Nichols explained his plan to the group and to the Council, pointing out proposed extension of 5lst Streeb from France Avenue to Gorgas Avenue, and proposed extension of Gorgas Avenue from its present terminus to a point inter- secting with the present east-west driveway for Edina Theatre; and the extension ofthis east-west driveway from France Avenue to Halifax Avenue, thereby afford- ing circulation for the lots. Ilk. Douglas Rees objected to the acquisition of additional parking space, when his parking space is not entirely filled. He set forth as some things for the Council. Assesdent for acquisition of parking lands immediately adjoining present commercial buildings will probably be more than is anticipated, providing fair price is paid for such lands, 2. Expansion of Business District would tend tmrd a pessible new 506 Street; whereas present ljarking proposal would eliminate this possibility. 3. 5% Street is needed to balance 49h Street on the North, 4. There is room for expansion of parking facilities on both sides of Gorgas Avenueg and this property should be utilized because it can be obtained at a price cheaper than that for business property, I to consider, the following: .I. I, Hr. Friedman objected strenuously to the plan, stating that it eliminated the bestf of the Edina Theatre's parking area, and that such plan would create decided graffic hazard because of the resulting speedway between France and Halifax, was explained to Mr. Friedman that all that property which is now being used as parking property is still available for such use,'andthat the driveway would become merely a service road ad not a speedway, Ilk. Sampson stated he believed it would be cheaper to run 5@ Street through to France, and at the sane time save h3s two homes." He stated he thought he might be able to secure the lot facing Halifax Avenue, immediatelyto the South of presently planned parking &ea, at no price to the Village. I&. Brauer, Who spoke for the Edina Conkercial Club, stated that businessmen on the corner had been well avme of the parking problem for some time, and that he be- lieved the majority ofthe Merchants are in favor of the plan, generally speaking. People present were told that, if and when property is acquired, assessment will be made on fair and equitable basis for all costs--that the owners who have no properties available for parking facilities will be assessed in greater proportion than those whose properties are being acquired, 'I It I Mr. Nichols was asked to make a re-study of this problem, incorporating as my of the suggestions made tonight as seem to him to be of a workable and practical nature and to the ultimate good of the Village as a whole. further hearings would be held before any actiontaken.
