Bob Holl told Council that they moved to 5020 Scriver Road on July 1, 1993. He
explained that he had petitioned for vacation of the easements in order to give
his family a larger rear yard area in which to garden and play. He pointed out
that previous to their purchase of the home, a potential sale fell through
because of the restrictive easements. Subsequently, they then purchased the
house at a lower price.

Public Comment
Dave Burkholder, 5024 Scriver Road, spoke to his letter dated October 21, 1993.
He said one of their main reasons for purchasing their home was the uniqueness
and privacy of the heavily-wooded setting. In speaking to the City Planner he
learned that once the easement is vacated it is permanent so that even though the
current property owner may not intend to initiate anything to alter the setting,
future owners could and might do so. Mr. Burkholder said they feel they must
protect the value of their property and would not want to see the unique setting
changed.
Mr. Holl responded that he had attempted to contact the neighbor at 5024 Scriver
Road on five separate occasions but never found anyone at home.

David Culbert, attorney representing Mr. Holl, submitted photographs illustrating
the restrictive limitations the easement has on the use of the Holl's rear yard.
Council Comment/Action
Engineer Hoffman answered Member Kelly that if the vacation is granted as
proposed, building could occur on the vacated portion.
Member Rice recalled a similar vacation request for property in the area.
Planner Larsen said there was a somewhat similar request for vacation of a
conservation easement on the south side of this same pond (6204 Fox Meadow Lane).
However, the conditions of the easements are different.
Council, the conservation easement is a "no touch" easement, i.e. the easement
area must be left in its natural state.
easement did not allow structures but the area could be maintained as yard.
request was made to permit placement of a play structure in the rear yard.
Permission was ultimately granted by the Council for placement of the play
structure with the permitted use limited to the present property owners.
Member Rice asked Mr. Hollhow he intended to use the rear yard if the request is
granted.

putting up a volley ball net, etc.

Hoffman informed Council that by letter dated September 25, 1993, the Indian
Hills Association, representing eight townhouses on McCauley Trail, had expressed
concern about the flood potential to their homes because of the elevation
fluctuations during heavy rainfall events of the pond adjacent to their rear
yards.
City Engineering staff had provided several options for consideration and
discussion by the members of the Association as follows:

properties. Since the existing system meets the City's current standards but the
association members desire an upgraded system, staff would suggest that the cost

Member Paulus asked if the pond is a natural pond or was created for drainage and
if homes built after 1987 were constructed at a higher elevation.
Hoffman responded that the developer created the pond by dredging and designing
it according to DNR watershed standards. The building elevation of the homes to
be constructed on the site was established based on those standards. Following
the 1987 rainstorm event, the same building elevation standards were applied for
new construction throughout the City. He reiterated that Edina's standards
provide a one foot "bounce" over the standard system.
Engineer
Arley Bjella, Chairman of the Indian Hills Pond Committee, and William Abraham,
committee member, stated that they did not feel an answer to the problem would be
determined at this meeting but they wanted to get the process started.
Bjella told Council that he moved into his unit in 1986 and following the 1987
storm the cost for flood damage to his home was over $25,000.00.

Mayor Richards recalled that Council had asked the Mayor to work with staff as to
a recommendation in recognition of and as a lasting tribute to Edina resident,
John Harris, winner of the 1993 Walker Cup and the U.S. Amateur Golf Tournament.
It was concluded that the road from Braemar Boulevard to the Braemar Clubhouse be
renamed "John Harris Drive", resulting in an address for the clubhouse of 6364
John Harris Drive. The clubhouse address is presently 6364 Dewey Hill Road.
