Hearing" and, pursuant to said Notice, Mayor Bredesen called this Hearing, being on
petition of the L.J. Cramers, at 5205 Minnehaha Blvd., for permit to convert a
garage and breezeway to living quarters, with a five-foot side yard setback, no longer
legal under terms of present ordinance.
Mr. Hite explained the Planning Commission had recommended favorably on the request
inasmuch as the other homes in this block had enjoyed the privilege of this setback
under old terms of ordinance, Blr. G.E. Carroll, representing Dr. and Mrs. Tudor,
next-door neighbors, presented the Tudors' objections, being - 1.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION OF C.K. KATTER FOR PERMIT FOR DOUBLE BUNGALOV AT 6224
BEARD AVE. Pursuant to Mr. Hite's Affidavit of Mailing of Notice of Hearing, Council
heard publicly Nr. Hatter's request for permit. There were no objections made at the
Hearing, and none had been filed prior thereto. Council reviewed Planning Commission's
recommendation for approval, member Griswold objecting. It was pointed out that the
property abuts the Crosstown Highway Service Road; that there will be multiple dwellings
across the Crosstown, but that this will be the only double on the North side of the
Crosstown in this vicinity--and Council evidenced concern that a precedent might be
established in allowing this one. Mr. Katter explained that because of the shape of
the lot he plans to build the double with one entrance facing Beard and the other
facing the Crosstown;'that he is building it as a buffer between his proposed one-
family dwellings and the Crosstown; that, had he any.idea that the double would be
other than a benefit to the area he would not think of building it inasmuch as it
would be his own property that would be damaged.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION FOR PERMIT TO MOVE*DTJELLING FROX 6301 SHERWOOD AVE. TO
6217 RYAN AVEZ
pursuant to said Notice, Nayor Bredesen called public hearing on this matter.
Hopkins, 6225 Ryan Avenue, led a delegation in protest, saying this is a two storey
building, not consistent with the neighborhood homes, which are all ramblers except
one; that the proposed site is a hill; approximately 15 feet higher than his own
lot next door; that this high house, located on a hill, would be a "sore thumb''
sticking up above the other dwellings. llessrs. Levander, LaGrandeur, Paul Swanson,
all added their objections, some being violent--and Mrs. E.H. Mahlberg.explained
that, although the home has been allowed to run down it is fundamentally a good
house--but just is not right for the neighborhood. Mr. Hustad, petitioner, stated
he expects to build a walk-out basement at the location, which made the neighbors
even more unhappy; and, after Mrs. Caswick, 6217 Pamell, had stated that the
neighbors had been hopeful of a rambler on this high lot, and Mr. Hyde had explained
that the Council cannot prohibit the moving of a dwelling on aesthetic grounds,
Trustee Beim asked Mr. Hustad if he would be willing to attempt to obtain a more
suitable lot for the house. Mr. Hustad was agreeable to making such an attempt,
Mr. Beimmoved that the matter be tabled.

"PLAYHOUSE" ON VALLEY VIEW ROAD AGAIN!DISCUSSED. Mr. and Mrs. Paul I?. Porter,
6776 Valley View Road, owners of the Playhouse, and Mr. Hugh Brenner, developer
of neighboring property and objector, were present to discuss disposition of
this matter. Council had ordered playhouse removed, on September 28, 1959, but
Mr. Hite told them there is no grounds for ordering this llaccessory building"
off the premises; that mover can be prosecuted for moving without a permit but
that such prosecution would not include removal of the building. Mr. Brenner
told Council he is objecting to the building because it is blocking the sale of
his neighboring property; and the Porters stated they want to keep it for use
as a playhouse for their small granddaughter.

Mr. Hite told Council that because the building is scaled smaller than that of
a regular dwelling there would be considerable difficulty in adding it to the
present home. Mr. Porter wanted some time to think about converting the
building to a garage, and matter was tabled by Council to February 29. During
discussion, an argument had arisen between Mrs. Porter and Mr. Brenner, during
which Mr. Brenner offered to re-purchase the Porter property at "what they paid
for it plus interest".

intent to have the ten cabs only in Edina but that he is willing to put on more cabs
as the need arises. llessrs. E. J. Irving and llaurice Hessian, Jr., representing
Suburban Yellow Cab Company, sole licensees in Edina at present, told Council that
Edina needs no additional cabs; that it cannot support them. Mr. Irving said that
nine of the sixteen Edina cabs also carry Morningside licenses at the present time.
Mr. Hessian told Council that Suburban Yellow's business has not been profitable to
this date,"due, somewhat, to acquisition expenses". Council asked that Red Bird
furnish Council with schedule of dates and names on requests for within-Edina
service during February and March, and that Yellow submit to Council detailed
information as to the scheduling of its cabs.

PARK BOARD-COUNCIL JOINT MEETING. At 9:05 P.M., the two Boards met in joint
session to review a comprehensive report by the Park Board, dated January, 1960,
and entitled "Edina Park Bond Expenditures Report and Proposed Long Range Park
Plan".
PARK BOARD RECOMMENDS LAND ACQUISITION. NOW'. Chairman Hibbert Hill of the
Park Board su~~.i-%zed,,the:.L-e~o'rt; stating that, besides being a review of the
expenditures made and to be made under the bond issue, it also sets forth a
program necessary to complete the various areas now acquired and the areas the
Board hopes to secure, for a reasonably complete park system. Emphasizing the
increase in Edina land values during the past few years, and the fact that
Edina land is being platted rapidly and is', in effect, becoming "not available"
for park purposes, Mr. Hill told Counci1,that Park Board is stongly recommending
that moneys be made available for land acquisition during 1960 and 1961.
asked that the Council make available some $160,000 during these two years for
this purpose. Report contains a list of the properties recommended for acqui-
sition, and a map showing their relation to other Village facilities.
of proposed land improvements during the year 1962 to 1969, inclusive, Council
agreeing , in the main, with the Board's recommendations, it being understood
that no major developments will be done until the -land recommended for acqui-
sition is all secured. It was explained by the Board that the improvements
contemplared by the report would bring all the presently-owned park properties
into a rather high stage of development, and will bring the proposed-to-be-
acquired parks up through Stage One (land grading, etc.).
COUNCIL MAKES FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR PARK LANDS PURCHASES: COMPLIMENTS BOARD
ON REPORT.
for an excellently written and informative report, asked what thought had been
given to the maintenance budget for the projected park system. He was answered
to the ef€ect that this particular matter has received the Board's very careful
consideration; that the Board feels that the growth of the Village will provide
sufficient additional tax base to warrant increased expenditures in this budget.
Dickson then moved that the Council appropriate $80,000 from the Liquor Dispensary
Fund for purchase of lands for park purposes during the calendar year 1960 and go
on record, now, as intending to provide another $80,000 for this purpose for the
calendar year 1961.

GOLF COURSE AT HAYS FARt4 TO BE'STUDIED BY COUNCIL.
Board's report of this evening, a report made December 15, 1959, to the Park Board
by Member M. A. Crinkley and entitled "Development of Hays Farm Park Property", was
need for a golf course in this area, and the revenue to be deprived therefrom, as
reviewed by the Council.. Some considerable discussion was had on the immediate
well as costs of development. Mayor Bredesen stated he feels that Council should
investigate ways and means of developing a golf course on the Hays Farm at the
earliest possible time, and it was so agreed, informally, by Council. Mr. Crinkley
was complimented on his study and report.

FEDERAL PLANNING GRANT REFUSED BY EDINA.
Edina can secure a Federal Planning Grant of $3,000 if Edina will meet this amount;
that, for $6,000 a "land use plan" and a "traffic plan" can probably be completed;
that application for the federal money must be made by February 1; that, if Council
wish& to apply, the recommended form of resolution should be adopted this evening.
Trustee Kohler at once evinced his disapproval of the proposal.
believes that this planning work does need doing but that i; should be a local
responsibility and at the local level, without federal aid.
agreeing, generally, with Mr. Kohler's "local responsibility" principle, stated
he feels that, now that the Federal Government has made the funds available, some
municipality will accept the grant and that Edina might as well be the recipient
o€ these funds. He moved for adoption of the Resolution applying for the grant,
but the motion was lost for want of a second.
Discussion was then had
as to ways and means of securing the land use and traffic plans, locally; and
Kohler moved that funds be appropriated for this function; then, before a second
could be had, he withdrew his motion in favor of a suggestion the Planning Director
and Planning Commission give Council a report as to just exactly what is needed
and.what the approximate cost should be. This latter suggestion was accepted by
the. Council.

beginning January 1, 1960. Appointments confirmed by unanimous vote of Council.
PARK BOARD MEMBERSHIP TO BE INCREASED TO NINE. Some discussion was had with
regard to membership on the Park Board, Mayor Bredesen suggesting that membership
be increased from seven to nine; and Trustee Dickson adding that membership might
be divided in its duties--€ine portion of the Board to be primarily responsible for
park acquisition and development, the other primarily responsibility for recreation.
This plan had been discussed by Council at a previous meeting.

start thinking about a new well, and about iron removal plants, so that b ids for
a new well may be taken in April; that an iron removal plant at this location
cannot be considered until the quality of the water is ascertained. He told Council
that one possible location for this well is in Highlands Park, Nest of Glengarry
Parkway, toward Interlachen Blvd. Supt. Woehler advocated getting rid of the old
building at Wooddale and providing room, there for a store room and garage space.
Asked for the approximate size of the building, he said he thoubht it should be
approximately 30x40 or 45 feet. Council did not take too well to this suggestion,
and Nanager stated he felt the Hansen Road well would be more centrally located
for these services. Mr. Hyde told Council he feels the best possibilities for the
proposed iron removal plants are the two wells near the School, building the plant
at the tower, and the new Hansen Road well; that we must check very carefully with
regard to the Southdale well because we are in the middle of the roadway and there
may be insufficient room for a plant, Mr. Woehler suggested that the iron removal
plants be constructed first; then, if it is felt necessary, the wells can be sunk
to the Hinckley strata; and Mr. Hyde stated that he, too, is coming around to this
thinking. He said that not much consideration has been given to the Halifax well
because it has only an 8" connecting main although there is plenty of land around
the pump house; that the Stow well ildesn't have backwash facilities.
Mr. Hyde reported he feels it is time to
