REZONING TO COMMERCIAL. DISTRICT, PARCEL 702, SEC. 8, TWP. 116, R.21 (Tract
between Highway #5 and South Village Limits, South of Cahill Road-Highway 5

on the rezoning of its Highway No. 5 properties.
reported that he had attended the Bloomington Council Meeting this last
Friday evening; that, at this time Bloomington has no intention of zoning
neighboring properties along Highway No. 5, but that it does not commit
itself on future policy; that the,Bloomington Planning Commission feels very
strongly that this is and should continue to be a residential area; that they
draw the line for commercial rezoning at the railroad tracts, saying there
will be no commercial rezoning West of this line. Mr. Bill Pearson, 7831 E.
Bush Lake Road, once again protested against this proposed operation, as did
Mrs. O.P. Roemhild, 5601 W.78th St., and the delegation from Glasgow Drive.
Mr. Findley, representing Western Meat, Inc., told audience that there will
be no cooking at the plant; that meat will be brought in in carcasses, cut,
boned, frozen and packaged, and then trucked out; that there will be no
odor; that scraps will be hauled away daily. Council was reminded that
Planning Commission had recommended rezoning only that portion of the tract
which is to be used for plant and parking lot, and Tupa offered the following
Ordinance, moving that Council dispense with second reading thereof and adopt

meeting, Manager Hyde presented an Ordinance (No. 263) formulating Council policy
on the matter of assessments for utilties and street improvements. The Ordinance
was reviewed and discussed at length. Mr. Hyde suggested that the matter of
presentation of petitions and subsequent service be given some considerable
thought by Council. Stating that there will be about $300,000 available for
financing, now, Mr. Hyde suggested that the manner of serving petitioners be,
generally, on a first-come, first-served basis, but that Council try to serve
as many developers as possible with available funds.
during this discussion, stating he feels that the members of the Minneapolis
Home Builders Association have shown a lack of interest in these proceedings;
that he has four developments at the present time for which he wishes to file
petitions, but that he wants to be fair with the other developers and wishes
to enter petition for Lake Edina Continuation only, at this time.
Hyde told the Council that because the Village Engineering Department is
swamped with work on older petitions, and especially on street construction
and re-construction, petitioning developers must be patient with regard to
Village engineering services to be rendered--both actual engineering of
projects, and approval of the plans dram by privately-employed engineers.
Some considerable discussion was had on the matter of time to be allowed for
the filing of petitions.

produced; that the reservoir is being constructed so that peak demand can be met,but

Council compared the three plans, as to initial cost, immediate and future needs,
continuing charges by the Telephone Company, savings in labor, peak demands, etc:,
and it was the concensus that htr. Banisher be directed to prepare plans and speci-
fications for the controls in his plan No. 2, and that bids therefore be taken at

SPRINKZING SYSTEM AUTHORIZED FOR RESERVOIR PROPERTY. Mr. Hyde told council that
because of the large expanse of lawn on the reservoir lot, and because of the
considerations in getting neighborhood permission for this location for the
reservoir, he feels that the property must be well kept; that an underground
sprinkling system should be installed, now, during construction, if it is to be
installed at all.
$900 to $3,600, depending on type wanted. After some discussion as to the types
had by the High School and golf courses, Council directed that Mr. Banister work
with Phelps-Drake, Inc., contractor for reservoir, to submit a firm price on
installation of underground sprinkling system of the pop-up type as an extra.
