PART OF TPACT A, R.L.S. NO. 567 DIVISION APPROVED. Mr. Luce recalled that
in June, 1972, the staff had recommended denial of a request to divide the
school and church of-the'First Christian Reformed Church of Minneapolis, 4075
Inglewood Avenue, because variances would be required for lack of church
parking and inadequate lot size. At that time, however, the staff was unaware
that these variances had been granted by the Board of Appeals in 1969 and ~eze
extended in 1970. Due to the Board of Appeals action and because of a 99 year
lease which was obtained by the church on the affiliated Calvin Christian
School property for parking, the staff and PPannin'g'Comission now recommend
that the division be approved,

called Council's attention to the Edina Environmental Quality Commission's
Bud Lake Task Force Report which consolidates and evaluates data generated by
various studies which had been previously authorized by the Council. He
advised also that the Environmental Quality Commission had dquested that
Council authorize reproduction of at least 100 copies of this report for
distribution to the Planning Commission and Park Board and made available for
the general public. The Environmental Quality Commission also recommended that
a nev7 task force, composed of the Eqjvir nmental Quality Commission, Park Board,
Planning Commission, and staff members/ >e ormed to recommend to Council a course
of action for development or nondevelopment of the Mud Lake area. The Envir-
onmental Quality Commission further suggested that this new task force be per-
mitted to hold public meetings to gain feedback from Edina residents prior to
making a final recommendation to the Council, and suggested names for possible

appoi tinkpt t the new Mud Lake Task Force. Mayor Bredesen made it clear that

perhaps, he would consider the suggestions of the Environmental Quality Com-
mission for appointment of members of the new Task Force.

Commission were only suggestions and made in an effort to assist Council with
