Uk, T1-m Crear, representing Southdale Center, was first speaker for proponents.
He reviewed the Dayton Company*s planning procedure, stating that first approval
for tke tlEoad Scheme and hd Development Pattern" had'been received from the
Village Planning Commission'and Village Council in July of-1953, Building Perm$%
was issued in November of 1954, and that in December,' 19%; specific approiral of
alignnent, grades, drainege, lmdscaping, and all other appurtenaices necessary
to €he improvement now-before the Council, had bean received. &bo Crear stated
that plans €or this hprovement call for a paving width of 48 feet on a 100-foot
right of way on Valley View Road, at tlie North end of the proposed improvement; ' 48 feet of paving on France Avenue on 100 FE. right of way at North end, 120 Et.

work as one improvekent beczuse dirt removed from cut on one street caii be used
as 3ill for another; thus lowering €he cost and also accomplishing better results
than ir" work is done piecemeal. IIr. Crear stated tha€ from the very beginrring of
its plwning Southdale has adopted the philosophy of tra9Ec planning i-rhich might
be the hzrd way; that usually a developer sets his developent beside an already-
constructed highway, thus na2;ing the highvky mucli less useable; that another
technique is to locate a commercial development and then let public offr'cials
worry about how to get out of the traffic mess--but that Southdale had, on the
contrary, adopted the philosophy %ha& they would-mzke every effort they could to
help in traffic planning. Xr. Crear stated that, as regards cost sharing, County
and Village o€€icials had been talkjng about this for some time; that there is
a CoIllrnitment from the County that they ~iil.1 pay-one-half the cost of construction
cost because of County Road involved; that &50,000 is the estimated cost-for
construction of paving, drainage facilities, etc. ; that $75,000 is' estimated
for acquisition of right-of-my outside Southdale, and for damages; that the
County TLU pay one-half the construction cost, that Daytonsl Southdale
pay-t'ne other one-hzlf; and that they are asking that'the Village, 'as is
customary, acquire the right-of-way outside Southdale; that this plan makes the

have assisted in planning, both from planding facilities; and in preparation of

Er. Albert Earson, 4804 IT. Sunnyslope Rosa, stated that he is in favor of the
plan because he feels that additional shopping district is needed in Edina; that
the TT.5Oth Street district cannot expand; that the proposed road improveinent has been planned by eqerts and approved by County and mur&cipal officials3- and he -
feels it to be a good thing for the Village as a vhole.

fact that the plan has been defeated in the Legislature twice.

I-hyor Bredesen aslnounced that opponents to improvement had exhausted their time,
and that rebuttal. 1roul.d be had.
IZe.-Crear, speaking in rebuttal, remjnded Council and audience that there were
only three or four negative votes at the time of the Public Hearing on the pro-
posed Southda2.e project, after a brochure showing the, plan had been mailed out to
every home in the VilLae;e;'thz&, since-that time the O-dy change that has occurred
is 31 detailed engineering.

I&. Albert Larson spoke again in favor of the proposed improvement, stating t&t =
66th Street was originally just a farm road made by filling in across the lake; ,
t3at borings taken in 66th Street last year showed some twelve to twenty feet of
muck under the road; that there is absolutely no way of making a permanent road '
of 66th Street without taking out this much; that engineering costs would be many
times the cost of the improvement which is planned and would be costly to Edina.
Xr. Law, Planning Consultant to the Village Platmirig Commission,'asked for an
opportunity to speak, stating thzt he is Itin the middleI1 of the azgument. He
reviewed for audience orderly proce-dure -foIIot&d by the developers from June 25,
1952, when the firs5 general plan and request for rezoning was preserited, to
December 27, when final approval was given forpthe alignment, etc. for the road
plan.

I now have, yes." ,
Trustee Fronk then *spoke, stating that, as an owner of property along Valley View

he and the other members of the Council a11 realize that no matter what decision *
Ls made they rJill be in disfavor with some; that,-he, personally, has' no po1itical

I&-. Fronk stated that the Southdzle development has been knotm to Edina residents
since 1953, and that i'c seems strange that an ksue is being raised; now, after

1IZ-c. Harley Hyre,572L, Zenith, reminded'the audience tha% he was one of the three
