Idr.

Xr. IIughes recalled that identical divisions exist on Morningside Road at Alden Drive, Crocker Ave. and Lynn Ave. and that an identical division had been approved in 1972 for Lot 46, Morningside Addition. Mr. John Morine, 4246 Grimes Ave., the developer, presented a petition signed by residents in the area who stated that they have no objection to the plat. Councilman Courtney said that in looking at other similar lots, he found that the lot across the street from the subject property had a more substantial front yard variance than the variance which would be necessitated if the plat is approved. Mr. Thomas Roe, an attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Morine, recalled that a building permit for the-South side of the lot had been issued by the City in 1963, but that the lforines had decided not to build at that time.

Mr. Hughes recalled that preliminary plat-for St. Alban's Addition had been continued from the meeting of July 17, 1978 so that the possibility of moving the cul-de-sac to the Southerly side of the plat could be considered, and so that plans for retainhg walls could be reviewed by the staff. Mr. Frank Cardarelle, representing the developers, showed alternate plans which included a center island and which would move the exit about 60 feet to the South, and which would give approximately 60 feet more site Z-stance from the North. He explained that construction of the island wodd cut down the size of Lot 9 and that all other lots would-be reduced in size accordingly and advised an unidentified gentleman in the audience that this was the only way to get into the site. Mr. Rudy Trones, one of the developers, said that neither he or the ch&ch received natices of this hearing. Mr. Holly Irving, one of the developers said that they consider it dangerous to small children to build the road close to the church. Mr. Clinton Odell, 5517 Hillside Road, representing St. Alban's Church, said that if lots 8 and 9 are eliminated it wciuld reduce the value of the subdivision and the church would have difficulty in carrying out their expansion program. Mr. Trones said that he did not believe that the cul-de-sac as originally proposed was any more dangerous than the many driveways that backed out on to Gleason Road. a perpandicular entrance to the cul-de-sac would be best, Councilman Richards offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: .i Being advised by Mr: Hoffman that RESOLUTION GRANTING PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL FOR ST. ALBAN'S ADDITION EE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, that that certain plat entitled "St. Alban's Addition'; platted by St. Alban's Episcopal Church, and presented at the Edina City Council Meeting of August 7, 1978, is hereby granted preliminary plat approval.

Reference was made to a letter from Mr. Erickson requesting additional time to determtne whether the City can require, as a condition for approval of a replat, that a developer dedicate a new road to be used as an access road for adjacent property and whether the City can cut off Northern States Power Company's direct access to W. 70th Street and provide a more circuitous alternative route with- out compensating Northern States Power Co. Mr. Erickson's letter expressed the hope that the need for additional time would not impact adversely upon the pro- cessing of the proposed replat.
