reported that drainage does pocket.at the dead-end and that the ultimate solution
will be to drain it to the crosstown or its service drive, together with drainage
from York and Zenith Avenues; also, that there is no sanitary sewer at the South
end of the street. He recommended that curb and gutter be constructed at this time
in only the North portion of the street, which drains toward 60th Street--that it
terminate at approximately 500 feet South of the centerline of W.6Oth Street.
petition was presented, asking that Curb and Gutter be abandoned and that Blacktopping
be substituted, bu.t Engineer Zikan informed Council and Audience that this would not
be good construction because the Blacktop will tend to deteriorate at the edges
without the curb and gutter. Considerable discussion was had, and, because
petitioners could not clearly define their wishes petition filed earlier this
evening was withdrawn.- KoB1'eh moved for continuance of Hearing until the next
meeting, to give petitioners more time to study the project.

proposed sub-trunk sewer, to serve the Parkwood Knolls-Valley Park Area, call for
the main to be laid in this proposed Blake Road Extension; but that no laterals
are planned for the "Jones" side of the street; that the Jones property must be
assessed for its share of the sub-trunk, regardless of the street dedication, but
that there would be no lateral assessment for this utility. (The sub-trunk is
being planned for ultimate service to large area, of which the Jones property is
a part, and this area would be assessed for sewer whether the main is laid in
Eden Prair2e Road, or on any other street in the area). It was noted that
developer Carl M. Hanson will gain some lots by the proposed Vacation, and he was
queried about paying for thB trunk main in the South extension of Blake Road. He
stated that he will Sbuild the road"--will fill it, and will blacktop it if the
County does not see fit to do so, and will accept lateral charges for the "Hanson"
side of the street, but that he feels it unfair to ask him to pay for the trunk
sewer. Bank offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption--Vacation
being subject to the following stipulations:
1. Agreement between Mr. Carl M. Hansen and the Village whereby Idr. Hanson
will fill to grade the South Extension of Blake Road to U.S. Highway No. 169, and
wilL either blacktop it himself, under Village specifications,or will pay for
blacktopping by the Village.
understanding that the Village will hold him free of assessment for construction
of the street except for an "areal' assessment for the proposed sub-trunk sewer and
except for lateral assessments for said sewer, should his property be platted to
face said Blake Road Extension (and like assessments for trunk and lateral water-
mains, should they be constructed in Blake Road Extension at some future date).

he is paying twice as much for the services as are some of his neighbors. He told
the Council he feels that some of his neighbors share his opinion that his assess-
ments are unfair. Matter of public hearings on the assessments was reviewed, and

"CROSSTO$dN HIGHWAY" RESOLUTIONS FILED BY EDINA CIVIC AND IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.
The following two Resolutions, adopted by the Board of Directors of the Edina Civic
and Improvement Association at a meeting held February 25, 1958, were read:
#l - "That for the "Long Range Plan", anything less than a vehicle
and pedestrian underpass or overpass in the vicinity of Wooddale
Avenue and Crosstown Highway to provide safe ingress and egress
to and from the Edina Swimming Pool, will be unacceptable."
#2 - "Because of the proposed dead ending of Valley View Road at
Normandale Avenue we request that the Village council give
consideration to the rerouting of the eastern portion of
Valley View Road in such a way that it will be joined with
France Avenue and thus eliminate the necessity of a grade
separation at Crosstown Highw&y".
Mr. C. C. Volk, owner of Lots 12 and 13, Block 2, Peacedale Acres (Northwest corner
of proposed Crosstown-Valley View intersection) stated that he is vitally interested
in the Council's action on this second resolution; that, to date, nobody seems to
