SOUTHWEST EDINA PLAN REFEREED BACK TO PLANNING COElMISSION. .Mr. f?est .presented'

that, since the matter had originally been considered by the Planning Com-

because.of the change in needs in the School District, the recommendation of
the Park Boakd not to obtain.additiona1 land South of Braemar Park and indus-
trial and/or commercial development in the City of Bloomington just adjacent
to Edina. Mr. West recalled that the plan developed in 1967 by Brauer &.
Associates Ear this property bounded by Cahill Road, West 70th Street, Old
Washington Avenue and the South Village Limits, had called for a strip of
industrial zoning along Cahill Road from the Danens property to W. 78th
Street, with a strip of R-2 Multiple Residential District property between
the industrial property and single family zoning. Mr. West added that, in
developing this plan, the Plannang Commissik had considered the protection
and preservation of existing natural features in the area, maintenance of
existing residential integrity and creation of additional good living
environments.

Attention: Warren Hyde, Village Manager
Gent I emen :
Mr. Ted Brouillette and I, having met with members of the Village staff this
past week to review questions concerning the development of properties west
of Highway 100, south of 70th Street, wish to confirm by this letter our support
for proposed solutions as discussed. We want to take this opportunity to assure
the Village Council that we are first of all desirous of working in close coopera-
tion with the Village over an extended period of time to achieve the highest
development standard as possible in our area. We assume that this is a prime
requisite of the Village as demonstrated by its past decisions and to this end,
our objectives are the same.
In the case of the development of the streets and highway system (west of 100,
south of 70th Street) we support wholeheartedly, construction of the west side
service road and intersection of that road with 70th Street at a high standard
providing for the ultimate traffic needs of west 70th (serving the fine residential
areas to the west) and the needs of the service road (serving the office areas,
hotel, and other uses to the south). We support the development of the inter-
section and the service road at the standards suggested by the study done by
Howard, Needles, Tamen, and Bergendorf as reviewed by the village staff,
Planning Commission, and Council.
We hereby commit ourselves to agreement to pay our fair share of additional
cost necessitated by the improvement of the standards of construction beyond
that which the State of Minnesota agrees to provide for these facilities. We
agree to the Villages suggestion that this increased right-of-way and construction
cost be handled as a public improvement project to be assessed against benefitted
properties, of which ours will be a substantial part. Such project is anticipated
to initially include the cost of additional right-of-way, the development of the
suggested intersection design of 70th at a time determined necessary by the Village,
and further the upgrading of the two-lane service road as traffic demands dictate.

Page 2 January 14, 1971
The fact that the State Highway Department proposes to build a four-lane
service road for the temporary by-pass of Highway 700 (where.the service
road is parallel to the present highway) should reduce that portion of final
construction cost to some degree. The principal remaining cost would be
widening the proposed 30 foot paved width to a four lane facility to the
north, construction of the modified intersection with 70th Street, and
additional necessary right-of-way. Though the Village may decide to up-
grade portions of the work at a later date, we suggest acquisition (and assess-
ment thereof) of right-of-way along with present Highway Department develop-
ment to insure future development standards. We also favor the early develop-
ment of the intersection design at 70th Street to insure adequate protection for
the residential areas to the north.
We are most appreciative of the Council's, Planning Commission's, staff's and
citizen's time, interest, and support of our proposed development. You may
count on us to fulfill our portion of the necessary mutual effort of the municipal
and private sector to produce an outstanding development over the anticipated
8 to 10 year period projected in this case.
Thank you for your helpful suggesfions and cooperation.
Yours very truly,

area West of the proposed Dewey Hill Road extensions contain a ponding area, \
and three areas of low density mixed residential development centered on
major hill groups and separated by green strips of open space along the natural
drainage ways. The remainder of .the study area contains single family detached
homes and a proposed school and park site. Mr. West recalled that the Village
Attorney had indicated that the Western Edina Plan could be adopted by
resolution and that the zoning could be changed aa any time.
pointed out that this is a 'rplant' only and not a ticommittmentee.
Nordbye, representing Mr. 0. E. Madsen, urged approval of industrial develop-
ment as proposed on Cahill Road.
presented were Mr. and Mrs. Crawley, 5604 I?. 70th Street, Messrs. E. B. Haedecke;.
5524 W. 70th Street, Louis Polries, 7101 Fleetwood Drive, the resi-dent at 5700
Dewey Hill Road, Robert Klein, 7300 Claredon Drive and James Jundt, 7021 Lanham
Lane, who said that he bought his house on the basis of environment for his
family and that this industrial encroachment would destroy property values.
He added that he would rather see low income housing in the area than the
industrial zoning proposed. Mrs. Donna Rubens protested that she had moved
to Edina because of a "quality of life" which would be destroyed by the
encroachment of industrial development Nest of Cahill Road. Mrs, M. M. Aksoy,
5600 W. 70th Street, objected to the proposed high density apartments to be
constructed Southeast of Cahill School.
Road, said that he had been a member of the Citizens' Committee which had worked
on this plan and that the plan as presented did not include any'of the suggesr-
ions.made by the Committee.
the property on the F?est side of Cahill and South of IJ. 70th Street was zoned
R-2, rather than R-3 as presently indicated in the comprehensive plan.
Bredesen suggested that perhaps the Village, as well as residents, should
compromise and that possibly a six story apartment building might, be more
pleasing in appearance than a ventilator.on the roof of a two story warehouse.
Mr. FJilliam Lewis, Chairman of the Planning Commission, suggested that if the
area on the West side of Dewey Hill Road was developed with apartments, traffic
would have to exit on to W. 70th Street from Dewey Hill Road, rather than by
going to the South. He added that the Planning Commission had discussed the
possibility of Office Building Zoning-in the area but had felt that the
exposure was not good for office buildings, Councilman Johnson said that he
had made an on-site imspection and could find no reason why industrial zoning
should be extended West of Cahill Road and that, in his thinking, the plan
proposed by residents was closer to the way the area should be developed.
He agreed with Councilman Shaw that the cu1'-de-sac on Cahill Road should be
eliminated and that Dewey Hill Road should be left as it is at the present
time. In response to a lady in the audience who said that the Planning
Commission had not listened to residents, Mayor Bredesen commended the Plan-
ning Commission for its efforts and said that its interest, as well as the
interest of the Council, was for the welfare of the entire community.
added that the suggestions of residents had been taken into consideration in
the development of the plan. Requests were made by members of the audience
that a separate studyLb& made of traffic considerations in the area, that the
zoning of the corner of Old St. Patrick's Church be check and that specific
estimates of cost of pilings for industrial buildings be available so that
they could be compared with the cost of pilings for residential buildings.-
Following considerable discussion, Councilman Courtney's motion referring the
matter back to the Planning Commission was seconded by Councilman Johnson and ,
carried. I

road at T.H. 100 and 8. 70th Street at standards suggested by the study done
by Howard, Needles, Tamen & Bergendorf as reviewed by the Village Staff, Plan-

by the improvement of the standards of construction beyond that which the State
of Minnesota agrees to provide for these facilitiesan. Mr. Hyde made a clarifi-
cation as to the Minutes af January 4, 1971, in which he had been quoted as
saying that the ''cost of the improvements would certainly be assessed against
the developers, that they had been told that the Village does not intend to
spend General Funds and that certainly there would be no assessment against
the residential properties on the North side'$.
added that there would be no additional assessment to properties on the North

side of W, 70th Street, other than a normal residential assessment, inasmuch
as these properties had never been assessed for any street improvements.
Councilman Courtney questioned Mr. Dahlgren's letter, asking who determines
their "fair share".
the land South of the land currently under consideration, which has already
been developed, should assume some portion of the cost of running the road to
the North to give them access to the highway at W. 70th Street. Mr. Dunn
expressed hope that the four lane frontage road could be relocated by the
Highway Department because an additional thirty feet.of right-of-way would be
expensive and the State would not assume the cost.
additional width could not be dedicated on the plat because,the immediate
past owners had retained the land rights for any property required for thor-
oughfare.
Inc., ehich comppy is leasing the property in question, and Mr. Dahlgren
both publicly agreed that if Council would feel that it was fair for the
developers to pay all of the cost, then they would pay for it al, including
the cost of the sophisticated interchange at.W.*70th Street.
added that the developers are paying the cost for diverting the Nine Mile
Creek channel and suggested that any land thak-might be necessary for the
interchange be acquired as soon as possible before prices increase further.
Councilman Johnson was told that a wider service road would be necessary be-
cause of the additional volume of traffic that would gener8te from the devel-
opment. No further discussion was heard, whereupon Councilman VanValkenburg
offered the following ordinance, based onthe letter of January 14, 1971, from
Mr. Dahlgren and moved .its adoption:
