COUNCIL HONORS DEVCO PETITION FOR REZONING, SUBJECT TO AGREENENTS ON WATER SERVICE,
AND APPROVAL BY AIRPORTS COMMISSION AS TO HEIGHTS. Public Hearing Mas conducted
on the amended Petition for Rezoning from R-4 Multiple Residence District to R-5
Multiple Residence District and for setback Variances from the requirements of
R-5 Multiple Residence District, to permit the construction of two seventeen-story
apartment buildings on "Parts of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, SOUTHDALE ACRES", all as
set forth in the Meeting of April 20, 1964 Minutes (Page 97, This Book).'
presented Affidavits of Publication and Posting of "Notice of Hearing", which
affidavits were approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Neville, representing the petitioners, Devco, Incorporated of Columbus, Ohio,
produced a visual aid and explained the character of the surrounding property.
He reported that of the 22 acres involved in the Devco development, only 3.8 acres,
in the center of the property, will be used for the twin seventeen-story apartment
towers.
only a development corporation, but keeps and operates what it develops; that it
has developments in several large cities; that Dayton Development Company has sold
to Devco with the restriction that Dayton has right of approval or veto of
arthitectural plans, and Eirst right to re-purchase, should Devco ever wish to
withdraw.
the request for the two towers, Mr. Neville told Council he is well aware that the
Council had, on February 17th of this year, postponed action on Devco's request for
rezoning until such time as the two towers were nearer the point of construction--
and that Devco still does not intend to start its development with the construction
of the two towers; but that because the density has been reduced in the periphery,
on the grounds that the dengity could be varied in the over-all development as
originally approved by the Planning Commission, it is now necessary to know that
the apartments can be built, in order to obtain financing for the development; that
it is essential that developers know what is going to be done.
twenty-five years, who told the Council, in answer to questions by Mr. Neville,
that in his appsaisal work, not only in the Minneapolis-St.Pau1 metropolitan area,
but also in several other cities--Seattle, Houston, Toronto, etc., he has found
that where park areas are developed around high-rises, or where buffers are planned,
there is no affect--either adverse or favorable--on adjacent residential buildings.
He added that while this proposal is in line with current proposals aro
country, generally, 740 River Drive and Calhoun Towers are the only two/ Ag -rises
seeming to have the same general characteristics as are proposed, here; that he had
talked with residents in the immediate area of 740 River Drive, one of whom had
felt the apartment had no effect on residential values, another of whom believed
the apartment added interest to the area. He stated he had also talked with a
resident in Sunset Gables, who felt Calhoun Towers had no effect on valuation.
Shenehon said, too, that he had interviewed residents in the Southdale
residential area, relative to the "Golf Ball1' water tower; that Mrs. Sally Schaper,
6905 Dawson Lane, Mr, C. L. Timmerman, 6817 Southdale Road, and the real estate
agent selling the property at 6917 Southdale Road all felt that the construction
of this water tower had no adverse effect on the valuation of their properties.

the most effective Barriers which could be developed against encroachment on

Mr. Shenehon if, in Mr. Shenehon's expert opinion, the erection of high rise
apartments would have any adverse effect on the valuatiori of the residences North
of the expressway; and Mrm Shenehon replied that he could not believe, from his
investigation and research that it would have any effect whatsoever on property
values.
Mr. Benjamin Bermel, was next introduced by Mr. Neville, and stated that
as a real estate broker for about eighteen years he is familiar with the area
and was asked to take a look at this proposal and study it and (at question from
Mr, Neville) that he feels the high-rises will have no effect on the values of
the properties north of the Crosstown Highway;.that the high-rises will complement
the area.
statements as to sale by Dayton Development Company to Devco and the restrictions
placed upon this sale.
the Southdale development showed the area north of 66th Street as an apartment
development (this was in 1952-3); that later, in 1955, the Company came in with a
refined plan, which showed high rises in the area; that the matter of high-rises
in the location is no immediate surprise to the neighborhood or the Council.
Asked by I4r. Neville what he thinks about the effect high' rises will have on the
valuations of single family properties, 1-5r. Crear told Council the lots in Southdale
residential area doubled in value the day the plans for Southdale Shopping Center
were announced
Mr. Byron Ireland, Architect for the Devco project, showed a llskyline'l

1,000,000 Sq.Ft., the Medical Center, 70' tall, the Hospital, 100' tall, and the
proposed towers, 170' tall, then the other proposed apartments, and the residantial
buildings.

R-4 Zoning would be disastrous, here; that developers are attempting to make some-
thing more pleasant by striking a balance of densities; that they cannot do a good
job of renting the periphery apartments without the community facilities planned
for the center of the project; that he believes the towers will be a tremendous
asset to the area.
Village and the neighborhood will be enhanced greatly by the proposed plan as opposed
to the typical 2-1/2 story complex; that Devco is trying for better use of land and
higher value for apartments.

asked as to whether this area is in the Richfield School District. Answer, yes.
playgounds and lots of other things that have all disappeared in this area, asked
for answers to several questions relative to this proposal, and some questions
pertaining generally to the matter of rezoning for high rises.
As to this specific proposal, he asked (1) what consideration is being given
to the proposed restrictive o d' ance by the State relative to high rise structures
surrounding the airport: (2) &e~e there is a Village Ordinance, or a part of the
Building Code which requires booster pumps for high-risea; Saying he had asked for
a provision requiring booster pumps some time ago, Mr. Tupa suggested that such
provision be made a requirement now, before zoning is considered. As to the '
height restriction relative to airport, Nr. Hyde reported the Natertower had been
approved, subject to its having a light; and, as regards the booster pumps, Mr.
Hite replied that the building code does provide that adequate water supplies must
be furnished to each dwelling unit--which would demand installation of booster pumps.

blr. Hite reported to Council that the property within the drainage area now
drains toward the ponds at 8.64th and York Avenue--and the problem is how to get

Mr. Hite's recommendation was for approval of the first two projects, rather
than for the Alternate, because of the difference in cost.
As to Storm Sewer Proposal No. 1, Mr. Hite told Council that approximately
21,000 square feet in the Northeast corner of the proposed assessment' district
formerly drained to Heritage Drive-Barrie Road, and was thus assessed for Stom
Sewer Improvement No. 68, whereas almost a like number of square feet on the west
side of Barrie Road was not assessed for Storm Sewer No. 68, but now drains to it.
He recommendedthat some $1,600 in Assessments for Storm Sewer Improvement No. 68,
levied against the Peterson Tract, be cancelled and assessed against the &her areas
which do drain to this system and are not assessed for it; that this would eliminate
the possibility of assessment to the Northeast corner twice, and make the Devdo

Council, and Nr. Hite reported that the problem is more engineering than political;
that even if the County would give Edina its consent to go into the Crosstown sewer
by direct gravity, it just wouldn't work-that there is not sufficient capacity.
He added that the Adolph Neyer recommendation was to drain to the pond on W.64th

Sewer; now, we are pumping out of the pond, after storage, to the Crosstown. Asked

for it. At a question from the Council as to what the assessmentgwould be to'the
four lots contributing water he said about $.05 per Sq. Ft.
Mrs. Allen Peyer, 5516 Dundee Road, told Council she has water in her back yard

Council that area to the south of $5520 Dundee is being assessed for the N.56th St.

there has been a change in the grade; that he is dead certain that for the past five

Mr. Arthur A, Sehlin, Jr. presented a petition by owners of 34 of the 37 lots
in Walnut Drive, protesting the improvement in their street at this time.
Sehlin, whose residence is at 5921 Walnut Drive, told Council his neighbors had had
a meeting after receiving Notice of Hearing; had decided that because*of=the cost
and the fact that most wells in area are comparatively new, they do not want the
water now.
He asked how the people to the North of Walnut Drive would receive water when they
wanted it, and Mr, Hite told him the North area would be served from Sehlin's area--
but that this property has already been assessed for a trunk main; that the only
possibility for assessment would be against the Krahl property to the south--but that
a preliminary plat on file shows lots backing to Hwy.#169, which would preclude this
assessment.
Question was raised as to why assessment for watermain improvement is "so much
higher" in Edina than in other suburba.
suburbs provide from their Water Fund for part of the cost of mains; and that while
their assessments might be lower, their water rates are corresponaingly higher.
Mr, Sehlin informed Council that Walnut Drive property owners had received
notices from the Village AssessorP's office, raising valuations some $2,000 to $3,000
apiece--and tha-t this notice has helped them to make up their minds not to take the
watermain improvement at this time.
in this improvement without Walnut Drive, and Mr. Hite answered that it is possible,
but that then the "abnormal" costs about which Mr. Sehlin complains will all be on
the Gleason First Addition area.
Drive in the assessment area would not make as much difference in the assessable
cost as estimated; and another inquired as to how Walnut Drive will benefit from
the main in Gleason First Addition which serves one tier of lots. Mr. Bredesen
answered the latter quedtion by saying that this one tier of lots helps to pay for
the dead run down #169 and at Church.
Some discussion was had relative to the high cost of the Creek Crossing, with
someone from the audience advocating assessing a papt of this cost against the
property to the North of the proposed improvement. Mr. Hite answered that at such
time as the North property secures water there must be another Creek Crossing, to
loop the line.
that this property, too, is owned by Sime Construction Co., and is about the same
as Walnut Drive
it--Gleason Addition; and that pemaining area be assessed for only its portion of
the Creek Crossing and dead run--that the Walnut Drive portion be eliminated.
Hite suggested that Council authorize improvement in that portion of Walnut Drive
North of W.59th Street, saying there are a number of unimproved lots in this street
which will need the main. He said there are also two or three residences, here,
which already have wells; that he would recommend that assessment on the lateral
main be deferred until such time as there is a connection to the lateral, at which
time a connection charge would be paid in cash, equal to amount of total principal
assessment; the unimproved lots to be assessed on completion of project with
balance of the district.
There were no further objections from the audience, and Rixe'moved that
Watermain Improvement be approved as presented except for the Watermain in
Walnut Drive from Highway No. 169 to W.59th Street, and the Watermain in Highway
#169 between proposed Tamarac Avenue and Walnut Drive; that Council recognize

to a request by Hr. C. R. Carbon, 5121 Lake Ridge Road, who, in protesting the
approval of Sanitary Sewer, has decried its installation without watermain, thus
leaving the area open to a second street replacement cost at such time as water
must be installed. Mr. Hyde explained that actual service would have to wait
until such time as trunk watermain is installed in Blake Road-that there is no
possibility of water service now, and probably will be none for some time.
PIr, L, J, Regan, 5101 Lake Ridge Road, inquired about proposed assessment for

Question was asked about the report given some three years ago, when petition was
submitted for paving and curb and gutter, that there would be no further sanitary
sewer from the north--that .it would have to come from the south. Mr. Hite answered
that the properties on the West side of Zenkth cannot use this sewer because they
are too low--that the only reason petitioner's house can use it is because it can
be designed to the sear. Question was then asked as to why petitioner can't go back
to York Avenue. Nr. Hite said he believes this has been checked out and found to be
impossible.
Dr. Frances E. Schaar, 6120 Zenith Avenue inquired concerning 'future sanitary
