P-BA-202 * IN THE FOLLOWING: Dovre Drive from Parkwood Lane to Lincoln Drive (Access to the Dominick Road/ County Road 18 Interchange presently under construction) Mr. Dunn recalled that, at the meeting of January 6, 1975, the hearing on Street Improvement P-BA-202 had. been approved in concept and continued to this meeting to determine the feasibility of relocating the extension of Dovre Drive Northerly thru Lot 3, Block 1, proposed Parkwood Knolls 19th Addition. Mr. Dunn said that, because of the 15% grade at that location, the road would be impossible to use except in the most favorable weather conditions. He said that the Rauenhorst Corporation had requested that the matter be continued to the next meeting so that they could give the use of their property more consideration. that the project be approved, but that options as to the exact location of the road be kept open until discussion of the Parkwood Knolls 19th Addition later in this meeting. said that, with the approval of the Council and the Rauenhorst Corporation, the trees could be saved by going to the North on the East side of the creek, but that the trees on the West side of the creek could not be saved in any event. Council- man Richards suggested that the Dovre Drive extension could be constructed between Field Way and the existing Dovre Drive and was told by Mr. Dunn that the grade at this location would be too steep. Mr.'Dunn suggested the possibility of making Dovre Drive from Biscayne Blvd. to'Parkwood Lane a one way westbound street which would keep traffic from entering the area from the West. Reference was made to a letter from Mr. Karl F. Diessner which alleged that the proposed improvement would have no benefit to persons living on Knoll Drive and that the'proposed extensive assessments against non-benefitted properties will result in litigation". Mrs. Helen McClellan of the Parkwood Knolls Traffic Association said that one-way roads would be awkward. said that she could see no reason to hold up the improvement any longer. woman Schmidt's motion authorizing the bprovemeilt and leaving the exact location to the discretion of the Engineer was then seconded by Councilman Shaw and carried.

Mr, Dunn said that, after'talking with the Hansens about future development of the area, he believed that it would be a restraint on the development of the property to push the road through at this time. Mr. Jack Rice of the Park Board said that he hoped a road would not. be an- encumbrance .on where a park might eventually go and and said that any road West of Malibu Drive extended straight North would not interfere with any plans of the Park Board. of the cemetary should be clarified before any final decision is made and requested that the Hansens make a firm commitment as to the location of the park- land dedication before their next plat is approved. In response to a question of Mayor Pro Tem Courtney, Mr. Rice said that it was his understanding that Mr. Hmsen had agreed that the entire 100 acre area would be platted at one time. Mr. Dunn explained that the proposed rcad would not be used for access to South- bound County Road 18 until the highway is completed in approximately 1% years and that it would be two or three years before the Northerly portion of County Road 18 is completed ghr? the City of Hopkins. He added that it will probably be 1979 before County Road 18 is entirely completed in the area and that, therefore, there is no particular rush in constructing the proposed street improvement. Mr. Rice suggested that the future Mr. 2/3/75 Harvey Hansen, developer of the area, said that his company is prepared to proceed with the master plan at this time but will not be able to commit themselves defin- itely for a few months. but that it must be built where it will fit with the master plan. Councilman Shaw requested that the staff make its plans for the Westerly extension of Interlachen Blvd. known to the Council. the master plan for the area. must order an improvement within six mon+,hs from the date of a hearing, Mayor Pro Tem Courtney said that, if Interlachen Road is included, there would need to be a new hearing. Councilman Shaw then moved that Street Improvement No. P-A-17.5 be tabled to June 16, 1974, to see what action is taken on the-master plan for the area. The motion was seconded by Council.woman Schmidt and carried. Councilwoman Sc'midt thereupon offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the C%ty of Edina, Minnesota, that this Council heretofore caused notice of hearing to be duly published and mailed to owners of each parcel within the area proposed to be assessed on the following proposed improvement: He agreed that there should be a road out to County' Road 18 Mr. Dunn explained that these plans would be a part of In response to Mr. Erickson's remark that Council . 1.
