storm sewer imprdvement would be assessed to property owners within that
district. Mr. Hoffman advised that under the street improvement proposal

side of the street.

and a reforestation program for the trees lost.
that a lighting system for the area is being considered, cost of same to be

posed to assess these improvements over a 15 to 20 year period.
advised that he had received many letters and telephone calls from residents
in the Morningside area and generally they approved the projects, but had
expressed several concerns such as need for storm sewer, need for replacement
of existing curb and gutter and loss of front yard footage by widening Grimes
Avenue thus creating a possible traffic speeding hazard.
that the proposed storm sewer project was needed to adequately handle l/2 to
2 inch rainfalls in the problem areas and would provide street drainage and
prevent backup of water onto yards; that most of the existing curb and gutter
would have to be replaced due to the soil conditions which have caused settling;
and that street width itself has not been a factor in speeds of vehicles. He
explained that in order to qualify for state aid funds, certain requirements
must be met in regard to street width, parking and sidewalks, that approxi-
mately $700,000 could be received, thus minimizing the cost to be assessed to
property owners.

favor of the improvements and also receipt of a petition signed by residents on.

meet state aid requirements.
Mr. Richard Woehrle, 4234 Grimes Avenue,stated that they were opposed to any
widening of Grimes Avenue, and Mr. Yoehrle further objected to assessmekt for
the storm sewer project. Mr. Jim Lushine, 4166 Monterey Avenue,voiced approval
of the street improvement including constructing Grimes Avenue -to state aid
requirements, but stated he was opposed to putting in new curb and gutter where
there had previously been none axd that he also objected to the storm sewer
project.
ation of curb and gutter would provide unifofmity, give controlled drainage and
extend the life span of bituminous surfacing.
contract for the proposed improvements would probably be let for a two-year
period to one contractor to allow for weather conditions and ground settling of

informed Council that she, together with the other residents on Grimes Avenue
had signed the petition and were 100% opposed to any widening of the street in
order to obtain state aid funding.
Notvik, 4200 W. 42nd Street, Mr. Hoffman advised that the policy of the City
for street improvement assessment has been to base the assessment on the front
yard footage, plus 1/3 of the sideyard footage for corner lots.
4120 W. 44th Street, stated he opposed the storm sewer project if the-re was no
possibility of changing the boundaries for the assessment district inasmuch as
his property lay in two districts.
request for change of boundaries in the assessment district would have to be
heard at the assessment hearing.
Moderator of Calvin Christian Church, requested the Council to consider the
impact that removing parking from one side of Grimes Avenue vould have on the----- --
church. Mr. Stephen Clapp, 4413 Grimes Avenue, stated that he questioned the
benefit to his property and he opposed the street improveinent project.
to questions raised by Mrs. Edwia Diel, 4236 Crocker Avenue So., Mr. Hoffman
explained that it is proposed to construct sidewalk on one side of the narrower
streets and that the walk could.be built to wind around trees that were on the
right-oE-way. Mr. Peter Forsmark, 4312 Eton Place, asked if the City of Edina
would lose the state aid funds if Grimes Avenue were not constructed to those
requirements. Mr. Hoffman stated that the City would not lose any funds as It
receives state aid funds each year and they canbe used for any improvements or
traffic signals in the state aid street system.

ORDINANCE NO. 811-AI-14 GRANTED FIRST READING. Affidavits of Notice were.presented
by Acting Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Hughes
presented petition of proponent requesting rezoning to R-2 Multiple Residence
District for Crosstown Hills,. generally Zocated South of Vernon. Avenue, North of
the Crosstown Highway, and West of Krahl Hill, and advised that a five lot sub-
division had also been' proposed. He advised that the Coimunity Development and
Planning Commission had heard both the preliminary plat and rezoning request and
recommend zoning from R-1 to R-2 in that it does comply with the Western Edina
P1an;but that the preliminary plat was continued to explore other alignments of
the proposed road and lots. Staff concurs that rezoning to'R-2 is appropriate
for this site but that the proposed subdivision should be modified to locate the
new roadway between Lots 2 and 3, Block I, which would serve all the lots thereby
eliminating direct access off Vernon Avenue.
ordinance requires that property cannot be rezoned to a residential use without it
being platted as well, but that staff recommends First Reading on the zoning
request with the understanding that Second Reading would not be granted until the
final plat approval has been granted.
east of subject property, expressed concern regarding placement of the road ease- .
ment affecting access to his land in that it would make some of the lots undesirable.
He stated that it was his understanding the the Planning Commission had urged
Xr. Frank Cardarelle, the proponent, to contact him in order to discuss the road
easement as it affects his property, and that he had no objection to the R-2 zoning.
In response to Councilman Shaw's question, Mr. Hanson stated he is contemplating
developing his prapertg in the near future. With the undeptanding that Second
Reading would not be granted until the matter of the roadway easement had been
resolved and final plat has been approved, Councilman Richards offered Ordinance

approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Lot 2, Block 5, McCauley Heights 3rd Addition was platted in 1967, it was zoned
for R-2 Multiple Residence District but that in 1977 the subject lot was
rezoned to R-1 Single Family Dwelling District and the new owner is now re-
questing it be zoned R-2. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning in that:
1) it conforms to the Western Edina Plan, 2) the lots lying immediately north
and south of the subject lot are zoned R-2, and 3) the lot meets minimum size
requirements for R-2 zoning.
and Planning Commission has recommended approval with the condition that prior
to final reading the City and proponent enter into an agreement specifying
that 1) one unit should have access of McCauley Trail and 2) the second unit
should have access off.1ndiar.t Hills Road to conform with the single family
character of the area and to be similar to other double residences in the .
