MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1969

and Mayor Bredesen.
MINUTES of October 20, 1964, were approved as submitted by motion of Council-
man VanValkenburg, seconded by Councilman Courtney and carried.
VILLI& OLSEN PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT HEARING DATE SET FOR NOVEMBER 17, - 1969. Affidavits of Mailing on October 24 and of Publication on October 23 and
of corrected Affidavits of Mailing on October 28 and of Publication on October
30, 1969, were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on
file. Mr. Hoisington presented the request of Mr. 'EJilliam Olsen for zoning -
change from R-1 Residential District to Planned Residential District for
property located generally South of TJ. 62nd Street, West of Countryside Park
and North of the Crosstown Highway. He reviewed the history of the property,
and noted that Mr. Olsen and the Village of Edina have now entered into an
agreement, contingent upon Council approval of the proposed rezoning, whereby
Mr. Olsen would be permitted to develop 16 of his 24 acres of property with
town houses and give the remaining eight acres to the Village for park use in
accord with Planned Residential District regulations.
indicated that, contingent upon granting of necessary variances, the agreement
would allow five dwelling units per acre (instead of 4) and that it limited
development to single family, two family and town house structures only.
Hoisington recalled-that in 1960 the entire area now under consideration was
intended to be used for a.park.
zoning of this same property in anticipation of construction of three twenty-
story Cowers, but because of the moratorium on apartment rezonings, Council
has never before considered the rezoning of this property.
noted further that Planning Commission had recommended denial of.Mr. Olsen's
request for R-5 zoning and three 26-story towers earlier in 1969 on the grounds
that this zoning was totally out of character with the neighborhood as well
as with the.Blud Lake area plans. Because it believed that the proposed use
would be compatible with the park, Planning Commission has now recommended
approval of the Planned Residential District zoning for sixteen acres of Mr.
Olsen's property as part of an agreement under which Mr. Olsen will donate
eight acres of his land for Village park use.
that no more than five dwelling units per gross acre are to be constructed
and if the agreement canbe put into effect by the granting of the requested
rezoning and necessary variances, the condemnation proceedings already com-
menced will be dropped.
lznger binding. Approval of the zoning is recommended in view of the facts
that (1) town house development respects the fact that this is a low density
area; (2) it will allow reasonable use of the property, whereas R-1 develop-
ment would be impractical because of the serious soil conditions; (3) it
will not be detrimental to surrounding properties because of the substantial
distance between this property and single family dwellings in the area. Mr.
Donald Bunker, 5841 Jeff Place, protested the proposed zoning change on the
grounds that adjacent property values would be reduced. He said that he had
been advised during a telephone call to the Village Hall some time ago that
this land would become part of the park system, but he could not identify
the person who gave him this information.
was loosely changing the character of his neighborhood and that town houses
would be spot zoning.
of Mr. Bunker that the Village is guaranteeing the profit of the person who
owns this land. He pointed out that it was not likely that good homes would
be built in an area adjoining a super highway.
that the cost of property for the Mud Lake area park is running considerably
higher than anticipated and that before authorizing expenditure of any more
funds than are absolutely necessary for a %eighborhood park" he would vote
against the Mud Lake project and let it go to full development.
pointed out that the Mud Lake Plan is a "plan1' only and that since its inception
land prices increased well over the amount budgeted for the park. He added
that if the entire Olsen tract should be used for park purposes, the Village
m5llrrate would be increased by approximately five mills. Mr. Hyde.pointed
out that a professor of architecture at the University of Illinois has said
that one of the reasons for tax increases is the way housing is scattered in
suburbia and that if Edina is ever going to have town houses, this is the best
location for them. He added that this plan would give more common open area
which the Village feels is desirable. Messrs. Thomas Pierce, 5816 Jeff Place,

for private dwellings since pilings must be installed for foundations as well
as for roads and that this expense would make the land prohibitive in cost for
single family dwelling use. Mayor Bredesen recalled that the Village has been
courts in those cases had said that propertymust be zoned for the highest and
best use. In reply to questions of Mr. A. M. Purcell, 6105 Olinger Blvd., and
Mr.*L. S. Kendall,, 5916 Sun Road, Mr. Hyde said that the Mud Lake development
started as a part of the flood control plan along Nine Mile Creek and that the
property which Mr. Olsen will give to the Village is absolutely necessary if
there is to be a park. Mr. Lloyd Lee, 5920 Olinger Blvd., questioned use of
the term "neighborhood park", stating that this will be as much a "Village
park" as Braemar Park and the Municipal Pool. Mr. Samuel S. Thorpe 111, 5808
IJ. 61st Street, questioned the fact.that 120 units would be permitted on this
site and said that this is a higher density than permitted in Bloomington.. .
Mr. Thomas a Thompson, 5833 Jeff Place, was told that Mr. Olsen was asking
$250,000 for the twenty-five acres and that a quarter million dollars would be
saved by granting the zoning under consideration. Mayor Bredesen added that
with land values in the Village raising 16% per year since 1965, he is trying
to help to reduce the- cost of living in the Village. Mr. Nilliam McFadzean,
6100 Arbour Lane, questioned what effect the proposed town houses would have
on traffic in the area and complained particularly about the speed of traffic
on Tracy Avenue at the present time. He said that he would rather pay higher
taxes so that the advantages of the quiet suburban community could be maintained.
Considerable discussion ensued as to traffic patterns in the area, with Mr.
Hoisington pointing out that additional traffic brought in by the proposed
town houses would cause no particular problem since traffic would spread in
many directions. Mr. Craig Rothgeb, 5824 W. 61st Street, protested the pro-
posed rezoning, stating that Council is proposing to rezone the property
without even being sure that there will actually be a park. He criticized the
efficiency of the entire Village park system.
called attention to the fact. that the proper legal description of the property
under consideration had not been used in the Notices of Hearing and recommended
that- a new hearing be set so that any rezoning would be valid. Mayor Bredesen
said that he had been aware of this discrepancy but that the hearing had been
conducted so that those in the audience need not return if they did not wish.
Councilman VanValkenburg's motion setting new hearing date for November 17,
1969, was then seconded by Councilman Johnson and carried.

HALu PROPERTY RE-ZONING DENIED AT SECOND READING. NEW HEARING DATE MAY BE SET.
Mr. Hoisington presented Ordinance No. 261-190 for Second Reading,.noting
that this hearing had been continued from October 6, 1969, in order that Council
would have an opportunity to consider the Village ordinance pertaining to height
of buildings. Mr. Hoisington advised that Planning Commission had recommended
that no change be made in the present height ordinance under which height of
buildings is controlled by setbacks.
by Mr. Hoisington that variances would be necessary in order to build:.anything
over eight stories and that the Hallas have indicated an interested in
constructing a building considerably taller.
the time Council considered an amendment to the zoning ordinance in which no
height limitation was placed on R-5 Multiple Residence Distriot buildings, the
ordinance was approved in principle with reservations because there was no.
particular problem at that time.
the ordinance is now being applied to a particular situation and feels that
buildings of unlimited height, even though there is adequate open space, would
well effect the symmetry of the building in Edina.
Councilman Johnson, Mr. Hoisington said that town houses would not be appropri-
ate on this location.
the United States are moving toward more apartment buildings, but that while
he would not object to the number of people living in the building, he would
think that a fourteen story building would be undesirable. Mr. Ernest Ibs,
representing the Halla's architects, explained that the site has a peculiar
underground disposition which limits the type of construction.

of a new hearing be brought up as reconrmended by the Mayor was then seconded

CHRISTMAS CRECHE TO BE REMOVED FROM VIUE HALL PROPERTY. Mayor Bredesen
recalled that objections had been raised to the Christmas Creche which has
been displayed on Village property each Christmas season for a number of years.
He noted that the objection of the Reverend John Cumins, an EdFna resident
who is the minister of the First Universalist Church in Minneapolis,had been
submitted to the Human Rights Commission which recommended that the creche be
removed from public property.

Cumins appealed the matter to the Edina Ministerial Association, and they have
agreed that it might be wise not to do anything which might give the impression
that Christianity is the official stance of the Village.
further recalled that at the time the matter was previously discussed, it had
been noted that anyone of any other faith would be welcome to display their .
philosophy on Village property. At a recent meeting of the Human Rights Com-
mission, Mayor Bredesen had agreed that he would personally follow the recommenda-
