RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION ON CURBSIDE
REFUSE COLLECTION APPROVED Coordinator Wilmot said the Recycling and Solid Waste
Commission received a request from a resident and from a Council Member to study the possibility of
allowing yard waste to be placed at the curb in a waste cart. At their April 20, 2005, meeting, the
Commission discussed City Code 705 relating to yard waste collection and refuse. The Comiission
noted that presently the Code stated yard waste must be stored in a plastic bag and placed next to the
street or curb no more than 12 hours prior to scheduled pickup. Ms. Wilmot said the Commission
observed if the City were to allow yard waste to be stored in a waste cart and placed at the curb on
the designated day, it would be reasonable to allow a refuse waste cart to be handled the same. Ms.
Wilmot reminded the Council the current City Code dictates that refuse containers must be stored out
of view from the front street, or in a garage, and not placed near the street or curb in any
circumstance.
Ms. Wilmot noted that a study of neighborhood placement of refuse containers was undertaken
during May, July and September. The results were that more than 50% of residents place their refuse
containers at the curb on collection day even though ' the current code states the containers must
remain at the garage. She said benefits for curbside waste cart collection would be, 1) less idling by
collection trucks, 2) trucks would move through the neighborhood faster, 3) receptacle placement
confusion would be alleviated, 4) potential for increased recycling participation, and 5) recycling
commodity profit sharing increase due to increased participation.
Ms. Wilmot said that accommodations would be made for residents who are unable to place their
refuse cart at the curb.
The Recycling and Solid Waste Commission recommended allowing curbside placement of yard
waste and refuse cart containers on collection day.
Following a Council discussion, Member Housh made a motion directing staff to prepare an
ordinance amendment allowing residents to take their refuse cart to the curb on collection day
similarly to the way recyclables are handled. Yard waste shall be stored within. plastic bags and
brought to the curb no more than 12 hours before pickup. Member Hulbert seconded the motion.
Ayes: Housh, Hulbert, Masica, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.

CONCERNS OF RESIDENT
Page 7
Minutes/Edina City Council/November 1, 2005
Steve Spellman, 4608 Cascade Lane, presented two handouts to the Council and said he was
representing the neighborhood involved in the construction of the sound wall on the west side of
Highway 100. Mr. Spellman said that the neighbors had believed the wall would be built twenty feet
high and that they were mislead when they see the current design. He requested that the design be
modified to a twenty foot height.
Paul Johnson, 4617 Cascade Lane stated he felt there was value added but he also was not satisfied
with the design and wanted it extended to the south.
Bob Fiedler, 4604 Cascade Lane, said he was surprised the east side wall was being built at twenty
feet while the west side was being built at twelve. He requested the height of the western wall be
increased and also expressed concern over the landscaping
Bill Haymaker, 4605 Cascade Lane said he felt the wall was very expensive.
Ken Hanson, 4601 Cascade Lane said he was thankful for the wall, but expressed concern that with
the eastern wall being built at twenty feet in height, the west side residents would be experiencing
bounce.
Marshall Rosner, 4613 Cascade Lane expressed concern about the amount of noise abatement that
would be received for the cost of the wall.
Engineer Houle outlined the process followed for this project. He acknowledged that the first graphic
depicted the proposed wall at twenty feet, but stated that all correspondence and notices contained
the correct information. He added the City was building the wall under a cooperative agreement
with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and had already paid for the wall.
Wayne Norris Minnesota Department of Transportation District Area introduced the project engineer
Peter Wasco. Mr. Wasco explained the engineering and environmental reasons for the wall's design
and explained that the construction was too far along to change the design. Following a brief
discussion, the Council consensus was that no action was necessary.
Bill Haymaker, 5038 Bruce Place, said he wanted to address the Council on the changes that have
been made to the setback of his property on Bruce. Mr. Haymaker displayed a graphic that showed
where his setback to the Minnehaha Creek was in 1992 and where it was currently. He said he felt he
had been left with a significantly smaller lot due to the changes. Mr. Hughes noted that .there have
been FEMA and Statutory changes made that would have impacted Mr. Haymaker's property along
with many other residents residing along the Creek.
NOVEMBER 15, 2005, MEETING NOTED FOR COUNCIL MEETING WITH LEGISLATIVE
DELEGATION The Council suggested that Manager Hughes re- schedule the meeting with the
Legislative Delegation for a later date allowing the Council, the Planning Commission and the Traffic
Commission to meet on that date.
There being no further business on the Council Agenda, Mayor Hovland declared the meeting
adjourned at 9:55 P.M.

Recommendation:
Grant First. Reading of Ordinance No. 2005 -14 An Ordinance Adjusting Salaries for_ Council
Members.
o.
Info /Background:
During the 2005 Budget process, the Council asked that consideration be given to adjusting the
salaries for the Mayor and Council Members. At present, the Mayor's salary is $7,050 and
Council Member's salaries are $5,100. It has been many years since these salaries were
adjusted.
Attached for your consideration is the most recent annual survey conducted by the Association
of Metropolitan Municipalities regarding .mayor and council salaries. I've also included a
summary of salaries for Municipal Legislative Commission cities. The .MLC comprises cities
that are similar to Edina. Based upon my review of the surveys, I suggest that the Mayor's
salary be increased to $10,000 and a Council Member's salary be increased to $7,500.
Attached is ordinance >No. 2005 -14 which establishes the new salaries. Under State law, these
salaries cannot take effect until after the next general election. Therefore, the effective date of
the ordinance is January 1, 2007.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION SUMMARY
ON -SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR OR ON -SALE WINE LICENSE
Establishment:. Salut Bar Americain
License: On -Sale Intoxicating & On Sale "Special Sunday Sales"
On September 23, 2005, Odean France Inc., dba Salut Bar American, made application to the
City of Edina for an On -Sale Intoxicating & On Sale "Special Sunday Sales" license.
Odean France Inc. is incorporated in the State of Minnesota. The Minnesota Secretary of State
reports they are in good standing.
Officers of Comoration/Association:
Philip Arleigh Roberts President
Peter Jon Mihojov Secretary
Members owning 10% or egr ater:
Philip Arleigh Roberts Edina, MN
Peter Jon Mihajov Tonka Bay, MN
Kevin Bernstein Kuester Minneapolis, MN

Minnesota Secretary of State
Personal, business and bank references were contacted and responded positively.
From the information gathered during the course of the investigation, I found nothing to prevent °

I would support a positive recommendation from the Police Department in regard to the issuance
of this license. o

TRAFFIC SAFETY STAFF REVIEW
Tuesday, November 1, 2005
The staff review of traffic safety matters occurred on November 1, 2005. Staff present included
the City Engineer, Traffic Engineer, Traffic Safety Coordinator, City Planner, Sign Coordinator
and Police Traffic Supervisor.
From that review, the recommendations below are provided. On each of the items, persons
involved have been contacted and the staff recommendation has been discussed with them.
They have also been informed that if they disagree with the recommendation or have additional
facts to present, they can be included on the November 15, 2005 Council Agenda.
SECTION A:
Requests on which staff recommends approval:
None for the November 1, 2005 Meeting.
SECTION B:
Requests that staff recommends denial of request:
1. Request to install a STOP sign on West 64h Street for eastbound traffic at
Parnell Avenue.
The requestor is a resident on Parnell Avenue. She is concerned with volume
and speeds of traffic and the safety of pedestrians along West 60 Street. She is
especially concerned about the speed of eastbound vehicles coming down the
hill between Ryan and Parnell Avenues.
West 60 Street and Parnell Avenue are both 30 -foot wide residential streets with
curb and gutter but no sidewalks. This is an uncontrolled intersection.
A traffic survey was performed on West 64 h Street at this location in October of
2005. The Monday through Friday average daily traffic volume was 129 vehicles
per day and the 8e- percentile speed was 29.5 mph. The requestor has stated
that traffic volume increases on West 64th Street during the summer when the
Aquatic Center is open and when there are events at Rosland Park and the Art
Center. There have been no reported accidents at this intersection in the past
five years. Intersection sightlines were determined to be acceptable.
A STOP sign located on West 64th Street at Parnell Avenue for eastbound traffic
is not warranted.

M4.
2. Request for a mid -block crosswalk on Eden Avenue at Sherwood Road adjacent
to the Library/Senior Center.
This request was previously continued at the October le Council meeting for
further evaluation by staff.
The requestor is a resident on Interlachen Boulevard and is concerned with the
safety of pedestrians who cross Eden Avenue at this location. Eden Avenue is a
38 -foot wide collector street with curb and gutter and a sidewalk on the south
side from Sherwood Road to the east. A sidewalk exists on the north side of
Eden Avenue from Sherwood Road to Vernon Avenue for a short length of 185 -ft.
It is apparent that the sidewalk was not continued along the south side of Eden
Avenue between Sherwood Road and Vernon Avenue due to the lack of
available width and the lack of a necessary City easement between the roadway
and the adjacent commercial building to the south at this location.
A traffic study conducted in May 2005 Shows a Monday -Friday average daily
traffic count of 6,713 with an 85th- percentile speed of 32.1 mph. There have been
no reported pedestrian accidents at this location within the past five years.
The City has established and adopted a crosswalk policy based on standards
and guidelines in accordance with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices. Its intention is to maintain uniform crosswalk applications
throughout the City. In accordance with the policy , warrants for a mid -block
crosswalk at this location are not met.
Although the sidewalk system along Eden Avenue appears to connect across
Eden Avenue at Sherwood Road, crossing at this location should be avoided due
to safety issues. These safety issues include concerns with the "busy -ness" of
this immediate area for motorists, the horizontal radius in the roadway at this
location, extra roadway width to accommodate turn lanes making it a longer
crossing distance for pedestrians, the approaching intersection and traffic signal
at Vernon Avenue, and the numerous driveways along this segment. The safer
pedestrian crossing location for Eden Avenue is at the immediate intersection of
Vernon Avenue that is fully controlled by a traffic signal and is only 185 -ft away
from the intersection at Sherwood Road.
It is understood that pedestrians desire to use this route and cross Eden Avenue
at Sherwood Road due to several destinations on either side of Eden Avenue
and lack of current alternate routes. However, it is staffs recommendation that
other routes be further studied and improvements made to provide better
sidewalk connectivity to accommodate these desired pedestrian routes in lieu of
providing a crosswalk at the location requested due to safety issues.
Staff recommends denial of the request for a mid -block Pedestrian
Crosswalk on Eden Avenue and Sherwood Road due to lack of warrants.
SECTION C:
Requests that are deferred to a later date or referred to others:
None for the November 1, 2005 meeting.

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution #2005 -102 authorizing the Edina Police Department to enter a grant agreement
with the State of Minnesota to assign a detective to the Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force.
INFO/BACKGROUND:
The Edina Police Department has been participating in the Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force
for the past three years. The Task Force is multi jurisdictional unit that focuses on large -scale
financial crimes on a statewide basis. We have one detective assigned on a full -time basis. The
Edina Police Department has seen a rapid rise in identity theft and organized groups involved in
fraud activity. The statewide focus is a preferable method to address this growing problem. The
grant agreement specifies a reimbursement of $163,923.00 for salary, benefits and vehicle over a
nine -month period ending June 30, 2007. The Task Force had been funded through a grant from the
U.S. Attorney's office that expired in July. The Minnesota State Legislature authorized state
funding for the Task Force this year resulting in this new grant agreement.

II. HURRICANE RELIEF BAND CONCERT REQUEST — BLAIR RANSOM
Blair Ransom, 5217 Abercrombie Drive, indicated that he is a student at Edina High
School and is a member of a band. He noted that two other band members are also with
him tonight. He explained that their plan is to put on a benefit concert at the Centennial
Lakes Centrum Building in light of the recent events in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
He stated that the reason they are here is to request that the rental fee be waived because
the rental fee would be a significant dent in their donations. It was noted that the dates
they are hoping to have the concert would be either September 23`d or September 20.
Mr. Ransom stressed that 100% of the profits would be donated to the Red Cross. Mr.
O'Connell stated that he would like to commend and thank Mr. Ransom and his band
members for their message, it's very good.
M
Mr. Keprios asked Mr. Ransom how they plan to collect the money and are they going to
sell tickets or pass the hat. Mr. Ransom stated that they feel the most effective way to
collect money would be to ask for donations where they will have a table set up to collect
the donations. He explained that having a cover charge is a major turn-off for a lot of
kids and feels it would deter a lot of kids from coming. Mr. Keprios stated that the city
would need some assurance that the monies do in fact find their way to the Red Cross and
asked Mr. Ransom to follow up in writing the amount of donations that are collected.
Mr. Ransom noted that they will have a group of people collecting the donations and
writing down names and amounts to which he will present it to Mr. Keprios once the
concert is over.
Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that he has discussed this with the Centennial
Lakes Manager Tom Shirley to which he totally supports this and thinks it's a great idea.
He stated that there will be no out -of- pocket expenses for the city because basically what
they are asking for is to waive the rental fee.
Linda Presthus MOVED TO WAIVE THE FEE FOR SEPTEMBER 23RD OR 24TH FOR
THE HURRICAN RELIEF BAND CONCERT. Karla Sitek SECONDED THE
MOTION.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
III. YOUTH SPORTS PRESENTATION — PAUL BEARMON
Mr. Klus informed the Park Board that Paul Bearmon, an Edina resident, would like to
give a presentation and talk briefly about some of his beliefs when it comes to youth
sports and what he is doing to promote these youth athletics.
Paul Bearmon, 4526 Arden Avenue, gave a prepared speech presentation (see attached
prepared speech).
Dr. Bearmon stated that the reason he is here tonight is because he really doesn't know
where else to go. He noted that if you go back 30 or 40 years it was Park and Recreation
that manned the youth programs. However, in many of the suburban areas associations
were given that control and at some level it did make sense because it was a way of
saving money and maybe a way of hopefully, giving the community a little more input,
but now the problem has become one of supervision. There's nobody watching these
programs. For example, let's say basketball is going to not give a team 12 hours but
instead six. No one is going to object because if a parent objects their kid is going to
become blacklisted. Dr. Bearmon noted that what he is asking the Park Board to do is
take a look at this issue and the way it's evolving.
Mr. Fronek indicated that he coaches football and thinks football is good in the sense that
the coaches come up with four equal teams for all of the grade levels. There's no
traveling or elite team and asked Dr. Bearmon if he has looked at how the other
associations work. Dr. Bearmon replied that he doesn't have the knowledge of how all of
2
the other associations work in Edina. However, football does seem to be doing it
correctly or at least a lot better than everyone else and that's one of the reasons why kids
stay with football. Mr. Fronek pointed out that the high school football coach said it
himself the number one reason that kids quit sports is because they are either put in the
wrong position or they are put at the bottom of the line. Therefore, if they can do'
something as a Park Board then he thinks it should be their duty to do that. Dr. Bearmon
pointed out that the notion that somehow evolved among the people running these
associations is to start out with a'large broad group e.g. 200 kids and try. to end up with
20 with the hope that those 20 will eventually give Edina a good high school team. He
noted that what they should do is start with a large group of kids and keep those kids as
long as they can.' He noted that if the majority of kids are being told in 5`h, 6`h and 7`h
grade that you're just,not cuttiing it is atrocious. He stated that he is not talking about
high school kids because it's tough`enough telling a 14 or 15_ year -old that they don't
make a team. Dr. Bearmon indicated if you look at basketball for example, if you-look at
the discrepancy of hours given to one group versus the other you have to ask the question
why this is happening especially when these are public facilities.
GMs. Presthus indicated that she thinks Dr. Bearmmon brings up some very valid points,
however, there are several levels and layers of playing and she is not exactly sure what
Dr. Bearmon is asking for because she is hearing a mix of two 'things. The issues seem to
be having kids get cut from an elite team and the psychological effects versus the playing
time. She pointed out that by definition house leagues are typically less of a time
commitment and less playing time because that is what the people desire and people who
want a more intense and involved curriculum go to the traveling teams. Ms. Presthus
asked Dr. Bearmon if he is questioning the Park Board in the allocation of time and if he
feels that the associations don't give equal time to the traveling and house league because
she will argue there is a reason for that. Dr. Bearmon replied that perhaps he didn't quite
clarify what he is trying to say. He stated "that first there is no supervision so there isn't
anyone who has the understanding of kid's growth and development. Second, he agrees
n
that there are plenty of people who prefer not having the intensity that traveling programs
require. However, his point is if 200 kids try out for, a traveling team and only 20 make
it, of the 180 kids who were cut, he's sure there are a fair number of kids who would
prefer not to travel but he is concerned about. the kids who want to travel and are 'cut. He
stressed that again he is not talking about the 14 and 15 year -olds.
Dr. Bearmon gave an example by explaining that three years ago there was a traveling
baseball team for 10 year -olds which is absurd because what happened is a large number
of kids were discouraged' early on and felt they weren't as good as-their peers. He noted
that if you tell kids when they are 10 or l l 'years old they aren't good enough it will have
some pretty potent effects on them. Dr. Bearmon pointed out that since then the baseball
program has changed and is now a whole lot more inclusive. He explained that because
the associations have no supervision they can change overnight because they are always
getting a different group of people on the boards and there are no rules that they have to
adhere to because no one is overseeing what they are doing. Currently the groups are
whoever is on the board and they are not responsible to the Park Board and they are not
3
responsible to the public at large. Therefore, they can do whatever they want and that is
definitely a problem.
Mr. Klus thanked Dr. Bearmon for making the Park Board aware of what he is concerned
with in youth sports today. He noted that this could possibly be an agenda item in the
future to discuss. Dr. Bearmon asked that on the agenda he would like to ask the
question does the Park Board take the responsibility or do they ask someone else to.
IV. ACCESS TO GYM FACILITIES POLICY
Mr. Klus indicated that they are going to talk about the proposed gym facilities policy
which is very similar to the Park Board's Access to Field Facilities Policy. Mr. Klus read
the "Athletic Association's Relationship with The Park Board and the Park and
Recreation Staff'. (See attached). He noted this was put together many years ago and he
felt it would be good to review before they get into a discussion on just what the Park
Board's relationship is with the athletic associations.
Mr. Keprios stated that he thinks the philosophy in general is that the Park Board's views
from day one is that they support these independently incorporated athletic associations
in whatever way they can to make them successful in a manner that best serves the
community at large. He added that they do this at an arms length. Mr. Keprios stated
that he disagrees with what Dr. Bearmon said earlier about there being no supervision
because he thinks they have a great system that is run by very good people. He
commented that some people don't agree with the traveling system but that's the way the
world is today and that's the way youth sports are organized across the country. Mr.
Keprios noted that the "Athletic Association's Relationship with The Park Board and
Park and Recreation Staff' was written on November 8, 1977 by the Park Board. He
stated that in his staff report he tried to explain how he has viewed the relationship
between the city, staff and youth athletic associations in the past. Mr. Keprios indicated
that since the creation of the youth athletic associations both staff and the Park Board
have attempted to let these independent organizations make their own program decisions
without an overwriting veto vote of the city or staff. Mr. Keprios explained that staff has
long been actively involved in giving these associations professional advice that is in
keeping with the long standing philosophy of the city. When a youth athletic association
makes a decision that is grossly contrary to the cities defined guidelines and philosophy
then the city's leverage really is to deny access to facilities and deny any city
administrative and/or clerical services. He noted that as they see it that's the extent of the
city's power. Mr. Keprios explained several years ago a group of parents who did not
like the way the baseball association had organized their program, which was contrary to
the previous year, because instead of developing teams based by neighborhood they
developed it by ability and felt that was a better program for the kids. However, this
group of parents disagreed and they took the issue all the way from Park Board to the
City Council to which the City Council's final decision was they are not going to tell the
associations how to run their programs.
4
Mr. Keprios pointed out that when youth athletic associations rely on the Park Board and
City Council to solve their problems that could otherwise be resolved by volunteer board
members the associations stand to risk an outcome that they might not like. In addition,
they stand the risk of losing volunteers by taking away their authority to make their own
program decisions by dictating what they must do.
Mr. Fronek asked Mr. Keprios if he meets with the association presidents every year and
asked if they as a Park Board could provide some expertise and - reiterate some of the
guidelines to help the associations make some commitments to what is best for the
community. Mr. Keprios replied that as staff they try fo pull all�of the presidents together
twice a'year to discuss mutual issues. They all have many of the'same issues, and they do
a lot of problem solving as well as share a lot,of information to which a loi 'of great ideas
come out ofit. Mr. Keprids stated that he thinks it would be very "appropri ate. for'the Park
Board to invite the presidents to a Park Board meeting'to enter into a dialog and discuss
some of the things that Dr. Bearmon brought up today because those are good,issues.
At this time Mr. Klus opened the meeting to the public.
Annie Glavan, 7124 Glouchester Avenue, indicated that she was a girls house basketball
coach for two years and last year was a 4`h grade coach in the girls traveling association.
Ms. Glavan indicated her background includes: a collegiate all- American in volleyball as
well as played professional volleyball, runs basketball camps and volleyball camps
around the state of Minnesota and Wisconsin for the last ten years and helps out with the
University of Minnesota volleyball camps. She noted her point to this is she has been
coaching and doing this for quite a while.
Ms. Glavan explained to the Park Board what has been happening with the girls
basketball program over the last two to three months: She indicated that last year was the
first year that the Edina Girls Traveling Basketball Association (now known as EGBA)
wanted to start a 4`h grade traveling team to which her daughter played on that team and
she was the coach. She explained that it was a very relaxed scheduled to which they
practiced one night a week and played in two tournaments. The cost for each player was
$55.00 to $70.00 and everyone went home happy.
Ms. Glavan pointed out rthat this year her daughter is now:in 5' th grade and everything
changes. Her daughter now has two choices: she can play ini the Edina Girls Athletic
Association House Basketball League (EGAA) whicfi`costs $70.00 and theyplay,16
games with maybe one or two practices. She stated in her opinion that's not good
because there's really no development learning process'which is needed to develop
basketball players. Ms. Glavan rioted that the other option is to play traveling'in the
EGBA where the starting fee is $450.00 and an extra $100.00.if you don't have a uniform
to which they practice two nights a week and play in ten weekend tournaments.
However, for her family and for 20 other families that doesn't work because as a family
they can't commit to that schedule, time and dollar amount. Therefore, house is not
enough to develop basketball, it's more of a social setting and traveling is too much at the
4`h, 5`h and 6`h grade level. Ms. Glavan noted that she made a proposal to EGAA and
5
asked for more practice time and asked that they practice one night a week and play a
game the next because they need to develop skills otherwise kids are going to quit.
However, EGAA felt they couldn't provide that. She stated that she then went to EGBA
and proposed that they provide an intermediate level league within each grade level. The
kids could practice one night a week and play in two to three tournaments and the costs
would dramatically decrease to S 120.00 with volunteer coaches. However, they were
unable to do that. Therefore, she pulled 20 girls whom she has coached over the last two
years, whom have already paid, to play for the Edina Sting which is this third association.
She stressed that she is just a parent who wants her daughter to have an opportunity to
play basketball at a lesser reduced schedule, it's that plain and simple. She added that as
a matter of fact most of these girls wouldn't make a traveling team. However, as parents
and families they don't want to play house because they are not getting the instruction
they need to better themselves and traveling is too much of a commitment. Ms. Glavan
informed the Park Board that Karla Young, who was unable to be here tonight, is an 8`h
grade coach who has the same issues and that together they have formed an association
which has a board and by -laws and are recognized by the Minnesota Youth Athletic
Services, however, they are not recognized by the Park Board and therefore gym time and
equal access is what has brought her here tonight.
Ms. Glavan indicated that she has spoken to Mr. Keprios, Ms. Tilsner and Mr. MacHolda
as well as numerous other people about how they as a group of taxpaying families in
Edina get a basketball experience that is equal to the ones that are provided to EGAA and
EGBA. The City is not meeting the needs of all of the families. Therefore, she is asking
the Park Board for gym time. She stated that she knows there's a crunch this year and
they don't have gyms but all she is looking for is some available gym time at the same
rate as everyone else and doesn't see why they shouldn't be allowed to get that. She
stressed that she is not asking for prime times but is asking for a gym in Edina at the
same rate as the other associations, it's that plain and simple.
Ms. Glavan informed the Park Board that she has talked to Mr. Bjork and she is planning
on going back to EGBA next year and working out a plan where they can have different
levels, however, this year it doesn't work because of the gyms. She stated that she is
asking for this year only. Ms. Glavan commented there are four different places where
girls can play basketball; EGAA, EGBA, Edina Boys Basketball Association (EBA) and
the Sting. She noted this is crazy and suggested everyone come together and make one
association that would have divisions and make it a one stop shop for all parents and have
different levels and make everyone happy.
Patti Ellingson - Solheim, 4901 Lantana Lane, indicated that she is also part of the Sting
Association and has a daughter in the 8`h grade and is on Karla Young's team. She stated
that they have the same issues as Ms. Glavan's team in that they wanted to play less
tournaments and work harder on the fundamentals. She indicated that they had a
schedule just like other teams for gym time and they had a successful season and were
never in the same tournaments as the EGBA. She stated that they had already been
working on signing up for tournaments for this year when two weeks ago they were told
they are not going to get gym time. She indicated that they felt if they would have been
R
told about this sooner they would have had more time to work with because now with
sign -ups going on they are now under pressure that they are going to have to go through
the whole system of getting back into the traveling program.
Ms. Ellingson - Solheim pointed out that last year when it was a 7`h grade team they didn't
need a whole gym'every.time they practiced because a lot of times they only worked on
half -court drills. Therefore, maybe they could come up with a system of splitting up the
gyms for one night -a week. She noted that there are more ways to share the gyms so that
everybody can have'an opportunity to play basketball in Edina because right now they are
limiting kids. She commented that-'by having the Edina Sting it probably gave more kids
in the Edina system time to play basketball as well as they probably didn't. have to make
cuts in the EGBA Ms. Ellingson= Solheim stressed °that it's really important to have as
many kids in the program as they can because they need to encourage kids sand stay
connected with them�in as many ways as they can.
Dr. Bearmon asked why the Sting program shouldn't supersede the basketball program
that's currently established. In other words, what they're talking about is exactly the kind
of values and concerns that should be a concern to everybody in this community. It
would seem to him that the Park Board may' want to reconsider who's calling the shots on
how basketball is�being run. The girls in this program are being told they can't even have
access to the gyms. He stressed again that the associations are not elected and is not
responsive to anybody except themselves and therefore maybe they should be given
priority but that's a decision that the Park Board needs to make.
Mr. Fronek indicated that he is 'a little confused and asked if someone would clarify how
the whole relationship works. Ms. Glavan explained that EGAA is the house league for
girls in grades 2 through 9. The EGBA is the traveling program and up until this year
was for 5`h through 8`h graders. However, this year they are providing basketball fouls'
through 8`h graders. The Edina Sting has two girls basketball teams, -one is fora
combination 5`h /6`h grade girls and the other is for 8`h grade. Lastly there is the EBA
which allows girls to play during the winter and offers both house and traveling.
Gregg Bjork, 6605 Field Way, indicated that he is currently the President of EGBA and
has a 7`h grade daughter in the program. He noted that previous to that he was a'member
and president of EBA and therefore has been part of the Edina basketball community for
10 years. He stated that there are approximately 1,600 boys and girls within the City of
Edina who are provided services through EGAA, EGBA and EBA. He explained that
most of the kids in the EBA say they are looking for a one to two night a week
commitment, they are not looking for the traveling experience, therefore, with 1,000 kids
in EBA 880 of them are in'the house league and most of that is by choice. Mr. Bjork
indicated that he is somewhat confused because he met with some members of the Sting
last week and it was his understanding that most of those girls have re- registered into the
EGBA for 8`h grade this year. Therefore, he was a little taken aback in terms of the Sting
because he thought that was no longer an issue.. He noted that he didn't prepare any
comments tonight other than the policies that he thinks they are putting into place. He
noted that one policy-deals with access to the gyms and the other deals with the resources
7
that the city is going to put forth in order to support different associations. Mr. Bjork
pointed out that one concern he has as a member of the community is that if any group of
people can get together and demand services from the city just because they're Edina
residents and give them equal treatment to organizations who are putting on programs for
1,500 kids. He commented that over the course of the last 15 years between the school
and the city they are not only providing services for the kids but they've also made
significant contributions back to the community.
Mr. Bjork indicated that with 1,500 kids in the basketball program you are never going to
get 100% satisfaction. He noted that the EGBA and EBA always send out a satisfaction
survey and this year EGBA scored a 4.3 out of a 5 point scale on overall satisfaction and
he believes 84% of EBA participants were either satisfied or very satisfied with the
program. He stated that EGBA is responsible to the community and is an open board and
they welcome anyone who wants to be a part of the board and meetings are open and
anyone is allowed to attend. He commented that he honestly believes that there is plenty
of opportunity for anyone who wants to approach the board with good ideas and be a part
of it that there is opportunity for them to do that.
Mr. Bjork stated that Ms. Glavan is right in that they've talked about the need for a
winter time basketball experience for the girls who don't want traveling. He indicated
that he respects the fact that there are 20 girls that Ms. Glavan has put together but
candidly if you ask him he thinks that's the tip of the iceberg. He noted that as a
community based program and what he's explained in order for him to have this 5th grade
team he can't just do it for 20 girls, he has to open it up to the community as a whole.
Therefore, the 20 now turns into 60, 70, 80, etc., and then what about the 6th, 7`h and 8`h
graders. He stressed that it's not about finding a space for 20 girls, its finding space for
potentially 300 to 400 girls who want to have that same type of opportunity in the winter
time. Mr. Bjork commented that with the gym space at South View being out of
commission this year they have already been informed they can expect significant
interruptions of service at the high school because of the construction. It's going to be a
nightmare for scheduling gyms just to support the existing programs let alone expand it to
another 200 or 300 individuals.
Mr. Klus asked Mr. Bjork if he is concerned about the number of girls who would sign up
for this and how would they handle it, wouldn't that significantly reduce the number of
participants that are already in other programs or would new girls be coming in. Mr.
Bjork replied he's not sure how that would work out because they made it very clear that
this is a winter program and not a fall program. Their program does not start until the
EGAA basketball season is completed. EGBA is the "in -season sport" for the basketball
so all of their policies are about winter basketball so they are not trying to take over as
much as provide those winter type opportunities so it's a supplement to and not a
replacement of EGAA.
Mr. Bjork indicated that the second thing is the policies that were put forth by the school
and by the city are actually policies that have been in place for some time, this is not a
new thing within the last couple of weeks or months. The policies associated with the
0
school board as it relates to access to the gyms provides access to any community
organization and there is a prioritization that occurs.
Ms. Presthus stated that when she was involved in the EBA there were different levels of
traveling under one umbrella for example there would be an A, B and C team. The "C"
team played three tournaments and the "A" team play ten tournaments and it was
evaluated by grade and by what the desire was as well as the number of participants. Ms.
Presthus asked if the girls basketball does this or has the policy changed. Mr. Bjork
explained that they go into it with a target of what they think they are going to have for
the number of participants and number of teams as well as where those levels will be. If
it happens that there is a smaller number of teams then they will have to retrench and
make a different decision. He stated that it's not a pre- decision but is based on who
shows up to try-outs, what the kids are capable of doing and what the parents are
interested and willing to do. However, as part of making a policy up front by saying they
are going to carve this out before try-outs are even done, teams are even selected and the
number of kids who try-out are determined is hard to do. Mr. Bjork commented that last
year they tried to provide that for the fourth graders and they are providing that for the
fourth graders again this year. However, this was an introduction to traveling basketball
versus traveling basketball. Ms. Presthus asked isn't this the same thing they are asking
to do right now to which Mr. Bjork replied it is. However, he believes if there was the
opportunity to open it up to the community and they advertised it to all 5`h, Oh, 7 1 and 8`h
graders he believes that there would be enough demand that it would overflow and
overpower them.
Renae DeBates, 5712 Bernard Place, EGAA board member and basketball sports director
indicated that EGAA has a house league fall program that is a recreational program as
well as they do skills development. She noted that EGAA basketball has been around for
27 years and noted that this year there are approximately 310 girls in the program from
grades 2 through 9. She indicated that their mission is to educate children in skills, rules
and strategy of sports which they will carry through into adulthood. They are not a
training ground for traveling basketball and their focus isn't on skills development to get
girls into the traveling program. She pointed out that it's an all inclusive program to
anyone who wants to play basketball. Ms. DeBates commented that during the past two
years they've received a lot of feedback from Ms. Glavan as well as other parents who
are aligned with Ms. Glavan regarding their skills development. She explained that in
response to that feedback they formed a task force last spring which included Ms.
Glavan, Ms. Tilsner, several parent coaches, a couple of EGAA board members and
referees who brainstormed ways to strengthen their skills development. Ms. DeBates
indicated that they also met separately with Mr. Bjork and his group not necessarily
related to their skills development but that was part of the discussion. She commented
that EGAA does recognize that there is room for improvement in their skills
development. However, their coaches are volunteers and they do not have to have
training in basketball. Ms. DeBates indicated that one of the biggest recommendations
was one of Ms. Glavan's which was to form a coach mentor program where they would
recruit coach mentors that would work with their volunteer coaches for the first three or
four practices or events. It was decided that the coach mentors would meet ahead of
E
time with the referee representatives and they would come up with common ground,
common rules and common skills that would be taught through these mentors to the
different parent coaches in an actual event situation so it would not involve additional
time from their parent coaches as far as their time commitment. Ms. DeBates indicated
that they were very excited about the recommendation and brought it before the EGAA
board which was approved and they were ready to go. She stated that at that point in
time she had Ms. Glavan's commitment that she would be a coach mentor as well as she
would help them recruit coach mentors. Ms. DeBates explained that she's not quite sure
what happened but she received an e -mail in June from Ms. Glavan that she was not able
to make that commitment and quite frankly didn't have the resources to pull it all
together.
Ms. DeBates stated that what EGAA is trying to accomplish is they are trying to focus on
their skills development and they want to work with the EGBA and with any parent
volunteers to help develop and improve their skills development. Ms. DeBates
commented that she doesn't think they are the program where an intermediate traveling
basketball program would exist because they are not about developing girls into a
traveling program. Ms. DeBates stressed that EGAA does believe they know how to run
a house league recreational program, they've been doing it for 27 years and they've got
great participation.
Mr. Fronek asked Ms. DeBates if they have had any trouble with gym space in the fall.
Ms. DeBates replied that at one time they were a winter program but they gave up that
winter time slot because of gym space issues but they would love to have that winter time
slot back for their house program.
Ms. DeBates indicated that the main point is they need to all work together. They are
about fostering the love of sports for all skill levels and she would love to work with Ms.
Glavan to improve EGAA's program.
Bob Solheim, 4901 Lantana, stated that he thinks it's important for everyone not to lose
focus on what this is all about which it's about parents who love their children and who
want to provide a values driven program for their children. He noted that they have their
children's best interest at heart and that is why they are here tonight.
Mr. Klus asked Dick Ward, President of EBA, how many girls currently are involved in
boys basketball and what do you think the reasoning is for joining boy's basketball. Mr.
Ward replied that this year that number maz be significantly different than past years. He
explained that the EBA is for 151 through 9` graders and it is predominately boys who
participate to which they have Pand roximately 1,000 participants. He noted that they have
had a lot of girls playing at the 4`h grade level and a few at the 5`h grade level and
the main reason those girls sign up is because there is no other opportunity to play house
basketball in the winter in Edina. Mr. Ward stated that they do run a traveling program
for boys in grades 5 through 8 and typically the number of participants is anywhere from
130 to 150 depending on the number of teams they field as well as the interest and
demand in that program. Mr. Klus asked Mr. Ward if these are girls who really want to
10
play recreation basketball versus travel to which Mr. Ward replied that he thinks it's a
combination of interest in continuing to play in a recreation league but they also want to
get better in a sport they like.
Mr. Ward stated that like the other associations EBA does a great job serving the
community at large and they serve a broad base of needs of the community and have a
comprehensive program. He noted that they are trying to serve all of the kids and not just
10 or 20 kids at a time. He indicated that not everyone is going to necessarily agree with
that or care for that but that's their goal. He added that the associations certainly need to
have the authority and responsibility to continue to run their programs.
Ms. Presthus asked Mr. Ward if all of the traveling teams have the same commitments to
which Mr. Ward replied they generally all have the same number of tournaments.
However, last year they started to take 5th graders into the traveling program but they did
not hold try-outs or evaluations for this grade. He stated that they played in two to three
tournaments the first half of the year so that they could get a feel for it and added that
some parents did exit the program at that time because it was too much. The second half
of the year they held a more specific evaluation to which they then went on to play in five
or six tournaments. Mr. Ward pointed out that the kids who try-out for traveling and
don't make a team doesn't mean that there aren't other resources available for them to
continue to play basketball at some level. Mr. Ward informed the Park Board that the
EBA purchases approximately 100 hours of open gym time which is not used for games,
practices or traveling, but is strictly used as open gym. He noted that is their biggest
block of gym time that's available for kids to play. Ms. Presthus asked if girls are
welcomed to attend to which Mr. Ward replied a lot of girls do come and play so the girls
definitely benefit from it.
Mr. Ward informed the Park Board that a lot of parents take advantage of the private
sector resources such as Minnesota Development Basketball. Mr. Ward stressed that they
can't be everything to everyone because they don't have the resources.
Mr. Fronek asked Mr. Ward if he thinks the EBA would be significantly hindered if they
did put the Sting program on the priority list and they were on equal plane as EBA for
one year. Mr. Ward replied that right now there is no more gym time especially with the
shortage of gyms this year. Also, given the growth in their program and the continued
interest in the girls program they are going to be full. He stated that if the gyms had more
users it would definitely cramp their program. Ms. Glavan pointed out that if her girls
couldn't play for the Sting they would be in the EGBA so there would still be the same
number of kids looking for the same amount of gym space. Those kids are not going
away so it's the same as far as she is concerned.
Ms. Klus asked Ms. Tilsner if she knows how much gym time the Jr. Olympic volleyball
is looking for in the winter months. Ms. Tilsner replied that they have five teams and are
looking for an hour to an hour and a half per team once a week during the winter season.
11
Katie Meehan, 5229 Hollywood Road, indicated that she knows the gyms at OLG sit
empty a lot of time and wondered if the city were to approach some of these private
institutions and offer to pay for some space to get you through this tough stretch it would
be a win, win for both sides.
Linda Presthus MOVED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC PART OF THE DISCUSSION.
Mike Damman SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Johnson stated that he likes the idea of sharing a court for practices because in
hockey they do it all the time and it works. Also, he knows that a lot of churches have
courts and maybe that's another option to look into. He noted that with the crunch they
are going to have for the next 1 %2 years it's going to be difficult finding gym space.
However, he doesn't see it being a problem two years down the road. Mr. Johnson asked
Mr. MacHolda what are the hours that are used right now at the school gymnasiums. Mr.
MacHolda replied that typically they use the gyms starting at 6:00 pm and ending at
10:00 pm. He pointed out that Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are booked solid and
have therefore now moved part of EBA to Friday nights in order to free up some
additional time for traveling during the week and Saturday mornings. Mr. MacHolda
explained that the only days they stay away from are Wednesday nights for religious
education and Sundays. Mr. Klus asked aren't Wednesday nights used for the adult
programs to which Mr. MacHolda replied two gymnasiums are used for adult basketball
and two gymnasiums are used for adult volleyball on Wednesday nights, however, they
are not filling all of the gyms. Mr. Johnson commented that for this year during the
crunch they may need to start using gymnasiums on Wednesday nights.
Mr. Weiss indicated that having been on both the EFA board and EBA board as well as a
Park Board member he knows it is a very difficult task to please all constituents, if 85%
to 90% of the people are satisfied then he thinks they are doing a very good job. He
noted that he doesn't know that there is an easy answer to this but they do need to think
about the 200 kids and not the 20. He noted that he thinks they have to make time for
those who follow the guidelines and you either participate within those guidelines or you
need to go elsewhere.
Mr. Klus commented that one option they have for the Sting is to add them into the
priorities somewhere and if there is space available they can have it. Ms. Sitek asked is
there space available to which Mr. MacHolda replied he doesn't think there will be. Ms.
Sitek responded that she doesn't necessarily think they can make that decision if they
don't know that. Mr. Klus commented that another option they could look at is to do
something like they did with baseball a few years ago where the Park Board gave a group
of people a field if it was available for one year only. As he remembers they did not get
first choice but they had a choice.
Mr. Fronek asked if he were to want to have a tea party he would not be allowed to use
gymnasium space? Mr. Keprios replied that under this policy the associations that they
provide services to would have first priority access and any gym time left over would be
returned to the school district.
12
Ms. Presthus indicated that they set a precedence on this a couple of years ago with
baseball to which they were in the same situation and Park Board granted them a one
years grace so they could work out their problems and go back under one umbrella. She
noted this is an option for them to consider and it wouldn't change the overall policy
because it would be for one specific incident.
Mr. Sorem commented that he likes Mr. Johnson's idea of sharing the courts for practice.
He noted that he thinks it could become a bigger issue if they don't let the Sting play.
Also, Ms. Sitek brought up a good point is there even space for them to start with because
that would be important to know. At this point he just doesn't know.
Mr. Damman stated that he believes the priorities that they have here in front of them and
the guidelines should stay the way they are. He noted that he would like to see the
athletic association volunteer boards come up with a workable plan for groups like the
Sting. He commented that he doesn't think this is something the Park Board should be
involved in because they really don't want to duplicate services and feels it's not their
duty to step in at this point.
Ms. Sitek indicated that giving the Sting a one year grace period seems to make the most
sense because it sounds like they are working on a plan to be under one umbrella next
year.
Mr. Fronek commented that he agrees with Mr. Damman in that this seems to be solely
an association issue and if the kids did indeed go to EGBA they would need to
accommodate them. However, it seems they have had some differences in figuring that
out and noted for the record that they should maybe revisit the associations that the Park
Board recognizes and supports. He stated that he does think the Park Board needs to stay
at an arms length but this way the associations are forced to work for the greater good
rather than trying to split off. He noted that it appears to him that something can be
worked out. Mr. Fronek pointed out that it seems to him that this is totally an association
issue and is maybe coming in on Park Board's arms length duties.
Mr. Klus stated that he is in agreement with Ms. Presthus in that they are still not meeting
the needs of the girls who are in the Sting and maybe they should give them a one year
deal. If there is gym time left over after the priorities have scheduled their time then
again he thinks they should offer that time to the Sting before it goes back to the school.
Again, this would only be for one year because he doesn't want to keep revisiting this
every year. Mr. Klus stated that they need to look at what's best for the girls because if
they have different needs this year and there is court time available then we ought to
allow them to use it but at the same time it's a one year deal.
Mr. O'Connell entertained a motion for a priority 3 for somebody like the Sting for this
year but only use it as a temporary deal.
13
Mr. Weiss asked when a group of parents from the EBA finds out about this and next
month comes in with their 20 kids how do we handle that. He stressed that he has a great
concern about granting exceptions because once you grant an exception you will start the
pathway that you do grant exceptions.
Mr. Keprios explained that back when the baseball issue occurred it was the first time the
Park Board staff had to deal with that type of issue so they learned as they went. He
noted that the way they reacted to that was they were asked to draft a policy that
addressed those who were independently incorporated athletic associations in the city.
However, what they neglected to do is state that only these youth athletic associations
that forms and meet those guidelines will have priority access. He pointed out that is
how that baseball group was able to have that priority for one year. Mr. Keprios
commented that the city attorney has advised them that they do have the legal right if it's
for the community benefit to recognize one group for each sport. That does include that
house leagues can be separate from traveling leagues because they are separate sports in
that they have a differentiation fees for the fields which are in place. Mr. Keprios stated
that the issue that the Park Board is addressing tonight isn't to determine whether the
Sting program is worthy and valid, although he's sure they are great people and it's a
great program. What is before the Park Board is a policy for the greater good to take
from here on out. He asked the Park Board if for example they would be ready if another
group wanted to start up a separate men's club at Braemar or a football group wants to
start up a new football group and have equal access. Mr. Keprios pointed out that he
thinks they are going to start seeing more and more of this because he feels the customers
are becoming a little more demanding. They want it their way and if they don't like
something they're going to go out and form it on their own. He noted that other
communities are experiencing this as well. Therefore, what is being recommended by
staff is the policy as it's drafted. He indicated that's not to say that everyone else does
not have the opportunity for gym time because any gym time that's left over will be given
back to the school. He stated the only problem with that is they don't know what's going
to be left. Mr. Klus asked instead of giving the hours back to the school district why not
offer it to other people within the community. Mr. Keprios replied because that's a
service they are not going to provide because it's the school's decision to determine what
the fee would be. He added that they are very fortunate right now in that the school is
only charging the city $6.00 an hour. Mr. Klus asked if they typically return some hours
to the school to which Mr. MacHolda replied that it's very doubtful that they will be
returning any time to the school.
Mr. Klus asked Ms. Glavan if she has talked to the schools about getting gym space to
which she replied yes and she received the same answer as Mr. MacHolda's.
Mr. Fronek asked if he is correct in that Ms. Glavan, Mr. Bjork and Mr. Ward cannot
come to an agreement. Ms. Glavan replied that the simple solution this year would be her
20 girls go back into their program and play at a reduced schedule, however, they have
not come to that agreement because Mr. Bjork feels if he offers that to her 20 kids then he
has to offer it to everyone.
14
Mr. Weiss noted that just to clarify if a group is not a priority 1, 2, 3 and falls outside of
the Edina Park Board jurisdiction then they need to go to the school in an independent
negotiation. Mr. Keprios replied yes, the request needs to go to the school.
Ray O'Connell MOVED TO ACCEPT THE PRIORITY USE OF EDINA SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S GYMNASIUMS AND RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES TO BE
ACCEPTED AS WRITTEN.
Mike Weiss SECONDED THE MOTION.
Ms. Presthus asked if the Sting is a non -profit organization to which it was noted yes.
Mr. Klus indicated that he wants to say that he's not feeling good about leaving kids out.
He understands the gym issue and he's glad to know that for the future the associations
are going to be dealing with that issue 'and is' hopeful that a year from now the issue will
be solved. However, that doesn't help foi -this year. Mr. Klus noted that he still would
like to see a different priority for this group because if the city has time that they are not
giving back to the school and nobody wants that time then he thinks that any group that
meets the criteria of these guidelines should be allowed to go in and vie for that time. He
commented that if the city doesn't have that gym time then they already know they can
go back to the school and get it. Ms. Presthus asked Mr. Klus if he would suggest
having a fourth priority for those who`don't fit into the first three but meet all of the
requirements within the guidelines. Mr. Klus replied that he would feel more
comfortable with that if they are electing as a city to keep gym time. Mr. Klus stated that
there is a motion on the floor and he would ask for an amendment that would include this
group under a fourth priority if they are going to keep gym time and not use it.
Mr. O'Connell indicated that he thinks what they've. heard is that all they are trying to do
with this amendment is satisfy a one year problem. What is listed on the draft will satisfy
all of the other. questions so he doesn't feel there needs to be an amendment the way it's
written at this point. The way it's written at this point satisfies what they need to
accomplish tonight.
Mr. Klus stated that there is a motion on the table "TO APPROVE THE ADOPTION OF
THE PROPOSED ACCESS TO GYM FACILITIES POLICY AS WRITTEN"
IN FAVOR: Mike Damman, Mike Weiss, Ray O'Connell, Todd Fronek, Jeff Sorem, Jeff
Johnson
OPPOSED: Karla, Sitek, Linda Presthus, George Klus
MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Klus thanked everyone for their discussion and noted that it is very much
appreciated.

V. UPDATES
A. Todd Park Hockey Rink — Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that a week ago
the City Council again brought up for discussion the Todd Park hockey rink under
concerns of the council. He noted that they voted 3 to 2 to direct staff to find a
portable hockey board system that they feel is going to work best. Mr. Keprios
pointed out that to purchase a new portable board systems would cost
approximately $22,000 to $28,000. He noted that he plans to research other
potential options.
B. Braemar Athletic Field Development - Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that
the Braemar Athletic field is now basically complete. He noted that there are a
couple of punch items left on the list including some washed out sod and asphalt.
Mr. Keprios stated that it was a great project and it's going to be one of the best
multi - purpose athletic fields in Minnesota mainly due to its quality and size and
beautiful bowl setting location.
C. Grandview Square Park Grand Opening — Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board
that this Thursday at 3:00 pm they will be having the unveiling of the plaque at
Grandview Square. He noted that there will be a grand opening celebration and
that the official program will begin at 3:15 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.
D. 2006 Operating Budget- Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that as he stated in
his memo of August 91h staff proposed to request from City Council that they
reinstate their park maintenance vacancy that has existed since 2003 due to a
retirement. This expenditure would cost approximately $56,000, however, it did
not survive the budgeting process. Staff also requested that $7,500 be allocated
for the National Recreation Park Association accreditation process which would
provide education opportunities for staff to make our operations a lot more
efficient for our customers. However, the Council felt this was not the year and it
did not survive the process. Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that the needs
assessment survey was back on his list of requests, which is estimated to cost
approximately $19,000. He noted that it has survived the budget process so far.
He indicated that staff also requested $40,000 to catch up on fencing, paths and
hard surfaces to which they are woefully behind. He stated that the Council
currently is considering $20,000 instead of $40,000. Lastly staff requested an
additional $5,000 for athletic field maintenance because fertilizer is becoming a
lot more expensive than anticipated to maintain our new sand/peat athletic fields,
and that request is still being considered for the 2006 budget. He commented that
everything else budgeted for 2006 are incremental increases.
VI. PRESENTATION — DIANE PLUNKETT LATHAM
Mr. Klus informed the Park Board that Diane Plunkett Latham will be giving a
presentation on buckthorn. He stated to Ms. Latham that the Park Board very much
16
appreciates the work that she and the buckthorn group do. They have become very
educated through the process over the years and have seen a lot of great things happen.
Ms. Latham gave a presentation on buckthorn that included numerous digital photos of
parks with buckthorn issues to which Mr. Klus then thanked her and her'group for all of
the good efforts that they do in the community.
Russell Kimmel, 6268 Sandpiper, indicated that when she moved to Nine Mile Village
she set out to. restore the wetlands at Nine Mile Village which really are the same
wetlands at Bredesen Park. During this project they have eradicated a lot of buckthorn to
which she personally has put in hundreds of hours of her own time into the restoration
effort. She stated that the amount of buckthorn in Bredesen Park makes their efforts
almost meaningless unless something is done with it now. She suggested that large
equipment be used to eradicate the buckthorn and because there is so much buckthorn
this is no longer a Boy Scout project. She commented that there are a lot of people iri the
area who are sort of discouraged about their own projects of eradicating buckthorn
because of the issues at Bredesen Park. Therefore, it would be very helpful' if the City
could help them. Mr. Klus replied that they really appreciate everyone's effort and that
he wishes there was more they could do right now about the buckthorn in Edina.
Mr. Keprios asked the audience if anyone has been knocking on resident's doors
requesting them to remove buckthorn. Ms. Latham noted that they did put some hangers
on doors last year but they haven't done any this year. Mr. Keprios explained that
someone has been posing as city officials telling them that it's mandatory to remove
buckthorn. He stated that they now have a very serious public health issue at an address
in the Indian Hills neighborhood in Edina. The Department of Agriculture is looking into
the matter because someone misused a pesticide in a very dramatic fashion to where the
drift effect has killed several desirable trees and under -story in the large surrounding area,
plus the soil contamination is of great concern.: He noted`that the city is asking for
everyone's help,in identifying whoever this person is that's knocking on doors and
inappropriately identifying themselves as a city official.
VII. OTHER
A. Bike Trails - Mr. Klus informed the Park Board that there.is some type of bike
council that was going,to deal with bike trails in Edina and noted that if thetas an
opportunity for a Park Board member to be on that council Mr. O'Connell has already
indicated he would like -to do that.
B. Edina Unplugged- Ms. Tilsner informed the Park Board that there is a volunteer
group that is working on a program called "Edina Unplugged" which is basically a
family night that will be held on Monday March 13`h. She explained that they are
going to be asking that all extra - curricular activities, band, sports, etc., not schedule
anything for this date because they are hoping that everyone can spend one night with
their families having family time such as eating together or going bowling, etc. This
is just a heads up and more information will be coming soon.

VIIL. ADJOURNMENT
Mike Damman MOVED TO ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 10:25 PM. Todd Fronek
SECONDED THE MOTION. MEETING ADJOURNED.

w '•
Talk to Park and Recreation — Edina 9113 - Paul Bearmon www.keap.net
My name is Paul Bearmon and I want to thank George Klus for the opportunity of talking
with you about youth sports in Edina
I am an emergency room/ urgent care physician boarded in Internal Medicine. I also
have a background in child development and clinical psychology. More I am a parent
with two children. I am on the baseball board. I have coached both baseball and
basketball. I have played sports all my life.
The reason I am here is that in Edina there is an unfair discriminatory allocation of
resources, many of them public resources, occurring in our youth sport programs.
These programs are hurting many of our kids. I'll explain this further in a minute.
Most everyone knows that kids develop at different rates. They develop physically at
varying rates; they go through puberty at different ages. A ten year old may have the
bone structure of an 8 year old or a 12 year old. There is wide variance.
But some of our sport associations are dividing kids out as young as nine or ten, forming
elite teams, and then allocating a disproportionate percentage of resources to the elite
teams.
As an example boy's travel basketball begins in sixth grade — fifth actually but they
modify their selection process in fifth grade a bit. To clarify — my sons are not going out
for traveling basketball.
In this sport association the kids who travel get around 80 -90 hours of playtime -
(conservative estimate). The remaining kids get about 12 hours of actual playtime. This
is a ratio of seven to one in allocated time and resources.
{Travel season 20+ weeks = 60 hours — add 4 games/ weekend = —1. S hours X 12 = 18
hours - 18 +60 = 78 hours [add in Christmas break court time] House — 20 "events "
Likely 12 games — thus 12x40x ? = 4 hours + 8 other "events" - Assume one hour
each —12 hours total )
This basketball association argues that they don't have enough places to give the non -
elite kids more time. But this reflects their decision to treat their chosen differently than
the remaining majority of the kids. They are not acting in the best interests of all the kids
in the community.
"Anyone who has watched a group of young kids play basketball knows they are all
equally bad," (Bigelow) and the distinctions arbitrary. The rare child, who manifests
remarkable skill at a young age, will have plenty of time to grow his talent. If anything,
not being overplayed and forced into early specialization will increase his chances of
success.
In light of the fact that kids are developing and growing at different rates, what is
occurring is an unfair discriminatory practice. The categorization that occurs at the early
ages usually means from that point on that is how the child will be treated.
We now have a drop out rate of kids from organized sports of 75% by age twelve.
(Institute for the Study of Youth Sports — MSU)
Those people, who think young kids don't respond negatively to being told they aren't
good enough, either don't have kids, or simply don't understand kids. Those who don't
believe this system is unfair to the majority of the kids, usually have kids who are in the
elite group — the traveling group.
Do I think that distinctions can never be made?,; No. But at the younger ages they are
meaningless. Distinctions made at this age cannot fairly result in kids receiving markedly
different access to public facilities or playing time. Not if the association is serving the
community at large.
What allows sport associations to treat. our community's kids this way? Why does this
happen?
The reason is there is no oversight. Our community does not exercise any oversight on
how these programs are run.
It is unfair to tell kids at early ages they don't have the same right to equal playtime as
their peers. It is unfair because it is based on how a kid is said to appear athletically at
ages where we know kids are at different developmental stages, and that given the
chance many.of the children labeled as "not elite" will develop into better players than
those chosen to travel. It is unfair because these are supposed to be programs that serve
all the kids in our community. It is wrong!!
What if a small group of parents was given the task of running the band program in
elementary school? And let's assume 200 children in fifth grade were interested in band.
What would happen if this small group of parents decided to hold "auditions" and based
on the auditions gave 20 of the kids 80% of the access to the instruments and to band
instruction. The other 180 were given the leftovers. What if this happened in the
academic areas?
We know that parents would be at the doors of the school board demanding a change.
But when it comes to youth sports, we allow a small group of parents, who have no
special training, to have complete control over how to allocate public facilities, and the
amount of time given to those they chose as "elite or travel" and those left behind.
Again, before puberty there is no way to predict who will or will not end up being a good
athlete, with rare exception. Success in athletics is not based just of ability, but on desire,
learning, and experience. We cannot determine abilities at this age, but we have a
program that denies learning and experience, and kills desire many of our children.
Our children are being denied a fair and equal opportunity without any factual basis.
"We are letting lawyers, and bakers and accountants decide who will get the opportunity
to develop in a given sport." (Bigelow) This is simply wrong.
Any public group that has the responsibility of managing how kids are to be treated
requires supervision and accountability. This is true in the public school setting, where
teachers are responsible to their principal, and the principal to the superintendent who is
then responsible to the School Board who is responsible to the public. But when it comes
to youth sport associations, who often have control of more of our children's time than
our schools, there is no supervision and no accountability.
I have been told that Park and Recreation cannot dictate to the associations how to run
their programs. To some degree I understand this, it would be a large undertaking and
Park and Recreation may not have the necessary resources or proper staffing.
But if Park and Recreation does not want to closely supervise these associations, then a
new city department should be formed to oversee youth athletics in Edina. It should be
responsible to the Mayor and City council and would exercise a supervisory role over the
sport associations. Other important functions relative to youth sports could be assigned
to it as well.
The State of Maine spent several years, after receiving a very large grant, putting forth
recommendations on how best to approach this area. The concept of a youth sports
council is not mine — it is theirs. I have handed out an abridged copy of their study. The
full study can be obtained by going to my website www.keap.net.
People recognize that many of our youth programs are not in balance. Kids are either
way overscheduled, expected to specialize early, expected to sacrifice all other interests
for a given sport when they haven't even reached puberty, or they are excluded and
discouraged from participation. The negative consequences of treating kids this way
Have obvious long -term negative effects.
It doesn't need to be this way.
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION'S RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE PARK BOARD AND THE PARK AND
RECREATION STAFF
From the Minutes of the November 8, 1977, Park Board Meeting
The basic philosophy that the Edina Park and Recreation Department staff
recommends to be used in working with the athletic associations in order to
maintain good programs is as follows:
The Edina Park Board and the Edina Park and Recreation Department recognize
the individual athletic associations in the City of Edina as the only governing body
for each respective sport. The Edina Park Board, in cooperation with the Edina
Park and Recreation Department, will administer and help each individual
association plan, provide facilities, and give professional direction regarding
operation of their association, so as to maintain the basic philosophies. Also, the
Edina Park and Recreation Department acts as a liaison between the associations
and the Edina Park Board to help see that the associations are providing a well
rounded and equal program for all participants.
The Edina Park and Recreation Department staff recommend the following
guidelines be followed:
1. That all boys and girls receive an.equal opportunity to participate in any
activity at whatever ability level they may play.
2. Have fun.
I Build good sportsmanship and character.
4. Learn basic fundamentals of the sport they participate in.
5. Be a good team member.
6. Learn to accept discipline.
7. Have a reasonable amount of practices and games.
8. The Edina Park and Recreation Department staff should encourage the use
of volunteers on the Board of Directors, as well as, in the coaching, because
we believe in the philosophy of citizen involvement.
9. Selection of members to serve on the Board of Directors and as coaches
should be based on the prospective member having the understanding of the
basic program for all ability levels and all ages.

for the Task Force Members to use for listening and obtaining feedback from Edina
residents and employers. It is helpful to frame the strategies and start talking to
people now with preliminary ideas. This will be an opportunity to learn, improve
and develop the best strategies —and ultimately, action plans.
Lutheran Social Service
Shirley Olson from Lutheran Social Service (LSS) was introduced and welcomed.
She shared the following information with the Task Force:
• All types of housing are needed for seniors.
• LSS offers two valuable services for seniors — Assisted Living and Home
Management. Home Management is an ancillary service provided in
apartment buildings.
• LSS believes it is important to support people to be as independent as
possible and to keep them vibrant.
• Funding is the big question -what works and what does not?
• Assisted living is approximately $1200 monthly. It can be very hard for
seniors to even consider doing this let alone how to go about doing this—
privately, from medical assistance, through elderly waiver or by alternative
care.
Ms. Becker remarked that long -term care will break the State budget. How can the
State be approached to look at funding options rather than cutting people off of
Medicaid? People are not prepared to pay the big expenses.
Member Burke discussed a collaborative partnership entitled "Partners in Care"
among Edina Resource Center, Our Lady of Grace Church, Normandale Center for
Healing and Wholeness, Neighborhood Partnerships, Hennepin County, Fairview
Hospital, Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging and the Red Cross. 80% of the
individuals participating in this initiative will be from Edina. The purpose will be to
walk with 200 people on their journey of care over one year and to help them
remain healthy and viable in the community.
Member Helling shared a concern about the expenses in delivering services and the
economic impact.
City of Roseville's HRA
Cathy Bennett, Roseville HRA Director and Economic Development Specialist, was
introduced and welcomed. She shared that Roseville's demographics are similar to
Edina's, with significant changes over the past rive to ten years. Because seniors
are a valuable asset, there is a concern about keeping them in the community, and at
the same time, attracting and retaining young families. Cathy shared a report
submitted by Hamline students which address the planning and responding to the
needs of a changing population. It is evident that the increase in the number of
senior housing units will impact the costs and types of services provided. The city is
considering what kinds of policies or programs to implement in order to
complement the demographic makeup of the community. Their Senior Housing
Survey reflected the changing neighborhoods and the need to evaluate types of
programs beneficial to the entire community. There is a study that shows that there
is not much difference in the cost of providing diverse housing options. Cathy
shared that Roseville has initiated requirements for senior housing developments
with developers pertaining to transportation, marketing and reporting. A Housing
Collaborative Institute has been formed, and she is inviting other communities to.
come and talk about housing issues.
Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC)
Carolyn Olson, GMHC President, was introduced and welcomed. GMHC's mission
is to improve the availability and quality of affordable housing in the greater
Minneapolis metropolitan area. Through its Housing Resource Centers, 6500 to
7000 people are served free annually. Carolyn shared information about GMHC's
Senior Housing Regeneration Program which was designed for older adults and new
families. Older adults who are considering selling their single - family homes are
helped in selling, moving out and locating a new place to live. GMHC purchases the
homes at fair market value and refurbishes them to make them viable for future
generations. Through this program, second mortgages and losses due to
refurbishing are funded by the MHFA/Met Council/Family Housing Fund.

EDINA HOUSING TASK FORCE
Meeting Minutes
Wednesday, October 12, 2005
7:30 AM – Community Room
Members Present: Bob Aderhold, Valerie Burke, Kandace Ellis, Michael Fischer,
John Helling, Mike Huck, Jeff Huggett, Sally Krusell, Scott Massie, Doug Mayo,
Barb McFarlane, Sharon Ming, Cappy Moore, Carol Mork, Joan Naymark, Skip
Thomas
Staff: Susan Heiberg and Joyce Repya
Consultants: Stacy Becker, Kimberly Gartner and Erin Sapp
Chair Mayo called the meeting to order at 7:30 AM.
Actions Taken
• Member Huck seconded Member Naymark's motion to approve the agenda
for this meeting — October 2, 2005; the motion carried.
• Member Ming second Member Helling's motion to delete "Affordable" from
the name of the Task Force, thereby becoming the Edina Housing Task
Force; the motion carried.
Task Force Work Plan
Ms. Becker encouraged the Task Force to look ahead, ponder and prepare for the
listening sessions and small groups:
• Is Edina a housing market unto itself?
• Reflect on the Employees' Survey.
• What makes Edina Edina, and how does affordable housing fit in ?.
• Look at a housing continuum for people in every income; i.e. a mix of
teachers in the community.
• How do we create healthy neighborhoods?
• What is the broad view for the housing market?
In guiding the small groups of the Task Force through meetings and listening to
community members, Ms. Becker reinforced the following:
• Always substitute a positive vision and engage people to ponder new ideas in
order to enrich lives.
• We are not going to be able to do everything! Think strategy! Consider how
to go about it and where to put the resources.
• Talk about personal experiences. Engage people at the personal level to get
them excited.
Edina Housing Market
Ms. Gartner indicated that there is affordable housing already available in Edina;
the issue is the availability of single- family homes under one -half million dollars.
Land rates are skyrocketing, and the aging population is clamoring for places to
live.
Member Helling shared that diversity has made Edina a great community, and the
focus should be placed on people's contributions to the value of the community.
Availability of affordable housing will continue to attract people to live in Edina and
contribute in many ways.
Member Burke reported that the education piece has made this community strong.
It should remain a continuing focus, with people taking advantage of its many
opportunities.
Ms. Gartner indicated that open enrollment is a key education piece.
Member Aderhold stated that the Employee Survey showed the need for housing
options along the housing spectrum.
Member Ming referred to "supply and demand" and that there is no land available
to create new production within the supply.
Member Thomas indicated that there are 251 homes on the market at this time, and
20% of them are over one million dollars. Many of them are older homes needing
much work. There are about 30, homes available in the $250,000 to $350,000 range.
These homes are good for young families to purchase and fix up.
Ms. Becker remarked that there is a perception that the $250,000 homes are not in
Edina.
Member. Ellis commented that young families are going through change. They tend
to purchase their first homes outside of Edina and then later move into Edina for
the schools. More young families need to be brought into the community, and we
cannot continue to rely on open enrollment. The draw to live here is not only the
home but very often the schools.
Ms. Repya explained that the City has worked with. Metropolitan Council to target
homes for scattered site affordable housing. The homes were intended to blend in
with the neighborhoods. It was a challenge, and with $250,000, eight homes were
found.
Member Huggett shared that he knows a single parent who could not find an
affordable home in Edina. She and her son live in Richfield, and he attends an
Edina school. This is a loss of cohesion. Perhaps there could be a paradigm shift to
families living in affordable condos.
Member Massie brought up the issue of density regarding housing options. He
cautioned about doing too much, the importance of doing what is right and doing it
well. He reminded the group that there are limited resources available to create
diversified housing stock.
Member Thomas shared that there are many older Edinans still living in their
homes. It would be meaningful to give them options similar to GMHC's program.
Ms. Gartner remarked that for younger families moving into older homes, it would
be helpful to offer some kind of assistance for refurbishing.
Member Huggett indicated that it is important to quantify home data in Edina as to
type of home as well as quantity. Looking at affordable housing raises concerns —
what will the costs be and will it be worth it?
Member Mayo stated that we need to answer the question of what are the economic
benefits of affordable housing in the community.
Member Ming discussed well- designed condos for families. The Southdale project
does not have an affordable component now but will consider hearing from the Task
Force in the near future. The land appears to be under - utilized, and the question
remains —how to get diverse housing stock into the mix.
Member Fischer shared that in an area like Southdale, it is reasonable to think
about the opportunity of doing high density around family amenities. This would
give families the ability to build up equity. It would be a friendly environment, and
most importantly, life cycle living.
Announcement
Chair Mayo encouraged the Task Force to study the provided materials in order to
prepare for the listening sessions and small groups from October 27th through
November 29th.

Subject: RE: Southview Parking on both sides of the street ? ? ??
Importance: High
Steve-
I hear and see we are now allowing parking on both sides of the street at Southview lane. In
addition, the "no parking" signs on the feeder streets appear covered. They are covered up on
both sides of my street- Sherwood Avenue. What is going on?
Last year, during a peak construction time, the city was able to maintain some order with the site,
and limit parking and construction traffic to the site and the materials yard. Today I have heard
from a few families on Sherwood and Darymple that things were a bit chaotic in the
neighborhood, which translates into "unsafe."
Is this temporary? If so, what is the duration (a couple days, a week, a month...)? This is a very
big deal to us living in the neighborhood; I am surprised that we were not informed, nor the
neighborhood association? (Remember: communication with the neighborhood association (the
ECCNA) can be a very positive thing. Surprises tend to generate unpredictable reactions.)
Could you please inform as to what is really going on?

Subject: RE: Southview Lane Parking Proposal
Steve -
You called me a few weeks back about my inquiry regarding adding a "no parking drop off zone"
on the frontage road side of the French Immersion School. This was my suggestion to your
department last spring and you were going to look into it once school was back in session.
Your approach back then was to "take a look at it." I think your approach is fair, but this year is
obviously a poor time to take a sampling since the auditorium is out of commission with the
construction. Most of the problem with parents stopping traffic and dropping kids off in the
middle of the street is after school and evenings when cars are parked there. I know the new
plans for the school involve a drop -off, but I doubt that will have an impact on this behavior.
Humans tend to take the shortest path of least resistance. The new drop -off is functional for
school pick up and drop off, when there is conflict with the buses, but I doubt it will impact the
behavior I used to see on a nightly basis.
I suggest that you table this review until after the school improvements are functioning, which is
probably a year out. Then you can evaluate it relative to the improvements at the site.
What do you think?

The 25th National Veterans Wheelchair Games took place June 27th through July 1st,
2005 at the Minneapolis Convention Center with venues scattered throughout the metro
area. It brought competitive and recreational experience to over 500 men and women
veterans in wheelchairs as a result of spinal cord injury (quadriplegic, paraplegic),
neurological condition or amputation. This event, considered the world's largest annual
wheelchair sporting event, saw athletes compete in over 16 different venues and also
exhibitions such as golf at the Braemar Golf Course in Edina.
I wish to thank you so much for providing access to the Braemar Golf Course for the 70+
men and women wheelchair athletes so they could have an opportunity to play golf. It was
an experience they will never forget. Susan Hagel and Deb Voydetich, Golf Co- chairs, have
also been acknowledged for their time and effort in coordinating this venue for the athletes.
My sincere apologies for my delay in sending you my heartfelt appreciation in what you did
for these athletes. They will long remember the great memories they had at the 25th
National Veterans Wheelchair Games. Thank you and your staff for helping us make these
Games a success! It was a pleasure working with you.

Dear Ms. Mangen:
800 LaSalle Avenue
PO Box 59038
Minneapolis, MN 55459 -0038
I am writing to inform you that on November 2, CenterPoint Energy filed with the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission to change its rates for utility distribution service.
A rate filing is the regulatory process that public utilities must follow to formally change rates and
services for their customers. This filing will affect the rates paid by all of CenterPoint Energy's
more than 770,000 customers. The process for changing our rates will take about one year, with
interim (temporary) rates implemented on January 1, 2006, and final rates implemented in the fall
of 2006.
For your information, I have enclosed a news release covering some of the basic information about
our filing. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like additional information about
the filing. Information is available at our Web site at CenterPointEnergy.com/ratecase.

CenterPoint Energy Files to Change its Natural Gas Distribution Rates
Monthly Increase of $3 Proposed for Average Residential Customer in Minnesota
Minneapolis — CenterPoint Energy today filed with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission
(MPUC) to change the company's natural gas distribution rates. If approved, the new rates will
increase the average residential customer's bill by about $3 per month.
"The costs of distributing natural gas to our customers have been greatly affected by
unprecedented increases in natural gas prices," said Phil Hammond, vice president of supply
management, regulatory services and government relations. "Just as our customers are seeing the
effect of high gas prices in their bills, we too are seeing costs to distribute the gas they use being
greatly impacted by these high gas prices. The proposed new rates are necessary because of
higher costs that are largely beyond our control," he added.
The filing applies only to the distribution charge on a customer's bill, which makes up about 20
percent of the bill and covers the costs of distributing natural gas. Distribution costs include
operating and maintaining CenterPoint Energy's natural gas distribution system, taxes and fees
paid to government entities, depreciation, income, and interest. The filing does not apply to the
cost of gas, which is what the company pays for natural gas used by customers and makes up
about 80 percent of the bill. CenterPoint Energy does not mark -up the cost of gas; instead, it
passes it through to customers on a dollar- for - dollar basis.
The main reasons CenterPoint Energy's distribution costs have increased are:
■ Rising natural gas prices over the last year, and the prospect of higher prices in the
foreseeable future, have dramatically increased the company's costs associated with
delivering natural gas to customers. These increases include costs to finance gas
purchased and stored for delivery in winter, as well as other costs such as bad debts.
Increasing capital investments to ensure a safe and reliable distribution system, including
the replacement of approximately 30,000 service lines in 34 Minnesota communities in P
the former Midwest Gas service area.
■ Declining use per customer, which affects the company's ability to recover distribution
costs that, for the most part, do not change with the amount of gas used by customers.
Use is declining because customers have reacted to higher natural gas prices by
conserving energy, and because of more energy efficient equipment and building
construction improvements.
"One of the ways CenterPoint Energy is trying to help lessen the impact of bad debt expenses
included in customer bills is by proposing a new pricing mechanism that will adjust our rates to
reflect future changes in bad debt expenses," said Hammond. "This mechanism is being used in a
handful of other states, but CenterPoint Energy would be the first utility in Minnesota to do so if
the MPUC agrees with our approach," he added.
If the filing is approved by the MPUC, the new rates will generate $40.9 million annually or 2.4
percent of CenterPoint Energy's revenues in Minnesota, and will affect individual monthly bills
differently depending on natural gas use and customer group. Customers will see the first
change on their bills beginning January 1, 2006, when interim, or temporary, rates are expected to
take effect. Interim rates stay in place until a decision is made by the MPUC and the company
implements final rates. In early 2006, public hearings will be held to provide customers and other
interested parties the opportunity to comment on the rate request, followed by formal hearings at
the MPUC. A final decision from the MPUC is expected in August 2006, with new rates to be
implemented in the fall of 2006. If final rates are lower than interim rates, the company will
refund the difference to customers with interest. If they are higher than interim rates, customers
will not be required to make up the difference.

Base Rate Case Filed Today
I would like to inform you that earlier today Xcel Energy asked the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission to authorize an overall 8.05 percent increase in
electric base rates, representing an increase of $168 million in annual revenue.
This is the first time in 13 years that the company has requested such an
increase.
While the case is being reviewed by the MPUC, we have requested that interim,
or temporary, rates be put into place beginning Jan.1, 2006. The amount of the
interim increase is 6.9 percent and this will apply to all customer rate case.
We are requesting this increase to recover the cost of significant plant and
infrastructure investments from the past 13 years as well as increases in
operating costs. These investments total nearly $5 billion. If we don't seek this
increase today we will not be in a position to make the future investments and
provide service levels necessary to continue to meet growing electric demand,
and that would be more costly to customers in the long run.
We have carefully held the line on our operating costs during the past 13 years,
without raising rates. However, just as other businesses have experienced, we
have seen unavoidable increases in such areas as employee healthcare, security
and technology improvements.
Like Xcel Energy, many utilities in the country have requested increases in their
base rates or plan to do so in the near future. We believe that even with our
proposed 8.05 percent increase, our prices will remain competitive.
For more information about this proposal, please feel free to contact me at

Subject: For City Council Re: Edina sports associations
To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to voice my opinion regarding the sports associations in Edina. My family moved to
Edina five years ago from Ohio in association with a.job change for me. My boys were in 7th
grade and 4th grade at the time and I was looking for an opportunity for the boys to fit in. Since
children in Minnesota (and specifically Edina) are practically born with hockey skates attached,
my boys were much too old for getting involved with hockey. I turned therefore to the Edina
Football Association, the Edina Baseball Association, and the Edina Basketball Association.. Both
from personal interest and a desire to help my kids get integrated in the new surroundings,
became involved with the football and baseball associations as a coach. I was impressed from
the start with the dedication and community spirit within these organizations. Coaching within
these organizations has been very rewarding with many opportunities to improve my coaching
skills through clinics and seminars held with the high school coaches and professional teams in
the area..
Both my boys have loved football in Edina and I've been impressed over and over by how much
effort is put into the fair distribution of players, fair play, and the benefits of an inclusive program
where everyone gets to play. We moved from a small town in Ohio where sports programs were
driven by a few obsessive parents and benefited only a few. I NEVER felt that way in Edina and
was welcomed (even as a new transplant) to participate. The sports associations in Edina have
welcomed me and my family and I do not believe that these organizations would gain
anything from being run by the parks and recreation department of the city government. I cannot
understand how someone can make the statement, "Any public entity that functions
without oversight and without a way for the public to voice its opinion is a
set up for problems." in connection to the Edina sports associations. As a member of the
"public" I have always had plenty of forums to express my opinions within these organizations.
Likewise, the statement "there is no supervision and no way for the public to
have input into how their programs are designed" is amazing in its
shortsightedness and inaccuracy. How about the "public" getting involved in the organizations
and working with the kids? How about anyone that is concerned about supervision and program
design getting off their couch four nights a week and coming to the meetings and practice
sessions? The sports associations in Edina are begging for volunteers to help in any way
possible, and this includes policies. I feel these entities work, and work well. My sincere opinion
is that putting these organizations under city control would only hinder their effectiveness and
spirit by adding layers of "oversight" by people who want control but are uninterested in actually
participating and contributing. I encourage anyone who has an interest to attend the meetings
and get out there and work with the youngsters as I have. Everyone is welcome. My oldest son
just completed his junior year with Edina's JV football team and my youngest son and I just
completed the 8th grade football season. Neither of my boys are going to be football "stars ", but
they have gained a firm understanding of hard work, perseverance, and commitment... just what I
had hoped for!
Sincerely,

Subject: Sports Council
As a parent and resident of Edina, I strongly urge the City to have a Sports Council to oversee
the many and varied athletic activities, teams, and fields available to our youth. There is a
growing level of stress on families and children to be placed on the "elite" teams for specific
sports. As a community, we. need to assure that emphasis is placed not just on the kids
who have the available funds and means to get extra training but on all of our kids who
want to participate in sports. Our coaches and athletic boards need to take another look
at their mission statements and realize that cutting kids from teams at the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th
grade level is not healthy for the kids, does not match most of their mission statements, and is
not in line with what the City of Edina should be about. Perhaps if parents and coaches want
to create elite teams, they should also have to come up with extra funds to pay for
private fields or gyms for their teams so that our City's resources are left available for the
average kids that just want to play sports. I hope that our wonderful City can continue to serve
all of our children, not just those whose parents see a future professional athlete and will go to
any means to get them there. Thank you.

Forces of Change
Looking back provides an interesting perspective on planning for the future of the Greater
Southdale Area. In 1955, Southdale Shopping Center was beginning to rise out of the ground.
France Avenue looked more like a country road than a major urban transportation corridor.
Over the past fifty years, the Area has evolved into one of the most unique and identifiable
places in the Twin Cities. The key question now becomes "What will the Greater Southdale
Area be like in 2025, twenty years from now?"
To help answer this question, the Study used a series of investigations to understand the forces
that shape future land use and transportation in the Greater Southdale Area. These investiga-
tions collected and analyzed information from a wide range of sources:
• A "futures workshop" assembled a group of visionary thinkers to explore the future
of Edina.
• Two public workshops allowed the community to inform and guide the consulting
team.
• "Stakeholder" interviews allowed the consulting team to learn about the plans and
concerns of key parties in the Area.
• A "community advisory committee" provided critical assessment and feedback
throughout the process.
• A "technical advisory committee" contributed information and guidance from key
staff.
• City policy makers (Members of the City Council, Planning Commission and Trans-
portation Commission) provided guidance through two workshops.
• The consulting team collected and analyzed an array of data about the Greater Southdale
Area.
These investigations produced a series of findings about the Greater Southdale Area. These
findings provide the framework for the creation of plans for the future of the Area. This
section of the report summarizes the findings. Additional supporting information about the
study area, community demographics, market consideration and transportation issues can be
found in Appendix A.
More Jobs Than People
In the 1990's, the number of jobs in Edina surpassed its population. This trend is forecast to
continue. The most recent forecast by the Metropolitan Council shows Edina's population
increasing by 4,075 from 2000 to 2030, a rate of 8.6 %. During the same period, Edina is
forecast to add more than twice as many new jobs (9,647), growing by 18.3 %.
Office development will continue to seek proximity to I -494 and other locations along the
regional freeway system. The ability to capture this growth may be constrained by existing
regulations. Edina development regulations limit the permissible volume of commercial
office development to a .5 floor -to -area (FAR) ratio. This limits the intensity of develop-
ment use. Under this limitation, many developers of major Class -A projects may find it

difficult to build recognizable - and typically larger and /or taller - buildings (with covered
parking), and may seek alternative locations.
Excellent Demographics
Part of the development attraction for Edina
comes from excellent demographic character-
istics. In 2000, Edina ranked substantially
above the County and the region in terms of
income, educational attainment and profession
occupations. The ability to maintain these dis-
tinctions will be a factor in future develop-
ment. Figure 3
Older Population Income (2000 Census)
Edina has been a more mature community. The
age of the local population is notably higher TWn0dwSMBA A03U
than the region as a whole. In 2000, almost
23% of Edina residents were age 65 or older. r wmwomv �raMws�a

Regional Context
More Competition
Edina faces additional competition for all forms of development. Suburban growth continues
to radiate outward to the west and southwest of Edina. Eden Prairie Center and Ridgedale
offer more convenient shopping for these communities than the Southdale Area.
New development planned at the Mall of America is likely to include more than 800,000+
square feet of retail/ restaurant space as well as office, hotel and entertainment - related com-
ponents.
Among its primary competitors, Southdale draws upon the largest market, but median house-
hold incomes in the Eden Prairie Center and Ridgedale markets exceed the Southdale mar-
ket.
Market Pressures
All investigations conducted for the Study reached the same conclusion - the Greater Southdale
Area is attractive to new development Market research and stakeholder interviews are
supported by real actions. Consider what occurred during the twelve month course of the
Study:
• Southdale Shopping Center purchased by Mills Corporation. Mills is preparing plans
to renovate and enhance this commercial icon.
• Target began planning for the replacement of the existing store with a Super Target.
• Cypress Equities purchased the Centennial Lakes Theater and for redevelopment
into housing and retial. A mixed use project is under consideration by the Edina
Planning Commission.

Development Opportunities
In addition to redevelopment and renovation, a series of specific development opportunities
play a role in shaping the future of the Area:
• Housing will be a part of future development in the Southdale Area. All of the
investigations conducted during the study process indicate demand for additional hous-
ing. The Greater Southdale Area provides an opportunity for the community to
establish additional life -cycle housing. New housing in the area can address the need
for entry level housing, empty nester housing, senior housing and affordable housing.
Additionally, new housing in the Greater Southdale Area can provide alternatives for
Edina residents desiring to move out of existing single - family homes thereby provid-
ing opportunities to attract new families to the community.
If highway travel becomes more difficult and expensive, housing near the large Edina
employment base may become more attractive. Housing reduces peak period traffic
volumes and produces more favorable impacts on traffic than additional office devel-
opment.
• Office development will continue to seek locations along regional highway corridors
and near Fairview Southdale Hospital.
• Edina removed its prohibition on the serving of beer and wine (1996) and hard liquor
(2002). These actions have opened new opportunities for eating and drinking estab-
lishments in this strong market.
• The Southdale Area offers a strong location for lodging. The area's assets include its
direct access to regional highway system with connections to Minneapolis -St. Paul
Airport, high -end office space, Fairview Southdale Hospital, and services and ameni-
ties such as restaurants, high -end retail shopping and the Centennial Lakes Park.
Health Care Center
Ongoing growth in the health care industry will be fueled by (1) an aging population, (2) the
Area's status as a major medical center, and (3) the emergence of new medical technologies
and practices (e.g., bariatrics, lasik eye surgery). These factors are likely to drive ongoing
growth in demand for medical and other health care - related developments in the Area.
Future plans for Fairview Southdale Hospital influence a variety of land use and transporta-
tion issues:
• The Hospital is committed to long -term operations at this location.
• Significant physical expansion of the facility is not expected.
• Future development could come in the form of clinics and other support services.
• The constraints of the Medicare system present economic challenges for serving an
elderly population.
• This area is the location of a variety of current traffic problems identified by the
public.
• A medical clinic has been considered as a future use for a portion of the Southdale
Center.
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
Density of Development Increases
Recent development proposals demonstrate that future development in the Area is likely to
seek greater density. Several factors fuel this trend:
The value of property requires additional development to make projects financially
feasible.
• Market forces encourage the conversion of underutilized property to more intensive
uses.
• There is an increasing market acceptance of development containing a mixture of
uses.
In planning for future land use and transportation, additional density produces some advan-
tages Vertical density creates additional opportunity for green space. Development is ac-
commodated by going "up" not "out ". Density increases the potential user base for an internal
transit system.
More Traffic
Traffic volumes over the next 15 years are projected to increase regardless of the land use
decisions made in the Study. Several factors contribute to future traffic volumes in the Greater
Southdale Area:
• France Avenue is a regional transportation corridor. Traffic moves through the Area
seeking other destinations.
• Congestion on the regional highway system shifts traffic onto France Avenue and
other streets in the Area (York Avenue, 76th Street, 70th Street, and 66th Street).
• Redevelopment will likely seek an intensification of use. As this occurs, future de-
velopment contributes more potential trips to the transportation system.
• A by- product of successful redevelopment is attracting more people into the Area.
Opportunities to Mitigate Congestion
There is a growing trend in land use and transportation planning to create stronger relation-
ships between live- work -shop land uses in an area. From a regional perspective, these rela-
tionships take trips off of the regional highway system. On local streets, mixing land uses and
spreading the trips over longer time periods (minimizing peak period volumes) mitigates
congestion.
Redevelopment can be used to mitigate the congestion created by traffic volumes by:
• Creating a more diverse and interrelated land use pattern.
• Providing an internal transit system that provides an alternative to automobile trips.
• Providing a functional and connected system of parking and pedestrian improvements
that promote non - vehicular movement to and within the Area.
• Coordinating and enhancing the access to property from major transportation corri-
dors.
• Building new streets to take local trips off of France Avenue.
Greater Southdale Area Forces of Change
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 11
• Creating stronger connections with regional transit services to reduce automobile
trips.
Pedestrian Improvements Needed
Both public input and study investigations discovered a lack of adequate pedestrian improve-
ments in the Area. Pedestrian movement in the Area is impaired by several factors:
• Lack of adequate sidewalks and trails throughout the Area.
• Sites oriented to automobile use.
• Lack of connection between uses in the Area.
• Lack of connection with adjacent residential neighborhoods.
• Ability to safely cross streets.
Technology
If technology continues to change at the same pace, it is difficult to predict all of the implica-
tions for the Greater Southdale Area. The study process raised several important points
about technology and future development in the Greater Southdale Area:
• The Greater Southdale Area must be supported by quality and reliable technology
infrastructure.
• The Internet provides a competing marketplace for retail goods and services. The
Greater Southdale Area can respond by enhancing the experience of shopping in
person.
• Technology allows more business to occur in nontraditional settings. Cell phones and
WIFI make offices a moveable place. Coffee shops become conference rooms. Of-
fice support become retail opportunities.
Forces of Change Greater Southdale Area
Page 12 Land Use and Transportation Study
As the name implies, the Greater Southdale Land Use and Transportation Study is a planning
effort focused on the integration of future land use planning and planning for transportation
systems. Although the two have been considered simultaneously, they represent somewhat
the classic "chicken and the egg" scenario.
Land use and transportation are intertwined. Land use influences the nature of traffic in the
Greater Southdale Area. More development adds trips to the local street system. The nature
of the development influences the number and timing of these trips. Land use can work to
reduce the congestion created by additional traffic through balancing development types and
building inter - relationships that reduce the need for travel.
The transportation system also influences land use. Streets determine where development
can occur. The nature of the street influences the form and character of adjacent develop-
ment. Safe and convenient access is one element of sustaining businesses. Transit and parking
improvements allow more options in the location and form of development.
The Greater Southdale Land Use and Transportation Study seeks to understand these rela-
tionships and how they influence the future of the Area.
Land Use
Planning for the future does not start from a clean slate, but from an existing built environ-
ment. The Greater Southdale Area is a dynamic and changing environment. The Study
process began by seeking an understanding of existing conditions and their influence on future
development.
The map in Figure 6 shows existing land use for property in and around the study area.
(Additional information about the characteristics of the study area can be found in Appendix
A.)
The Greater Southdale Area has evolved into a mixed use district. The Area began as a place
of commerce. Beginning with Southdale Shopping Center, the Area has a strong identity as a
retail center. Fairview Southdale Hospital and proximity to the transportation system (high-
ways and airport) served as a catalyst for office development. Over the past 20 years, hous-
ing has been added to the Southdale landscape. This evolving mixture of goods, services, jobs
and homes creates a framework for future development.
Several important physical characteristics shape the existing development pattern.
Fairview Southdale Hospital is the defining land use on the northern edge of the Greater
Southdale Area. The Hospital brings visitors and jobs into the Area. The Hospital provides a
catalyst for other development - offices, clinics, services, and parking. Future growth of the
Hospital is not expected to result in the outward expansion of buildings. Growth will more
likely result in the intensification and specialization of functions within the current building
footprint. The success of the Hospital should continue to attract other medical related busi-
nesses to the Southdale Area.

Existing land Use
No single use defines the Area more than the Southdale Shopping Center. An initial struggle
of the Study was to establish an identity for the Area beyond the shopping center. The
Southdale Shopping Center anchors the retail environment of the Area. This attraction,
combined with the layout of the site, influences traffic patterns. The critical element of the
Southdale Shopping Center is not what exists today, but what it will become in the future.
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
While renovation plans for the Center has not been unveiled, it is unlikely that changes will
simply result in a renovated and more functional regional mall. The success of recent restau-
rant and theater developments show how entertainment expands the character and life of the
Center. The possible conversion of a portion of mall space to a medical clinic hints at the
variety of potential uses.
The public open ,space in Centennial Lakes jumps off of the existing land use map. No other
comparable place can be found in the Greater Southdale Area. This feature demonstrates
how public space can be an anchor and organizing element for development. The combination
of open space, recreation and trails make this space an essential part of Centennial Lakes. The
preliminary site design for the Centennial Lakes Theater property seeks to incorporate this
amenity. The desire to expand this form of public open space into other parts of the Greater
Southdale Area has been a consistent theme of input received during the study process.
Edge uses along France andYork pose important land use challenges. These uses are commer-
cial properties along the west side of France (south of 69th Street) and the east side of York
(between 66th Street and 70th Street). Development in these locations orients to the street
for visibility and access. The variety of street access points from these properties creates
movement and safety issues along France and York. As traffic volumes increase, the ability to
access these properties become more difficult. Development in these locations must also
recognize connections with adjacent neighborhoods. These parts of the Greater Southdale
Area become transition zones between the neighborhoods and the more intense uses between
France and York.
Transportation
The transportation system in the Greater Southdale Area is a network of trails, streets and
freeways that not only connects the study area to the larger region providing for the move-
ment of regional travel in, out and through the study area, but also provides connectivity
within the study area for local circulation and access. Regional and local travel patterns affect
the form and function of the street system in different ways.
The transportation system in the study area is multi-modal - autos, trucks, buses, bicycles and
pedestrians all share portions of the system. As with regional and local travel patterns, each
mode affects the form and function of the street system differently. The complex interaction
of movement and mode with the pattern of development in the Greater Southdale Area
results in the transportation conditions that are experienced in the study area today.
To understand how transportation conditions in the Greater Southdale Area will change in
the future and how change in the study area can be guided to maintain a viable transportation
system, it is important to peel back the layers of the system and look at how each is affected
by movement patterns and modes.
Regional movement in the study area is most strongly influenced by two factors - the location
of the Greater Southdale Area in relation to other activity centers in the region and the
regional attractiveness of the land uses in the study area. The Greater Southdale Area is
located between the center and the growing edge of the region, which is important since
growth in the region outside the study area will cause growth in the regional traffic that
Greater Southdale Area Southdale Area Today
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 15
travels through the study area, independent of any changes in the pattern of land use inside
the study area. The regional attractiveness of the land uses in the study area - the heavy
concentration of destination retail uses in the study area - makes the Greater Southdale Area
a destination for regional trips, which ensures that the level of traffic experienced today will
grow into the future.
Local movement in the study area is most
strongly influenced by the pattern and inten-
sity of land use in the Greater Southdale area.
The current land use pattern (Figure 6) con-
centrates retail, employment and residential
land uses in the study area into a series of dis-
tricts, each with a dominant type of use. The
size and proximity of these districts results in
the movement of trips within and among them,
in some cases in autos or on transit and in oth-
ers, by bicycle or walking. The size of the
Greater Southdale area is larger than any
single walking trip, which results in much of
the local movement among districts in the
study area being made by driving - on the same
streets that are used by regional movements.
The freeway and street system in the study
area is organized to support both regional and
local movement patterns. Streets in the study
area are organized by functional class to dif-
ferentiate those intended to emphasize regional
movement from those intended to emphasize
local movement. Figure 7 shows the functional
relationship of streets in the Greater Southdale
Area.
France, 66th and 76th /78th are regional re-
lievers for the freeways (I -494, TH 62 and TH
100) that frame the study area. These streets
are designed to carry higher traffic volumes
(they are wider) and, in the case of France
Avenue, at higher speeds than on adjacent lo-
cal streets. Pedestrian crossings, particularly
of France Avenue, are complicated by the
wider pavements. The higher speeds tend to
be less accommodating for bicycle traffic.
York Avenue and 70th Street are also desig-
nated as streets that have a higher circulation Figure 8
Current Traffic Volumes (ADT).
Figure 7
Street Functional Classification
Southdale Area Today Greater Southdale Area

function. While York Avenue is designed to accommodate this function, West 70th Street is
not. Rather it functions as a transportation corridor because of its connections between
France Avenue and TH 100, but is designed as a residential street. This imbalance is the basis
of a local circulation issue along 70th Street. Traffic from the neighborhoods north and south
of the street has difficulty accessing 70th Street, particularly during peak commute periods.
The general layout of the regional freeway system, which sandwiches the study area between
I -494 and TH 62, focuses regional travel on France Avenue and to a lesser extent on West 70th
Street, York Avenue, and West 66th Street. The ability of the freeway system to adequately .
carry traffic affects the level of traffic on the study area roadways. Congestion on I -494 and
TH 100 push regional traffic onto the major streets in the study area.
Traffic conditions in the study area are described by a combination of overall traffic volumes
and the level of congestion at intersections. Traffic volumes are reflective of the roles of each
street in the network. Freeway access and "frontage" routes carry higher volumes and because
of the barrier nature of the freeway system to local movement (not all streets cross the
freeways), traffic concentrates at freeway interchanges on France Avenue, Valley View Drive,
and Xerxes /York Avenues. The result is that France Avenue and Xerxes /York carry over
20,000 vehicles per day. 66th Street, 70th Street, and- 76th /78th Streets each carry between
10, 000 and 20,000 vehicles per day. Other streets in the study area carry less than 10,000
vehicles per day. The increased connectivity present in the street network on the eastern side
of the study area results in less traffic east of York Avenue on 66th, 69th, and 70th Streets. The
generally high levels of traffic on France and Xerxes /York Avenues tend to be an issue with
both pedestrians and bicycles.
Traffic congestion at intersections is used as an indicator of how well the transportation sys-
tem performs. The method of measuring con-
gestion reports a level of service (LOS) based
on the delay experienced by vehicles at a par-
ticular intersection. Service levels range from
A through F with LOS A representing freely
flowing conditions and LOS F jammed condi-
tions. LOS D is a generally accepted standard
for planning and design of urban transporta-
tion facilities.
Available traffic volume count information for
major intersections in the study area was ob-
tained from Hennepin County. Data was avail-
able for only a subset of the signalized inter-
sections on France and York /Xerxes Avenues
for weekday evening peak hour conditions.
These locations, shown in Figure 9, were con-
sidered representative of conditions over the
study area.

The areas of congestion are related primarily to traffic movements entering or leaving the
corridor. The location of France Avenue in relation to the freeways and the location of pro-
portionately more high traffic generating land uses on the east side of France Avenue creates
a condition where traffic that left turns from France Avenue or enters from the cross street is
in conflict with very high volumes of through traffic movement. The high proportion of
through movements leaves less green time at intersections for turning and cross traffic and
leads to more congested conditions.
The analysis shows that conditions can be highly variable as a result of how turning and
through traffic movements combine. At the interchange of TH 62 and France Avenue, the
short queuing /storage distance for northbound left turns from France Avenue onto west-
bound TH 62 causes a queue of waiting vehicles that can interrupt northbound traffic at
intersections as far south as 66th Street. Because of the high volumes on France, less green
time is available for the TH 62 off ramps and queues on the ramps result, both the eastbound
right turn and the westbound left turn ramp movements experience LOS E (capacity) condi-
Southdale Area Today Greater Southdale Area
Page 18 Land Use and Transportation Study
tions, even though overall the two ramp intersections are at LOS D or better.
Both 69th and 70th Streets provide regional access to the Greater Southdale area (Valley
View Drive connects to 69th Street and toTH 169; 70th Street connects toTH 100). Both of
these streets serve the southern portion of the concentration of retail uses near Southdale
Center. As a result, traffic using 69th and 70th Streets bound for the retail uses crosses
similar traffic on France Avenue and proportionately more pressure is placed on these loca-
tions. Three of the four left turn movements at 69th Street operate in LOS E. At 70th, the
eastbound approach and the westbound left turn is in LOS E, while the northbound left turn
is in LOS F. Southbound traffic, while technically operating at LOS D or better at 70th
Street tends to generate queues that can extend most of the way to 69th Street. When such
queues are present, operations at 69th Street and France Avenue are essentially metered
since turning traffic from 69th onto France has difficulty moving onto the congested south-
bound lanes.
Interaction between the 1 -494 freeway interchange ramps at the southern end of the study
area and the intersection of Minnesota Drive and France Avenue causes similar turning move-
ment issues with eastbound and westbound left turns at LOS E and the northbound left turn at
LOS F. Weaving of traffic in the section of France Avenue between Minnesota Drive and the
I -494 ramps adds to the variable congestion in this portion of the corridor. Unbalanced lane
utilization from southbound motorists attempting to line up for the several on -ramps to I -494
contributes to the congestion in some lanes on France Avenue while other lanes are free
flowing
Although traffic count data was not available for many of the intersections on York Avenue,
observations of traffic conditions indicate that several of the intersections on York Avenue in
the northern portion of the study area have
insufficient storage for turning vehicles. The
result is periodic blockage of the through lanes
with turn lane demands are high.
Transit service in the study area is focused on
the transit center at Southdale Center. Pri-
mary connections are provided between the
Southdale area and downtown Minneapolis via
a combination of express, limited and local
routes. The tails of these primary routes ex-
tend into Edina and provide local circulator/
distributor service. Crosstown service is pro-
vided on 66th and 76th Streets and links to
transit centers in Richfield and Bloomington.
Southwest Metro peak express service from
Eden Prairie to downtown Minneapolis using
TH 62 stops at Southdale and provides a link
to the Golden Triangle area. Figure 1 1 shows
the existing pattern of routes.

Pedestrian connectivity in the Greater
Southdale Area is largely internalized in larger Fr
developments. Portions of the street system / ~
have sidewalks, but the majority does not. The • \
result is a relatively hostile environment for
pedestrians that attempt to walk from one
portion of the study area to another, particu-
larly along major streets. The wide crossing
distances on France Avenue are discouraging
to pedestrians and tend to make France Av-
enue a barrier to pedestrian movement to ar-
eas west of the study area. While a similar
condition is experience on parts of York Av-
enue, there are off - street pedestrian connec- ! ��
oo
lions along York Avenue that reduce the bar- 1 \
rier nature and enhance connectivity with I (_
Richfield.
The scale and location of land uses relative to • _
each other in the Greater Southdale Area is
large, which tends to reduce the effectiveness • \
of walking as a primary means of travel in the �\
study area. When a five- minute walking circle L . — . — • /. I
or pedestrian catchment is used to measure
the pedestrian connectivity of the study area,
it becomes evident that many of the destina- LEGEND .
tion land uses in the study area are not within "` " "• " "'^ J
walking distance of the places people live and -
work. Figure 12 illustrates the pedestrian Figure 12
catchment areas. The different districts that Pedestrian Catchment Areas
make up the study area tend to be of a size that a five- minute walk can get one from the edge
to the center. The net result is that trips among land uses within the study area occur, but
because of the large size of the study area and limited availability of transit, many of these
local trips occur by driving.

Exploring the
Future
Alternatives for the Future
In the early stages of the planning process, land use was the starting point. Initial consider-
ations addressed a broader scale issue, understanding the alternatives for controlling future
development. Edina faces a choice between three basic alternatives: 1) limit development, 2)
incremental change, and 3) managed growth.
Limit Development
Problems related to increased traffic were the most common concern voiced during the
initial meeting at the onset of the planning process. A simple response to these concerns
would be to limit development. This approach seeks to prevent increased traffic congestion
by limiting future development. In reality, the City cannot simply shut the gates. Current
land use controls allow for more development at many locations throughout the Area. The
City cannot impose a perpetual development moratorium. Even if this were possible, it is
not in the long -term interests of either the City or the County. The Southdale Area faces
increasing competition for customers and investment. Strict limitations on new develop-
ment and redevelopment adds to the incentive for businesses to locate in other places. Pur-
suit of this approach over time places the City in the position of risking a downward spiral of
the physical and economic condition of the Area.
Incremental Change
The Greater Southdale Area faces pressure for additional development. Target is proposing
to raze its existing facility and build a new SuperTarget. Cypress Equities proposes to replace
the Centennial Lakes Theater with retail and housing. The new owner of Southdale Shopping
Center (Mills Corporation) is considering options for improvements. Other development
projects are being discussed and explored. In each case, the proposed use adds development
to the site. Even in the strong Edina market, additional intensity is needed for development
to be financially feasible. No single development project makes a tangible difference in
current levels of traffic congestion. The cumulative effect of incremental development will
be a transportation system that no longer functions at an acceptable level and potential solu-
tions that have been lost.
Managed Growth
From its inception, the Greater Southdale Area Land Use and Transportation Study has been
focused on managed growth. Southdale remains one of the Twin Cities most significant com-
mercial areas. It will continue to attract strong development and redevelopment interest.
Accordingly, the land use and transportation planning efforts of this study are focused on
crafting a strategy to carefully guide development while supplying supporting public invest-
ments that can produce the greatest benefit to the community. The components of the Greater
Southdale Area Land Use and Transportation Study are clearly focused on supporting a strat-
egy of managed growth.

Land Use and Transportation Study Page 21
Land Use Categories and Typologies
The study process was used to create and evaluate a series of alternative land use concepts for
the future of the Greater Southdale Area. These concepts were depicted as a pattern of land
uses supported by public redevelopment initiatives. The concept illustrations show broad -
scale options for the fixture. It is important to more clearly understand the nature of devel-
opment proposed for the Greater Southdale Area.
The section that follows uses text and photographs to define the characteristics of develop-
ment desired for the Area.
Mixed Use
More property is guided for Mixed Use than any other land use category. This designation
reflects the evolving nature of the Greater Southdale Area. Over the past 25 years, the Area
has become a mixed use district containing places to shop, to work and to live. In a mixed use
district, each land use typically occupied a separate parcel of land. The mixing and integration
of uses occurred over a broader area. The concept for the Greater Southdale Area proposes
mixed uses at the parcel level.
In simplest terms, the mixed use category shows locations where it is appropriate to allow
commercial and residential uses on the same site. Mixed use is not a singular approach to land
use and development. The form of development varies from place to place. Adding a resi-
dential component to the Southdale Shopping Center site is different than integrating housing
with the retail development along York Avenue.
Some mixed use will be horizontal. Each building has a distinct use - retail, office, housing.
Buildings with different uses are incorporated into a common site plan. The Cypress Equities
proposal for the Centennial Lakes Theater site is an example. The site concept includes
housing, retail and restaurant uses. Each use occurs in separate structure.
Mixed use development may also be organized in a vertical manner. In vertical mixed use, a
single structure contains different land uses. The Excelsior and Grand development in St.
Louis Park and the 5000 France Redevelopment at 50th & France are examples of contempo-
rary vertical mixed use. Retail uses occur at street level with housing occupying the remain-
der of the building. The mixing of uses may take a variety of forms depending on market and
site considerations.
It is important to understand that this land use designation does not mandate mixed use
development. Some parcels shown as mixed use in the land use concept will have singular use
- retail, office or housing. The objective of this designation is to create opportunity for mixed
use. The land use concept recognizes that encouraging mixed use development is an essential
element of managing land use and transportation in the Greater Southdale Area.
• Mixed use development helps to mitigate the impacts from traffic produced by addi-
tional development.
• Mixed use development creates the potential for shared parking and an overall re-
Exploring the Future Greater Southdale Area
Page 22 Land Use and Transportation Study
duction in parking spaces.
Mixed use development acknowledges the need for additional density while main-
taining a strong retail identity.
CommerciaVRetail
The Greater Southdale Area is a place of commerce. It is one of the premier retail districts
in the Twin Cities. Edina seeks to maintain and enhance this status in the future. The retail
character of the Area must not be lost in the evolution of mixed use development.
Early land use concepts in the Study process had more areas of "red" - parcels guided solely
for commercial /retail development. The key question in evaluating land use options became
"Would mixed use development be inappropriate on this parcel ?" It is easy to be swayed by
current use and near term prospects for development. The Galleria and Target parcels are
prime examples. These sites are exclusively retail with no immediate pressure for redevel-
opment with other uses. Yet, there is little that distinguishes these parcels from other mixed
use sites in the Greater Southdale Area. Current use does not preclude future opportunity
for a mixture of uses.
These considerations guided the designation of Commercial/ Retail land use. Only the northeast
quadrant of York Avenue /66th Street is designated as solely Commercial /Retail. In other
locations, the Commercial/ Retail land use shows a retail orientation of a mixed use develop-
ment. The strips of "red" depict commercial /retail uses with an orientation to the adjacent
street.
Office
Mixed use does not fit in every location. Some places should be dedicated solely for office
use. These locations are focused on the I -494 corridor and property adjacent to Fairview
Southdale Hospital. The Office land use is intended for higher density places of employment.
Traffic can be oriented to the regional highway system and potential future transit system
improvements.
The land use concept provides alternatives for other higher density uses (housing and hotel
development) that might seek these locations.
The Office land use is not the sole place for office development. Some parcels guided for
mixed use will retain an exclusive office use. The land use concept also anticipates that office
uses will be part of mixed use development project.
High Density Residential
Some parts of the Greater Southdale Area should be exclusively residential in nature. The
goal is to create and sustain quality places to live. The largest amount of stand -alone residen-
tial land use is High Density. This land use establishes a pattern consisting of multi- family
housing types such as apartments and condominiums. Densities within the High Density
Residential land use averages between 20 and 45 units per gross acre. Buildings range in
height from two to as much as 15 to 20 stories.
The majority of High Density Residential land use in the land use plan depicts existing land

Page 24
use. The only new area of High Density Residential development is along the west side of
Xerxes Avenue north of 66th Street.
High Density Residential land use is also shown within a broader area of Mixed Use develop-
ment. This approach suggests the orientation of land uses within an area of mixed uses.
Medium Density Residential
This area represents areas of attached housing units (duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes)
with a gross density not in excess of 20 units per acre. The areas shown in the land use plan
follow existing land uses. No new areas are proposed exclusively for Medium Density Resi-
dential.
This type of housing may be part of mixed use developments. Medium density housing styles
provide an appropriate transition between commercial or higher density uses and single fam-
ily neighborhoods outside of the Greater Southdale Area.
Low Density Residential
The land use consists of traditional single- family detached housing units. Only one area of
existing low density housing is shown in the land use plan. No new low density housing is
proposed within mixed use developments.
Civic /Public Facility
This land use recognizes three key public and civic land uses in the Greater Southdale Area:
Fairview Southdale Hospital, Hennepin County Library and Southdale YMCA.
Land Use Alternatives
The process of planning for the Greater Southdale Area included the development of concep-
tual land use and transportation planning alternatives designed to address the broader objec-
tives for the project area. While each of the alternatives offered different development pat-
terns and uses, the following general goals and objectives were embodied in each:
1. Maintain and enhance the Southdale area as a regional retail destination.
2. Provide a greater range of housing types, densities and costs within the Study Area.
3. Improve the pedestrian environment within the study area and connections to sur-
rounding neighborhoods.
4. Provide a mixed -use, shopping, living and working environment that meets the needs
of both residents and visitors.
S. Use redevelopment to mitigate the adverse effects of increasing traffic volumes.
6. Provide an on -site transit circulator to reduce reliance on the automobile and help to
relieve traffic congestion on France Avenue.
7. Define and enhance site gateways, precincts and neighborhoods within the study area.
8. Improve the physical appearance of York and France Avenues through streetscape
design.
9. Build upon the success of the central open space spine created at Centennial Lakes.
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
The concepts presented alternative visions for the future of the Greater Southdale Area. They
provided a guide for slightly different views of how private investment might achieve out-
comes desired by the public.
Concept One - Southdale as the Retail Hub
Land Use
Concept 1 featured a general land use strat-
egy focused on concentrating retail uses in a
relatively tight cluster around Southdale Cen-
ter, providing a greater mix of uses in exist-
ing retail sites, increase housing units and den-
sities within the study area, extending the
central open space spine to Southdale and ori-
enting new development along the central
spine. Specific planning strategies employed
in Concept 1 included:
• Concentrating retail uses near the
Southdale Center and Galleria dis-
trict.
• Developing street - fronted retail along
an extended central open space /park-
way spine from Centennial Lakes
north to the Southdale Center.

• Redeveloping portions of the Yorktown Mall retail and York Plaza residential sites to
include open space and high density residential uses.
• Redeveloping the existing Target site so that new retail development would include
street - fronted retail on the ground level along the central parkway spine.
• Redeveloping the Centennial Lakes movie theater site for a new hotel.
• Modifying Galleria to encourage greater street - fronted retail connections between
the Southdale Center and mixed -use redevelopment sites to the south of the Galle-
ria.
• Redeveloping office sites north of 66th Street at the ground level to include retail -
to encourage greater land use connections between the Medical District and the
Southdale Center.
• Redeveloping the northeast neighborhood to include greater residential density and

Land Use and Transportation Study Page 25
smaller block patterns.
Redeveloping areas on the west of France Ave. to include more high density residen-
tial.
Transportation
The general transportation strategies of this concept were to reduce automobile trips by
increasing land use mixes and densities, encouraging a more walkable built environment by
decreasing block sizes and fronting streets with architecture and ground level uses that create
vitality, and providing a transit circulator to reduce reliance on the automobile. Specific
planning strategies employed included the following:
• Realigning 70th Street into 69th Street at the intersection of France Ave. This serves
to bring more traffic off 70th Street to the primary retail destinations of the Southdale
Center and the Galleria.
• Close 70th Street between France Ave. and the new alignment change. The intent of
this action was to reduce traffic between France Ave. and York Ave. along 70th Street,
allowing 70th Street to become a pedestrian - friendly, street- fronted retail street.
• Including a new roadway /parkway along the central open space between Centennial
Lakes and the Galleria.
• Redeveloping the northeast neighborhood with smaller block sizes, distributing traf-
fic more efficiently.
• Including a new shuttle transit circulator route that runs along France Ave., York
Ave., 66th Street, 69th Street, 76th Street and along the central open space spine/
parkway from 76th Street north to 69th Street. The primary goal of the circulator is
to shuttle people between employment, shopping and residential areas within the
study area and to have station links to the regional transit system.
• Redeveloping existing retail sites into more densely developed mixed -use sites that
include retail, housing and employment uses to encourage a more walkable neigh-
borhood.
Public Space
The general public space strategies of Concept 1 were to build upon the success of the central
open space spine created at Centennial Lakes, enhancing the streetscape character of primary
arterials and gateways intersections, identifying potential open space links to the surrounding
neighborhoods. Specific planning strategies employed included:
• Extending the central open space spine north to the Southdale Center from Centen-
nial Lakes.
• Creating a new parkway street along the central open space spine.
• Creating a new central park and pond just north of Centennial Lakes.
• Creating a pedestrian street fronted with retail through the Galleria site that culmi-
nates at a new public plaza at the south end of Southdale Center.
• Providing a new neighborhood park in the northeast neighborhood.
• Enhancing the physical treatment of France Ave., York Ave., 66th Street and 69th
Exploring the Future Greater Southdale Area

Street with streetscape improvements, including new tree plantings, site furnish-
ings, lighting, sidewalks, and signage. The goal is to create an attractive and distinct
identity for the Southdale District as well as provide a more comfortable and pedes-
trian- friendly streetscape.
• Providing enhanced treatment at key intersections to create district identity and
orient visitors. These have been identified on the plan with yellow bubbles.
• Identifying and providing new landscape /trail easements and /or streetscape improve-
ments to provide safer, more pedestrian- friendly connections to surrounding neigh-
borhoods.
Concept Two - Expanded Retail
Land Use
The general land use strategies embodied in
Concept 2 were to maintain a concentration
of retail uses in the Southdale area but with an
expanded area as compared to Concept 1. Ad-
ditionally, this alternative provided a greater
mix of uses in existing retail sites, increased
housing units and densities within the study
area, and it created a central retail spine from
Centennial Lakes to Southdale Center provid-
ing a stronger connection between Southdale
Center and uses to the south. Specific plan-
ning strategies employed included:
• Concentrating retail uses near the
Southdale Center, Galleria district and
the two development sites to the south
of the Galleria.
• Developing street - fronted retail along
a new pedestrian - friendly "Main
Street" from Centennial Lakes north
to the Southdale Center.

for high and medium density residential uses.
• Redeveloping the Centennial Lakes retail site into a mixed -use site to include ground
level retail with residential and /or office uses in the upper stories.
• Redeveloping portions of the Yorktown Mall retail and York Plaza residential sites to

• Redeveloping the existing Target site so that new retail development would include
street - fronted retail on the ground level along the central "Main Street ".
• Redevelop the Centennial Lakes movie theater site for a new hotel.
• Modifying the Galleria to encourage greater street- fronted retail connections along a
pedestrian street between the Southdale Center and mixed -use redevelopment sites
to the south of the Galleria.
• Redeveloping office sites north of 66th Street at the ground level to include retail -
to encourage greater land use connections between the Medical District and the
Southdale Center.
• Redeveloping the northeast neighborhood to include greater residential density and
smaller block patterns.
• With the exception of the site between 69th and 70th Streets, very little land use
change was planned along the west side of France Ave. in this scheme.
Transportation
The general transportation strategies of this Concept were to reduce automobile trips by
increasing land use mixes and densities, encouraging a more walkable built environment by
decreasing block sizes and fronting streets with architecture and ground level uses that create
vitality, and providing a transit circulator to reduce reliance on the automobile. Specific
planning strategies employed included the following:
• Realigning 70th Street into 69th Street at the intersection of France Ave. This serves
to bring more traffic off 70th Street to the primary retail destinations of the Southdale
Center and the Galleria.
• Reconfiguring lane usage on 70th Street to include on- street parking with one lane of
traffic in each direction and encouraging 70th Street to become a pedestrian - friendly,
street - fronted retail street.
• Including a new pedestrian- friendly retail "Main Street" along the central core be-
tween Centennial Lakes and the Southdale Center. This street would include on-
street parking, one lane of traffic in each direction and would become 'pedestrian
only' through the Galleria site.
• Redeveloping the sites to the south of the Galleria and the northeast neighborhood
with smaller block sizes, distributing traffic more efficiently.
• Including a new shuttle transit circulator route that runs along France Ave., York
Ave., 66th Street, 69th Street, 76th Street and along the retail oriented, centrally
located "Main Street" and open space from 76th Street north to 69th Street. The
primary goal of the circulator is to shuttle people between employment, shopping
and residential areas within the study area and to have station links to the regional
transit system.
• Redeveloping existing retail sites into more densely developed mixed -use and high
density residential sites that include retail, housing and employment uses to encour-
age a more walkable neighborhood.
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
Public Space
The general public space strategies of Concept 2 seek to build upon the success of the central
open space spine created at Centennial Lakes by extending a retail oriented, pedestrian -
friendly "Main Street ", providing new parks, enhancing the streetscape character of primary
arterials and gateways intersections, and identifying potential open space links to the sur-
rounding neighborhoods. Specific planning strategies employed included the following:
• Creating a new pedestrian - friendly, retail oriented "Main Street" central to the Study
Area, connecting the central open space spine from Centennial Lakes to the Southdale
Center.
• Creating a new urban village park and pond just north of Centennial Lakes along the
new "Main Street ".
• Creating a 'pedestrian only' street fronted with retail through the Galleria site that
culminates at a new public plaza at the south end of Southdale Center.
• Providing a new neighborhood park in the northeast neighborhood.
• Enhancing the physical treatment of France Ave., York Ave., 66th, 69th and 70th
Streets with streetscape improvements, including new tree plantings, site furnish-
ings, lighting, sidewalks, and signage. The goal is to create an attractive and distinct
identity for the Southdale District as well as provide a more comfortable and pedes-

• Identifying and provide new landscape /trail easements and /or streetscape improve-
ments to provide safer, more pedestrian- friendly connections to surrounding neigh-

Concept Three - Valley View Road Extended
Land Use
The general land use strategies of Concept 3 include concentrating retail uses along France
Avenue, providing a greater mix of uses, increasing housing units and densities within the
study area, and orienting new development along the central spine. Realignment of Valley
View Drive is a critical component of this concept. Specific planning strategies employed
included:
• Concentrating retail uses along France Avenue.
• Developing street - fronted retail along a new central street from Centennial Lakes
north to the Galleria.
• Redeveloping existing sites along France Avenue and York Ave. (between 66th and
69th Streets) into mixed -use sites to include ground level (street- fronted) retail
with residential and /or office uses in the upper stories.
• Redeveloping portions of the Yorktown Mall retail and York Plaza residential sites to
include mixed -use, open space and high density residential uses.
• Redeveloping the existing Target site for mixed -use and high density residential uses.

Transportation
The general transportation strategies of Con-
cept 3 call for reducing automobile trips by
increasing land use mixes and densities, en-
couraging a more walkable built environment
by decreasing block sizes and fronting streets
with architecture and ground level uses that
create vitality, and providing a transit circula-
tor to reduce reliance on the automobile. Re-
alignment of Valley View Drive is a key strat-
egy used to alleviate traffic pressures on France
Ave. in ConceptThree. Specific planning strat-
egies employed included:
Figure 15
Concept Three
• Realigning Valley View Drive to run parallel to France Ave. and continuous south to
76th Street.
• Including a new pedestrian- friendly retail street along the central core between Cen-
tennial Lakes and the Galleria. This street would include on- street parking and one
lane of traffic in each direction.
• Redeveloping the sites to the south of the Galleria and the northeast neighborhood
with smaller block sizes adjacent to York Ave., distributing traffic more efficiently.
• Include a new shuttle transit circulator route that runs along Valley View Drive, York
Ave., 66th Street, 70th Street, 76th Street and along the retail oriented, central
street and open space from 76th Street north to 70th Street. The primary goal of the
circulator is to shuttle people between employment, shopping and residential areas
within the study area and to have station links to the regional transit system.
• Redeveloping existing retail sites into more densely developed mixed -use and high
density residential sites that include retail, housing and employment uses to encour-
age a more walkable neighborhood.
Public Space
The general public space strategies of Concept 3 were focused on building upon the success of
the central open space spine created at Centennial Lakes by extending a retail oriented,
pedestrian- friendly street, providing new parks, enhance the streetscape character of pri-
mary arterials and gateways intersections, and identifying potential open space links to the

Land Use and Transportation Study
surrounding neighborhoods. Specific planning strategies employed included:
• Creating a new pedestrian - friendly, retail oriented street central to the Study Area,
connecting the central open space spine from Centennial Lakes to the Galleria.
• Creating a new urban village park just north of Centennial Lakes along the new
central street.
• Providing a new neighborhood park in the northeast neighborhood.
• Enhancing the physical treatment of Valley View Drive, France Ave., York Ave., 66th,
69th and 70th Streets with streetscape improvements, including new tree plantings,
site furnishings, lighting, sidewalks, and signage. The goal is to create an attractive
and distinct identity for the Southdale District as well as provide a more comfortable
and pedestrian- friendly streetscape. In the case of Valley View Drive, realignment is
proposed.
• Providing enhanced treatment at key intersections to create district identity and
orient visitors. These have been identified on the plan with yellow bubbles.
• Identifying and provide new landscape /trail easements and /or streetscape improve-
ments to provide safer, more pedestrian- friendly connections to surrounding neigh-
borhoods. These have been identified on the plan with green arrows.

Future Land Use and Transportation
The Land Use Plan resulted from the review and consideration of each of the initial three
alternatives including input collected during the second community meeting. As the alterna-
tives were being analyzed and a preferred concept began to emerge, it became evident that
the Southdale Area can be viewed as s series of related districts (see Figure 16). Four districts
comprise the core of the Southdale Area: Health Care and Housing on the extreme north
edge, Regional Retail including Southdale Center and Galleria, the Central Spine and in the
extreme south, Centennial Lakes. Two edge districts flank the core districts on the east and
west sides of the study area. These district
designations are used as defining elements for
r'
specific plan recommendations. Prior to ex-
amining each district, a number of general
study area comments need to be offered.
The Land Use Plan (Figure 17) speaks to the
future of the Southdale Area. It advocates an
evolution of the current land use pattern and
supporting transportation system in order to
position the Southdale Area to remain com-
petitive in the years ahead.
In general, the Land Use Plan advocates a
strong component of mixed -use in the
Southdale Area. Many of the areas shown on
the initial concepts have been earmarked for
mixed use rather than pure commercial uses.
This approach has been taken in order to flex-
ibly address future market opportunities and
to balance traffic generation by mixing land
use types and their resulting peak hour traffic
characteristics.
The plan also advocates strengthening the cen-
tral circulation spine that runs from the Cen-
tennial Lakes office development to the north-
ern reaches of the study area near Crosstown
Highway 62. This spine is envisioned as a pe-
destrian and transit greenway for most of its
length as well as being a vehicular roadway
from Gallagher Drive to 70th Street. On the
edges of the study area, both west of France
Avenue and east of York Avenue/ Xerxes Av-
enue, the land use plan calls largely for either
mixed -use or residential uses. Future uses in
this area have been identified to facilitate ap-

propriate transitions to the lower density neighborhoods in both Edina and Richfield.
The following is an overview of the major elements of the plan. In each case, the descriptions
are by district.
Health Care and Housing District
(north of 66th Street - south of
Crosstown Highway 62)
Land Use
In the extreme northeast corner of the study
area, Valley View Road provides an entrance
to the Greater Southdale Area. The plan calls
for mixed -use in the area west of France Av-
enue with the exception of the parking ramp
that serves Fairview Southdale Hospital. To Figure 18
the east of France Avenue, the hospital and Health Care and Housing District
medical office complex are expected to remain largely in their current configurations al-
though some future hospital expansion may occur. South of 65th Street, the mixed use land
pattern is shown up to Xerxes Avenue. North of 65th Street, the current mix of high and
medium density residential is reflected with anticipation of increased density along Xerxes
Avenue. The central spine trail is shown following the general alignment of Barrie Road. In
this area, the trail may be a sidewalk connection to the north or in the long -term if properties
in the area are redeveloped, it may take a more greenway type of form. Enhanced aesthetic
improvements are shown along 66th Street, Xerxes Avenue and France Avenue.
Transportation
The northern gateway to the Greater Southdale area on France Avenue is also the location of
significant traffic congestion that would increase in the future as traffic growth occurs. The
current design of the interchange at TH 62 (an urban diamond) is the root cause of this
congestion. Analysis of the future conditions on France Avenue north of 66th Street indicates
that the interchange ramp intersections at France Avenue and TH62 will operate in unaccept-
able conditions with the existing lane geometry. The closely spaced diamond interchange
design introduces significant queuing to the south on France Avenue that affects intersections
south of the interchange area.
An alternate type of interchange design known as a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI)
would alleviate the poor operations and problems associated with queuing. This type of inter-
change has most recently been constructed at Penn Avenue /I -494. The basic layout of a SPUI
allows for a single intersection where two now exist, which allows for more efficient traffic
operations and less queuing. For a SPUI at France Avenue and TH 62, the France Avenue
approaches have been assumed to have two through lanes in each direction, dual left turn
lanes would be needed on the northbound and westbound approaches and single left turn lanes
would be needed on the other approaches. It is likely that Mn /DOT would size the bridge
over TH 62 to allow for six lanes of traffic on TH 62. With this configuration, the interchange
would be expected to operate in acceptable conditions at LOS D without the level of queuing
that is experienced today. While weaving from nearby intersections (65' Street) to the left
Exploring the Future Greater Southdale Area
Page 34 Land Use and Transportation Study
turn lanes at the interchange would continue, the effect of this activity on France Avenue
traffic would be reduced with only one intersection at the ramps rather than two.
Development of this type of interchange would need to be coordinated among Mn /DOT,
Hennepin County and the City of Edina. Improvements at this location are not currently
programmed in either Hennepin County's or Mn /DOT's improvement programs for the
near term. The City would need to work with these other agencies to accelerate the design
and construction for a France Avenue SPLII.
Improving the freeway interchange would also improve operations at 65' and 66'' Streets by
removing the queuing on France Avenue that disrupts these intersections today. The existing
geometry at these locations can accommodate future traffic volumes.
The intersections of France and Xerxes /York Avenues withTH 62 and with 66th Street would
be enhanced with higher levels of landscaping and pedestrian amenities. Enhanced streetscaping
along France and Xerxes /York Avenues and 66th Street is recommended to address pedes-
trian connectivity in this district. Pedestrian connections to the district to the south would be
enhanced to provide for better connectivity with the shuttle system and the Southdale Transit
Hub (see discussion in next section).
Regional Retail District (north of
70th Street - south of 66th Street)
Land Use
This segment of the study area contains the
highest concentration of existing retail uses
since it includes both Southdale Center and
Galleria. The Southdale Shopping Center area
is identified as mixed use. Open land and the
dynamics of Southdale make it a candidate for
the addition of future housing, lodging, retail
and /or entertainment uses. Intensification of
the Southdale area will require additional struc-
tured parking. On the north end of Southdale
abutting 66th Street, a transit station is shown
which will be the confluence of regional bus
service, a potential future transit circulator and
Figure 19
the transit spine system. Constructing the tran- Regional Retail District
sit spine through Southdale in a meaningful way
will be a challenge. Depending on the plans for the shopping center, the preference would be
for it to be able to be accommodated as an integral part of the retail buildings or absent the
ability to internalize the alignment, the connection could meander around Southdale on an
existing easement consistent with the vehicular circulation of the shopping center. South of
69th Street, the transit spine passes under Galleria on an existing easement.
Streetscape improvements are planned along France Avenue, 69th Street, York Avenue and
70th Street.
Greater Southdale Area Exploring the Future
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 35
Transportation
Both France and York Avenues in this district are dominated by the access system for Southdale
Center and the Galleria. These retail centers generate substantial amounts of destination -
oriented traffic that contribute to high turning movements on France Avenue. Analysis of the
future travel patterns indicates that the intersection of France Avenue and 70th Street is
estimated to operate at LOS F during the PM peak in the future with the existing lane
geometry. These poor projected conditions could be improved with the addition of the following
turn lanes at the intersection:
• Add a northbound left turn lane
• Add a southbound right turn lane; restripe southbound through -right to exclusive
through
• Add an eastbound left turn lane
• Add an east bound right turn lane; restripe the eastbound through -right to exclusive
through
• Add a west bound right turn lane; restripe the westbound through -right to exclusive
through
This will improve the future operating conditions at this intersection to LOS D, but will
leave queue conditions similar to existing with delay experienced on the east and westbound
approaches and on the northbound left turn lane.
Ultimately, this intersections needs to be addressed in the context of the 70th Street corridor
and its relationship to TH 100. If no changes in 70th Street are made, the volume of traffic
carried on the portion of 70th Street between TH 100 and France Avenue is likely to grow at
a slower rate than has been assumed since the traffic flow on 70th is near saturation during
peak periods. In this condition, traffic would be expected to divert around 70th Street west of
France and use other routes in the study area. Under this capacity constrained condition, the
eastbound movements, the westbound through, the southbound right and the northbound left
movements would not be expected to grow, with the traffic that was assigned to these
movements in the future conditions analysis absorbed into the other movements at the
intersection. Under this capacity restrained condition, the above lane additions would be
adequate to retain conditions similar to existing with the future growth under this condition.
Under this approach, adding a northbound left turn lane at 69' Street to facilitate turns from
France Avenue onto Valley View Drive would be one way of accommodating some of the
traffic that wants to use 70' Street. Valley View Drive provides another route to and from
the freeway system in the study area and currently has capacity available. Reducing delay in
the turn lanes at the intersection of 69°i and France would make the Valley View route more
attractive.
Alternatively, if 70th Street is widened in the future to carry the projected volumes of traffic,
then the overall intersection characteristics would change to the extent that this intersection
may be a candidate for grade separation with the through lanes of France Avenue being depressed

Figure 20
Example of Land Bridge - Dempster Street at Milwaukee Avenue (Skokie, IL)
under 70th Street such that a land bridge (or overpass similar to the design proposed for TH
62) could be used to carry 70th Street across at a grade similar to existing. This would provide
space for an improved pedestrian connection at grade on 70th Street. Depending upon the
design, one or two intersections of 70th Street with ramps to France would be needed. The
design could potentially fit into the same right of way as the existing France Avenue as fewer
through lanes would be needed on France
under the bridge since they would not be under
the control of a traffic signal. Figure 20 shows
an example from the Chicago area of this type
of grade separation. The narrow cross section
of the undercrossing is attained by using
retaining walls, which are more expensive than
side slopes.
When this type of design is applied to France
Avenue at 70'' Street (Figure 21), the extent
of the grade separation, including the points
where ramp exits /entrances would occur,
would extend from just north of 69' Street to
just south of Hazelton Road. In this segment,
frontage access would be reduced to one -way
access lanes. The extent of the grade separation
indicates that it will disrupt the operation of
69' Street and Hazelton Road. Further design
would be needed to determine if steeper
approach grades that would shorten the area
Figure 21
Area Affected by Grade Separation
Greater Southdale Area Exploring the Future
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 37
affected could be feasible. Identification of utilities in the roadway shows that a city water
main that runs down the west side of France Avenue would be affected and would need to be
relocated. Storm sewer would also be affected, but the redesign of the roadway would
necessitate a more complex system to replace the gravity feed system currently in place.
This type of grade separation offers the most effective means of improving pedestrian crossings
of France Avenue. While the crossing distance over France Avenue would not be shorter than
today, not having to contend with the through traffic on France Avenue would greatly improve
safety and comfort at the crossing and the bridge environment can be enhanced to make the
crossing more attractive.
Ultimately, the changes to be made at 70' Street and France Avenue need to be further
developed through an analysis of the future of 70`s Street as a corridor within the City. Such
a corridor study is recommended as a logical follow on step from this study.
Additionally, because of the high amounts of destination traffic in this district, replacing the
traffic signal hardware on France Avenue (and to a lesser extent on York Avenue) with a
system of traffic adaptive control would allow for traffic signal timing to be adjusted more
frequently to match changes in traffic patterns. Extending the traffic adaptive control system
throughout the France Avenue corridor from TH 62 to I -494 is recommended for the longer
term. In addition to the signal hardware, enhanced traffic surveillance and incident
management capabilities would be needed to adequately operate the traffic signal system.
These types of activities would require a traffic operation center (TOC). It is suggested that
the TOC be integrated into the City of Edina Public Works Department function to provide a
closer proximity and proportionately more attention to system operations than would be the
case if the TOC function were integrated with Hennepin County or Mn /DOT's RTMC.
Remote feeds /access to the TOC could be provided to other agencies as appropriate.
Ultimately, the management of transit priority at intersections would be aTOC function that
would need to be accommodated and that argues for a strong linkage between the management
of traffic operations and day to day transit operations. Planning for deployment of aTOC for
traffic management is recommended as a next step.
While the lane additions mentioned above will improve future traffic operating conditions,
the addition of a southbound right turn lane will effectively widen the crossing distance of
France Avenue on the north side of 70th Street. Similarly, 70th Street would also have a
wider crossing distance if these changes are made. Limited options are available to mitigate
the effect on pedestrians that the already wide crossing of France Avenue has. Consideration
should be given to developing a grade- separated pedestrian crossing near this intersection
that integrates into future mixed use development that may occur near this intersection.
This district is the location of an existing transit hub that could become a future anchor for the
shuttle system as well as a potential source of shared parking for the larger study area. Within
the concepts of local and regional transit use for the study area, moving the Southdale hub to
the southern edge of 66th Street and providing a parking reservoir to both support commute
park and ride, but also shuttle park and ride would form one half of a parking /traffic intercept
system for the study area. This intercept system would use a larger "park once" strategy in
connection with shuttle transit and enhanced pedestrian connections to capture retail/

entertainment traffic at the north and south ends of the study area near the freeways. Locating
the hub closer to 66th Street would also place the hub in closer proximity to the hospital/
medical campus in the district to the north.
The intersections of France and York Avenues with 69th and 70th Streets would be enhanced
with higher levels of landscaping and pedestrian amenities. Enhanced streetscaping along
France and York Avenues and 69th and 70th Streets is recommended to address pedestrian
connectivity in this district. The opportunity exists to increase the amount of space available
for pedestrians along 70th Street between France and York Avenues to form a more inviting
access to the Central Spine area (discussed below) by reclaiming some of the current street
and putting that space into sidewalks.
Central Spine District (north of
Gallagher Drive - south of 70th
Street)
Land Use
The area generally lying north of Gallagher
Drive and south of 70th Street is looked at as
being the most likely locale for future rede-
velopment efforts, some possibly on a large
scale. In the next couple of years, the Target
store in the Central Spine district is scheduled
for reconstruction as a new Super Target for-
mat store. Other existing uses along France
Avenue may be altered due to business own-
ership changes, aging buildings and other fac-
tors.
Figure 22
Central Spine District
When the Target store is reconstructed in this area, it is important that it comply with the
focus of the central spine area that emphasizes pedestrian scale facilities. Where possible, it
is important to reduce the scale of retail uses in this area in order to support the pedestrian
friendly vibrancy envisioned along the spine. These smaller scale retail uses could be included
in future plans as depicted later in this study report.
East of the spine street, the plan largely calls for high density residential uses with the excep-
tion of the existing library to the north. Improved roadway aesthetics are called for along
France Avenue and York Avenue. Gallagher Drive is to be improved and connected to the
new spine street that will accommodate mix of transit, pedestrians and automobiles.
Transportation
The transportation needs in this district are directed toward the Central Spine Street (see
discussion in "Public Initiatives "). The Central Spine Street, including the portion along
Gallagher Drive east of France Avenue represents approximately 2,500 feet of new roadway
construction and two new intersections (at 70th Street and the internal street proposed be-
tween Gallagher and 70th). Basic construction cost for the roadway and intersection ele-
ments would be in the S 1.0 to 1.5 million range depending upon the type of pavement surface
used.
Greater Southdale Area Exploring the Future
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 39
The intersection of France Avenues with Gallagher Drive would be enhanced with higher
levels of landscaping and pedestrian amenities. Enhanced streetscaping along France andYork
Avenues is recommended to address pedestrian connectivity in this district. A grade sepa-
rated connection of the existing regional trail that traverses this district, preferably under
France Avenue, similar to the crossing of York Avenue, is recommended for this district.
Centennial Lakes District (south
of Gallagher Drive - North of Min-
nesota Drive 178th Street)
Land Use
This area of the study is generally known as
Centennial Lakes, taking its name from the
successful mixed use and office development
that began in the 1980s. East of France Av-
enue, the land use plan supports the existing
Centennial Lakes development. On the north
end, the AMC Theater site is designated as
mixed use. The Centennial Lakes retail area
is also shown as mixed use allowing future in-
tensification possibly including housing. The
Centennial Lakes office area is shown with its
existing land use types as is the medium den-
sity residential development east of
Edinborough Way. Parcels along West 78th
Street are shown as mixed use.
A transit station is shown at the south end of
the central spine. In order to maximize the
effectiveness of a southern transit station, it Figure 23
should be located as far south as possible and as Centennial Lakes District
close to I -494 as possible. I -494 is the location
of a planned bus rapid transit line that would make a logical connection at the south transit
station.
Improved streetscape is envisioned along France Avenue, York Avenue and 76th Street. The
central spine in this area will serve as a connection to the proposed Hennepin County re-
gional trail.
Transportation
At its southern end in the Greater Southdale Area, France Avenue would need to retain it
current divided arterial design to address regional traffic needs. Interchange access at I -494
requires the wide cross section south of Gallagher Drive. Land uses in the I -494 area are well
developed and set back from the roadway edges in a way that reflects the restricted access
from France Avenue in this area. As a result, pedestrian connectivity along France is re-
stricted in this district and should be enhanced.
The intersection of France Avenue and Minnesota Street /78th Street is estimated to operate
Exploring the Future Greater Southdale Area
Page 40 Land Use and Transportation Study
at LOS F in the future. Proposed change to reach an acceptable LOS would be to add a
westbound left turn lane. However, even with the lane addition, queuing would be expected
to occur at levels equal to or greater than existing conditions. Because of the proximity of
this intersection to the I -494 freeway interchange, further lane additions are unlikely. Re-
view of the future traffic operations shows that the northbound left turn movement, although
lower in volume than other movements experiences a high level of congestion, plus it con-
tributes to the weaving that occurs upstream of the intersection. Elimination of the north-
bound left turn would free sufficient green time at this intersection to reduce queuing to
existing levels or better. Elimination of both the northbound and southbound left turns would
further improve conditions. Alternate routes are available for both of the movements at
nearby intersections.
Further development west of France Avenue toward TH 100 (which is outside of the Greater
Southdale Study area) will put pressure on this intersection and on the I -494 freeway inter-
change. As that development is defined in the future, it is recommended that a study of that
corridor be initiated that includes investigation of alternate interchange designs that allow
traffic to access that area independent of France Avenue.
This district is also the location of a potential transit hub /station stop that would interface
with high frequency transit service envisioned for the I -494 corridor. As such, it would
become the southern anchor of both the shuttle system and the parking reservoir for the
parking intercept strategy. As with the northern hub, if a parking intercept program is
successful, traffic that is traveling through these district would be attracted to the parking
opportunities in these districts. This would have the effect of changing the distribution of
traffic on the streets in the study area and the level of intersection/ street modifications
would need to be revisited if an intercept strategy is employed.
Edge West District (west of France Avenue to the project boundary)
The Edge West District abuts single- family and multi- family neighborhoods in the City of
Edina. Overall, in the Edge West District, the plan responds to two primary factors, 1)
creating a definable edge for the more intense uses that abut France Avenue and 2) improving
connections from the neighborhood to the Southdale Area and points east.
In the northern portion of the Edge West District, the plan anticipates the long -term reten-
tion of the existing office area with the possibility of some infill housing or additional office
infill in the future. South of 69th Street, the Land Use Plan calls for medium and high density
residential uses as buffers to the existing lower density neighborhoods in Edina to the west.
Providing a definable "edge" to the Southdale area is looked at as a factor in helping to ensure
the long -term support of these neighborhoods. East of the medium and high density residen-
tial uses is mixed use abutting France Avenue. Mixed use in these areas is expected to include
housing and office uses that may front on France Avenue. The mix of high density housing on
the west and mixed -use abutting France Avenue continues north of Parklawn Avenue. South
of Parklawn Avenue and west of France Avenue, office uses are identified consistent with the
existing land use pattern.
Figure 24
Edge West District
Greater Southdale Area Exploring the Future
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 41
Figure 25
Edge East District
Edge East District (east of York Avenue to the project boundary)
The Edge East District abuts neighborhoods in the City of Richfield. The concerns in this area
echo those on the west, 1) maintaining a definable edge and 2) enhancing connections between
the neighborhood areas and the greater Southdale Area.
In the northern end of the Edge East District, the Land Use Plan calls for mixed use to
ultimately replace the existing free standing, larger scale commercial uses. In this area
which extends south to 79th Street, the plan emphasizes a commercial retail frontage along
York Avenue. Having first floor commercial uses will add vitality to the area and emphasize
York Avenue as a comfortable pedestrian street. Mixed use in the area that can include
residential uses on the east side will support the existing residential neighborhood in Richfield.
South of 70th Street, the Land Use Plan depicts a pattern that is largely consistent with
existing uses. The Southdale Library and YMCA remain as public uses with high density
housing generally north of West 76th Street. To the south, the plan identifies office develop-
ment consistent with the pattern of existing uses.

Page 42 Land Use and Transportation Study
Development Intensity and Building Height
Future development intensity and building height are important physical considerations that
in many cases, will be linked. In order to obtain enough development intensity to justify land
values and other economic considerations, the City is likely to see more pressure for taller
buildings in the Southdale Area. Accordingly, each of these topics is addressed in a prelimi-
nary manner in this study. Definitive projections of future development intensity and appro-
priate building heights are two topics likely to require more detailed investigations beyond
the scope of this study.
Development Intensity
The opening narrative of this report clearly
states that the focus of this Study is one of
setting a strategy for the future evolution of
the greater Southdale Area. This direction
stands in stark contrast to a redevelopment
plan that calls for spec actions at specific
locations.
Despite the general nature of this study, it is
essential to quantify at least an example of
future development intensity in order to bet-
ter assess the relationship between land use
and transportation and to identify existing and
future transportation issues and opportunities.
Looking at future thresholds of development
at this time is at best, preliminary in form
due to the lack of specific proposals for future
change. For example, the new owners of the
Southdale Center are formulating future
plans, however, none of those plans have
evolved to the point of being ready for public
review. Similar statements can be made for
other properties in the study area.

After defining those areas that may be potential subjects of change, the next step was to assign
land use types and future growth values. Land use types were labeled based on the direction
of the Land Use Plan. Amounts of future intensification were assigned based on the general
influence of the initial market analysis that was completed as part of the study, from trends
that seem to be occurring in the Southdale Area, from plans that have received past approval
(but never fully built) and /or from plans that have been offered for informal consideration.
Future growth assumptions are shown on the chart in Figure 27. Again, this information is
not intended to be a specific forecast of growth in the greater Southdale Area but rather, an
estimate to support a preliminary level of analysis to examine traffic and transit needs and
opportunities.
Building Height
When Southdale Center opened in 1956, it defied traditional shopping center design in two
significant ways: 1) it enclosed the common interior portion of the mall, and 2) it contained
stores on more than one level. Over the past fifty years, numbers of stories and heights of
buildings have evolved over time. Today, the examples of taller buildings exist throughout the
Greater Southdale Area. Examples include the Edina Towers at 17 stories, the Durham
Apartments at 13 stories, the Yorktown Continental Apartments at 12 stories, Point of France
at 13 stories and Edinborough at 19 stories. These structures have been integral parts of the
Southdale area landscape for decades.

Figure 29
Distribution of Building Height
The current zoning ordinance has provisions that regulate height only through setbacks, not
limits on numbers of stories. At the present time, the former AMC theater site is the subject
of a proposed 18 story building.
Determining maximum building height in the Southdale Area needs to consider both eco-
nomic and visual issues. Land values in the Southdale Area and the Southdale Area's heritage
as being one of the premier locations in the Twin Cities will continue to result in pressure for
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
taller buildings. In some ways, the overall height of buildings in the area is not as critical as
the architectural design of the structure and how scale and mass issues are addressed. Build-
ings approaching 20 stories now exist in the area and have not proven detrimental to the
overall physical environment. Similarly, new structures topping out at 20 stories don't seem
inconsistent with the development fabric of the Southdale Area.
Determining appropriate locations for taller buildings should be tied to the overall growth
strategy for the Greater Southdale Area. The land use and transportation components of this
study place a great deal of emphasis on guiding change in the central portion of the project
area generally extending from the new Spine Street retail area on the south to Southdale
Center to the north. Buildings along the Spine Street from Gallagher Drive to 70th Street
need to convey a pedestrian scale. This can be accomplished either by height limitations (3-
5 stories) and /or by allowing somewhat taller buildings with increasing front setbacks for the
upper stories. Throughout the remainder of this area, taller buildings approaching the heights
of existing buildings in the Greater Southdale area would not be out of character. Within this
general location, taller structures would not directly impact any of the lower density residen-
tial neighborhoods in either Richfield or Edina.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation
Moving around the Greater Southdale Area in on foot or on a bicycle presents a number of
challenges. While the area has sidewalks along most of the roadways, many of the walks are
located immediately behind the curb presenting an uncomfortable environment for pedestri-
ans. Additionally, there are no sidewalks along the east side of France Avenue from West 78th
Street to 66th Street. This situation is particularly ironic since many of the area's newer
developments are located along this portion of France Avenue.
From the east, a tunnel underYork Avenue connects neighborhoods in Richfield to the Southdale
Area. This trail continues northward through the middle of large block areas up to 70th
Street where it connects to Galleria to the north. The trail is used by residents from multi-
family housing in the area to conveniently access Target and other area businesses.
As the Southdale Area continues to evolve in the future, the needs of pedestrians and bicy-
clists need to be considered. Particular attention needs to be focused on pedestrian move-
ments across France Avenue and bicycle movements within and through the study area.
France Avenue is a formidable barrier for pedestrians to cross. Because of the width of the
roadway, the high traffic volumes that it carries and the number of turn lanes at some inter-
sections, grade separated crossings would be the safest way to accommodate pedestrian move-
ments. Creating grade separated crossings along France Avenue is a costly endeavor and the
generally flat topography of the area doesn't create natural crossing points. In spite of these
factors, the City and County need to strive to establish safer access and crossing points.
In order to address this issue along France Avenue, a series initiatives including transit, grade
separated crossings and at -grade crossings are suggested. In the southern portion of the study
area at West 78th Street, a safer and more convenient means needs to be found to move
pedestrians from the business areas lying west of France Avenue to the central spine area that
exists within Centennial Lakes. Because of the physical configuration of the roadway in this
Existing pedestrian tunnel
under York Avenue

Land Use and Transportation Study Page 47
Existing Conditions - 72nd
Street at France Avenue
area, transit is suggested as the most feasible alternative for linking both sides of the roadway.
The central spine transit system meanders through the heart of the Southdale Area. This plan
advocates the establishment of a transit line that would connect the extensive number of
businesses along West 78th Street (and even along West 77th Street) to the Greater Southdale
central transit spine.
During the public meetings that were held as part of the project, residents living west of
France Avenue stated a strong desire for a safe connection across France Avenue. A connec-
tion along West 72nd Street, either as a tunnel under the road or as pedestrian bridge over the
road needs to be established. Such a connection may not realistically be able to occur until
redevelopment takes place in the future on either one or both sides of the roadway.
The Transportation portion of this report contains information about a possible future land
bridge at West 70th Street and France Avenue. Should this occur, it would provide a safe and
convenient connection for both pedestrians and bicyclists. The high cost of this improvement,
however, realistically makes it extremely difficult to implement in the short term.
West 66th Street contains a sidewalk along the north side of the road that evolves into a
wider trail west of Valley View Road. At -grade crossings at France Avenue and West 66th
Street and at Valley View Road and West 66th Street are expected to continue to provide
signalized, crossings for both pedestrians and bicyclists.
At the present time, bicycle travel is not one of the major modes of movement in the Southdale
area, largely due to a lack of safe trails and /or roadways. The Southdale Area Trail Connec-
tions map illustrates a system of planned bikeways for the area. The City of Richfield has
three bikeway trails that abut the eastern boundary of the study area, one of which continues
into the Southdale Area and passes under York Avenue. Three Rivers Park District has plans
for a trail that picks up off of the existing Richfield /Edina trail continuing north along the
central spine, west along Parklawn Avenue, then proceeding north to 70th Street whereby it
will eventually proceed further west along 70th Street. In addition, the Three Rivers Park
Plan shows a trail segment along Valley View road up to 66th Street whereby it then proceeds
west along the existing 66th Street trail.
While these existing and planned trails bisect the Southdale Area and provide reasonable
east /west access, they do very little to promote north /south circulation and access. The
central spine has the ability to provide north /south access for bicycles on the roadway. Addi-
tionally, other north /south routes should be considered. Bicycle lanes or trails along York
Avenue should be considered consistent with regional bikeway plans.
Efforts should also be made to connect the neighborhoods north of the Crosstown with the
Greater Southdale Area. A grade separated crossing of the Crosstown Highway should be
considered extending from Heritage Drive to Beard Place.

Public
Initiatives
The Study identifies two key public initiatives: central spine street and transit systems. These
initiatives are critical to achieving the future vision for land use and transportation in the
Greater Southdale Area. The initiatives demonstrate the connections between land use and
transportation. On the surface, each initiaitve deals with improvements to the transporta-
tion system. Making these improvements also shapes the setting for future land use and
development.
Central Spine
In the late 70s, early 80s, Edina had a group of visionary planners that conceived the idea of a
transit way that would run from the southern end of the Southdale Area near I -494 to Southdale
Center on the north. The City was successful in obtaining special legislation to fund and
operate transit in the corridor. Although transit service along the route has yet to be estab-
lished, the transit way corridor today is evident in two principal locations, 1) as a walkway
behind the existing Target store on 70th Street and 2) in the greenway section of the Centen-
nial Lakes development.
In examining various concept alternatives as part of the Greater Southdale planning effort,
the Central Spine became a popular unifying element of the plan. The idea of moving through
the heart of the Southdale area either on a transit vehicle or on foot proved popular with area
residents and employees. Accordingly, it has become a primary feature of the study and an
organizing element for the general area.
The Central Spine impacts four of the six districts identified in the greater Southdale area.
The following is an overview of the alignment and character of the spine in each of the
districts.
Health Care /Housing District
Initial comments received from the public identified the need for stronger connections be-
tween Fairview Southdale Hospital and Southdale Center. People commented that visitors to
the hospital frequently have free time and would visit Southdale if a more convenient link
existed between the two facilities. In order to respond to this suggestion, the plan advocates
investigation of an underground connection between the two facilities in the form of a tunnel.
Tunnels are used extensively in the city of Rochester to link Mayo Clinic with downtown and
lower level commercial uses. At the present time, Fairview Southdale Hospital is connected
by a tunnel to the Southdale Medical Building. Extending the tunnel network to the south
across 66th Street with a terminus either in Southdale Center or in the new transit station
along 66th Street would provide a convenient, all- weather connection. At this location, the
tunnel would be an effective western extension of the Central Spine in the Health Care/
Housing District to serve the health care facilities.
It is also important to link the housing component of the Health Care /Housing District to
points south. North of 66th Street, the Central Spine is shown as a pedestrian and potential
transit connection utilizing existing streets and right -of -way. In this area, the spine traverses
the existing residential neighborhood north of 65th Street.
Greater Southdale Area Public n tlat ves
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 51
Public Initiatives
Page 52
Regional Retail District
The Regional Retail District includes two of the largest retail attractions in the greater
Southdale Area, Southdale Center and Galleria. At the present time, the city of Edina has
easement rights to continue the transit way around Southdale Center via the shopping center
roadway system and under the Galleria.
If portions of Southdale Center are reconstructed or reconfigured in the future, efforts should
be made to internalize the spine connection either as a facility that penetrates the interior of
the shopping center or as a system that immediately abuts the exterior of the building. Mak-
ing a contiguous, convenient connection to the mall will enhance the usage of the transit
system and provide enhanced access to Southdale Center.
Central Spine District
The Central Spine District is the focal point of potential future redevelopment in the greater
Southdale Area. Stretching from Gallagher Drive on the south to 70th Street, the area is the
home today of a mix of housing, retail and commercial service businesses.
The Central Spine District provides an opportunity for the creation of a unique business and
living environment along the new spine street. As shown on Figure 32, this area has the
potential to accommodate an exciting new mix of uses including vertically mixed commer-
cial and housing. Key components of the Land Use Plan for this area include the following.
The commentary is generally organized by the four quadrants that comprise the Central
Spine District.
Creation of a New Pedestrian Oriented Street
The Land Use Plan calls for the creation of a new street that extends south from 70th Street
linking back to the west to France Avenue. As shown on Figure 33, this street is expected to
accommodate pedestrians, vehicles and transit, most likely a rubber tired vehicle. The form
of this street as shown on the plan and section will include significant landscaping, special
pavement treatments and decorative lighting. It is intended to create an internal focus within
the greater Southdale Area that will have a "Main Street" feel. The street can have an urban
greenway feel that will be compatible with the existing corridor that passes through the
Centennial Lakes District to the south.
Northeast Quadrant
The northeast quadrant of the Central Spine District is currently the home of the Southdale
Target store. Within the next few years, Target expects to reconstruct the store. Target is
currently the only big box, retail format store in the District. The new interior street passes
along the back side of Target. It is essential that the Target site present an appropriate face
along the new street, one which needs to have an appropriate pedestrian scale and business
vitality. A blank rear facade of a Target store would be seriously detrimental to the goals for
the new street.
Two configurations are offered for the Target store. The first as shown on Figure 34 depicts a
traditional big box store layout with one exception. Along the back side of the store, a series
of smaller retail uses is shown "attached" to the rear facade. This wrap of smaller retail uses
could be independent stores or possibly departments such as the optical area of the Target

retail center with building faces along the new internal street, 70th Street and France Av-
enue. Accordingly, the interior portion of the area could contain structured parking for the
abutting uses and a landscaped plaza area to serve both the retail users and residents. The
block facing the new internal street should have ground floor retail focus.

Southwest Quadrant
Hazelton Road is the northern boundary of the southeast quadrant. The quadrant currently
includes a Byerly's store and a Marshall Field's Home Store. In the future, the plan calls for
the evolution of this area to include a mixed -use development pattern with an emphasis on
housing. As depicted on the concept plan, this area could have underground parking serving
adjacent development with central entries off of Hazelton Road and the extension of Gallagher
Drive to the east (new internal street). Landscaped courtyards would provide green space
and plazas for both residents and retail customers. Uses along the new spine street in this
area are expected to be primarily residential with limited ground floor retail and /or office
also as a possibility.
Southeast Quadrant
The southeast quadrant is depicted on the Land Use Plan as a high density residential area.
This area currently contains the Yorktown Fashion Mall and high density housing.
Overall View
Figures 35 -38 show renderings of what the Central Spine District could look like in the
future. Buildings on the plan are generally shown as ranging from three to eight stories but
could be higher depending on economics and design details.

Centennial Lakes District
The transit way in the Centennial Lakes District is largely in place as a walking trail and
promenade. Stretching from the Centennial Lake office area on the south up to Gallagher
Drive, the spine has sufficient width to accommodate a future transit vehicle. Connecting the
spine to the south across West 78th Street to a potential future transit hub location will be
more difficult give the existing development pattern and will need to be investigated more
thoroughly.
Transit System
The transit system proposed to support the
Southdale area has three components - re-
gional, circulator and shuttle - each of which is
designed to serve different segments of the
travel market in the Southdale area and to in-
tegrate into a whole. Figure 39 illustrates the
general relationship of the three system ele-
ments.
The regional element of the system is designed
to address the movement of persons to and
from the Southdale area. This part of the sys-
tem incorporates much of the existing transit
service that is focused on the transit center at
Southdale and along the 78th Street corridor
at the southern end of the Greater Southdale
area. As BRT or similar higher capacity ser-
vice develops on I -494, the regional element
introduces a transit hub /station stop at the
south end of the study area to link to that ser-
vice. This regional service connects the
Southdale area to other regional centers and
provides backbone service all day that is aug-
mented with peak period express service.
The shuttle element is the key component of
the Southdale transit system and is designed
to provide high frequency (five to ten minutes
between vehicles) service to move persons
within the Southdale area. The shuttle transit
service would operate with frequent stops
along the central Spine Street. The shuttle
would link the regional elements at the north
and south ends of the Southdale area. The func-
tion of the shuttle is to support development
along the Spine Street. As noted previously,

cation of uses is taken into consideration, the
shuttle route is proximate to about half of the

area.
`'�• /
The circulator element of the transit system
is designed to provide for movement of per-
sons within the Southdale area that are not
within walking distance of the regional or
. `
shuttle elements. Because of the large scale
L • _ . _ . _ . I
of the study area, not all of the residential and

employment areas will be within walking dis-
tance of each other or the retail/ commercial
LEGEND
areas. (Figure 40 illustrates the pedestrian

'
tern.) Trips between residential and employ -
Figure 40
ment areas along the periphery of the
Pedestrian Catchment Areas
Southdale area (i.e., those not adjacent to the
central Spine Street) will be beyond walking distance. The circulator element is designed to
connect these areas and effectively extend the reach of walking trips at the periphery of the
Southdale area. Alternatively, the circulator service could be provided by the "tails" of the
regional routes that access the Southdale transit center, similar to the way that service occurs
today.
The preferred routes of the transit system elements are generally illustrated in Figure 39 and Boulder
would consist of three sets of routes. The regional routes would be expected to operate on the
freeways and other regional roadways connecting to the Southdale area and would serve
transit centers or stops at the north and south ends of the Southdale area. The shuttle route
would be a linear north -south service on the central Spine Street (essentially along the exist -
Orlando
ing transit easement). The circulator route would function best along York Avenue, 66th
Street, France Avenue, and 78th Street. The circulator may more effectively operate as a
combination of fixed route service overlaid by point -to -point service along this general route.
The above routes would require related improvements to the infrastructure in the Southdale
Greater Southdale Area Public Initiatives
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 57
area. The central Spine Street would need to be constructed, either as a street for mixed
traffic or as a pedestrian /transitway (the width of which would depend upon the transit tech-
nology used). For the circulator to operate on the western side of the study area, a system of
transit priority would be needed on France Avenue to manage traffic delays and allow transit
to function effectively. Transit centers or station stops would be needed for the regional
elements at the north and south ends of the Southdale area. The location of the existing
transit center at Southdale Center would need to move north to be proximate to 66th Street
and a new facility would be needed near 78th Street to serve higher capacity service pro-
posed in the I -494 corridor. These centers /station stops would be areas where parking struc-
tures could be beneficial to support park and ride functions.
Although the regional elements would continue to operate with the big bus technology that is
used by the region's transit providers, several transit technology options are available for the
shuttle and circulator elements of the transit system. Both the shuttle and circulator could be
operated with rubber -tired coaches of varying sizes that would function on a conventional
street environment. However, the shuttle element of the system has requirements for more
frequent boarding that would dictate multiple boarding doors and a low floor on the vehicle,
which may,require specialty coaches if a rubber -tired option is chosen. Clearances under the
Galleria may limit the size of vehicles on the shuttle route. The circulator would be expected
to have wider stop spacing and would be able to use conventional small coaches. Route
branding through unique paint and /or vehicle naming schemes would reinforce the presence
of the different routes. Both Boulder, CO (Hop /Skip /Jump) and Orlando, FL (Lymmo) have
had success with this type of branding.
The shuttle element may be better served by modern streetcar technology of the type used
in the Portland, OR and Tacoma, WA systems and scheduled for the Seattle, WA system. The
modern streetcar uses a European car that is roughly 60 feet long and 8 feet wide and oper-
ates on railroad tracks. In both Portland and Tacoma, the streetcar operates on- street in
mixed traffic with boarding at curbside station stops. Portions of the Portland system operate
in off -street plazas/ pedestrian areas. Stop spacing is a maximum of 'A mile and as short as
every block. The streetcar technology provides for frequent service with fast boarding. The
key to the service frequency on the modern streetcar systems is limiting the length of the
system to 1 to 3 miles, which is consistent with the length of the shuttle element in the
Southdale area. The proposed alignment of greenway /mixed traffic streets in the Southdale
area that the shuttle would operate on is also consistent with the technology. Construction
costs for the modern street are about $50 million per mile inclusive of trackway, station stops,
overhead power, signaling and cars. Any technology other than bus would require new main-
tenance and storage facilities to be sited in the study area.
One of the main functions of the modern streetcar in both Portland and Tacoma is to encour-
age economic development along the route (both are set up to recapture the increase in value
from such development through a tax financing district). This function is compatible and
desirable along the shuttle route in the Southdale area, but less so with the circulator route,
which serves residential and employment uses on the periphery of the area. This may make
the streetcar technology less attractive for the circulator even though it would functional well
Public Initiatives Greater Southdale Area
Page 58 Land Use and Transportation Study
for the circulator.
A third technology that could function for the shuttle and /or circulator is personal rapid
transit or PRT. This technology is designed to provide point -to -point service on an elevated
trackway. The Southdale area is a sufficiently dense activity center of limited geographic scale
that PRT technology could serve the area. PRT technology is still at the prototype stage. The
elevated system would require elevated station areas, both for boarding and for PRT car
storage, which would introduce substantial vertical elements into the urban design aspects of
the street /greenway system in the Southdale area.
Transit improvements are important to the Southdale area to provide for pedestrian connec-
tivity among the land uses in the area. While nodes of activity within the Southdale area can
be designed to encourage walking, the distances between nodes is sufficiently large that people
will drive rather than walk to reach them. The shuttle and circulator elements of the transit
system are designed to extend the reach of an individual walking trip, either by allowing a
visitor to drive into the Southdale area, park once and visit multiple destinations or by allow-
ing a Southdale area resident to reach employment or shopping destinations without driving.
This concept of extending a walking trip is an important aspect of how the shuttle element
supports economic development along its route with frequent service - as people recognize
the dependability of the service, they are willing to incorporate it into their activity patterns
and ultimately end up spending more time collectively at establishments along the route.
Several steps are necessary to achieve the transit vision articulated above. One involves
developing a more detailed technical study to establish the system technologies, routes, oper-
ating patterns, costs and benefits. A second step must focus on how to fund the transit service
and what actions are needed to implement funding mechanism allowed by the existing en-
abling legislation. These actions differ between the three system elements.
The regional element relies upon available regional funding for transit, which is dependent
upon the actions of Metro Transit, the Opt -out transit providers like Southwest Metro, the
Metropolitan Council, the State Legislature, and the Federal Transit Administration. The
regional element described above is intended to reinforce existing regional transit planning
that is already focusing on the Southdale area and on the regional corridors on TH 62 and I-
494. The transit centers included in the regional element are eligible for federal funding, as
are park and ride components at the centers. Siting of the centers and capitalizing on air -
rights at these locations is something that the City can bring to the regional discussion. Simi-
larly, the City can leverage investment in the shuttle and circulator elements (see below) to
reinforce decisions about where to site the regional transit centers and how they link into the
development pattern. This level of discussion can influence how regional routes that pass
through or adjacent to the Southdale area can be reorganized to best serve the new centers.
The shuttle element lies within the area designated by the State Legislature for the City of
Edina to operate a transit system. Within this area, the City has an easement and the ability
to levy for funds for the transit system. The circulator element is only partially within the
area already established. The City should initiate an evaluation of a Special Services District
in the Southdale area to determine what the boundaries of the district need to be to support
the proposed transit elements and what the funding capacity of the district can be. This work
Greater Southdale Area Public Initiatives
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 59
will need to integrate with the technical study noted above to determine if the level of
funding needed for operating the shuttle and circulator elements is within the capacity of the
district or if other sources of capital and /or operating funds will be necessary. It is important
to note that Portland and Tacoma assembled funds from multiple non - federal sources to con-
struct and operate their streetcar systems. Both of these systems can serve as examples for
funding programs for the Southdale area.
The existing legislation that established the transit area for Edina precludes the use of rail -
based transit. If a rail -based technology is selected, the enabling legislation would need to be
modified. Although not currently in place, legislation at the federal level is moving toward
establishing a "small starts" program that would fund systems like that envisioned for the
Southdale area. Should that funding become available, the Southdale area would need to
compete for it with other parts of the country. Similarly, depending upon the type of transit
technology selected, the system in the Southdale area could be a candidate for a federal
demonstration project if the technology or the application of an existing technology is suffi-
ciently innovative.
Travel Demand Management Strategy
Incorporating a strategy for travel demand management (TDM) into the plan for the Greater
Southdale area will enhance the ability of the infrastructure in the study area to accommodate
future development. TDM programs, whether employer or district based, have been shown
to have the potential to reduce vehicle trip making by both employees and residents in the
study area. Also, use of TDM as a congestion management measure enhances the market for
both regional and local transit services in the study area. The effectiveness of TDM activities
will be strongly influenced by the approach used to implement them and the ability to imple-
ment additional transit service in the study area. The effectiveness of the TDM elements is
also affected by how early in the development process interaction occurs between the City of
Edina, other agencies and project sponsors.
The recommended strategy for the Greater Southdale Area is to implement TDM on a dis-
trict basis and link the TDM components to the benefit district that the City is empowered to
create for the transit system. Elements to be included would be development of a district
TDM coordinator position, either via the benefit district, as city staff, or via use of the exist-
ing 494 Commuter Services organization. The function of the District/ Coordinator would
be to facilitate TDM strategies in the Greater Southdale Area, which would include:
• Increasing ridesharing activities via carpooling and vanpooling
• Increasing the use of public transportation and alternate modes /choices (walking,
bicycling, telecommuting, staggered /flex work hours, compressed work weeks)
Establishing a district would provide for a focused return on investments related to TDM. The
coordinator position provides a central clearinghouse function for TDM that provides for
better outreach and accordingly, better implementation of TDM by employers. While aTDM
strategy for the study area could be entirely voluntary, the City could facilitate the strategy
by requiring TDM activities for new development, either as a policy or through implementa-
tion of an ordinance that requires TDM for projects above a threshold size.
Public Initiatives Greater Southdale Area
Page 60 Land Use and Transportation Study
Moving
Ahead
Achieving the vision for the Greater Southdale Area will be a balancing act between land use
and transportation objectives. In perfect world, the necessary transportation system is in
place before development occurs. This approach does not fit the reality of the Greater
Southdale Area.
Private investment is attracted to the Greater Southdale Area and seeks to use land with
greater intensity. This new development adds trips to the local street system and increases
existing congestion. Some enhancements to the street system have been identified (i.e. —
France /Crosstown interchange), while others (West 70'h Street) require further investiga-
tion. The combined requirements for planning, design and funding place these enhancements
years into the future. If transportation issues become an unduly restrictive limit on develop-
ment, Edina faces the risks of missed opportunities and discouraging reinvestment in the
Greater Southdale Area.
These factors make land use and transportation inextricably linked for the future of the Greater
Southdale Area. This section described a series of "additional investigations" that continues
the process of creating the transportation system required in the Greater Southdale Area.
The City should also use development proposals as a tool to achieve transportation objectives.
The private sector desired for additional density should be used as leverage for street, pedes-
trian and transit improvements. Every development project must be reviewed for its role in
the long -term transportation "plan" for the Area:
• Sidewalks and trails
• Pedestrian street crossings
• Transit corridor, stops and hubs
• Spine street corridor
This section outlines next steps for moving ahead in addressing the land use and transporta-
tion needs of the Greater Southdale Area.
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
The evolution and change of the Greater Southdale Area over the next 10 to 20 years will be
guided and regulated by the Edina's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Both of
these documents need to be modified to reflect the strategies and directions offered in this
report. The following is an overview of the planning and zoning implications of the Study.
Comprehensive Plan
By 2008, the city of Edina like all Twin Cities metro area communities will need to complete
an update of its Comprehensive Plan. The land use component of the Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study doesn't represent a radical departure from the current
land use designations, however, it does differ in a number of areas. The Greater Southdale
Area Land use and Transportation Study is expected to define future land use for the Southdale
Area. Accordingly, the land use component of the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update
should include the Future Land Use Plan contained within this document.

Zoning
Zoning regulations found in City Code Section 850 control land use. The Current Zoning map
(Figure 41) shows the current zoning designation for parcels in the Study Area. The following
list provides a description of the principal uses allowed in each zoning district found in the
Study Area.
• Single Dwelling Unit District (R -1). Buildings containing not more than one dwell-
ing unit. Publicly owned parks, playgrounds and athletic facilities. Publicly and pri-
vately owned golf courses, but not including driving ranges or miniature golf courses
as a principal use.
• Double Dwelling Unit District (R -2). Buildings containing two dwelling units.
• Planned Residential District - 3 (PRD -3). All residential buildings. Also day care
facilities licensed by the State.
• Planned Residential District - 4 (PRD -4). All residential buildings. Also day care
facilities licensed by the State.
• Planned Residential District - 5 (PRD -5). Rest homes, convalescent homes and
nursing homes.
• Planned Senior Residential District - 4 (PDR -4). Buildings containing 4 or more
dwelling units, all but one of which are senior citizen dwelling units.
• Planned Commercial District - 2 (PCD -2). Commercial uses permitted in the PCD-
• district which include smaller, neighborhood convenience type businesses and of-
fices generally less than 2 stories and with a floor area ratio under 1.0. Permitted
uses in the PCD -2 district are allowed to be larger with a maximum building height
the lesser of 4 stories or 50 feet and a floor area ration under 1.5. Some example uses
include recreation establishments, animal hospitals and kennels, department stores
under 40,000 square feet, furniture stores, hotels and motels, laboratories, post of-
fices, theaters and funeral homes.
• Planned Commercial District - 3 (PCD -3). General commercial uses permitted in
the PCD -1 and PCD -2 districts as well as automobile agencies selling or displaying
new, unused vehicles; boat or marine stores selling or displaying new, unused boats;
department stores or shopping centers exceeding 40,000 square feet of gross floor
area; and sexually oriented businesses.
• Planned Commercial District - 4 (PCD -4). Automobile service centers. Car washes.
Gas stations.
• Planned Office District - 1 (POD -1). Business and professional offices. Financial
institutions including drive - through facilities. Post offices. Clubs, lodge halls and non-
profit organizations, excluding those providing beverage services in the building or
lot. Medical and dental offices and clinics. Employment agencies. Travel bureaus. Day
care. Public or private colleges, universities or schools. Facilities for athletic, health
or weight control purposes.
Greater Southdale Area Moving Ahead
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 63
• Planned Office District - 2 (POD -2). Same as Planned Office District - 1. Differ-
ence between districts is that POD -1 is limited in height to the lesser of 4 stories or
50 feet, whereas POD -2 has no height maximum except as determined by setbacks.
• Regional Medical District. Hospitals. Medical and dental offices and clinics. Labora-
tories performing medical or dental research, diagnostic testing, analytical or clinical
work, having a direct relationship to the providing of health services. Laboratories
engaged in the production or manufacturing of goods or products for commercial sale
or distribution are not included.
• Planned Industrial District. Principal uses allowed in the Planned Office District as
well as manufacturing, processing, assembly, packaging and warehousing. Scientific
research, investigation, testing or experimentation. Office equipment showrooms or
repair services. Printing shops. Businesses that provide a service on the customer's
property such as a contractor.
• Automobile Parking District. Parking lots. Drive- through banking facilities.
• Mixed Development District - 5 (MDD -5). Buildings containing not fewer than 10
dwelling units or senior citizen dwelling units. Publicly owned or operated civic,
parking, cultural institutions, park or recreational facilities. Offices. Financial institu-
tions. Suite Hotels. Day Care.
• Mixed Development District - 6 (MDD -6). All principal uses in MDD -5 plus health
and athletic clubs; department stores or shopping centers greater than 40,000 square
feet; and uses in PCD -1 and PCD -2 subdistricts except animal hospitals and kennels,
automotive accessory shops, clubs and lodge halls, exterminating offices, undertaking
and funeral home establishments.
A substantial portion of the Study Area is either zoned in the Planned Commercial category
or the Mixed Development category. Both of these categories include a wide range of per-
mitted, accessory and conditional uses, most of which fit the long term direction of the plan
and some that are inconsistent.
After approval of the Greater Southdale Area Land Use and Transportation Study, a detailed
comparison of the current Zoning Code and the land use direction provided in the Study
needs to be accomplished. Two specific areas need to be addressed. First, a careful review of
allowable uses in each zone needs to be completed. In some cases, the existing list of uses is
either too broad or doesn't adequately address high density residential uses as a permitted
use. For example, in the Planned Commercial District - 3 (PCD -3), drive - through facilities
are allowed as accessory uses. Drive - through uses would be inconsistent with the intent of
the Central Spine District although they could continue in other geographic districts of the
study area.
In a similar way, the southeast quadrant of the Central Spine District is slated for future high
density housing. The site containing the existing Yorktown Fashion Mall which is located in
this area could only contain housing as a conditional use over a principal commercial use. In
order to allow only housing in this area, the subject land would either need to be rezoned or
housing would need to be added as a permitted use in the zone. The former approach in this
Moving Ahead Greater Southdale Area
Page 64 Land Use and Transportation Study
case would likely be the most effective since it would not broadly open the PCD -3 district to
housing as a principal use.
The second area of the code that should be reviewed concerns height limitations. The Southdale
Area will continue to see proposals for added building height because of high property values.
At the present time, the Zoning Code limits height in the PCD -3 district through building
setbacks. Setbacks are generally required to be either 50 feet or the height of the building,
whichever is greater. These setback limitations are certain to result in variance requests for
taller buildings. An examination of the relationship between allowable building height and
stipulated setbacks needs to be conducted to reduce or eliminate standards that create vari-
ances in areas where added building height is deemed appropriate.
Maximum floor area ratios (FAR) for various zoning classifications should also be reviewed.
FARs for uses in the Planned Commercial District, Planned Office District, Planned Residen-
tial District, Planned Senior Residential District and Planned Medical District generally range
from .3 to I.S. It is likely that these FARs will need to be adjusted upward in some cases to
accommodate a scale of development appropriate for the Southdale Area.
Financial Tool Box
Previous public development initiatives in the Greater Southdale Area were funded with tax
increment financing (TIF). This tool allowed the City to capture the property tax revenues
from new development and use these monies to pay for public improvements and develop-
ment activities. Tax increment financing is not likely to play a role in facilitating public
objectives in the Area. At this point, the elements needed to establish a TIF district (i.e. -
structurally substandard buildings) do not appear to be present at key development locations.
The inability to use TIF does not mean that Edina lacks the financial resources. Special service
districts and tax abatement will be keys to making the public investments identified in this
study. This section discusses the applications and issues for the use of the finance tools in the
Greater Southdale Area
Special Service District
A special service district has the capacity to finance any of the public improvements planned
for the Greater Southdale Area. In simplest terms, a special service district is a special taxing
district. It allows a city to collect money to support services and improvements in commer-
cial areas.
Statutory Authority
Edina has the unique ability to draw on two forms of special service district authority. The
City can use the general statutory authority in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 428A. Edina has
also received special legislation for a special service district related to a transit system.
The special legislation for a transit system (Minnesota Law 1989, Chapter 241) special service
district in Edina contains several important stipulations:
• The transit system cannot operate on fixed rails.
• The system can operate in an area bound by the Crosstown /CSAH 62 (north), High-
Greater Southdale Area Moving Ahead
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 65
Moving Ahead
Page 66
way 100 (west), and the city limits (south and east).
• In addition to the acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of a public
transit system, this special service district can be used to provide "any other service
provided by the city authorized by any law."
• The legislation can be used to establish only one district. This authority does not
preclude the creation of other special service districts under general state law.
• The service charge may be imposed on the property and improvements of Fairview
Southdale Hospital.
All other aspects of the transit system special service district are governed by Chapter 428A.
Potential Uses
The general statutory authority contains few limits on the potential uses of special service
districts. The nature of the improvements that can be funded with a special service district
are not defined (or limited) by statute. The special service district cannot be used to finance
services that the City provides through the general fund throughout Edina, unless the ser-
vices are provided at a higher level. The statute does not impose any other limitation on the
nature of services.
Under the combined special service district authority, the potential applications in the Greater
Southdale Area include:
• Construction and operation of the internal transit system.
• Construction of the spine street.
• Construction and maintenance of public amenities, including streetscape and public
open space.
• Construction of sidewalks, trails, bridges and other improvements to enhance pedes-
trian movement.
• Construction and maintenance of public parking facilities.
Other services and improvements can be undertaken and financed by a special service dis-
trict if authorized by the enabling ordinance.
Process
The process of creating special service district and authorizing the collection of service charges
is different from other public finance tools. The use of a special service district requires a
collaboration of property owners and the city. The process to create a district and to levy
taxes must be initiated by petition of property owners and is subject to owner veto.
There are two separate steps in the process: (1) adoption of an ordinance establishing the
service district and (2) adoption of a resolution imposing the service charges. Neither step
can be initiated by the City.
The City must receive a petition to undertake the processes to create the special service
district alld to impose service charges. At a minimum, the petition must be signed by owners
representing 25% of the area that would be included in the district and 25% of the tax capac-
ity subject to the service charge.
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
The actions of the City Council to adopt the ordinance and the resolution are subject to veto
by property owners. To veto the ordinance or the resolution, objections must be filed with
the City Clerk within 45 days of initial City Council action to approve. The objections must
exceed 35% of area, tax capacity, or individual /business organizations in the proposed dis-
trict. The specific veto requirements depend on the nature of the service charge.
Service Charge
Although the special service district functions like a taxing district, the revenue source is
called a "service charge ". The service charge may be imposed on any basis that is acceptable
to the City and the property owners. A service charge can function like a property tax, based
on tax capacity value of the parcel. Other common means of allocating costs include lot
frontage and lot area. This flexibility is an asset in creating funding plans that spread the costs
of improvements and services over a broad area.
The service charge applies solely to non - residential property. State law limits the application
of a service charge only to property that is classified for property taxation and used for
commercial, industrial, or public utility purposes, or is vacant land zoned or designated on a
land use plan for commercial or industrial use. Other types of property may be part of the
service district, but may not be subject to the service charge.
Bonds
The special service district statute also includes the ability to issue bonds to finance improve-
ment costs. The bonds must be supported "primarily" from revenues produces by the
service charge. The may also use special assessments and any other legally available nontax
revenue to pay debt service. This provision suggests that if nontax revenues are the "pri-
mary" source of revenue to pay debt service, then a general property tax may be applied.
This approach is similar to the application of property taxes to 429 improvement bonds when
less than 100% of the costs are assessed. The bonds may be general obligations. The bonds
may be issued without an election and are not subject to any debt limit.
Challenge of Mixed Use Development
The inability to create mixed use special service district poses a challenge for creating an
equitable funding plan. Some existing housing in the Greater Southdale Area will benefit
from the ability to use an internal transit system. As evidenced by the plans for redevelop-
ment of the Centennial Lakes Theater site, future development is likely to be mixture of
housing and commercial uses. Neither the special nor general forms of special service dis-
trict allow service charges to be levied against residential property.
There have been some discussions about revising the special service district statutes to allow
for residential property to petition to be included in the district and subject to the service
charge. This change would enhance the use of this tool in the Greater Southdale Area. To
date, one group has been willing to carry this legislation.
A hybrid option is to use both a special service district and a housing improvement area. The
housing improvement area is a similar form of special taxing district. Housing improvement
areas apply only to owned housing. None of the existing special taxing district alternatives
include rental housing.
Greater Southdale Area Moving Ahead
Land Use and Transportation Study Page 67
Moving Ahead
Page 68
The housing improvement area statute contains broad language about the nature of eligible
improvements. Housing improvements are defined by the city's enabling ordinance. This
definition does not preclude any of the improvements called for in this study.
The application of the housing improvement area for services is less clear. Unlike the special
service district, the housing improvement area statutes do not specifically authorized an area
to pay for services rendered to housing units.
Using the Special Service District
Additional planning and analysis for the use special service districts in the Greater Southdale
Area should be performed in conjunction with work on the related public improvements.
Specific steps for the use of special service districts include:
1. Determine the boundaries of the special service district for the transit system.
2. Evaluate the ability to obtain special or general legislative authority for a mixed use
special service district.
3. Explore the need to use the special service district to finance other improvements
and services in the Greater Southdale Area.
4. Evaluate options for allocating the costs of improvements and services.
S. Determine if the needs of the Greater Southdale Area can best be met through a
single or multiple districts.
Tax Abatement
Although tax increment financing is not likely to play a role in funding improvements in the
Greater Southdale Area, tax abatement offers a valuable replacement. The name "tax abate-
ment" is misleading. No taxes are abated using this tool. In reality, tax abatement functions
similar to TIF. Each taxing jurisdiction (city, county, school district) has the ability to levy a
property tax equivalent to taxes paid by a parcel of property. The proceeds of this levy can be
used to finance the public improvements proposed for the Greater Southdale Area. This
section highlights the use of tax abatement.
Funding Capacity
Several factors influence the capacity of tax abatement to provide funding to undertake in-
vestments in the Greater Southdale Area.
Amount of Abatement
The use of tax abatement involves decisions to capture tax revenues from a series of redevel-
opment projects. The amount of the abatement depends on both the nature of the develop-
ment and the approach to abatement. The options for abatement include:
• The abatement can be based on all or part of the valuation of a parcel.
• The abatement can apply solely to the new value produced by improvements. In this
approach, tax abatement functions similar to tax increment financing.
• An abatement levy can account for existing property values. In tax increment financ-
ing, this value forms the base value of the TIF district and is not captured. Since no
new value is created, this approach acts like a new property tax for any other pur-
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
pose.
• An abatement levy could be applied to property valuation as it comes out of an
existing TIF district. In practical terms, this approach extends the use of this valua-
tion for community development purposes.
The abatement may last for a maximum of 20 years if not all taxing jurisdictions agree to
grant an abatement. Property subject to tax abatement cannot be located in a TIF district.
City /County Collaboration
The use of tax abatement provides an opportunity for continued city and county collaboration
in Greater Southdale Area. Each jurisdiction makes an independent decision on the use of tax
abatement.
Maximum Abatement
The total tax abatement in any year may not exceed 10% of the current levy. Based on Edina's
proposed levy for taxes payable 2006, the annual cap is $2,082,000. This annual revenue
equates to a funding capacity of approximately $26,000,000 (20 years of debt payment at an
average interest rate of 5.00 %).
Bonds
It is likely that tax abatement revenues would be used to support bonds issued to finance
public initiatives, such as the central spine street. Careful planning will be needed the type
and structure of debt needed to make these investments.
Abatement Bonds
The statutes governing tax abatement authorize the issuance of tax abatement bonds. Two
parts of this statute are particularly important in evaluating the use of these bonds:
The maximum principal amount of these bonds may not exceed the estimated sum of
the abatements for the property for the years authorized. This limitation may not fit
the reality of use in the Greater Southdale Area. All abatements may not be known
at the time of issuance. The result would be less debt capacity than needed.
The statute limits the use of these bonds. The proceeds may be used to (l) pay for
public improvements that benefit the property, (2) to acquire and convey land or
other property, as provided under this section, (3) to reimburse the property owner
for the cost of improvements made to the property, or (4) to pay the costs of issuance
of the bonds.
Other Debt Options
Given the constraints of abatement bonds, the city may look for other options to finance
needed investments. Improvement bonds and special service district bonds provide alterna-
tive tools for financing public improvements. Revenue from abatement levies would be used
to pay debt service on these bonds.

Additional Investigations
From the beginning, the scope of the Greater Southdale Area Land Use and Transportation
Study was limited to defining a general growth strategy for the project area. The growth
strategy is intended to guide private investment and focus public investment in manner this is
supportive of private initiatives. Accordingly, it was anticipated from its inception that this
planning effort would result in a number of subsequent investigations and actions that would
be necessary to position the City to direct and react to change in the Southdale Area.
The following additional investigations are recommended based on information developed
during the completion of this study.
West 70th Street
From the west, West 70`h Street is a primary entrance into the Southdale Area. Because of the
interchange atTH 100, this route will continue to be a primary means of access. For most of
its length, West 70' Street between TH 100 and France Avenue is a two lane road flanked by
single - family land uses with numerous driveway cuts along the route. In its current configu-
ration, it poses significant limitations on traffic movements and it directly impacts the quality
of life for residents along the corridor.
A follow -up effort is needed to examine West 70`' Street and to define its future form and
function. The follow -up effort should generally include an examination of alternative accesses
to the Southdale Area from the west, reconfiguration of West 70`s Street and substantial land
use changes along the corridor.
France Avenue, North of the Crosstown
France Avenue, north of the Crosstown presents a similar situation to West 70th Street. From
the north, this segment of France Avenue links the 50`x' and France commercial area with the
Southdale Area. The width of the existing roadway is inadequate to comfortably accommo-
date four lanes of traffic. The adjacent land use pattern consists of single- family and two
family residences with numerous driveways along the corridor.
A similar follow -up effort to that described above for West 70`s Street needs to be completed
for France Avenue. Traffic volumes and noise impacts have had an influence on property
owner's willingness to maintain and improve their properties. Maintaining the northern
portion of France Avenue as a functional gateway to the Southdale Area as well as maintain-
ing /enhancing the appearance of the corridor is important to the greater Edina community.
Redevelopment of Pentagon Park - Connection along West 771h Street
Pentagon Park which is a predominately office development alongTH 100 between 771h Street
and I -494 has been discussed as a redevelopment site. Between Pentagon Park and the greater
Southdale Area along 77' Street, a significant employment base exists with the potential for
additional business infill and redevelopment.
Follow -up efforts need to consider the current future potential of this area for development
and redevelopment in order to define a stronger link between the area and the greater
Southdale area. Extension of the Southdale transit system to serve this area appears to be a
Moving Ahead Greater Southdale Area
Page 70 Land Use and Transportation Study
logical connecting link but stronger visual and functional links may be possible through subse-
quent land use planning and design efforts.
Crosstown 62 1France Avenue Interchange
The transportation sections of this report discuss the capacity and design restrictions posed by
the existing Crosstown 62 /France Avenue interchange. Follow -up efforts involving MN/
DOT and Hennepin County need to be initiated to define a strategy for the design and funding
of the reconstruction of the interchange.
Design Guidelines for the Central Spine District
The Initiative section of this Study provides an overview of the Central Spine District with
general recommendations on streetscape, built form, parking and pedestrian circulation. A
more detailed level of information will be needed for this area. It is suggested that the City
initiate the assembly of design guidelines for the area addressing the public realm and private
improvements. Regarding private improvements, the standards should address required
setbacks, acceptable materials, appropriate building forms and mass and building height.

The Study Area falls into both the Edina and Richfield School
Districts. Figure A 1 illustrates the boundaries of the school
districts in the Area.
Year Structure Built
The City of Edina and Hennepin County have built geo-
graphic information systems (GIS). GIS contains informa-
tion connected to property at the parcel level. Maps using
GIS parcel data may create some odd looking locations where
the site consists of a series of property parcels. For example,
the block containing Southdale Shopping Center contains nine
parcels.

One element of GIS is the year built for the current struc-
ture on each parcel. The map in Figure A2 illustrates the
relative age of development in and around the Study Area.

Community Demographics
The nature of Edina influences land use and transportation in the Greater Southdale Area.
• Edina residents create demand for goods and services in the Area.
• Edina residents contribute to the employment pool for Area business.
• Edina residents influence the demand for housing.
This memorandum describes demographic characteristics of Edina using information from
the U.S. Census. (Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this memorandum refers
to the 2000 Census). In preparation for the Futures Workshop we would like you to think
about how these characteristics will appear in the 2030 Census. How will Edina be different
and the same? What do the changes suggest for the Southdale Area?
Age
Edina is an older community. The median age of the Edina residents is 44.5 years. This age is
substantially higher than medians for Hennepin County (34.9), the Twin Cities region (34.4)
and the entire state ( 35.4). The charts in Figures Al 2 and Al 3 compare the age distribution of
Edina's population with the County and the region.
Edina's population grew by almost 3% from 1990 (46,070) to 2000 (47,425). The population
age 45 and older increased by 2,306 while the 19/20 to 44 group lost 2,035 people (see
Figure A14).

Length of Residency
The Census does not measure the length of time lived in a particular municipality. The
closest statistic is the year moved into the housing unit occupied at the time of the Census.
Almost 60% of householder lived in the same unit for less than 10 years. This movement is
slightly below levels for the County and the region (see Figure A15).
The Census also asks where people lived five years ago (1995). Over 62% of Edina residents
lived in the same house (see Figure A16). People moving into Edina tended to come from
Hennepin County (the Census does not distinguish movement within Edina). Less than 10%
of the population lived outside of Minnesota in 1995.

The Census asks people about the method of travelling to work. Over 81 % of Edina workers
drove alone to work. Only 4% reported using some means of public transportation. Seven
percent of employed residents worked at home, a slightly larger share than shown by the
County and the region.
Another aspect of employment is the number of people working in Edina. The Census tracks
this information through the place of employment. A total of 45,516 people reported Edina

residents. Thirteen percent (13 %) of these workers live in Edina. Over 40% of people
working in Edina lived in adjacent cities. Only 4% lived in a county outside of the seven -
county metropolitan area.
Households
The number of households in Edina increased from 1990 (19,860) to 2000 (20,996). This
growth occurred in the number of "nominally" households, primarily people living alone.
Households in Edina tend to be smaller when compared with the County and region. The
average household in Edina contained 2.24 people. This compares with 2.39 for Hennepin
County and 2.56 for the Twin Cities region. Households living in owned housing tend to be
larger (2.42 persons) than in rental housing (1.66 persons).
Housing
Single- family detached dwellings are the primary housing type in Edina (over 57% all hous-
ing). Edina also contains a large supply (33% of total) of multiple family housing with struc-
tures containing ten or more dwelling units. The total number of housing units increased by
3% from 1990 (20,983) to 2000 (21,655).
The amount of owner occupied single family housing is comparable with the County and the
region (Figure A28). Edina has a larger stock of larger multi- family structures. The chart in
Figure A29 shows the distribution of population among housing types. Over 88% of Edina's
population lives in either single family detached or larger multi- family housing.

Market Conditions and Issues
This memorandum presents preliminary overviews of market conditions and emerging fac-
tors and issues in the Southdale Corridor. These overviews are intended to provide a market -
based perspective on the planning process and elicit discussion regarding future planning and
development concepts for the Corridor. The overviews discuss general conditions and emerging
trends /issues for retail, office, lodging and residential markets.
Retail Market Overview
General Conditions
The Southdale Center mall and other retail properties have contributed significantly to Edina's
reputation as one of the Twin Cities' prestigious locations. At this time, different sources hold
varying opinions regarding Southdale Center's position among the metropolitan area's re-
gional malls. Most local experts agree, however, that the general Southdale corridor contin-
ues to maintain it's position as the metro area's premier retail destination. The area derives
this status from:
1. The local demographic profile;
2. General reputation; and
3. A recognized concentration of high -end stores, particularly in the furnishings cat-
egory.
Major retail centers in the corridor include Southdale Center, the Galleria, Yorktown Mall,
Yorkdale Shoppes, Centennial Lakes Plaza and freestanding stores such as Best Buy, Target and
Marshall Field's Home Store. The Southdale Center and Galleria represent the largest and
most prestigious of these.
Southdale Center currently reports vacancy rates of 18 percent. These are concentrated
primarily in its basement -level and its 3rd -floor; management is planning a fitness/ wellness
center for parts of this vacant space.
At this time, Southdale Center's primary com-
petitors include the Mall ofAmerica, Ridgedale
Center, and Eden Prairie Center. These prop-
erties all contain more than 1 million square
feet of leasable space, and command net lease
rates typically ranging from $30 to $50 per
square foot and up to $100 per square foot at
the high end (as high as $150 at the Mall of
America).

America derives much of its business from visi- Figure A33
tors and does not compete for Southdale's core Southdale Center and Primary Competitors
markets in Edina, southwest Minneapolis and
the western parts of Richfield and Bloomington. Despite this, recent surveys show that,
among Southdale shoppers, the largest percentage (71 percent) had also shopped at the Mall
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportation Study
of America within the prior 90 -day period; the next largest "cross- shopping" location was
Eden Prairie Center, at 35 percent.
The Galleria occupies a slightly different niche, with greater emphases on local retailers,
high -end stores, and categories such as arts and furnishings. The Galleria maintains occupancy
rates in the mid -90 percent range, with lease rates ranging from $30 to $45 per square foot
on a net basis.
Emerging Factors and Issues
Recent Events: A number of events have changed retail outlooks for the Corridor. These
include:
1. Edina's removals of prohibitions on the serving of beer and wine (1996) and hard
liquor (2002). These actions have opened new opportunities for eating and drinldng
establishments in this strong market.
2. The development in the 1990s of the various residential and office uses in the corri-
dor, most notably the Centennial Lakes office park, which provides a critical mass of
daytime traffic within walking distance of the corridor's shopping centers.
3. Recent sale by the Target Corporation of its Marshall Field's brand and Twin Cities -
based Mervyn's stores will change the management and profile of at least some stores
at Southdale as well as at competitive regional malls.
Demographic Profiles: Among its primary competitors, the following table shows that while
Southdale still draws upon the largest market, median household incomes in the Eden Prairie
Center market in particular as well as in the Ridgedale market exceed those in the Southdale
market.

Shifting Suburban Growth Patterns; In addi-
tion to the existing markets around Ridgedale
and Eden Prairie Center, as suburban growth
continues to radiate outward, the outlying
communities to the west and southwest fea-
ture higher socio- economic profiles than those
in the south. These communities to the west
and southwest are more convenient to the Eden
Prairie Center and Ridgedale than to Southdale
or the Mall of America. Among these 'sec-
ond -ring suburban communities, the Metro-
politan Council forecasts the fastest growth in
the southwestern communities of Savage,
Shakopee, Prior Lake, Chaska and Chanhassen. Figure A35
2000 Wealth Indicator Comparisons, Selected
New development planned at the Mall of Outlying Cities
America is likely to include more than 800,000
square feet of retail/ restaurant space as well as office, hotel and entertainment- related com-
ponents. While specific configurations and tenant profiles are unknown, this development
may offer additional competition with businesses in the Southdale corridor.
Edina still offers potential opportunities for additional retailers and development formats,
which may include additional "big box" retailers, eating and drinking businesses, entertain-
ment venues and others.
Office Market Overview

may offer additional competition with businesses in the Southdale corridor.
Edina still offers potential opportunities for additional retailers and development formats,
which may include additional "big box" retailers, eating and drinking businesses, entertain-
ment venues and others.
Office Market Overview
General Conditions
The Southdale Corridor is set within the south-
west suburban office market. This comprises
the largest suburban office market in the Twin
Cities, with the metropolitan area's primary
concentrations of high -end suburban office
space.
Trends in the southwest office market conform
to those of the overall Twin Cities office mar-
ket In the overall market vacancy rates have
climbed from a range of 6�to 7 percent in the Figure A36
Major Office Submarkets
late 1990s to approximately IS to 20 percent
today. As vacancies increased, lease rates fell, from late 1990s levels in excess of $ 20 per
square foot at some properties to a general range of $12 to $16 for typical Class -A space. In
recent months, however, the market has achieved positive absorption, and vacancy rates have
stabilized.
The Twin Cities office market has been driven by growth in professional employment, which
has been increasingly concentrated in service industries such as information, financial activi-
ties, professional /business services and health care. As shown below, these have accounted

The Southdale Corridor itself contains an estimated 2.5 million square feet of office space
(Welsh Companies). This inventory includes:
The Centennial Lakes office park, containing a total of approximately 820,000 square
feet in five buildings. Built in the late 1990s, this is one of the high -end suburban
office parks in the metropolitan area, with net (asking) lease rates ranging from $15
to $19 per square foot. While one of these buildings sustains a 32 percent vacancy
rate, the other four buildings maintain occupancy rates in the mid- to high 90 percent
range.

2. Medical office space clustered around Fairview Hospital (830,000 square feet).
3. Buildings along the west side of France Avenue (540,000 sq. ft.) and
4. Additional buildings containing approximately 340,000 square feet.
Tenants in general office (excluding medical) buildings professional service providers involved
in fields such as financial services, real estate, insurance, advertising, software development,
consulting, and other such industries. Brokers and property managers report that the Southdale
and southwest suburban market tenancies are driven by growing businesses and new busi-
nesses from within the existing market, with very little interaction with the downtown
Minneapolis market.
Emerging Factors and Issues
Suburban office submarkets will continue to seek proximity to I -494 and other locations along
the regional freeway system. Potential areas for new Class -A office development include
locations to the east of the Mall of America and along the Highway 610 Corridor in the
northern part of the metropolitan area.
Health Care Industry Growth: Health care represents the largest, fastest - growing, and most
consistently - growing industry sector in Hennepin County. This growth has driven new medi-
cal office development in the Corridor and directly south of the Corridor. Ongoing growth
in this industry will be fueled by (1) an aging population, (2) the Corridor's status as a major
medical center, and (3) the emergence of new medical technologies and practices (e.g.,
bariatrics, lasik eye surgery). These factors are likely to drive ongoing growth in demand for
medical and other health care- related developments in the Corridor.
Office Building Intensity: Edina development regulations limit the permissible volume of
commercial office development to a .5 floor -to -area (FAR) ratio. This limits the intensity of
development use. Under this limitation, many developers of major Class -A projects may find
it difficult to build recognizable - and typically larger and /or taller - buildings (with covered
parking), and may seek alternative locations.
Lodging Market Overview
General Conditions
Through 2003, the Twin Cities lodging mar-
ket, like that in most areas, has encountered
declining occupancy rates, average daily rates
(ADR) and revenues -per available room
(RevPAR) since reaching peak levels in 2000.
As of mid -year 2004, however, performances
have improved over mid -year 2003 levels, and
industry experts foresee improved market
conditions in the short -term future.

Figure A41
Metropolitan Area Lodging Indicators
Within the metropolitan area, the I -494 corridor features a major concentration of lodging
facilities.
The Southdale Corridor offers a strong location for lodging. The area's assets include its
Greater Southdale Area
Land Use and Transportatlon Study
Appendix A
Page A -21
direct access to:
1. I -494, which connects the area to the Minneapolis -St. Paul Airport, as well as High-
way 62;
2. High -end office space;
3. The Fairview Southdale hospital;
4. Services and amenities such as restaurants, high -end retail shopping and the Centen-
nial Lakes Park.
Despite this array of assets, the entire City of Edina contains just one lodging facility. A
number of historical factors account for this:
1. The Corridor is not directly contiguous to I -494; sites located within the Bloomington
city limits offer the most immediate access and visibility to the highway.
2. Prior to 1996, Edina did not allow liquor service in restaurants; prior to 2002, per-
missible liquor service allowed only beer and wine. Consequently, no full- service
lodging facility would find Edina suitable.
3. Prior to 1997, Edina did not contain high -end office properties, placing the Corridor
at a relative disadvantage relative to locations closer to business concentrations such
as the Normandale Lakes or Opus office parks.

494 Lodging Segment
Focusing on the market in the I -494 corridor, lodging performances are similar to those in the
overall Twin Cities market.
This I -494 market segment contains primarily mid- priced properties. Higher -end full -ser-
vice properties in the southwestern portion of the metropolitan area include the Marriott
Southwest, Hotel Sofitel and Sheraton. In general, the entire Twin Cities metro area contains
no five - diamond -rated hotels and just four four - diamond properties.' While the upscale sub-
urban market has declined along with the overall lodging market in recent years, no new
inventory has been added to this niche in recent years, and the Corridor may offer a suitable
location for this type of development.

Southwest Suburban High -End Lodging Performance
Emerging Factors and Issues
Improving Conditions: As of mid -year 2004, both the mid - priced 494 corridor and the up-
scale market segments have delivered improved performances over 2003 levels. The former
niche has increased its RevPAR by 11 percent over 2003; the latter has improved by 4 per-
cent. The greater improvement among mid - priced properties may reflect their greater
ability to attract families and weekend leisure travelers visiting friends as well as attractions
such as the Mall of America.
New development adjacent to the Mall of America is likely to include up to three new hotels
containing more than 800 rooms. Of these, a 304 -room property with an attached indoor
waterpark is currently under construction; the other two are also likely to feature waterparks.
Recent events have enhanced lodging development advantages in the Southdale Corridor.
These include Edina's removal of prohibitions on the serving of liquor, as well as the develop-
ment of high -end office uses at Centennial Lakes office park.
Residential Market Overview
General Conditions
Growth will focus on upper - income empty nester households. Under prevailing conditions,
absent new property for new development or redevelopment, demographic projections show
negative growth for Edina households. Notwithstanding the overall projection, the table
below shows that upper - income households, particularly in the empty nester and senior age
brackets, will increase. This cohort has provided the primary target market for various
townhouse and attached housing formats in the Twin Cities.
Future growth: In 2009 householders age 45 to 54 will represent Edina's largest household
age group. As this group moves into the empty nester category in subsequent years, it will
provide continued market support for attached housing products.
The Twin Cities apartment market features an overall vacancy rate of 7.4 percent (GVA
Marquette Advisors). Vacancies are considerably higher, however, in the highest rent tiers,
exceeding 10 percent where monthly rents exceed $1,300, and approaching 13 percent where
Greater Southdale Area Appendix A
Land Use and Transportation Study Page A -23
Figure A44
Household Age By Income Group: Edina, 2004 -2009
rents exceed $ 1,500. Vacancies at new properties (built since 1999) are even higher, at 17.1
percent.

percent.

Page A -24 Land Use and Transportation Study
New rental apartment development in Edina and the Southdale corridor has been limited;
the 100 -unit Cornelia Place apartment property represents the only substantial development
in recent years. Cornelia Place occupies one of the highest rent tiers in the Twin Cities.
Monthly rents range from roughly $1,300 to $1,400 for one - bedroom units and from $1,600-
$2,300 for two - bedroom units. The property's extensive amenities include heated parking
spaces, fitness center, meeting rooms, car wash and unit features such as 9' ceilings, ceramic
file finishes, granite countertops, built -in glass cabinets, in -unit washer /dryers and walk -in
closets. Open approximately one year, the property maintains an 85 percent occupancy rate.
Other major rental properties in and around the corridor include The Durham, York Plaza,
Edina Towers and Cedars of Edina. None of these were built within the last twenty years.
Among these, the Durham and Edina Towers achieve rents of $900 to $1,500 for one- and
two - bedroom units; the other properties occupy a lower rent tier. All of these properties
report occupancy rates in the 90 percent range, and most (including Cornelia Place) report
that empty nesters and retirees comprise their largest resident components.
Condominium properties (non- age- restricted) in the Southdale Corridor include the
Edinborough, Village Homes and Coventry developments. These occupy three different price
tiers. At the low end, Edinborough's small (less than 1,000 square feet) units are priced at
roughly $200,000. At the high end, Coventry, located adjacent to Centennial Lakes Park,
offers larger (e.g., 3,000 square feet) and more upscale townhouse units, generally priced
above $500,000. Brokers report that the strongest source of demand for these properties
include empty nester households as well as some younger singles and couples.
Emerging Factors and Issues
Suburban condominium products have increasingly gained acceptance in'the regional market.
Townhouse properties such as those in the Corridor have achieved successful absorptions and
strong price appreciation, and recent midrise developments with multi- family configurations
have proven successful. In the latter category, successful marketing of projects such as
Grandview Square (Edina), Marketplace Lofts (Hopkins), Excelsior and Grand (St. Louis
Park), City Bella (Richfield) and Cloud 9 (Minnetonka) demonstrate the market's acceptance
of such products.
Both for both condominiums and rental apartments, recent suburban projects have encoun-
tered market resistance in the higher price tiers; the depth of these market tiers may be
limited.
Transportation Appendix
Study Area Trip Generation
Figure A45 shows the relative magnitude of trip generation from the Greater Southdale
study area for the weekday evening commute peak hour for the land uses that currently exist
in the area. Evaluation of this trip generation in relation to traffic volumes on the study area
street system indicates that trips with one or both ends in the study area account for the
majority of travel on the non - freeway street network in the study area. Of these trips
approximately 10% would be expected to have both ends in the study area (local trips), while
90% of them would be coming into the study area (for work or shopping) or leaving the study

area (residents going to /from work/ shop). Because of the proportionately larger amount of
retail in the study area in relation to other uses, the direction of travel in the study area is
biased toward outbound or away from the study area in the evening peak. This bias results in
an imbalance in traffic flow that places more pressure on the capacity on the outbound side of
roadways (e.g. southbound France Avenue at I -494, northbound France atTH 62).
