The Edina City Council met in special session with the Housing and Redevel-
opment Authority and Community Development and Planning Commission at 5 :00

present were Richards, Schmidt, Turner and Mayor Courtney. Community Dev-

Former Mayor Van Valkenburg noted the attendance of Messrs . Peter Jarvis of
Bather, Ringrose and Wolsfeld, Rick Martens of Winfield Development and Larry
Laukka of Laukka & Associates. He advised that an H.R.A. appointed committee
has been meeting regularly on Tuesday mornings of each week, with sub-com-
mittees on finance, development, zoning and the activity center meeting on
Wednesday mornings, and that the committee feels that the general concensus
of the Council and Community Development and Planning Commission should be
known before proceding further in considering this site for mixed use zoning.
Mr. Dalen showed a transparency indicating the extimated costs which buyers
would pay monthly to purchase the various sized apartments. It was explained
that part of the development would be privately owned and part owned by the
City. Means of financing the project were discussed. Mr. Hughes summarized
the purposes and objectives of a mixed use development and methods of accomo-
dating such a development within the Zoning Ordinance.
Council, H.R.A. members and members of the Community Development and Planning
Commission generally concurred that the concept of mixed use development
should be explored for the area in question and agreed that another informal
meeting should be held in February or March.
The meeting adjourned at 5:55 p.m.
