II. ZONING
Z-62-2Boh.En s tom Town Houses. 5500 France Avenue South
Mr. Engstrom presented his request for multiple residence
zoning on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Beard's Elmwood Terrace for
the purpose of developing a six unit town house project
on the site. These lots are on the west side of France
Avenue at about West 55th Street. Mr. Engstrom displayed
a proposed site plan along with a collection of pictures
Of similar developments in eastern cities. He stressed
that the proposed units would be of good quality and in
his opinion a credit to the Edina community.
Mr. Hite directed the Commission's attention to his written
report on this subject which emphasized that in many
respects this type of multiple residence development was
more in keeping with Edina's residential traditions than
are the apartments now being constructed throughout the
Village. He suggested that this housing concept should be
encouraged, but that as with any type of multiple residence
development, particularly close attention would have to be
given to the problems of siting.
Mr. Todd indi-ated that he, for one, was not sure that
Edina wantedinis "tenament or row housing", but that he
did feel that the idea needed additional thought .and stud,
before a decision could be reached,
Mr. Wilkinson waid he thought that good quality town house
de.eelo,ment would he welcomed in Edina, but that the
Eng trcm proposal was both too small in scope and poorly
rei�=,ted to adjacent single family development.
Mfr. Lewin mu,%aed that the request be denied. After a second by
Fess. Wilkinson, the motion carried unanimously.
