PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED REZONIRG FROM OPEN DEVELOPhWST DISTRICT TO OFFICE EUILDIKG DISTRICT - LOT 4, BLOCK 3, EDENKOOR ADDITION. This Public Hearing was conducted pursuant to "Notice of Hearing" published in Edina-Morningside Courier December 31, 1958 and January 8, 1959, posted on official village bulletin boards January 2, 1959, and mailed to owners of property within 500 feet of affected property. Hearing was instituted upon the petition of MS. Ralph Overholt, for the rezoning of this lot for the purpose of constructing an office building thereon; and was a supplement to the public hearing held on October 27, 1958. Messrs. Maurice Hessian and Overholt presented their case for the rezoning, by showing pictures of the property proposed to be rezoned, together with the neighboring community store, commercial and resi- dential property. an insurance business employing few people and having very few customers calling the traffic at this point will not be aggravated; that the building should prove to be an excellent buffer between community store-commercial and residential properties and should add to, rather than detract from, the attractiveness of the area. Mr. Desmond Pratt, 5241 Richwood Drive, led a delegation of some 30 neighbors, protesting rezoning on grounds that - 1. It is not the function of the Council to find a use for this property; 2. There is no community need for this business; that Sherwood Road is the only entrance to the Richmond Hills residential area; 4. That because of the bad existing traffic pattern at the Shernood-Highvzy #169 corner, an additional business would further endanger children getting school buses, and vehicular traffic entering #169 from Sherwood Road. Johnson, 5338 Sherwood Road, whose property abuts the proposed of.fice building on the South, stated he does not want a commercial enterprise so near his residence; that it will devaluate his property, and that he will be able to see the building from his windows, which will be unpleasant to him. Francis McGuire, 5333 Hwy. #169, whose property also abuts the proposed office building, objected to further encroachment of business upon residential properties; stating he believes Sherwood Road should be the buffer line. Frank Larson, 5244 Richwood Drive, reiterating Ab. McGuire's statements, added he feels Sheraood Road is not sufficiently wide to take any additional traffic or parking. Mr. H. R. Reinhardt, 5240 Richwood Drive, stated he believes this property could be put to a better use to effect some control of traffic. On rebuttal, Mr. Hessian stated that petitioners are completely agreeable to the establishment of a no parking zone on Sherwood Road; and Mr. Overholt stated that the "ridge" on the property will remain, to a great extent, and that there will be planting on the ridge, to screen the office building from residential property. property for their ovm uses; and I&. Pratt replied they would be willing to consider the matter, and promptly. At a question from Mr. Bredesen as to whether he would be willing to sell, Ab. Overholt's reply was, "Perhaps, for a price." Considerable discussion was had by Council and Mr. Overholt as to the placing of the building on the lot, placement of entrance drives and parking lot. ltlayor Bredesen then told the audience that, contrary to hk. Pratt's first statement, the Village Council does have the problem of finding a use for the property, because of increase in tax base; that, unless this use is made of the property there will be continued hearings on rezoning petitions, for the reason that the property is not adaptable to residential use; that, in the Council's opinion (and that^ of the Planning Commission, which has recommended favorably on the petition) this type of building will be less objectionable to neighboring residents, and will offer more in the way of taxes without services than any other type. District, with the understanding that there will be no entrance or exit from Sherwood Road, no parking on Sherwood Road, and that ridge will be retained and landscaped, was seconded by Beim and unanimously carried. Dickson then offered the following Ordinance, moving that Council dispense with second reading and adopt Ordinance as submitted: They told the Council that because the building will house 3.

HE!$lIiJG eAh!CRLED. county Engineer was present, and heard Manager Hyde explain that, because a large portion of the property within the drainage area for the proposed County Road No. 18 Storm Sewer consists of a cemetery and thus cannot be assessed, the assessable cost of Edina's share of this trunk sewer project would be approxi- mately S.0314 per square feet; that the project, together with the laterals necessary to take the water from the low alleys as well as the streets would be about $.OM per square foot; that laterals without alley pick-up would be only slightly less--$*063 per square foot. that this area has neither the highest tax base, nor residents of the highest income bracket; but that it would have the highest storm sewer cost, were the project to be initiated. hearing on the project, affected property owners be given the particulars by letter, so that they could some to some conclusion as to whether they wish the project. Mr. McKay reminded the Council that, unless Edina goes along with the county at this time, the County will build its sewer sufficiently large to accommodate only the County Road #18 drainage; that, should Edina wish to construct a storm sewer at a later time, it must do so entirely at its own expense. Mr. Zikan reported that it may be possible, if Council wishes so to act, to get gas tax aid for some of this cost; and some discussion was had on this. Also, it was noted, some of the problems arise from the wash to County Road 18 from Edina streets, and it was thought this could be remedied by surfacing these particular streets. Mr. Hyde as to the urgency of the project Mr. McKay replied that Hopkins is anxious to have it done, and that County hopes to have it completed within the year to serve its new county shops. It was agreed by council that a letter should go out to affected property owners, informing them of this proposal and requesting their sentiments as to construction; that Village will attempt to inform County within a month or six weeks as to the results.
