HAROLD DUOOS R-4 MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ZONING REQUEST FOR HANSEN ROAD
NORTH OF THE M.N. & S. TRACKS GRANTED FIRST READING. Affidavits of Notice were
presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Pursuant to
due notice given, public hearing was conducted on the request of Mr. Harold Duoos
for rezoning of property located east of Hansen Road and northwest of the M.N,& S.
Railroad tracks from R-1 Residential District to R-4 Multiple Residential District.
Mr. Hite adv'ised Council that this property is bordered on the north by single
family dwel-lings, by rai1road.tracks on the east and south, and by Garden Park
across Hansen Road to the west. The Planning Commission has recommended approval
of the request for rezoning. .Mr:Duoos has agreed to place a deed restriction on
the property limiting the size of the apartment building to twenty-four units in
conformance with the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Mr. Duoos pre-
sented an artist's drawing of the proposed two story building, stating that the
height would be nineteen or twenty feet, with underground parking facilities for
twenty-seven cars. He indicated that every effort will be made to save existing
trees which are taller than the proposed building.
per month for one bedroom units and to $300 per month for two bedroom units. He
concurred with neighboring property owners that children cut through the property
on the way to the park, but offered to install a fence in such a manner that they
could not get through.
dangers involved in making a left-hand turn off of Vernon Avenue onto Hansen Road
and on-to Windsor Avenue.- Mr. Hite advised Mr. and Eks. G. V. Jackish, 5312 \?in-
dsor Avenue and Mr. Richard M. Mast, 5305 Windsor Avenue, that this intersection
would be reworked at the time that Vernon Avenue is improved, but that, in the
meantime, it might be possible to widen the road somewhat so that a lefthand turn
lane could be installed, Mr. Hite noted that he does not believe that the twenty-
four proposed apartment units will generate an appreciable increase in traffic to
cause an additional hazard at that intersection. Mr. Grant North, 5300 Windsor
Avenue, protested that multiple dwellings are being constructed adjacent to single
family dwellings, whereupon Mr. Hite replied that multiple residence dwellings
should be relatively isolated from single family dwellings but still-not in an area
which would not be suitable for single family residence construction. In reply to
a statement of Mrs. Jackish that they were assured that the neighborhood would be
developed with" single family dwellings when they purchased their property four and
one-half years ago, Mayor Bredesen noted that while there were no plans for mul- .
tiple residence development at that time, changes often lead to a more desirable
type of area development. Mr. Ernest Hansen, 5612 Dale Avenue, and Mrs. M. C.
Lindboe, 5600 Dale Avenue, stated that they would favor the construction of the
proposed apartment building. No further discussion being heard, Councilman Johnson
offered Ordinance No, 261-161 for First Reading as follows, providing that the deed
restriction is received by the Village and stipulating that Second Reading be held
at the meeting of May 20, 1968, provided it can be determined by that time whether
or not the lefthand turn lanes can be accomplished by the County Highway Department:

ordered placed on file,
and action taken as hereinafter recorded on the request of Cherokee Sales, Inc.,
for a zoning change for property located on the northeast quadrant of Gleason Road
and the Crosstown Highway. Mr, Hite advised that it is proposed to construct a
shopping center of 28,000 square feet which would accommodate 'konvenience" stores

proposed to be acquired as anLintegral part of this community-wide park and
recreational complex.
3. Such proposal is contrary to the Village policy of not permitting commercial
facilities in close proximity to highway interchanges.
Mr. Hite further noted that it is not considered advantageous to have a shopping
center in'an area that is to be used for park and school purposed since a facility
of this type would attract additional traffic. Mr. John Crouch, representing
Cherokee Sales, Inc., presented photographs of the site and stated that response
to the questionnaire mailed to residsnts of western Edina in January, 1968, indica-
ted that 34% thought that existing convenience shopping facilities were very good,
38% thought they were adequate and 28% thought that they were inadequate. The
respons'es to the questionnaire also indicated that 77% thought that additional
facilities would be needed as the population in t'hat area doubles within the next
five years. Mr. Crouch stated that it is proposed that the,facility would in-
clude men's and women's apparel stores, a grocery store, drug store, hardware
store, barber and beauty shop, dry cleaning shop and gas station. He presented
a petition which Cherokee Sales, Inc., had circulated west of Hansen Road and south
of Pine Grove Road which he advised had been signed by 80% of the residents app-
roached. A gentleman in the audience pointed out that this petition had been
signed by "unsuspecting housewives" and that the proposed development had not
been fairly represented to them.
property is easier to sell if shopRing facilities are conveniently lqcated and .
stated that if he had taken the time, he could have gotten many more names on
the petition. Messrs. E, J. Graham, 6205 Balder Lane, Kent Calhoun, 6617 Gleason
Road, Earl C. Sharpe, 6600 Gleason Road, Gordon Thernell, Mr. Christgau, and Dr.
Glen Lewis, 6328 Gleason Road, all protested the proposed facility, stating that
a shopping center*in,thQi area would cause a dangerous situation for children
drawn to the area by the school and recreational facilities. 'Mayor Bredesen
pointed out that it must be remembered that a property owner has the right to
develop his property and that even if this proposal is denied, some type of dev-
elopment will be forthcoming. In reply to a question from the audience as to .
why the property could not be purchased as a part of the Mud Lake development,
Mayor Bredesen stated that there is a question as to how much the Village can
spend for park property at any one location. A lady who lives on Balder Lane
pointed out'that she can drive to Southdale in seven minutes and that no further
shopping center development is necessary. Discussion ensued as to the possib-
ility of development of shopping centers in Minnetonka Village and in Eden Prairie
which could serve western Edina.
a gasstation would be most undesiyable, Mr. Harry DeSales of Cherokee Sales
stated that most people feel that a service station in their area is a convenience
and would favor such a facility. Mayor Bredesen noted that while he believes that
the proposed shopping center might serve some useful function to the neighborhood,
the Planning Commission has given much thought and diligent study to the project
and he would suggest that their recommendation for denial be followed, based on
the- reasons stated at the beginning of this hearing. Councilman VanValkenburg
then moved that the zoning request of Cherokee Sales, Inc., be denied based on
the recommendation of the Planning Commission and based further on the fact that
he believes that it would create a dangerous situation for c,hildren going to the
park and also because he believes this to be "strip zoning" which is poor zoning.
Motion was seconded by Councilman Shaw and carried.
noted that since it .is ev+ident to him that some shopping center development is
desirable, Planning Commission should give further study to a possible desirable
location.
Mr. Hite further noted that Planning Commission had recommended denial

MULTIPLE RESIDENCE ZONING MORATORIUM CLARIFIED. Mr. Hite directed the attention
of Council to the Planning Commission minutes of May 1, 1968, which requested
interpretation as to the decision relative to the moratorih in multiple resi-
dence development in the C-1 and C-2 Sewer Districts.
Planning Commission had requested permission to proceed to consider all facets
of multiple developments other than the sanitary sewer question in order that land i
use plans for western and southern Edina could continue to develop. Councilman
Courtney questioned the wisdom of permitting R-2 construction and was advised that
this use should not tax sewer capacities. Council concurred with Councilman John-
son's recollection that all zoning requests could be considered with actual zoning
changes to be withheld pending the results of the sanitary sewer survey, and that
R-2 construction be authorized.
LOT 2, HAYDEN ADDITION DIVISION APPROVED.
Frank Hayden for lot division of property on the southeast corner of Benton Avenue
