PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED NINE-MILE CREEK TRUNK SEVER. Affidavit. of- Publica$ion
of "Notice of Hearing", published in Edina-Morningside Courier January 14 and 24,
1957, was submitted, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Hyde reviewed for Council and audience the plan for the sewer, and the proposed
assessment district.
sewer service and are unable to secure it without the proposed trunk line;
namely the Chapman interests, Brookview Heights subdivisions, Lake Edina Addition,
and other platted or about-to-be-platted tracts.
Graph drawing, explaining that the trunk sewer is ordinarily the deepest of
underground installations; that watermain, gas, and other utilities are installed
above the trunk; that, if other utilities go in before the trunk sewer is laid,
hand digging is necessary for installation of the sewer, thus making it con-
siderably more expensive. He explained that there are many areas along the pro-
posed line of the trunk sewer which as yet have no other utilities; that, for an
economical job the work should be done, now, while the streets are free from t
other installations. Manager Hyde read the Engineer's Estimate of Cost,for the;
entire project from France Avlenue to County Road No. 18, at $1,601,568.00;
proposed to be assessed at $3.30 per Assessable Front Foot for platted property--
with a 150-Ft. maximum on large lots which carries, a restriction against subdi-
vision--and $660 per Acre on unplatted property.
.that trunk sewer assessments have been on a 20-year basis, but that this might
be on a 30-year basis if property owners so desire.
connections to the trunk sewer was explained by PAr. Hyde, who stated that a
charge of $4.75 (an average of lateral sewer costs) will be charged per front
foot, in addition to the trunk sewer assessment, in those areas where the trunk
sewer can be used as a lateral.

for the Brookview Heights area, in order that sewage may be gotten out of the.
He commended the Village Engineering Department for preparation of a
sound and feasible plan; recommended a 25-year assessment; and asked that the
Council expedite the project.
the sewer, now, he eventually will need it and so will everyone else; that, as
a matter of economy he feels it is sensible to complete the project how.
3. Mr. John Childers, 5216 Meadow Ridge, said he feels that the matter is
fast becoming a health problem and that sewer should go in as soon as possible.
4. Cheer at 5212 Abercrombie Drive reported considerable cesspool trouble
throughout the area, advocating installation of sewer just as soon as possible.
5. Mr. George Weatherbee, 5137 Meadow Ridge advocated installation of sewer,
now, in interest of economics. He stated he feels that the Village must grow
in this direction; that delay in construction will mean more money and more
health problems as the population grows; that installation, now, should be a
fine investment for owners of undeveloped land.
Mr. E. C. Stow, developer of Brookview Heights Subdivisions and Lake Edina,
reminded Council that installation of sewer, now, is more expensive than it would
have been when Brookview Heights was first developed; that, had sewer been
installed prior to development, the cost of cesspools would have been saved.
He stated he believes the trunk sewer is a must; that, when an average of 200 gals
of water is pumped per day into the ground on each 100-foot lot the ground
eventually becomes saturated and a sewer must be provided.
anyone is interested in selling his property installation of the sewer will
increase propert value.
stated he feels the Northwestern part of the proposed assessment district is not
yet ready for development; that it will not be developed for five, or maybe even
ten years; that the Northern portion of the construction should be delayed until
it is needed and land is ready for it.

2. Mr. Robert Ostman, 5613 County Road No. 18, concurred in Mr. Naas' statements.
He asked if Hopkins will be going into this trunk line and was informed by ltIayor
Breilesen that Edina's allotted capacity into the Richfield-Edina interceptor is
not sufficient to permit Hopkins to come in. Mr. Ostman then inquired as to the
reason for the proposed sewer out to County Road No. 18, and Manager Hyde explained
that the trunk has been designed to serve the entire area; that, if the northwestern
part does not want sewer, now, and the size of the line is reduced accordingly, it
will be necessary to lay a parallel pipe at some future time, or to relay the sewer,
to serve the northwestern area at such time as they desire sewer service; that this
is impractical to all concerned.
stated he feels that the project is premature; that his land is not ready for
development; -that, with the prospect of a lateral sewer in the area soon his
assessments on his 20-acre tract could run into thousands of dollars per year.
4. !.k. Alfred Pavelka, 6001 County Road No. 18, stated he feels that the
assessment could never be recovered on sale of the land because the land is not
yet ready for development. hlr. Hyde reminded audience that completion of plans
for Crosstown Highway and County -Road No. 18 improvements will spur development ,
but Mr. Pavelka remained adamant in his contention that it would be at least five
years before the property will be ready for development.
assessment will take fifty percent of his farming income.

He stated that his yearly
Trustee Bank, stating that it seems apparent that at least that portion of the
sewer lying South and East of Valley View Road is needed and wanted, asked if the
sewer could be laid to this point, with pipe sufficiently large to allow service
to the upper area at a late$ date.
in an amount of $890,400 for laying the trunk line to Valley View Road--increasing
the assessable cost from 1643 per foot per year for platted property to 2123 per
year. The Estimate of Cost for the sewer as far as Highway No. 169 was $1,300,000,
or 17& per foot per year for plahted property. He stated that there are some legal
problems as to assessment procedure, and asked Attorney I'Jindhorst for his advice.
1.l~. li'indhorst informed the Council that if an assessment is not levied for the full
cost of installing whatever pipe is now put in, the balance would have to be paid
out of the general revenue fund or out of a bond issue in excess of-assessments.
If payment is made from a bond issue, the Council can assess the area to the':
Northwest of the present sewer terminus at such time in the future as it wishes;
that if such assessment is deferred, it would be necessary to assess at a higher
rate in the future, to cover cost plus interest which the Village would have to
pay in the meantime; that Council may levy an immediate assessment against the
Northwest area for its proportionate share of the line (necessary difference in
size of pipe plus share of construction cost plus cost of necessary lift-station).
Manager Hyde presented Estimates of Cost,-
Trustee Fronk asked about the demand for the sewer between Valley View Road and
Trunk Highway No. 169, and I&. H.R. Burton, owner of 58 acreas at Olinger Road
and Tracy Avenue, and Folke Victorsen, owner of 20 acres just North of I&,
Burton's .property, both advocated construction. Lk. Hill of Sweadlund 8 Hill, .
developers, stated he would like to be served; and Engineer Zikan reported that
it is possible that Ylalnut Ridge subdivision will be in need of sewer shortly,
There were no objections to installation of the sewer as far as necessary toe
serve V!alnut Ridge--with the exception of Mr. R.E. Olson's earlier protest.
Attorney I'lindhorst advised that since there appeared to be not too large an -
amount to be assessed hverthe area not to be immediately served, the Council
may wish to levy an immediate assessment for this area--from the proposed
Highway No. 169 or YJalnut Ridge terminus, North and West; that they also have
the power to defer the assessment-indefinitely, or for a specified number of
years; but that, in the latter cases the Council would not be committed-lega€ly
to postpone levy for the time specified by this Council.
Trustee Fronk, stating that it is the desire of the Council to provide server
for those who need and want it, but not to work hardship on those who have no
immediate need for the sewer, offered the following Resolution and moved its
adoption:

Fronk's motion for adoption of Resolution was seconded by Tupa.
DISCUSSION:
Bredesen asked the audience if it was clear to all that the Council-will levy
an assessment immediately upon completion of the project, against the area beyond
the terminus of the line, for that area's proportionate share of construction cost
of the line--which is being constructed sufficiently large to serve this area in
%he future--and of the lift station also necessary to serve this area.
no objection from the audience on this method of assessment.
asked that some provision be mads for deferment of assessment in the area to be.
immediately served, but Mr. Bredesen stated it is the Council's feeling khat the
Village General Fund should not be required to finance costs in the area to be
immediately served; that it is doubtful whether any deferred assessment would be
considered.

articles of clothing, to demonstrate the validity of their complaints.
Carlson stated she can bleach her yellowed clothes with oxalic acid, but that this
ruins them in time. Manager Hyde explained that, after considerable research, the
Village has contracted for a treatment to keep the iron in the water in suspension;
but the Carlsons maintained that the problem is singularly their own--that their
neighbors are not having trouble; that they feel the water tap may have been
improperly made at the bottom of the pipe, thus allowing foreign matter to enter
their pipe. Mr. Carlson stated that there are actually flakes of foreign matter

Hyde was instructed to have the house connection dug up and inspected at the
earliest possible time--preferably tomorrow.

METROPOLITAN PLANNING CONWISSION BILL. Pursuant to discussion held at the,
last meeting, Mr. Hyde asked Counci1"s policy on this proposed legislation.
It was consensus of opinion that the.Metropolitan Planning Commission, as
established by this bill, would serve a good purpose; namely that of a
clearing-house for the plans of the various municipalities, but some
disapproval was voiced on the possibility that 'future legislation would make
the recommendations of the Commission mandatory upon the municipalities.
Hyde strongly recommended going along with this legislation, citing strides
made by other metropolitan areas under the same type of system. Fronk's
motion, that the Council back this proposed legislation, was seconded by Tupa
and carried.
