This method of meter reading collection has become out dated due to a variety of reasons such as utilization of cell phones in lieu of land lines, digital lines through cable service and increased line draws. As a result of phone read failures and our current radio read issues (wiring disconnected during remodels, failures in splices, etc.) resulted in the water department experiencing a high percentage of no reads. Due to the installation of approximately 275 new meters this year and the high "no read" issues, City staff decided to explore the latest technology available and solicit price proposals. With the assistance of TKDA, staff invited three vendors to present their systems and price proposals. After careful review of all proposals, the staff recommends purchase of the Neptune system based on the following points: 1) Meter noise; the City has received numerous complaints with regards to meter noise. Neptune meters are configured without internal mechanical parts thus eliminating ticking noise issues. 2) Installation; No labor costs related to installation. Entire unit is self contained. 3) Wiring; Neptune Meters do not require external wiring. This will remedy issues related to wire related failures. 4) Meter Reading; Our current radio system causes the reader to have to stop, input each location and wait for the reading to return. Neptune will allow the reader to "drive by" and obtain readings automatically. This will substantially reduce meter reading labor. 5) Upgrades: Neptune allows upgrades to a fixed point system without any changes to their meters. 6) Compatibility; Neptune's reading equipment does not require meter change out. It is compatible with our existing meters. With the reduction in labor related to installation, repairs and meter reading time, it is anticipated that the Neptune system is the most cost effective system. It should be noted that all capital equipment purchases related to water will come from the water enterprise fund and will not affect the General Fund supported by Ad Valorem taxes. Action Items• 1.

There was a concern that drivers are going too fast as they travel westbound towards this intersection. This is a "T" intersection with Jane Road being the intersecting street. Jane Road has a stop sign; there are no stop signs on either leg of Lake Jane Trail. The speed limit east of this intersection is 40 MPH; west of it, it is 35 MPH. Traffic volumes at this intersection are light, and do not warrant any additional stop signs. Because of the steep hill, we believe adding a stop sign to the westbound would create a dangerous condition. Not only would a stop sign be routinely violated, stopping in the winter could become problematic for larger vehicles. Other solution to reduce the speed of drivers at this intersection include moving the 35 MPH zone from the bottom of the hill to the top of it; more regular use of the speed trailer; directed enforcement of the speed limit on this street; and finally structural modifications of the roadway including a median and landscaping to reduce the perceived width of the street.

The 55th Street project was bid with a Iarge number of bollards needed to prevent vehicle access. That portion of the work was quoted at about $20,000.00. Mike Bouthilet believes we can accomplish the same thing with boulders and other landscaping. Public works will work on this over the summer. The quotes listed below are for the project without the bollards. Trail Tower T. A.

The NPDES permit covers storm water discharges. The new permit is required to be quite a bit stricter in regards to making certain City's perform the required Best Management Practices (BMP's). There are 34 unique items that each City must keep track of. A person at the City is required to be in responsible charge of each BMP. There are other items that are part of this permit as well. We will be discussing this permit in more detail at our Annual Meeting on May 17, 2006. We are required to submit this permit before June 1, 2006. It should be noted that the MPCA only released the last part of these permit requirements last week, giving us and all the other Cities very little time to prepare this document. City Council Action Requested Authorize the City Staff to complete the NPDES permit and submit it before June 1, 2006. Sincerely; Thomas D. Prew, P. E. City Engineer An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9A City Council May 16, 2006 Agenda Item: Zoning Variances — 8009 Hill Trail (Tacheny) Background Information for May 16, 2006: The Council deferred action on this application at the May 2 meeting pending a full Council compliment to consider the matter on May 16. Mr. Tacheny has advised the staff that he has additional testimony to present the City Council as well. The complete May 2 packet materials are included here, including the original draft approval resolution. Should the Council decide on this matter contrary to the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval, the Resolution will require different findings to support denial — beyond a simple finding that the application fails to comply with the required variance standards. The application is dated April 3, 2006. Therefore the City Council must render a decision on this matter on May 16 — or, the applicant specifically requests an extension of the City's 60 day review window. Person responsible: Action items: Motion to adopt Resolution #2006-041 approving variances at C' y JPI" e 8009 Hill Trail, or; an alternative resolution and Findings to deny the variances.

Complete May 2, 2006 Agenda Packet CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO FRONT SETBACK AND MININIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR 8009 HILL TRAIL NORTH CITY of LAKE ELMO WHEREAS, the applicants, Jason and Shannon Tacheny, have submitted an application for a variance to front setback and minimum lot size requirements for an addition to an existing home at 8009 Hill Trail North that encroaches 2.5 feet into the front setback, legally described as follows: Lots 300 thru 309, inclusive, LANE'S DEMONTREVILLE COUNTRY CLUB ADDITION, Washington County, Minnesota. WHEREAS, at its April 24, 2006 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed and unanimously recommended approval of this variance per plans presented by staff, as the same on file with the City Administrator. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council for the City of Lake Elmo does hereby approve the variance to minimum lot size requirements and front setback based upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the following Findings: I. The property cannot be put to reasonable use because the home was designed and constructed 60 years ago, well before public health and safety standards existed; application of those standards today limits the existing home to one bedroom, and this neither in character with the balance neighborhood, nor is it a reasonable use of the property. 2. The variance requested results from circumstances unique to properties where principal structures were constructed to adoption of City Zoning and Shoreland Regulations, and the circumstances of the variance were not created by the applicant in that context. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. And conditional upon the approval of a new septic design prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council on the 161h day of May, 2006. Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Martin Rafferty, City Administrator A. Variance for 8009 Hill Trail Jason Tacheny: Resolution 2006-041: The City Planner reported that the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and adopted a recommendation for approval of this application to remodel and enlarge an existing home on a substandard lot (by area). Two variances are requested and recommended for approval: home enlargement on substandard lot and street setback to Hill Trail. Council discussion concerned the setting of a potential precedent, the character of the neighborhood, if the scale of the house after the improvements would be in keeping with the neighborhood; and, the nature of the hardship. City Attorney Filla stated that State Law prescribes, "reasonable use of the property" among the general standards for granting zoning variances. He also advised the Council that each variance application is unique and the Council's decisions on variances tend to be subjective, and need not necessarily be consistent as long as specific findings are made by the Council regarding the variance standards in each case. He concluded that the Council should not be concerned with precedent as long as there are specific findings to support their variance decisions. M/S/P Johnston/Johnson — to table to the next meeting to continue consideration of the applications with the full Council in attendance. (Motion passed 3-1: DeLapp-believed everything was presented) DRAFT DRAFT Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9A City Council May 2, 2006 Agenda Item: Zoning Variances - 8009 Hill Trail (Tacheny) Background Information for May 2, 2006: At its meeting April 24, 2006 the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and adopted a recommendation for approval of this application to remodel and enlarge an existing home on a substandard lot (by area). Two variances are requested and recommended for approval: home enlargement on substandard lot (by area); and, street setback to Hill Trail. The lot area is 17,000+ square feet where 39,204 square feet is required for a legally non -conforming lot (which this is); and, the proposed street setback in 27.5 feet where 30 feet is required. Findings in support of these variances relate to the proposed scale of the house and need for legal bedrooms, and the street setback of the existing structure being the same as proposed for the addition (27.5 feet). An important condition of approval recommended by the Commission (and staff) is that the applicant redesign and reconstructs the septic system to match the system size required for the bedroom count that will result from the house expansion — from a 2 bedroom capacity to a 3 or 4 bedroom capacity. No permit for the house expansion should be issued until a concurrent permit for the septic expansion is issued. No Certificate of Occupancy should issued until the enlarged septic is completed and functioning as designed. Person responsible: Action items: City Planner Motion to adopt Resolution #2006 -041 approving variances at 8009 Hill Trail based on the recommendation and findings of the Planning Commission and plans staff dated April 19, 2006, and subject to a condition related to septic system improvements.

Applicant's Documentation Excerpt DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes of April 24, 2006 Variances: 8009 Hill Trail PUBLIC HEARING: Variance-8009 Hill Trail The Planner presented the variance application for front yard setback and minimum lot size. The applicant proposes an addition to an existing home of three or four bedrooms with a second story. The existing home encroaches 2.5 feet into the front setback. City records reveal the septic system was installed through the 201 Program in 1985 and it is sized by volume for a two bedroom home. Impervious surface coverage standards are met, even with the addition. The Planner said the lot size variance request is comparable to other requests the city has heard from within this neighborhood. He said it is a neighborhood of very small non- conforming lots as compared to current zoning standards, and the proposed addition expands the non -conformity for this property. He said City records indicate the house was constructed in 1945 with several remodels and upgrades but no enlargement. The Planner explained that over the passage of time, standards have been adopted for what constitutes a legal bedroom and one of the two bedrooms originally constructed is not legal. The Plainer said the introduction of the City's Shoreland Ordinance and Zoning Code created the property's non -conformities. The Planner said he recommends approval subject to an approved septic system redesign before the building permit is issued to match the number of legal bedrooms this home will have. Jason Tacheny, Applicant Mr. Tacheny said the house currently has one bedroom and three children and that is a hardship for the entire family. The Zoning changed after the house was built. One bedroom is not to Code due to inadequate egress along with a circuit box in that room. He said he has a certified septic design prepared that is sized for four bedrooms. He noted that the addition encroaches only 2.5 feet into the front lot setback. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:15 P.M. Nobody spoke. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:16 P.M. M/S/P, Armstrong/Fliflet to recommend approval of variances for front set back and lot size minimums for the construction of an addition to the home at 8009 Hill Trail based on three Findings: 1. The property cannot be put to reasonable use because the home was designed and constructed 60 years ago, well before public health and safety standards existed; application of those standards today limits the existing home to one bedroom, and this neither in character with the balance neighborhood, nor is it a reasonable use of the property. 2. The variance requested results from circumstances unique to properties where principal structures were constructed to adoption of City Zoning and Shoreland Excerpt DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes of April 24, 2006 2 Variances: 8009 Hill Trail Regulations, and the circumstances of the variance were not created by the applicant in that context. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. And conditional upon the approval of a new septic design prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. Vote: 9:0. LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Date: April 19, 2006 for the Meeting of April 24, 2006 Applicant: Jason & Shannon Tacheny Location: 8009 Hill Trail Requested Action: Zoning Variances - Lot Area and Street Setback Land Use Plan Guiding: SRD Existing Zoning: R-1 (Shoreland Overlay) Site History and Existing Conditions: Washington County Assessor records indicate that this home was constructed in 1945 and today contains a total of 1,148 square feet of living area. There have been numerous building permits issued for replacements, remodels, porch and new detached garage since City records have been kept on this address. A single user 201 septic system was installed on the site in the mid-1980's along with several other sites in the Tri-Lakes and Old Village areas. County records reveal the site area to be 17,629 square feet. Discussion and Analysis: The applicants propose construction of a 2 story addition to the east end of house of approximately 1100 square feet which we understand will be utilized for a family room (ground level and 3 additional bedrooms (second story). The applicant states that the existing house floor plan only includes one legal bedroom. The applicant's plan for the addition is not compliant with R-1 or Shoreland standards as follows: 1. The site area is substantially non -conforming with the "pre-existing parcel" area standard of both R-1 and Shoreland — 39,204 square feet required, and 17, 629 square feet existing. 2. The addition would be located 27.5 feet from the street property line on Hill Trail. R-1 standards require a minimum 30 foot street set back. The applicants have suggested that the "hardship" here relates to the size of their family and the lack of sufficient bedrooms to properly house a family of that size. While that does not constitute a hardship alone (except a self -impose hardship), a single family detached home with only a single legal bedroom (which likely was 2 legal bedrooms under 1945 codes — if any applied) could be considered a hardship for any property owner. The street setback proposed (27.5 feet where 30 feet is required) exactly matches the existing setback of the 1945 house footprint. No additional encroachment to Hill Trail will result. As is often the case with properties in the Hill Trail neighborhood, site area is seriously below current R-1 and Shoreland standards — even by applying the "pre-existing" parcel clause of the Zoning Ordinance. Seldom is there a reasonable option available to increase the parcel area — as is the case here. Where this has been the case in recent variance applications (most of which have been riparian to one lake or another) the City has generally looked to a Finding of whether the house addition, or new house, would be in keeping with the area of the site and other homes in the immediate neighborhood as to scale — a reasonable use. A second factor that must be considered is the impervious coverage of the site that will result from the home addition or new home. Within the Shoreland overlay this is limited to 15% or 6,000 square feet —whichever is greater. The septic system design capacity should be a factor as well where an increase in the bedroom count is proposed — as it the case here. From City records it appears that the 201 system serving this residence was designed for 2 bedrooms. Should these variances be approved, the system must be enlarged to a 3 or 4 bedroom capacity. Findings and Recommendations: Based on the foregoing staff suggests that the following mandatory Findings are appropriate: 1, The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance requested. The subject residence was designed/constructed 60 years ago — well before public health/safety standards existed. Application of those standards today limits the existing residence a 1 bedroom, which is neither in character with the balance of the neighborhood nor is a reasonable use of the property. 2. The variance requested does result from circumstances unique to properties where principal structures were constructed prior to adoption of City Zoning and Shoreland Regulations; and, the circumstances of the variance were not solely created by the applicant in that context. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. The foregoing Findings support a recommendation for approval of the variances requested. Planning Commission Actions Requested Motion to recommend approval of variances for lot area and street setback at 8009 Hill Trail based on Findings of the Planning Staff Report of April 19, 2006, and plans staff dated April 19, 2006 subject to a condition that the septic system be upgraded to a 3 or 4 bedroom capacity concurrently with the house addition.

Variance Request: . Our house currently has only 1 bedroom; we have three children that don't have rooms of their own. This is a hardship for us, not only having no room to put our children, but not enough space in our house to accommodate for a family of five. The zoning was changed after the house was built; we only have one bedroom that is up to code. Contemporary standards are 3 — 4 bedrooms, the second bedroom isn't even a bedroom or considered a bedroom, there is a circuit breaker box in the room, and the windows aren't large enough for egress. aIso to am)-( A, 5,� r1;e- up -fk's UII;awc,— be. atfrrockeA, l V" 1 A Yfn Qh o 2 R oP,/r//\1AL_ DOcumc-NT' ` gg CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY FOR: JASON TACHENY `• PROJECT LOCATION r SET P.KI\NAIL 8009 HILL TRAIL NORTH I I LAKE ELMO, MINNESOTA i I T NORTH o> Q o d ^ `"• ',�JJl✓3i'- /; a CATCH BASIN HYDRANT ExI�IIN I SIGN 1 WATER VALVE GA A 00 UTILITY POLE �1 f 0 LIGHT POLE TELE/ELEC BOX �� 19.1' -- ��'� r.• < ✓ s �,I p GAS VALVE OVERHEAD WIRES fI WELL MANHOLE CULI I ERT GAS VMETER f FENCE � '\ I _ •Y CONCRETE POUND I/2" 1 \ • DENOTES FOUND IRON PIPE AT I ' I 1 /2" IRON PIPE LOT CORNER I o DENOTES SET 1 /2" IRON PIPE MARKED RLS 2571 8 ..�.

Tom From: Kimberly Anez [mailto:kim.anez@lakeelmo.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 12:15 PM To: Thomas D. Prew Subject: 8009 Hill Trail Hi, Tom! We have another remodel request on Hill Trail at 8009. This time, the guy wants to add three bedrooms and "convert" an "existing bedroom" to a den area. He says the electric panel closet and the size of the window to outside means it cannot be counted as a bedroom, however, the county assessor web site says there are two bedrooms. In either case, he wants to add three bedrooms. His address file shows part of the201 system. Number 7277, sheet 38 of 107 sheets, commission number 8064, signed by Larry Bohrer. Notes say: Connected to Orangeberg Building Sewerl 12 feet from septic tank. Installed 1250 gal. septic tank. 500 gal. pump station with 1/3 h.p. pum. 2 inch thick insulation under driveway. Constructed 661 s.f. of 3 feet wide trenches with 2 feet of rock under pipes. Can he add on any bedrooms? Would we consider him as adding three or only two bedrooms (assuming what he is telling me about Code being true)? Pumping records show pretty good maintenance, pumping every two to three years. Whether he needs a variance or not, we still need to know he has the capacity to add this many (how many?) bedrooms, right? :) Kim Kimberly Anez City of Lake Elmo kim.anez@lakeelmo.org 1 Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9B City Council May 16, 2006 Agenda Item: Final Plat and Development Agreement — Hidden Meadows Background Information for May 16, 2006: Rockpoint Church has submitted a Final Plat application that plats the public roadway to Keats and the actual 20 acre church site — identical to the previously approved Preliminary Plat. The balance of the original 108 acres site - most of which is the OP residential project for which a Preliminary Plat has been approved — remains in outlots pending replatting as the OP. It appears that the OP Final Plat /DA remains a few weeks "behind" the church project schedule as of now. The Development Agreement for this plat differs somewhat from those prepared for other projects in recent months. References to residential lots, covenants, and park dedication fees (none required with PF-zoned plats) have been removed from the City DA template, but new DA language has been added to assure future responsibility for the septic treatment system to be shared with the OP residential neighborhood. While there will be operations cost sharing between the two developments (not a City issue), the sole responsibility for the operations and maintenance of the facility is to be that of the church. The City will look only to the church for compliance with system operations and reporting requirements. As always, preparation of the Development Agreement draft has been a joint effort of the City Planner, City Engineer and City Attorney.

While the 1990 Plan is acknowledged to be well conceived at least the following factors lead to the need to update its contents, and extend the park planning horizon: The recently adopted Lake Elmo 2030 Comprehensive Plan not only extends the City's planning to the year 2030 (also considered to be the City's "build out"), but plans/forecasts a significantly different future community fabric than assumed by the 1990 Park Plan. The City will not only be larger in population than assumed in 1990, but more urbanized in texture than previously assumed. Many of the park facilities depicted as "future" by the 1990 Park Plan have been acquired and/or developed by the City during the ensuing years. Both park planning and the public's perception of the role of municipalities in the provision of leisure time/recreational services/resources has changed over the 15+ years since the last Lake Elmo Park Plan was prepared. The City recently completed and adopted an updated Comprehensive Trail Guide Plan. No public trail work will be required by this contract, except that required to accommodate any new park locations. The City Park Commission has also completed most of the existing 2006 park facilities inventory work. Little inventory work regarding existing facilities will be required by the consultant. Description of Tasks The consultant(s) retained by the City of Lake Elmo as a result of this request for proposal will collaborate with the Lake Elmo City Parks Commission to: • Review existing plans and documents relating to the City's parks, including the 1990 Park Plan, the 2005 Comprehensive Trail Guide Plan, and the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the 2005-2006 work by the Lake Elmo Park Commission regarding inventory of the existing park facilities in the City. • Develop Lake Elmo specific park planning goals/objectives in concert with the Lake Elmo Park Commission; • Apply, the existing park inventory findings, the adopted Lake Elmo park goals/objectives Deleted: ing and contemporary park planning standards. • Develop a comprehensive parks needs assessment covering each park functional- rFormttt�ed:Bullets classification;�andNum�bering • Develop a Comprehensive Park Plan for review and recommendations by the Lake Elmo Deleted: d City Parks Commission and make changes as deemed appropriate by that body. This Plan should include the following: - maps reflecting the location and functional classification of all existing and proposed park facilities; - technical specifications relating to the physical scale/character and required improvements for each functional class of parks both existing and planned. - text providing additional information on the overall approach to the Comprehensive Park Plan and any information relating to specific aspects of the Plan. • present the Comprehensive Park Plan in a public forum in which public reaction will be solicited; • present the Comprehensive Park, Plan to the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, Deleted: Trail including any recommendations for modifications offered by the Park Commission; • make changes to drafts of the Comprehensive Park Plan as deemed necessary by the Park Commission Planning Commission and City Council throughout this process. • Provide the City 40 published copies of the plan following City Council adoption.

Bouthilet/Heroff to recommend support of Arbor Day activities. Vote: 9:0. 4. Proposed Improvements: Carriage Station Park The Planner said the proposed basketball court of 75 X 50 feet with two standards, backboards, rims, etc. will cost about $30,000. The cost of items depicted in the proposal would be about $41,000 not including grading and staff time. There is $65,000 in the CIP for this work. Superintendent Bouthilet gave examples of play sets in Lake Elmo that cost about $25,000. Another option would be to reduce the basketball court to one-half court allowing more money for trees and the play structure. The Planner said the trail segment depicted will cost about $6,000 to construct. Commissioner Ames said a one-half court will be sufficient for this size neighborhood park. Commissioner T. Bouthilet asked about converting a one-half court to full court. Superintendent Bouthilet said it can be expanded relatively easily. M/S/P, Ames/Wagner to accept the concept plan for Carriage Station Park and forward to the Council with the recommendation for a one-half court basketball court with remaining funds being spent on other amenities. Vote: 9:0. Superintendent Bouthilet said the residents are looking at a full loop trail. The trail is there and is gravel -based. The portion of trail recommended by staff for paving is more ADA accessible because of the grade. 4. Trail Construction Priorities The Planner made the following staff recommendations for trail construction in the order of their Lake Elmo Parks Commission Meeting Minutes of March 20, 2006 1 recommended priority. 1. 55th Street to Sanctuary. 2. In Carriage Station Marquess Trail south to 50"' Street. 3. Klondike Avenue entrance into the park reserve (2500 lineal feet). 4. one -quarter mile more trail could be constructed in 2006. M/S/P, T. Bouthilet/Ames to recommend construction of trails on the vacated portion of 551h Street and Marquess south to 50th Streets as described in the Planner's Staff Memo of March 17, 2006. Vote: 9:0. M/S/P, T. Bouthilet/Ames to recommend construction of an estimated 2,500 feet of trail in the Old Village along Klondike Avenue to the park reserve with no parking allowed anywhere along the trail. Vote: 9:0. Commissioner T. Bouthilet said people are already going into the park reserve illegally via Klondike Avenue, and construction of the trail there would legitimize what people are already doing there now. The 33`d Street segment would be a natural tie-in for the Klondike Trail but it is longer than one - quarter mile. The Planner said our engineer will determine the start and end point of trails. They can also look at the segment along 33`d Street to determine feasibility forjust grading or whether to construct one-half of it this year. 6. City Council Update The Council adopted the change to the CIP increasing money allocated for the Park Plan Update and advised staff to begin the RPP process to hire a consultant. 6.5 Developer Request for an East-West Trail Segment for Discover Crossing Chairman Schumacher received a call from the developer of Discover Crossing. He said the city was originally planning a road there and now they are not and he would like to see a trail link there instead. The Planner said that developer is asking for an amendment to the Trail Plan to have a northern loop from Sanctuary, across Discover Crossing, and to Hidden Meadows. Such a change would require a comprehensive plan amendment. Commissioner T. Bouthilet suggested not amending a Trail Plan we haven't even begun yet. Commissioners Wagner and Steele agreed. Commissioner Ames said there are three loops that will not connect to anything else. Adjourned at 8:19 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Anez Recording Secretary Lake Elmo Parks Commission Meeting Minutes of March 20, 2006 Update: Perfluorochemicals and Private Drinking Water Wells in Lake Elmo May 2006 As you are aware, local and state agencies are continuing to investigate the extent and levels of chemicals in the perfluorochemicals (PFCs) group in the groundwater under western Lake Elmo. The purpose of this update is to let you know about several recent developments. Background Beginning in 2004, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) tested drinking water from private wells for two members of the perfluorochemical group: PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate). Because PFCs were used and disposed in Minnesota, the MDH developed Health Based Values for PFOA and PFOS in 2002. A Health Based Value (HBV) is the amount of a chemical in drinking water that we consider to be safe for people to drink daily for up to a lifetime. The HBV for PFOA is currently 7 parts per billion and the HBV for PFOS is 1 part per billion. Initially, the MDH laboratory did not have a laboratory test for detecting PFCs in groundwater. In 2004, the MDH laboratory developed a method for detecting PFOA and PFOS. Since that time, we have tested and reported results for those two chemicals to well owners. Decisions about which wells require water treatment were based on test results for PFOA and PFOS and the HBVs of 7 micrograms per liter (ug/L) and 1 ug/L, respectively. If more than one chemical is detected in the same well, MDH evaluates the toxicity of all the chemicals together. Modifying the HBVs for PFOA and PFOS Around the world, scientists are studying PFCs and the way they act in the environment, and effects on laboratory animals and on workers who were exposed through manufacturing processes. Scientists at MDH are constantly reviewing these studies and evaluating the implications to ensure that the actions we take are protective of people's health. Since 2002, when the original HBVs were developed, MDH scientists have been reviewing toxicological studies as they become available. Preliminary review of new information indicates that the current HBVs for PFOA and PFOS need to be revised to lower values. It will take some time for MDH to evaluate the studies and calculate the specific number. Until that process can be completed, we are using the most protective value that would likely result from the reevaluation to determine which homes should be provided with an alternate water supply. Minnesota Department of Health+Division of Environmental Health+Site Assessment and Consultation Unit 651.201.4897, or 1.800.657.3908, press O+www.health.state.mn.us Expanded Testing for Perfluorochemicals As part of efforts to expand our understanding of the PFC contamination, in March 2006 the MDH laboratory developed a test (Method #555) for five other chemicals from the perfluorochemical group: • Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), • Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), • Perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA), • Perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS), and • Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA). Some of these chemicals have been detected in groundwater samples from monitoring wells at the Washington County Landfill. The most recent water samples from private wells were also re -tested for these additional chemicals. In private wells, PFBA, PFPeA, PFHxS, and PFHxA have been found; PFBS has not been found. Three of the additional chemicals (PFPeA, PFHxS, and PFHxA) were only found in wells that had previous detections of PFOA and PFOS. However, PFBA was detected in wells that previously had no detections of PFOA and PFOS. Due to limited research on these five PFCs, we do not have enough information to develop HBVs for them. Based on the chemical characteristics of these five PFCs, it is believed that they should be less toxic to people than PFOA and PFOS. MDH has decided to use the revised HBVs for PFOA and PFOS as substitutes until sufficient information is available to develop HBVs for these chemicals. Using the revised HBVs for PFOA and PFOS as substitute HBVs for these chemicals will give an extra measure of protection for people's health. Next steps MDH and MPCA will be doing additional testing of private wells to determine the area affected by the five additional PFCs for which we are now able to test. Alternate safe drinking water will be provided when the drinking water testing results exceed the health guidelines. We realize that this update, resulting from additional knowledge and information, may cause some confusion. If you have questions, please feel free to contact any of our staff listed below. MDH will continue to monitor private and public wells affected by contamination from PFC disposal in Washington County and take appropriate steps to protect people's health. We will also continue to give you updates as new information and developments arise. Questions Contact person Phone number E-mail address about...

Administrator Rafferty said the Parks Commission budgeted $45,000 for improvements in Carriage Station and the City Council increased that budget allocation to $65,000. He explained the bid process; with three vendors supplying a designed $35,000 structure. Miracle Company was the preferred design and was recommended. Two additional pieces of equipment were suggested to be added bringing the new total to $45,000. Resident Jennifer McCormick, with the blessing of the association researched neighborhood residents' desires last fall. The play set amenities were at the top of the list. City staff requested Carriage Station residents to participate in the design process with three vendors whose designs were displayed for the Parks Commission. The residents committee desired Option 3 by Miracle because of the natural colors and the number of slides and climbing components. Additionally, requesting and suggesting the Parks Commission consider the additional two pieces of equipment bringing the total to $45,000. M/S/P, Steele/lIeroff to recommend the purchase of the play set design labeled Option 3A presented by Miracle at a cost of $45,000.00 because the colors and components are the most appealing of all the designs presented.

CONCLUSION 38 Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 March 2006 Dear Fellow Edina Citizens, In November, 2004 the City of Edina assembled a Task Force to study housing and its affordability in our community. The Task Force is com- prised of 19 individuals, most of whom live in Edina. The result of the Task Force's work is this report, and it contains a plethora of information. This is not the final word, but we do seek to spur action. The Task Force believes that housing problems exist and will only grow larger unless some action is taken by the City. This report represents a consensus opinion of the Task Force mem- bers. Most of the principles enumerated here are endorsed by a super majority of the group. We ask that you keep an open mind when read- ing and studying this report. We, like you, are committed to Edina s fu- ture. It's our legacy. Douglas Mayo Chair, on Behalf of the Edina Housing Task Force Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY After months of research, intense discussions, and input from community sources, the Edina Housing Task Force recommends that Edina Implement a Housing Succession Plan to help sustain our community and serve as a strong force for our region. The Plan con- tains five primary strategies: I. Adopt a mandatory Inclusionary zoning policy; 2. Update the Comprehensive Plan to convert appropriate areas to mixed -use and to provide for greater density in appropriate areas; 3. Use the greater Southdale area as a demonstration of a cutting -edge livable, pe- destrian -friendly urban redevelopment; 4. Create long-term opportunities to make a portion of Edina's existing housing stock affordable to more people and families; and 5. Leverage existing housing programs to create more opportunities for hard- working, moderate- and lower -income families. Edina's housing market is very healthy. So why does Edina need to bother with a Housing Succession Plan? For most people in Edina, market forces work sufficiently to provide the housing they need and desire. However, some segments of the population are not well served by the market. The Housing Succession Plan focuses on the areas where the mar- ket is functioning less well. Housing options in this context mean that Edina has lifecycle housing opportunities for people of a broad range of incomes and ages, who will contrib- ute to making it a great place to live. The Housing Succession Plan is built on the Idea that continuous renewal is essential to vital communities. We are a city with a variety of people across age and economic spec- trums —young families, seniors, teachers, professionals, life-long residents and newcom- ers. Because of housing costs, it is likely that this diversity will diminish. With average home sales prices increasing by $185,000 from about $215,000 to over $400,000 between 1997 and 2004, living in Edina is becoming unaffordable for many. Of the more than 21,000 households in Edina, more than 7,700 have Incomes of less than $50,000 per year; nearly 3,300 have incomes of $25,000 or less. Of these 7,700 house- holds, approximately 3,500 pay 30 percent or more of their income for housing, a stan- dard measure of affordability. Lower- and moderate -income workers in Edina are often priced out of its housing market. As housing values outpace the incomes of those who have helped create higher property values (such as teachers, police officers, firefighters, retail/service workers, hospital staff, office workers, nurses, etc.), it becomes difficult for Edina to be their home. This plan aims to protect and enhance Edina as a community of character, openness, and foresight by creating and maintaining a diversity of housing options. The Task Force be- lieves that deliberate attention to Edina's housing is necessary to: • Preserve and enhance the strength of our schools; • Maintain community character; • Foster diversity; • Support Edina businesses' ability to remain competitive in regional and global mar- kets and attract _quality employees; and • Provide lifecycle opportunities for community renewal (provide opportunities for people to live and work in Edina throughout their lives, continually renewing Edina's residential base). We also recommend a three step action plan in this report. The first step.is to obtain feedback from the community. As you review this report, we hope that you will provide your comments and support for the Housing Succession Plan. Second, the Task Force will convene teams to design and implement housing strategies. We invite you to serve on one or more of these teams or to recommend community members with specific ex- pertise. Third, it is important that a management structure be created, responsible for implementing the Housing Succession Plan. Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 1. AVISION FOR EDINA'S FUTURE People choose Edina. Edina is pri- marily a residential community, but is also home to nearly 50,000 jobs. Edina offers outstanding public schools, beautiful parks and abun- dant recreational opportunities, civically engaged citizens, quality medical facilities, numerous employ- ment opportunities, and a conven- ient location. The people of Edina, both its residents and its work- force, contribute to making Edina an outstanding place to live, raise a family, work, and retire. Successful communities create an environment that allows them to continually renew and reinvigorate themselves despite economic up- heavals and demographic changes. They take the long view and rise to challenges. They recognize that, in this fast -paced globally competitive world, a successful past does not guarantee a successful future. This imperative to look ahead was the impetus for Edina's Vision 20/20 Plan (20/20 Plan) as well as the Edina Housing Task Force (the Task Force). Edina's 20/20 Plan sees Edina as the "preeminent place for living, learn- ing, raising families and doing busi- ness." This cannot be accomplished without balanced housing options. In particular, Edina must continue to offer housing opportunities to people who have always been a part of Edina — hard-working people and families and seniors of modest means. Some of the 20/20 Plan strategies, such as a high quality liv- able environment and a balance of land uses, speak directly to the im- portance of housing in Edina. Yet achieving the 20/20 Plan's vision will be complicated and challenging in a fully developed suburb with over 60% of its housing built before 1970 and more than 80% before 1980. Edina's past teaches us that its at- tention to planning and redevelop- ment has kept Edina strong. Look- ing to the future, the Housing Task Force recommends that the City of Edina implement a Housing Succession Plan, (the Plan) built on the idea that con- tinuous renewal is an essential quality of successful com- munities. The Housing Succes- sion Plan aims to Edina Public Works Employee, 1972 sustain and enhance Edina Millstone relocation to Grange Hall Edina as a commu- nity of character, openness, and foresight by creating and maintaining a diversity of housing options. The Task Force be- lieves that deliberate attention to Edina's housing is necessary to: • Preserve and enhance the strength of our schools; • Maintain community character; • Foster diversity; • Support Edina businesses' ability to remain competitive in regional and global markets and attract quality employees; and • Provide lifecycle opportunities for commu- nity renewal (provide opportunities for peo- ple to live and work in Edina throughout their lives, continually renewing Edina's resi- dential base). Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 The Edina Housing Task Force was con- vened by the Research, Planning and Coor- dination for Human Services Ad Hoc Com- mittee of the Edina Human Rights and Rela- tions Commission (see Appendix A for a list of Task Force members). The Task Force was charged with identifying how and why affordable housing matters to Edina's future and to make practical recommenda- tions that can help Edina meet its 20/20 Plan vision of being the "preeminent place for living, learning, raising families and doing business." This report addresses why hous- ing matters and delivers a call to action, in- cluding specific housing strategies and a three-point action plan. ILWHY HOUSING MATTERS Housing is easy to take for granted. Yet the physical asset of housing becomes home for families and indi- viduals, opportunity for those work- ing hard to get ahead, community for cities, and resources for the econ- omy. A mix of housing types and values is necessary to ensure that those who contribute to the community can live in the community if they desire. The same mix enables newcomers and young families to join the com- munity, renewing it with fresh tal- ents and ideas. A mix of housing respects the desires of older citi- zens to remain in the community that is the seat of their life's work and dreams. And housing is in- creasingly a factor in businesses' ability to recruit and retain work- ers. Economic and pressures are strains that 1 Edina's ability a mix of hou, portunities. prices in Edina calating well the reach o who work at currently live I Throughout tl ropolitan area, work- ers and young families are "driving to afforda- bility," housing made accessible by relatively inexpensive rural land and good freeways, but which leaves traffic congestion, air pollution, and water quality problems in its wake. These factors contribute to the in- creasing land values in Edina. If housing prices explode beyond the means of all but the wealthy, Edina will not attract young families, it may struggle to attract the work- ers it needs, and seniors on fixed incomes may be forced to relocate. These scenarios are not far- fetched=indeed there are signs that they are beginning to happen, just as these problems have emerged in other communities around the country. Morningside Constable Weber, Sunnyside Road & France Avenue, 1956 Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 Chart A. This graph shows the percentage by which average Incomes (diamonds) and average house prices (circles) Increased from 1997. Incomes rose by about 30% over the period, while house prices rose by 85%. Housing in Edina Housing is expensive and getting more expensive as land becomes more valuable. Home prices in Edina have typically been among the highest in the Twin Cites met- ropolitan area. The recent surge in home prices was particularly strong in Edina: between 1997 and 2004, the average sales price of a home in Edina increased by $185,000 from about $215,000 to over $400,000, or approximately 12% a year'. (See Appendix B). At the same time, the average in- come for households in Edina has increased much more slowly, ris- ing by 4.4% per year from $ 33,000 in 1997 to $44,000 in 2004'. Chart A shows this in- crease in home prices compared to Incomes. This means that housing in Edina is less affordable today than in 1997. (See Appen- dix E for meaning of "affordable"). Another sign of the market strength and declining affordability of Edina's housing is the growing ' 2000 US Census 2 Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Chart B. Using permit informa- tion for demolitions, this chart shows the number of "tear downs' in Edina by year. trend of "tear downs" (buying smaller single family homes, tearing them down, and building significantly larger homes on those lots). Chart B shows that the number of tear downs jumped sharply from about eight a year from 2000 to 2003, to 20 in 2004 and 37 in 2005'. The number of major construc- tion projects for renovation and additions rose steeply as well, further contributing to the rise in home values in Edina. The estimated value of new construction for remodeling, additions, and tear -downs increased by more than 60% between 2000 and 2005. Edina's residents have a wide range of Incomes. Of the more than 21,000 households in Edina, more than 7,700 have incomes of less than $50,000 per year; nearly 3,300 have incomes of $25,000 or less. Of these 7,700 households, 3,300 are renters, 60% of whom pay more than 30 percent of their in- come for housing, a standard measure of affordability.

Of the approximately 47,500 residents in Edina, nearly 10% work in jobs earning less than $14,40 per hours. Many of these are our service providers, including our retail clerks and day care workers.

The number of available affordable homes is cumulative up the Income bands, because if home is affordable to a household earning $20,000, it is still affordable to a household earning $40,600. There is a deficit of homes available for households earning less than $50,000, and limited homeownership** opportunities for those earning less than $75,000. Even for those 2,124 households earning $100,000, there are fewer than 1000 sin- gle-family homes affordable for purchase in Edina. The number of homes available by type are listed in the table on the right. *All households within an Income range have been calculated at the average Income for that range, because distri- bution is unknown (e.g. for the income band $25,000--$50,000, $37,5000 was used to calculate affordability). **Assumptions for homeownership Include; 30-year mortgage at 7.0% interest and enough cash on hand to cover closing costs.

Members of the Task Force differed in opinion about which reasons were most im- portant, but we agreed that there are many legitimate rea- sons. We invite you to think about which of the following reasons resonate most strongly with you. Preserving Strong Schools. The Edina public schools are among the best In the state — and the nation. Real estate agents say that the number one reason people move to Edina is the schools (whether or not they have children) because strong schools are a significant factor in maintaining strong property values. Between 2000 and 2004, school enrollments fell in 68 percent of Minnesota's school districts. Yet, the en- rollment in Edina's schools has grown, due to the largest net gain of open enrollment in the state at more than 800 stu- dents'. As the school age population of Edina declines, open enrollment helps maintain funding levels which keeps class sizes low and provides more choices for students. It is good that the quality of public school attracts students from around the metropolitan area. Yet, Edina and its schools would benefit from serving more local families. Parental involvement in the community often occurs through children's activities and children's activities are often through the schools. ' Edina Public Schools. education in Edina Edina schoolchildren. Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 Edina pubic school primary room, May 15, 1911. The teacher on the right is Miss Callie Dixon. When more young families with children live in Edina, Edina will benefit from their active involvement. Edina's recent building trends usually result in high -cost housing devel- opments (such as condominiums starting around $500,000) that typi- cally do not attract families with school -age children. They may, in fact, attract voters less likely to support school referenda. Facilitating hous- ing opportunities for more young families to move into Edina will help the Edina schools remain strong. Maintaining Community Character. Edina's neighborhoods are the pieces of this successful com- munity. Each neighborhood has its own character and charm. The neighborhoods provide the start- ing point for the residents' in- volvement in the community at large. Citizens .are active and en- gaged in the schools, ,pity govern- ment, and parks and recreation programs. Edina is a well -run city, often upheld as a model of leader- ship within the region. It is a safe community with the fifth lowest crime rate in Hennepin County. Edina's location as a first tier sub- urb is a positive asset, with easy access to parks and other recrea- tional activities, neighborhood and regional shopping areas, high - quality medical facilities, and other businesses. To maintain this strong commu- nity character, Edina needs the people who make a community Bottom: Edina, Richfield, & Airport Police; Middle: Police Patch; Right; Officer Rofidal avith dog Kodiak upon graduation `of training Acad- emy, May 2002. strong, and these people need a place to live. Increasingly, the workers who directly support the quality of life in our city, such as school, government, and health workers, cannot afford to live in Edina. According to a recent sur- vey conducted for the Task Force, only 29 percent of school cit1, and hospital employe { I i Edina, while an addltionilt&l ibra cent would like to hve�ir fnac�f housing options were aye lei The quality of living foIln citizens is compromSe these workers must leoomu diminishing their opportu lesa be part of the broad A) 3f our community.

A diverse community makes for a healthy commu- nity and it Is Important to maintain housing to accommodate such di- versity. Former leaders of Edina have embraced projects that have fos- tered diversity. just as early immigrants established roots and became "Edinans", immigrants today desire the opportunity to do the same. Early frontier settlers in the I800's were young, mostly under 40, with varying ethnic backgrounds (Swedes, Germans, Scots and Irish). By 1889, Edina had become a prosperous farm community of diverse ori- gins. Seventy years later a gravel pit was transformed Into a cutting edge mixed -use development providing affordable housing alternatives for the area. All of these actions were the result of strong leadership and foresight. . ; T r4t, v Diversity in a communijyr tsf positive.

Currently, Minnesota's minority populations total twelve percent. A portion of the new community members will be minority and immi- grant populations. It is anticipated that minorities may comprise one - quarter of the metropolitan area's next generation of workers. Diversity embraces people at all stages of life —youth, young families, hard workers, active retirees, frail elderly, civic employees and the like. Currently, 23% of Edina residents are seniors, 12% of residents are dis- abled, 6% are foreign born and one in three live alone10. Diversity also embraces people In a broad range of income levels. To facilitate di- " 2000 US Census. verse housing options, the City can help redevelop the commu- nity in such a way that prepares our children and residents for the realities of society's future. Regional realities also point to fa- cilitating a more diverse commu- nity. The Metropolitan Council has defined the current and future need for low- to moderate - income housing. As part of the metropolitan area, Edina can con- tribute to the region's housing so- lution while also benefiting from both governmental support and a strengthened community. By do- ing so, Edina will position itself as a responsible and forward - thinking community within the re- gion. Housing diversity is not only about the current residents of Edina. It is also about meeting the responsibility bequeathed to us by Edina's previous leaders — the re- sponsibility of helping our regional community in a way that re-_ duces housing burdens on other communities. Diversity is abouti more than just helping Edina; it l also involves helping our com-jg neighbors and othersip who work and travel in our community.! 11 2000 US Census Supporting Edina Businesses. Edina is a strong employment cen- ter. Between 1990 and 2000, al- though the city's population re- mained stable at approximately 47,000, the number of jobs in Edina increased almost 40^percent from around 37,000 to over 51,000". However, only about one in eight workers now lives in Edina. While the link between housing and economic competi- tiveness is typically a regional is- sue, this increasing reliance on neighboring communities to pro- vide housing for our workers can threaten our ability to retain qual- ity workers and remain economi- cally competitive by increasing commute times and traffic con- gestion. Gas station worker, 1950. Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 Minneapolis Gas Company dinner at Southdale Center, 1957. As the Task Force studied this issue, it found that housing is increas- ingly linked to economic competitiveness. The high cost and limited availability of housing can limit future growth. For example, Massachu- setts and California have experienced workers leaving to regions of more affordable housing. Portland, Maine has found that its lack: of moderately -priced housing makes it difficult for businesses to attract workers in the $8 to $15 an hour range. Businesses in Minnesota are beginning to experience this phenomenon as well. The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce reports that 18% of businesses involved in their 2004-2005 Grow Minnesota program rated their communities "unfavorable" with respect to housing availability. Despite the growing population, Minnesota's labor force growth will slow in the years ahead, from 1.5% annually this decade to 0.3% in the 2020s, Workers will be able to be more selective and choose employ- ment closer to home. So in the years ahead, the availability and price of housing could begin to figure prominently as a factor in economic com- petitiveness. Businesses provide jobs to local residents, make important contributions to local leadership, and add to the local tax base. It is Important to note that a strong commercial - industrial base helps keep property taxes reasonable in Edina. Edina's tax base has 23 percent more market value per resi- dent than the next highest city, Eden Prairie. Beside Minnea- polis and St. Paul, Edina s total market value is surpassed only by Bloomington, and. slightly edged out by Plymouth and Eden Prairie. One consequence Is that Edina's property tax rates are relatively low: eight percent less than the metropolitan average for total tax rates and only 67 percent of the metro- politan average of taxes levied for city services. Providing Lifecycle Opportunities for Community Re- newal. Housing for people at different places in the lifecycle plays an integral role in creating a healthy community. Lifecy- cle housing creates housing opportunities for all points in the lifecycle: young adults, families (young, mature, non- traditional, or otherwise), empty nesters, and seniors. Today, Edina residents with "unaffordable" housing costs are dispro- portionately seniors. Edina will need to ensure that the com- munity has the social and physical infrastructures that allow seniors to thrive. Edina should assist aging seniors to find de- sirable housing, help first-time home buyers into seniors' homes when they wish to sell, and ensure that any new hous- ing can be recycled using the emerging principles of "universal design" to meet multiple needs. In the future, lack of afford- able housing will impact other segments of our community, especially young families. Edina will need affordable housing to better compete with other communities in our region for those young families seeking affordable housing so that we may more easily maintain a vibrant community, fill the schools and more jobs with Edina residents, and ensure a diversity of ages within the city. Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 Affordable, lifecycle housing Is Important to Edina's senior population. Ph.,., q- t ft�� nMlW ., Sa,nlsenlm r/AOn . America and Minnesota are growing older. In roughly ten years, the number of Minnesotans aged 65 or older will surpass the number of school -aged children —an unprecedented reversal of the population -age pyramid. Edina is already at the leading edge of this trend: in 2000 the number of residents 65 or older surpassed the number of school -aged children by nearly 2,000 people. Edina has one of the highest concentra- tions of senior citizens in the metropolitan area, and conversely, a rela- tively small population of young families". (See Appendix C). With such a high population of seniors, Edina can expect a fair amount of turnover in its housing stock In the coming years. Indeed, housing statis- tics show an Edina in transition. One in 3 Edina residents were born outside Minnesota, and 6% were foreign born". As of the 2000 census, more than a third of residents lived in a different home just 5 years previ- ous. As a community, we have a stake In how our housing transitions. 2000 US Census. a Ibid. III CALLTO ACTION Edina has a tradition of taking ac- tion to meet its community ideals. Edina's population more than dou- bled in the 1920's, forcing village government to adapt to new con- ditions. Edina led the way in con- trolling growth by using zoning or- dinances long before any other suburb,and Edina was the first Minne- sota city to employ a full- time planner. Consequently, Edina ad- dressed early on what it was and should be, and estab- lished the po- litical and so- cial tools to facilitate its Ideals. When most municipalities struggled in the postwar period, Edina had created a structure that allowed it to adapt to rapid changes more efficiently than most suburban communities, laying the groundwork for "successful subur- banization." During the postwar boom, Edina retained its upper -middle-class residential character, unlike many similar communities. By 1970, Edina held some of the highest me- dian home values ($38,100) in the metropolitan area. In response, the Edina Housing and Redevelop- ment Au- t h o r i t y (Edina HRA) was estab- lished in 1974 to un- dertake ur- ban redevel- opment pro- jects and as- sist with the development of affordable housing. The Edina HRA served as the driving force behind many develop- ment projects, Including the 50th and France commercial area re- newal, the Edinborough and Cen- tennial Lakes mixed development projects (where the City offered second mortgages), and low- and moderate -income housing at York- Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 dale Townhomes, Oak Glen, Summit Point, and South Ha- ven (see Appendix D for map locations). Some of these housing developments were originally put in place largely to help attract young families to Edina and serve as an impor- tant source of affordable housing in the community. By all accounts, these efforts have been enormously successful and have served as a model for the region. The City of Edina has a history of creating housing that is affordable to people of various incomes. Edina has thrived for the past 100-plus years because each generation sought to leave a legacy of inclusiveness, opportunity, and hard work based on a calculated vision for the future. The Task Force believes that it is important for Edina to continue to build its legacy of action in housing. We have developed a Housing Succession Plan, based on eight Val- ues, four Principles and centered on five key Strategies. During the course of our research, we looked at best prac- tices around the country (see bibliography in Appendix 1) and engaged both experts and community representatives in conversations about housing (see Appendix F).

Values: Our values served as a litmus test for our work. We re- quired of ourselves that our housing strategies: • Preserve and enhance the character of the neighborhoods and property values; • Maintain high quality neighborhood standards; • Support and maintain Edina's quality schools; • Aim for the long-term good of Edina, not relying on temporary fixes; • Maintain Edina's strength in the region by being a regional leader, seeking unique and innovative ap- proaches; • Respect market forces; • Promote lifecycle housing — housing stock that sup- ports a range of housing options that meet people's preferences and circumstances at all life's stages; and • Make affordability sustainable. Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 Principles: EdinWs housing efforts will be most suc- cessful if it follows these principles for ac- tion: • Collaboration: Collaboration allows communities to leverage strengths and resources. Edina does collabo- ration extremely well and should continue this approach for housing. • Communication: Structured, inclu- sive communication is central to engaging the community and build- ing support for the Housing Suc- cession Plan. • Existing Resources: To ensure the greatest effectiveness and effi- ciency, Edina should tap existing resources — both institutional structures as well as funding sources. • Accountability: For the Housing Succession Plan to succeed there must be clear accountability and shared responsibility. The three -step action plan, below, incorpo- rates these principles. Housing Strategies We recommend that Edina implement a Housing Succession Plan. The objective of the Plan is to sustain Edina's charac- ter while enhancing housing options. For most people in Edina, market forces) work sufficiently to provide the housing they need and desire. However some segments of the population are not well served by the market. The Housing Succession Plan focuses on the areas where the market is functioning less well. Housing options in this con- text mean that Edina has lifecycle hous- ing opportunities for people of a broad range of incomes and ages who will contribute to making it a great place to live. The Housing Succession Plan proposes five primary strategies for making this happen. Note that these are strategies. They do not produce affordable hous- ing, or create stronger schools or at- tract young families in and of them- selves. But they do create a structure for allowing the market, partnerships and existing resources to work to maxi- mum advantage aj. opportunities arise as well as to provide a clear direction for the future. The strategies are: I. Adopt a mandatory Inclusion- ary zoning policy; 2. Update the Comprehensive Plan to convert appropriate ar- eas to mixed -use and to provide for greater density in appropri- ate areas; 3. Use the greater Southdale area as a demonstration of a cutting. edge livable, pedestrian -friendly urban redevelopment; 4. Create long-term opportunities to make a portion of Edina's ex- isting housing stock affordable to more people and families; and 5. Leverage existing housing pro- grams to create more opportu- nities for hard-working, moder- ate- and lower -income house- holds. The Task Force explored a variety of other strategies, included in Appendix H. Many of these could prove highly effective. But we believe that setting clear priorities creates greater focus and resolve and uses limited resources to maximum effect. So we offer here the strategies we believe will have the biggest paybacks for Edina. I. Adopt Mandatory inclusionary Zoning. Developers often use a gen- eral rule that the house value on a par- cel of land must be four times the price of the land in order for the economics of the development to work. As land prices Increase, it becomes ever more difficult to build lower priced housing. A number of cities throughout the country have responded to this market condition with "inclusionary zoning" policies. In general, inclusionary zoning requires residential and mixed -use developers to provide a percentage of total housing I Market forces refers cc the Instance where a willing buyer and a willing seller who have all of the facts deter- mine a price based on the principles of supply and demand. This means that if there is a lot of supply (for ex- ample, a lot of houses available in an area), where there Is low demand (few buyers are Interested in these houses), the price will be relatively low. Conversely, If there Is little supply (only a few houses available for pur- chase), and lots of demand (more buyers than available houses), then the price will rise. In the instance of Edina, buyers who wish to purchase a home may be "priced out of the market" because there are fewer homes than prospective buyers. Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 Example of an Incluslonary zoning development In the state of New York units at below market rents or sales prices. The goal of inclusionary zoning is to ensure that a portion of new housing units are affordable and become a seamless part of the fabric of the community. Edina has few development opportunities. On the one hand, this may limit opportunities to create affordable housing through inclusionary zoning; on the other hand, the Task Force believes we cannot afford to miss the few opportunities we have. The Task Force recognizes that building affordable housing can be very time-consuming and costly for developers, often requiring the piecing together of multiple funding sources. Affordable housing may also entail greater political and financial risk than market -rate projects. The Task Force's re- search suggests that the fairest inclusionary zoning policies provide Incentives that offset the cost and serve as carrots, enticing develop- ers to Include affordable units in their housing plans. Some possible incentives include density bonuses, low interest loans funded through a housing and redevelopment authority levy, tax increment financing, and building fee waivers. Any inclusionary zoning policy in Edina should be based on a thorough understanding of Edina's housing mar- ket and development finance and should not become a hidden tax. Unless the incluslonary housing policy is designed to elicit developer cooperation, it is unlikely to be effective. Inclusionary zoning ordinances have been adopted in many cities and counties throughout the country and have worked well in other high demand areas similar to Edina. (See Appendix G). An analysis of data in California showed that the adoption of Inclusion- ary housing programs was not associated with a negative effect on housing production. The City of Cambridge, Massachusetts adopted an inclusionary zoning program in 1998 that requires the inclusion of low- and moderate -income units in every new residen- tial development of 10 or more units. The ordinance offers incen- tives such as density bonuses and contains provisions to hold the developer harmless from the costs involved in meeting the ordi- nance's requirements. No city in Minnesota has adopted mandatory inclusionary zoning policies (primarily due to legal obstacles). We be- lieve that to create afford- able housing in Edina, inclu- sionary zoning will need to be mandatory. This is con- sistent with the experience of other high demand mar- kets on the east and west coasts where very little af- fordable housing was built using voluntary programs. The Edina housing market will not create affordable housing itself. We must require and provide help, or affordable housing will Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 not happen in our community. Some cities do re- quire developers to provide affordable housing if they are otherwise receiving financial assistance from the city for the development. There are ways to craft in- clusionary zoning measures under the current law, but many experts believe that statutory authority needs to be broadened to permit Minne- sota cities to legally adopt inclusionary zoning ordinances. Thus, any inclusionary zoning policy for Edina must be researched and crafted carefully to conform to Minnesota state law. In addition, any inclusionary zoning ordinance must be crafted to fully respect the marketplace. We must create the right incentives and oppor- tunities for developers to build affordable housing that meets the high expectations Edina residents have for new developments as well as their expectation that all development will enhance com- munity character. 2. Update Edina's Comprehensive Plan. Edina is required to update its Comprehensive Plan by 2008. The land use portion should identify opportunities to rezone underutilized office and industrial parks to mixed -use developments to include housing. These parcels provide a rare opportunity for the City to develop high -quality housing of different types and prices that can adapt to Southdale, 19S6. people's needs over time. They also provide a way for Edina to exhibit leadership in how the use of scarce land can be optimized. 3. Use the Greater Southdale area to Demonstrate Cutting -Edge Livable, Pedestrian -Friendly Redevel- opment. Healthy Community Design is a new movement in redevelopment that is attracting considerable funding and attention. Features of healthy community design include mixed use, a variety of housing, environmentally -sensitive architecture (such as surface water management through reduced hardscape and green roofs, water use reduction, Indoor environmental quality, efficient use of materials and When Centennial Lakes in Edina was constructed, It set a new stan- dard for mixed -use development nationwide. Edina Housing Task Force Page 27 DRAFT March 2006 resources, waste management, renewable energy and energy efficiency), pedestrian -friendly environments, and innovative public transportation. The plans for redevelopment of the greater Southdale area provide an immediate opportunity for Edina to play a leadership role in both healthy community design and in helping to alleviate the current mismatch between employment, transportation, and housing that troubles the metropolitan area. When Southdale was originally built in the 1950s, Edina received national publicity for this innovative devel Above. Bus and Hiawatha lightrail line in Minneapolis. Right. Brookside train as It passed through Edina, 1953 and 1954. The City has invested significant effort into its vision for the greater Southdale area and should use this opportunity to create mixed - income housing. 4. Create Long -Term Opportunities To Make A Portion Of Edina's Existing Housing Stock Affordable To More Peo- ple And Families. Although it is important to recognize the role of redevelopment and new construction in providing affordable hous- ing, there is limited opportunity for new single- family construction in Edina. Therefore it is critical to look at how Edina's existing housing stock might be made affordable to more peo- ple and families. The two primary means of doing so are Community Land Trusts and low - or no -interest second mortgages, both of which "buy down" the cost of owning a home through equity -sharing. Through a Community Land Trust (CLT), Edina can make available a stock of perma- nently affordable homes. The concept of a land trust is very simple. The price of the land is severed from the home, reducing the overall cost to the homeowner. The land Is owned by a separate, nonprofit community -based organi- zation and leased to the homeowner at a nominal amount. When the home is sold, any appreciation in market valuos split between the homeowner and the landowner depending on a predetermined formula intended to bal- ance the interests of present homeowners with the long -terms goals of the CLT. CLTs have several advantages. One of the beauties of a land trust is that it can be as lim- ited or expansive as resources allow. Another is that it helps families of modest means own a home and build equity rather than paying rent which never provides a financial return to the renting family. In some communities, land trust homes are completely anonymous, reducing the stigma of "affordable housing." Land trusts allow scarce dollars to be used as a one=time, long-term, sustainable community investment in affordable housing. Al- though the land is owned by a nonprofit, CLTs can remain on property tax rolls. Re- Community Land Trust housing in Bat- tleboro, VT, that was organized and search has incorporated by a group of concerned demon- citizens in August 1987 In response to strated the concerns about available affordable success of housing. CLTs In maintaining and expanding the stock of afford- able housing in an area. A number of commu- nities in the Twin Cities have highly successful CLTs. While CLTs can be costly to administer, Edina lies within the geographic boundary of the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT). A potential limitation of CLTs is that they are nearly always used for single fam- ily housing. The legal complexities of land ownership in multifamily dwellings have hin- dered the use of CLTs in the past, but a recent application of CLTs to multi -family housing in the Twin Cities suggests these issues can be overcome. G The Community Land Trust program could ef- fectively meet Iifecycle goals in a number of ways. If paired with services such as the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation's program that helps senior citizens move from their single family home to, more desirable housing, a CLT could help attract new young families. Employer -based strategies, such as the model developed by Bremer Bank and the United Way, could also be used to both pro- mote the land trust opportunities and to pro- vide down -payment assistance. The benefits of second mortgages are numer- ous. Second mortgages that provide zero- or Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 low -interest loans and/or defer repayment can help to put monthly mortgage pay- ments within reach of low-income buyers. Upon resale, the equity In the home is split between the homeowner and any mortgage holders, depending on a predeter- mined formula. Second mortgages allow families to have more housing choices avail- able to them. Also, the administrative costs are minimal compared to CLTs. Some- times second mortgages are tied to a "first right of refusal' so that the home can be repurchased by the second mortgage holder or the community entity and sold to another family needing more affordable housing. However, as property values con- tinue to escalate, the size of the needed second mortgage to reach affordability is likely to grow as well. As these or other options are explored more fully, the Task Force believes that im- portant objectives to keep in mind include: 1) the opportunities should be made available for the long-term; 2) the opportunities should be available throughout the community rather than concentrated in a single area; and 3) the opportunities should be seamless, so that no stigma is attached to a particular piece of real estate. 5. Leverage Existing Housing Programs To Create More Opportunities For Moderate- And Lower -Income House- holds. Earlier this report showed the large deficit of housing available to lower- and moderate -Income families in Edina. Ad- dressing this deficit is part of creating a well-balanced housing stock and is unlikely to occur through market forces alone. Fortunately, Minnesota has a well developed and committed af- fordable housing industry and many programs exist to help lower —and moderate -income families, both homeowners and renters. Existing programs and resources can be used to achieve balanced housing in Edina. Examples of existing programs include: 1) the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency provides low Interest loans and down payment assistance to first time homebuyers, with a special emphasis on assisting minority homebuyers: 2) Thrivent Financial has recently launched a $100 million, nation- wide effort to build 2,000 Habitat for Humanity homes in the next four years; 3) Lutheran Social Services has had great suc- cess working with landlords to increase their willingness to ac- cept and manage Section 8 vouchers. 4) Hennepin County pro- vides gap financing for affordable housing developments for rental and homeownership; 5) Community Development Block Grant funds can be used to create zero or low interest, deferred pay- ment loans to residents to update their houses. Many lower -income households live in Edina now and contribute to our community. People are often concerned that lower - income housing leads to diminished property values or increased crime. But, these fears are not substantiated by the evidence. Many studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of lower -income housing on property values. There is no link found between affordable housing and reduced property values. As for t. Mother ork. Ph.= mr- teyofsac and s.d.A fm&... Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 crime, Edina's Police Chief reports that, although the number of police calls is higher in subsidized properties, these calls are not of a criminal nature. Instead, these are primarily related to medical emergencies and "miscellaneous officer calls" (when an officer stops in to talk to residents on a sched- uled or random basis to stay current on events in the complex). Three -Step Action Plan To put the Housing Succession Plan in motion, the Task Force proposes a three step effort: 1) con- tinue the community dialogue about housing and affordable housing's place in Edina and obtain feed- back on the specific housing strategies, 2) facilitate the development of the housing strategies, and 3) recommend a management structure to oversee im- plementation of the strategies, to develop a specific plan for each, and to create and monitor account- ability measures. 1. Obtain Feedback. The Task Force believes that results are necessary, and that a report Is not enough. Members realize that community under- standing and support is critical to the success of any housing plan. This draft report is being shared throughout the community. We will begin discus - Edina city hall at night, 2005. sions about housing in Edina and gather community feedback to com- plete Task Force research. We hope to engage the community In a variety of ways, possibly work- ing with others to: • Sponsor community forums and roundtables; • Host a community leaders breakfast; • Provide guest speakers at organizations' scheduled meetings; • Collaborate with existing community events ; • Publish and establish web site links for our report and PowerPoint presentations; and • Encourage the City Council to hold public hearings, perhaps jointly with the School Board. 2. Design and Implement The Housing Strategies. Once the Task Force has received community feedback, teams will be assembled from the Task Force as well as the broader community. The teams will be charged with further: 1) designing the details of the housing strate- gies; 2) determining the specific features of the program or policy; 3) Identifying who should be responsible and Involved with implementation; 4) outlining how much It will cost, potential sources of funding, and time lines; 5) creating processes for community involvement and education; and 6) garnering political support and approvals. A component of this phase should be adoption of the final report by the Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 City. As part of this action, we propose that the City include an objective dedicated to life -cycle housing in its 20/20 Plan. This might read: Objective: Develop a full mix of housing opportunities in Edina. Issues: • Housing prices in Edina are escalating well beyond the means of many Edina residents and workers. • Life -cycle housing is an essential asset for a com- munity's ability to renew Itself. If young families cannot afford to live in Edina, we put the quality of our schools at risk. • A mix of housing opportunities enables those who contribute to Edina's well-being, such as teachers, police officers, etc., to live in Edina. • Accessible, affordable housing is increasingly a fac- tor in businesses' ability to recruit and retain work- ers. • Without a full mix of housing opportunities, the quality of the Edina School system will erode. Strategies: • Adopt a mandatory inclusionary zoning policy. • Update the Comprehensive Plan to convert appro- priate areas to mixed -use and provide for greater density in appropriate areas. • Use the greater Southdale area as a demonstration of a cutting -edge livable, pedestrian -friendly urban redevelopment. • Create long-term opportunities to make a portion of Edina's existing housing stock affordable to more people and families. • Leverage existing housing programs to create more opportunities for hard-working, moderate- and lower -Income families. The Task Force will develop a "charge" to each team. The charge will provide parameters for each team's work, asking them to address important issues that arise, for example: review legal soundness; examine tax consequences to ensure that policies do not adversely impact housing; and propose specific goals and measurements. Identifying and securing funding sources will be a key Implemen- tation element. The specific fea- tures of Edinas Housing Succes- sion Plan must be creative, inno- vative work in order to attract funding. The Plan should also promote new avenues for using existing funding sources. Some existing programs to ex- plore further Include the Edina Housing Redevelopment Author- ity (Edina HRA), the East Edina Housing Foundation (EEHF), Min- nesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), Habitat for Humanity, HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, AARP (formerly American Asso- ciation of Retired Persons), and Hennepin County gap financing. Edina should leverage cross - community collaborations al- ready in place, and continue to learn from other cities successful In this area. 3. Create A Management Structure To Implement The Housing Succession Plan. Successful implementation of the Housing Succession Plan will re- quire an entity with long-term re- sponsibility and accountability. This entity will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the strategies, developing a spe- cific plan for each strategy, creat- ing and monitoring accountability measures, and continuing to en- gage residents. This entity could take the form of any number of organizational Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 structures. A public -private hous- ing commission could be created. A city Commission might be cre- ated. A city staff person could be assigned. The entity's form should depend upon the housing recom- mendations it is being asked to implement. The Task Force will develop a specific recommenda- tion for creating a management . structure once community feed- back is obtained. Further, the Task Force will recommend: 1) who should be involved and take the lead, 2) staffing, 3) estimated costs, 4) potential sources of funding, 5) timelines, 6) commu- nity involvement and education, and 7) processes for political sup - Street Scene of West Casco to Bridge Street, 1931 Centennial Lakes Park & Office Buildings.

Nu- meric goals have not been developed because more research and community involvement are needed in order to propose realistic but farsighted housing goals for the City of Edina. IV. CONCLUSION The importance of housing to the vitality of a community cannot be overstated. It is easy to overlook the role of housing when the housing market seems to work so auto- matically. ; Rapidly escalating home prices in Edina are put- ting Edina out of reach for many. A growing segment of current Edina residents would be unable to afford a home in Edina if they had to purchase it today. Edina is a community of legacy and foresight. Each gen- eration has faced challenges with resolve, innovation, and hard work to make Edina the great community we enjoy today. Now it's our turn. The Task Force invites you to discuss with your family, neighbors and friends the issues of housing in our com- munity and regionally. The fundamental question is, "What kind of community do we want to be?" If the an- swer is one of vision, character, and inclusiveness, then we cannot ignore the role housing plays. We are eager to hear from you. Edina teachers and school administrators at the Edina Community Center to learn about new K-12 education standards. Photo courteq o(MPR,otg.

Chart F. This chart shows the change in average sales prices for Edina and other communities throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area between 1997 and 2004. While prices rose across the board, Edina saw the most significant gains, both in terms of price ($185,000) and percentage increase (12%). Edina's wages have not been able to keep up, rising at just over 4% per year during the same period. Edina has consistently maintained some of the most expensive housing stock in the metropolitan area. As shown In the body text, a portion of Edina's work- ers, particularly those central to Edina's livelihood and vitality, have been priced out of the mar- ket.

A variety of definitions are used to define "affordable" housing. The definitions refer both to the portion of income spent on housing, as well as income levels and vary by housing program. Housing Costs Affordable ownership: Generally, housing is considered affordable to a;particular household if it does not cost more than 30% of household income. Banks sometimes will make mortgages where the income to house payment ratio exceeds 30%, espe- cially when the buyer's Income is high. Affordable rental: The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) considers rental housing affordable if it doesn't exceed 30% of household income. For Section 8 properties, the tenant pays 30% of household Income, and Section 8 subsidizes the difference between that and fair market rents. HUD used to define affordable as 25% of income. Now, some are urging that something more than 30% be considered affordable — in the 40% range. come Levels HUD defines low or lower income as 80% of area median, very low income as 50% of area median income and extremely low income as 30% of area median. These definitions are used In most HUD rental programs. The median family income in the Twin Cities metropolitan area In 2004 was $76,700. Proaam Oualiflcations The income that qualities a household for housing assistance varies. For example, 60% of median income is one of the income limits used in the federal tax credit pro- gram. It is also used with tax exempt bonds for rental housing. The Metropolitan Council has used 80% of median for affordable homeownership. This means that a home was affordable In 2004 if it was priced at $193,700 or less (Le, the price that a household earning 80% of median income could afford). MHFA also uses this income level for its mortgage programs, but one of the largest state appropriated programs — the Challenge program — has an income limit of 115% of median for homeownership projects. Some cities with affordable housing policies (for example Minneapolis and Saint Paul) require developers who receive city financial assistance to include housing units af- fordable to households at 50% of median income, and some affordable to those at 30% of median income, Edina Housing Task Force DRAFT March 2006 Appendix F Community Sources Daniel Bartus, Real Estate Developer Stacy Becker, Consultant to the Task Force Jennifer Bergman, Program Director, Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation Phyllis Brevig, Edina Resident David Byron, Edina Planning Commission Chair Jan Callison, City of Minnetonka Mayor, original Executive Director of West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (' WHAHLT'), former City Council member Cathy Capone Bennet, Redevelopment Specialist for the City of Roseville, Executive Director of the Roseville Housing Redevelopment Authority Brian Carey, United Properties Polly Dennison, Edina Resident Tom Dolan, Edina Resident, Our Lady of Grace Dave Engstrom, Midwest Housing Collaborative, LLC Ron Erhardt, Minnesota State Representative District 41A, Edina Resident Kimberly Gartner, Consultant to the Task Force Judy Gempler, Edina Resident Carol Gressett, Edina Resident Susan Heiberg, City of Edina Human Services Mark Hendrickson, Principal Planner, Hennepin Co.

Update the land use section of Edina's Comprehensive Plan to include long-term redevelopment of Edina's office and industrial park into mixed -use development, including housing. 5. Community Land Trust. 6. Employer down payment assistance (or other employer -based program, e.g. United Way/Bremer Model, closing cost assistance, mortgage assistance). 7. Use Southdale area as a case study for "healthy community design," including fea- tures such as life cycle housing, sustainable design in all new buildings (i.e. green roofs, etc), pedestrian -friendly environment, innovative public transportation (perhaps a personal rapid transit experiment) S. Remodeling assistance for seniors with incentives (perhaps low interest loans, tax relief, in home care "discounts" or tax credits) and a design center to promote universal design, allowing seniors to safely stay in the home while preserving homes that would be attainable for young families. 9. City of Edina real estate tax policy changes so homes remodeled (either for sen- iors or to provide affordable rental properties) have taxes waived on the in- creased market value (either until sale of the home or for 30 years). For example, properties of seniors who remodel homes would increase in value but their taxes on that increased value would not. 10. Education and communication efforts encouraging baby boomers to financially plan for their own long-term care needs. 1 I . Housing resource center for anyone wishing to remodel/rehab homes. The Cen- ter would promote universal design (and could include incentives such as low in- terest loans, etc). 12. Association fee relief for condominium buyers. 13. Transit -oriented development at location of bus garage and public works facility. 14. Further Edina efforts to obtain state grants to develop semi -formal city/ neighborhood partnerships that support seniors and their families with the goal of preventing crises that lead to hospitalization/nursing home placement. 15, Zoning that would allow granny Flats, etc. Edina.
