Notes on this are in Bearing File
a
Parties appeared for many of the petitioners involved in this matter. It was
generally agreed that the northern part of the area which was being studied
and had been petitioned for rezoning should be rezoned. The problem was in
locating a southerly boundary for this rezoning,. It was felt that some more
study should be done and some additional information prepared for the Council
so that they could make a determination where the southerly line should go.
Therefore, Mr. Kenneth hriderson moved , seconded by Alvin Bren to continue the
Hearing until September 14, 1966.
The motion carried .
ITEMS 5-11-66 EDINA SEWER
Mr. Wood reported as follows: They had contacted the Village of Edina re-
garding additional areas that should or could be involved in the Sewer Hook-up
with the Village of Edina. Edina has advised the Engineer as far as they are
concerned they are not going to determine the area that would be included
in the district sewer in Eden Prairie or the total amount of acreage that
could or could not be served by the Sewer. The only thin; that they would be
interested in and what they would set any requirement on would be the total
flow of sewage going into the mains in the Village of Edina. Mr. Perbix advised
that if we wanted to include the Garrison property in the district at the present
time we would have to stop any action and back up to a new series of -preliminary
engineering reports, public hearings, etc. , in order to expand the district at
this time. E

the sewer lines yet this year that the Garrison-Jcnes property not be in-
cluded in the district at the present time. After the establiskrent of the
district , they can be included in the expansion program as the engineering
people in sizing the lines had inclined-,,roperty as potentially to be served
by this area.

that in his personal opinion that it was a good Ordinance. The only question
that Mr. Perbix had was; was there any conflicts with the requirements in this
proposed Ordinance and the requirements in the uniform building code which the
Village has adopted as a Standard. It was felt by the members of the Gas Co.

adopted this Ordinance. They were working from municipality to municipality

ITEM 8-29-66 POST OFFICE
Clerk Brown presented to the Council the fact that a new contract had been
signed for three years to operate a post office in the Village Fall at the
Village of Eden Prairie to be known as the Eden Prairie Branch of the Hopkins
Post Office. Decause of certain requirements with the Federal Government
and the Post Office Department, the contract was signed by the Clerk as James
C. Brown and he was not allowed to use either the Village of Eden Prairie or
his title as part of the contract proceedure. He presented a memorandum

the Village to operate this postoffice.

ITEM 8--25-66 AE:RIAL MAPPING OF THE VILLAGE
I-tr.. {food requested that the Council consider procuring a 2 foot contour
aerial map of the Village of Eden Prairie for use in various engineering
studies. He felt that the map was needed in order to properly layout roads,.
The development of good plats , drainage areas , the layout of a sanitary sewer
system , the layout of a potential water system in the Village, and generally j
to know where we stood when anybody came in with a request to alter a part-
COU11CIL MEETING - 7 24 August 1966
icular piece of land as far as the surrounding area was concerned. He felt
there are times when we have made decisions that while they were apparently
correct on the information available , .if additional information had been avail-
able , a different decision might have been made.
Mr. Wood felt that the Village could save the cost of the map many times over
in areas where construction projects would be put in that would be improperly
done due to the lack of full information that could cost several hundred
thousand dollars. He also felt that it would be a tool that would be used
everyday in the engineering aspects of the Village. It would be used by the
Village Planner in his work, by the Planning; and Zoning Board and by the
Council in making their decisions. The map would cost over $60,000.00 to
have made. The Mark Hurd people who have done this work before for other
areas will be willing to finance the Village on a two year program.
There is also the possibility of getting a Federal loan which could be paid
over a longer period of time for this particular map.
The Council felt at this point they should consider looking again into a Fed-
eral loan for the map and as the picture has changed with the approval of the
State Water Resources Board to allow the Village of Minnetonka to construct
a Sewage Treatment plant and discharge treated affluer_t into the Minnesota
River.
No formal action was taken on the request but the Council members will be
preparing information and also Mr. Wood and Re?_ke-Carrol-Muller Associates
as to what would go into the application for a new Federal loan and the ex-
hibits and covering letters that would go with it.
t
ITEM 8-28-66 COPIES OF THE VILLAGE MINUTES
The Clerk asked the Council to consider Vhat action should be taken as they
are receiving more and more requests for people to be put on the mailing list
for Agendas and Minutes, etc.
The Attorney advised that there should be a set policy for the Village. The
Clerk had had contacts made with some of the surrounding communities, some
charged for the minutes, some do not charge, etc.
The Attorney is to report back at the next Council meeting with some recommend-
ations for the Council to adopt on this matter.
No other action was taken at this time. �
