400 feet between their hones and the utQities. The matter of a 'connection
charge' to be paid at some time in the future whea these properties connect to
the utilities was discussed, with VWge Attorney Wjndhorst discouraging the
Council as to such a policy but stating that if devglopers are to make the *
qangements, &ny contract agreeable to all parties ncight be made. W. Posselt
asked to go on record as favoring some arrangement for a future connection
charge. Developer Roy Peterson stated that'some of the residents bordering
Brittany Bad on the Vest do want the utiJ%ies and that, for that reason, he
does not thjnk the 'connection charge' idea acgood one.' 3b?.yPeterson stbed that
that portion of the,Posselt and Sm€th,,properties can be utiuged after Brittany
Road is constructed,-whereas there is no access to these properbles at %he

pese@ed :a,repqrt .dated- Jay 15, 1955, sh0tJ;ing the .necessity for the future
regulation of the water level 51 Lake Cornelia. Pleyerfs recommendations
were as follows:
sufficiently-deep-to permit passage of small boats; QP, if this is objectionable,
by installation of a cnlvert.
low concrete h roof of culvert at elevation 865, be built through 66th St., to
provide channel suitable for navigation by small boats.
and adjoining ponds; and that storage capacity between elevation 859 and
elevation 863 be utilized whenever necessary for emergency storage of excessive
moff from torrential rains, while Himehaha Creek is also in flood and unable
to carry off additional flood water.. 4. That after Zake Cornelia and pond northerly thereof have been connected, a ditch. be constructed in northerly direction from large pond and that this ditch
be carried nostheastePXy under West 62nd St., with control works to .be installed
just norbh of present 21tf, sanit-qry Sewer,_and that discharge channel be excavated
through the marsh with amculvert under 58th St,, and a continuation of ditch to an outlet in PlLinneMa Creek, with a gate at 38th St. for tenporarily controlling
the outflow from the qsh in conjunction with control of the outr"1ow from
Lake Cornelia,
I '5.- Regulation of control stznucture should be responsibility of VWge.
Cons5derable discussion foLLorJ-ed. the report, with Engineer 23.W recomend3ng that
Emhaps drainage to Nine-lfile Creek would be pract&cal, and_&. Meyer stating that
he believes that in the not too far future both methods will be utilized, bat that
he thinks this one should be first. Fronkrs motion, authorizing &. s;;.Lkan to
consult with Nr. Meyer as to route and drainage district, as well as estimate 02
cost, in order that Council might schedule Storm Sewer Hearing, was seconded by
Danens and carried. . I
dROSSTcrr.JN HIGHWAY. kager ITyde presented proposed route for Crosstown Hl.ghway,
stating ..that ..qp$erences with Whneapolis City Engineer; Richfield Manager and
Engineer, and Hemepin County .&&way officials_make it look as thopgh there is
a definite possibility €hat Minneapolis will go ahead dth its proposed crosstokn route as a thoroughfare; that it wiJl stop #at the Edha Village Xihits at 'approxi-
mately 62nd and Xerxes; that the County has plans for a route be%ween 62nd and
64th Streets; th& the Village must decide whether to route this traffic along 6.
residential streets or to provide athoroughfare for it; that, ip dew of .present
plans by the City and Countythe Council should take action Wediatelyto prevent- 'z
fluYther building within the proposed right-of-way for appmxritely SLX months
in order that we can determine more specifically the advisability and practicability
of the routefs going through. Trustee Tupa stated that before he would be w5lling to take any definite adion on the recornendad thoroughfare he would like to know:
1. Is it necessary? 2. Is it irS the best interests of the public? 3. Who 9s
going to pay for It?, 4. mere is it going to starb and where is i-t goingto end?
There was further d5scussion on the matter, and Fro& moved that warning be given

that said building peMnit applications be referred to the Council., was seconded
by Damns and carried.,
