Mr. Frank Cardarelle, representing the proponent, presented designs and landscape plans prepared by the architect and by the landscape architect, and advised that there is a 10% grade proposed for the driveway. Mr. Hoffman ex- plained that grades of this type are not unusual in Edina, and said that an eight foot wall would be created on one side, with a four foot wall on the other side. €?e added that all 17 feet of the driveway must be used for a completed driveway of 12 feet.

Nr. Kemp recalled that the 17 foot easement was originally dedicated to loop the watermain on Tralee Drive. Fuhr, Blr.

Darrell Eoyd, 7204 Shannon Drive, expressed concern that the melting snow 2;;ould run into his pool and added that a 17 foot driveway is too narrow. Fk. Christopher Krueger, 7306 Clarcdon Drive, said that he feared for the safety of children who might fall off thc retain?-n;: wall. Nr.
