PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION FOR REZONING OF NELSON FARM RE-CONTINUED TO APRIL 20, FOR NOTICE ELATIVE TO NEW RECOMMENDATION BY PLANNING COMt.IISSION .. ldayor Bredesen announced Continuation of the March 16th Public Hearing on the petition of Metro: U.S. for the Rezoning of part of the Nelson Farm to R-4 Llultiple Residence District, Office Building District, and Planned Industrial District all in accordance with "Notice of Public Hearing" published in Edina-Mornings-ide Courier ilarch 5 and 12. Itjeeting an :explanation be made by Mr. Hite, Planning Director, first; that the Proponents then speak; and that the Opponents, then state their views. Planning Director George Hite reported that at the time petitioners were in the process of developing their plan for land use of the Nelson Farm the Planning Commission had considered with them the possibility that "PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT" use for the area described as "The N.779 Ft, of the S..1/2 of Sec.9,T.116,R.2l,lying- W. of a line described as, 'Beginning at a pt,in the N. line of said S1/2 of Sec.9 distant 650 Ft. W, of the E. line of said section thence SWly to pt. distant 1400 Ft. N. of S. line and.1000 Ft, W. of E, line of saida Section 9" would be as good a use for this particular land as R-4 Multiple Residence District; and that at a Meeting subsequent to the Public Hearing of March 30, the Planning Commission had reviewed the proposed land uses once again and is now recommending that this particular tract be rezoned to "PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT" rather than to R-4 Multiple Residence District . for the petitioners, made a most detailed explanation of the plan for the Nelson Farm, explaining also the ownership of the property-which is now in the name of 'IEdina Plaza Corporation1'. owned by Metro-U.S. in MetPo-U.S. as well as President of Edina Plaza Corporation. with the aid of a diagram the proposed Zoning Districts in relation to the planned Highway #lo0 Interchange, the zoning as far west as Cahill Road, and as far north as V. 70th Street. After saying that the developing corporation had attempted to acquire additional land after paying $775,000 for the Stowe property, but could not do so because of the high land value, Mr. Dblgren showed a topographic survey of the stow property, calling attention to the "peat problem", peat being $he prevailing soil condition in at least one-third of the area. had purchased their p$operties as "residential" property and with the understanding that the Nelson Fanm-was at least in part in "Open Development" District--that this new proposal for Nelson Farm would devaluate this fine residential area in Lake Edina. compared the distance between the closest .residence in the Lake Edina area to the closest office building in the Rauenhorst Development directly to the south (this being some 300 feet) Mith the distance between the closest resident in the Lake Edina area to the Metro office property across Highiqay #LOO--this being some 1450 feet; the distance between the closest Lake Edina residenee and Rauenhorst industrial being 1100 feet, whereas the closest residence to Metro industrial would be 1500 feet. Saying that several beautiful homes had been constructed in the Lake Edina Third and Fourth Additions since the Rauenhorst's deyelopment was approved some two or three years ago, Nr. Dahlgren told Council he can see no way in which this proposed land use plan can possibly devaluate these residential plats. He added that in the development and planning of the large park adjacent to. Highway No. 100, planners have bent over backward to promote as much space as possible between residential developments and commercial enterprises, development on the Nelson Farm would be $24,000,000--which would mean $475,000 in taxes going to the School District each year; and that because there are no children indicated in a development like this, this $475,000 is clear profit. ment is a reasonable one, is convinced the people behind it are sincere, have adequate backing and are capable of carrying out the entire development; that it is their intention to inmediately invest in the entire road system-and that this development should have no deleterious affect on any development in any direction. Mr. John Grant, 4604 Bruce Avenue, who described himself as Ita resident of Edina since 1952, with childred in the school system", spoke in favor of the proposal, saying he feels taxes are important; that, figuring that about 170 of the 192 acres could be developed as residential, 425 homes at $30,000 average valuation would mean an assessed valuation of approximatel$f,400,000, whereas industrial park would bring an assessed valuation of some $3,300,000, producing $350,000 in taxes on residential properties as against $795,000 or $800,000 in taxes on industrial; that a residential development would add some 720 children, 480 being student age, to the school sgstem, as against I 1-b. Bredesen asked that, in the interests of the orderly conduct of the Mr, Howard Dahlgren of Midwest Planning and Research, Inc., Planning Consultants Mr. Dahlgren explained that Edina Plaza Corporation is 80% He introduced Mr. Tony Bernardi, 7109 Cornelia Drive, and officer l4r. Dahlgren explained I At the last Hearing (Narch 16) , objections had been made that Lake Edina residents Mr. Dahlgren ' I As to the tax base, Hr. Dahlgren reported that the approximate valuation of total To end his presentation, Mr. Dahlgren told Council be feels this proposed develop- 3 /30/64 i-5 9 none for the industrial development; that 480 students would cost about $211,000; thus a residential development would mean much less benefit to the school district than the industrial development. Mr, V. R. Rooney, 4809 Roycar Road, who stated that while he does not live near the proposed industrial development, and can understand the views 05 those who do, he does believe that the over-all economy of the cornunity must be taken into consideration; that the llshot in the arm" the school district will get from this type of development should be seriously considered in evaluating iis effect upon the community; that without some additional development of this kind to help with the tax burden, residents are going to find it difficult to maintain the present standards for education, let alone raise them. in favor of the development. Mr. Clark Gilman, 4508 Gilford Drive, who stated his business is industrial and commercial real estate, said he purchased his present home on Cilford Drive in 1962, well aware of the industrial development proposed across Highway #loo-- or the need for it. He added he does not believe the development proposed will hurt him or the value of his home, and lis quite convinced that it will not hurt anyone whoalives on the east side of Highway #loo; believes it will be an advantage to the Village of Edina. owners of the land immediately to the north of the Metro tract, reiterated the plea made at the last Hearing, that Metro be required to provide convenient access for his client. He stated Ring is willing to pay its share of the cost of the road. way across the Metro property, the project for two reasons: development; and 2, the fact that the Council, elected by the people, has appointed a Planning Commission, which in turn has employed qualified planning consultants who have approved the project; thus, everything which could have been done has been done to assure that the development is proper for the Village, and he fekls the residents should get behind this and support it, Park because he feels that some place along the line this type of development must start; and he feels it is about time some of the citizens get behind the Council and make the thing work. Mr.Erick Erickson, 5905 Fairfax Avenue, said he believes it is necessary to the community that this area be developed industrially, Mr. John S. Phillips, 4525 W. 70th St., stated he can't see why, when the community has so much to gain by the development it. he lives in the Lake Edina area and has an unobstructed view of the Metro property; that, even if Highway 100 is upgraded as planned he will still have an unobstructed view of the commercial development; that there had been about 100 residents at a meeting the preceding Tuesday evening, to which the Planning Commission had been invited, and which three of the Commission did attend, along with Mr. Hite; that the Commission found it extremely clear that the residents attending the meeting were diametrically opposed to the Commission's recommendations, residents have not employed an attorney to place their objections before the Council, but will have rppresentatives of their resident group state these objections. He expressed himself as ' Attorney Louis Sachs, representing Ring Construction Company and Associates, He asked that F7,74th Street be extended from Highway #loo, all the ?3 23 0 Mr. John Hopkins, 53rd and Wooddale, expressed himself as being in favor of * 73 v 1, the tax benefits to be received from such a Mr. E.

Nelson Farm which was supported by the Lake Edina grouphs a year suppo a& ed now. Regarding soil conditions, he cited San Mateo, Calif., where an extensive area was filledfor the purpose of building homes-and many $26,000 to $30,000 were built onit. stated the physical property information at hand is inadequate for zoning information; that the Planning Commission has acted too quickly. Mr. Jones asked who actually owns the property under consideration,- He requested that the plan originally adopted for the area remain untouched. Mr. Jay A. HoJlmes, 4700 Phlox Lane, called Council's attention to a November 2, 1962 engineering study, which, he stated, indicates land in question is desirable for residential use; that this is not compatible with information provided by representative of the Planning Commission and Mr, George Hite; that there is strong evidence that this land is useable for residential construction, He added he is also concerned that after zoning the land residential the Planning Commission is now recommending an industrial use for it--that a hundred homes have been built'adjacent to this property. Edina under the assumption that the land across Highway 100 was to residentially ; that he is alarmed because this proposed industrial/wouf only the immediately surrounding area, but could lower property lralues throughout the entire community, As to adverse soil conditions, Mr. Stirat said he had contacted builders who have built many homes in Edina, that they tell him land for homes in Edina is becoming scarce and that they are interested in lots across Highway LOO but have not been contacted by Planning Comission or Council about this matter, He urged that Council vote "No" on the proposal.

Delaey, 6808 Dakota Trail, said that while he doesn't live in this particular present time, he is concerned with the industrialization Of Edina; he ~ area at believes it is a residential. community and should remain that Way; that Edina's good tax situation results from fact that we have had topnotch construction.of.residential building, zoning would open the Village to suit; that the Village has been sued by the Pearce sisters, who won their suit--but that the refusal to rezone the Pearce land has nothing to do with a refusal to zone the land now under consideration. Stating that Itwe do have a legal right to bring action if land is not zoned reasonably, Mr. Delaney said he believes this particular plan is arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable, and that Village would be subject to legal action if land is zoned in this fashion; that plan zoned some years agwwas accepted by the people* has completely reversed its recommendations relative to the property shown on the map as Open Development District, He reviewed at some length the events prior to the original zoning of the Nelson Farm, quoting from the "Gardner Report" of February 28, 1957, the recommendation that this land be zoned for residential purposes; then the deliberations leading to the partial rezoning in 1963, which the residential property owners in the area had learned to live with as an llacceptable compromise", contained about 500 signatures, Mr, Struck asked that Council honor this petition and vote "Nor1 on the proposed plan. while he is not an advocate of this particular project, never having heard of it until tonight, he has been through zonings in many places apd has found that whenever there is a petition to rezone, there are objectors, with residential owners believing their properties will be devaluated; and that this is simply not true, to the arguments this evening, he has heard no objection other than l1I don't like it"! that certainly Edina should have some industrial development which should be beneficial to all the taxpayers-and that he thinks the Council knows more about this than the objectors and should act accordingly. Mr, M, V, Stuart, 5108 Danens Drive, said he feels the Council's obligation is to preserve the character of Edina property, that industry has its place, but has no place in the midst of high class residential property, the varying comments relative to taxes, asked if the industrial development would be of help to the Edina-Morningside School system, replied that the net effect of the industrial development (higher real estate valuation, and no children) would be of benefit to the school district, said that while the approach of the developers has been cooperation rather than pne of legal rights, at the same time legal rights do become important here; that from a legal standpoint the property owner does have the right to use his property as he sees fit, subject to the greater right of the cornunity insofar as its health, safety and welfare is concerned. to be one of having to look 1400 or 1500 feet away at an office or industrial building, Mr. Skaar inquired as to how this could possibly concern health, safety or welfare. He added that everyone who looks at the Foshay Tower has the right to object because he must look at an office building, should this objection be considered valid. Mr* Stuart cited the traffic hazard at W670th Street and Highway 100 from just two sm9ll plants on W.70th Street; and an explanation of the proposed road pattern, separating industrial area and routing traffic to the Highway 100 interchange was reviewed, . be built on the property because he had put dirt on top of peat; that there is not one word of truth in this statement; that Estow Corp, didn't move any dirt on any peat and didn't change the terrain of,the residential property one bit. Hr, Holmes told Councii, "You have 500 signatures on an objecting petition, and a jampacked Councilroom tonight, and these are pretty good reasons why this proposal should be denied", and 14r. Struck added, "We have 52 homes around Lee Edina, which will devaluate once this Industrial Park is int1, Mr, Delaney cited Court ruling in Minneapolis on March 24th, denying petition for rezoning, even though petitioner made strong argument that rezoning would provide for the only economic use of the property, Question was raised on the future zoning of the area north of W.74th Street, and Mr, Hite replied it is only fair to state that a portion of the land will be zoned to something other than single family residential, and that this will.be.specially true as far north as 9-Mile Creek and over to Northern States Power. because Planning Commission has now recommended change in the proposed zoning to PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, rather than to R-4 MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT a new Notice of Hearing would be necessary, and consequently this Public Hearing would be COmmiSSiOn'S new pe&omm&ndations, I He added that residents have been advised that to prohibit indkrial .

Attorney William Whitlock reported that as he reads the contract with Estow Corporation, the Corporation does not have the obligation nor the right to pave Lake Edina Third and Fourth Addition Streets-that only the Village can do this work and assess same=-after the proper improvement and assessment hearings. This report was made as the result of March 16th action of the Village Council to continue PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED PERMANENT STREET SURFACING AND CURB AND GUTTER IN LAKE EDINA THIRD AND FOURTH ADDITIONS until this Meeting, after Mr. E. C. Stow ha$ informed the Council he.expected to have Victor Carlson & Sons, Inc., do this work under contract to tlia corporation. Mr. Whitlock stated that as he understands the matter, the Village is willing to amend %he agreement to permit Estow Corporation to do the work at their expense; that, accordingly, he has been in contact with Mr. Brill, and should have some report from him by.the next regular Council meeting, April 6. Mr. E. C. Stow told Council he can save $90 per lot by having the work done at the corporations expense; that he doesn't know why this agreement was changed from the form used in Lake Edina 2nd Addition, and that he can see no reason why the Village should object to his having the work done. Village Attorney Hasselquist told Council this present agreement had been changed because Mr. Brill, attorney for Estow Corp. had asked that it be changed.

ESTIMATE OF COST - $14,795.66, proposed to be assessed against the same 60 lots as are assessable for the Lift Station Sanitary Sewer, at $245.59 per Lot. Elanager Hyde told Council and large audience present that many private sewage systems have been failing in the Rolling Green area, and there are some vacant lots in the area which cannotsbe improved because there is not public sanitary sewer. He added that the watermain is being proposed at this time in order that the two improvements could be considered together ; thus saving future street replacement costs if water must be installed later. he said that they are a lrmustll if the streets are to be improved. 'Igravity" system for Sanitary Sewer at the last Public Hearing have now been transferred to the "lift station" system; and that this transfer has been made to effect the least total cost; that, however, there are some five lots which could be served by deepening the sewer, but that the total cost will be greater if this is done . of opinion about the Watermain Improvement, there is'no question in his mind but that the Sanitary Sewer problem is a definite health problem and should be so recognized and corrected; that he is also concerned with the storm sewer correction, so that streets can be improved. wha-are away, told Council the Sanitary Sewer proj-ect was 'before the Council at the time Nr. Clausen built his home; that subsequent to the Council's disapproving the project at that time Mr, Clauson put in a private system which is' working satisfactorily, and that lie has an excellent well, which has been tested and shows no pollution. He told Council Mr. Clausen feels it is unfair for Council to change its mind, now; and asks that because a11 lots on Rolling Green Parkway except Lbts 21 and 29 (at inter- section with Annaway Drive) are opposed to the Sanitary Sewer, this part of the improvement be eliminated. and 8. a. Haertel, 4812 Rolling Green Parkway. will look at his property (north part of Lot 241, they will find it is higher than the portion which it is stated can be served from Interlachen. for the proposed improvements will total some $5,150 on a parcel for which he spent less than $30,000; that he has no sewage trouble, no water trouble, no storm sewer problem; and the installation of the improvements would make selling his house difficult, that he would have to take a loss on it. As th the elevation of Mr. Bungaard's lot, Mr, Hite stated the break in the road occurs on the north part of Lot 24, with the area North of this break draining north, and the area south draining to Interlachen Blvd.; that this same situation exists on lqferilane , and other areas and Rolling Green Parkway south of Annaway Drive might not be included in the Sanitary Sewer Improvement, an estimate was made without these two streets--which would be $3,276.00 per Lot for the Lateral Sewer for each of the 47 remaining lots in the Lift Station area to be assessed for said Lateral.

Mr. Ed, Belanger, 4708 Annaway Drive, owner of Lot 47, reported that two He added that he has no years ago when these same improvements were being proposed by the Village he had indicated that the main problem was the storm sewer. problem with either sanitary sewer or water and is opposed to development of these two improvements in this area. Explaining in some detail the route taken by surface waters, Mr, Belanger told Council tfiat the 45 o)r 50 lots proposed to be assessed for this improvement are not the only contributors to the problem--that Meadowbrook Golf Course, Interlachen Golf Course, and the area directly north of Rolling Green a11 help to create this problem. the ponds; that he does feel that streets can be drained into the ponds and thereby improve the street drainage situation. He added that the over-all problem still has to be solved, and Maaager Hyde told Council that even a complete storm sewer would not solve the sanitary sewer problem. Mr. Herbert Lefler , representing Mr. W. Shelley Walsh, owner of Lot 11, Rolling Green Addition, filed with the council a memorandum "Objecting to the inclusion of Lot 11, Rolling Green Addition, in that portion of the Proposed Sanitary Sewer Project for Rolling Green to be served by Lift Station rather than Gravity Lines". told Council he had been told by the Engineering Department that the street grade breaks right at his client's property; that this property could be served by gravity line without "significantly"* raising the total cost, whereas the change from lift station district to gravity district would save his client some $1,380 according to estimate. also take Mr, Walsh's lot out of the storm sewer district. that this Lot 11 would still be included in the Storm Sewer Assessment because the drainage on the sur€ace is to the North. He added that elimination of this lot from the Lift Station area would raise the cost to the balance of the area. 14r. Lefler-told Council Mr, b7alsh is not opposing the Sewer--he simply wants it engineered so that he can be served by the gravity system. not objecting to any improvement which is necessary; that where there is any evidence of pollution, obviously something has to be done about-but that he takes the same stand as Mr. Holton as taken, being that the Sanitary Lateral Sewer is not necessary in Rolling Green Parkway; that the Storm Sewer and Lift Station should be installed if necessary, but that there is no need for watermain because each home owner has his own well, there is no evidence of pollution, and city water would mean a duplicate investment inasmuch as property owners would need their own wells to water their lawns, the Sanitary Sewer in Rolling Green Parkway, and defer the entire watermain project until there is a real need for it. in in the boulevard portion of the right-of-way, later, and Mr. Hite replied that there are so many trees he would call this installation ''almost an impossibility". number of his neighbors, told Council there is almost complete opposition in Rolling Green to installing water at this time. He asked that this be separated from Sanitary Sewer and Storm Sewer projects and deferred. and was told by Mr. Hite that this would depend on how much of the street had to be damaged to install the main. $1,500 50 $1,700 per lot, adding that if it weren't for the large bouleraard trees the watermain project could easily be deferred. Mr. E.H. Kinney, 4904 Rolling Green Parkway, owner of Lots 24, 25 and 26 asked that Council vote down all three projects, saying his lots would derive no benefit. should be done at this time, but objects to paying penalty for this project when non-assessed areas contribute to part of the problem. He requested that Rblling Green Parkway be eliminated completely from the proposal, from Interlachen to Crescent Drive . Mrs. Stanley Berglund, 4808 Bywood West, reported she had been in favor of the project when it was proposed a couple of years ago, but has spent over $2,500 to make their private system acceptable and feels it is unfair for Council to change its mind now; that the Raymonds and the Hawkinsons have the same thing. his private sewage system after last meeting. is a "must"; that private sewage systems are causing a public health pr?oblem;_that he .is sorry he did not vote for this improvement the last time it was presented. Mrs. Stenson, Bywood West, asked that the entire improvement-sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer be installed at this time, saying residents may well be faced with streets torn up again in the next two years, if they don't put water in now years ago, two years ago, and is opposed to them today; doesnlt need sewer and doesn't need water Mr. Hite replied that the proposed storm sewer will drain the streets into This memorandum was ordered placed on file.

George Townsend, 5121 Blake Road, saying he has no problem with his private disposal system, and realizes most of the problem is caused by the system of %he Sheas, added he has spent considerable money for his private system but feels khat the public sewer is inevitable and thinks it should be done. He told Bouncil his only question is as to whether the line must go way up -to Interlachen Road, or if it can be put in cheaper by going down the other way on Blake Road. bir* Don Hamilton, 5117 South Blake Road, owner of Parcel No. 2200, reported that Dr. Evans, owner of Lots 43 and 44, Auditor's Subdivision No. 325-south of this proposed project--is .going to need sewer for his large properties in order to subdivide; that if the sewer is deepened in Scriver Road Lot 36 can be served (Lot 36 is the Shea property); and that the length of the run from Lake Ridge Road down to the Evans property is 980 feet, whereas it is 1200 feet of run if constructed the way proposed.He added- that Dr. Boos, to the north, does not want the sewer.

Manager Hyde told Council the Sanitary Sewer Improvement has been initiated because of request for sewer, and because Village survey has shown some evidence of well pollution, He added that if the sani'tary sewer improvement is approved, it should be with the idea that residences be required to hook up within one year to protect wells. As to Watermain and Storm Sewer, Mr. Hyde said that from time to time there has been request for the Storm Sewer; that if improvements are to go in they should all go in before streets are rebuilt. insofar as the Watermain improvement is concerned, the only purpose of the main will be to provide city water to 4600 Meadow Road block, and one residence between W.78th and W.48th Streets; that this matter should be discussed by these people and no one else. On the Storm Sewer, Mr. Burdick told Council it seems a strange procedure to drain water from the private property of one person to the private property owned by 24 or 25 other residents of the area; that the White Oaks Improvement Association gained title to the White Oaks Meadow back in 1940, and have maintained it since; that it is inconvenient that surfac.e water be drained from the Grzeskoviak property to the meadow because this additional water will create a pool and public hazard, As to the Sanitary Sewer, Nr. Burdick said it is his understanding that this is a serious problem for a vewy few homes in the area, but that better than 75% . of the residents in the area, *and probably 90% of White Oaks Improvement Assn,, are satisfied $5,000 is/warranfed nor justified. are having troubles cannot correct their own private sewage systems--or why the sewer cannot be installed in such manner as to connect with the one on Townes Road. sewer, they all believe in maintaining a sanitary condition in the area, that they do ksant further consideration by engineers as to whether problem properties can be corrected in other ways, longer takes sewage, that he has had it pumped twelve times in the last three years; that a septic tank is no longer permitted, and he must install not only a drainfield but an aeration system; that he is much in favor of the sanitary sewer system. as serious as Mr, Heffelfinger's, he must pump his sewer system every three or four months; that while he is appalled at the cost, he is very much in favor of sanitary sewer. He added that his neighbor, Mrs. E, S. Platou, 4700 White Oaks Road, is also in favor. he believes he does represent some of the sentiment of his neighbors, and believes he and his neighbors are happy with their present sewer and water systems. address is 4607 Meadow Road. private sewer and water systems, the street from Mr. Grzeskoviak, said he is aware there is a little pond on Mr, Grzeskoviak's property, but that in 1962, a wet year, the property was not flooded, that the road has never been flooded, and that he can see no real danger or anything affecting community health in this little pond. property adjacent to an improvement equals the cost of the improvement, the Council is certainly authorized to assess the cost of the improvement entirely against the one lot; that if the Grzeskoviak lot is drained at great expense to all the people in the area, each of the presently vacant lots will be worth at least $7,500. the storm sewer improvement be dropped. The owner at 3904 W.48th Street, owner of Lot 16, told Council it would cost him $2,000 to connect to sanitary sewer, besides the assessment for the improvement, total being 75% of his original investment in the property, Mr, George Pierson, Meadow Road, informed Council that he and his neighbor, Mr. Rogers--both residents of Morningside, and thus able to either take advantage of these improvements or leave them alone-are in opposition to storm sewer and water proposals but "middle of the roaders" on the sanitary sewer.
