Resolution No. 384 Adopted April 8, 1957
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Section L1.71.30, part of the Minnesota
planning act includes the following paragraph:
"In appropriate plots of subdivisions to be developed for residential
uses the governing body of any municipality shall have the power to approve
the same as herein provided, and may require that a portion of such land of
sufficient size and character be set aside and dedicated to the public for
public use as parks and playgrounds."
WHEREAS, the Council of St. Louis Park has been informed that the
Hennepin County Senate Delegation has been asked to approve as a delegation
bill a proposal which would insert the phrase "in Municipalities located
within counties having a population of less than 500,000 the governing body
of such Municipality", between the word "and" and the word "may" in the third
line of the paragraph quoted above, and
WHEREAS, it is obvious that the effect of this proposal would be to make
the last portion of the paragraph inapplicable, to Hennepin County,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of St. Louis Park hereby
expresses its dissatisfaction with the proposed bill and request that the
Hennepin County Delegation make every effort to defeat the proposal.
Resolution No. 385 Adopted April 15, 1957
APPROVING PRELIMINARY PLAT OF MINNEHAHA
GABLES 2ND ADDITION
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered Preliminary Plat of
proposed subdivision disignated as "Minnehaha Gables 2nd Addition" filed by
M. P. Johnson Sales Company, and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that due to the land area involved and
existing width of street extensions in the vicinity, there are special cir-
cumstances affecting said property such that the provisions of Ordinance No.
558 requiring streets of 60 feet minimum width would deprive the applicant
of the reasonable use of his land; that a variance in said requirements
permitting streets of 50 foot width is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the petitioner; that the grant-
ing of said variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or in-
jurious to other property in the territory in which said property is sit-
uated, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that the said plat be hereby approved as the prelim-
inary plat of said•proposed subdivision, and variance in the regulations
of Ordinance No. 558 requiring streets of not less than 60 feet in width
be hereby granted as to 34th Street.
