amount of $21,500.
saving can be effected by having our own dirt hauled, rather than taking bids on
hauled fill; and Mr. Brauer replied he believes bids should be taken both ways.
There was some discussion, but no formal action was taken, inasmuch as the Park

reported that Court-appointed appraisers have awarded Rlr. Schuler, 5217 Richwood
Drive, $1,700; and Mr. Dobbelman, 5213 Richwood Drive, $1,300, for a sanitary sewer
easement through their properties. Ab. Hyde stated that this award is higher than
it was expected to be; that some reasons for the large award would be the close
proximity of the easement to the housesg and the removal of a tree. Irk. Dobbelman
stated appraisers knew there would be winter digging and resultant problems with
settlement. Manager Hyde asked Council's policy on appeal of this award, and
matter was discussed, with Mr. Hasselquist advising that if matter goes to a jury
the outcome is always uncertain--that award might possibly be higher than the present
one.

14ULTIPLE RESIDEKE DISTRICT SECTION OF ZOMING ORDIXAXCE REFERRED BACK TO PLANNIPJG
COk~.lISSION FOR CLARIFICATIOI:. Mr. E.C. Stow's plans for two apartment buildings
at 70th and France, on Lot 1, Block 2, stow's Edgemoor, wereikhe subject to some
considerable discussion.
"land coverage" requirements of the Multiple Residence District section of the
zoning ordinance are met and exceeded--that one-bedroom units will contain 650
square feet; two-bedroom units, 880 square feet; and that only 19;: of the land
will be used, whereas the ordinance states 307g may be used--but that the ordinance
requires no more than 32.74 apartments on this area, whereas hb. Stow's plans call
for 34 apartments; also, that there is the problem of vfhether or not to require
Mr. Stow to divide his property by plat. Planning Commission recommendations of
December 3rd were reviewed, in which. it was noted that the Commission looks with
favor on the plan, deeming the extra two apartments reasonable inasmuch as only
19% of the land is used*
that he might proceed with project, but he tvas informed that such formal approval
cannot be given until the ordinance is clarified. Trustee Tupa suggested that the
'lfour-plex" section of the ordinance might be treated differently than the "apartment"
section. Mr. Lyle Landstrom of Thorshov & Cerny, Architects, explained details of
planned construction. Bank moved that Council indicate preliminary approval of
plans as presented and that Council refer "Llultiple Residence Section" of the
Zoning Ordinance back to the Planning Commission for its recommendation as to the
elimination of the two problems experienced by Mr. Stow--maximum unit requirement
and matter of platting.
Hasselquist stated he believes that the "Multiple Residence Section'' carries no
provision which requires platting for the construction of more than one building
per lot.

REQUEST FOR PREVEIJTIOP! OF LOT SUBDIVISION DISCUSSED.
Council find way to prevent the sale of part of a building lot to add to the footage
of another lot; thus leaving a portion of a lot for building purposes. He cited
one instance in which an especially large double boungalow is being constructed on
one lot plus an additional several feet, leaving room for only a small double on
the remainder of the one tract. Matter was discussed, but no action taken.

H1GHi;'AY NO. 169 RELCCATION PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVED. ME. LIcCubrey of the State
Highway Department was present to discuss with the Council the State's preliminary
plan for the relocation of Highway ;!o. 169 from County Road 18 to Hansen Road. This
plan had been reviewed by the Planning Commission at its meeting of December 3, and
prior thhereto, and the Commission had gone on record as not favoring the plan. The
Commission's reasons for its reconmendation, and Mn. McCubrey's arguments for the
plan, given to the Council at this meeting, are hereinafter set forth:
.- 12/3/58
1. Planning Corn-ission - Proposed route does not serve Edina; only about one-
quarter of Village would have direct access to it. IvIr. McCubrey - One of the pur- '+
poses of the new route is to divideap the traffic, which the State feels will not
be accommodated by Highway #loo; consequently, the diversion of through-traffic from
Highway #lo0 will be an aid in serving Edina traffic.
Planninq Commission - As a State route, #169's main purpose is to
accommodate through-traffic, and since this traffic has its origin outside Edina,
Commission sees no need to carry it through the Village.
Department feels that new Highway #169 will give through-traffic a definite route
to get through the Village--the traffic will go through the Village some way,
whether or not it is accommodated, but a definite route will make travel safer.
Planninq Commission - Village has already given approval for Hennepin
County plans for Crosstown Highway and for improvement of County Road No. 18; and Commission can see no sound reason why additional tax monies should be
expended on a new highway when these two county projects could be used.
Mr. McCubrey - These two highways are not in the traffic corridor, and will not
take care of the traffickwhich would use Highway #169.
'

Mr. McCubrey - Highway

4. Planninq Commission - If it is proven that anticipated Highway #169
traffic could not be routed on either county Road 18 or the Crosstown, then State
should consider the re-alignment of 165 by widening on the south, with a frontage
road from Gleason Road to Doncaster and that alighment be carried on Eden Avenue
and a cloverleaf be considered at Eden and Highway 100 with a half diamond on
50th Street north of Highway 100. Mr. McCubrey - This route has been considered
and abandoned, for the reasons that this route would take 14 of the 22 acres
of Our Lady of Grace Church property, and Highway 100 could not carry the
traffic dumped into it at 50th Street.
5. Planninq Commission - Highway #lo0 north of 50th Street should be
improved to a level parallel to the remainder of the proposed construction south
of50th Street.
1960, but trunk highway monies are coming through very slowly.
Mr.-McCubrey - State had hoped to get Highway #lo0 improved in
6. Planninq Commission - Under proposed routing for Highway #169, approxi-
mately 100 acres would be required for new right-of-way, which could conceivably
contain approximately 150 to-200 homes of $25,000 average value, meaning that tax
base could be reduced some 3* to 5 million dollars. Mre McCubrey - Sould we
relocate anywhere else the amount of land taken would be the same; there are
very few homes now located in the proposed right-of-way, and some of the area
is swamp.

The Council queried Mr. McCubrey about the route North of Hansen Road, and he
stated it is expected to generally follow Northern States Power Company's highline
into St.Louis Park; that plans have now been changed to relocate farther away
from new Asbury Hospital; that #169 will cross Wayzata Blvd. at Penn Avenue.
Asked about consideration of a plan for widening #169 to the South, Mr. McCubrey
replied that the area Morth of Hansen Road along the present route is so highly
developed that this plan has been abandoned.

St. Louis Park refuse approval of the proposed route in that city, and Mr. McCubrey
replied that although the Highway Department would prefer to have the entire route
approved, the #lE-Hansen Road portion of the right-of-way would probably be acquired;
but that, inasmuch as this is a preliminary plan only, the building would not take
place until St. Louis Park has approved.

However, Mr. McCubrey requested adoption of resolution approving preliminary plan,
stating that the Highway Department is anxious for Council action. It was noted
that the persons owning property in this general area have been kept on the fence
for quite some time, being unable to plan for their properties; and Bank offered
the following Resolution and moved its adoption:

made by the Village as to the location of the reservoir, the character of the work

that Village water be furnished to him; and, while the other guarantees imposed

property only so long as the Gross family is in residence there, Manager Hyde
was instructed to confer with Maynard Hasselquist as to the proper way to make
these guarantees--whether by contractual agreement or by deed restriction. Mr.
Hyde reported that Consulting Engineer Bannister has made a firm recommendation
for award of contract to-the low "Total Job" bidder, Phelps-Drake Company, at
$2759473.00. He explained that the dirt will be hauled to the Hays Farm, over
a route pre-determined, and known to the bidders at the time bids were submitted.
(Gunnar I. Johnson had bid lower than Phelps-Drake on the "Lump Sum" price, but
higher on the hauling, making the "total bid" higher than that of Phelps-Drake).
