Saying that throughout the years the policy of the Planning Commission has been to use two-family and three-family dwellings adjacent to residential properties, Mr. Palen said he would have no objection to this use of the property, will make storm sewer construction necessary, for which the one-family dwellings in the area will be assessed, because the westerly lots are more shallow and the present pond between Valley View Road and Garrison Lane would have to be filled. Mrb Hite informed Council that there is now a drain from the pond; that this particular apartment willmot endanger the pond. There were no other objections registered, and none had been received prior 'to the Hearing. that several of his neighbors had not received notice, and Mr. Hite reported that notice was sent to owners of a11 properties within 500 feet of the site of proposed apartment, and that several property owners have talked with him concerning it. Mr,:'ViCtorsen asked that his petition be granted, saying he feels the lot is right for this use, that he has done a good job with the apartments he has already constructed in this area and that, if granted this request, will improve this neighborhood.

Bituminous Paving Association, presented a booklet illustrating Edina streets aid parking lots paved with asphalt paving. He asked that Council seriously consider the asphalt concrete bid--even if it is necessary to postpone award--saying that what the Council is attempting to do is of utmost importance in planning for the future; that if an informal effect is desired for Edina, then a natural shade material such as bituminous asphalt must be used. pavement were to cost a great deal more than Portland Cement Concrete, it would still be worth the difference to preserve the beauty of the community. representative of Portland Cement Association then reported that the difference of $1,700 between the two low b'ids should mean only about six cents per front foot difference in cost between Portland Cement and Asphalt Paving; that Edina.now has many beautiful concrete streets, which enhance the attractiveness of their neighbor- hoods; that he offers Portland Cement Concrete Pavement as the best pavement on the market. suggesting that new bids be taken. detail.

A question was raised as to Portland Cement Concrete's longer life, with request for the cost of maintaining Asphalt Concrete Pavement.

Mr. Hyde stated we have had difficulty with about 2,000 lineal feet, out of eighteen miles laid. In summing up bids, Mr, Rixe stated it is evident that unless we can go to a preponderance of PCC, we will have considerably higher assessable costs for both 100% PCC or 100% Asphalt Paving. all stating their preference for Asphalt Paving. Iqavaho Trail, Walter Weissinger, 6536 Navaho Trail, W.E. Mitzo, 6504 Cherokee Trail, and Mrs, E. L, Unger, 5508 Cherokee Trail, all spoke in favor of the Asphalt Paving. l4r. Jack Kaverly, developer of the Cherokee Hills area and ownersof more than 51% of the property proposed to be assessed, asked that if Council cannot see fit to award Cherokee Hills on a basis of Asphalt Pavement it be dropped from this improvement, andbids taken on Asphalt Paving for it alone. fir. Gerald Shuster, 5512 Wardem Avenue, inquired again as to arrangement with A. W, North Construction Company concerning payment for street surfacing; and Mr. J. M. Rud replied it is his understanding North will be required to pay the cost of Asphalt Concrete with Curb and Gutter; that property owners must pay the difference between PCC and Asphalt Concrete if they want PCC and it is higher than Asphalt. Mr, Wegner concurred in Mr. Rud's statement. At one point in this diScussion relative to Edina Parklands street surfacing, 14r. Rud stated that property owners have no real preference, but that if exceptions are going to be made by the Council, this area would prefer to be dropped €rom this pDoposal and bid alone; then, later in the evening stated that if the differen ce in cost is less than $1.00 per assessable foot, the area would prefer Portland Cement Concrete over Asphalt Paving. reason for assessing streets on the total cost of all streets; asked why streets cannot be assessed individually. all concerned are received when bidders can bid on large quantities. Larson maintained he feels it is unfair to be assessed for somebody else's project . Mr, Telfer, 5717 Hawkes Drive, told Council that for the same price he would much prefer Asphalt Paving. that Asphalt driveways have proved to be unsatisfactory; that he wants PCC pavement--to which Mr. Telfer replied that specifications for asphalt streets are stronger than those for mere driveways. of "concrete all the way".

Mr. Ostlund, 6301, saying he had been waiting for bids, stated his preference for Asphalt. Mr. C, Peterson, 6345, asked for a street, and for paving of Asphalt. Mr. J.W. Magoffin, 6340, asked for Asphalt. One man spoke up to say he doesn't care which surfacing is used; that he wants a street and does not want Warren Avenue left out. Engineer Wegner recommended that Portland Cement Concrete be used in Warren Avenue because of the increasingly heavy traffic load this street will bear until such time as the Crosstown Highway complex is completed. Hills and Hawkes Drive-Hawkes Terrace areas and Warren Avenue and Weather Lane are paved with asphalt the cost for this improvement would be approximately $11.25 per Assessable Foot, and for the balance of the streets, if paved with Portland Cement Concrete Paving, the cost would be $10.41 per Assessable Foot. Mr. Herman Gross, 5708 Hawkes Terrace, speaking for himself and Mr. Bruce Larson, stated the Hawkes Terrace property owners would just as soon have Portland Cement Concrete. petition for this area was for Asphalt Pavement and he feels it should be honored. I%?, Rud recommended that Edina Parklands go Portland Cement Concrete and that all other areas do the same, stating that this way the improvement will cost a11 a lot less money. He added this is the basic reason the Village is taking the 10% subsidy Mr. Tupa told audience that Edina's experience in some areas where PCC types of surfacing; that, ideally, bids should be let on either There was a good sized delegation present from the Cherokee Hillst; area, Messrs.

VanValkenburg moved that Commission's recommendation be accepted and action on this proposal be delayed accordingly. Attorney Josiah Brill, representing Mr. E. C. Stow, stated the proposal has now been before the Commission for many months, that in accordance with requests by the Planning Director and Planning Commission his client has spent about $3,000 employing Planning Consultants and Market Researchers, that contract for purchase is about to come due; that a petition of some 68 people, assenting to the proposal, has been presented to the Commission, and that he sees no way in which this plan will conflict with provisions of the new ordinance, and honestly hopes the Council will approve the plan now. Planning Commission Chairman Todd' told Council that the Cornmission has spent considerable time on ordinances this past six or eight months, including this proposed Planned Commercial District revision ; that the Commission would like to avoid haphazard commercial development in Edina, and is convinced it can do a better job with this new ordinance. added that without going into the merits of the Stow proposal there are some members of the Planning Commission who are not convinced that this particular place is one desirable for a community store area. objection. Saying the Commission has no desire to delay, Mr. Todd told Council he is sure there is no urgency on the part of people to be served, for these services. Saying it is his sincere opinion that the best interests of the Community will be served if the Commission takes its time and does the job right, and then relates the provisions of the revised ordinance to the application, Mr. Todd asked that . action be delayed.

Mr. A. A: Teeter, Jr., 4500 Drexel Avenue, asked that Council follow through on its plans for two additional wells--and secure more, if necessary to eliminate the annual sprinkling bans. It was explained that Edina's difficulty results in the great disparity between the volume of water used per day during 95% of the year (for which the present system is entirely adequate) and the great volume used for sprinkling during the summer dry spells--this being the highest per-capita volume in the country; that the Council feels it is impractical to burden water users with high rates year- around for the privilege of full-time sprinkling ten or iwelve dagSvr$gh year. Telling Council he would be willing to pay higher rates2 &5°?,daer sald he believes that taxpayers may be paying as much in repairs for ruined lawns as they would be paying in increased water rates.
