COMMENTS 014 CATAGORIES:
#1 ELM
Edina-had °33 cases of Dutch Elm Disease on private properties and 388 cases on
public lands. All these calls were included in the Elm catagory, along with the
other Elm calls. In some cases the trees were 01: and not diseased. The great
majority of our resident calls fell in the Elm catagory because of Dutch Elm Disease.
Predictions.for the number of calls in 1?75 would be difficult, as this depends on
the number of cases of Dutch Elm Disease next year. Much of our future depends on
.how good a job our neighboring communities do with their sanitation programs. At
this time, I feel we are doing a good job and our tree crews are able to handle all
the public losses. The private cases of Dutch Elm Disease were subsidized for re-
moval by the City and the State. Because of this, we had good cooperation with the
public for rapid removal and disposal of diseased trees. /Adequate tree firms for
this job may be a problem in 17J, as it at tines was a aroLlen in 171. It's likely
that more firms will come into existence.
C �
page two .2 -1 -1973
1'2 - OAKS
The City of Edina had 178 cases of Oak Wilt disease on private proper -ties
and 42 cases of Oak Wilt Disease on public properties in 1 9177. The majority of
these cases were in the Red Oak family of Oaks. Gecause our Oak population is
split up between Cur Oaks, White Oaks, and Red Oaks, I don't foresee any large
increase in this disease. Bur and White Oaks are more resistant to .Oak Ililt
Disease. Even though the City has .a fairly'large. population of Oak trees, with
fast detection and proper controls this disease can be controlled within reason.
-3
REMOVALS
The removal calls dea It with wood -pile checks, dead transplants, any request
to remove trees and public removal. A good example would be a resident asking -to
remove a boulevard tree because of root problems. I also put in this catagory
the calls requesting free pick -up of Elmwood for disposal. This totaled about 110
calls, mostly in June and July. Next year we will keep track of the number of calls
concerning free pick -up of Elmwood in a separate catagory. The stump removal and
associated problems were also included in this catagory. The number of calls in
this catagory will fluctuate somewhat depending on the climatic conditions and the
amount of tree diseases -found in the City.:
TRIMMING
We don't get many calls in this catagory and this year was about normal. In-
formation on how to trim, bolt and cable, and shape trees was given on these calls.
In addition, any complaints on the public trimming would be answered here.
#5 INSECTS
The largest problem with insects in 1977, was the spring cankerworm, also
called the inchworm. This insect denuded most of our boulevard trees last spring,
especially the Elms. The trees are not greatly damaged but the insect truly is
a nuisance. A spray program for canker►,orr.is is many times difficult because of
Page three 2 -1 -1976
►5 (Continued)'
the weather, but may be considered for next spring. To a lessor degree, leaf
miners, galls, scale, and aphids were a problem and information- regarding these
Insects was given while answering the calls. Most of these insects don't harm
the trees to the point of killing them, so therefore are minor problems.
#6 - DISEASE
All tree diseases ohter than Dutch Elm Disease and Oak hilt Disease were
answered in this catagory. Some of these diseases included:
Flowering Ash Gall, of Ash trees; Fire Blight, of Mountain Ash and Fruit
trees; Cytospera Cankor, of Spruce; Verticillium Wilt, of Maples; lletwood
Bacteria and various other type fungi that caused tree problems. Some of these
diseases are killers and some are not. These calls usually are dependent on
the weather and are most times isolated cases. Mostly these diseases are a
problem on a tree -to -tree basis, but not for a whole population. Regardless,
these diseases do need controlling.
47 - MISCELLANEOUS
This catagory.is a catch -all for calls not answered anywhere else. They range
from people just wanting to :talk to a forester, to checking corners for restriction
of site. This year, many of these calls dealt with information about the treat-
ment:of Elms for prevention of Dutch Elm Disease and pros and cons of injection
treatments were explained.. The use of Lignasan and Arbotect chemicals for control
of Dutch Elm Disease doesn't have enough research done in this state for a clear
cut answer as to if it is effective or not.. The Country Club area, which enjoys
a.large Elm population and density, undertook an injection treatment program, at
the residents' expense. Although no records indicating the number of treatments
done exists, it is my opinion that the program was a qualified success. Hopefully
more information will be available from the University of hinnvsota and the.HinnesoLa
State Agriculture Departnunt for next sum.,iers' program. In addition, :.ccause We
Page four 2 -1 -1;73
7 (Continued)
don't get too many calls dealing with evergreens, these calls were put in this
catagory.
C0 P ;FS El' 0i T S
--- 4'e 1-i�nd 1,676 resident calls in 1-'377, which was an increase of approximately
900 calls over 1976. 1 expect the calls in t 1978 will number about 2,000.
-- Most of the foresters time was spent answering these calls, although other
City business is also done by the foresters.
think that the residents "call- forester" answer system works very well
as most calls are answered writhin a day or two. Eecause we have a most efficient
administrator, Mr. Ralph Campbell, III, the system moves smoothly from start
to finish (note route of residential calls). This program takes much of his
time and he is a vital link necessary for the foresters to get the job done.
-- State reports and record keeping has been improved in 1.977 and should be
even more improved in 1978.

FINAL PLAN APPROVAL
Roger Findell
REQUEST NUMBER: I Z -77 -8
LOCATION: W. of Cahill, north and
south of Amundson Ave. Extended
REQUEST: -Final Plan Apprnva1
vi lb Odin®
STAFF REPORT
February 1, 1978
Z -77 -8 Roger.Findell. R-1-and R -3 to PRD -3. Final plan approval.
Refer to: Attached overall development plans; Findell's
2nd Addition.
Several months ago, the Planning Commission and City Council granted preliminary
zoning approval to PRD -3 for the subject property. At that time, a 40 unit
apartment building located on the southerly portion of the site and 38 town-
house units located on the northerly portion of the site were approved. The
proponent has now returned with final development plans which are in
accordance with the preliminary approval., It should be noted that the subject
property has already received final subdivision approval.
Recommendation:
The plans as submitted comply with ordinance requirements for final plan approval
with the exception of floor plans for the townhouse units. The proponent has
agreed to submit such plans prior to. the Planning Commission meeting.
It should be noted that the northerly portion of the subject property has
been identified as an outlot in the approved plat entitled Findell's 2nd
Addition. This area was identified as an outlot in that it was thoug1t that
this area could be developed in conjunction with lands to the east.
Therefore, staff recommends final development plan approval only for that
portion of the development located on Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 1, Block 2
of Findell's 2nd Addition. Final zoning approval for that portion of the
development located on Outlot A should be continued until this outlot is
platted. The compatibility of this portion of development with lands to the
east- should be considered at that time.
Staff recommends final plan approval for Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2,
provided that the following modifications to the final. plans are made:
1) a storm sewer plan must be included.
2) the amount of landscaping must be increased,
particularly in the vicinity of the parking
lots. Also, disturbed areas must be revegetated
with ground cover.
3) the-parking areas in the townhouse portion of
the site must be realigned.
4) lastly, an executed developer's agreement will
be required prior to.final approval by the
Council

III. OLD BUSINESS
Z -77 -8 Roger Findell. R -1 and R -3 to PRD -3. Generally located west of
Cahill, north and south of Amundson Avenue extended. Final
plan approval.
Mr. Hughes reported that the subject property is located west of
Cahill and north and south of Amundson Avenue. Some time ago, the property did
receive final plat approval on two lots and two outlots. Outlot B was dedicated
to the City. The proposal did receive preliminary zoning approval to PRD -3 for
78 units; 40 of which would be located in an apartment building south of Amundson
Avenue and the remaining 38 units are to be townhouse units located on Lot 1,
Block 1 and on Outlot A. The proponent has now returned with final overall
development plans. It is in accordance with the preliminary approval granted
several months ago. The staff report recommends final approval only for that portion
on Lot 1, Block 1, Lot 1, Block 2, Findell's 2nd Addition and exclude Outlot A
because development of it will depend on development to the east. Mr. Hughes
reported that the City Attorney, however, advised granting final approval of the
entire parcel as the outlot would have to be platted into a lot and block at a
later date. When such a platting is requested, we would take into account the
compatibility of that parcel with the parcels lying to the east and the adequacy
of access to that parcel. We would recommend final overall development plan
approval with the following modifications to the final plan:
1. a storm sewer plan must be included
2. the amount of landscaping must be increased, particularly
in the vicinity of the parking lots. Also disturbed
areas must be revegetated with ground cover.
Planning Commission.Minutes

Z -77 -8 Roger Findell (Con't.)
3. the parking areas in the townhouse portion of the
site must.be realigned.
4. Lastly, an executed developer's agreement will be
required prior to final approval by the Council.
Mr. Gordon Johnson stated that this plan is part of the Amundson Avenue
problem and where do we stand on that?
Mr. Hughes reported that on January 4, 1978, the Lanvesco proposal had
been considered and the Planning Commission referred it to the Council, which
set a hearing date of March 6 to consider the Lanvesco proposal and Amundson
Avenue. We would expect that Amundson will play a big part-in this development.
Mr. Cooperman, architect for the project, stated that the plan would not be
changed much if the road were to go in or not.
In response to a question from Mr. Runyan, Mr. Findell stated that he hoped
to begin construction of the apartment building in the Spring.
Mr. Hughes also reported that there is a density reduction involved with
this project. Preliminary rezoning was.approved several months ago after the
density reduction plan was adopted by the Council. According to the density reduction
plan, 56 units were allowable on this site, However, 78 units were requested and
78 were approved by the Commission and Council.
After some additional discussion, Mr. Runyan moved that the Commission approve
the final plan subject to the staff recommendations. Mr. Seaberg seconded the
motion. All Voted Aye. Motion Carried.
Z -77 -9 Colonial Church of Edina. Generally located south of Olinger
Blvd. and west of Tracy Avenue. Plan Amendment.
Mr. Hughes reported that the Planning Commission and City Council, several
months ago, granted a final zoning approval to PRD -1 to facilitate the construction
of the Colonial Church on Olinger Blvd. The Church is now under construction.
The Colonial Church is now requesting an amendment to their final development
plan to allow the construction of a berm on the southeasterly portion of the site.
The berm would serve the dual purpose of providing screening from the Crosstown
Highway as well as a disposal site for excess fill located on the property.
The staff recommends approval of the plan change subject to the following
conditions:
1. Adequate temporary erosion control measures must be implemented
including the construction of a hay bale dike to prevent sediments
from entering the pond on the site.
2. The'berm must be adequately vegetated with ground cover in the same
manner as the berm located on the north end of the site.
boyhood should be aware that, it not bull[ on, [nis Lug w uiu --�• -.
to R -2. Mrs. Mary Blumer advised that they were planning on building a single.
family residence and on contacting neighbors, they had voiced approval. No
• objections being heard, Councilman Shaw offered Ordinance No. 811 -A95 for
-� First Reading as follows:
ORDINANCE NO. 811 -A95
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE (NO. 811)
BY RFMOVING FROM THE MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
Section 1. Paragraph 1 of Section 4 of Ordinance No. 811 of the City is
hereby amended by adding the following thereto:
"The extent of the Multiple Residence District is reduced by removing
the following property:.
Lot 2, Block 5, McCauley Heights 3rd Addition, which is in Sub - District R -1 ".
Sec. 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its passage
and publication. '
fg ORDINANCE NO. 811 -A96 GRANTED FIRST READING. Affidavits of Notice were presented
by Acting Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Mr. Luce re-
called that several months ago, the Planning Commission and the Council had
ct: approved subdivision of this site and that park land had been dedicated. The
developer now is proposing rezoning from R -1 and R -3 to PRD -3 and requesting
approval for 40 apartment units on the south side (south of proposed Amundson
Road) and 38 townhouses on the north side. The site is characterized by moderate
to steep slopes with large oak and elm trees. The townhouses proposed have been
oriented to cause minimum disturbance to the steep slopes. The trees will be
retained following construction with the exception of those removed' for placement
of buildings and roadways. Mr. Luce reported that the staff, the Planning Com-
mission and the Environment Quality Commission recommended approval of'the
proposed rezoning with the following conditions:
1) That an easement is submitted to the City for travel across that private.
easement portion of the access to the northern townhouse site.
2)' That adequate final development plans be submitted.
3) That hay bale dikes be used for erosion and sedimentation control.
In response to Councilman Richards's question regarding density, Mr. Luce ex-
plained that the Southwest Edina Plan allowed 12 units per acre, which was
subsequently modified to 7 units per acre, but because of the topography the
developer was requesting a little over 8 units per acre and the staff recommends
approval as the site was well planned with critical surfaces preserved. There
being no one to be heard, Councilwoman Schmidt moved to offer Ordinance No. 811 -A96
for First Reading as follows, subject to the conditions outlined by the staff
report:

STAFF REPQRT
January 4, 1978
Z-78 -1 Madsen Property (Cahill Road Condominiums)
R -1 Single Family Residence to PRD-3 Planned Residential District
Refer to: Attached graphics and Council minutes
The subject property is an 11.7° acre parcel located north of
William Wardwell Lewis Park and south of Braemar Oaks Apartments. The
proponents are requesting a rezoning to PRD-3 to facilitate the construc-
tion of two 60-unit condominium buildings. Each building is proposed
to be three stories in height.
The subject property presently does not have frontage on any public
street. However, according to the Southwest Edina Plan (see attached
graphic), Amundson Avenue is proposed to traverse the western portion
of the property. The City has retained right -of -way across the
property for this roadway. Pending the construction of Amundson Avenue
(which may or may not occur), access to the subject property is provided
to Cahill Road by way of a 60 -foot wide temporary roadway easement.
The Southwest Edina Plan also indicates that the section of the subject
property lying west of Amundson Avenue should be dedicated for park
purposes. This dedication would complete a "buffer strip" extending
from Cahill School to Dewey Hill Road.
Approximately two years ago, the City Council adopted a density reduction
formula for multi- family dwellings in the "plan" areas of the city.
According to the Southwest Edina Plan, the subject property is allowed a
maximum of 12 units per acre. However, using the density reduction for-
mula, staff has preliminarily determined that the subject property is
allowed slightly over 6 units per acre, or about 60 units total.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of the preliminary development plans in
that:

Z -78 -1 Madsen Property. R -1 Single Family District to Planned
'� I cl Residential District PRD -3. Generally located north of Dewey
b Hill Road and north of W..W. Lewis Park, and west of Cahill Rd.
Mr. G. Hughes reported that the proponents are requesting PRD -3 zoning on a
landlocked parcel of land 11.78 acres.in size located north of Lewis Park and
south of Braemar Oaks Apartments to facilitate the construction of two 60 unit
condominium buildings each three stories in height.
The subject property does not have frontage on any public street. According
to the Southwest Edina Plan, Amundson Avenue is proposed to traverse the western
portion of the property. The City has retained right -of -way across the property
for this roadway. Access to the subject property is provided to Cahill Road by way
of a 60 foot wide temporary roadway easement. The Southwest.Edina Plan also
indicates that the section of the subject property lying west of Amundson Avenue
should be dedicated for park purposes. It would complete a buffer strip extending
from Cahill School to Dewey Hill Road.
Mr. Hughes reported that according to the density reduction plan adopted
by the Council on August 4, 1975, the subject property is allowed about 60 units
total.
Commission Minutes
Page 3
January 4, 1978
Staff recommended denial of the request because:
1) The proposal does not conform to the Southwest Edina Plan in
regard to Amundson Avenue and parklands.lying west of
Amundson Avenue.
2) The proposal does not conform to the report of the Open Space
Committee.
3) The proposal does not conform to the density reduction plan dated
August 4, 1977.
4) The proposal indicates development on roadway easements for Amundson
Avenue presently held by.the City of Edina.
Mr. Hughes noted that if the devlopment were approved, it would preclude
Amundson Avenue from going through. .
Mr. Stan Taube, Lanvesco Corp., Ron Erickson, architect for the project
and Bill Schatzein appeared before the Commission. Mr. Taube stated that he was
aware of the problems with Amundson Avenue and he felt that the area could be
developed better without the extension of Amundson Road. He noted that this
development will appeal to the mature couple whose family has gone.
Mr. Ron Erickson, architect for the project, explained how the buildings
would be built on the property and stated that the exterior of the building would
be multi faceted. He also noted that Cahill Road would be the major entrance into
the project. The parking will be broken into several segments so that there
will not be a big expanse of pavement. There will be underground parking in
each of the buildings. He also noted that there will be no variances needed for
the construction of this project.
Mr. Runyan wondered how the Commission could approve a plan that is
proposed where a road is anticipated. It seems that this is something that should
be determined and worked out with the Engineering Department.
Mr. Johnson noted that the proposal will cut the parkland area in two.
Chairman Lewis stated that he felt that the Commission could not make a
determination on the proposal until a decision is made regarding Amundson'Road.
After considerable discussion, Mr. Kremer suggested that the Commission
table the proposal and set a hearing date to review the Southwest Edina Plan
with respect to Amundson Avenue going through or not and the Council should hold
that hearing. When that matter is settled, then we can take the matter up again.
He also noted that the density questions should not be relaxed..
Mr. Clarence Lahecka, 5812 Dewey Hill Road stated that the points made
by the staff should be considered and the matter returned to the City Council
for action on Amundson Avenue.
Mr. Hughes read the Council Minutes of September 12, 1977, regarding
Amundson Avenue, which read in part that the Southwest Edina Plan should not be
amended and should retain the proposed roadway system, but that this system may
or may not be built depending on future circumstances.
Commission Minutes

January 4, 1978
Mr. Larry Youngblood, 7205 Lanham Lane, stated that most of the residents
of the area became aware of the project in the last week. He stated that he is
in agreement with sending the matter to the Council to have the Amundson Avenue
matter settled.
Mr. Jim Caldwell, representing Mr. Madsen stated that Mr. Madsen gave
approximately 10 acres of his property for the Lewis Park and asked the City to
provide him with a temporary easement for roadway so that he would be'able to
get into his property. The City has asked Mr. Madsen to donate additional
property on the west side of proposed Amundson Avenue for park purposes. He
stated that he has advised Mr. Madsen against this unless the City is willing to
give some compensation for the property. Mr..Madsen is desirous of divesting
himself of his properties, but wishes to do it in the most economical manner.
After additional discussion, Mr. Kremer moved that the Commission forward
this matter to the Council with the comment that we feel that they should make
a decision in fairness to the land owner on Amundson Avenue and we cannot make a
decision on the zoning until the decision on Amundson Avenue is made. Mr.. Johnson
seconded the motion. All Voted Aye. Motion Carried.

1978 CITY BUDGET PRESENTED. Mr. Hyde presented the 1978 Budget, reflecting a mil
rate increase from 8.4 to 10:0. He advised that this mil rate is low in compari-
son with other municipalities and listed the causes for the increase as a continued
growth in population, additional miles of streets and sidewalks to be maintained,
new public facilities requiring servicing and ever increasing costs for services
and supplies. Councilman Richards' motion setting a special budget meeting for
September 15, 1977, at 8:00 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Room was seconded by
Councilman Shaw.
Ayes: Courtney, Richards, Schmidt, Shaw
Nays: None
Motion carried.
IMPROVEMENTS NOS P -C -124, P -BA -226, P -BA -227 ABANDONED; LAID ACQUISITION ONLY
AUTHORIZED FOR P -C -126. Mr. Hyde recalled that public hearings -on the following
improvements had been continued from August 1, 1977, so that. the City Attorney
could determine if Grading and Graveling Improvement No. P -C -126, can be reduced to
land acquisition for possible future road right -of -way and whether the cost of the .
land acquisition can then be included in a future improvement project for the con-
struction of the road. Public hearings were then conducted on the following
improvements and action taken as hereinafter recorded.
A. GRADING AND GRAVELING I11FROVaIENT NO. P -C -124 IN THE FOLLOWING:
Amundson Avenue from Cahill Road to Dewey Hill Road
B. STREET IMPROVEMENT NO. P -BA -226 IN THE FOLLOWING:
Amundson Avenue from Cahill Road to Dewey Hill Road
C. GRADING AND GRAVELING IMPROVEMENT NO. P -C -126 IN THE FOLLOWING:
Delaney Blvd. from Dewey Hill Road to W. 78th Street -
D. PCRMANENT STREET SURFACING AND.CONCRETF. CURB AND CUTTER.IMPROVEMENT P -BA -227
City Attorney Erickson advised that the City has statutory authority to acquire
such land as is reasonably needed, or may be reasonably needed for future road.
right -of -way for Improvement P -C -126 and that the cost of the.land acquisition
may be assessed as a part of the cost of the later road improvement. If the road
is actually constructed at a future date, a further public hearing will be required
for the later road improvement. Mr. Erickson clarified that, should the City _
acquire the land and decide subsequently that the.road is not to be built, the
property may be disposed of if no longer needed for any public purpose.
r-
251
Mr. Erickson also opined that "should the Council authorize the land acquisition
portion of the project, and thereafter, in the process of acquiring the property
_._...
by eminent domain, should that method become necessary, should the Council decide
to abandon the project, it mny do so, unilaterally, provided it does so prior to
the expiration of the time for appeal from the award of the commissioners, and
provided it has not theretofore taken possession of the property, and provided
further that the City itself has not filed an appeal from any commissioners'
award. Should it dismiss subsequent to the initiation of the condemnation pro-
ceedings, the City will, in any event, be liable for reasonable costs and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by the landowner." Council's .
attention was also called to a memorandum from Mr. Gordon Hughes which concluded
i
that 1) The concepts and design for Amundson /Delaney Road as contained in the
Southwest Edina Plan and the County Road 18 /Valley View Road Report continue to
be valid; 2) Projected traffic volumes for Gleason Road without improvements to
the roadway system will be excessive and unacceptable; 3) Construction of the
_
proposed Amundson /Delaney system will alleviate anticipated excessive traffic
volumes on Gleason Road; 4) Major residential development West of Cahill Road
apparently will precede full development of the industrial area; trraffic circu-
lation patterns for such residential development will rely, to a great extent on
Amundson /Delaney Road; 5) The Cahill Road cul -de -sac is an essential element of-the
proposed roadway system; however, construction of the cul -de -sac may not be
.
essential for several years. Mr. Hughes recommended that 1) The Southwest Edina
Q
Plan should not be amended and should retain the proposed roadway system; 2)
Amundson /Delaney Road should be constructed as development pressures warrant and
U
should be constructed in conjunction with residential development West of Cahill
Road; 3) The Cahill Road cul -de -sac should remain as part of the roadway system,
Q
but need not be implemented until warranted. Mr. Dunn said that he concurred with
Q
Mr. Hughes recommendations but clarified that the improvements could not be con-
structed until construction of T.H. 100 is complete. He expressed concern that
people inquiring about the area be told that the proposed road is a "plan" only
and that the road may actually never be built. Mr. Hyde suggested that Improve-
ments Nos. P -C -124, P -BA -226 and P -BA -227 be abandoned at this time and that
only the land acquisition be authorized for Improvement No. C -126 at this time.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burns of Dewey Hill Road both spoke in support of the South -
west Edina Plan and the road patterns proposed, contending that residents had pur-
chased property in reliance on the Plan. Mrs. Burns recalled that the Plan had
been stressed in the court case brought against the City for its denial for R -5
zoning proposed for the corner of- Cahill Road and Dewey Hill Road.. She suggested
tha: residents on Lanham Lane and Fleetwood Drive opposed the construction of
the proposed road only because it would spoil their view. An unidentified gentle-
man who lives on Dewey Hill Road said-that Council should not only consider future
property owners, but should also consider present property owners who bought their
property in reliance on the Plan. Councilman Richards denied that he had ever
advocated changing the Southwest Edina Plan., He spoke of his feeling that it is
important to put people on notice that the road may never be built inasmuch as
conditions are different now than in 1971 when the Plan was adopted. He said that
he could not justify spending money on building a road which may only alleviate
a small percentage of thru traffic. Councilman Shaw then moved that Improvements
Nos. P -C -124, P -BA -226 and P -BA -227 be abandoned at this time. The motion was
seconded by Councilwoman Schmidt.
Ayes: Courtney, Richards, Schmidt, Shaw
Nays: None

Councilman Richards then moved that there be no amendment to the Southwest Edina
Plan at this time, but that the staff be instructed to advise all interested

Re: Lanvesco Co. Development Proposal for Madsen Property in
Southwest Edina
Dear Mr. Caldwell:
Based upon your comments made at the January 4, 1978 Planning Commission meeting
regarding the above referenced matter, I have reviewed our files concerning the
past acquisitions by the City of Edina of Mr. Madsen's property.
Our files indicate that Mr. Madsen donated approximately 6 acres of property
in 1969 to the City of Edina. In 1975, the City of Edina purchased approximately
15 acres from Mr. Madsen for $120,000+.
It was my impression at the Planning Commission meeting that you implied that
the property under option by Landvesco should receive some "density or park-
land dedication considerations" in that Mr. Madsen had donated property to
the City for park land on past occasions. Enclosed please find a copy of the
October 20, 1975 City Council minutes as well as a memo of understanding between
the City and Mr. Madsen. Both of these documents indicate that the sale of
the Madsen property to the City included no contingencies or understandings.
that would in any way benefit Mr. Madsen or any future developer of Mr. Madsen's
remaining property. It was further understood that when the remaining property
was developed, additional parkland would be dedicated in accordance with the
Southwest Edina Plan.
In that I was not directly involved in the acquisition of Mr. Madsen's property,
I may not be fully apprised of other conditions of this transaction. Please
advise if you have additional facts. Thank.you.
Sincerely,
.,

Box 8, County Trunk F, Hudson, Wisconsin 54016
Telephone (715) 386 -8201 or (612) 436 -5281
February 7, 1978
Thank you for your letter dated January 9, 1978 which is a recap of
the purchase by the city of approximately 15 acres from Mr.- Orville
Madsen. As you clearly point out that in 1975 there were no contin-
gencies or possible future benefits promised to Mr. Madsen when that
15 acres was purchased by the city considerably below the market value.
The land did have 7 buildable single family lots on the westerly
portion. Essentially, the sale price was at the market value of the
buildable land and the balance Mr. Madsen transferred without addi-
tional compensation as a gift.
However, the critical issue remains that prior to this action, Mr.
Madsen did make a "park land dedication or contibution" in 1969 of.
approximately 6 acres of property out of his total tract. By virtue
of the fact that the city subsequent to this gift has enacted legisla-
tion requiring "park dedication lands ", which at the time the gift
was made was not mandatory, does not erase the fact that Mr. Madsen
has already complied with this legislation of his own volition.
It seems to be unreasonable to penalize a person such as Mr. Madsen
who was far sighted enough to recognize the need for a community to
preserve open space and voluntarily offered to dedicate open spaces
in 1969 before it was even required by law.
Furthermore, there appears to be a definite misconception of the under-
lined portion of the attached resolution when you stated "It was further
understood that when the remaining property was developed, additional
�., parkland would be dedicated in accordance with the Southwest Edina
Plan ". You will note that Mr. Luce was.not referring to the Madsen
-- property but to some unnamed party to the north. Mr. Douglas T. Madsen,
Orville's son, and I both were the only ones discussing this matter
with the city and both of us are willing to present affidavits, if
necessary, stating that this was never promised verbally or otherwise .
in any discussions with the city.
Rather, what actually occurred is that Mr. Luce unilaterally stated
that he would attempt to enforce this action. To the contrary, I
personally objected stating to Mr. Luce that there would be no way
Page 2 February 7, 1978
the city could prevail in a course of action which required a second
park contribution on the remaining property.
Neither Doug or I wish to rule out the possibility that at some future
time we will recommend to his father or to a subsequent owner of this
property that to create an esthetically pleasing development, either
with or without Amundson Road becoming a reality, then we may.wish to
cooperate and' voluntarily make additional parkland available. However,
this would only be feasible if it did not effectively preclude orderly
development of his property.
It appears that if the city were to allow.the density to be set at
the 1975 agreed on level of 12 units per gross acre indicated in the
attached council proceedings, the site should yield about 120 units.
Or if the city were to view the current tract of land plus the 1969
public land dedication of 6 acres, then the site would yield at least
120 units even under the current density reduction formula. However,
if the city did not recognize the original 6 acre dedication and also
enforced this new reduction formula, it would in effect be a confisca-
tion of Mr. Madsen's property rights without due compensation.
In essence, what we are asking for is that the city be fair and reason-
able to Orville Madsen who has been more than fair with the city's
requests in the past. Should the city wish to put in Amundson Road
and have the western portion given to. the city, then the 120 units of
multi- family.luxury condominiums could be placed in a 5 or 6 story
structure on the easterly portion. However, if.the city elects to
drop the Amundson Road plan, then perhaps the best development would
be similar to the Lanvesco concept with a strip of park land through
the center to connect the large park to the south with the existing
park land to the north.
