He suggested that property in the 50th and France area is valuable real estate that would provide housing for Edina residents who have already raised their families and who would move into :: apartmentsif they were available at reasonable market rate prices. Mr. Phillips also contended that it should not be necessary to rely'on federally subsidized loans. Mr. Lawrence Laukka, 4513 Browndale Ave., and Mr. Robert Martinson spoke in opposition to the section of the ordinance which requires .5 total parking spaces per unit, in comparison to HUD's requirement of .25 parking spaces per unit. Mr. Martinson said that it would cost $4,000 per parking stall and that inside heated stalls could run as high as $10,000 per stall, Ee contended that these parking stalls would have to rent for $35,00 per month and that such rates would be a burden on elderly residents of the apartments. Hayor Van Valkenburg advised that the number of parking stalls required was based on an analysis made i by Mr. Luce and referred to the varlance contained in the ordinance under which one-half enclosed or exposed parking space is required per senior citizen dwelling unit in a senior citizen residence that has an entrance located within 500 feet of a public bus stop that has a minimum of 20 scheduled buses per day. commented that it is important to assist developers by encouraging them to bring this type of housing to the City,.

Mr, Hyde called Council's atteni tion to a letter signed by Mr. Lyle Bing, President of the 50t.h & France Business and Professional Association and by K. Perry Anderson, Chairman of the 50th and France Liaison Committee, expressing concern of merchants on 50th and France about the parking ban on France Avenue, Mr, Bing presented petitions signed by merchailts in the business distrsct, as well as customers, objecting to the fact that convenient parking is no longer available, He said that when the 50th and France improvements were started, merchants had not realized how the lack of on- street parking would affect business, Speaking in opposition to the parking ban were Mr. George Otis, owner of the Pro Am Color Lab at 4941 Prance Ave., Perry Anderson, Mr. Regis Yunker, owner of Nelsonrs Dry Goods, Mrs. Betty Gustaf- son of Nelson's Dry Goods and-Mr. John Zeck who said that he was speaking as a customer who trades in the area, as well as a friend of many of the merchants. Council was advised that too much emphasis is being put on "getting people through the area, rather than making it convenient for them to shop". Mention was made of the fact that business has dropped substantially in many stores, while the cost of doing business has increased. Speakers contended that shoppers will go where it is more convenient and that the problem is very serious. made to reinstate parking on France Ave. until the trazfic lights aye ttp and zhe project is complete, or that 15 to 20 minute parking be permitted between 9:00 a.m. aad 3:OO p.m. Mr, Luce agreed that there has been some loss of business in the area which was probably due to the fact that the area is still in transition, that the alley South of 50th Street hasn't been completed, and that the new sig+ nalization is not completely installed, He said that the traffic system won't work with parking on France Ave. 2nd that much of the investment made in the area would be lost if the ban is relaxed, Mr. Luce suggested that merchants should also be talking to Minneapolis officials to improve conditions on the East side of the business district. Following lengthy discussion, Councilman Courtney moved that the matter be referred to a joint meeting of the 50th and France Liaisun Committee and the Traffic Safety Committee and that Mr. Dunn, Mr. Luce and Mr. Hoffman attempt to work out a temporary plan that could be put into immedi- ate effect upon which the Council could act at its Special Meeting on February 12, 1977. the Traffic Safety Committee be reported to Council on February 28, 1977. was seconded by Ccuncilman Shaw.
