b:i.lroac! tracks had bccn contfnucd from August 20, 1979, so that the staff could
prepare f5nSings for Council's review. Mr. Berg took issue with the Council Min-
utes of July 16: 1979, which stated that Mr. Berg withdrew his request for two
four unit buildings and said that he would submit lower density plans for the
site .o the Cornunity Developnent and Planning Commission". that his ixtilat had been only to gain rime to have the other prints prepared. In
response to Mr. Bei-g's objecrion chat residents objecting to his proposal did not
live within SO0 feet of the sd~ject property, the Mayor explairred that, while the
City is required to send notices to all property owners xithin 500 feet, there are no restricttons as to who speaks before the Council.

of site plans for two triplexes, .stating that t~o. triplexes would create ,less
traffic tharr six single. family dwellings ar'd that the City would have contyol
over the landscaping plans for the triplsxes. Mr. Berg advised that the buiid-
ing now proposed for Lot 1 covers only 8% of the lot and added :hat it wauld be
better to have two quality triplexes than six :'more cheaply built homes".
advised the Mayor that he was vithdxawing his request for two fourplexes in,
favor of two triplexes and reminded the Council that the Community Development
and Planning, Commission had previously recommended approval of the two 'four-
plexes.
Councilman Richards concurred with the Hayor's remarks and said that he still
thinks that the two triplexes would be too much density for the site.
said that a triplex would be permitted under PRD-2 zoning and also advised that
there is sufficient square footage for six single family homes, but,that he was
not sure if six homes would fit on the site without variances being granted. - ObjectiGg to the proposal of the two triplexes and advising that they would not
approve of anything but single family homes were Mr. and Mrs. R. E. O'Shaughnessy,
6308 Valley View Road, Mrs. John Mayer, Jr;, 6236 Grescent Dr., Messrs. Scott
Garoutte, 6217 Crescent Drive, Robert Pollman, 6205 Hansen Rd., Edwin J. Neuger,
6124 Hansen Road, James Voss, 6300 Valley View Road, and an unidentified gentle-
man. Findings prepared by the Planning Department were generally reviewed,
which findings recommended denial of the PRD-2 zoning for the rollowing'reasons:
1. .The proposed rezoning does not conform to the Western Edina Land Use Pla
as amended;.
2. . The proposed rezoning would result in a style and density of development not.
in character with existing land'uses in the iicinity of the subject property;
3., The Western Edina Land Use Plan designated certain areas including the subject
i- property for low density attached residential development.
that such housing should have the same density as sin&,family detached
residential development.
substantially greater than the density of exisitng single funily detached
housiilg in the vicinity of the subject, property.
rezoning does not coinply with the intent of the Plan regarding the de9sity of
such attached housing.
4 4.- Approval of the proposed rezoning wouid establish a precedent lkading to a
similar rezoning for land lying Westerly of the subject propkty.
l4r. Qughes revieiqed criteria_ applied to determining density adjustment factors.
Foliowjng iengthy discussion, Councilman Go artney 's motion was secmded by
Co-mcilman Richards, continuing the hearing until Septernber 17, 1979, to @ve Mr,
Hughes and the neighbors an .opportunity to review, the newly proposed plans.
