 2014, states that the requirements to obtain a building permit were not met and it was sent to the building official. Additionally, there were changes made along the way, not only the window wells. There was a survey dated Jan 9, 2015 and change form for walls. On the survey, it states proposed catch basin at end of existing pipe. Existing pipe was torn out when the house was demolished, so the change doesn't show any of this. Further, when the design is radically changed and impacts the use of it, it can have zoning implications and must go back to the Planning Commission. In this case, that's what happened and has to go back to the Planning Commission for a variance, in Mr. Grotz's opinion. He also shows an aerial map of the neighborhood, which also shows the house under construction and their house. Area is a D, built in 1950, common law retaining walls were built to create five buildable lots and to allow homeowners to have flat lots in the back and use them without steep slope to adjoining property. He further points out a common law retaining wall on their side yard facing to the west, and one facing to the east & that the retaining wall extended all the way up to property boundary. He directs us to a picture of the existing house, lot, and landscaping @ 5509 Park Place (further clarified by Building Official David Fisher) before the house was torn down, as was submitted for permit. Mr. Grotz states that none of this was going to be changed. Scott Busyn asked if Mr. Grotz is referring to the landscape detail and stone detail in the back lot line before the house was torn down and why this is relevant to the discussion. Mr. Grotz explains it is being shown for drainage purposes. Board member, Doug Hall, asks what the black pipe is that is displayed in the photo Mr. Grotz is sharing. Mr. Grotz states that there used to be a tree there and it goes to a catch basin. Mr. Grotz continues that when the contractor submitted his permit, it was shown that the retaining walls in the back would be unchanged. He also shows a photo from his roof and points out a significant difference in elevation from the properties in this area. He also points out the catch basin that Doug Hall was asking about, it was 30 ", it went to the street, and everything was tiled in the back. Mr. Grotz stated that the builder did not submit this with his permit the way it was being built. Mr. Grotz says that he called the Bldg. Official, David Fisher-, and asked if there was a new storm water management plan. Mr. Fisher, in turn, called the builder and asked for a revised plan. He is not building per plan or Construction Management Plan, per Jim Grotz. Mr. Grotz also displays the new wall going up in the back, with the same approach used on the concrete. Scott Busyn asks if this is where they rebuilt the wall. Mr. Grotz states that they rebuilt the wall in the back, pushing the existing one way back. Mr. Grotz then shows the corner area, before backfill and a refers to a letter in packet from their engineer, Mr. Zimmerman, talking about the backfill here (egress), starts out as clay, then backfills with sand, with sandy material along the side and another view of crushed limestone going in later on in construction. Mr. Grotz explains, as you go thru his slides, that there is this combination of sand in the back and this shelf that was taken out, which is all sand. Looking at the material from a technical perspective, under our 401 -3 and 403 -3, and 403.3.3, when you build a house, you are supposed to take the watera_nd slope it away from the foundation. It all comes under the heading of foundation, an item in your packet. The idea is that you don't want the water to go to your foundation. If you get too much water, it will overload your sump pumps, which could be a real problem for the homeowner. In this case, rather than putting on an impervious clay layer on the south side of the property, it is all either sand and /or it is pit run and now will be crushed limestone on the top. If you look at 401.3, it states that you have to grade the house so that the water goes away from it within the first 10 ft. With crushed limestone, the water is going straight down. Looking at the roof water and the way this has been graded and the way it is proposed to be graded, and because there is clay on their side of the property, when it rains this is all going to go in. David Fisher says this is okay, and it is going to be pumped out, all this water is pumped out through his sump pump. Mr. Grotz states that this is basically an undocumented storage well and was not engineered, the water will go down there, will be pumped out thru the sump pump. But, sump pumps are a major problem when overloaded. This does not meet code, it is not on the survey plan, and not on the engineered plan, and has not been engineered. This could be a very serious problem. The water is supposed to be kept as ground surface water and taken to the street, not sent to the ground which may cause potential problems, not only for the homeowner, but for their property. Unfortunately, the way this is built, this is what will happen, in his opinion. The crushed limestone is not going to meet the requirements of the code. Also, given the steep grades that are being built, this could be a problem, some of the grades look like they are 7 better than 2 -1. Unfortunately, sump pumps and overruns are a big problem in our city and could cause a lot of damage in a basement, if not taken care of. Look at code, what engineer has stated, because they are concerned about the impact it may have on them, but also the future homeowner, if the property is sold and it is not disclosed by an independent agent. Also, on the survey it is not documented as a storage volume and don't know if the proposed catch basin is going to be built because of subsequent revisions that do not show it. Mr. Grotz states that their engineer is a geo- technical engineer, has a lot of experience with this, and asks that the Board review his resume, enclosed in the packet. Lori Grotz states that with the previous grade from the existing retaining wall, the grade behind it was level to the house. So, no water crossed over that. All of the roof drains & back yard water all went to a catch basin, drain tile, and then to the street. They did not get any water. So now with the retaining wall gone, which was 2 '/2 ft., the grade of the house on the side is elevated, some areas 2 '/z ft. Now, instead of a level grade between them, now they have a drop of 5 ft., coming straight down at them and nothing will stop it. No gutters or downspouts are shown, the backyard is elevated, the retaining wall in back was moved back, backfilled with approx. 3 ft. of crushed rock to collect water that's coming from the other property and all directed to the south toward them, down to them or in their basement and they will be drowned out. Mr. Grotz states that he did have another slide that was to be shown from another address, where the prior owner of the property had worked hard to get the former city engineer to get the homeowner upgraded and take water to the street, said he would put a note in the file the next time they get a permit. Now, there is a permit for this address and they don't see anything happening on that address (5504 Dever Dr). Before Jim & Lori Grorz continue on the 3`d issue before the Board today, Scott Busyn interjects that City Attorney, Roger Knutson has already addressed the copyright issue and feels that their energy could be better focused setting up a separate meeting with the City Attorney. Lori Grotz states that the city did allow previous copies of plans and Scott Busyn states that they may have errored in doing so, but copyright law can be handled separately. Roger Knutson also reassures them that he will review the information on copyright law and if they are, in fact, entitled to make copies, then they will be allowed to do so. VIII. Correspondence & Petitions A. Letter Received February 10, 2015 (copy included in packet) B. Letter Received February 20, 2015 (copy included in packet) IX. Chair, Board Member, Staff Comments Scott Busyn then invited anyone to add questions /comments, regarding Mr. Grotz presentation, but to please keep within the 3 minute time limit. Doug Hall asked if the catch basin still remains. Mr. Grotz states that it has been removed, along with the drain tile, with no access to the street. David Fisher states that before this project started, there was a conversation about the drain tile from the back of the property, the retaining wall with the City Engineering Dept. There was a meeting on site, a design professional submitted a document to the city, and City Engineer Ross Bintner reviewed it and did not accept it, until there were changes made. The drainage is supposed to be going around the north side of the house, not the south side. There is 8 -10 ft. on the south side of the house which drains toward that side of the house and does go back down. Re: backfill & drainage, our Engineering Dept. tries to limit water going from neighbor's property and tries to keep it on their property, but you can probably see from the pictures, that some of the topography of the land drained toward their property, probably from even beyond the tree that you saw, from there and back through their property. Mr. Fisher continues that on the back side of the retaining wall that was seen, there was gravel or landscaping stones and water infiltrates through that, too, which would go through that retaining wall, as well. As far as clean fill & backfill, sand & gravel is the best thing one can use for fill & backfill because water does infiltrate through it. That means it goes into the ground and infiltrates in the ground and doesn't go out to the storm sewer. It dissipates in the ground first, which is a better way to actually displace it. I'm not an engineer, but that is common practice. The drain tile that was there, if plugged, could fail, which is what Engineer Ross Bintner explained. So, the plan was to try and get the drainage to the north side, with topography of the land, in order to make it work better. Jim & Lori Grotz do not agree with that and haven't since day I. They think the drain tile should be there, as well as the retaining wall put back in place. The builder has stated that possibly the retaining wall will go back in place, but has not decided yet. He may need to do that for better landscaping, but it is still an unknown, since the project is not done yet. The grading & drainage isn't complete yet, so what is seen today is not what's going to be there. Doug Hall asked for clarification that the retaining wall that may come back is on the south side and David Fisher verified. Scott Busyn asked for clarification, and David Fisher verified, that there is an engineered storm water plan in the city, submitted & approved by a licensed, professional engineer, Environmental Engineer Ross Bintner. However, the Grotz' engineer disagrees with that plan. David Fisher further commented that there is language in the code that the drain tile needs to go to daylight. There is drain tile in the house, drain tile in the window well & foundation that goes up to the sump basket and gets pumped out to daylight, which is an approved method. Yes, mechanical equipment can fail but it is an approved method. Contractor, Mike Sullivan reiterated that it is an approved plan, submitted by an engineer, approved by an independent, and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. He reassured Jim & Lori Grotz that he does intend to be a good neighbor, making sure that water does not go on to their property, and he will have an approved plan which will be followed. E Scott Busyn states that it sounds like there were a lot of revisions required by the city before approval. Heather Biel had comments on a resident's appeal process and addresses (2) questions to City Attorney, Roger Knutson. Does the clock re -set when there are major changes in the plan & what is the process if building occurs before a permit is issued and how can a resident contest this issue. She also states that the current notification that takes place from the city is a great improvement to the residents when major changes are going to take place in their neighborhood. Roger Knutson states that no construction should be taking place before a building permit is issued. Scott Busyn commented that the police may get involved, at that point. David Fisher further addresses the question of working w /out a permit. He states that we issue a stop work order, we request them to get a building permit, and we double fee them for that permit. We definitely hold them accountable for doing what they should do. Roger Knutson states that it is hard to answer when the clock re -sets, based on what the changes are, (Example: building plans show a 2x4, and now changed to a I x2, if bring in a revised plan, then the clock re -sets when the revised plan is approved). Further discussion ensued on 5509 Park Place and Heather Biel states that she believes there were major changes that took place from the permit to what was actually happening on site and directed her comments to Mike Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan states that he doesn't believe there were any major changes. David Fisher states that major changes to a plan, such as changing the elevation cr the footprint of the house, would be considered a major change. Landscaping or drainage on the outside would be an engineering question. If it didn't change the topography of the land, and drainage is still the same, it is still an engineering question, not a building code issue. In this case, where they moved the retaining wall back, we did receive a revised plan. Not right away, but after the fact. We made sure that engineering reviewed again and verified that it was ok. If it wasn't ok, then we would've stopped the job and informed them that they need to get it fixed to meet our satisfaction. Scott Busyn asked for clarification on when the job is completed and requirements on submittal of the as -built survey, as well as when the builder receives a certificate of occupancy. David Fisher clarified that we get an as -built survey for pre- backfill and we get an as -built survey when the job is done. A certificate of occupancy is not given until that as -built survey is provided that the drainage matches. We are trying to slow down giving the cert of occupancy, even a conditional cert of occupancy, to make sure we have the topography. In the wintertime, the landscaping will not be complete. Scott states that there is still an open permit. David Fisher states that once a temporary co is issued, it becomes difficult to take that back. Heather Biel needed clarification as to what if the as -built survey showed that the drainage, building, etc. accomplished as per the original approved & permitted documents and performed as originally designed. David Fisher states that we are requiring our Engineering Department to go out and look at that and verify that the drainage is the way it's supposed to be. It's not what a building inspector looks at. 10 Lori Grotz commented that if a major change occurs, different than what was submitted, then didn't Mr. Sullivan build the foundation differently from what was submitted. They submitted an as- built, but the as -built was not what was built. David Fisher explains that, per the building code, it was a very minor change. They put cylinders down. Lori Grotz says that she is referring to the shape of the foundation and David Fisher comments that he is referring to that, too. One part became narrower and much longer. Fisher states that instead of putting a full foundation underneath a landing for an entry in the back, they put cylinders down instead. They used a different style of foundation, so they didn't use a poured wall foundation for that. It would be supported the same way and is considered a minor change. Mike Eckhart w/ Arcos Architects, working with Mike Sullivan, stated that they went before the Planning Commission in regard to setbacks with the egress wells to verify all the setbacks and regarding height, because height is always an issue when over 15 ft. So, we reviewed that with the city and we actually modified our original submittal, based on comments from the city, and then it was approved. He states that they try to work with the city and realize that they need to meet city requirements, in order to get a permit. Scott Busyn suggests that we go around the Board, they can ask questions or make comments, and then we try to act on a motion. Kip Peterson asked re: window wells if there's a building code or city ordinance on determining how to measure final grade. If understanding correctly, because they did a lookout instead of an egress then final grade at outside of the well is 4 ft lower than if they had done an actual egress window. David Fisher states that it is, in fact, an egress window. It is in the same height and location, but they changed the material. Instead of poured wall window well, now it is a slate wall and that is the only difference. There still could be a ladder out of this, if it is too high or over 44 inches, just like if it was a poured wall. It didn't change, as far as the topography from what can be seen from the contours on the survey. If the windows were lookout originally, that did not change. Scott Busyn further comments that when we measure the height of the sidewall of a house, we measure from average proposed grade, and is at the foundation., because you want to drop that grade away from the house, in order to achieve as much pitch as you can, and looking at Mr. Grotz slides, there was foundation insulation up (yellow material) where the grade was going to go up to meet that. It has always been at the foundation wall where they measure proposed grade. David Fisher comments that for an average, they skip over the window well, they don't count the base of the window well, because that could change and be different anywhere. So, an average grade, from point A to point B and it' angled, you take the average in the middle and 11 you don't take the base of the window well to get that average, according to Cary Teague. You just go straight across. Kip Peterson states that, based on the materials, his understanding is that Mr. Grotz is disputing that the plan didn't change, because he thinks that the plan originally showed that they were going to be poured walls and level all the way around and now Mr. Grotz is alleging that they are a step down. He feels that if we are measuring grade at the house, and measured over the top of the highest point of the window well at the house, he doesn't think that the material changes anything . Doug Hall asks, from our engineering perspective, has the topography not changed? David Fisher answers that that is his understanding. Scott Busyn makes final comments on the three issues that were appealed today. Window well — side yard setback is a planning decision and reviewed when the permit was issued. Issue on egress well reducing that average, but have always seen calculated at the foundation wall. Egress wells don't reduce it. On drainage, the plan that Mr. Sullivan has needs to be executed, it is still in process. Busyn stated that he visited the job site and did see some blankets covering up stonework, but the issues on how it is being constructed and best practices, Mr. Sullivan will need to deal with the homeowner, if there are problems. Busyn also clarified with Mr. Sullivan that the catch basin was eliminated, since there is the potential for failure. Mr. Sullivan stated that it was two thirds clogged with sediment and the city doesn't maintain it and it was removed. Busyn also states that thru his own experience, he believes the retaining wall back further creates a better situation. Mr. Sullivan states that from the southeast corner of the lot, everything is swaled to go around to the north side and he is pitching that yard to the north and a large eave coming down on the south side, so most of the water goes east and west. More grass, more percolation, pitching yard to the north, water goes east & west. Gravel & sand will allow for more percolation. And, in Edina, push more water towards the street, even though the Watershed District might disagree, but if a sand base, it is just going to go below. Sump pump change in direction on the north side is a huge improvement (recommend a battery backup, if runs a lot). Grade on the south side, with water hitting that, will need to establish Swale between his property and the Grotz property, and it would go toward the street. Little eyebrow will be guttered (below the top gable). It appears that much effort has been done to mitigate the issue. Lori Grotz questioned Mr. Sullivan about the 300 sq. ft. of stone to be re -used for patio in the backyard on the south side and will that be graded to drain to the north. He states that they will have to see, but reassured that they are not going to dump water on the Grotz's property. Again, Scott reassured that Mr. Sullivan is making every effort for drainage and agrees with Building Official David Fisher, on his reports and recommendations. The takeaway should be that nobody here wants to leave Jim & Lori Grotz with a problem and this has added more urgency on Mr. Sullivan's part. 12 Kip Peterson asked on the grading and drainage plan if the retaining wall is reflected on that plan. David Fisher commented that Mr. Sullivan would have to give us a revised plan, since drainage plan was approved w/o the retaining wall on it. Kip Peterson motioned to dismiss the I" appeal. He is sympathetic to the overall height, but doesn't' think it is a building code issue. As Mr. Fisher has indicated, it is a planning issue, in terms of how they calculated the setback. Doug Hall seconded that motion. Scott motioned to deny item II, but expectations are that the drainage plan be met, as part of final inspection process. Also, dismiss Item III, but need good legal information and can be elevated within the council, regarding procedural changes with the city and how plans can be viewed. Kip Peterson states that the copyright issue needs to be explored. Doug Hall states that the drainage issue resonates, the copyright issue should not be discussed here, and stone construction is more an aesthetic thing. Neighborly outreach needs to take place. Work with staff for amicable outcome. Mr. Sullivan was heard loud and clear. Scott Busyn summarizes the Board's decisions on the (3) items before them. 1) Dismiss Item I, due to meeting city requirements, it does not fall within the Board's jurisdiction, it is a planning issue. 2) Deny item II, since a storm water management plan exists. However we advise the builder to meet the specifications of that plan. 3) Dismiss Item III, because it does not fall within the scope of the Construction Board of Appeals. However, we recommend that the applicant bring up the issue with legal council. Roger Knutson states that we are adopting the findings of fact, with the two additions - 1) the builder meet the specifications of the storm water management plan, 2) applicant ask Roger Knutson to review the IPad finding. 2nd the motion — Doug Hall All Board members voted aye; motion carried. David Fisher further explained at the close of the meeting that there are handouts and guidelines put out there to make it easier for builders to understand. We all need to understand, though, that these are policies and guidelines, but not the law. The Dept. of Labor & Industry website also has some interesting information available for things to be aware of, such as examples of what has happened in the past in other communities, in order to better understand what you are doing within the Construction Board of Appeals. Scott Busyn states that he appreciates all of the Board member's participation. Edina has seen some growth pains and communication goes along way. It is important to be good neighbors. Mr. Grotz thanks the Board for hearing his appeal and getting these new concerns on record. X. Adjournment 13 Attachment A CITY OF EDINA s1 CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF APPEALS CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF APPEALS IN RE: Appeal of James Grotz FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION On March 6, 2015, the Edina Construction Board of Appeals ( "Board ") met at a Special Meeting to consider the appeal of James Grotz. The appeal was conducted pursuant to the Minnesota State Building Code Rule 1300.0230 and City Code Section 2 -362. The Board's jurisdiction is limited to hearing and deciding appeals of orders, decisions and determinations made by the building official relative to the application and interpretation of the Building Code. Mr. Grotz was present at the Special Meeting, The Board, after considering all pertinent information, makes the following Findings of Fact and Decision: FINDINGS OF FACT Mr. Grotz has appealed three decisions of the City's Building Official, David Fisher, concerning the construction of a single family dwelling on Hennepin County Property ID 19- 028 -24 -11 -0012: Appeal One: Mr. Grotz asserts that two window wells were never built as shown on the approved plans and that "city staff must calculate the revised interior side yard setback." 180>5i vi 1 //// e CITY OF EDINA AE % CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF APPEALS Appeal Two: Mr. Grotz asserts that "backfill with clean rock behind wall..." is in direct violation of R403.3.3. Appeal Three: Mr. Grotz asserts he has a right to obtain a copy of the copyrighted building plans. DECISION 1. Appeal One is dismissed. This is not a building code issue and is not within the Board's jurisdiction. The required setback was properly calculated by the Planning Department. Revised plans were submitted by the builder for the construction of the window wells. The location of the window wells are in the same location as the original plans for which the building permit was approved. 2. Appeal Two is denied. The window wells are in compliance with the Building Code. The 2007 Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) R403.3.3 Drainage: "Final grade shall be sloped in accordance with Section R401.3 In other than Group I Soils, as detailed in Table R405.1, gravel or crushed stone beneath horizontal insulation below ground shall drain to daylight or into an approved sewer system." Based on the code the drainage for the window wells are in compliance. The windows wells will have crushed gravel and drain tile that is tied into the foundation drain tile. The foundation drain the goes to a pump basket that gets pumped to daylight. This is in an approved method. City staff is required to review and approve the drainage per the approved before the certificate of occupancy is issued. 2 lsossfV1 CITY OF EDINA CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF APPEALS 3. Appeal Three is dismissed. This is not a Building Code issue and is not within the Board's jurisdiction. The plans Mr. Grotz requested are copyrighted. The Minnesota Department of Administration in Advisory Opinion 08 -009 has opined that the City cannot make copies of copyrighted plans without the permission of the copyright holder. The copyright holder has not granted Mr. Grotz permission to copy the plans. Dated: March 6, 2015. CITY OF EDINA CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF APPEALS BY, _ -- co± Bu n, Chair ATTEST: 9,: Secretary David Fisher, Chief Building Official 3 180551.-1 MINUTES Regular Meeting of the Edina Heritage Preservation Board Edina City Hall — Community Room Tuesday, February 10, 2015 7:00 p.m. I. CALL TO ORDER 7:00 P.M. 11. ROLL CALL Answering roll call was Chair Weber and Members, Moore, McLellan, O'Brien and Student Member Otness. Absent were Members Sussman, Christiaansen, Mellom and Student Member Druckman. Staff present was Senior Planner, Joyce Repya. Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel was also in attendance III. APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA Member Moore moved to approve the meeting agenda. Member McLellan seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. IV. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES January 13, 2015 Member Moore moved approval of the minutes from the January 13th meeting. Member McLellan seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. V. COMMUNITY COMMENT - None V1. REPORTS & RECOMMENDATIONS A. Certificates of Appropriateness 1. H -15 -2 4504 Sunnyside Road - A New Front Entry Portico Planner Repya explained that the subject home located on the east side of the 4500 block of Sunnyside Road is a Colonial Revival style constructed in 1938. The Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) request is for the addition of a new 88 square foot projecting front entry portico with a flat roof supported by square columns. A COA is required because the portico is a structural change to the street facing facade of the home. The new portico is designed to provide protection from the elements at the front entry; and is proportional to the front facade of the home - particularly the existing Fond du Lac stone cladding at the front entry which dictates the width of the portico. Ms. Repya added that a variance for the proposed portico will be required because the zoning ordinance allows a maximum intrusion in the front yard setback for a front entry of 80 square feet in area. The proposed 88 square foot portico exceeds the maximum by approximately 8 square feet in area. Edina Heritage Preservation Board Minutes February 10, 2015 Consultant Vogel reviewed the plans and observed that the subject home represents a good example of mid -20`h century modern architecture and is typical of colonial style homes built in the district during the latter part of its period of significance (1924 - 1944)— unlike the older Colonial Revival style houses in the Country Club, this house shows the influence of modern architecture and the federal government's design standards for new home construction (enforced by the FHA after 1934). Mr. Vogel also noted that both the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the Country Club District Plan of Treatment allow for fa4ade alterations that may be needed to provide for "an efficient contemporary use" of a historic house, provided the new work does not destroy significant historic character defining features. Virtually all of the historic homes in the district have been modified to some extent and the primary goal of heritage preservation is not to prevent change, but to manage change the standards do not require that every element of a historic building must be preserved intact. Mr. Vogel recommended approval of the COA finding that the proposed new front portico meets the following standards for rehabilitation: • No significant character defining details will be destroyed; • There will be no substantial loss of historic fabric; • The new porch will be compatible with the scale and proportions of the historic fa4ade; • The details of the new porch /portico are characteristic of the Colonial Revival aesthetic; and • The new work is reversible (if it was to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the house would be unimpaired). Staff agreed with Mr. Vogel's recommendation for approval of the plans for the front entry portico subject to the plans presented and receiving a variance from the Zoning Ordinance requirements for the front street setback. Applicant Representative: Karen Kelly, Homeowner Board Member Questions/ Comments: Member O'Brien stated that he did not have an issue with the appropriateness of the proposed portico from the standpoint of meeting the Country Club District's plan of treatment, however he did question whether the HPB should take a stand supporting a variance request - commenting that he did not believe the board is equipped to evaluate the standards required for a variance; that is the responsibility of the Planning Commission. Planner Repya explained that the Planning Commission has asked that if a project in the Country Club District requires both a COA and a variance, the COA should be considered first, and if approved, then move to the variance application phase. While there have been very few COA's requiring a variance too, typically the HPB has expressed support for the variance when approving the COA. Edina Heritage Preservation Board Minutes February 10, 2015 Member Weber observed that the 80 square feet allowed for the front entry protrusion is actually not excessive for providing shelter - noting that typically a functional porch providing living space would require more depth than what the plan proposes. Public Comment: None Motion: Member O'Brien moved approval of the Certification of Appropriateness application subject to the plans presented. Member Moore seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. 2. H -15 -3 4505 Arden Avenue - Changes to the COA plans approved 3-11-2014 Planner Repya explained that as construction of the home at 4505 Arden Avenue is now underway, the homeowners have determined that they would like to make several minor changes to the north and south facades of the home. North Elevation: I . The homeowners are proposing to add a wood burning fireplace /chimney to the family room located at the rear of the home. The chimney is shown to extend 2 feet beyond the north building wall of the home, and will be clad in the same natural stucco and Miratec trim as the rest of the home. 2. The request also includes adding a small 4 -pane window in a closet on the second story; this window will mirror a window located beside it to the west. South Elevation: 3. The last change request involves adding a dormer window on the south elevation of the home above the master suite to add natural daylight to a small storage /play area. Planner Repya pointed out that while there are no changes proposed for the front elevation, the proposed chimney indicated on the north elevation will be somewhat visible from the street facade. The rendering provided is one dimensional which makes the chimney appear to be part of the front fa4ade, when actually it is proposed to be setback over 40 feet from the front wall of the home, and will not have a major impact on the street facing fa4ade of the home. Ms. Repya concluded that she and Consultant Vogel compared the COA approved plans from March 11, 2014 with the proposed changes to the plans and determined that the changes are minor and will have minimal impact on the historic integrity of the house. Furthermore, no significant historic character defining architectural details of the home will be destroyed or altered, thus approval of the changes to the COA was recommended subject to the revised plans. Ms. Repya concluded that findings supporting the recommendation include: Edina Heritage Preservation Board Minutes February 10, 2015 The proposed changes to the plans are minor and will have minimal impact on the historic integrity of the house; and No significant historic character defining architectural details of the home will be destroyed or altered as a result of the proposed changes. Applicant Representative: Scott Busyn, Great Neighborhood Homes Mr. Busyn stated that Planner Repya did a good job of walking the board through the proposed changes to the plans. He added that the homeowners want to add natural light to the two storage /closet areas where the additional windows are proposed; and the husband has his heart set on a wood burning fireplace in the rear family room instead of the gas unit that was part of the original plan. Board Member Questions /Comments: Member McLellan asked if the chimney on the front facade served a wood burning fireplace. Mr. Busyn explained that the fireplace at the front of the home will be a gas insert unit. Public Comment: None Motion: Member Moore moved approval of the Certification of Appropriateness application for three revisions to the previously approved plans subject to the plans presented on 2/10120 1 S. Member Weber seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. 3. H -15 -4 4601 Casco Avenue - Changes to the COA plans approved 9 -9 -2014 Planner Repya explained that on September 9, 2014 the original plans approved for the COA at 4601 Casco Avenue included converting an attached garage to living space and adding a detached garage to the east side of their property. As the homeowners were firming up the details, they determined that the following changes would not only make their home more livable, but also enhance the architectural integrity of the project: #1 - Second Story of Rear Fagade - Replace two double hung windows with French doors Changing the two double hung windows to French doors with a decorative railing on the second story of the rear fa4ade is proposed to be consistent with the historic architectural style of the home. #2 - Attached Garage Conversion to Living Space - Changes to a street facing fagade To accommodate the increased size of the detached garage, the conversion of the attached garage to living space must be reduced by two feet to ensure that the building coverage does not exceed the maximum allowed for the property. The two foot reduction to the north wall of the home Edina Heritage Preservation Board Minutes February 10, 2015 compromises the window pattern approved with the original COA application; thus a revised window plan is proposed on both the first and second stories on the north elevation. #3 - Detached Garage - Increase size /reduce height The original approved plans included a 440 square foot 2 -car detached garage measures 20' x 22' feet in area. The height of the garage was to be 17' at the highest peak. A hip roof was designed with a 9/12 pitch. The homeowners have determined that the 440 square feet approved is too small to accommodate the needs of their family, thus they are requesting to increase the size of the garage to 462 square feet (22' x 21'); decrease the height from 17 feet to 147 '/z "; and decrease the peak of the hip roof from 12/12 to 5/12. All of the building materials and finishes are proposed to remain the same. Planner Repya explained that she and Consultant Vogel compared the COA approved plans from September 10, 2014 with the proposed changes and agreed that the revisions to the plan will not have an adverse effect on the historic integrity of the property. Furthermore, the project will continue to meet the applicable preservation standards and the district's Plan of Treatment guidelines, thus approval of the changes to the COA approved plans was recommended subject to the plans presented. Ms. Repya added that findings supporting the recommendation include: • The proposed changes will not have an adverse effect on the historic integrity of the property. • The project will continue to meet the applicable preservation standards and the district's Plan of Treatment guidelines. Applicant Representative: Michele Eigner, Homeowner Board Member Questions /Comments: None Public Comment: None Motion: Member Moore moved approval of the Certification of Appropriateness application for changes to the plans previously approved on 9/14/2014, subject to the plans presented on 2/10/201 S. Member O'Brien seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. VII. OTHER BUSINESS A. Heritage Landmark Nomination Process The board received copies of the Heritage Preservation section of the Zoning Ordinance to review the process for adding the Edina Heritage Landmark overlay zoning designation to a 5 Edina Heritage Preservation Board Minutes February 10, 2015 property. Consultant Vogel explained the requirements laid out in the code along with the time line for the required meetings. Mr. Vogel explained that the Nomination Study and Plan of Treatment for Marri Oskam's home at 6901 Dakota Trail will be completed shortly, and shared with Ms. Oskam to ensure that the plan of treatment addresses the preservation needs she has identified for her property. Once Ms. Oskam has approved the Plan of Treatment, the nomination process will begin with the HPB voting to nominate the property an Edina Heritage Landmark property. The proposed nomination will be sent to the State Historic Preservation Office to allow for their input (they have 60 days to comment). At the same time, the proposed nomination will be presented to the Planning Commissions for their input, and then on to the City Council when they will hold a public hearing relative to the proposed designation. Mr. Vogel pointed out that landmark designations usually take from three to four months to complete due to the respective meetings and comment periods required. The board agreed that having one or more of the public meetings in May (Preservation Month) would be a great way to cast attention to the city's heritage preservation program. Mr. Vogel pointed out that in addition to the proposed landmark designation of 6901 Dakota Trail; Member Moore's home at 6909 Hillcrest Lane is on the schedule for landmark designation this spring as well. B. 2015 Heritage Award Nominations - Deadline April 8, 2015 Planner Repya provided the board with a copy of the press release that will be issued inviting the public to submit nominations for the 2015 Edina Heritage Award. The nominations will be accepted until April 8`h; and the board will decide upon the 2015 recipient at the April 14th HPB meeting. In observance of preservation month, the City Council will present the Heritage Award plaque to the winner at either the May 5th or 19`h Council meeting. The board discussed that even though the city has advertised the Heritage Award nomination process in the past, rarely has a nomination from the outside been submitted. Typically, the only nominations submitted have been those from HPB members. Member Moore explained that last year he submitted the nomination for the winning Arthur Erickson house at 5501 Londonderry Drive. He pointed out that he began the process early by sending an introductory letter to the property owners asking them if they would be agreeable to being nominated for the award. Mr. Moore offered to share the template for the letter along with a nomination form that he created in a PowerPoint deck to facilitate adding photographs. The board agreed that would be a great idea. 0 Edina Heritage Preservation Board Minutes February 10, 2015 C. 2015 Public Outreach & Tour - Planning - Continued to the March 10`h Meeting VIII. CORRESPONDENCE & PETITIONS -None IX. CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS Chair Weber reported that he had completed the blog article for the city's web site clarifying the Country Club District's plan of treatment regulations regarding the criteria new construction, but found that because there was so much to explain, the article was too long for one posting. He then provided copies of the article which he broke down into a 4 -part series. The title of the series is "Is Demolition Allowed in the Country Club District ? ", and the 4 blog postings are entitled: I. The Greater Good of Alteration 2. Historic Preservation Best Practices 3. The Historic Significance of the Country Club District 4. The Extent of Demolition Allowed in the Country Club District He concluded that each part is no longer than one page and includes one main message, which is typically the format required for a blog posting. The idea would be to post each part of the series at a regular interval from one a month, to one per week. Member O'Brien asked if he could review the articles and provide his input prior to the posting. Member Weber welcomed the input from Mr. O'Brien and agreed to share a Word document of the blog piece with him. The board discussed the timing of the posts, agreeing that that a weekly posting of each part would be timely. They also thanked Mr. Weber for his work on clarifying the plan of treatment regulations relative to new construction in the district. No formal action was taken. Member Moore reported that the Edina Historical Society is planning a summer house tour of three homes designed by John Howe, an architect who was once a draftsman for Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Moore pointed out that two of the homes are located in the southwest quadrant of Edina and the third home was once John Howe's own home in Burnsville. More information will be available later this spring. X. STAFF COMMENTS Planner Repya provided the board with an update she received from Jane Lonnquist, the Chairman of the 2015 Architectural Tour of the Country Club District scheduled for Saturday, May 9, 2015 from 10 -1 1 a.m., (rain or shine). Ms. Repya added that the neighborhood committee is also interested in providing signage at the seven main entrances to the 7 Edina Heritage Preservation Board Minutes February 10, 2015 neighborhood advertising that it is a National Register district. They will be applying for a COA at the March HPB meeting to gain approval, and if approved, will then apply for a variance from the city's sign ordinance which only allows one area identification sign per neighborhood.

Gary Gosewisgh. 4141 West 44th Street, Edina, MN Planner Presentation Planner Aaker reported the applicant is requesting a 1.2 foot front yard and a 9.4 foot rear yard setback variance to add a small front entry porch and additions to a home that is located on the south side of West 44th Street. The owner is requesting variances to allow a small open front entry porch addition slightly beyond the front wall of the house and home additions to be at the same nonconforming rear yard setback as existing. The project is a remodel with addition to an existing nonconforming single family home. Improvements to the main portion of the home will match the existing rear yard setback. The front yard setback will have a small front entry porch encroachment that is an exception to the front yard setback as long as it is no closer than 20 feet to the front lot line. The existing home is slightly less than 19 feet from the front lot line. Planner Aaker explained the subject property is located on the south side of West 44th Street consisting of a one story home with an attached two car garage built in 1956. The lot is 7,891 square feet in area. The owner is proposing additions and improvements to be setback from the front lot line slightly closer than allowed for a front porch encroachment and additions that will match the existing nonconforming rear yard setback. Continuing, Aaker said the property is part of an old street car right of way and was subdivided for residential development after the street car line was no longer in use. The configuration of lots along the south side of West 44th Street that were part of the street car subdivision are very substandard in depth at a little over 65 feet. The minimum lot depth required for a residential lot in Edina is 120 feet. The allowed footprint for a conforming home on the subject lot given required setbacks is approximately 21 feet deep, with the existing home still quite shallow at a little over 29 feet deep into the lot. Planner Aaker concluded that staff recommends approval of the requested variance based on the following findings: The proposal meets the required standards for a variance, because: a) The practical difficult is caused by shallow lot depth. b) The encroachment into the setbacks continues an existing nonconforming setback that was established when the original home was built in 1956. c) The request is reasonable given the location of the existing home. Approval of the variance is also subject to the following condition: I . The home must be constructed as per proposed with a revised survey to be submitted at permit application to confirm compliance with lot coverage requirements. 2. Compliance with the conditions and comments listed in the Environmental Engineer's memo dated February 18, 2015 including city inspection of the sump pump discharge line. Appearing for the Applicant Gary Gosewisgh, property owner. Applicant Presentation Mr. Gosewisgh addressed the Commission and explained that his intent is to upgrade the house, gain more living space and bring it into the 21 st century. He said the house will continue to be on the smaller side. Discussion Commissioner Lee asked if a demolition permit and construction management plan was required for this renovation. Planner Aaker said one wasn't required. Aaker explained that a demolition permit is required when 50 percent or more of the exterior wall area is removed, adding in speaking with the applicant she was informed that wouldn't be happening. Aaker further explained that the construction maintenance plan is part of the building permit process; not variance. Aaker did acknowledge that in renovations such as the one proposed there is the potential when construction begins to find that more demolition is required than previously thought triggering a demolition permit and construction management plan process. A discussion ensued with Commissioners in agreement during the demolition and renovation process if more than 50 percent of the exterior wall area is removed a demolition permit and construction maintenance plan would be required. Commissioners further stated they could support the request as submitted noting the shallowness of the lot and the location of the house. Motion Commissioner Carr moved variance approval based on staff findings and subject to staff conditions including staff review of the building permit application to ensure compliance with the 50 percent rule; and if compliance can't be met a demolition permit and construction maintenance plan is entered into. Commissioner Scherer seconded the motion. Ayes; Hobbs, Scherer, Schroeder, Olsen, Carr, Forrest, Platteter. Nays. Lee. C. Variance. Ion Beleniuc. 4214 Scott Terrace, Edina, MN. Planner Presentation Planner Aaker informed the Commission Ion Beleniuc has submitted a variance application on behalf of the property owners to increase the first floor elevation 1.33 feet higher than the current first floor elevation in order to construct a new home at 4214 Scott Terrace on the existing foundation. This property is located on the west side of Scott Terrace within the Morningside neighborhood with a portion of the property located in the floodplain. Aaker explained that the zoning ordinance allows for a maximum I foot increase in height of an existing I st floor. The applicant is asking for a .33 foot, (4 inch), variance to increase I st floor height by 1.33 feet to allow an 8 foot ceiling height in the basement. The building permit plan set submitted to the City for review conformed to the zoning ordinance requirements, however, upon review by the Engineering Department it was discovered that the back yard has floodplain requiring an increase in the existing basement elevation. Initially the plan was to leave the existing walkout basement floor, however, after review it was determined that the applicant is required to increase the basement floor to be 2 feet above the flood elevation. The redesign has included changing floor trusses to mitigate the additional increase in new first floor height; however, in order to achieve 8 foot basement ceilings, a minimal 4 inch variance is requested. Continuing Aaker stated a variance is required to allow the first floor elevation of the new home to exceed the first floor elevation of the existing home by more than one foot. The current home located at 4214 Scott Terrace has a first floor elevation at 879.1 feet above sea level. This neighborhood in Edina has property located in a floodplain area, and the currently established floodplain elevation is 869.2. The existing basement floor elevation is at 870.6. The City of Edina Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan requires the lowest floor to be a minimum of 2 feet above the Flood Elevation. The Engineering Department considers the entire basement of the existing home to be in the floodplain because it is lower than an elevation 2 feet above the flood elevation and now must be elevated because the project is deemed new construction. The home has been removed down to the "floor -cap" or foundation. A demolition permit for the house preceded the building permit application with all but the foundation torn down. The project is considered new construction since more than 50% of the exterior walls were removed so it now must conform to floodplain rules and all zoning ordinance requirements, (or receive a variance). Since the project is not a remodel and is considered new construction, it allows an opportunity for the city to correct an existing nonconforming and undesirable basement elevation condition. Planner Aaker concluded that staff recommends approval of the variance, as requested subject to the findings and subject to the following conditions: The site must be developed and maintained in conformance with the following plans: Survey date stamped February 10, 2015. Building plans and elevations date stamped February 10, 2015. 2. Compliance with the conditions and comments listed in the Environmental Engineer's memo dated February 18, 2015. Appearing for the Applicant Ion Belenuic, builder. Discussion Commissioner Carr asked Planner Aaker to clarify the extent of the variance. Planner Aaker explained the house is in compliance with code except for the 4 -inch rise (recommended by engineering staff) to bring the house into compliance with flood plain ordinances. Aaker reiterated the project meets all setback requirements, building height and lot coverage; however, it is .33 -feet or 4 inches above the allowed I -foot rule per ordinance. Commissioner Lee commented that in her opinion 4- inches is a small variance, adding she believes that redesign could eliminate the need for a variance. Lee suggested reducing ceiling height as an option to eliminate the variance. A discussion ensued on ceiling height; what's required and what's found in the field. Mr. Beleniuc explained that although the variance is minor the 4 inches are needed to accommodate headroom for the staircase into the basement level. 4 A discussion ensued on the merits of the proposal including ceiling height. Questions were raised on if the figures represented in the plans were correct, and if the variance was approved to ensure that all figures are the same. It was further pointed out that engineering supports the request subject to Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requirements. Public Comment Chair Platteter asked if anyone would like to speak to the issue; being none, Commissioner Olsen moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Scherer seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. Discussion Commissioner Scherer stated she supports the project as presented. Commissioner Forrest said she agrees adding this is the time to "fix" the flood plain issue. Forrest also commented in this day and age an 8 -foot ceiling height is not unreasonable or excessive; adding the Commission has viewed and approved projects with higher ceilings. Motion Commissioner Olsen moved variance approval based on staff findings and subject to staff conditions. Commissioner Scherer seconded the motion. Commissioner Forrest offered an amendment to the motion stipulating that all figures match. Commissioner Schroeder commented that an easy way to ensure compliance is to stipulate that the first floor building elevation be met as established by staff. Commissioners Olsen and Scherer accepted those amendments. Ayes; Scherer, Schroeder, Olsen, Carr, Forrest Platteter. Nays; Lee and Hobbs. Motion carried. C. Subdivision. Frank Berman. 5321 & 5331 Evanswood Lane and 5320 & 5324 Blake Road, Edina, MN Planner Presentation Planner Teague reported that Frank Berman is proposing to combine and subdivide his properties at 5321 & 5331 Evanswood Lane, and 5320 and 5324 Blake Road seven lots. The existing home at 5331 Evanswood Lane would remain, and the home at 5324 Blake Road would be removed. The other two parcels are vacant. The applicant proposes to construct a 24 -foot wide cul -de -sac off Blake Road within a 40 -foot right -of- way. Two lots would access of Evanswood Lane, and the remaining five off the new road. The applicant has attempted to minimize tree loss and address drainage issues in the area by locating the roadway along the north lot line, and the stormwater retension areas along the street. Planner Teague noted that to accommodate the request preliminary plan approval isis required. Continuing, Teague explained that all seven of the proposed lots meet the City's minimum lot size requirements. Minimum lot size, width and depth is determined by the median of all lots within 500 feet of the subject property. Based on the surveyors calculation of the medians, the minimum lot size is 21,842 s.f. in size; 166.4 feet in depth; and 120.8 feet in width. Concluding, Teague stated that the city engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and does have some concern given the existing drainage issues in this neighborhood. The stormwater system downstream is over capacity. The applicant will be required to meet all minimum Minnehaha Creek Watershed district standards, as they are the regulatory authority in Edina in regard to grading and drainage. There shall be no increase in peak rate or volume to neighboring private properties. Teague further stated that at the time of this report, the issues raised by engineering have not been met. If the applicant has not addressed by the time of the meeting, staff would recommend continuing action on this request to the next Planning Commission meeting. Ross Bintner, from the engineering department will be at the Planning Commission meeting to discuss any revised plan that is submitted, and the issues regarding the proposal. Teague also stated since interested residents may be present to address the proposed subdivision that the public hearing be opened this evening to allow testimony and left open so that testimony could continue to the tabled meeting date per engineering recommendation. Appearing for the Applicant Kendra Lyndahl Discussion Commissioners acknowledged the recommendation from the engineering department to table the request until drainage issues are resolved; however offered the following: Commissioner Carr asked Planner Teague if the recently approved Tree Preservation Ordinance would apply to this subdivision. Planner Teague responded that he believes so, adding the Tree Preservation Ordinance goes into effect on July 1, 2015. Teague further noted that the applicant is very mindful of the trees on the site. Commissioner Scherer stated that while she understands the significance of Edina promoting "Living Streets" in this instance drainage concerns have been identified and in her opinion a sidewalk just adds more hard surface; reiterating engineering has requested that this request be tabled until all parties reach an agreement. Chair Platteter said he agrees with that comment, adding he's a huge proponent of sidewalks, however, when drainage issues are identified additional hard surface could exacerbate the issue. Applicant Comments Ms. Lyndahl told the Commission the property owner generally supports the conditions of approval. Continuing Ms. Lyndahl said that their first priority was tree preservation and second; creating a project 0 that complies with city ordinances. Concluding, Lyndahl stated they would work with engineering on resolving the drainage issues prior to the next meeting. Commissioner Carr pointed out that the sidewalk was considered in the engineers review, adding if engineering finds that drainage can be managed (with sidewalk) she would be in favor of the sidewalk. Concluding, Carr stated she encourages sidewalks for Edina. A brief discussion ensued on the proposed location of the sidewalk with Commissioners suggesting that the sidewalk may work better on the north side; not south as proposed. Commissioners asked Mr. Bintner if he believes the drainage issues can be resolved. Mr. Bintner responded he believes so; however, at this time the issues are still unresolved. Commissioner Forrest asked when the subdivision project goes before the Watershed District. Mr. Bintner responded the Watershed District hears the request between preliminary and final review. Commissioner Hobbs suggested if the project moves forward with a sidewalk that the sidewalk could be constructed with pervious materials, reducing drainage impact. Public Comment Chair Platteter opened the public hearing. The following spoke expressing reservations on the 7 -lot subdivision proposal: Rebecca Wallin, 6208 Parkwood Road. Charles Gits, 5311 Evanswood Lane. Olaf Minge, 5225 Evanswood Lane. Amy Minge, 5225 Evanswood lane Chris Johnson, 5308 West Highwood Drive. Chair Platteter commented that since the recommendation is to table the subdivision request until the next meeting of the Planning Commission the public hearing will remain open. McMinn Commissioner Carr moved to table the request for preliminary plat for Frank Berman 5321 & 5331 Evanswood Lane and 5320 & 5324 Blake Road to the March 11, 2015 Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Scherer seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. VII. A. Planning in the Greater Southdale Area Commissioner Schroeder delivered a power point presentation explaining and highlighting aspects of the process to launch a study on the Greater Southdale Area. He explained that this "study" will coincide with studies currently being done in the area on traffic and sewer capacity; adding the timing on this study is important. Concluding Schroeder asked Commissioners to consider if they would like to serve on the committee. Schroeder reiterated he envisions the Southdale process to be similar to the process implemented earlier for Grandview. He said the process will be intense and quick. A discussion ensued with Commissioners agreeing a study is needed on the greater Southdale area sooner than later. Chair Platteter asked Commissioners as previously mentioned by Commissioner Schroeder to consider volunteering for this process. He further suggested that Commissioners reach out to Planner Teague if they are interested in serving on the committee. VIII. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS Chair Platteter acknowledged back of packet materials. IX. CHAIR AND COMMISSION COMMENTS Chair Platter noted that at the next meeting of the Commission the three new Planning Commissioners would be present. Commissioner Forrest commented that the Wooddale Valley View Small Area Plan process continues noting that comments are still being taken from the public before the plan is finalized. Forrest thanked everyone for their input during this process. X. STAFF COMMENTS Planner Teague demonstrated for Commissioners how City staff measures building height. XI. ADJOURNMENT Chair Platteter formally thanked Commissioners Scherer and Schroeder for their years of service on the Planning Commission Indicating it has been an honor to serve on the Planning Commission and that over the years she has learned so much Commissioner Scherer moved meeting adjournment at 10:00 P.M. Commissioner Schroeder seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. {8 MINUTES OF CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION COUNCIL CHAMBERS JANUARY 15, 2015 6:00 P.M.

Motion carried. COMMUNITY COMMENT - None. REPORTS /RECOMMENDATIONS Vision Zero Presentation by Jay Walljasper Mr. Walljasper, writer and consultant, presented Vision Zero which is a concept focused on making streets safer to reduce edestrian fatalities. He said annually, more than 4,500 pedestrians are killed in the US. He said Sweden and the Netherlands �rve as good examples of reducing pedestrian fatalities —the Economist Magazine reported that Sweden reduced fatalities by 75% vs. 20% in the US. He said cities in the US like New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Oregon are following their examples and are implementing Vision Zero. Examples of Vision Zero implementation include elementary school street curriculum to teach students about driving, walking, and biking safely; fixing dangerous intersections; enforcing traffic laws, narrowing streets and widening sidewalks, etc. Mr. Walljasper said the emphasis is safety over speed in road design and simply reducing the speed limit is not enough. Discussion Member lyer asked if there were cities similar to Edina that are implementing Vision Zero and if he could recommend a couple things that could be done. Mr. Walljasper said all the cities in Sweden have and he recommended road diet, reducing road width, reducing length of crosswalk, making them more visible, and adding median island as some things that could be done. Member Boettge asked what could be done to change attitudes, beside enforcement. Mr. Walljasper said instead of advocating for engineering changes, make other changes such as planting trees, public art — adding interesting things to look at. Member Janovy asked what do you do when you're proposing improvements but there haven't been any pedestrian fatalities. Mr. Walljasper said they should not wait for a fatality to make improvements. He said if there are few pedestrians it's probably because the area is unsafe so he would try to measure near - misses and also survey people to see if they would walk more if they felt safe. He said 65% of people said they would bike if they felt safe and this probably is the same for pedestrians. hair Bass thanked Mr. Walljasper for his presentation. 2014 Bicycle & Pedestrian Count Results Ir. Joe Totten, traffic safety coordinator, presented the 2014 Bicycle & Pedestrian Count Results. Mr. Totten explained that - icycle and pedestrian counts are done for transportation planning purposes, health reasons, and the ability to evaluate improvements. He said video counting allows staff to capture long times over multiple days unlike volunteer counters. Counts include bikes, pedestrians, assisted pedestrians (i.e. wheelchair, stroller, skate board, etc.) in 15 minute intervals and are typically taken near major pedestrian generator or where useful. Future counts are generally done at the same locations for year to year comparison and new ones are added as needed. Member La Force asked how the number of users translates into making policies and Mr. Totten said it is a matter of someone choosing to drive to the park which creates wear and tear on the road vs. walking. Planner Nolan added that the data will show trends overtime and this can be used to make improvement decisions. Member La Force asked if weather is taken into account and Mr. Totten said rain days and other inclement weather days are eliminated. Member Janovy asked when the City began using video counts and Mr. Totten said in 2014. Planner Nolan said the volunteer counters were through Transit for Livable Communities. He said the City purchased two video counting cameras and borrowed a third one from City of Richfield. Member Nelson said it would be good to have data from different locations and planner Nolan said the locations counted were chosen because they had three years of previous data and they included a couple new locations because of future planned improvements, i.e., Nine Mile Creek Trail and the Southwest LRT. Mr. Totten added that some of the locations are also required by MNDOT. Planner Nolan said they can add new locations but they are limited by the number of cameras and staff resources. Member lyer asked if staff is considering any of the new equipment that was talked about in the video that was shown. Mr. -otten said the new equipment is ideal for trails like the future Nine Mile Creek Trail. Planner Nolan said Hennepin County is onsidering installing a permanent counter in the bike lane on Vernon Avenue (bikers outside of the lane would not be counted). Member lyer asked if any changes have been made based on the data. Mr. Totten said yes but they may not have been ideal, i.e. bike lanes on Interlachen Blvd. Chair Bass said counting between 4 -6 p.m., especially at the middle and high schools, may not capture school traffic and suggested counting between 2 -4 p.m. Member La Force asked if they've counted in Bredesen Park, Promenade, etc. and planner Nolan said they've talked about it but haven't yet. Roadway Reconstruction Survey Content and Methodoloky Members La Force and lyer created the following five data collection points: 1. The ongoing collection /analysis of data related to global needs within the city. It's how we determine what we think residents want. For example, how do they feel about sidewalks, bike lanes, center turn lanes, speed limits? 2. Data collected prior to a specific project to inform the design process. What do residents who are most affected by the proposed project want to see? 3. Data collected during the design and implementation for the purpose of making necessary adjustments. How is the project working? What are the troubles that need to be addressed? 4. Data collected immediately following a project to determine how well the project was implemented. How well did contractors and city staff do their jobs? 5. Data collected at various points in the future to measure the impact a project had on stated goals. To what degree did this project accomplish what it was supposed to have accomplished? - iscussion ensued which included the following feedback: 2 • Revising the questionnaire before the next round of projects is critical; certain expectations are set up and not met; be purposeful; have reason for the data; allow for more informed discussions instead of information getting out pieces at a time, i.e., road width, right -of -way, etc.; this allows for a better feasibility report; Council does not see final design; are residents getting what they want? • Agreed with providing data beforehand but data is only one element; decisions aren't made based on surveys alone; make clear what all the pieces are that drive decision - making, e.g. policies, cost constraints, standards, etc. • Provide specification on streets, sidewalks, Municipal State Aid, etc.; this information is universal across the city — make it accessible. • Providing lots of information is good but could it lead to information overload? Create a business process flow chart that explains why they do surveys and post on website; still do not understand the City's business process decision - making. • #1 is outside of the ETC's scope. • Is there a way to use the post project survey to inform the future? • Low participation rate; how do you focus in on data? • What can they do to get better participation? • Order of priority would be for the City to do #2, #4 and #5; #3 should probably not be included because it could be costly. • #1 seems to be broad and more for citywide; #5 is specific to neighborhood projects. • Current survey assumes one per household. • What is the next step? Timeline for getting out questionnaire for 2016 projects is probably May. • Consensus to focus on #2; members La Force, lyer and Janovy volunteered to meet with staff for further discussion. Traffic Safety Committee Report of January 7, 2015 A.1 In the recommendation, change 'resolution' to 'petition.' .4. "Blocked by disabled vehicle" means broken down vehicles. Is this an enforcement issue since vehicles are to park a certain distance from intersection? What is the policy for posting handicap zone? There isn't a written policy; it is handled on a case -by -case basis in one of two ways — handicap parking only or no parking /loading zone. B.1. Will the traffic light at Cahill be retimed? Yes, staff is coordinating with City of Bloomington for an extra 16 seconds and will observe result. B.2. Change 'land' to'lane.' C.1. With someone directing traffic the gap study is affected; uncomfortable area to cross so looking at it in a traditional way may not help with analysis; hope there will be an opportunity to look at traffic if school referendum passes so should they wait until then? Staff discussed waiting and acknowledged that the flashing beacon will not work with a crossing guard; school buses and other traffic frequently exit out the marked inbound only entrance. C.2. Agree that the current crosswalk does not meet City policy. D. At what point does the City decide to contact Hennepin County about retiming of traffic signal lights? Usually on a case - by -case basis. Motion was made by member Janovy and seconded by member Spanhake to forward the edited Jan. 7, 2015, report to the City Council. All voted aye. Motion carried. Updates Student Members — None. Bike Edina Working Group lember Janovy said they discussed their focus for 2015 and three main areas of interest are bike parking; evaluation of existing on -road facilities, and increasing their presence at community events. Living Streets Working Group Manner Nolan said two public meetings are planned to share the draft Living Streets Plan with residents and gather .eedback. Scheduled meetings are Wed., Feb. 4, 7 p.m. at Public Works and Park Maintenance Facility, 7450 Metro Blvd; and Sat., Feb. 7, 10 a.m. at the Senior Center, 5280 Grandview Sq. Presenters at the meetings will be working group members and Living Streets Champions. Feedback from the meetings will be shared with the ETC at the next regular scheduled meeting. Walk Edina Workine Grouo Member Boettge said at their first meeting they talked about experiences and concerns and plan to talk about expectations at the next meeting. She recommended two new members. Motion was made by member Boettge and seconded by member lyer to approve members Coby LaVenture and Andrea Bender to the Walk Edina Working Group. All voted aye. Motion carried. Communications Committee Member La Force asked about the multi -modal education plan and planner Nolan said it did not make the January agenda because of the limited preparation time due to the holidays and number of items on the agenda. He said it will be on the February agenda. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS Planner Nolan distributed a newspaper article from Mayor Hovland titled "Varied Routes to Safer Streets." CHAIR AND COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS Member Whited said thank you and goodbye as she ended her term with this meeting. The commission thanked her for her ervice. Member lyer asked if there were data on damages to roads by large trucks versus cars and if all streets are constructed to the same specification. Planner Nolan said he was not aware of any data but this does not mean it does not exist. Regarding street construction specification, he said pavement depths are different based on street classification. Chair Bass noted that the article, Varied Routes to Safer Streets, from Mayor Hovland speaks directly to the Vision Zero presentation. Member Nelson said he is still concerned with the newly installed crosswalks on France Avenue that drivers still do not know where to stop and suggested public education. Planner Nolan said staff is still talking with Hennepin County about this and the ETC can include this in their campaign next month. Member Nelson said further that since the lanes have been realigned, drivers are following the expansion joints when they cannot see the lane markers and they do not always match up. Member La Force said the Byerly's retaining wall at the corner of France Avenue and Hazelton Road forces drivers to pull into the crosswalk to see around it. He asked about the advisory communication that the ETC sent to Council last month and planner Nolan said staff is putting together a cost estimate for Council in February. Member Boettge said she liked what Mr. Walljasper said, "saferstreets are a gift to Edina!" Member Janovy asked if the final report for the experimental bike lanes was submitted and planner Nolan said he received it late last week. She said a couple months ago an advisory was given to Council on bike parking but it was never discussed. She asked if there was a process to get advisories on Council's agenda for discussion. Planner Nolan said the current process is to put advisories under correspondences on the agenda but he will check to see if it could be handled differently. Member 'anovy said she would like to see a clearer process because there are times when advisories are recommending a specific :tion, i.e. the bike parking advisory was for code modification. Member lyer suggested that Council spend a few minutes on commissions' advisories. 4 Student member Rummel said she enjoyed Mr. Walljasper's presentation. She said safer streets promote walking and elaxed mode of transportation which gets more people out and create a sense of community. STAFF COMMENTS A grant application was submitted for the Cornelia Drive Sidewalk along with a resolution of support from Council and a letter of support from the school district. A response is expected by March. Staff plans to begin the design process in March. On Feb. 3, staff will submit a report to Council to modify the bicycle lane ordinance and add Olinger Blvd as a designated bike lane. City Council will hold a work session with the ETC and Bike Edina on Jun. 16, 5 p.m. Each group will be allotted one hour each. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned. Chair Bass called the meeting back to order because a resident wanted to address the ETC. Related to the Traffic Safety Report above, item A.1., Ms. Lesa Brostuen, 5517 Malibu Drive, requested a recommendation from the ETC to City Council to assign new street names and signs for the cul -de -sacs off of Malibu Drive. She said staff is recommending that Council approve a sign showing house numbers but she said it takes the mind longer to process house numbers than street name. Also, she said the topography is such that drivers cannot tell that it is a cul -de -sac and they drive in expecting the road to go thru. She said the area has three streets that intersect, and they are all named Malibu Drive. Ms. Brostuen was advised to attend the Council meeting when the Traffic Safety Report is on the agenda and address the Council directly. leeting adjourned.

Situation: The EEC was invited by Mr. Neuendorf, the City Economic Development manager, to take an active role in the Grandview development process. Several EEC members attended the Dec. 4, 2014 Exploration Session hosted by the City and Frauenshuh. Background In Chapter 10 of the 2008 Comprehensive plan the City of Edina committed itself to a "leadership role" in achieving aggressive reductions in Green House Gas emissions. Unfortunately, historically there had been little if any consideration of the environmental impacts of the City's facility and fleet decisions. Those capital decisions determine the City's environmental footprint and impact for years and decades to come. Assessment: Any development in the Grandview project will have an environmental footprint that will last for decades. Any City facility in this development will impact the City's ability to meet its Chapter 10 environmental commitments in its own facilities. At this time, it does not appear that the "Seven Guiding Principles" for the Grandview development take this into account or fulfill the "leadership role" of the City. If Council wishes, the EEC can play an observer or advisory role in the Grandview development process in 2015. Recommendation Page 2 \ ienN The EEC recommends that Council add an 8th Guiding Principle to the Grandview development planning process. This new principle should incorporate the Chapter 10 commitments from the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. This should be an explicit decision parameter in all options presented to Council and be explicitly taken into account in the final decisions by Council. The EEC offers the following principles /actions as examples of environmental actions for the Grandview site. This list is a starting point as many other actions are possible and should be analyzed and considered. • Strive for minimal disposal of construction waste • Achieve Greenhouse Gas Emission reductions of 80% from 2005 Edina public building levels by maximizing use of renewable energy technologies (solar, solar thermal, distributed energy, etc) • Achieve carbon neutral impact via offsets and renewable energy credits for all emissions • Construct all buildings to meet SB 2030 energy standards • Capture and reuse all storm water from the site; no off -site discharge • Include educational spaces for residents to learn and practice sustainable environmental practices • Provide for composting and recycling in all areas of the development with a goal of zero on- going waste G: \PW \CENTRAL SVCS \ENVIRONMENT DIV \Energy and Environment Commission \Projects \2015 \City Council Advisory - Grandview Feb 2014.docx MINUTES OF THE EDINA HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HELD AT CITY HALL FEBRUARY 17, 201 S 10:06 P.M.

From: Brian E. Olson, Director of Public Works Oqlv Action ❑ Bill Neuendorf, Economic Development Manager Discussion ❑ Date: 3/17/2015 Information ❑ Subject: Consider Bids For Stair Elevator Tower At 50th & France Business District Action Requested: Reject all bids from the Stair Elevator and consider alternative project. Information / Background: On August 20, 2013 City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility Study for the 50th & France Parking and way finding Improvement Project, Edina Improvement No. P -23. This report was completed and prepared and presented on January 21, 2014 by Kimley -Horn and Associates. Project P -23 was approved on March 4, 2014 by City Council, and up to $2.375 million in funding was authorized by the HRA. To date the City HRA has spent just over $1,550,000 to date on the first phases of the project. Bids were opened on February 10 for the Stair Elevator on the north side of the South Ramp. Details of the Bid Package analysis can be found in the table below. Contractor Morcon Construction $1,429,073.00 Sheehy Construction $1,627,000.00 American Liberty Construction $1,726,700.00 Knutson Construction $1,814,000.00 Black and Dew $1,860,000.00 The feasibility study construction cost estimate was approximately $850,000 and therefore the bid came in 168% higher than the feasibility study costs. In retrospect there were several contributing factors to the bids City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 REPORT/ RECOMMENDATION Page 2 0 coming in higher than originally anticipated. They range from concrete shortage, high premium for labor, unanticipated challenges regarding the elevator location, challenges regarding changes in building code, and ultimately the bidding climate. At this time Staff is recommending rejection of all bids and pursuing an alternate design that would accommodate patrons with mobility limits. Attached to the report is a conceptual study to identify alternative design feasibility. Kimley> »Horn March 11, 2015 Mr. Bill Neuendorf Economic Development Manager City of Edina 4801 W. 501h Street Edina, MN 55424 Re: 5011 and France — South Ramp — Convenience Study Dear Mr. Neuendorf, As requested, Kimley -Horn has completed a limited pedestrian convenience study at the South Parking Ramp. The purpose of the study was to identify possible options and determine the geometric feasibility of said options to improve pedestrian accessibility to the second (2nd) level of the South Ramp near the existing stair core located at the northeast corner of the South Ramp. Bill Neuendorf (City of Edina), Tim Barnes (City of Edina), Jerry Pertzsch (Kimley- Horn), Ben Henderson (Kimley -Horn) and Dan Green (MDA) met on site on February 26, 2015 to review possible options to improve the pedestrian access to the area noted above. Several possible options were identified. The identified options, as well as our geometric assessment of the feasibility of each option, are summarized below: A switchback ramp from level 2 of the South Ramp to level 1, located north of the South Ramp and south of the Lund Food Holdings, Inc. (LFHI) building also known as the 3925 Building. a. Pros Appears to be geometrically feasible if we assume a 1' -0" depth of the ramp structure. Egress from the LFHI building must be maintained, which is the driver for the location of the ramp. b. Cons i. Structural feasibility is unknown. The presence of the tunnel below may make the structural support a challenge. Will likely not be able to cantilever off of the ramp, which introduces column supports as the main gravity load carrying members. ii. Column supports may affect egress from LFHI building. iii. Due to the required location of the ramp in order to maintain egress from the LFHI building, the touchdown point of the ramp will likely cut off two of the north -south movements from the South Ramp to 50th Street. The movement to the north from the South Ramp would now only be able to occur through the existing vestibule next to the stair core. iv. There may be aesthetic concerns to address with adjacent property owners. v. Code issues regarding enclosure of the ramp are unknown — proximity to two (2) adjacent buildings and crossing property lines may raise code issues that kimley- horn.com Kimley» )Horn Page z need to be resolved with the Building Official. Code required geometry for the ramp slope, landings and minimum dimensions was used to test feasibility. 2. A ramp from level 2 of the South Ramp to level 2 of the LFHI building, utilizing new and existing internal corridors of the LFHI building to gain access to the elevator in the LFHI building, which provides access to level 1. a. Pros i. Appears to be geometrically feasible. ii. Appears to be structurally feasible. iii. Very little aesthetic impacts to both the LFHI building and the South Ramp. b. Cons Will require close coordination with LFHI and would require that space in their building be allocated to the proposed new corridor. A detailed review of the internal space, mechanical, electrical and other systems and impacts thereon has not been completed at this time. Will interrupt the LFHI building envelope and will require a fire door at the LFHI building. This would require review with LFHI and the Building Official. 3. A straight ramp from level 2, located directly adjacent to the existing stair core in the northeast corner of the South Ramp, sloping down to level 1 as it heads north in the alleyway between the LFHI building and the theater building. a. Pros i. Appears to be geometrically feasible. ii. Appears to be structurally feasible. b. Cons i. There may be aesthetic concerns to address with adjacent property owners. ii. Will require removal of the LFHI stairs on the east side of the walkway for the LFHI building, as the required headroom under the ramp, above the stairs, cannot be maintained. Egress width from Theater exits to public way must be maintained, which is the driver for the east -west location of the ramp in the alleyway. 4. A straight ramp from level 2, located west of the existing stair core, utilizing the roof of the existing canopy to the east of the LFHI building, then penetrating the side of the LFHI building to gain access to internal corridors of the LFHI building and the elevator in the LFHI building, which provides access to level 1. a. The structurally, architectural, aesthetic, and code feasibility concerns with this option indicate to Kimley -Horn that this option should not be considered a preferred option. No additional assessment of this option was completed. Attached to this memorandum you will find an exhibit that provides additional clarification and detail as to the required geometric layout for options 1, 2, and 3. Kimley »)Horn Page 3 Based on our geometric feasibility assessment of the identified convenience options, and the other feasibility considerations noted, it appears that option 1 may be the preferred option; however, Kimley -Horn would recommend that a comprehensive feasibility study, which would require additional review with the City, the Building Official, the adjacent property owners be completed in order to assess all other feasibility concerns with each option. Kimley -Horn has completed an Opinion of Probable Costs for options 1 and 2, as requested by the City. Included in the cost estimates is the replacement of the steel stairs at the northeast corner of the South Ramp. The probable costs that would be borne by the City are summarized as follows, and due to the unknowns, are shown as a cost range: Option 1: Construction Costs: $400,000 - $460,000 Construction Contingency: $35,000 - $40,000 Design and Construction Professional Fees / Material Testing: $140,000 Total Cost Range: Option 2: $575,000 - $640,000 Construction Costs: $474,000 - $673,000 Construction Contingency: $41,000 - $57,000 Design and Construction Professional Fees / Material Testing: $100,000 LFHI Agreement Cost (Assumed): $50,000 Total Cost Range: $665,000 - $880,000 Please call me at 651- 643 -0411 or email me at Jerry.

The handout that was used is attached. All materials displayed at the public meeting are posted online at www.edinamn.gov /grandvigw. These concepts were influenced by the 2012 Grandview Development Framework as well as hundreds of community ideas that were collected during the recent "exploration phase ". Using their professional development and planning expertise, the design team prepared these preliminary scenarios to illustrate how a combination of public and private uses could be arranged on the property. Each scenario shows different combinations, massing, and scale of public and private functions. The preliminary site planning scenarios each include: • community /civic space, • outdoor civic plaza, • parking garage, • new east -west street, • multifamily housing, • professional office /flex space, and • retail /restaurant space Please note that each of these scenarios are preliminary in nature. Full details have not yet been determined. They are being shared in their early stages so that the community has an additional opportunity to shape the projects considered for this City -owned land. These scenarios will be refined in the next few weeks and presented for additional public input in April. A work session to discuss the final scenarios is scheduled for May 19th.
