by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
that on May 3, 1971, Council had requested that the homeowners and developers
interested in the Southwest Edina Plan meet with the Planning Department to
attempt to reach a compromise.
Residential District development for the Southwest Edina area, rather than R-3
or R-4 Multiple Residence District development, that the apartments have access
to Cahill Road and not limited to Dewey Hill Road, and that the area located
Emmediately Vest of the pond North of present Dewey Hill Road be zoned PRD-2,
allowing a maximum of six units to the acre and that the other six units be used
on another part of the Madson property. Residents had also requested that the
nineteen acre park and the Southern ponding area within the quarter-section line
be developed to four units per acre, rather than with twelve units per acre as
requested, Developers had agreed to all conditions except the last mentioned,
since they felt that they had already agreed to dedicate a large area of park
land. Nr. Luce added that four residents out of six voted that, if the only
.way to get the nineteen acre park and waterway to the South would be to grant
twelve units to the acre, then that would be acceptable. Mr. Luce said that
the Planning Commission has now recommended approval of the Southwest Plan as
proposed at Council Meeting of May 3, 1971, with the following revisions:
1)
the apartments be granted access on Cahill Road;
the four-acre pond on Hr. Madson's property be zoned PRD-2 (6 units per acre)
. Mr, James R. Jundt, 7021 Lanham Lane, said that neighbors had compromised but
that the developers have not made any pampl;omise; He urged that Council once
again refer the Southwest Edina Plan back to the P1anning:Commission with the
recommendation that condominium or town house development be approved so that
occupants would have a vested interest in the Village. Mr. Jundt said that the
Planning Commission had been totally unresponsive to citizens' requests and
requested figures to support the contention of the developers that the develop-
* ment which they proposed was the only development which was economically sound.
He added that he would--be perfectly satisfied with PRD-2 development.
Bredesen-said that the financial affairs of the developers should not influence
Council's decision in the matter.
believe that it would be reasonable to expect single family dwellings adjacent
to.industria1 property, that he believes that the proposal is a fair and
reasonable balance of interest for the homeowners to the West and the owners
of the property in question and that Council must keep in mind that they might
have the Courts to deal with if the proposal is denied. Mr. Johnson added
that Council has control over plans in the Planned Residential Districts qnd
agreed that town houses or condominiums would be desirable for the area. Mr.
Frank.Dean, 5716 Dewey Hill Road, said that he was one of the four members of
the Citizens' Committee who were willing to accept the "credit of twelve'' and
that he had agreed only under the assumption that without giving the "credit
of 'trwelve" there would be no park land donated along the area at all.
added that it was felt that it was more to their advantage to accept the
additional people in order to gain the strip of park land, since it would pro-
vide a buffer which would prevent this land from being zoned for some other
multiple use.
concur with the other four and they would grant a maximum of four units per
acre credit for the park and pond. Mayor Bredesen referred to a letter from
Mrs. Dorothy Palmer objecting because it is not proposed to grant industrial
zoning for her father's property at.7208 Cahill Road.
Fleetwood Drive, was told by Mr. Hyde that Chief Bennett had repeatedly told
him that there is no difference in the crime rate in the Village between
single family areas and apartment areas.
Hyde, Mr. Vhitlock advised that the Village has no control over t*.pe of owner-.:
ship.
Lanham Lane, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burns, 5820 Dewey Hill Road, expressed
objections to the proposal. Mr. Ronald Jacha, 6812 Dakota Trail, said that he
had been told that Edina would be 40% apartments by 1985 and objected to the
number of apartments in the Village generally. Mr. Luce said that he had made
along freeways. In response to a question from the audience, Councilman Shaw
said that he had been told, but that he could.not vouch for the fact, that there
would be 1,142 more people in the area if developed as proposed rather than if

The plan is developed around a "modular land use" concept. Centered around the
outstanding topographical features the varying land uses are focused into self-
contained units spatially separated by parks, "green belts", open water or
topographical variations . These "modular units" are sized and positioned to
encourage developments to be imaginative, taking advantage of the topography

A land use plan is a general guide to assist in making land development and
redevelopment decisions. It is a set of policies which should yield orderly
development when properly implenented. Such policies reflect both the needs and
desires of Edina residents, the objective, of course, being to satisfy their
desires without compromising their basic needs.
in this comprehensive plan have been developed following long hours of public
hearings with the residents and property owners of the plan area.
The concept map which accompanies this text graphically portrays the relationships
which are intended to implement the development policies approved by the Village

The Vilaage should therefore consider different patterns and types of housing
throughout Edina including high and low rise apartments, townhouses, and cluster

these do not have application in Southwest Edina, but low rise apartments,
townhouses, and cluster housing nay be appropriate in specific locations. As a
general statement, the use of open space and low and medium density residential
areas should be used to buffer the low density detached housing from the
industrial area along Cahill Road.
Cluster detached housing as permitted by Planned Residential District requirements
should be considered in any low density area of Southwest Edina where appropriate

We must: protect the natural environment (topography, water, air, soils, and
vegetation) and people and property from natural hazard; provide adequate quanti-
ties of permanent open space to maintain an environmental balance; conserve
necessary natural resources; and wherever possible, replace or renew damaged
resources.
Southwest Edina has an abundance of natural amenities that will require protection,
These are the Nine Mile Cresk, its watershed areas, lakes and ponds, hills and
wood lots.
1.
The means to protect and conserve these features are as follows:
Eliminate all potential water and air pollution sources.
2. Easements, dedication or purchase of permanent wetlands, natural flowage
channels, ground water recharge areas, mature wood lots, and wildlife areas.
3. Ezsements, dedication or purchase of land along the shorelines of streams and
lakes to minimize flood losses, to provide adequate channel capacity and to
allow public access.
4. Cluster development, selective clearing and sensitive design to preserve and
enhance existing topography and natural vegetation.
Preliminary drawings for 23-1 proposed developments should be submitted to the
Village showing a11 existing natural features, including trees.
should be submitted to the Watershed District Board of Managers or their consul-
tants for all sites in close proximity to the Nine Mile Creek.
100 feet (depending on topography) on both sides of the creek should be acquired
by the Village through dedicsrtion or easement. No structures of any kind should
be built within 100 feet of the creek centerline except bridges and culverts.

at a later date if the interchange is approved by the Metropolitan Council. It
would appear that an interchange on County Road 18 should be provided to permit
access to Edina at some point between 1-494 and the Crosstown Highway. The
existance of the industrial development west of County Road 18 and the Braemar
Park sports complex demands some means of access to County Road 18 in this area.
If this access is not provided, traffic generated by these facilities would be
forced to travel considerable distances through residential neighborhoods to reach
the Crosstown Highway, 1-494, or Highway 100. This is particularly undesirable in
view of the large crowds regularly drawn by sporting events at Braemar.
Precise designs and location will be determined
The Southwest Edina Plan depicts a full cloverleaf interchange at the intersection
of 1-494 and County Road 18 in place of the present diamond interchange. This is
necessary because of the elevation of County Road 18 to full limited access status.
The intersection of two limited access highways requires a full cloverleaf inter-
section to function properly.
The Southwest Edina Plan also calls for a full interchange located on 1-494 at
sone point approximately midway between the full cloverleaf interchanges at
Highway 100 and at County Road 18.

Discussion ensued as to the tax benefit from various types of development.
Mr. John Nurphy, 6201 Loch Moor Drive, said that he owns apartment buildings
and that they are not generally occupied by people with children.
Telfer, 5717 Hawkes Drive said that, with good planning, the Village can have
good multiple dwelling areas as well as good single family dwelling areas.

could require dedication of park property prior to the zoning of the balance

that Council be put in aposition of telling people how they can develop
their property and noted that the Courts would tell the Village that it
cannot refuse certain zoning requests. He added that he believes that the
proposal does protect the area. Mr. William Howard, 5808 Dewey Hill Road,
said that as one of the'members of the committee, it was his understanding
that there was no question but that the park land would be dedicated. Mr.
Roger Nordby, attorney representing Mr..O. E. Madsen, said that Mr. Madsen
would dedicate park land if he had a binding contract with the.Village.
Councilman Johnson recalled a suggestion that if the Village agreed to rezone
the property, developers would dedicate park lands to the Village. Mr.
Whitlock said that this Council cannot bind any future Council to make a
rezoning. Mr. Hyde suggested that developers submit their zoning requests
with their plat, showing the property to be dedicated as park land and then
bring in their unit development for approval at a later date. In response
to a question from the audience, Mr. Hyde said that there has been no request
for rezoning the property on which the Montessori School is located.

Olson, owner of the property at 7200 Cahill goas, said that he had given his
assurance to the Committee and to the Planning Commission that park lands on
his property would be dedicated. Mr. Roger Findell, owner of the property to
the North of Mr. Olson's property, also agreed to dedicate the park land on
his property. It was noted that Mr. R. K. Strom, the owner of the property
which is zoned R-3 Multiple Residence District South of TJ. 70th Street and

under the Southeast Edina Plran, which was granted preliminary approval on
May 18, 1970, libraries are permitted in the Regional Commercial Area only.
He presented the request of Hennepin Co'bnty Commissioners for a change in the
plan to permit construction of a Regional Library in the Office and High
Density Area of Southeast Edina. Mrs. John T. Helgeson, 5513 Highwood Drive,
spoke for the Friends of the Library and urged that Council do everything
possible to encourage the building of the Regional Library as now proposed.
Councilman Johnson said that he would like to publicly acknowledge and thank
County Commissioner Thomas Olsen,who was in attendance at the meeting, as well
as Commissioners Jack Provo and David Lindgren fro reconsidering and agreeing
to build the Regional Library in Edina.
Architect, introduced Mr. James Stageberg of Hodne Stageberg Partners, Inc.,
who has been commissioned by Hennepin County to be the designer of this project.
Nr. Stageberg presented site and building plans for the Regional Library which
