C-113 ASSESSMENT HEARING CONTINUED TO MARCH 17, 1975. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. and action taken as herein recorded: Pursuant to'due notice given, Assessment Hearing was conducted A. STREET IMPROVEMENT NO. C-113 IN THE FOLLOWING: York Avenue from South line of Yorktown Addition to W. 78th Street Mr. Hyde presented Analysis of Assessment showing total assessable cost at $500,552.19, proposed to be assessed against 4,928.15 feet at $101.57 per assess- able foot, against estimated assessment of $61,41 per assessable foot. Mr. Dunn recalled that it had been brought out at the improvement Hearing that difficult- ies were being encountered in obtaining the right-of-way and that a large share of the increase in the cost of the improvement was due to the high cost of con- demnation. Nr. Randy Cote, 4601 Wooddale Ave., one of the owners of a twenty-five acre tract of land West of York Avenue and South of W. 76th Street, objected that the four-land road is not serving his property as much as it is serving Soilthdale. He said that his group would be glad to donate land for the road if.his property, which had been purchased about ten years ago, had the same zoning as Southdale, but that $130,000 is too high a price for the prop-erty with its present industrial zoning. Mr. Dum recalled that the street is a continuation of the road pattern from W. 66th Street through Southdale and the Yorktown Addition, with the same basic right-of-way width and that there will hopefully be an improved access to , Interstate 494 somewhere in the vicinity of Xerxes Ave. of Mayor Van Valkenburg, Mr. Dunn explained that it had not been the policy of the City to use State Aid Funds in commercial and/or industrial arias. Hovden, representing Ebenezer Society, said that the additional cost of the improve- ment will mean about $40,000 to Ebenezer Society and that, while he did not object because Ebenezer Society was aware of the fact that the road would 3e going in when they purchased the property, he enphasized that housing for the elderly did not require a four-lane road. Mr. Luce explained that more trips per acre are generated from commercial than from industrial areas, but that there are also more roads in a commercial area than there would be in an industrial area. He added that if this property were commercial, another road would be needed xhich would be comparable to York Avenue. Following considerable discussion, Council- man Courtney's motion was seconded by Councilman Richards and carried, that the matter be continued to March 17, 1975, so that the Engineer, the Attorney and the Pinance,Direct.or could.attempt to deve1op;some alternate method of financing. In reply to a question Mr. Erlin FOLKE VICTORSEN PRD-5 ZONING REQUEST FOR "THE TIMBERS" CONTINUED TO MARCH 17, 1975. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Luce presented the petition of Mr. Folke Victorsen for zon- ing change from R-1 Residential District to FRD-5 Residential District and concept approval for "The Timbers" located generally orr the Southwest corner of Gleason Road and the Crosstown Highviy. He recalled that the last time Council had considered zoning for this property, concept plan approval had been granted for a number of apartment units at the base of the tiill with some single family development on the upper portion of the hill. Mr. Luce recalled that extreme neighborhood opposition had developed, that the Environmental Quality Commission 34 2/24/75 had felt that the fill that would have to be placed .in the valleys wduld be extreme, and that the Fire Department had felt that the grades would be too steep for its emergency vehicles. 'Nr. Luce added that, in reviewing final development plans, the planning Commission, while not actually denying the plan,'had encouraged Mr. Vict- orsen to try to develop the site in a different,manner., Nr. Luce said that the Planning Commission had. acknowledged that the lots on the lake were extremely valuable property and that, in asking that the property be given up, had recog- r zed that higher overall density would have to be permitted on the site. the3 presented Mr. Victorsen's reyised plan and a graphis of the site of approximately twenty acres which showed a four, five acd six.story building containing.160 units with the mass of the building fitting into a ravine so that the top of the buflding would nct extend above the height of the hill, and with eight units per acre. Council was reminded that the Western Edina Plan calls for four units per acre. Polke-Victorsen, 6440 Indian Hills Pass, said that tliis is the first time he has had the approval of the Environmental Quality Commission and of the Planning Com- mission. He introduced his architect, Mr. Larson, who showed a model of the pro- posed development and responded to questions from the.audience on the amenities of the development. Mr. Larson said that it is anticipated'that the apartments will be occupied by older residents and that the building would only be visible from the Crosstown Highway and that, even there, it would be substantially screened by trees that are growing at the edge of the site. Objecting to the proposal on the grounds that it is a substantial departure from the four.units per acre recom- mended in the Western Edina Plan, that it would bring too many cars into a school area, that it is not in character with the neighborhood and that the hill should remain as open space were Dr. Lawrence Gold, 6610 Gleason Road, Messrs. Bernard Gunderson, 6405 Indian Pond Circle, Gerald Ekberg, 6513 Navaho Trail, Kent Calhoun, 6617 Gleasoo Road, F. S. Webster, 6409 McCauley Circle, Dick Seaberg, President of the Viking Hills Association and Mrs. Ann Carrier, 6409 Indian Pond Circle. They contended that the building really has the elevation of an eight story structure. Mr. Haugen submitted a petition which he said contained 163 signatures opposing concept approval and the zoning cliange of the property, based primarily on "the height and population density of the proposed structure". In response to a question of Mayor Van Valkenburg, Mr. Erickson said that the PRD Orginance does require a certain amount of open space and requires that it be controlled by scenic easements, parkland dedications or a homeowners' association ownership, but that the property in question does meet all ordinance requirements. question of Mr. Darrell Boyd, 7204 Shannon Drive, Mr. Luce said that, assuming the proposal is approved, tire City would probably request Mr. Victorsen to provide access from McCauley Trail to Gleason Road. that he had approached the church twice to buy some of their land and had not been able to reach an agreement with them. Mr. Victorsen said that it would not be economically feasible to follow the suggestion of Dr. Glen Lewis, 6328 Gleason Road, that the plan be changed to eliminate the fifth and sixth floors, reducing the building to four stories of living space. fewer t;rips per day are gensrated from multiple family units than from single- gaily -development, 'islurphy, Jr., 6508 Indian Hills Road, .supporting Mr. Victorsen's proposal. In response to a question of Mayor Van Vallcenburg, Mr. Rosland,said that the site under discussion is not on the final list of land recommended by the Open SFace Conunittee because there is a park already across the street. said that, while he recognized the rationale of the Planning Commission trade-off of eight units per acre for the preservation of the hill, he was concerned that eight units was a great increase over the recommendation of the Western Edina Plan. Councilman Courtney said that he believed that Mr. Victorsen had submitted many plans for this property over the years and that he could never please all of the neighbors. He recalled that when the Western Edina Plan was accepted, it was a ' - apartment, he believed that 3k. Victorsen had a right to develop his property. He then moved that the concept be accepted as recommended by the Planning CommZssion. Councilwoman Schmidt said that she believed that, becauso, land development has such an impact on the quality of their lives, the citizens of an area should have a voice in 'these.decisions. reduced to 4% or 5 units per acre with three livable stories and one story of park- ing. along'the line of the E'lanning Commission recommendation. motion died €or the lack of a second. Councilwoman Schmidt's motion was then seconded by Councihan Shaw and carried, that the matter be continued to March 17, 1975, to see if Mr. Victorsen can bring a neM proposal with a lesser density to the Council. Mr. Victorsen told Council that he could not come out financially with ' the reduction proposed in the size of the buildhg, SWIMMING POOL FILTRATION EQUIPMENT BID AWAP?ED. bids for filtration equipment for the swimming pool, whereupon Councilman Shaw's Mr. Luce Mr- In reply to a Mr. Victorsen told Mrs. Ann Overholt Mr. Luce recalled that st-uaies show -that .

City Attorney Erickson told Council that the City cannot be more.restrictive than the State Building Code unless action could be taken under the unsafe building feature. Nr. Erickson will discuss the matter with the Building and Fire Departments.
