the reason this Public Hearing is being held is to give the owners of properties
abutting Xnnehaha Creek a chance to state their recommendations and objections,
inasmuch as they did not receive notice of the July 20th Hearing because they
will not be assessed for the project.
by Engineer Hite, who stated the Total Estimated Cost is expected to be $6,665;
the Village Share, $1,333; amount to be assessed $61.29 per Lot.
no objections made by those proposed to be assessed for the improvement; however,
Mr. Robert R. Bredt, 5616 Chowen Ave, So., presented a substantial petition, signed
by owners of properties and residents bordering isinnehaha Creek from France Avenue
to Xerxes Avenue, asking that the proposed project be rejected, and a letter of
objection, from Dr. 1J.P. Bjornnes, 5628 Cnowen Avenue, was read.
Council that while he and his ntXghbors understand they have no vested interest
in the Southdale air conditioning water which is now being diverted into i-linnehaha
Creek, it is only human nature to want to keep what one has; and the Ialinnehaha
Creek residents feel it, is unfair to take any water away from the Greek at this
time; that any diversi
that the Douglas Barr report clearly indicates that Idinnehaha Cree& will get no
less water than it is presently getting, and Engineer Hite added that the amount
of water proposed to be diverted into Lake Cornelia is almost exactly the amount
available from the new buildings in the Southdale complex; that the present flows
now flowing over the north wier are not high enough to trigger the Lake Cornelia
structure. Llr. Herrill Finch, 89 Woodland Circle, apologized to the Council and
to Br. Bredt for the concern he had previously registered over this project.
Saying he and two of his neighbors had met with Mr, Hite on the Thursday after
the July 20th Public Hearing, and had at that time become convinced they would
not be hurt by this proposal and I4innehaha Creek would have no less water than it
now has because of the proposal, he said he feels that the Village administration
is just as interested in 14innehaha Creek as it is in Lake Edina or Lake Cornelia.
Lir. Bredt stated he feels the area East of France Avenue will be hurt more than
that Vest of France, and tlr. Hite assured him that the poposed structure is a
simple affair and that it will be a simple operation to reduce or stop it if there
is some substantial effect on the Creek.

TEXTATIVE P.ROP0SALS FOR ENHANCEHENT OF CREEK OUTLINED. During discussion
about the Creek, Lh. Hite told audience that most of the water which keess the
Creek flowing is rain water, not air conditioning water; that some plans-are
being considered for the enhancement of the Creek; i.e, the enlargement of Lake
Pamela--which is comparatively easy because the Village owns the property--and
storage of the water from the entire Lake Harvey-Concord-School area, which now
drains directly into the Creek at approximately Philbrook Lane and is out of the
Village within an hour. Nr. Hite said this last plan will be more difficult to

17, Planning Director Hite reported that, as of July 1, the
Tlanning Commission had recommended that deed restrictions on approximately four
acres of the Edwards property, lying southwesterly of the proposed road, be
lifted--but that if petition were to be submitted for R-2 zoning on this property
it be denied. Commission's recommendation had been made pursuant to Ilr, Edwards'
request for the lifting of single family deed restrictions here,
Whitlock advised the Council that the proposed deed restriction €or the property
east of the proposed road does not protect the property to the East; it protects
only'the balance of the Edwards property, I4r. Edwards explained to Council that
it is economically unfeasible to build single family dwellings on the southiqest
four acres because of the topography, and also because of an involvenent
concerning sanitary sewer, He demurred at having to broaden the deed restriction
on the eastern portion of the property to protect residents outside his own area,
saying these people did not ask him what they should do with their property and
he sees no reason to ask them what he should do, but did agree to broaden these
particular restrictions at the request of the Council7
told that deed restrictions would be required for all of the Edwards tract except
that rezoned €or multiple dwellings, VanValkenburg moved that Council consider
the Edwards request for the lifting of restrictions at a public hearing to be

this area are too small; that the system must be re-designed and that this will
involve a new special assessment and the resultant public hearings.
