PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT IN BROOKVIEW HEIGHTS -SOUTH
PART OF NORMANDALE SECOND ADDITION was called, pursuant to "Notice of Public
Hearing on Proposed Sanitary Sewer Improvement", published in Edina-Morningside
Courier May 30 and June 6, 1957. Affidavit of Publication of Notice was submitted
by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
that this proposed improvement has been introduced as a package to serve the South
part of Normandale Second Addition (in addition to Brookview Heights Addition, which
has petitioned for the service) because the section of Normandale Second Addition
included in this proposal must be served from Trunk Sewer No. C-1; that this
section will eventually tie into the lot* main proposed for a part of Brookview
Heights; and that, because of €his it is only equitable that these properties
should pay their share of the expensive cast-iron connection across the swamp
to Nine-Mile Creek.
Manager Hyde explained that bids had been taken this morning; that as a result
of the bids, the following Estimates of Cost had been prepared:
(Estimates based on proposal of low bidder)
Engineer Zikan explained
He showed Vu-Graph Slide for the benefit of the audience.
If the entire area (Brookview Heights and part of Normandale Second Addition)
is to be served, the estimated cost for Lateral Mains would be as follows:
1. On Base Proposal - Entirely in streets, with no tamping
2. On Alternate - Entirely in streets, with tamping $11.14 '',
3. On Alternate "A" - In Easement in lieu of West Service
4. On Alternate "B" - In Easement in lieu of West Service
$9.82 per Front Foot.

Messrs. Hyde and Zikan explained that some of the residents facing Normandale Road
were of the opinion that the main to serve them should be on an easement at the
back of their properties, rather than in the West Service Drive, because their
plumbing is constructed for a back connection. It was also explained that bids
were taken on tamping because some residents do not take kindly to living with
bad street conditions during the spring after constructions, and the only way to
insure good streets is to require the contractor to tamp mechanically.
The Village Clerk reported receipt of a petition against the improvement, signed
by property owners on Tingdale and Rolf Avenues between W.65th and W.66th Streets
and on W.66th Street between Wilryan and Tingdale Avenues; and Dr. Erling Hansen,
6526 Tingdale Ave.,
led a good sized delegation opposing construction on W.66th Street and North
thereof. Mr. Flesher stated he believes that the Normandale Second Addition
area should bear none of the cost of construction; that, if Brookview Heights
wants the sewer it should dpay for
Mr. Bredesen told the audience that, because of the Engineer's explanation, the
Council feels that the trunk connection charge should be made for the entire area,
even though it is decided to eliminate some of the laterals in accordance with
the owners' request. lib. Bredesen then asked if there was anyone present in favor
of construction of sewer North of W.66th Street. No one spoke in favor; and Fronk
offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption: .

PUBLIC HEARIEG ON PROPOSED TRUNK AND LATERAL WATERMAIN IMPROVEMENT FOR PART OF NORMAN-
DALE SECOND ADDITION was called, pursuant to "Notice of Public Hearing", published in
Edina-Morningside Courier May 30 and June 6, 1957. Affidavit of Publication was read
by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file. Engineer Zikan showed a Vu-Graph Slide of the proposed improvementl; and his Estimate of Cost was given as
$5.96 per Assessable Front Foot for the Lateral and $.74 for the Trunk, making a
total of $6.70 per Front Foot for those properties receiving Lateral Service.
It was explained that petitions for watermain have been received from properjy
owners on Tingdale Avenue between W.63rd and W.65th Sts. and on Wilryan Ave.
between Z"d63rd and IV.64th Sts.; that it is known that when the area is fully built
up a 10" Trunk Main will be needed to maintain pressure; that it is more economical
for all.concerned to construct the 10" main, now, together with all the laterals,
than it will be to construct the system piecemeal; that construction of the system
will bring down fire insurance rates and thus effect a savings to property owners.
Mr. Zikan recommended the proposed project as the most economical, efficient type
of construction, but stated that petitioners can be served, now, without the 66th
Street Trunk main, by construction of cross-street mains on W.63rd St. between
Wilryan and Tingdale Avenues and on W.65th Street between Tingdale and Rolf Avenues,
at an Estimated Cost of $6.38 per Assessable Foot for the Lateral Service only.
Petitions against conStruction in Josephine Ave'nue between 63rd and 64th Sts., and
in Mildred Avenue between 64th and 65th Sts. were filed; and J4.r. I.. Joseph FLesher,
Jr.,6541 Tingdale Avenue--who stated he was speaking for the owners of residences
on Tingdale, Rolf and Wilryan Avenues .betvreenlbSth and 66th Sts-said all owners

area for the next 25 years.

Further discussion was had, with Council and aanager Hyde pointing out the advantages
of constructing the proposed improvement, now--decrease in fire insurance rates,
economical construction, and the opportunity of connecting to village water when
needed; the Council informing the audience that it is the consensus of the Council's
opinion, that, if the trunk main project is abandoned now, the properties which do
not have lateral service should bear the entire cost of the trunk main at the time
it constructed--but objectors remained adamant, stating they have wells and do
not need the Village service. Trustee Bank, in offering the following the-faihwing
Resolution, stated that the Council wishes to go on record as having informed those
present that abandonment of the project as planned, and necessary construction of
the trunk main at a later date, will mean considerable more expense to them than the
abandoned plan; that Engineer and Council do not recommend as economical or of
general public benefit the construction dpproved in this Resolution; that approval
is given for the benefit of those petitioning for, desiring and needing water
service at once:

Clerk presented Petition Against Rezoning, signed by owners of some 30 residences
in Southdale residential area; and Mr. MOR. Raskin, 4224 tV.70th Street, objected
verbally, stating that one does not have to be a real estate man to realize that
such rezoning will eventually bring cheaper homes to the area and that these
cheaper homes will not enhance the value of one's property.
Mr. C.M. Carlson, 6921 Dawson Lane, was that he purchased 'kesidential" property
and does not want encroachment by commercial interests.

opposing contingent , "Why would commercial on W.70th Street benefit us?" Mr,
Stow explained that it would benefit the tax structure; going on to explain
that, because of the location of the-plat--with Southdale Shopping Center and
"regional shopping district" zoned property to the North and Northeast, a
gravel pit to the East and another to the South--it would be next to impossible
to expect anyone to build a private dwelling on the corner of E'J.7Oth Street and
France Avenue.
''regional shopping center" zoning East of Valley View Road and North of W.70th
Street, and asked what they could do to have this property zoned back to "Open
Development District". They were informed that this zoning had been in effect
for some years; that payment of damages would be necessary if Council were to
take any restrictive action on zoning, now. Mayor Bredesen told the audience
that the Council and the Planning Commission have realized for some time that
the land under discussion would be difficult to use, that the developer has had
several discussions with both bodies concerning its possible useage; that the
result presented here is She best seen by either board to date, with its
buffers of double dwellings and apartment courts preventing "strip" zoning on
both Vi.70th Street and France Avenue; that the Council and htr. Stow will both
welcome constructive ideas about land useage. 1.k. Stow told the audience that
a gasoline filling station is planned for the corner of 70th and France; that
he feels that "neighborhood stores" would be,worthwhile for the East 1/2 of
Block 2. The audience's greatest objection seemed to belkhe rezoning of part
of Block 2; and Ak. Stow volunteered to substitute apartment court for the
propo'sed rezoning in Bloak 2; with possibly--but no promise given-an additional
apartment on the South 1/2 of Block 1. 14r. hl. B. Skyberg, 4221 Dunberry Lane,
stated that, in his opinion, anyone who is willing to take the chance of putting
in the enormous investment necessary to plat this property is going to enhance
both its value and the value of the community; that the developer is offering
the community a wonderful service; and hlr. R.A. Bandberg, 6941 Cornelia Drive,
agreed that the plan is good, but hoped that further commercial development
would be prohibited.
an ordinance granting the petition to rezone Block 1 for Community Store, and
the East 190 Ft. of Block 2 and all of Block 9 for multiple dwellings, was
seconded by Fronk and unanimously carried. Mayor Bredesen told the audience
that, because of the change set forth tonight in the proposed zoning of the
East 190 Ft. of Block 2, there may have to be another Public Hearing on this
particular matter, before an ordinance can be adopted.

is $.02434 per Assessable Square Foot--the Assessment District to be the same as
that outlined at the Hearing on the Improvement-compared with $.0349 per Assess-
able Square Foot, which was given at the Improvement Hearing as the Estimated
Cost. Mr. Vi. A. Reddig, owner of Lot 1, Block 2, Nomandale Court, protested
to the method of assessment, feeling that the assessable area should have been
enlarged. Mr. Pitt, 5208 Normandale Court, stated he would accept his portion
of the assessment without argument, but that in his opinion the allocation of
costs is extremely inequitable. Mayor Bredesen told the audience that the Council
has followed its usual procedure--that of assessing that part of the property
which lies in the drainage district-that it is commonly presumed that storm
sewer benefit accrues to high property as well as to lovr land because surface
waters on the high lands drain off, causing troubles for the low properties.
One owner inquired about the street--North Normandale Court--stating that the
manhole is higher than the street and the hydrant is lower. He vras informed
that immediate investigation would be made and street would be fixed.

filing of large numbers of small plats; and Nr. Nordby stated he is willing to
have Planning Commission and Council follow its usual procedure of inspecting
the dimensions of the proposed subdivisions, etc., but that the costs of

that Thorpe Bros. has sold Lot 6, Block 5, Southdale Third Addition--over which the
Village has a full-lot easement for storm sewer purposes--and that the new owner
wants to build. He stated that the Village need not use the entire lot but that
he would recommend the retention of a ten-foot easement along one side of the lot.
Some discussion was had on the propriety of the realtor's selling such a tract;
and it was the consensus of opinion of the Council that release of the easement
should mean no expenditure of Village funds.

that the drainage ditch cannot be filled.

full cost of release and of new easement, was seconded by Bank and carried.
Manager Hyde was asked to write Thorpe Bros. and inform them that the Village

arrangement is made for drainage in this plat.
