time, the developer has met with neighbors to try to come to a satisfactory
agreement about this R-2 development. Mr. David Kirscht, architect for the dev--
eloper, said that he had met with neighbors to discuss landscaping of the site
and showed a sketch of proposed landscaping. Mr. Kirscht agreed not to remc've
any trees which presently serve as a buffer between the single dwellings and

concerned about the proposed homes on the West side of the project but are

DECISION UPHELD. Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to

form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Hughes advised Council that 1 .. Waltdr '
Kretschmer has appealed the decisionSsof the Board of Appeals and A h justments
which denied his request for a 3% lot coverage variance for his property which-
is located at 5232 Maddox Lane (Lot 6, Block 8, James A. Roberts Estate).
explained that the variance was requested to permit 297 square feet of addi-
tional lot coverage, by adding a 12' x 28' addition to the garage for storage.
Mr. Hughes explained that this would give the property a coverage of 28%,
whdreby neighbors rarely had more than 20% lot coverage. He added that a let-
ter had been received from Mr. Kretschmer, reducing the size of the requested
addition and also showed Council a plan indicating the items that need to be
stored in the addition. Mr. Ching Johnson, representing Mr. Kretschmer, said
that the addition is necessary because Mr. Kretschmer is unable to move the
items to be stored because of his health and age. Mention was also made to a
petition signed by seven neighbors who indicated that they had no objection
to the addition. In response to a question of the Council, Mr. Johnson said
that Mr. Kretschmer is a consultant for his previous employer and that eight
foot high shrubs surround his property, so that neighbors cannot see the
addition. Mr. Douglas Thompson, 5316 Maddox Lane, said that Council should
adhere to -its regulations and that an "eighteen wheeler" pulling in to the
driveway once a month indicates a business on the premises.

funds in the total amount of $2,750.00 be given to South Hennepin, along with
providing a two year audit of their books as an in-kind service. Mr. Rosland
said that this recommendation had been approved by Mr. Dalen, as well as members

I AMENDMENT TO SOUTHEAST EDlNA REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
[ p Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan - Land Use Plan
The Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan - Land Use Plan designates that
portion of the plan area lying west of York Avenue and south of West 76th
Street as "Proposed Transitional Developmentti. The Land Use Plan is
hereby amended to change the designation of this area to "Mixed Use".
Mixed Use is defined as the joint and integrated development of residential
and non-residential land uses on a single tract of land. Within the South-
east Edina Redevelopment Plan area, Mixed Use developments would have
the following objectives :
To encourage the provision of residences affordable to low and
moderate income families and individuals. Special attention should
be given to home ownership opportunities for such families and individuals.
To encourage the mixing of residences affordable to low and moderate
income persons with market rate residences in order to promote maximum
social and economic interspersion.
To provide business and professional office uses in close proximity
to residential uses in order to encourage employment opportunities
for residents of the Mixed Use development and thereby reduce the

VERBATIM OF DISCIPLINARY HEARING .
December 21, 1981
Richards - Our recommendation is as follows: The members of the Review Panel,
having been charged with the responsibilities to review the entire official record
of the above referenced matter, including transcripts and exhibits and hzving
heard the arguments of Counsel of both the City and except as modified as this
Panel's recommendation contained in the subsequent paragraph, which is No. 5 in
our report. That paragraph No. 5 reads as follows: In making this report and
recommendation, the Panel recommends to the City Manager that in connection with
any subsequent promotional opportunities for which Mr. Holman may apply, and or
by which he may be eligible, the discipline imposed as the result of the City's
disciplinary proceedings should not be used against Mr. Holman in connection with his application and/or consideration for such promotional position. In-connec-
tion with any such promofional opportunities, Mr. Holman's qualifications should
be based upon his capability and employment record to perform the duties in the
best interest of the public for the position sought and/or under consideration.
That report is dated December 21, 1981, and signed by the Mayor and Council
Members Turner and Richards. And so we have a motion before the Council to con-
sider, I would move the adoption of that report and recommendation.

Singer - Thank you, Mr. Mayor. My remarks will be short. Let me first state that I guess1 view my appearance here and my rights to make
some comments as a matter of right - not as a matter of gratuity by the Council,
and I don't mean by that to offend you, but I think that this matter was set up
in a procedure by which three members of this Council would make a recornendation
and I would reserve the right to comment on.the recommendation only after I saw it
and this is my only opportunity to do so and so I think my right to comment on
the recommendation is a matter of right.

that procedure was inappropriate and I wanted the record to reflect it. I am not
going to re-state iny arguments stated in the past other than to say that by way
of an over-view summary so that the record indicates that I 'haven't waived any of
them - that I feel.that the procedure employed in the handling of this matter is. in violation of the policies and procedures of the City of Edina and I think the
recommendations of the review panel are not supported by the evidence primarily
because they are not in keeping with the past disciplinary actions of the City -
that no useful purpose is accomplished by the proposed discipline that the
employee considering the acts involved and the punishment to which he has already
been subjective - subjected more than adequately punished the employee and that
such punishment has a negative effect, rather than a positive effect on the
