Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Mr. Hughes presented Parkwood Knolls 20th Addition for preliminary plat approval,
advising that this 102 acre tract of land is located South of Interlachen Blvd.,
North of Parkwood Road, West of Schaefer Road and East of Lincoln Drive. He
explained that the developer has submitted a proposed development plan for the
entire 102 acre parcel, but thzt only the Southeast 23 acres are proposed for
immediate development. Nr. Hughes advised that, for procedural purpases, the
staff recommends that the development plans for the entire 102 acre tract be
considered as a preliminary plat, and, if the preliminary plat is approved, the
proponents would return with a final plat for only the 23 acre tract which would
be known as Parkwood Knolls 20th Addition. Mr. Hughes pointed out that the pre-
liminary plat proposes the extension of TJillow Wood Road, Larade Road, Larada
Lane, Ridge Road, Malibu Drive and Interlachen Blvd. (which is proposed to be
extended in a circuitious pattern to discourage excessive thru traffic). Mr.
Hughes also advised that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the
plat without extending Ridge Road, but that the staff had recommended that Ridge
Road be extended.
existing traffic patterns in the area (Issue Area 4) and that on July 1, 1974,
the Council had tabled consideration of circulation patterns for the area until
a development proposal was submitted for the entire Northwest Edina area. Mr.
Hughes also recalled that the Council Minutes indicated that when such a plan
was submitted, it should include some access to the North at the bfaloney Avenue/
County Road 18 interchange;
Knolls subdivisions, the developers and the City have entered into agreements
whereby parkland dedication was deferred until the City determined the location
of En area park and that the developers are suggesting that the accrued parkland

dedication from the subject property be located adjacent to the precently
acquired City property to the North.

2) The proposal conforms with the Western Edina Circulation Plan, with the
exception of the extension of Interlachen Blvd.;

to serve the subject property are warranted and provide for the maximum
dispersal of traffic generated from the subject property as well as from exist-
ing developments; 5) Low areas are appropriately used for storm water holding
areas; 6) An adequate access can be provided to Outlot 3 of Interlachen Hills .
3rd Addition; and 7) Dedication of parkland adjacent to existing City property
is desirable. Mr. Hughes advised that approval is recomended, subject to the
following conditions and modifications:
the County Road 18 interchange immediately as part of final approval for Park-
wood Knolls 20th Addition; 2) The proposed parkland dedication for the entire
prelidnary plat must be made immediately, with either an additional 1.15
acres to be dedicated or cash in lieu of such acreage;

received , which petitions were signed by residents living on Willow Wood Road,
Westwood Court and Schaefer Road. Council's attention was called to the Minutes
of the Special Park Board Meeting of January 14, 1978, in which the Park Board
recommended the dedication of Lots 4, 5 and 6, and that the Council direct the
staff to negotiate for the acquisition of Lots 1, 2 and 3 (said lots being arbi-
trarily numbered along the Southeast edge of the park area). Mr. Liebenberg was
advised by Mr. Hoffman that Ridge Road would not need to be widened inasmuch as
it is anticipated that there would be only 100 cars using it per day.
for the safety of children with the additional traffic was expressed by Mrs.
Annette Hubble and Mrs. Frankie Stevens, 5305 Kingsberry Drive. Concern that
widening Ridge Road would cause potential danger of water damage to houses below
grade on Ridge Road was expressed by Mrs. S. L. Pistner, 5109 Ridge Road and
Mrs. G. V. Lowrie, 5025 Ridge Road. Mr. Donald Harvey, 6412 Willow Wood Road,
suggested that widening Ridge Road on the West side would not cause any problems.
Messrs. Tom Scoggins, Ray Burns and Jack Liebenberg, all of Ridge Road, expressed
their concern that the unique contour of the road would make it unsafe for
additional traffic and that widening would be impractical.
otherneighburswere Mrs. Helen Bergerud, 5100 Ridge Road, Mr. Hans Scalle, 5021
Ridge Road, Mrs. Ann Rutledge, 5116 Ridge Road, and two unidentified speakers.
Stating that the area needs additional routes for ingress and egress were Mrs.
Robert Johnson, Mrs. Margery Tourje and Messrs. Barron Boe and Edward Marks.
Residents were assured that Malibu Drive would be extended to the iJorth, ever,
before the area to the West is platted.
advised that the Park Board had held a special meeting to inspect the property
and emphasized its recommendation that Lots 4, 5 and 6 be dedicated to the City
for park purposes. Mayor Van Valkenburg said that, while Mr. Hoffman had indi-
cated that it would not be necessary at this time to widen Ridge Road, he could
not guarantee that it would never be widened at some future time. The Mayor
said that he believed that Ridge Road should be extended as another access out
of the area to disburse :the traffic as much as possible.
said that he agrees with the Mayor and added that he does not believe that it'is
fair to shift the traffic burden to only one segment of the neighborhood.

for Northwestern Bank Addition and first readiag of Ordinance No. 811-All2 for
rezoning the site (located on the Northwest quadrant of Valley
Washington Avenue) from PID Planned Industrial District to 0-1 Office District
so that Banco Properties, Inc., might construct a detached banking facility.
Mr. Hughes explained that the subject property is a two acre tract of land which is
presently zoned Planned Industrial District in conformance with the Southwest
Edina Plan and that financial institutions are permitted only in the Office Dis-
trict. He said that the staff and Planning Commission reconmend the amendment to
the Southwest Edina Plan, final approval of Northwestern Bank Addition and Second
Reading of Ordinance No, 811-Al12, inasmuch as the improvements to the Valley View
Road/County Road 18 interchange are essentially complete, the area is well suited
for office uses, and the existing parcels of property in this area are below
minimum size requirements for Planned Industrial District USES and would require
variances to allow such uses. He clarified that such variances would not be
required for Office District zoning.
Mr. Hughes said that this rezoning would not be considered "spot zoning'' inasmuch
as the entire strip between County Road 18 and Washington Ave. north of Valley .
View Road is proposed to be rezoned. He added that residents on Valley View Road
who had been concerned with the Valley View Road/County Road 18 Interchange had
been notified of the proposal and that all of the letters that had been received
in response to the notice had been favorable. Councilman Richards indicated that
he had originally been concerned that such a change would cause traffic problems,
but that he is now convinced that no future problem would be created. Councilman
Courtney then offered the following resolution amending the Southwest Edina Plan.
and moved its adoption:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council does hereby amend the Southwest Edina
Plan by changing the following described property from Planned Industrial District
