SNOWMOBILE ORDINANCE REFERRED TO VILLAGE ATTORNEY FOR DRAFTING.
Council that Mr. and Mrs. Richard M. Cotton, 6405 Biscayne Blvd., had requested that
action be taken which would govern the use and operation of snowmobiles on privately
owned property. Mr. Hyde quoted the ordinance currently being considered by Bloomington
which would prohibit operation of snowmobiles on private and publicly owned land except
where specifically allowed. Mayor Bredesen recommended that this ordinance be referred
to the Village Attorney for reference in drafting a similar Village ordinance which
could be considered at the next Council Meeting. Mr. Cotton urged the immediate '
enactment of the ordinance, stating that snowmobiles driving across his property
constitute a great danger to children.
that two snowmobiles had darted in front of her car as she was driving in the area
of Webber Field. Mr. IJhitlock advised that the Village has no control over the use
of snowmobiles on public streets, Trustee VanValkenburg's motion that the ordinance
be referred to the Village Attorney for drafting was seconded by Trustee Johnson and

SUSAN LINDGREN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AREA. STORM SEWER REFERRED TO ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
FOR FEASIBILITY STUDY;
Elementary School, proposed to be constructed by the St. Louis Park School District
Mr: Hyde advised Council that plans kor the Susan,Lipdmen
on a site located immediately south of West 4lst Street and between Quentin and
Monterey Avenues, have been submitted to glanning Commission.
of the overall site located west of Natchez Avenue is within the municipal limits
of Edina, State law requires that the School District submit plans to the Edina
Planning Commission for review, but the schodl district is not obliged to comply with
the recommendations set forth by the Planning Commission,
that the area in question has had a storm water problem for many years and that it
is felt that the construction of the school and playground would aggravate this
situation.
and the Edina Village Council that another site be selected for this sqhool have gone
unheeded. Mr, Hyde advised that a 1961 study made by Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and
Associates had recommended that the swamp in the area be made into a permanent storm
water storage pond and that a 1955 study conducted by Orr Schelen, Mayeron and
Associates had proposed to remove the water by pipe into Lake Calhoun.
second recommendation would cost approximately $3,000 per lot and felt $0 be too
costly to be practical, Mr. Hite suggested that a combination of the two plans might
be employed.

of Trustee Courtney, Village Attorney Whitlock advised that St. Lbuis Park could
build a school on any property that i; owned in Edina. -
advised that the,Village of Edina would have no authority to hold the matter in
abeyance or prohibit the construction of the proposed school. Trustee Courtney
suggested the possibility of Council withholding the vacation of a dedicated street

resident of Monterey Avenue, stated that she would not favor a recommendation made
by Mr. Hite at the Planning Commission Meeting, for construction of a four foot
earthen dike on the westerly side of Monterey Avenue, because she does not-believe
it will be adequate after the school has been built. Mr. Hite advised that he had
been assured that construction of the school would not be started until after this
coming spring. He further stated that St. Louis Park has expressed willingness to
pay its share of the storm sewer. Mr. Hyde advised that the St. Louis Park School
District should be assessed at a higher rate than that paid by owners of private
dwellings because of more rapid run-off which would create more of a problem. In
reply to a question posed by Trustee Johnson, he was advised that approximately
$50,000 which Morningside turned over to Edina at the time of annexation could be
used toward defraying the expense of the storm sewer and that it is possible to
apply for Federal Funds, although it is questioned whether Federal Funds are actually
available. Mr. James A. Lushine, 4166 Monterey Avenue, stated that he had a petition
of 400 names protesting construction of the school until after the water problem had
been solved and urged Council to prevail further upon:the St. Louis Park School
Board to defer construction of thevschool until the storm sewer had been installed.
Mr. Hite pointed out that because Minneapolis is going to proceed with its storm
sewer and needs to know if it is necessary to enlarge piping to accommodate Edina,
it is necessary that the Village decide almost immediately on storm sewer plans.
Trustee Johnson then moved that the matter be refe.rred to the Engineering Department
for a feasibility study and referred back to Council within sixty days with appropriate
recommendations that would include looking into the possibility of Federal financing
and/or the use of the Morningside funds that were left over for defraying a portion of
the expense. Trustee Johnson's motion further included that some expression of intent
should be obtained from the St. Louis Park School District and also that they should
be assessed at a higher rate,

PLAN APPROVED FOR T.H. 100 FROM INTERSTATE^ HIGHWAY 494 TO 2,000 FEET NORTH OF
FEST 77TH STREET. Flr. Hite presented a proposal submitted-by the State Highway
Department for improving T.H. 100 between Interchange 494 and 2,000' North which has been proposed in an attempt- to" resolve traffic problems in the area, and *
advised that the State is prepared to award contracts for the work in July, 1967.
Present plans propose to 1) install Frontage roads on each side of T.H.*100 between
Viking Drive and West 77th Street, 2) install new signal system at West 77th Street
which will be in*egrated with signals at West 70th Street, 3) construct left and
right turn refuge lanes at Best 77th Street, 4) close crossovers at Viking Drive
(West 78th Street) . Hr. Kurpius, Traffic Engineer for the 14innesota State Highway
Department, advised Council that these proposed plans are necessary because of the
large amount of traffic and high accident rate in the area.
Assistant to the District Engineer5 advised that it is anticipated that the contract

be maintained until such time as a-grade separation was required. m. Connor of '
Rauenhorst Corporation presented a petition signed by 400 persons employed in the
area requesting that Viking Drive access be left open, and stated that the Raunehorst
interests had been assured in 1960 that Viking Road would be kept open until a grade
separation was installed. Mr. Hite advised that he had written Rauenhorst Corporation
prior to the rezoning of their Edina properties advising them that accesses at this
intersection were not permanent. 'In reply to-Trustee MacMillanrs question as to
why the Highway Department is so nebulous as to when the interchange will be
installed, Mr. Osterby stated that funds for this improvement are not presently
included in the State's five-year highway plans and conceded that the interchange
might not be constructed for seven to ten years. Mayor Bredesen stated that he
feels that if direct access to T.H. 100 from Viking Drive is closed, the Village
would be doing wrong by a man who had developed the area in good faith. Mr. Jerry
Anderson, Real Estate Agent for Texaco, Mr. Hans Skalle of Camelot and Mr. Connor
all pointed out that there would be no objection to installation of the improvements
at West 77th Street, but that it is imperative that Viking Drive have access to

when the grade separation is constructed.

Mr. Nicholas Simon with Rauenhorst Corporation, asked about the possibility of
instEdling a traffic signal where the 494 ramp intersects T.H. 100.
advised that signalization at that point and at the Howara Johnson intersection
would cause traffic to bebacked up too much. No further comments were heard from
the audience, whereupon in. response to Mayor Bredesen's recommendation that Viking
