HOUSING FOR EMPTY-NESTERS IN ST. PAUL NOTED. Member Schmidt recalled that at the
special.Counci1 Meeting on March 26, 1984, the Council had discussed ways of funding
housing for persons wishing to leave the homes their families have outgrown. She
noted that the City of St. Paul is providing special provisions for their residents
who are in this category, both as to buying and selling, and that those mechanisms
should be studied. No action was taken.
NEEDS AND PROBLEMS OF THE ELDERLY TO BE STUDIED BY CHURCHES IN EDINA. Member Schmidt
advised that the Ebenizer Society has requested several churches in-E;dina to form a
committee to look into the needs and problems of the elderly in the City, and that
she is a member of the committee. She stated that she had given the committee much
of the information which had been complied for the Comprehensive Study recently done
by the South Hennepin Human Services Council. There is an interest in either doing
something for the elderly with the existing housing in Edina or in constructing
housing for them.
Member Schmidt suggested that perhaps a decision on the Edinborough project should
be delayed in order to see what the committee would recommend. Mr. Rosland stated
that Member Turner had requested that the subject of elderly housing be placed on
the next off-Monday agenda and that Council would be discussing.the issue at.that
time. No action was taken.

and that a median is proposed for the intersection at W. 66th Street and Xerxes

in place. Mr. Hoffman advised that he has contacted the owners of properties
in Edina who would be affected and has shown them the preliminary plans. The.
City of Richfield has held a public hearing on the project and the Edina City
Council would be asked to approve the plans later this year, with the project pro-
posed to be constructed in 1985. Staff would recommend support of the project

ments on W. 66th Street from York Avenue to France Avenue, and on County Road
