He also stated that, if this project is approved,
1.k. Hyde told the Council that one written protest has been received--that of
the ow-ier of No. 57 5oodland Circle, trhose property backs up to France Avenue;
that he has been asked concerning the type of culvert to cross Hinnehaha Creek--
that some owners feel a bridge-type construction would be better, but that the
proposed culvert is some (@O,OOO cheaper than a bridge. He showed an artist1s
drawing of the culv-ert-type construction. He asked that Council consider the
request of St.Peter's Lutheran Church for relief from assessment for curb and
gutter, inasmuch as they already have curb and gutter on their block; then
stated ,the County feels it my be cheaper in the long run to tear up this curb
and replace it than to hzve the paving in this block done by manual labor,
3Irs. Tirginia Beard inquired as to whether the Church assessment would be divided
among other owners on the street and vas informed that this is not certajn but
thst it probably KLl be, inasmuch as the Church receives no benefit and it r.Zl.1

1,k. Carl Friestad, 5925 France, inquired as to the location of the proposed curb
and gutter, and I-k. Hyde reported that the street will be 44 feet xide from curb
to curb; that there be an eleven-foot boulevard back of the curb.
Er. 1.1, C. ITatson, 5824 France, after reading from the statutes concerning methods
of levying special assessnents, stated he feels any assessment for this imprrovemsnt
would be inequitable because, in talking to several real estate agents he has found
they feel France Avenue property has deteriorated in value since the inception of
Southdale. Qillage Attq mer Tlindhorst stated t hat the determinrit ion of benefit
should be made on the value of the propzrby today compared with its value after
completion of tie 2rilprovment; that the theory is that there trill be heavy traffic
on France Avenue, whether or not the improvement is made; that there vLll be less
nuisance with traffic over good road than with said traffic over roads full of
chuck holes, and that improvement of the rozd rill also improve the appezrance of
-
, the property.
c)l-V 11/26/56 P..* I
IIrs. B. J. Stanek, 3820 'I.J.55th St., asked why concrete paving is contemplated,
rather than blaclrtopping. County Xngineer Pederson answered that , although
blacktopping-may be cheaper initially, repair and upkeep costs make it more
expensive than concrete paving over a period of rears. Nayor Bredesen told
the audience that because the Council realizes that concrete paving is more
expensive initially, the assessment has been cut to make the cost to the
benefited property owners appro,uimatelg that of a blacktopping assessment.
Nr. Lee Paris, 59 Voodland Circle, asked Who determines the benefited property
with regard to heavy truck traffic, and what vote would be necessary to defeat
the proposed improvement?" He stated he feels the improvement will be of no
benefit to his pmperty. Attorney Windhorst explained that the Council has
the legal power to order in the improvement without regard to any technical
vote of the property owners; that the method of defeating the improvement
would be to prove that the council had acted so arbitrarily that the Court
would enjoin the improvement. Mr. Paris commented that, in his opinion, the
entire Village will share in the improvement, and he was informed that this,
too, is one reason the Village General Fund will bear a portion of the cost.
TJ~. Fronk pointed out that, throughout the Village there must be some access
roads, to get traffic where it wants to go; that a system of purely residential
streets would be of no value.
feels that France Avenue property owners are paying twice for the improvement--
once by assessment and again into the General Fund for the improvement.
c e-
Mr. T1.K. Decker, 5920 France Avenue, sts,ted he
Nr. 1-1. C. Helling, 5921 France, stated he feels that France Avenue is being
improved, now, to provide access to Southdale Shopping Center, and asked thy
Southdale is not being assessed. Nr. Hyde explained that Southdale will bear
its shre of the General Fund levy. On inquiry as to how Valley View Road
was financed, the audience was informed that the County and Southdzle paid
for the blacktopping; that owners were assessed for curb and gutter,
Eredesen reminded property owners that they have paid nothing for the
present France Avenue, whereas owners abutting other streets have been
assessed for improvements.
-4 question was raised as to possibility of restricting axle weight on France;
ard County Engineer Pederson answered that the County posts no weight restriction,
excepb during the spring break-up.
W. D.F. Darney, 5932 France Avenue, who stated he will be assessed for two lots,
reported that he cannot be convinced that- his property will be benesited by curb
and gutter; that he does not want the improvement, and that he protests paying
for hard surfacing.
Hr,

I
Narmal procedure of cost distribution on improvement of County Roads was questioned.
County Ehgineer Pederson told the audience that the presently proposed cost distri-
bution for France Avenue conforms with County policy. He cited Excelsior Boulevard
and Vaymta Boulevard as two streets which had been improved under the same type
of co st distribution.
Mrs. lillits, 55 Woodland Circle, inquired as to assessment on cemetery property,
and &in Hyde explained that assessment dl1 be made against cemetery property for
improvement, even though it is tax exempt insofar as general tax levy is concerned.
Et?. Halloway, 6101 France, inqired concerning Sanitary Sewer south of 60th St.,
and wascinformed that a formal public hearing will be held concerning this
improvement, before actual construction of road improvement is contemplated.
Trustee Fronk inquired of the County Engineer whether the culvert type of bridge
is practical across a body of water such as the creek, which reaches high levels
in the spring and then dries out during the summero He asked, also, whether swift
water entering the culvert might not tend to form a whirZpoo1 and result in deep
holes at either side of the culvert, and whether the culvert might not be a hazard
to children. Hi?. Pederson replied that Nr. Fronk's questions have been taken into
consideration by designing engineers; that investigation has been made with the
Hinneapolis Park Board, the I~Enneapolis Engineering Department and others to
deterinihe the advisability of the culvert-type construction; that it has been found
safe and that it has'more capacity than the bridge at 30t@ Avenue South over
Ninnehaha Creek; that the culvert planned can take 400 cu.ft. per second.
Pederson stated that the -culvert planned for France Avenue is 15$ feet wide and
10 feet 1 inch at the ceder; that one lLke it has been installed at 19th ilvenue,
just East of Glenwood Hills Hospital.
Nr. J. Tf. Benson, 5900 France Avenue, complained that there was a lack of comuni-
cation on the part of the Village, with property owners having too little time to
marshal their arguments. Ile asked thet decision on the improvement be postponed,
Bank's motion, that Hearing be continued to December 10, was seconded by Tupa
and carried.

this continued Hearing with the reading of a letter from 141's. Elof G, Carlson,
objecting to having the alley opened for the reason that she does not wish to
pay an assessment for its improvement. Nrs. Fleming, objector to the proposed
Vacation, told the Council she feels there is some misunderstanding on the part
of her neighbors as to what is to be done; that she, and the other neighbors who
object to vacation, wish to grade the alley at their own expense, in order that
they might have access to their rear yards. It was noted by the Council that
there are some five lots affected at the South end of the alley, and two lots at the North end; that all property owners on both sides of the alley, between
Lots 4 and 23 and Lots 9 and 18, Block 5, wish the alley vacated.
told the Council he had checked with the Village office before planning his house
for Lot 3, and was told that the alley had not been Pacated and he would have
access to his lot from the rear; that there is now insufficient space for an
att-ached garage at this new home.
the Council vacate that portion of the alley on which there was unanimous
petition; then, as another compromise, that the Council vacate the entire alley,
upon assurance that Iblrs. Fleming, I&. Garrison and any others needing access from
the rear, secure easements from their neighbors for the neighbors' portion of
the vacated alley; i.e., Nr. Garrison would secure easement from the owner of
Lot 2 for the East 1/2 of .the vacated alley; Nr. Curtis Reynolds, owner of Lot
10, would secure easements from the owners of Lots 11, 12 and 13 for the East
1/2 of the vacated alley; l4r. Fleming, owner of Lot 11, would secure like ease-
ments from the owners of Lots 12 and 13; and the owner of Lot 12 would secure
easement fromthe owner of Lot 13.

and Scattergood, all of the 400 Block on John Street, asked for information
concerning restoration of John Street to its original condition, after construction
of Sanitary Sewer,
and, second, What steps should be taken to restore it to a good, passable I
condition?tf I&* Hyde -reported to them that this Villdge has not followed the
policcy of requiring all excavated material to be taken away and replaced with
new afgregate; that such policy would add considerable to the cost of the sewer
ppoject (which the residents dready believe to be too high); that neither has
the Village resorted to mechanical compaction--which is another heavy cost item.
He stated that because this is a clay area the residents must be prepared to
suffer some inconvenience until the backfill is settled; that Phelps-Drake has
already hauled rock into the street to make it passable. Residents then asked
about the possible re-opening of the street to the North, objecting to such
plan, if apy. Wes Hyde informed them that this opening was secured by Phelps-
Drake Company, simply to give two-way access to the property owners during the
construction period; that there are no plans to re-open it permanently. As to
responsibility for restoring the road, l4r. Hyde reporked that it is the
responsfoility of the Village to see that Phelps-Drake performs its contract;
and Ur. Guy Drake reminded residents that contractor is responsible for
maintenance of the street, insofar as replzcing the turn-around and crossings
off the road is concerned; also, that he knows the road is now high, but that
this problem will have to be worked out neAc spring when the frost comes out
of the ground.
