ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION - 3 21 June 1966
Several of the Board members had earlier in the evening gone with them on
a land reconnaissance of the area. There was a certain amount of discussion
on where the lines should go.
a
A motion was made by Anthony Hirt, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt, that the west feeder
line should follow existing right-of-ways. Therefore, they felt that after it
had left the Sub-station to make a direct approach to Village road known as Jarrett
Road, out to County Road #-4, follow #r4 to what is known as Duck Lake Road and
Duck Lake Road to the 14inntonka-Eden Prairie boundary. At this point the Village
of Eden Prairie has no control over the direction of the line. The east feeder
line alignment following the tracks of the Chicago-Northwestern railroad meet
tiro with the Board requirements.
