capacity down Bbbott Avenue at considerable speed; that trucks, cats and other
heavy road machines are left out in the open and are repaired at Mr. Krahl's

confusion,

not drain properly and forms a large puddle in front of his home; and that
contractor did not roll his driveway when replacing it. Mr. Hyde explained that
the contractor did not charge for repair of this driveway, and that, therefore,
the Village has no responsibility to see that it is rolled (it is not customary
for repair of driveways to be included in street improvement projects); and that
it is the plan for the ttpuddletl matter to be repaired insofar as possible.

Manager Hyde reported that alley had been

in it; and that the alley grade will be corrected insofar as it is possible to do
so without raising cost of assessment. Mr. Roy L. Lantz, 5604 Xerxes, complained
of the excessive cost of the rock ($6.00 per square yard) claiming that several
other contractors would have furnished this material at a much cheaper price.
It was pointed out that these projects are let out on bids; and that, had any
other contractor wanted the work he was at liberty to present a bid for the
project. A question was raised as to the cutting of the South end of the alley,
and IJr. zikan reported that Engineer Mitchell had desired to keey! as much water
as possible away from the dry sump and had ordered the cut for this reason; that
gradually the sump will tend to fill in. Complaint was registered that the
Village crews keep grading over this sump, thus sealing it off, and Mr. Hyde
replied that he knows of no remedy for this-that snow plow crews change, and
that, to warn crews of this condition it would be necessary to install a sign
in the alley. Mr. Lantz, stating he feels that proper construction would have
been a storm drain through his property and that of his neighbor, and that these
two property owners had been willing to give easements for the drain, objected
to the "dry sump" type of construction. Review was made of the improvement
hearings, when the Village Engineering Department had advocated just the type
of construction Mr. Lantz desires, and the Council was informed that the majority
of the property owners abutting the alley want the dry sump and are willing to
pay for it. Bank's motion, that assessment be approved, was seconded by
Kohler and unanimously carried. (See Resolution of later in meeting, Adopting
and Confirming Assessment).

"NORTHERN CREDIT PLAN OF EDINA, INC." GRANTED PERMIT TO LOCATE IN hQDICAL CENTER.
Attorney Philip Neville, representing "Northern Credit Plan of Edina, Inc.",
requested permit for the firm to locate on ground floor in Southdale Medical Center.
Mr. Neville told Council that Northern Credit Plan is in no sense a "small loan
company", and that it is a thoroughly reputable, honorable company engaged in
lawful business; that firm has a lease for the Medical Center location, conditioned
on Council's favorable action for permit.
Corp., a former applicant for this location, has now located at 6532 Penn Ave. So.,
has been granted a license for this Penn Ave. location by the Banking Commission,
and is no longer an applicant for the Southdale location. In his presentation, Mr.
Neville reported that other "commercial" enterprises plan to locate in the building;
namely, a shoe shop, a card shop, and a restaurant; and that obviously the ground
floor of the building has been planned for such commercial ventures.
that, if the firm is granted this permit, it will have no neon or Mher advertising
signs--just the name on the window.
evening if possible, in order that a location for Credit Plan's operations might be
presented to the Banking Commission at the hearing before it next Monday.
Council that the Medical Arts Building in Minneapolis, and a medical building in
St. Paul both house finance companies; that, although he does not have statistics
with him, it has been judged that between 25% and 30% of the Credit Plan's business
is for payment of medical expenses. Attorney Hasselquist was asked his opinion as
to the legality of allowing this type of business to locate in the Medical Center,
and stated that this is an administrative decision.
upon inquiry by Community Credit Corp. earlier this year, he had informed this
petitioner that he believed this useage was not "generally related I* to the
prescribed for the Medical center; that he is not yet sure that it is related in
the Sense of the ordinance. had been complaints from the other tenhnts in the Medical Center on this application

and replied in the negative. Trustee Bank, reminding the Council that a previous*
request by Community Credit Corp. for this same location, just six months ago, had
not received affirmative action by the council for the reason that it had not been
determined that this useage is proper.for the building, moved that this present
request be tabled and that the first petitioner be advised of it, so that both
petitioners might be given an opportunity to state their respective cases. He
stated he feels this is the only fair thing to do.
the importance to Northern Credit Plan of immediate action by the Council, explained
that inasmuch as Community Credit Corp. has now been granted a license for operation
at 6532 Penn Ave. South, and is already located there, that company can no longer
be an applicant for the Southdale location.
Dickson then moved that Council approve request of Northern Credit Plan,Inc., for
permit to locate on ground floor of Southdale Medical Center. Motion seconded by Tupa and carried, with Bank voting nay.
Manager reported receipt of Plan for "A System of Parks for Hennepin County",
submitted by Mr. Lawrence F. Haeg, Chairman of the Hennepin County Park Cbmmission,
together with its accompanying report; and Mr. Haeg's notification of a meeting on
the plan, to be held on Thursday, October 2, at 8:OO P.M., at Prudential Insurance
Company Auditorium, to discuss plan and report. It was arranged that Trustee Tupa
and Engineer Zikan attend the meeting.
