Letter of July 5 from the Planning Commission was read
recommending the granting of a billboard permit to the business-
men at the Point for a directional sign on the Belt Line and
Glenwood Avenue. Mr. Powers of the Golden Valley Theatre spoke

a sketch of a directional sign of artistic design be presented
to the Council for consideration.
Mr. Paul Enghauser presented a sketch of the pro -posed
business development to be located at the intersection of
Olson Highway and the Belt line, northeast corner. Motion by

Motion by Pinch seconded by Stark carried to approve the
proposed grade line for Winn; a Avenue from Sixth Avenue N.
to a point north of Plymout gNubmitted by the Hennepin
County engineer with the stipulation that the County engineer
be advised of the drainage problem that might result at the
intersection of Winnetka and Sixth Avenue. The village engineer
indicated his general agreement with the proposed grade.
Letter dated June 22 from the County engineer was read
indicating the Board of County Commissioners' authorization
in changing the county road system within the Village. The
proposed changes would revert Moble Avenue to the Village for
maintenance, with Winnetka Avenue between Wayzata Boulevard
and Sixth Avenue forth and Turners Cross Road from 'Wayzata
Boulevard to the Belt Line service road being taken over by
the County. The Council indicated that it was its understand-
ing that Winnetka Avenue betweenWayzata Boulevard and Sixth
Avenue would automatically be taken over by the County and its
acceptance by the County had no bearing on the interchange of
other streets. The Council therefore approved the proposed
change of turning Winnetka Avenue over to the County for
maintenance in view of the fact that the Village is now pro-
oeeding with the acquisition of right of way along Winnetka
Avenue just north of Sixth Avenue N. The Council further in-
dioated that it could not accept the exchange of Noble Avenue
(County Road 69) for Turners Cross Road in view of the varied
drainage problems on 'Noble Avenue and the fact that a large
share of the traffic on Noble is through traffic from Robbins -
dale and Crystal to Golden Valley Road. Terzich was authorized
to inform the County engineer of the Council's actions on
these matters.
,Letter dated June 27 from Charles F. Doell, superintendent
of Minneapolis parks was read pertaining to the possible con-
struction of France .venue just south of Olson Fighway and west
of Glenwood Parkway. The consensus of the Council was that the
projects already in process would require the postponement of
any action on construction of France Avenue this year. 'How-
ever, the Council indicated that the Park Board be informed
that the Council has no objections to the Park Police enforcing
the parking ordinance on Glenwood Parkway at this point and
that possibly such action on their part would force parking on
Village streets,or eventually the residents living there would
request the construction of France Avenue.
Letter of June 30 from the Village of Osseo was read per-
taining to the Village of Brooklyn Center Joining the Mutual
Aid Fire League. The Council indicated that the Village of
Osseo be notified of the fact that Golden Valley had signed
u
an agreement on April 4, and therefore had no objection to
the Village of Brooklyn Center becoming a member of the Fire
League.

request for gas main extensions on Glenwood Avenue per Map #52,
Drawing #76, on file.

moved its adoption:

nizes the worthwhile service rendered by Glenwood Hills
