A large map of the route and district proposed to be assessed was shown to an audience of about 150 persons; and Ki. Adolph ]?eyer, Consulting Engineer for the proposed project, explained the proposed project in detail. He stated that the purpose of the proposed storm sewer is to provide an outlet for the '*excess runoff" which is caused by the construction of streets and structures in farmland; that the proposed project ail1 drain some 700 aqA%fi or more; that it will provide ten to twelve percent more protection/is customarily provided in Ninneapolis; that _the project is ,pl.apned to utilize Lake Cornelia as -a temporary storage 'basin, which will act as a buffer -I and decrease the cost of the project. 13. LIeyer reported that the "natural high water mark" of Lake Cornelia is 863$, although the lake has not been that high for a number of years; that his recormendation €or a dt -control level for the lake would be 859.; that works would be built at the Lake's outlet so that as soon as the lake reached the cdntrd, . level the water would flow over a wier, and into the trunk outlet to Nine- IAile Creek. sewer into the pond North of Lake Cornelia and thence into Minnehaha Creek; that, because the level of the pond is higher than that of Lake Cornelia it is not feasible to drain Lake Cornelia to the north--that the most economical way is to drain it to the south. planned for ultimate service to a great area; that the excess runoff must go somewhere; that lateral sewers have been provided in the areas which are in immediate need, with the trunk of a capacity to serve both present and future laterals. composed of part of Koodhill, a section of South Garden Estates, and part of the block north of 70th between Creston Road and Nooddale Avenue, which must be served by a line along Y!.70th Street across Highway #lo0 and then emptying into Nine-Llile Creek. as outlined in written notice, as follows: Area 1. - South third of Roodhill, that section of South Garden Estates currently being developed, and part of the block north of Z'1.70th Street between Creston Road and :'boddale Avenue - s.034 per Square Foot for the 5'1.70th St. line; nothing for proposed Trunk Sewer. the Trunk Sewer, area, plus most af the undeveloped portion of South Garden Estates - S.019 per Square Foot for Lateral Storm Servers (in addition to assessment for Trunk). Ur. Hyde explained that the area West of Normandale Road, South of Valley View Road and North of K.6Gth Street can be served by a storm sewer running Ylest from the area to Nine-Xile Creek; that if this area elects to be served in this manner . rather than by the presently planned Trunk, the assessable trunk cost to the balance of the area will be increased by slightly more than $.01 per square foot. OBJECTTOXS were raised 'by: on the grounds that Creston Hills "is a plateau with a rim around it" and does not contribute to the drainage problem. ?*ha D. L.

A number of questions were asked by the Council, concerning both the need for this type of intersection and its cost compared with that of the formerly proposed cloverleaf. Mr. Hyde suggested that the proposed plan be publicized in order that residents might become informed of it, and that the State Highway Department be asked to have one of its officials present at the Council Meeting of September 9th, to explain the plan in detail.

Tupa's motion DIRECTIONAL FLON INTERSECTION AT W.63RD STREET AND HIGHWAY NO. 100. Mayor Fro Tem Fronk introduced Mr. E. J. McCubrey, District Engineer, Minnesota Highway Department, who explained the proposed plan in some detail. Mr. McCubrey told the large audience that the plan now being presented to the Council is a "Preliminary or General Plan of Proposed Directional Flow Intersection'"; that it is customary for the Highway Department to present such a preliminary plan to municipalities for their consideration before going ahead with expenditures for detailed construction plans. He stated that the plan has been designed to accommodate traffic estimated for 1975; that highway construction is aimed at this goal so that it will be unnedessary to enlarge highways between now and then. "directional flow" intersection differs from the "cloverleaf" in that traffic wishing to turn left actually does turn left in the "directional flow", whereas on a "cloverleaf" traffic must go to the right in order to turn left. He stated that the directional flow is the modern type of intersection; that there are a number throughout the country, now, although he cannot think of one in Minnesota; that this type of intersection is much easier for traffic to negotiate than the cloverleaf; that the Highway Department staff feels this is the type of intersection which the State must have at this location within the next fifteen years. Mr. McCubrey stated that the area necessary for a directional flow intersection is about the same as that required for a cloverleaf. he was requesting Village Council approval so that the State may proceed with detailed design, which will go along with the complete design of Normandale Road from W.48th Street to W.79th Street. Mr. Fronk, in opening the meeting to questions from the floor, asked Vi. McCubrey just what he considers to be the additional expense of constructing an intersection of the directional flow type, over that of a conventional cloverleaf. the directional flow will cost about 1/3 more than the cloverleaf. Bronk then asked, "AS I understand it, the amount of land required for a directional flow intersection does not exceed the amount of land required for a cloverleaf, except that the land to be acquired would be in a different direction. Is that right?" Mr. McCubrey answered, "Practically right , yes. Because in the cloverleaf we must take land outside the legs." Kr. Fronk then asked Mr. McCubrey to explain to the audience "what the.xost of the He told the audience that the He stated that in presenting this plan wn-this evening Mr. McCubrey answered that his "wild guess" would be that Mr. intersection will be Mr. MqCubrey,,answered that, to the best of his fto the Village.
