Improve the traffic circulation system. 2. Encourage and simplify the creation of a unified shopping facility by private interests. 3. Enhance the appearance of the area. Mr. Hite explained that two years ago a petition was received from Mr. Dick Enroth and others asking that something be done to improve this area. Subsequent study has included conferences with merchants and property owners, a consulting engineer in traffic, a civil engineering consultant, a landscaping consultant and with lighting companies in the area. There has'been considerable cooperation with the State and County Highway Departments. Mr. Hite showed the relative size and Location of other shopping areas with respect to the Grandview area and indicated probable trade areas. He presented drawings showing the plans of the Planning and Engineering Department for improvements in the area. Mr. Hite referred to the four page dittoed mailing dated January 15, 1965, which had been mailed to each property owner and most-of the commercial tenants in the area. This mailing included a letter of explanation, an "Estimate and Proposed Allocation of Costs," a suggested Assessment, Method, and a tabulation of the properties which would be assessed and the amount of actual and adjusted area proposed to be assessed. A copy of the mailing is attached to and made a part of these Minutes. The total estimated assessment was computed at $0.17297 per square foot of adjusted area.

Eli i 1/25/65 Mr. Don Donovan of Donovan's Furniture Company questioned how this would affect access to his property, and was advised that this matter would be included in the Highway #100 Improvement design consideration. Mr. Jack Rixman of the Kroger Company questioned the width of driveways into adjoining properties and the location of such driveways. Mr. John Kolb of Shell Oil questioned the fact that plans did not show an exit from the street to their property at 5201 Vernon Avenue. Mr. Doug Olson asked about the possibility of dead - ending Hankerson Ave. and leaving W. 52nd St. open for access to Highway 169. Mr. Robert Soelberg of Bob's Brookside Service, 5200 Interlachen Blvd., questioned possible assessments in relation to a proposed bridge and also questioned access to his station. Mr. Virg Edwards of Pure Oil questioned how a customer would be able to go north after leaving his station at 5100 Vernon Ave. He would like to have Summit Ave. retained as a through street. Mr. Harry Brooks of Standard Oil suggested the possibility of changing the crossover on the median strip to give better access to the Standard Station at 5209 Vernon. In response to all of these questions, Mr. Hite stated that each would be considered on an individual basis, and that he would meet with merchants and property owners individually in order to attempt to develop a satisfactory solution to any particular problem. Mr. Rixman questioned the proposed method of assessment, stating that he did co not consider it quite fair. He suggested that it might be fairer to assess M each property on the basis of its "actual" area rather than the proposed e, "adjusted" area. -!Z4 Mr. Hyde stated that improvement projects have to follow state law, and that by the time the assessment hearings are held, two of the Council Members may have changed. He further pointed out that the proposed assessment basis was only a tentative one, subject to change. Mayor Bredesen commented that the suggested Village (gas tax) share of the project cost seemed very liberal in relation to the portion proposed to be assessed, and suggested that this matter be given further consideration. There being no further objections or discussion of the proposed improvement, VanValkenburg, noting that there are various details to be worked out and approval of County and State Highway Departments as to their shares of costs being pending, offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT PERMANENT STREET SURFACING, CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER, STREET LIGHTING, RAILROAD BRIDGE WIDENING, LANDSCAPING,, SIGNING_, TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT #E -19 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, VILLAGE OF EDINA, MINNESOTA, that this Council heretofore caused notices of hearings to be duly published on the following proposed improvements: CONSTRUCTION OF PERMANENT STREET SURFACING AND CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER AND APPURTENANCES, STREET LIGHTING AND APPURTENANCES, RAILROAD BRIDGE WIDENING AND APPURTENANCES, LANDSCAPING AND APPURTENANCES, SIGNING AND APPURTENANCES, TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND APPURTENANCES AND VILLAGE STORM SEWER AND APPURTENANCES IN THE FOLLOWING: On and adjacent to Vernon Ave. (Hwy. #169) from M.N. 6 S.

Motion for adoption of the Resolution was sec o de by Tupa, and on Rollcall the Resolution was unanimously adopted. ATTEST: Mayor Village Clerk •f 1/25/65 COUNCIL APPROVES FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR MUD LAKE AND NINE MILE CREEK WATERSHED. Mr. Kendall Stevens, Chairman of the Park Board, asked the Council to help resolve the question of Mud. Lake and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed. He is apprehensive that any further substantial delay might necessitate piecemeal decisions as projects develop. He is also fearful that the State Legislature might not continue to appropriate funds for Conservation Development which could be used to accomplish a development of this type with a lake and storm basin. These conservation funds amount to approximately $150,000 annually. Mr. Stevens feels, after-meeting with the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, that they are quite anxious to cooperate with us in an advisory capacity. Their function is to serve as a regulatory or control board. Hopefully, a lake could result which would have recreational purposes as well as a park. The Park Board proposes that a feasibility study be entered into jointly by the Village of Edina and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. The cost of approximately $7,500 would be shared, with Edina paying about $5,600. The.study should take three or four weeks. Stevens further proposed that the Engineering Department would provide as much of the field data as they can. This should lower the cost of the study. Mr. Hite said that an estimate had been prepared indicating that land acquisition toward development of a lake would run about $300,000. He has contracted the group that administers Federal Open Space Program money and they are certain that the project should qualify for a 20o to 30o share of the land acquisition cost.being paid by Federal funds. VanValkenburg moved that the money be granted for the feasibility study. Seconded by Tupa. Motion carried unanimously. Council having covered Meeting's agenda, MacMillan moved for adjournment. Motion was seconded by Tupa and carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:45 P.M. l Village Clerk 1
