Trustee Tupa asked for clarification of a statement that Parks Director French had agreed that there would be no need for park land in this area. Upon inquiry, Mr. French reviewed for the council the matter of the dedication of part of Cornelia Park, which dedication was 'sufficient to meet the requirements for park dedication for all holdings by the Southdale interests. Mr. French stated that in view of the fact that the required area dedication had been met, the only thing that the Park Board can do is to "strongly urge" that private play areas be provided for the apartment development.

He stated he feels that play areas are a requisite in this type of development.

He told the audience that, based on bids and on eliminating those Lateral Sewers as requested at the last meeting, the best Estimate of cost is $588 per lot for the Laterals, or Lateral Connections to the District Sewer; and $280 per lot for the District Sewer. Mr. Leonard Gebo supported the petition filed at the last meeting, objecting to sewer in Schaefer Road North of the South 1/2 of westwood Court and on the North 1/2 of t”Jestwood Court. He maintained that this sewer should drain North, rather than into the Nine-Mile creek Trunk; and that therefore, this area--proposed to be assessed in the present Trunk District-should be excluded therefrom. Jones again objected to the District Sewer’s being laid in Eden Prairie Road, for the reason that he owns some 1300 feet along the street and the cost will be a hardship to him. ,Mr. Robert Short, new OWN on Pine Grove Road, stated he has no objection to asxsmenz ehe District Sewer but that he objects to any proposed lateral for his property; then, later in the evening, htr. Short asked if his property could not be excluded from the District Sewer area. informed that, unlike the area abutting Schaefer Road, the area abutting Blake Road could not be drained to the North and must be served by the presently planned District sewer and must therefor be assessed for it.
