( Katter , representing petitioner, presented to the Council copies of petition
for rezoning, in which were contained some special reasons which in the opinion
of petitioner are cause for Council to rezone; namely, 1. This is the only lot
between France and Xerxes Avenue along the Crosstown which has a predominance
of frontage on the service road: and 2. Because of its predominant frontage on
the service road rather than on Beard Place, cost of utilities extension etc.
has made the lot too expensive on which to build a single family dwelling.
Xr. Cornelius, 6225 Chowen Ave,, presented a petition in objection to the
petitioned rezoning, signed by owners of some nineteen residences in the
immediate area, objection being on grounds that - 1. entire area is presently
zoned for single family residences, and present residents understood it would
remain so: 2. Area of lot is absolutely minimal for double bungalow: 3.A
double bungalow would not only detract from appearance of area but could
result in reduction in property values,
and VanValkenburg moved that petition be denied, in accordance with Planning
Commission's recommendation.

intelligent and unselfish service to the Village Government, the Edina-
Morningside School System and many civic organizations:

that the Public. Park now known as Wooddale Park be renamed HAROLD C UTLEY PARK
to memorialize for all time the distinguished public service of Harold cb
Utley, and that a plaque be erected in the Park in his honor,"
Trustee VanValkenburg suggested that many residents have felt that some memorial
should be made to Mr, Utley, and that naming the proposed new Edina library in
his honor is being-considered,
that the matter of a memorial be postponed until library plans are formulated.
Mr. Paul Latham, long-time civic Leader and friend of Mr. Uthey, told Council

golf course.
similar to the names of other nearby courses, that others, such as "Valley View"
would lead to confusion at such time as the Valley View Junior High and Park
are developed; that it is felt that "Braemar", a Scotch name meaning "height
of the mar," or "high spot" , is appropriate because of the exceptionally high
hill in the park. VanValkenburg's motion that Park Board's recommendation be

"li'00DDALE PARK" RENAMED "HAROLD C. UTLEY PARK". Park Board Chairman Stevens
presented to the Council &he Board's "Resolution for Renaming Nooddale Park",
as follows:
RESOLUTION FOR RENAMING WOODDALE PARK
"WHEREAS, the late Harold C. Utley during 40 years of residence in the
Village of Edina made an uncommon contribution to the public good through his
intelligent and unselfish service to the Village Government, the Edina-
1-lorningside School System and many civic organizations:
"I?OW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
"THAT the Edina Park Board does recommend to the Edina Village Council
that the Public Park now known as Wooddale Park be renamed HAROLD C UTLEY PARK
to memorialize for all time the distinguished public service of Harold C,
Utley, and that a plaque be erected in the Park in his honor."
Trustee VanValkenburg suggested that many residents have felt that some memorial
should be made to Mr. Utley, and that naming the proposed new Edina library in
his honor is being.considered, and that for that reason he would recommend
that the matter of a memorial be postponed until library plans are formulated,
blr, Paul Latham, long-time civic leader and friend of Mr. Utley, told Council
it is felt that renaming Wooddale Park in Mr, Utley's honor is singularly
appropriate
Utley helped to save this land for a park when owner had plans for other uses
for it,
of tribute to Harold C. Utley, and that Wooddale Park be renamed "HAROLD C.
UTLEY" PARK.
for the reasons that it is close to the UtLey residence and Mr.
Rixe then moved that Council joiqwith the Park Board in its expression
I4otion seconded by Tupa and unanimously carried.
HAYS FARbf PARK AND EDINA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE TO HAVE NAlIE OF "BRAEL.lkR"*
Chairman Stevens reported the Park Board, after considerable deliberation and the
study of the several names suggested for Hays Farm Park and the b2unicipal Golf
Course, recommends the name of "BRAEMAR" be adopted for both the park and the
golf course.
similar to the names of other nearby courses, that others, such as "Valley View"
would lead to confusion at such time as the Valley View Junior High and Park
are developed; that it is felt that "Braemar", a Scotch name meaning "height
of the mar," or "high spot" , is appropriate because of the exceptionally high
hill in the park. VanValkenburg's motion that Park Board's recommendation be
accepted and that Hays Farm Park and Municipal Golf Course be named "BRAELIAR"
was seconded by MacMillan and carried,
