IMPROVEMENTS P-0119 AND P-BA-214 ABANDONED AT PUBLIC HEARING. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Due notice having been given, public hearing was conducted and action taken as hereinafter recorded. CONSTRUCTION OF GRADING, GRAVELING, PERMANENT STREET SURFACING WITH CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER IMPROVEMENTS NO. C-119 AND NO. BA-214 IN THE FOLLOWING: North Frontage Road TF 62nd Street Crosstown from Gleason Road to Vernon Avenue 00 €- Mr. Dunn, noting the location of the proposed frontage road off of the public right-of-way, proposed taking.a 60' foot right-of-way from private property at a total estimated cost, exclusive of right-of-way costs, if any, of $245,888.23; the improvement to be assessed at $30.00 per assessable front foot against the abutting property and the balance of the cost to be paid from Municipal State-Aid gas tax funds. Mr. Hyde stated the matter was brought to hearing since it has been in the Western Edina Plan for some time and recent planning and zoning decisions involving affected property owners have necessitated a final decision on the construction of the road. He recalled the last action was in June, '74 when the Council said the cul-de-sac on Vernon near Walnut would go in when traffic becomes excessive and after the construction of the frontage road. Mr. Dick Seaberg, 6108 Arctic Way, President of Viking Hills Homeowners Association and representing the majority of people in the Tamarac-Walnut Drive.area as well as Killarney Shores, spoke in opposition to the frontage road. He said there would be a significant traffic increase due to Opus I1 development on the west side of County Road 18, thus generating additional traffic through the County Road 18 diamond interchange and onto the new frontage road or Vernon Avenue; potential traffic accidents at frontage road & Gleason and Tamarac &Vernon; and additional noise generated. Mr. Katter of Partnership Investments stated their site as currently preliminarily platted is based on a private roadway, and if the frontage road is constructed, their structures would be in violation of the ordinances. and the existing hazardous condition of speeding was noted by Mr. Jim Johnson, 6134 Arctic Way. Mr. Seaberg then gave a possible solution: use the existing highway system, County Road 18 and Crosstown 62, with private drives for access to the property along the Crosstown and the construction of a cul-de-sac on Vernon Avenue west of Walnut Drive. He presented petitions from 116 homes oppos- ing the frontage road and requesting a cul-de-sac west of Walnut Drive on Vernon. Because of lower traffic volume past residential homes and better pedestrian safety, Mr. Jack Ziegler, 6012 Tamarac, opposed the frontage road, even though it causes personal inconvenience to him. Mr. Clyde Hegman, Chairman of the Board of Edina Masonic Lodge, indicated the Lodge accepts the proposal as submitted by Mr. Dunn, Director of Public Works, and would support it enthusiastically. He further remarked that the site was purchased on the basis that the Western Edina Plan showed a frontage road. designed for emergency vehicles, Mr. Ziegler stated an effective police patrol could control the traffic; however, Mr. Bob Nolan, 6153 Artic Way commented emergency vehicles would use the freeway system. Jim Thorpe, 5901 Walnut Drive and Helen McClelland, Parkwood Knolls Traffic Association, requested more time for notification to residents involved. Mr. Robert Hanson, owner of property south of Edina West and west of Fountainwood, south of Krahl Hill along Vernon Avenue, approved the frontage road. Mayor Van Valkenburg expressed concerns on traffic patterns, emergency vehicle access, and land use for the road; and, therefore, suggested denying the frontage road and delaying the cul-de-sac project. In answer to Councilman Shawls question on the inconvenience on the Masonic Lodge property, Mr. Hegman stated a public service road would add greater access to the property than private entry. cul-de-sac on the general principle that it doesn't make much sense to provide access to one part of the community while walling off another, no matter how much m I The obstruction of view by trees at the bend of the road on Gleason In answer to Mr. Hyde's concern on a cul-de-sac Councilman Shaw also commented that he opposed the 11/17/75 1 t traffic is generated. Councilman Richards remarked that the frontage road only transfers the problem from one road to another; and on the cul-de-sac issue, Dovre was designed to lead traffic via the diamond onto major arteries. He further suggested moving the cul-de-sac farther west stating emergency vehicles could come from the east to service the apartments and the people living in that area, and recommends deferring any decision until Opus 11 develops further. Councilwoman Schmidt favored the frontage road; and in answer to her question, Mr. Dunn stated the traveled way could be cut down to 36 feet. She also suggested deferring the cul-de-sac and to bear in mind that Vernon Avenue has never been a through street. In answer to Mr. Hanson, Mr. Dunn remarked that the County and State are not particularly interested in making any footage avail- able; however, if the Council is of the opinion that this frontage road should be built, a request can be made again. After considerable discussion, COUNCILMAN RICHARDS THEN MOVED to deny the request for the frontage road and to defer any decision on the cul-de-sac, either for future study or future volume on the road. In answer to Councilmen Courtney and Shawls concern for access to the Masonic Lodge, Mr. Erickson stated the site was purchased without having a road and variances on the zoning code can be provided; a plan is a plan only and until implemented, it stands as such. Councilman Shaw seconded the motion; and on roll call, Councilman Courtney voted aye; Councilman Richards, aye; Council- woman Schmidt, no; Councilman Shaw, no; Mayor Van Valkenburg, aye. Mayor Van Valkenburg commented that when the cul-de-sac matter reoccurs, the people on Gleason and those in the View Lane-Schaefer and Parkwood areas should be advised of any discussions at that time. Projects abandoned on 3-2 vote. SANITARY SEWER DIPROVEMENT NO. P-SS-327 APPROVED. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, presented as to form and ordered placed on file.

Mr. Luce further stated that many residents in the Edina West con- dominium-development purchased their property with a reliance on the decision to use the land for multiple residential. Mr. Arthur Doten, Faegre & Benson, representing the First Wisconsin National Bank of Milwaukee, said the property in question has been purchased through foreclosure;.and as soon as the one-year redemption period expires, First Wisconsin will be the titleholder. He con- tinued that First Wisconsin opposes the proposal recommended by the Commission as it limits the market for their land, and it is unnecessary to alter the Affidavits of Notice .11/17/75 Western Edina Plan until a specific development has been proposed.
