Mayor Bredesen noted that he believed that this suggestion would resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the majority of residents concerned. Mayor Bredesen made reference to an article in the paper which suggested that anticipated HUD funds would be withheld from any suburban development which would provide for large single family lots as opposed to higher density devel- opment.

Mayor Bredesen replied \.!a Following considerable ORDINANCE NO. 261-197 GRANTED FIRST READING. Mr. Hoisington recalled to Council that the request of Mr. David Thomas for R-4 zoning for Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Elmwood Terrace, and Lot 1, Block 1, Elmwood Terrace 2nd Addition, located south of 5412 France Avenue,had been continued so that Mr. Thomas could provide more information as to his site plans. he had plans for twelve units on two 'floors with one unit on the lower level and that the building would be one foot lower than the building at 5412 France Avenue. erected, drainage would be a problerp. Mr. James McClung, 5429 Halifax Lane, pointed out that it was not only the height of the building that neighbors opposed, but also the high density p-roposed in view of R-1 zoning on three sides of the property. He pointed out that the original apartment at 5412 France Avenue was intended to serve as a buffer between the commercial area at 54th and France and the existing R-1 dwellings. Mr. Douglas Reite, 5421 Halifax Lane, was assured that screening would be provided so that lights from cars parking/$A &g !%g@%f the building would not bother Halifax Lane residents. Mr. Ralph H.

An unidentified man was assured by Mr. Hoisington that the plan submitted appears to meet all ordinance requirements. Shaw noted that he lives on the west side of Halifax Lane, facing the rear of the proposed building. He recalled that in 1960 when the present apartment building at 5412 France Avenue was approved, it was approved as a buffer between the C-4 zoning and the R-1 area to the South. At that time, Planning Commis- sion had indicated that no further high density apartments would be constructed. He added that higher density would constitute a hardship because of egress to France Avenue and that Halifax Lane residents would be looking at a three story building to.the rear. Councilman Shaw also noted that the building would be only 35 feet from the rear property line. Mr. Courtney said that at the time the zoning for 5412 France Avenue was approved, it was approved by anather Council and that this Council cannot be bound by its actions. said that he does not believe Council can refuse to approve another building of the same type. agreeable to R-3 zoning which would have a maximum density of seven units and said that this is the location at which the transition from R-4 zoning should take place. Councilman Shaw then moved that the R-4 zoning be denied, which motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Thomas advised an unidentified gentle- man in the audience that the proposed apartment units will have two bedrooms each. Following considerable discussion, Councilman Courtney offered Ordi- nance No. 261-197 for First Reading with the stipulation that Second Reading be withheld until a deed restriction is received limiting the building to the height of 5412 France Avenue S. and with the further stipulation that no variances be granted for the property. with Councilman Shaw voting ."Nay": \ Councilman i He Councilman Shaw noted that residents would probably be On rollcall there were four ayes ORDINANCE NO. 261-197 AN ORDINANCE &ENDING ORDINANCE NO. 261 (ZONING ORDINANCE) OF THE VILLAGE OF'EDINA ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL R-4 MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT THE VILJAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF EDINA, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS: Section 4, (Multiple Residence District) of Ordinance Np._2?1 of revised ordinances of the Village of Edina, as amended, is hereby further amended by adding the following subparagraph: Section 1.

Mayor Bredesen recalled that at the Council Meeting of November 3, 1969, it had been decided to discontinue the practice of permitting the Edina Jaycees to put a Christmas creche on Village Hall property in view of the fact that it was understood that the Ministerial Association had recommended against this practice. He advised that it has now come to his attention that a majority of the Ministerial Association does not oppose the creche, nor do they object to symbols of other religious groups on Village property. Mayor Bredesen read letters favoring the creche in front of the Village Hall as well as a letter from the minority group of the Ministerial Association urg- ing that the practice be abandoned. Mr. Robert Sandilla, President of the 12/15/69 -Edina Jaycees, read a letter from his organization urging that the creche be permitted as had been the custom. 3rd decision to deny permission to the Jaycees to put up the creche since it had been advised that this action would violate federal law and since it understood that the Edina Ministerial Association had recommended against placing the creche on Village Hall property, a meeting of the Edina Ministerial Association held December 15 at 7:30 a.m., the group voted not to oppose the creche or other religious symbols on Village property by a vote of ten to five. Mr. Sandilla emphasized that the vote by the Ministerial Associationxwas a reflection of their own personal opinions and not necessarily the reflection of the position of their respective churches. Mr. Sandilla then stated that there are no specific cases directly in point which v?ould indicate'that placing the creche on Village property would constitute a violation of federal law. the creche on Villageproperty included Human Bights Commission members Father Richard Jeub, Nr, Samuel Kaplan and Mesdames Norman Carpenter and Yvonne Ford, Mr, Samuel Scheinerr; Executive Director of the Jewish Community, the Reverend John Cumrains, Messrs, Glendon Lee, Arnold Schwartz and Nrs. Charlotte Nudell also expressed opposition to the creche, stating that the creche displayed on Village property implies that Edina is a Christian community and that this is not true, Mrs. Diane Ferris asked why the Jaycees objected to putting the creche on some church lawn, Mrs. Bea Palmer said that.she had always enjoyed the creche but that she would not want to do anything which would make anyone uncomfortable. Cameron, an unidentified lady and a number of Edina Jaycees including Mr. James Neville and Mr. Joseph Landry. voted against the motion opposing the creche at the Human Rights Commission meeting, but that he now has reversed his original position since the creche offends some individuals. Councilman Courtney said that this country is a democracy where the majority rules, butthat we are now becoming so sensitive to the wishes of the minority that the majority no longer 'has the right to determine what is done. Mayor Bredesen suggested that the creche be allowed to be placed in front of the Village Hall'this year and that during the ensuing months the Jaycees work with the Human Rights Commission and the Ministerial Association in an attempt to find a solution,that would be agreeable to every- one. Following considerable discussion, Councilman Courtney moved that the Council reverse its decision of November 3 and allow the creche to be placed in its customary place in front of the Village Hall, with the understanding that other faiths be allowed to display their symbol on Village property also. Counci%rna?i-YanVaUcenbiurg secbnded the motion, based on his understanding of the legality of the matter, All voted !!aye" with the exception of Councilman Johnson who voted 'hay". the creche at the November 3 meeting because he had said that he would follow the recommendation of the Ministerial Association and that since the majority of the Ministerial Association now favors the creche, he would still follow their recommendation, Councilman Shaw said that he has found the creche decora- tive and that he hopes that the Jaycees will find a means of communicating their message of "Peace on Earth'' in the future which wi11,be satisfactory to all.
