Mr. Rosland presented total estimated construction cost at $437,161.84, proposed
to be assessed agnirist 132'2.36 assessable feet abutting single family lots and
against 420.05 assessable feet abutting muli iple fanlily lots.
per assessable foot for single fnrnily propertics was given at $22.00, $33.00 for
multiple family residential properties and $60.53 against 229 assessable condo-
miniums. lfr. Rosland further explained that $393,108.27 is estimated to be paid
by State Aid Funds and that the City policy on the improvement of Nunicipal State .
Aid Streets is to assess benefited property fol; the cquivalent cost of a stanchqd
30 foot wide light duty residential street. He explained that all sidewalk costk
are proposed to be paid from Municipal State Aid funds. PIr. Hoffman explained
that the improvement is starting somewhat South of the St: Louis Park City Limits
because he was unsure how St. Louis Park may chose to improve their portion of
the street.
the sidewalk is being constructed on the West side of the street because the
houses are on that side and so that children could play on the sidewalk. He
advised two unidentified ladies in the audience that it is proposed to plant ever-
green and maple trees and will only remove existing trees where it is necessary.
Mr.-Douglas Davidson, 4840 Rutledge Ave., was assured that the City would plow the
sidewalks and that, since it will not be necessary to remove the curb and gutter
by his house, he will have no assessment.
grounds that it might encourage higher traffic speeds and thus be unsafe for young
children, Mr. and lks. Steven Reynolds, 4516 Brookside Ave., suggested extending
the improvement to the St. Louis Park City Limits so that a sharp curve would
slow down traffic. Mrs. Reynolds also suggested that a stop sign be installed
at the intersection of 44th Street and Brookside Ave. Mr. Hoffman told >Ir. Rey-
nolds that he did not believe there would be a change in the elevation of the
street. Mr. Thomas Hines, 4810 Brookside Ave., advised that the railroad is not
proposed to be assesser! for the improvement inasmuch as it does not use the street,
Eis. Mildred Miller, 5201 W. 48th Street, said that her driveway is low and
expressed concern that it might be flooded.
AxTe. was told by MI-. Hodfman that multiple residence properties are proposed
to be assessed 1% times higher than single family properties. Nrs. Eva Johnson,
4382 Brookside Ave., was told by Mr. Hoffman that the City has not attempted to"
acquire right-of-way thru the gas station property at the top of the hill. He ''
added that he had talked to St. Louis Park Engineers and that they do not pro- '-

CROSSROADS DEVELOPMENT ZOhTING REQUEST CONTPNUED TO APRIL 7, 1980. Mr. Hughes
reczlled that the request of Crossroads Development for a zoning change from R-1
Residential District to PRD-3 Planned Residential District for part of Sec. 8;
T. 116, R. 21 and Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, Findell Second Addition,
generally locate$ South of W. 70th St., West of Cahill Road and Southeast of
Cahill Elementary School had been continued from the Council Meeting of March 3,
1980, as requested by the developer. Mr. Henry Hyatt, Vice President of Cross-
roads Development, made reference to a letter which he had sent to the Council in
whlch he agreed to make the following modifications to his proposal in response
to concerns expressed by the Council at previous meetings: 1) An occupancy pre-
ference will be given to Edina residents and to people who work in the City; 2) :
Resident selection and screening will be carried out in compliance with the "Ma$:
agenent Plan" submitted to HUD; 3) The development will be economically mixed and
60% of the units will not be assisted and will be offered to families who will pay
full mzrket rent without rent assistance;
be provided at,the final hearing after plans and detailed construction costing has
. been completed, with garbage disposals provided if the City wishes; 5) One garage
per Enit will be provided if Council feels strongly about the matter; 7) After .
construction is initiated, the developers will petition the IvITC for additional *
service on the 355 bus route and if this is unsuccessful within four months
and after 95% occupaiicy is achieved, a transportation need study of resTdents
will be conducted. If the study indicates.transportation problems among residents,
Crossroads Development will find a solution to those problems. Nr. Hyatt further

stated that superior multi-family sites are not available in Edina, that the
Section 8 esisting program is not workable in the City, that direct public
hoiising construction by the IilU has bccn rcj ected , that 1:ctderaL prol:rnxs €01-
sales housing and scattered-site rental housing affordable to moderate income
families are economrcnlly infeasible without direct City subsidies that would
be excessive, and that the site in question is not suitable for elderly housing.
He. added that the City's decision on the proposed development will have a
driyect impact on future State and Federal Eunding of elderly housing in the City.
Krs. Kay Bach, past President of the Edina League of Women Voters, expressed the
League's endorsement of efforts to support low and moderate income housing in
:he City and urged the Council to "provide a diversity of choice to our residents".
Nr. Larry Youngblood, 7205 Lanhani Lane, reminded the Council of comments of opposi-
tion to.the proposal which were made at past meetings by neighbors.
to a question of the Mayor as to how Nr. Hyatt's suggested commitments could be
enforced, Mr. Erickson said that while it would be easy to enforce the quality of
the building, he was not sure how the City could monitor and enforce other commitments. He said that any approval which might be given in a prelim-
inary vain would have to be subject to working out detailed agreements, both as
to the write-down and how the agreements would be implemented. Mr. Robert David-
son, attorney for Crossroads Development, concurred with statements-of Mr. Erick-
son and added that these agreements could be worked out. Mr. Erickson referred
to the Findings, Decisions and Reasons for denial of the rezoning, asking if the
proponents have responded to the Reasons in a way in which the Council would find
satisfactory. He suggested that if the response has been satisfactory, the City
might want to revise the Reasons for Council's further review to see if condi-
tions of the Council have actually been met and that at that time First Reading
could be granted with a very clear understanding and agreement on the part of
Crossroads Development that a Second Reading would be given only when the pro-
posed agreements have been reduced to a binding written agreement. Mr. Erickson
emphasized that the Council must now 1) see whether Crossroads Development has
responded in a way the Council will deem satisfactory to the reasons the Council
now has.before it for denial and that any statements of Crossroads Development *
wodd respond to the concerns expressed by the Council as shown in the Reasons.
Councilman Bredesen said that he is concerned with the proposal inasmuch as.%
does not address what he considers the City's most urgent need which ris for hous-
ing fox the elderly.
door on other alternat5ves such as existing structurss or scattered sites and
emphasized that he did not think that there should be any variances as to parking
rfiquirements. .Concern was also expressed that the City still has not adopted its
land use plan. 'It was pointed out that paragraph 6 of Mr, Hyatt's letter is incon-
sistent with the first sentence-of paragraph 7 and should, therefore, be renoved.
As recommended by the Mayor, Councilman Courtney moved that the hearing be con-
tk:iued to April 7, 1980, so that Mr. Hyatt's letter can be studied by Mr. Hughes
and Mr. Erickson to see which Findings are answered by the letter in order that
3ew Findings, Decisions and Reasons may be written in response to the letter and
also so that the Council can learn the cost to the City in terms of the write-
down of the property. Mr. Courtney also moved that copies of Mr. Hyatt's letter
and of the Findings, Decisions and Reasons be circulated to neighbors and. ?io Mr.
I-Iyatt's attorney so that neighbors can be aware of their contents and so that Mr.
Eyatt's attorney can respond to how their agreements can be enforced. Notion was
seconded by Councilman Bredesen.

LOT 12, BLOCK 1, HOLANDS 1ST ADDITION LOT DIVISION CONTIWED.
that the petition for division of Lot 12, Block 1, Xolands 1st Addition had beea
continued from the Council Meeting of March 3, 1980, so that Mr. Hughes could
draft Findings, Decisions and Reasons for Council's review so that specific action
could be taken.at this meeting. Mr. Robert B. Klein, the proponent, introduced
hi.s attorney, Mr. J. E. Brill, Jr. , who reviewed the history of the property in
question and advised the Council that nothing had changed on the site since 1966
when the variance was originally approved.
would have a value of between $400,000 and $509,000 when the house is completed
and that if the lot division is denied it would just be a piece of landlocked
,property without any value.- My. Hoffman concurred with statements made by Mr.
Frank Cardarelle that drainage froxi the site should have no affect on adjacent
properties. In response LO a question from an unidentified gentleman in the
audience, Mr. Cardarelle said that snow would either be pushed to the top of
the hill or else pushed to the bottoin of the hill and hauled away. He edded
that it is proposed to constructed a heated driveway to help the snow melt nore

quickly. In response to objections of Firs. Darrell Boyd, 7204 Shariiion Drive, Mr:
Jerry Sweigbaum, 7304 Clnredon Drive, PIr . Richard Emmcrich, 7302 ClareJon Drive
and Efrs. Mary Kruegcr , 7306 Claredan l)rivc, that snow removal wnuld be vcry dif-
ficult and costly and that dangerous conditions would exist if the driveway
should be icy, Mr. Brill pointed out that snow rcnoval is ii private matter and
that there are many driveways in the area which are worse than the drive proposed
by Mr. Klein. Responding to Mrs. Emmerich's complaint that neighbors have of- ,.(
fered to buy the property from the Kleins, Mr. Brill said that the offer vas for
only $25,000 and that they have a buyer who will pay $95,000 for the lot.
man Courtney disagreed with the statement of Councilman Richards who said that the
City does not allow "neck lots", stating that there are already lots of this type
and that a person who owns a lot has a right to build on his property. Council's
attention was called to a letter from Nr. Klein which contained a petition signed
by seven neighboring property owners which stated that they have no objection to
the Kleins "using their property for a single, one family dwelling that will
comply with all requirements of the City of Edina". lir. Klein's letter also
pointed out that he had contacted all abutting property owners and listed loca-
tions of their property along with their reasons for their particular positions.
Foll.owing discussion, Councilman Courtney's motion was seconded by Councilman
Bredesen, continuing the hearing until April 7, 1980, so that neighbors could dis-
cus further the purchase of the property and so Nr. Boyd could attend the meeting.

Charles T. McGarraugh, 3917 W. 60th St., for division of Lot 3, The Pines, so that
he could purchase a portion of the.rear yard for gardening purposes.
reported that the Community Development and Planning Commission had recommended
denial of the request in that alternatives to the lot division were possible which
did not result in a parcel which may be considered buildable in the future. As
suggested by Councilman Richards, Blr. and Mrs. IIcGarraugh agreed to give a con-
servation easement in favor of the City which would stipulate that only a gardeb
shed could be built on the site. Councilman Courtney then offered the following

NO FAULT GRIEVANCE PROCESS DISCUSSED. Mrs. Leslie Turner and Mr. Tom Oye oi the
Edina Human Relations Commission were present to reconuncnd that the Council
approve the use of the No Fault Grievance Procedure by the Edina Human Relations
Commission. Mrs. Turner recalled that the Piinnesota Department of Iiuinan Rights
has established a No Fault Grievance Process which provides the means by which
local commissions can integrate the State policy on antidiscrimination into their
delivery of services. In reviewing the process, Nrs. Turner said that the Com-
mission hopes to form a five member No Fault Subcommittee to be trained by the
State Department of Human Rights and to handle the process. Mr. Bernliardson
said that Mr. Gedelnan is investigating to see if the Subcommittee would be cov-
ered under the City's insurance. Mr. Erickson voiced his concerns about the
potential of legal action being taken against the City or the Sub-committee, and
said that he would request an opinion from the Attorney General as to whether
the Council has the legal authority to indemnify volunteers for the City. He
recommended that any City forms cite that the information gathered cannot be
guaranteed to b,e kept confidential. It was informally decided to take the steps
recommended by the City Attorney and that the matter would again be considered
on April 7, 1980, after the matter of indemnification is determed. It was also
informally determined that approval should contain a sunset clause with the pro-
cess being approved for the two year term of the insurance policy.

Councilman Bredesen as to why the parkland dedication fee was to be paid over a
