Mr. Putnam, Village Planner, explained the project's background and recommended denial of the rezoning request based on the facts that the Smetana Sector Study, which will amend the 1968 Comprehensive Guide Plan, has not been approved; possible location changes in county and vii lage roads; and lack of utility service by Edina for the additional 300 feet. Interest- ed property owners and the Planning Commission have met regard- ing the planning of the sector and it is hoped that the study would be completed within the next month. Poss ible additional Planning Commission meetings may be scheduled to work on the sector study. Condor representative Jim Smuda stated that the ir request trig- gered so many other - considerations for the area that perhaps the request is being lost sight of in terms of its scope. He felt that effort had not been made by the Planning Commission to look specifically at their problem. The question of the road was resolved at the request of the Commiss ion and addi- tional monies spent for replanning the site. lir. Smuda re- ported that Messrs. Helle and Pearson have no o bjections to Con- dor's plans and the two residential dtsel 1 ings a re over 1,000 feet from the site It was requested that the Council either approve the rezoning request or ask the Planning Commission to give this project priority.

GENERAL TNFORMATEON The Usk. Region Ritual Aid Association evolved from a group of suburban . - fire chiefs concerned with the training of their men to close the wide gap between what urban fin departments are now doing and what the sub- urban departments must do to meet the problems of expended industrial- ization, population growth and an expanded economy. The concept of fire service and fire fighting is changing rapidly and by growing deliberately they will be able to avoid obsolescence. The center will be used to conduct the annual fire and industrial fire colleges, weekend training for volunteers, basic training for recruits, fire and arson investigation schools, demonstrations of techniques and materials, the fire administrators institute and the fire instructor training course. This group has taken the initial steps to acquire the 20 acre Nike Base northwest of St. Bonifacius for a purchase price of $20,750.00 to be used as a training facility for fire fighters. This will give the chiefs the opportunity to better utilize the time dedicated for training fire fighters. I C. GENERAL REV/IMAMS AND OBJECTIVES This program has bean prepared to outline the requirements for conversa- tion to arid rendification of the Nike Base at St. Bonifacius, Minnesota, into a firm fighting scnool. the following items will be analyzed for initial purchase and first year operation. /.. General work including site 2. Mechanical work 3. Electrical work The liaison established with the surrounding property owners will be an important factor in the planning, design aund operation of the new facil- ity. The present clean rural-farm like atmosphere will be maintained and incorporated in all phases of planning design and operation. The winterising of existing and new facilities will be analyzed in the future to afford year around utilization of the fire fighting school. Upon approval of this program, studies should be reads to show a master plan to anaewer the ultimate needs for a first rate fire fighting school. -3- 11 1). TRAINING P1oGRA14 A.

This amendment to the land alteration ordinance was adopted July 10, 1973. On August 3, 1973, I received a letter from the firm of Lindquist & Vennum over the signature of Mr. Maclay R. Hyde dated July 30, 1973, making application to the Village of Eden Prairie for a permit for certain land grading activities. The letter went on to say that additional materials required by Village ordinances would be submitted. (Copy of 7/3 0/73 letter enclosed - Attachment A) In a letter dated September 10, 1973, and received my office September 11, 1973, from the law firm of Vesely, Otto, Miller & Keefe over signature of John B. Keefe, the Village was informed that pertinent data required under the ordinances would be made available for staff review and that Feeders, Inc. requested to be placed on the Tuesday. September 25, 1973, Council agenda. The necessary materials were not forthcoming at the time the September 25th Council agenda was prepared; therefore, the matter was not included on the agenda. On September 24, 1973, the Village received a document from the firm of Lindquist & Vennum over the signature of Mr. Maclay R. Hyde, enclosing certain materials supporting the application for a permit to undertake certain land grading activities. Copies of the same report were also delivered, it is my understanding, to members of the Village Council. Inasmuch as the Feeders property is in the Major Center Area, the process that would be followed would be consistent with the approved recommendations of the Major Center Area Task Force as specified in the Major Center Planned Unit Development adopted this past July by the Village Council. Namely, recommendation 1 under environment: that all developments within the Major Center Area will be governed by Village P.U.D. standards for the Major Center Area. Further, that the review of all the developmental proposals require a suitable Environmental Impact Statement and that the provisions of Ordinance No. 142, amended by Ordinance No. 226, relating to grading and hnd alteration be followed. Page 2 It is recommended that the Village Council in the meeting of October 9, 1973, inform representatives of Feeders, Inc. that their request for grading permit will be processed according to the provisions mentioned above. The grading permit application should be referred to the Village Manager for review by himself, members of the Village staff and the Planning Commission, Park and Recreation Commission for review and recommen- dations. In addition, the Major Center Area Task Force would also convene to review the grading permit application. Other agencies that have indicated an interest in the grading permit application should receive copies of material provided the Village. These agencies include the Riley— Purgatory Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture , Minnesota State Highway Department, and Hennepin County Department of Public Works. Upon the completion of the review of this grading permit application by the various agencies, Village boards, advisory commissions, and staff, the Council then should establish a date for public hearing of the grading permit. On a separate but related natter, administrative approval has been granted to Feeders, Inc. to remove the building located at 12809 West 78th Street on their property. Permission to demolish the building is specific in excluding the right to bury the material and of course does not include permission to excavate or grade any of the land.

Novak, Heinrich and Leikvold, Managers Hopkins, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, respec tively Gentlemen: Your manifestation of a willingness to cooperate with the Village of Edina in a study of inter-municipal traffic in the Highway 18 corridor front Excelsior Boulevard to Interstate 494, as evidenced at our recent meeting, is deeply appreciated. The situation may be summarized as follows: fidiraa is concerned as to whether Hennepin County should proceed with its _plan of several years to construct an interchange at Highway 18 and Valley View Road which would alloe full access to residential streets in Edina, and as to whether an additional outlet should be provided to Illghway 18 from the Parkwood Knolls residential area. This section is want of Blake Road, north of Vernon Avenue (Old 169) and east of Nine Mile Creek. Some groups feel that if the 18-Valley View Road interchange is built as planned, Valley View Road in Edina will become a thoroughfare for traffic destined for present and future development in Eden Prairie. Others feel that if access to Valley View Road is not provided, other major streets in Edina will be more heavily traveled. Residents in the Parkwood Knolls area dasire more outlets from that section, which now depends primarily con Blake Road and Vernon Avenue.. Now:ever, if an existing residential street, Londonderry Road, is extended AC COSS Nina line Creek and generally connected with the interchange to be built near Pabri-Tek, it could conceivably attract through traffic des- tined for planned developments in Minnetonka and Hopkins. The Edina Council appointed an ad hoc committee to study the 15- Valley View situation, and i ts recommendation was that a cumsultant should loo retained to estimate future traffic volcuses at specified points in the southwest liciine road system under the various alternatives considered for County Road 19 and Valley View Road. At about the same time, a neighborhood committee in the Parkwood araa won MM. :AZ to reach a firm conclusl ,,n as the problem there. Conse- quently, t'ne Council end eta ff decided to cosbine the two areas into one Messrs. Novak, Heinrich and Leikvold Page Two for traffic study purposes. A subcommittee of the Valley View area group, including Village staff, interviewed three consuL tants and currently favors either Jack Anderson or Bather-Ringrose-Wolsfeld. The estimated cost of a study is $18,000. It would be designed to provide computerized allocations of traffic to various streets depending upon whether the Valley View and Fabri-Tek interchanges provided full or limited access, and would necessitate full study of developments on the west side of 18 in Eden Prairie, Minnetonka and Hopkins. Because these are primarily Edina problems at present, the Village of Edina is not asking for a substantial financial contribution Eros the other municipalities, but does feel that the traffic front Edina Co develop. ments west of 18 should be a factor in your planning. We suggest, therefore, that Edina pay 50 percent and each of the other three pay 16-2/3 percent apiece, or $9,000 and $3,000. We would like to reach a decision very soon in order not to delay the County processes on the Valley View interchange; and in order to obviate unnecessary delays, do not believe a formal Joint Powers organization is necessary. We would suggest that a Councilman, a staff person end a citizen from each of the four municipalities make up the task force. Would it be possible for you to advise us by October I am to whether your municipality will participate and how much expenditure you c an commit? If October 1 is too soon to allow Council action, when could you give a def inite answer? Thank you.. ly yours)" /77/ area C.
