HANSON) ZONING REQUEST DENIED. Affidavits of Notice were'presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Xr. Luce presented the request of Mr. Robert Hanson for rezoning of property known as Shadow Hill Center located generally on the Northwest corner of the Crosstown. Highwzy and County Road 18 from R-l Residential District to PC2 and PC1 (4) Plavaed Commercial Districts. a shopping center on the West side of Vernon Avenue and to construct an office development on the East side of Vernon Avenue and recalled that this use had been excluded from the Western Edina plan. Hr. Luce referred to the shopping center which is to be developed' in Minnetonka just West of County Road 18 and added that the question of the road to the South of the property under discussion has not yet been resolved. erably more traffic than multiple zoning would generate. Planning Commission and the staff had recommended that the proposal be denied for the following reasop: I. The proposal is totally inconsistent with the Western Edina Plan and was identified as being hconsistent when that plan was approved; 2. The development of such a shopping center and office facilities would.have deleterious affect on adjacent land users who developed with confidence in A transportation system does not now exist, nor have public funds been ear- marked, to provide a transportation system which could accommodate the volumes of-traffic expected to be generated from this development. HI-. &mes Christensen of Real Estate Research Corporation presented slides indica- ting- proposed developxez& for the site which contains 85,000 square feet on the West side of Vernon Avenue and 23,000 square feet on the East side of Vernon Avenue. He recalled that this is the first time that the proposal has come to the Council and said that there is a need.for.such. a..developmezlt in Edina and that there is no iiidication that Western Ediaa would be dependmt on the Einnetodca development. Mr. Christensen said that a land use,plan is only a general guide to assist in. making land dsvelopment decisions and that policys and that these policys shoul-d reflect the basic needs and desires of Edina residents and yield orderly develop- menc. Grandview are8 and that this would be the most reasonable use for the property. Discussion ensued as to traffic patterns and the generation of traffic volumes which would be brought about by the proposed development. Mr. Christensen pointed out that the Opus I1 development in Minnetonka would double the distance residents would have to travel to reach a shopping center. He added that all of the traffic which would be generated by Shadow Hill Center could be put on Vernon Avenue with- out upgrading that street. Councilmen Courtney and Shaw recalled that the Western Edina Flan had specifically omitted any commercial development from the area. Iir. Bert Whitbreati, a resident of the Edina West condominium development, referred to a petition signed by approximately 50 other Edina West residents opposing the .rezoning which had been presented to the Planning Commission at its meeting of April 30, 1975. Mr. Ifarcel Sutton,.a resident of Edina West, said that he wauld never have bought his condominium if he had thought that such a development would be constructed and that he would move out if the development is approved.

That Council had specifically ordered the redrafting of the Western Edina Plan to eliminate any provision for commercial development; 2. Because residents of the area had relied upon the fact that there was to be no commercial zoning in the area; 3. 'Because there is no public. transportation system; and 4. Because of the possibility that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources would not approve drainage of water from the properqy.

Macke, 1709 Fleetwood Drive, opposing any type of apartnent house development on the site. Mr. Luce advised that originally the Environmental Quality Commission and the staff had recommended construction of the five story building, but in deference to the wishes of residents in the area, 'ne is now recommendiag that the building be restricted to three stories. Mr. Dennis Madden, representing Lowry Hill Enterprises, Inc., explained that. the proposal, is to build a concrete Type I building and that it is uneconomical to construct this type of building if they are allowed only three stories. He pointed out that the-first phase would include 276 rental units which would revert to condoininiums after the sale of condominiums in the second phase. Mr. James Coopeman, architect retained by Lowry Hill Enterprises, Inc., said that the building as proposed would be a good buffer between the industrial and single family residential area.,-=He presented a site plan showing a config- uration of qhe building which indicated that the building would cover only 19% of the land', with the remainder in open space. area over which he superimposed pictures of the proposed apartment so that the impact of the building could be observed by residents and by Council. recalled that the Southwest Edina Plan limits the PRD-3 Planned Residential District to four stories. come to depend on the creditability of Council arid of the Planning Commission and that the people do not wact a five story building constructed on the site.

Mr. Courtney recalled that on August 20, 1973, a four-story building had been petition containing 62 signatures of residents objecting to the five story building. Mr. Madden explained tharwetlands on the site would have to be drained if the three story building is to be constructe6. talked to Mr. Jack Barron, a builder who lives "up on the hill" and that Mr. Barron had indicated that he would have no objection to the five story proposal.

Mr. Richards recalled that at the time First Reading had been granted, Mr. Luce had been directed to see if the building could be lowered by one story by the elimination of some park- ing spaces. Mr. Luce said that elimination of one level of parking would mean that an additional number of off-street spaces would be required and that that would be highly undesirable. 9e recalled that a few years ago a study made by the City had indicated that two stalls were required for each apartment unit, but that requirement had now been reduced so that 1.25 enclosed and 0.75 outside stalls are now recommended for each apartment unit. CouncilmAn Richards then questioned the precedence of requiring dedication of park land as well as cash, and was told that this was not normally required.
