Generally located south of Dewey Hill Road, east of the Schuster property, and west of Delaney Boulevard and Cahill Road. Refer to: Attached area map and subdivision dedication report. The proponents are requesting to divide the Ed Lindquist property, which is located south of Dewey Hill Road and immediately east of the Schuster property. They desire to subdivide the property into 14 single family lots ranging in square footage from 11,700 square feet to 27,000 square feet, the average lot size being about 15,000 square feet. The Kemrich Knolls area, immediately to the north, has lot sizes of 13,500 square feet to 20,000 square feet, thus the lot sizes are similar to the surrounding single family residential development. The proponents are proposing that the southernmost part of the property and a strip along the east side be dedicated per the staff's suggestion. The staff would suggest, however, that the area at the south be identified as park and the strip along the east side be identified as Delaney Bouelvard. The proposal shows a 60 foot street down the center of the property with a cul-de-sac. The staff would suggest that a 50 foot street would be sufficient. Recommendation: The staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision contingent on the following: 1. That the southern portion of Outlot A be identified on the plat as "Park". 2. That the easterm portion of the Outlot A be identifed on the plat as "Delaney Bouelvard". 3. That an easement adjacent to Lot 5 and Lot 11 for utility purposes be shown on the plat per an engineering department request. This recommendation is made forthe following reasons: 1. That the planned development is consistent with the Southwest Edina Land Use Plan. 2. That the proposal is consistent with the storm sewer plan for this area. 3. That the lot sizes are in harmony with the single family lot sizes in the area.

CITY OF EDINA PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM APRIL 12, 1976 TO: Warren Hyde, Ken Rosland and Edina Park Board FROM: John Valliere SUBJECT: Green Fees for Jr. Golfers, Friday, July 16, 1976 Each year the Braemar Golf Course should give something back to golf. This year, I would like permission to waive the green fees for 144 junior golfers on our championship course on Friday, July 16 at 7 a.m. The ap- proximate loss of revenue for this would be $700, based on 1976 green fees. Incidentally, on Friday mornings, there are no golf leagues so it would not interfer with anything but our normal open golf. Each year, the professional golfers of the state run a state-wide junior program donating their time and money. In the past, other golf courses have donated one half of a day to the juniors for this fine program. We, at the Braemar Golf Course, have been asked to donate our course for 1976. This tournament would be one of three state-wide tournaments deter- mining state junior champions. feel that this tournament is a good investment for future golfers. also feel that this would bring credit and good public relations to the course. el OPEN HOCKEY PLAYING AT BRAEMAR ARENA MITES, SQUIRTS AND PEEWEES V, f+ " Bring you stick and puck and have fun at Open Hockey playing at Braemar Arena on the following dates and according to your age bracket!

Peewees TRACK PROPOSAL Prior to the February meeting of the Edina Park Board,members received an introductory statement relating to construction of a track for bic- ycle racing within Edina. At that February metting it was decided that a more detailed proposal was necessary before the matter could be serious- ly considered by the Edina Park Board. Since that meeting persons con- cerned with the development of bicycle racing within the Metropolitan area have gathered pertinent data to satisfy the Park Board requests, that information is contained in the following report. • Through the efforts of Cecil Behringer,a former professional bicyc- le racer,now residing in Edina,a wooden track designed for bicycle rac- ing has become available for erection in the Twin Cities area. The track,now in storage at the Napco Industries in Hopkins,is the property of Byron Downen,a resident of New York,and an enthusiastic supporter of bicycle racing. Mr.Downen has indicated he is willing to deed the rights to the track to the municipality that erects it. Members of the Metro Cycling Committee(MCC) are presenting plans for erection of the track to representatives of Twin Cities municipal- ities. There are two basic options to be considered,they are outlined later in this report. When a community accept -the tr.ac�k,.momhc-r_o of the MCC %ill form a corporation for administration of the trick with representatives of the accepting community. The corporation w'!.11 be a non-profit or_ganiz- ation,it's by-laws and policies will conform to community standards, interests and regulations. The corporation will be responsible for developing programs for track utilization,-.,aintenance and promotion of the track. Mr.Behringer has organized a group to promote the erection of the track,the group,known as the Metro Cycling Committee,includes the following people; Cecil Behringer,4204 Mavelle Drive,Edina,metallurgical engr.,former professional cyclist. Paul Phillips 1901 Minnehaha Av.Mpls., CPA,treasurer of MBRC Tom Collopy 2087 Niles St.Paul, Air traffic controller Dr.Mike Speidel 5062 Garfield Av.So.Mpls.,dentist,UofM professor Tom Roe 5110 Grove,Edina,attorney Kenneth Woods,salesman General Motors Truck Div. Michael Royce,mfgr.6947 Washington Av.Eden prairie William "Tor.chy" Peden 1954 Thornwood Lane,Northbrook,Iil. retired, former all-time world's cycling cha.mpion,also a director of Northbrook bicycle racing and speedskating track. John Van DeVelde,olympic development team coag., 518 Factory noad,Adciis-- on Ill. The Metro Cycling Committee proposes that in exchange for the track the municipality will provide a suitable location for the track, fencing and a protective tarp. If the municipality so desires bleachers may also be installed. In addition, the city will insure the track facility and supply up to $2,000 for an initial construction and maintenance fund (see attached budget). The MCC will organize weekly races on the track and also if desired, closed course road races in the vicinity of with all everts being sanctioned by the United States Cycling Federation. The track will be open only for racing and for designated club training, and community activity days. The maintenance will be the responsibility of the MCC. All funds collected from program sales, race entry fees and dealer and club • membership will be held by the MCC. A complete financial statement will be sub- mitted to the City annually. Any funds held ir, excess of $2,000 (the minimum maintenance fund will be held for the subseque,,t year) will be given to the city. As an option, the MCC proposes that he City will provide the location for the track, insurance and the initial const-uction and maintenance fund of $2,000 with the MCC obtaining all other required funds. If this alternative is selected the MCC will annually return all funds in excess of $2,000 until the initial construction and maintenance fund is repaid. The track use under this alternative will remain unchanged. Each of the above conditions involves a minimum amount of involvement by municipal maintenance personnel, while the community has the use of the facility at any time desired. ESTIMATED BUDGET (Note 1) 1/12 mile spruce track 58 degree $78,000 banked turns,200 ft.x 100 ft. Initial set-up and maintenance fund $2000 1,000 ft. security fence,6ft.high barbed wire top,2 personnel and 1 $6,800 vehicular gate. Elevated bleachers,seating capacity 500 $6,000 Tarp to extend track life $1,500 Bridge to infield $1,000 $17 300 ANNUAL REVENUES (Note 2) ' 000 Dealer memberships (Note 3) $1,000 Individual memberships and race entry fees $500 Rental to U.S.Cycling Federation for $100 championship races Sponsorship and gate receipts $1,000 $2,600 Note 1 The estimated budget is based upon the high bid received for each expense item. The cost of lighting and insurance have been omitted due to the necessity of obtaining a spec- ific site prior to obtaining a realistic bid. Note 2 Revenues are based upon estimates received from the North- brook,Illinois Cycling Association. Note 3 Dealer memebrships would be pledged by dealers and paid over a specified number of years. Note 4 The community of Northbrook,Illinois,provides all required maintenance for the Velodrome in their community. However the Northbrook Cycling Committee,Inc. has returned $150,000 to the community over the past 10 years. 0 MCC cannot promise any community a profit from this venture in terms of dollars,bicycle racing has yet to prove it is capable of draw- ing paying crowds on a regular basis in the U.S. Nor does the MCC prom- ise extensive youth aevelopment and adult athletic programs;the bank- ing of the track requires the use of expensive,specialized bicycles ridden by competent riders -average riders on street bikes will be unab- le to use the facility,however with slight modifications standard bikes are acceptable. Aesthetically the construction will be construed as an eyesore,much as Metropolitan stadium and many hockey areas are eye sores. What MCC can promise is that the facility will be used extensively by •local racers,many of these riders have Olympic potential. The track will,by virtue of it's singu]_arity,be the site of State Championship Races, providing publicity for the coiwmuni-ty. it's existence will enhan- ce Edina's image as a sports minded community and it will help round out an already substantial sports program. • 0 TYPES OF RACES HANDICAP RACE — A race where one or more riders are given an advantage over the other riders. In track racing, the advantage is usually distance, while in road racing, it is usually time. SCRATCH RACE — A race for a fixed distance where all the riders start from the same mark. MATCH RACE — A race, for usually less than a mile, in which two or more riders match strategy, speed and acceleration to cross the finish line first. This is a race where it is not enough to merely be fast. Bike handling, courage and acceleration play an important part in gaining the advantage over the other rider. MISS AND OUT RACE — A race of a large group of riders where the last rider across the finish line on each lap drops out of the race until only a small group of riders remain. After a rest lap, the group sprints to the finish line. POINT RACE— A race where points are awarded on specified sprint laps. The rider with the highest total number of points on all sprints is the winner. PURSUIT RACE — A race where two riders or teams start on the opposite sides of the track and attempt to catch each other. The race is over when one rider is overtaken by the other or when the first rider crosses the finish line after a specified distance. In the case of a four man team pursuit the riders tske turns leading the team while the other three riders regain their strengtr by riding in the slipstream of the leader. A team pursuit is over when c. team overtakes the other team or when the third man crosses the • finishli,ieafter aspecifieddistance. TEAM `1ACE — A race of two man teams for a specified distance or time. One rr.F:+nber of each team races low on the track with the field while the, other member of the team circles slowly high on the track to rest and positions himself to relieve his partner at the most advantageous position I and time. Scoring is done by means of sprints every 8 laps with 7, 5, 3, 2, and 1 point being awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place. Points can be scored by riders who are not on even laps with the other riders, but their totals do not count unless they are on even laps with the field at the finish. A team that has lapped the field automatically wins the race regardless of r their point totals. A "jam" is when one team jumps the field and attemps to gain a lap. The field will then work together to chase the "jammers" and prevent them from gaining the lap. The thrill of team racing is in watching an evenly matched pair of riders demonstrate their speed, stamina, strategy, and bike handling abilities, while jockeying for position to win each sprint. 20 ..„.....w or.er ._:.....!w�—.r....w....,.....�.....r.,,..r� _ .a ..•...,,,r.�....... ....._.......w... ......�x.....r•..V•.•«.,. ,.........r s.ap.T= .... _.. .w'M4�" M E M O R A N D U M April 19, 1976 MEMO TO: Mayor Van VaIkenburg Council Members Warren C. Hyde FROM: Ken Rosland, Director Park and Recreation Department SUBJECT: Planning Subdivision Report S-76-2 The Park Board at their April 13, 1976 meeting reviewed and discussed planning subdivision report S-76-2. After lengthy discussion, Mrs. Shaw moved to disapprove S-76-2 as this particular piece of property proposed to be dedicated as "park" property is not within the spirit of the ordinance and should not be identified as "park". Mrs. Lonsbury seconded and the motion was approved. I
