Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Hyde presented estimated construction cost of $34,317.80, proposed to be assessed against seven assessable lots at $4,902.54 per lot. at which the sanitary sewer pipes must be installed, the cost of the project is very high. ning through rear lots was given at $10,173.12, proposed to be assessed against three lots at $3,391.04 per assessable lot. nate plan was followed, it would mean that properties on the West side of the street would have to pay the whole cost when the more camplete sewer was installed. Elr. Hyde also said that while there is no real evidence of pollution of the pond or wells in the area, this has been a dry year and the situation could change very quickly. Mr. Dunn pointed out that the elevation of the pipes is dictated by the elevation of basement floors wgich are below street grade, and that this grade would not change if the pipes came in from the south. Charles M. Towle, 5013 Ridge Road, protested the installation because of the high cost and sa-id that he has an estimate of $740 for septic tank and drain field for his prqperty which has been approved by the Village. Bums, 5108 Ridge Road, Dean Scott, 5120 Ridge Road and Vm. Warmath, 5101 Ridge Road, questioned the method of installation proposed and whether it would not be more prudent to serve the entire street with both sanitary sewer and water at the same time. Messrs. Harold Fischbein, 5009 Ridge Road, J. J. Liebenberg, 5112 Ridge Road, Senator Alf Bergerud, 5100 Ridge Road, Mrs. Roger McBride, 5012 Ridge Road, and the owner of property on the corner of Inter- lachen Blvd. and Ridge Road all spoke in opposition to the improvement, stat- ing that the expense is unwarranted and that they all had adequate systems. Mr. Wayne Nordgren, owner of Lot 3, Auditors Subdivision 325, said that he would welcome the sewer except for the high price. Mr. Eans.Skalle, who is having trouble with his syitem, urged that the improvement be authorized, stating that residents would save money in the long run. Mr. Hyde said that- the Village would prefer to install sewer and water at the same time, since some day all of Edina will be served by sewer and water. In reply to Council- man Shawls question about the alternate plan, Mr, Dunn advised that two of the property owners affected opposed the sewer. of the cost of the project, the signers of the petition had withdrawn their names, except for Mr. Skalle. in the health and sanitak$sconditions in the Village and that when there is any indication of pollution in the area, it will be necessary to install the sewer immediately. Councilman Johnson then moved that the project be abandoned,since there is no apparant need at the present time, with the undeseeazldfng: that sanitary sewer and watermain ljoth be installed for all Ridge Road properties as soon as any pollution is found. and carried.

CHERNE REQUESTS FOR PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT ZONING FOR COUNTY ROAD 18 CONTINUED TO DECEIlBER 1. sented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. 1-k. Hoising- ton noted that these two requests for zoning change from R-1 Residential Dist- rict to Planned Industrial District along County Road 18 by R. E. Kremer and L. G. Cherne are being considered together since the,properties adjoin one another. The property in question is located generally North of Fabri-Tek, East of County Road 18 and West of 9, Isrile Creek,' Mr. Hoisington noted that this would be a continuation of Planned Industrial Zoning approved along County Road 18 when the Fabri-Tek property was zoned in 1962, and added that Siilce $his 'for- Co&fy^&oaa'l8 hiive not'been finally approved by the County, approval of the zoning would be subject to approval of the highway plans. James Thorp, 5901Walnut Drive, asked about the Seven aclres of land near Fabri- Tek which he understood had been dedicated for park property. Bk. Hoisington said that he did not know that there were actually seven acres, but that land had been dedicated along Nine Mile Creek for protection of the creek. added that the 'PlaQning: Oo~~ssSoqtwas.~r~q~~s~i~g~an eafjemegt t-qor.. theT-protect- ioh of the_ credk along the Cherne and Kremer properties; however, he indicated that if the Council so .desires, an outri ht dedication of &is Mr. Hoisington said that no land use had been decided upon but that the Planning Commission anticipates some residential transition between the R-1 Residential District and the Planned Industrial District, possibly some low density type of housing development such as double bungalows or town houses. Mr. Platter said that the MFnutes of some three years ago indicated that comparable dwell- ings were to back up to Parkwdod Road and Parkwood Lane. Mr. Platter, as well as Mr. V, L. Oliver, 6620 Parkwood Road, urged that the area to the East of Nine Mile Creek be rezoned before the zoning now under consideration is approved. Mr. Hyde said that he believed that Mr. Platter was talking about the apartment area to the North since he did not recall this area ever before being considered for rezoning. Mr. Lloyd Cherne, 5704 View Lane, urged low density housing development in the area East of Nine Mile Creek. Mayor Bredesen said that it is important that Council knows what zoning will be requested for property on both sides of the creek and what sort of buffer zones will be established before taking action on the zoning now under consideration. 5900 Walnut Drive and Mr. Thorp complained of the practice of granting Light Industrial Zoning for all of the extremities of Edina and urged that multiple residential zoning be considered for:-thes'eiarelPs, .:Mayof 3tredesen suggested that this hearing be continued until December 1, 1969, so that Mr. Kremer and Mr. Cherne can submit their ideas for development of the 32.36 acre tract East of Nine Mile Creek for Planning Commission recoxmendation and so thaf Planning Commission can study overall plans for County Road 18 development.' Mr; Cherne said that he has commitments and hopes that he will not be held up in the event that Mr. Kremer's plans are not ready: Councilman VanValkenburg's motion that both the Cherne and Kremer zoning requests be continued to December 1, 1969, until the overall'plan is received for Highway 18 so that people living North, East and South of the area could have some assurance about the zoning of this property was then seconded by Councilman'Johnson and carried, Plr. Platter was assured that property owners living farther away than 500 feet would be notified of any hearings regarding the County Road 18 overall plan and he was urged to attend any such hearings.

NATIONAL FOOD STORE EASEXENT DISCUSSED. Mr. Hoisington gave a brief review of' the problem existing between the National Food Store and the Village as to easements over the National Food property €or access to the new-parking ramp. He indicated that the Village does not need the vehicular opening in the North- west corner of the ramp and that it could be closed if National Food does not wish to have it. If they so wish, the access can be left open and this is the I 10/20/69 the way the Village had understood that the ramp would be built. Food Stores, on the other hand, would like compensation for access across their prop*erty. Mr. Kenneth Mayo, representing National Food Stores, said that if the access is there, National Food Stores property will be benefited .and .that under the present formula they will be assessed $52,000. is no access, National Food customers would then use their private parking lot and the assessment would be contested. He added that the general public would tend to use the National Food Stores' private parking lot since it is more \ readily accessible than the ramp and questioned whether National Foot Stores should be contributing to the use by the other merchants by allowing the public to cross their parking lot. Mr. Mayo indicated that his company would expect to be compensated for this easement, thereis no way of knowing just how long National Food Stores will be at this Zocation. the area might hinder National Food Stores' business, the additional traffic should encourage customers; Mayor Bredesen noted that the 50th Street: improve- ments are being made for the benefit of merchants in the area, including National Food Stores, and they do not want to pay their share. pointed out that the Village,might agree to maintain the drive with blacktop and Snow removal and also be responsible for public liability for the driveway, but that it should not have to pay for the easement. He then suggested that Mr. Mayo take the proposal of the Village back to National Food Stores executives for approval. No action was Baken.
