Hoff- man said that he did not know whether Richfield would be installing sidewalks on the East side of Xerxes, He concurred with Ms. Luckow that the only really safe way to cross TJ. 66th Street would be to install a pedestrian overpass, even though there is a traffic signal on 66th Street and Xerxes Ave. ber Turner that the Council has previously discussed the problem but that no further action had been taken, inasmuch as pedestrians seldom use the overpasses.

LEO EVANS PRD-2 ZONING REQUEST CONTINUED TO JULY 6, 1981. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Hughes presented the peticion of Mr. Leo Evans for zoning change of property gen- erally located South of Vernon Ave. and East of Olinger Road from R-1 Residential District to PRD-2 Planned Residential District and advised that the staff and Com- munity Development and Planning Commission had recommended approval, subject to the following conditions and modifications: provide the required setback from the South property line; stalls should be provided on the site; and 3) Final zoning to be conditioned on an acceptable overall development plan and final platting. He explained that the subject property abuts developed single family lots on the South and Hawke's Lake on the East, with single dwellings across Vernon Ave. to the North and two-family dwellings across Olinger Eoad to the West. Mr. Hughes pointed out that the pro- perty was designated as low-density attached residential use in the Western Edina Plan and that the draft Comprehensive Plan also designates the property for low density attached residential use. Coiincil was advised that preliminary plans call for a 36 unit town house development for the property which would be served by a private road with two entrances on Vernon Ave. Mr. Hughes added that the overall. density of four imj.ts per acre approximates the density of single family densities in general, with most of the lots abutting to the South measuring approxi- mately 11,000 square feet in area (which equals about four units per acre) and that other multi-f amily developments in the vacinity have considerably higher densities Mr. Roger D. Clemence, representing the developer, suggested that, since there are five members on the council and only three members were present at this meeting, no vote should be taken at this time. Mr. Erickson opined that Council should hear evidence at this time but that the hearing could be continued to the next meeting and a vote taken at that time. 1981, for the record which proposed the following modification to the Community Development and Planning Commission's recommendations : 1) that the property be designated PRD-1, rather than PRD-2 which action would insure the neighbors that there would be densities in the 4 unit per acre range rather than the 6 unit per acre figure potentially allowable in a PRD-2 District; 2) that a median setback of 80 feet and a minimum distance of 70 feet from town homes to ehe South property line be established which would provide a median setback of 80 feet and a mini- mum distance of 70 feet from town homes to the South property line in that portion of the property running from the East line 05 the Wegner property to Hawkes Lake; 3) that a well-planted and be-med buffer zone of 30 to 40 foot depth would be planted along this section to the South property line in accordance with wishes of residents; and 4) that, where chere had been seven units shown in the first 275 feet of the property East of the Wegner property, the nunber of dwellings would be cut to six in order to reduce the general impact of housing along the South pro- perty line; and 5) that it be understood that the total count of 36 dwelling units not be changed. ting forth conditions agreed upon at a June 3rd meeting between residents and the proponent, the request that and concern that once the project is starred, it must be conipleted.

Mr. and Nrs. Dennis Wegner, 5705 Olinger Rood, urged that the project be denied since they would have seven families looking over their back yard. They suggested that the proposed buffer sl!ould be continued and that the 80 foot setback should be continued to Olinger lid. Mr. Wegner suggested that a single building condominium might be more acceptable. Mr. Clemence said that there has been confusion about the setback distance from the _rear property line along Pierold Drive and that only one corner of the property which would be reduced to 45 feet, and agreed that the length of the buffer would be no problem. He explained that-the town houses will sell for a minimum of $150,000 each, and said that reducing the plans to 25 units would be less than if the land was developed with singie family homes. Nr. Cle- mence added that all of the property along IIawkes Lake are not buildable lots. He emphasized also that there will be further modifications to the plan and that it is designed to retain existing vegetation and to recognize the old right-of-way of Highway 169. Nr.
