FAIRWAY MOWER
Replace thirteen year old Fairway Mower. Present condition of mower
is unrepairable. Frame completely broke in Gw-a sections below Drivers
seat during 1976 Golf season. Equipment is unsafe for continued use.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
The Rain -o -Mat irrigation system including pumps are inadequate for
present needs. Their is not adequate water supply or pressure to fullfill
our watering demands. Repairs to the present system have been exceeding
$6,000.00 annually. This does not include a night watering man seven
days a week watching the system which is suppose to be fully automatic.
The sprinkler heads will only cover 50 feet in diameter. A new system
would reach 90 - 150 feet and increase the gallons per hour rate
considerable.
We cannot maintain good quality turf conditions with inadequate coverage
or pressure with the present system The pumps we now have are to small.
With only eight hours of watering time each night it is impossible to
water Greens, Tees and Fairways on a Golf Course this size.
Water availability is also poor. The Edina city water department has
been very understanding of our needs, and have done all that
safely do wgthin their limits. .they could
However, their peak demand times are also our peak demand times.
Watering bans on the city also affect our water supply. We therefore
must have our own supply. Our holding ponds can be reduced to below
minimums in one night. This has occured on numerous occasions.
Other problems with the system are as follows:
1. Parts are unavailable
2. System is unable to be sealed against winter damage and
necessitates the purchase of $500.00 of alcohol annually.
3. The electrical stations are faulty and many have to be
manually run or advanced.
4. Many new trees and tee areas are not presently covered.
5. The center of every green is not covered with present
System pressure.
We realize the high cost of this undertaking, but feel if we are to continue
to provide the Patrons with a first class Golf facilty we must take action to
improve the playing conditions. Higher traffic demands require a first class
system.
Ideally we would like to replace the complete system this spring and fall. This,
we realize, is not fiscally possible however during 1977 we would like to sink
a well to provide the needed water and install needed irrigation pumps which
would be designed for a replacement system.

sider this proposal. The Council would welcome and appreciate
any comments, opinions, etc. either collectively or individually

Hence, we all would appreciate your Commission's review and reac-
tions to the proposal either on or before that date.

,_--_-COLONIAL CHURCH OF EDINA GRANTED CONCEPT APPROVAL. ORDINANCE NO. 811-A62 GRANTED
FIRST READING. Mr. Luce presented the request of the Colonial Church oficrE lm
for zoning change from PRD -2 Planned Residential District to PRD -1 Planned Resi-
dential District for property located generally North of the Crosstown Highway,
South of Olinger Blvd., East of Bredesen Park and Village 9 and West of Country-
side Park and the Edina Fire Station. Mr. Luce recalled that the hearing had been
continued from June 2, 1975, so that the church could discuss the location of the
parking lot and cutting down the hill with neighbors. Mr. Richard Hammel, represent-
ing the church, showed slides indicating adjustments made to relocate the protective
berm so that the parking lot will be visibly concealed from the North. Mr. Hammel
also explained that the proposed ring road will be eliminated as requested by
neighbors. Council was advised that the Environmental Quality Commission had
voiced no opposition to using part of the pond for the building site and that,
"to the best of their understanding", the pond is not considered "public waters"
inasmuch as it was developed by PemTom only two years ago. Mr. Hammel said that
the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District had approved the plans and the concept has
been developed with their considerable help. He clarified that ten to twelve feet
will be removad from the top of the hill to construct the berm, reducing the
elevation from 892 feet to 880 feet at the highest point. Mrs. Phyllis R. Sever-
seike, 6244 Sandpiper Court, representing ten Village 9 families, objected to
the location of the parking lot on the West edge of the site, which lot is proposed
to serve members of the congregation who daily use the church facilities for meet-
ings and for the nursery school and which would be used by delivery trucks and for
garbage pick-up. Mrs. Severseike suggested that the parking lot be replaced by a
turn -around which would be used to service the church, aid the traffic flow, be
least disruptive to the natural beauty of the area, and which would prevent heavy
daily traffic in the area closest to adjacent dwellings. Mr. Lawrence A. Laukka,
member of Colonial Church, suggested the possibility of the church using the skating
rink parking lot for future overflow parking in the event the church expands from
its proposed seating capacity of 660 to a possible 1,000. Mr. Laukka also clarified
thct the building plans have not yet been approved by the congregation. Mrs.
Virginia Scott, 6613 Southcrest Drive, was told that the construction of the church
would not increase the amount of water draining from the property to Nine Mile
Creek, but would cause a more rapid run-off. COUNCILALNN COURTNEY'S MOTION grant-
ing concept approval, with the suggestion that the church cork with residents to
the West in regard to the parking lot, was seconded by Councilman Shaw and carried.
Councilman Courtney thereupon offered Ordinance No. 811-A62 for First Reading as
follows:

Subdivision Olinger Boulevard and west of Tracy Avenue. PRD -1
S-77-6 & Flood Planned Residential District to PRD -1 Planned Residential
Plain Permit District (Plan, Change) .
FP -6
Mr. Luce said the request is essentially a plan modification. The site is
presently zoned for townhouse development (rezoned several years ago when Pemtom
owned the property). The proponent received preliminary rezoning approval two
years ago for a church but did not request final approval in time allowed by the
ordinance, so they are now back.again with essentially the same plans to repeat the
process and gain concept approval once again for the Colonial Church development
plans. Mr. Luce recommended approval of the requested rezoning, subdivision,
and flood plain permit with the following stipulations:
A. The final development plans must include:
1. An improved site plan identifying and clarifying proposed grades and
dimensions.
2. Delineation of future parking to accommodate -future seating.
3. An improved landscaping plan illustrating landscape materials in an
appropriate quantity and scale for the site and buildings, surface treat-
ment of the entire parcel, and screening of parking and loading areas.
B. The rezoning is contingent upon completion of the final plat and the flood plain
permit.
C. Submission of an approved Developer's Agreement and parkland dedication prior
to approval of the final plat.
D. The combination of Lots 1 and 2 into one lot prior to approval of the final
plat.
Mr. Craig Hinrichs of Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, architects for the church,,
presented slides illustrating the church design and construction. Mr. Jim Goulet,
also of Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, showed graphics illustrating the drainage
plans for the church. He said there would be two accesses to the church to allow
for less concentrated traffic in one single area.
Mr. Luce said the parking lot is designed to accommodate 220 cars with 20
additional spaces near the loading entrance. The meeting hall is designed to seat
650 people on the main floor with future expansion in the balcony to accommodate
1000 people total. The proposed meeting hall with have a 60 foot height at
the ridge line and the bell tower would be 120 feet.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Evensrud, 5820 Olinger Boulevard, were present to indicate
their objection to the proposal.
Mr. Runyan moved for approval of the requests with the stipulations as stated
in the staff report and listed by Mr. Luce, and Mrs. McClelland seconded. All
voted aye. Motion carried.
