of 110 feet, lot depth of 150 feet and lot area of 16,800 square feet.

Evelyn Daniels, 5705 McGuire Road, and Ralph Linvill, 7005 Antrim Road, asked that
the historical significance for this part of Edina be preserved. Speaking in
support of the proposed development were: Diane Ebert, 7004 Lee Valley Circle; Joe
Lyon, 7005 Lee Valley Circle; Darlene McDonald, 5501 Village Drive; Lyle Sauers,
5547 Village Drive; Neil McCouth, 7015 Lee Valley Circle; and George Kosmides,

The major concern expressed by those objecting was the
Ron Clark, proponent, spoke to several specific issues that had been raised.
Guest parking/townhouses - Each unit has a double garage in front of which are two
parking spaces.
Patrick's Church - The church was one of the objections in marketing the
Highpointe Condomiums as prospective buyers considered it an eyesore. Future
condominium building/Highpointe caretaker - The disclosure statement declared that
one or more future buildings may be added but that declarant was not obligated to
do that. Landscaping at Highlander Townhomes - All landscaping was put in, with
two trees added last summer in response to a resident's request. Density

Council Comments
Mayor Richards observed that the issues and concerns that have been raised are
controversial and that it may be helpful for the Council Members to state their
viewpoints on the issues concerning the proposed development.

8) Density is an important issue that has been properly addressed in the proposal
before the Council. The 1.5 units per acre for the single family portion relates
well to the 2.1 units per acre in the Lanham Lane area, the 1.8 units per acre in
the Lee Valley Circle area and the 2.0 units per acre north of 70th Street.

reasons he intended to support the proposal.
Member Rice - 1) Questioned adequacy of the physical development of the site to
control runoff. Engineer Hoffman said there are some final details to be worked
out but in general the plans are adequate. 2) Question as to access for emergency
vehicles. Engineer Hoffman said ambulances can access the site; for fires, hoses
would be laid from the fire vehicles on the street as is the case with all
townhouses.
Planner Larsen explained that in 1982 the overlay district zoning was approved in
connection with a proposal to rezone the property to allow for a 22-unit, two
story condominium building. The reason for the overlay district was that the old
church was to be incorporated for private use as an amenity for that project. 4)
Questioned site lines for traffic exiting from Highpointe condominiums. Engineer
Hoffman said the proposed development would not change the existing site lines.
5) Asked if access and siting for Lot 13 had been resolved. Planner Larsen said
the revised plan has added to the square footage for Lot 13 so that it now has a
northeast orientation for the house with access from 70th Street. 6) Questioned

concluded that he is generally in favor of the development as proposed.
Member Smith - 1) There will be substantially less traffic from the development
proposed. 2) Density is a buffer issue to the residents to the north and a
frustration issue to the residents to the south. Elements contributing to the
transition from single family to low density are the major collector street
classification and the topograph of the site.
