who lives at 4308 FJ. 70th Street said that it had been his understanding that'
Northern States Power would pay for the new lights. The possible use of some
existing poles was mentioned and Mr. Dunn said that if the lower wood poles
should be used, the cost would be about one-third less, Mr. Richard Siebert,
4804 W. 70th Street and Mr. John Freeman, 4400 W. 70th Street, both urged that

CALHOUN REALTY APPEAL’OF BOARD OF APPEALS AND ADJUSTMENTS DECISION CONTINUED TO
SEPTEMBER 9, 1974. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as
to form and ordered pladed on file.
houn Realty Company had applied for a permit to install a freestanding sign at
the Ndrtheast comer of its propdrty at 7100 France Avenue S., the Planning
‘ Department explained fully all requirements as Set forth by the Sign Ordinance,
including the fact that the sign would have to “have a minimum 19 foot setback
from the curb. A copy of the sign permit, noting the setback requirement and
the property line location, was mailed to the sign owner and the erector, and
the erectdr was again notified verbally of the property line and the setback
locations prior to installation of the sign. llr. Lewis E. Lohmann; attorney for
Calhoun Realty Company explained that his company is appealing the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments denial of the seven foot sehback variance. He pre-
sented a picture of the sign arid a petition signed by approximately 100 persons
who were employees, members and operators of businesses in the immediate vic-
inity of the Calhoun Realty, which petition requested that the sign be allowed
to stand as located for the following reasons: 1) That the sign is not a
nuisance;
and is not detrimental to the public health and welfare of the City of Edina
or the immediate vicinity;
movement of traffic nor does it interfere with traffic in any manner;
the sign does nat detract from the aesthetic values; 5) That ehe sign does not
Tnterfere with visibility;
in the vicinity’or zoning district; and 7:) That the sign is a distinct contfibu-
tion to the community, and that each of the petitioners state that the sign is
useful and convenient to them. Mr. Luce recalled that the Board of Appeals and
Adjustments had denied the variance request for the following reasons: 1) Any
hardship is self-imposed;
3) There is no substantial property right to preserve;
sents a detriment to public welfare. Mr. Lewis E. Lohmann, attdrney’for Calhoun
Realty Company, said that the sign was not improperly installed deliberately and
that it would cost”between $600 and $700 to move the sign. Mr. Lohmann-
recalled that on the vote of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, ME: Clark
Miller was. a Sales Manager for Bermel-Smaby and ‘Mr. Shaw had abstained from vot-
ing.
Lohmann had had other business dealings recently. He clarified that Mr. Lohmann
had not attempted to pressure him in this matter. Mr. Sand said that the sign
company had refused to accept any responsibility. Following considerable dis-
cussion, Councilman Johnson’s motion was seconded by Councilman Shaw and carried
that the matter be continued to September 9, 1974, so that Mr. Gendreau of
Calhoun Realty and a..repr@senDa$&v=r;ie of ttie sign company could be in attendance
to clarify the responsibility for installation of the sign-in violation of the

can be established. .Twenty-seven families signed the petition requesting a
moratorium on building construction until additional entrances and exits can
be established. Dr. Lloyd E. Pearson and Mr. Lloyd G. Cherne reviewed the
history of the-traffic problems in Western Edina and the actions taken by the
City over the past two years, and reqcested that some immediate action be
taken in compliance with the petitions. Mr. Erickson reviewed his opinion '
which he had given at irevious meetings that before the City opens a road, it
should be determined if the City has any rights to that road which might be
eEfected by any action-at this time. He said that the City should obtain a
Lleclatory Judgment from the Court as to whether or not we have a park dedica-
tion and if we do have a park dedication, whether or not we can open a road
that previously existed or that we now want to open. He clarified that with-
out Court action, nothing should be done.on the Walnut Drive access.
Erickson added thit it would be even more difficult to obtain permission to
cross IIUD properties and that it would be necessary to obtain permission from
the Chapel'Hills Church in order to construct the alternate road thru the park.

iums are frowned upon by the Courts.

Oliver, 6620 Parkwood Road, suggested that residents in his area could go South
on Blake Road and out on Olinger Blvd. as soon as Olinger construction is
completed. Councilman Johnson's motion commencing appropriate legal procedings
to establish Southern accesses to Vernon Avenue and that such procedings be
expedited died for lack of a second. Councilwoman Schmidt then moved that
any action should be deferred until results of the Olinger Road connection
are known after it is open for traffic.
Following considerable discussion, Mr. Cherne suggested the possibility of
extending Camelback Drive South to Gleason Road. Councilman Johnson's motion
was then seconded by Councilman Shaw and carried that the Engineering Depart-
ment explore the feasibility of the extension of Camelback Drive to Gleason
Road.
