PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR TRUNK HIGHWAY NO. 100 - CROSSTOWN INTERSECTION APPROVED.
Minnesota Highway Department District Engineer, Mr. E. J. McCubrey, was present
to report to the Council aftd an audience the treatment accorded the proposed
Trunk Highway No. 100 - Crosstown Intersection in the Highway Department's "Layout
8 -C, S.P.2733 -08 (100- 130) "; the new plan being for the Cloverleaf rather than
the Directional Flow Intersection. In showing this new plan, Mr. McCubrey told
the Council that he was present to request formal approval by the Council of
this design; that it is not the intent of the plan to show the exact amount of
right -of -way required, although the plan does show the approximate land required
for the intersection; that the Cloverleaf will require somewhat less land than
the formerly proposed Directional Flow and that less houses will be taken.
Pastor Carlson of Normandale Lutheran Church inquired as to what provisions
have been made for infra- community travel, and was told that, in plans for
Highway No. 100 consideration is.being given to crossings at W.57th and W.66th
Streets. Messrs. Hosmer Brown and E.C. Stow suggested that the Highway Depart-
ment, incgiving the Crosstown Intersection preference over long- delayed plans
for Highway No. 100, has delayed development of Mr. Stow's "Lake Edina Addition ".
They asked that the Council defer approval of the proposed intersection until
C.0 such time as complete plans for Highway No. 100 are presented. Mr. McCubrey
to replied that the latest plans for Highway No. 1002 drawn by Orr Engineering
Company, have been found by the Highway Department to have been unsatisfactory
in many instances and will have to be redone; that the Highway Department is
attempting to process construction on the Cloverleaf so that it will be ready to
meet the crosstown; that the Department cannot go ahead with its work until the
preliminary plans are approved. Asked about treatment of Valley View Road, Mr.
McCubrey replied that it will dead -end East but that, to the best of his
knowledge, it will not dead -end West. Asked concerning possible depreciation
of property in the vicinity of the proposed Cloverleaf, Mr. McCubrey replied
that national surveys have shown that property adjacent to freeways and their
interchanges appreciates in value; that it is his feeling that there should be
no homes within 75 feet of the traveled roadways. Mr. McCubrey was asked if
the formerly proposed "Directional Flow" plan is dead. He replied that it is,
for the reason that the community does not want it. In response to a question
as to whether this present plan finds favor with the Highway Department he
stated that he believes the Directional Flow to be the better of the two plans
for the movement of traffic. Some further discussion was given to the matter of•
intra - community travel and a recommendation for pedestrian crossings. Trustee
Bank, stating he believes the Council is cooperating with Mr. Stow in expediting
work on the intersection and thus making possible further plans for the balance
of Highway No. 100, offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption:

WHEREAS, copies of said preliminary plans as so marked, labeled and
identified are also on file in the office of the Village Clerk; and

Trustee Kohler told Mr. McCubrey that, while the Council is glad it can cooperate
with the State Highway Department on plans for the Crosstown Intersection, it hopes
that it can get the full cooperation of the Department on plans for Normandale
(Trunk Highway No. 100). Mr. McCubrey replied that because latest plans must be
returned to Engineers programming for Highway 100 is uncertain but that Highway
Department will keep Council informed. Also, that it will take several months
to prepare final plans for the Crosstown Intersection.
VETERINARY HOSPITAL APPROVED FOR LOT 2, BLOCK 1, EDENMOOR ADDITION (5237 EDEN AVENUE).
Mayor Bredesen called Public Hearing on the petition of Dr. W. A. Bonnet for permit
to construct a Veterinary Hospital on Lot 2, Block 11 'Edenmoor (5237 Eden Avenue).
lerk submitted Affidavits of Publication in Edina-Morningside Courier January 30
and February 6, and of Mailing, of "Notice of Hearing ", which affidavits were
approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Planning Commission's recommendation
approving this land useage was reviewed. Dr. Bonnet presented a sketch of his
proposed building; and audience was told that there would be no outside dog runs.
Some discussion was had concerning the proposed relocation of Highway No. 169, but
because the State has no firm plans and the matter of route is now receiving the
attention of Our Lady of Grace Church, nothing of real value could be learned.
There were no objections to the proposed Veterinary Hospital registered at the
Public Hearing, and no written objections had'been received prior thereto.
Dickson's motion, that permit be issued for construction of Veterinary Hospital
at Lot 21 Block 1, Edenmoor Addition, was seconded by Tupa and carried without
dissenting vote.

property being $225.00; the cost per front foot for platted property, $1.60;
and the cost of lateral service to the trunk on Prance Avenue being $5.44 per

and West of France Avenue is not being assessed for the Trunk Main, and was
informed that this area has already been assessed for another trunk. Mr.
Hosmer Brown, representing the Stow Company, asked that the Company be considered
definitely in favor of the project. There were no objections, either oral or
written, and Dickson offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption:

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED WIDENING OF SOUTH SIDE OF W.50TH STREET FROM APPROX.
225-FT. WEST OF CENTERLINE OF FRANCE AVENUE TO FRANCE AVENUE. Clerk presented
Affidavit of Publication in Edina - Morningside Courier January 30 and February 6,
1958, of "Notice of Hearing ", which was approved as to form and ordered placed
on file. Manager Hyde reported that this Hearing is being held merely to correct
an error in identifying the proposed improvement, ordered in by the Council last
year. A new Estimate of Cost, based on this year's costs, was read at $3.64 per
assessable foot. Attorney Edelman, representing Edina Theatre Corp., asked that
project be delayed. He stated that the Company had intended remodeling the
Tlaeatre this year, but that business experience of the last four or five months
has caused them to reconsider. He cited the narrowing of W.50th St. beyond
France Avenue to the East and beyond Halifax Avenue to the West, and asked that
the widening of the street at the the be postponed for another year. Mr.
Edelman stated that widening the street will result in demolishing the marquee;
the construction of a temporary sign will be expensive in view of proposed
remodeling of the front of the theatre next year. Trustee Tupa told the Council
that several of the businessmen had indicated to him their willingness to
cooperate with the Theatre people in this matter and go along for another year.
Q0 Mayor Bredesen suggested that the Theatre arrange to have children picked up at
co the rear parking lot after the Saturday matinee, and Mr. Edelman stated he
believes this can be arranged. Manager Hyde had recommended immediate widening
in order to move traffic around the 50th - France corner at a better rate.;Tupa
offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption:

W.70TH STREET TRUNK WATERMAIN AND BERNARD PLACE WATERMAIN BIDS DELAYED TO
FEBRUARY 24. Manager Hyde reported that low bidder does not want these jobs
unless he receives the Edgemoor jobs; and award of contract on all four projects
was laid over to February 24.
PUMP AND PUMPHOUSE CONTRACTS AWARDED FOR WELL NO. 9 (HANSEN ROAD). Manager Hyde
presented Tabulations of Bids received this morning on a Deep Well Pump and a
Pumphouse for Well No. 9. On the Pumphouse seven bids were received, that of
Karl Dedolph Const. Co. being low, with $9,343 -.00; H.N. Leighton, second low,
with $99865.00, and Crawford -Merz Co., third low, with $10,403.00. Mr. Hyde
told the Council that low bidder will guarantee to complete by June 15; and he
recommended award to Dedolph on this basis. Asked why the Village must employ
Banister Engineering Company to design the pumphouse, Mr. Hyde replied that
for municipal work either a Registered Engineer or Registered Architect must
sign the plans. Engineer Zikan reported that the volume or work makes it
necessary to employ a consultant occasionally. Mr. John Dunzer of H.N. Leighton
210/58
Company was present to suggest that, in the future, the Council employ an Architect
rather than an Engineer for building designs. He stated he felt that better bids_.
could be procured if this were done. He cited a specification of aluminum windows
on these plans, whereas, he stated, considerable savings could be made by substitution
of steel windows- -about $500. Mr. Dunzer also asked that specifications state a
"completion date ", in order that bids be competitive. Manager Hyde told the Council
that in cases where immediate construction is not imperative it is felt that the
Village can secure better prices by allowing bidders to specify their own completion
dates. Utilities Supt. Woehler told the Council that Well No. 9 is needed for this
summer's operation, and recommended that construction be expedited. Trustee Kohler
moved for award of pumphouse contract to Karl Dedolph Construction Company, subject
to the Company's acceptance of a deduction from bid price for substitution of
steel windows,and subject to Company's agreeing to a May 15, 1958 completion date,
and liquidated damages to the Village for non - completion by said date. Motion
seconded by Tupa and carried. Later, Mr. Hyde asked that ventilating unit be
added to contract; and this was approved by common consent of Council.
PUMP. Tabulation of Bids showed receipt of bids from five bidders, with Layne -
Minnesota being low on a Conventional Type Pump, at $11,368.00 with deduct of $840
for part winding starter, for a net of $10,528. Mr. Hyde reported that, contrary
to claims previously made by representatives for "submersible" pumps as to
economy of operation, these pumps take more power and there is greater difficulty
in maintenance because of the setting. He supported Banister Engineering Company's
written recommendation dated today, for award to Layne - Minnesota on a conventional
type pump. Layne - Minnesota's representative reported that the Company can guarantee
delivery by April 15 - -that the only trouble they could possibly have is delay in
installing concrete. Tupa's motion that contract be awarded to Layne - Minnesota,
with liquidated damages to the Village in case installation is not completed by
April 153, 1958, was seconded by lohler and carried.
,CONTRACT AWARDED FOR FILL FOR PAMELA AND CORNELIA PARKS. Tabulation of bids received
this morning showed Allen L. Hart Excavating Co., Inc., to have low bid at 42t per
Cu. Yd., with Earl A. Sewall second -low with 53�. Manager Hyde told the Council
that the low bid is a very good price, and recommended award of contract to low
bidder. Tupa so moved. Motion seconded by Dickson and carried.
VILLAGE EMPLOYEE BLANKET BOND AWARDED. Tabulation of bids taken February 7th showed
Ed Arnold Company (underwriter Aetna Casualty & Surety Co.) to be low bidder on
specifications as drawn, with $1,434.41 for three years on a Faithful Performance
Blanket Position Bond at $25,000 coverage and $939 for three years on a Blanket
Position Bond for $25,000. However, Arnold Company made the following recommend-
ations: 1. a $23500 Honesty Blanket Position Bond on members of the Police
Department only. 2. $25,000 Faithful Performance of Duty Blanket Bond on all
others with $25,000 additional indemnity on position of Village Manager - -the
premium on these two coverages to be $1,254.88 for three years; also, that a
Corporate Surety Bond be secured for the Clerk- Treasurer. Dickson moved that the
recommendations of the Arnold Company be accepted and that award be made on the
basis of said recommendations. Motion seconded by Bank and carried; the amount
of bond for Clerk - Treasurer to be $25,000.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAPPY WITH PRESENT PARKING REGULATIONS AT 50TH ST.- FRANCE.
The Chamber's letter to the effect that its members are happy with present
parking regulations (removal of 4 to 6 "No Parking" regulations) was received and
ordered placed on file.
COMPLIMENTS TO POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. Letter from Mr. and Mrs. G.J. Miller,
6217 Concord, complimenting Police and Fire Departments on emergency aid in a
small fire, was read; and Manager Hyde reported compliment given orally to
Sergeant Bert Merfeld for talk on driving given to a group of teen -age girls.
HEARING SCHEDULED ON REQUEST FOR PERMIT TO FACE DWELLING LONG WAY OF LOT. Request
of. Mr. Dick Roos for permit to construct dwelling at Lot 12, B1. 105, roodhill,
facing dwelling West instead of on Roycar Road, was received. Bank's motion
scheduling Hearing on request for Monday, February 24, was seconded by Kohler
and carried.
HANSON'S ADDITION PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVED WITH QUALIFICATIONS. Planning Director
Swanson presented for Council consideration the Preliminary Plat of "Hanson's
Addition ", being that frontage on Maloney Avenue adjacent to Grandview Cemetery
and opposite to the block between Harrison and Tyler Avenues. The Planning
Commission's recommendation for approval of preliminary, subject to increasing
the frontage of the corner lot to 79.54 feet and subject to neighbor's letter of
intent to dedicate street, was reviewed. Village Engineer Man explained that
the South portion of this property constitutes a drainage pocket which, for years,
has taken the storm drainage from a considerable area North of Maloney Avenue;
that there is no inexpensive nor economical way to dr?inz from this pocket; that
the water crosses Maloney through a culvert and runs across one of the lots now
proposed to be platted. Mr. Zikan stated that he can see no solution to this
drainage problem except a storm sewer for the entire area - -that this would be
1
1
L

costly and would mean an assessment against many. He suggested that developer
be required to delay platting until such time as drainage problem can be worked
out. Bank's motion, that Preliminary Plat be approved subject to dedication of
street and subject to solution of drainage problem, was seconded by Tupa and
carried.
MUIR WOODS, BLOCK 1 - FINAL PLAT APPROVED. Planning Commission recommendation
of February 5, for approval, was reviewed, and Bank moved for approval subject to
dedication of Outlot 1 and park dedication as suggested by Commission. Motion
seconded by Tupa and carried.
FINDELL ADDITION - FINAL PLAT APPROVED. Planning Commission's recommendation of
the 5th, for approval of the Final Plat of that property described as the "West
75 Feet of Lot 20, Block 21, Peacedale Acres ", was reviewed. Bank's motion for

by Dickson and carried.
HEARING SCHEDULED ON PETITION FOR REZONING TO_COMMUNITY-STORE DISTRICT -SHELL OIL
PROPERTY AT 50TH AND HALIFAX. The Planning Commission's recommendation for a
Hearing on this petition to rezone to Community Store was reviewed; Shell Oil
Company long being in non- conforming use of this corner and now wishing to
remodel. Kohler's motion scheduling Public Hearing on petition for Monday,
February 24, was seconded by Bank and carried.
HEARING SCHEDULED ON PROPOSED VACATION OF PORTIONS OF EDEN PRAIRIE ROAD. Council
Q0 reviewed and discussed at some length the Planning Commission's February 5th
recommendation for the Vacation of the following portions of Eden Prairie Road:
1. From Blake Road west to U.S. Highway No. 169; 2. From U.S. 169 to
Gleason Road; and 3. From Gleason Road to U.S. 169;
and that Blake Road be extended to the south across Eden Prairie Road to U.S.
169. Mr. Lewis E. Jones was present at the discussion, being agreeable to
the vacation and suggesting that inasmuch as Mr. Carl M. Hansen will derive
considerable land from the proposed vacation he should be willing to bear
some of the construction cost for the extension of Blake Road. Manager Hyde
.recommended that Blake Road construction be made from gas tax monies because
of the technical difficulties involved in laying a lateral sewer and also in
filling to make the road connection. He also reported that before an entrance
is planned to Highway No. 169 a permit must be received from the Highway
Department. Kohler's motion, scheduling Public Hearing on proposed Vacation
of above portions of old Eden Prairie Road for Monday, March 10, was seconded
by Dickson and carried.
SOUTHDALE REALTY COMPANY'S REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM OPEN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
TO REGIONAL SHOPPING DISTRICT of all that area bounded by W.66th and W.64th
Streets and by Valley View Road and France Avenue not heretofore rezoned; and
Planning Commission's recommendation in favor of said rezoning, were reviewed
and discussed. Dickson's motion, scheduling Public Hearing on Rezoning Request
for Monday, February 24, was seconded by Bank and carried.
REQUEST FOR CONDEMNATION OF W.64TH STREET ACROSS KATHERINE PEARCE PROPERTY, as
presented to the Planning Commission at its February 5th Meeting, was reviewed
by Messrs. Swanson and Zikan; Mr. Zikan explaining that this would be the best
route across which to bring Sanitary Sewer to the 66th Street Outlet. It was
noted that Miss Pearce has been asked to dedicate the property; and the matter
was laid over to next meeting, pending receipt of her answer.

BOULEVARD AND DRIVEWAY REPAIR POLICY ESTABLISHED._.Engineer Zikan told the Council
that the formerly discussed policy of repairing driveways individually, after
Blacktopping, and of attempting to match sod in boulevards after construction of
Curb and Gutter, will make construction cost prohibitive and very difficult to
assess, because some streets have everything in the way of driveways, from crushed
gravel to blacktop to concrete paving; and boulevards are equally diversified in
their treatment. Much discussion was had, and it was decided by common consent
that the policy be one of Blacktopping that portion of driveways which lie within
the Village right -of -way, unless instructed by the property owner to make no.:repair,
and to sod boulevards according to Village specifications unless instructed by
property owner not to do so.
PUBLIC HEARINGS ON IMPROVEMENTS SCHEDULED. Engineer Zikan presented plans and
estimates of cost of several Curb and Gutter and Blacktopping projects, asking
that Council schedule Public Hearings in order that proceedings might be initiated.
Tupa offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption:
