Asked if this matter were previously discussed with the Planning Commission, Mu. Brown replied that it was not--that he and his client had been at Commission meeting and had heard that the Commission approved plat with Park Board's recommendation; that there has been no request from fhe Park Board direct to the developer, for land. Mr. Bredesen stated he believes the proposed "creek" dedication is not sufficiently wide in certain places to allow public access; that this will merely constitute a ''maintenance" nuisance for the Village. He was informed by Mr. Hite that the developer had to develop in this manner to center his roadway on a previously obtained Village trunk sewer easement. Asked if there would be consideration of a 5% land dedication for park purposes, Mr. Brown told Council\he would have to confer with his client in this regard. Messrs.

This replat, submitted for the reason that developer is attempting to secure four lots in this area and still provide storm drainage basin easement, was submitted with Planning Commission's recommendation for approval of decrease in width in the original lots but ndt for decrease in depth from 160 to 120 feet. Reason for decrease in depth was the proposed re-routing of Highway 169, and reason for Planning Commission's denial of request was that the rou&k+-of the highway is not yet tied down. motion for approval of preliminary plat in accordance with Commission's recommend- ation (decrease in width but not in depth) was seconded by Beim and carried.

Mr. McClellan's attorney explained that the equipment tis stored, awaiting action by the Council approving the plat, so that McClellan may do the necessary grading on this tract; that he will be willing to move the equipment off the premises after the grading is finished, which should be around July 1.

Attorney Hosmer Brown and his client returned to the meeting at this time, Mr. Brown stating that he would like to submit this suggestion, with the idea that it is something that the developer will do, but no! as a condition for approval of the plat; that, if the Council is concerned with the maintenance of the creek area and yet willing to let the lot owners benefit by creek shore line, the developer will extend the lot lines in Block 1, Brookview Heights Fourth Addition back to the creek and will then dedicate an additional 100 feet to the East (beyond the present eastern line of "Outlot One"), Review of the previous-discussion was made for'Trustee Kohler, who stated he feels that this proposition should be referred back to the Park Board; that if they and the developer cannot resolve the matter, then there'should be a joint meeting of Council and Park Board.

Banister of Banister Engineering Company, St. Paul, presented a report dace$ December 11, 1959, entitled "Report on Water Supply". This report, detailed and -? comprehensive, gave six alternatives for study and investigation, as follows: 1. Continue with present system. 2. Hinckley sand rock formation. 3.

In its summary, the report states, "It is recommended, solely on the basis of economics, that the Village of.Edina not purchase water fromMinneapolis and not consider any program of softening because the cost of softening on a large scale appears greater than the cost of individual home softeners. erroneous assumption because the individual home softeners usually only soften the hot water and not all of the water used. undertaken together with obtaining water from the Hinckley sandrock. program will also correct some of the current problems in the existing wells." groups were present at the meeting to hear the report, and a long discussion on the various n'leans of treatment ensued. removal plahts at three of the wells--which would be supplying all of the water except at times of peak demand during the summer-and Mr. Banister replied that while this would be a very sound program to start-with, and would be a vast improvement, iron would still be going into the mains at certain times from the other wells; that there would still be staining in plumbing fixtures during the summer. Asked how long it will take to remove iron now in the mains, Mr. Banister replied that, even with installation of iron removal plants, the present iron ; would not leave the mains entirely for from one to-l% years. Many other pertinent questions were asked and answered, and discussion culminated in Trustee Kohler's motion that the Banister Report be accepted, that copies thereoz be made available to interested groups for study, and that Council ask for opinions from interested groups as to plans for remedying the present "red-water" problems, setting March 1, 1960, as the date for formulation of a program on which to proceed. . ~ &-"- *-* seconded by Tupa and carried. __- ... *>-$ :*--. . ...,..-- -.-.. ._** *.....- -..--* kc* " -e , ----p7 -.--, "-. - - Table of This may be.an A program of iron removal should be Such a Representatives of the Civic and Improvement Association and of neighborhood Mayor Bredesen suggested installing iron Motion was -I - I I- lm 1 I I i I I 1 I I I.
