that blacktop will send water into the catchbasins better than it runs now. Mr.

3. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED VACATION OF YORG AVENUE BETWEEN W.66TH AND lr'J.68TH
STREETS. Southdale Realty Company representatives Crabb and Braddock supported
the Company's petition for this platted but "unused" street. A delegation of
Xerxes Avenue residents, led by Mr. Streit, 6612 Xerxes, protested the Vacation
on the grounds that the Company intends to use the right-of-way for the site for
a building, and that if York is closed a service drive can be built directly
behind the Xerxes Avenue properties. Mr. Crabb stated the Company dislikes to
make plans for any building until it knows that the street will be vacated.
One of the Ymxk Xerxes Avenue delegation asked that the delegation go on record
as vigorously objecting to the Company's building a warehouse_or drive-in
restaurant at the site. It was pointed out by the Council that construction
of a building within the Shopping Center District for any useage which meets
Shopping Center District zoning requirements is difficult to prohibit. Trustee
Bank suggested that matter of street vacation be delayed until Council has a
fairly crystalized .idea about what is proposed for the site; and so moved.
Motion seconded by Dickson and carried.

CONTINUATION OF MARCH 24TH PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED 12" TRUNK WATERMAIN AbJD
LATERAL CONNECTIONS THERETO.
the Meeting of March 24; at which time several objections to the proposed
improvement were filed, largely on the grounds that assessment for lateral
connections to the proposed trunk main will cause considerable hardship to
property owners abutting the trunk line. He reviewed the original Estimate of
Cost, which was $.58 per front foot for Platted Property and $124 per acre for
unplatted property for the Trunk Assessment Only; plus $5.00 per front foot
additional for property fronting on the Trunk and using Trunk as a Lateral.
Mr. Hyde suggested that, in line with sentiments expressed at the March 24th
Meeting, the entire cost of the project--Trunk Main and Lateral connections
Thereto-be assessed over the entire trunk district (eliminating from the
district the unplatted area abutting Dewey Hill Road, and Prospect Hills 2nd
Addition, which can be served at a later date from a trunk main to the South
of the present project).
the cost per front foot to an Estimated $.97 for platted property, with a 150-
foot maximum, and $223.00 per acre--to be assessed over a 20-year basis.
at the time any property abutting the trunk main connected to it a connection
charge would be made, at about $5,00 per front foot; this money would be held
in escrow, and, appropriate refunds would be made, or assessments cancelled,
for the trunk assessment, at the end of the assessment period, At Mr. Hyde's
request for an opinion, Attorney Windhorst stated that future "connection
charges" must be paid in cash--cannot be assessed.
against the proposed improvement, signed by all owners abutting Dewey Hill
Road on the North, was submitted; as were petitions in favor of the improvement,
received since the March 24th Meeting, signed by H.R. Rosendahl for some 34 acres;
Roy H. Peterson, for 33 acres; H,R. Burton, for 58 acres. Two residents of
Prospect Hills 2nd Addition added their protests against being included in
the assessment district, and Mr. Hyde recommended again that the Dewey Hill
acreage, and Prospect Hills 2nd Addjtion be eliminated from the proposed
district.

the Council that, because original petitions were signed before Council had
determined to assess on a "per connection" rather than a "per assessable foot"
basis for underground utilities, the original Estimates of Cost had been made
on a "per assessable foot" basis, being $7.28 per foot for the Sewer (Total,
$131,799.20) and $6-58 per foot for the water (Total, $97,246.20). He stated
that, because of contour platting, he feels there is real justification for
an assessment on a "per connection" basis for this area; also, that bids this
morning were considerably lower than Estimate, reducing the estimated per foot
cost to $5.46 in both cases, or $595.34 per connection (lot) in the case of
the sewer, and $556.52 for water; all for utilities to be constructed as stated
in the Notice of Hearing.

considerable justification for assessment on a "per connection" basis; that the
Sewer Petition asked for this type of assessment, but that the earlier Watermain
Petition did not, He explained that on the basis of bids taken this morning,
the Engineer's Estimate can be reduced from $1,332.50 per connection (lot) to
$1281.13; and that, again, bids taken this morning are some 4% below Estimate
for Watermain Improvements--which were $155.69 per lot for the Trunk Watermain
Improvement (all lots and tracts of land in the district set forth in the Notice

.connections to the trunk main are proposed to be provided, and for all lots
abutting the proposed lateral watermains.

for sewer service. He gave as the Revised Estimate of Cost, based on bids taken today,

connection to sub-trunk and lateral sewer. Proposed improvement was outlined in detail

Eden Prairie Road from Blake Road to Highway No. 169-212, and Parkwood Road from
Blake Road to Schaefer Road; and Lateral Sewers proposed as set forth in Notice
of Hearing. Dr. Ed. Evans objected to stopping construction at Lot 44, Auditor's
Subdivision No. 325. He asked that it be extended to Lot 43. Mr. Zikan explained
that the grade break comes at about this point; that from Lot 44 North, it is
cheaper to drain North.
single area in the district which needs sewer--that all the lots are big enough
to take cesspools without any detriment to health. A delegation from Jeffrey
Lane explained that houses in this area were constructed with "temporary
cesspools" and that they now need sewer badly. Mr. Leonard Gebo, Westwood Court
objected to both the sub-trunk sewer and the proposed Lateral for Westwood court.
Later in the evening, he presented a petition signed by some 12 property owners,
dn VJestwood Court, Schaefer Road and Blake Road, objecting to being included in
either sub-trunk or lateral improvement. Mr. John Hartman, 5324 South Blake
Road objected to the proposed Blake Road line; Mr. D.D. Ryerse, 6220 South Knoll
Drive led a delegation objecting to sewer for either South Knoll or Knoll Drive;
and Mr. Lewis Jones objected to the sub-trunk on Old Bden Prairie Roa .:or the
reason that he owns frontage along the entire street and assessments f IP lateral

to Kaymar Drive, where there may be some demand for sewer service. One gentleman
on Parkwood Road objected quite vigorously to the sub-trunk's running in this
street; then, later in the evening, Mr. Harold Larson explained that seven houses
on this street do need sewer. Mr. D.P. Poboisk, 6025 Kaymar Drive, objected to
Mr. Jones' suggestion for moving the sub-trunk in case this should prove to be
more expensive. It soom became apparent that there could be no "meeting of the
minds" on the matter of sub-trunks, and Manager Hyde suggested that a roll be
taken of the persons present, to see what the prevailing opinion might be on
laterals, so that Engineering Department might review proposed installation as
to sub-trunks with view toward making any changes which might be practical.
