MIhKJTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE EDINA VILLAGE
COUNCIL, HELD MONDAY, JUNE 23, 1958, AT ROO P.M.,
AT THE EDINA VILLAGE HALL
Members answering Rollcall were Bank, Dickson, Kohler, Tupa and Bredesen.
PUBLIC HEARINGS ON PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS :
VIEW TERRACE AREA, and the HEARING, CALLED ON COUNCIL'S OWN MOTION, ON PROPOSED
CURB AND GUTTER AND BLACKTOPPING 114 WEST 60TH STREET; the proposed Curb and Gutter to be constructed from Kellogg Avenue to Oaklawn Avenue, and the proposed Blacktop
being constructed from Wooddale Avenue to Oaklawn Avenue.
of "Notice of Hearing", published in Edina-Morningside Courier June 12 and 19,
1958, was presented, approved as to form, and ordered placed on file--this being
for the Curb and Gutter-Blacktopping Hearing.
Manager Hyde, in explaining relative costs, stated that the Hearing on
Curb and Gutter-Blacktopping has been called pursuant to a suggestion made from
the audience at the Storm sewer Hearing on May 26, that W.6Oth Street from
Wooddale to Kellogg Avenue, could handle drainage run-Off as well without a
storm sewer as with a storm sewer, providing this street could be curb-and-
guttered and blacktopped, and that the cost of this construction would be
less expensive.
Construction Cost of Underground Storm Sewer from Wooddale to Oaklawn Avenue
is estimated to be $5,260.00.
between Wooddale and Oaklawn Avenues is $2,783.00; Additional and oversize
catch basins necessary to take the water from the blacktopped streets, $l,OOO.OO;
Curb and Gutter from Kellogg Avenue to Oaklawn Avenue, $1,419.00; Totalling
$5,202.00. He also informed the council that Curb and Gutter has already been
installed between Wooddale and Kellogg on Vi.6Oth Street, at the expense of the
abutting properties, on an assessment of $1,632.00, or $3.08 per Assessable
Foot. Manager Hyde, explaining that substitttion of Curb and Gutter-Blacktop
on W.6Oth Street from VJooddale to Oaklawn, for a proposed underground storm
sewer, benefits properties abutting W.60th Street a great deal more than it
benefits non-abutting properties, recommended that the full cost of the proposed
curb and gutter be assessed against abutting properties, and that 1/2 the cost of
the Blacktopping be so assessed; that the balance of the Blacktopping be considered
a part of the storm sewer roject and assessed against the entire drainage area,
with the Village paying 13 P of the assessable storm sewer project. Costs on this
basis would be $39,250 Total Assessable, less 1/3 Village-Share, $13,345; or a
Net Assessment to the drainage district outside Pamela Park, $25,905.00, as
against 1,185,951 square feet, for $.0218 per square foot for the Storm Sewer.
For Curb and Gutter and Blacktopping on W.6Oth Street, abutting properties would
be assessed $3.08 per assessable foot for the Curb and Gutter; $1.50 per assessable
foot for the Blacktopping,
1.
Answer was that, although abutting properties benefit to a greater extent than
the drainage district by construction of blacktopping along \V*60th Street, the
Blacktopping is also being used to conduct the water to the catch basins.
2. Mr. Erick Bjorkman,5825 Brookview, who maintained that Brookview's troubles
stemmed from the street grade, asked why builders are allowed to build so high
from the street.
so long as the dwelling is above street grade.
3.
W.58th and W.59th Street could not solve their own problem by constructing their
own, one-block storm sewer. He was informed that such a plan would be as expensive,
if not more so9 to the limited drainage area served, than the plan proposed tonight,
4. Question raised as to why sewer cannot go directly into park from IM.6Oth Street.
Mr. Brauer explained that this method would be more expensive than present plan,
and that it would not solve the Brookview problem; that the cost of supporting a
paved ditch, and of paving ditch for 1100 feet would be practically prohibitive.
5. Another qubstion was asked concerning feasibility of running water to the
South from !'/.60th Street, and Mr. Brauer answered that because of the hill and the
length of the run he believes this would be equally expensive, and that, once again,
it would not solve the problem on Brookview between 58th and 59th Streets.
At this time, being 7:30 PeM., the Storm Sewer Hearing and the Qurb and
Gutter-Blacktopping Hearings were recessed for ten minutes for action on bids on
$970,000 Improvement Bonds, as hereinafter recorded in these Minutes.
6. Upon resumption of Public Hearings, the question was asked as to whether the
swamp is sufficiently low to take the water; and Mr. Brauer explained that water
will stand in the drainage pipe, probably back as far as Brookview Avenue; that
the line has been designed for a "10-year storm", which is not the ultimate design
but which has proved sufficiently large to provide for run-off in all but the most
severe rains.
including the Blacktopping of W.6Oth Street between Wooddale and Oaklavrn Avenues,
with 1/2 Cost of said Blacktopping to be assessed against the Drainage District

stated that he does not consider curb and gutter on ~~~60th Street necessary; that
he doesn't want it; that his property is now worth all he could ever possibly get
for it in a sale. The obvious improvement to Mr* Uil1iams1 property resulting
from curb and gutter and blacktopping of ~h60th Street was pointed out to him,
but he disagreed that he, and the owners of the property abutting 1'].60th Street,

Review was had of May 26th Hearings, at which suggestion had been made that,
since most objections to proposed Project No. 1 (as set forth above) had come
from owners of properties North of Interlachen, an Estimate of Cost be made
for service to smaller area, with Lift Station.
Estimates made for Projects No. 1 and No. 2 above, being $1,021.24 per Lot,
and $1,171.84 per Lot, respectively; both these projects being estimated on
"gravity flow" construction. He stated that construction of a project as
outlined for the new hearing this evening would cost some $1,588 per lot
because of cost of high priced lift station.
project would eliminate all lots North of East-\vest Hollywood Road, also
eliminating the Hansen property immediately East of Skyline Drive but
serving the other Interlachen properties which want sewer, between Skyline
Drive and Oxford Avenue--this proposed Interlachen sewer flowing East to
Oxford Avenue, rather than West to Skyline Drive as originally planned.
A third alternate, including all property originally included in Project 1,
plus all the Interlachen property but the Hansen property, without lift
station but lowering the line sufficiently to serve the Interlachen property
by gravity, would bring the cost to $1,082.87 per lot for all properties
benefited. Audience was divided in its reaction to the proposed Alternates.
Mr. Morris Hansen, 5419 Interlachen Blvd., repeated his May 26th objections
against a sewer abutting his property. He explained he has lived on this
property for 50 years without a sewer., he doesn't need one, doesn't want
one, will not subdivide his property, and does not wish to be assessed for
sewer. F4rs. L.B. Smith, 5404 Interlachen Blvd., pleaded that some disposition
be made of the Interlachen portion of the sewer, whether or not the balance
of the project is approved, in order that Interlachen Blvd. might be repaired.
She was informed that, if the Oxford Avenue sewer is ordered in Interlachen
properties would be best served by the line running to Oxford, at $1,082 per
lot; that the line can be run West to Skyline at $1171 per lot. Mk. Puelston,
at 5344 Interlachen, speaking for himself and Mr. Flesch, 5340 Interlachen,
stated that while he and his neighbor do not need sewer now, they realize
that it must eventually come and consequently will not object to it; but that
they both do strenuously object to paying any extra cost for a lift station--
that they favor the $1,082 Albernate. Mr. Frank J. Warner, 5400 Interlachen
Blvd-, also spoke in favor of this Alternate.

It was noted that the new

objected to paying extra cost of lift station, and was reminded that he had
stated he would not mind paying some extra cost if Kr. Hansen could be saved
from being served. f.k. Frank Lanick, 4544 Oxford Avenue, explaining that he had asked for seaer several years ago, without result, objected to it, now,
because of cesspool adequate for his needs. Llessrs. A. V?. Anderson, 4537
Oxford, and A.H. Score, 4448 Vandervork, stated that the sewer is neither
needed nor wanted, PJorth of Interlachen Blvd.
explained that everybody on and around Hollywood Road has large lots, with
~ adequate cesspools and drainfields, and has no need for sewer. Mr. Paske,
4545 Oxford, stated that all of the property owners North of Hollywood Road
object to the sevGer; that they wish the Council to consider sewer for only
that part South of Interlachen Blvd.
the sewer petition, stated that the additional cost of the lift station makes
cost of service too high.
inasmuch as the people North of Interlachen Blvd. do not want the sewer and
the people South of Interlachen & want it, he believes it is unfair to ask
those North to invest $1,000 to accommodate those South, whereas, by an
additional investment of $588 per lot those who do want service could obtain
it without expense to those who do not. One gentleman from the 5100 Block
on Oxford stated he feels the high price is out of order for his block, because
this block is high and can drain either East to Bedford or West to Skyline
Drive, without the deep line needed for the intersection of Interlachen and
Oxford. l.k. Schmiti then inquired as to whether the cost of the proposed
"deep cut" cut be pro-rated, in order that the properties South of Interlachen
bear more per lot than those North, which could be served without said deep
cut.

He told the audience that the plan is to postpone Hearings to the nest regular

of Publication, and of Mailing, of "Notice of Hearing" were submitted, reviewed
and ordered placed on file. Manager Hyde explained that the property proposed
to be rezoned, here, is a tract, excluding the School District Property on the
corner, but immediately adjacent to the property hereinbefore rezoned to
Commercial District, and lying between the new Commercial District and Cahill
Road; that this Hearing had been called at the Council's own motion, the Council
feeling that "Community Store" useage is good useage for this tract in view of
the new residential development to the West and the North of the tract--Valley
Vista, The Heights, Chapel Hills, proposal for new school, and plans for
several new churches; that, by zoning now, future zoning problems can be
largely eliminated. h"rs. John Cameron, 5432 i!J.70th Street, wife of the
proprietor of Cahill Grocery, objected that the area needs no further
community store district. She cited the 50th and France business district and
Southdale Shopping Center, saying she believes they are sufficient to serve the
community. Idrs. Cameron stated that even by working 13 hours a day seven days
a week she and her husband find it difficult to earn a living in their grocery.
Mra Amundson, whose property is under consideration for rezoning, stated that
there is no intention of selling the land for some time; that this is his
mother's home and she wishes to continue to live in it. However, hks. Cameron
replied that as soon as the property is rezoned, "1'11 wake up some morning and
find a grocery store on it". Trustee Tupa suggested that perhaps the plan had
not been given sufficient consideration, and moved that proposed zoning be
tabled. Motion seconded by Dickson and carried.

asked for 10-year assessment on Sanitary Sewer and I'latermain utilities in his plat.
He explained that he had purchased this property in 1954, and, imrnediately thereafter,
had taken steps to get these improvements, but that they were not available €or his
property at that time. I.%.. Rosendahl, stating that his problem is "where to get
the money" to finance the improvements, stated that the banks will not finance
the small developer for such improvements; that if the Council carries out its
present policy small developers will be driven out of Edina, and large "project-
type" developers will use this policy as invitation to construct large, $12,000
to $15,000-type home developments such as are being built in Crystal, Fridley
and Richfield. Also, that in making such large, short-term assessments, the
Council is suggesting that builders use properties away from sanitary sewer and
water; and that this, in turn, creates the problem of the home owners' having to
pay twice for these utilities. !:I. Rosendahl stated he feels it is part of the
Village duty to finance utilities, thus promoting building and the placement of
additional assessable valuation on the tax rolls. He cited the "South Gardens
Estates" promotion, vhich, he stated, would have been an area of project homes
had the developer been required to finance utilities under present policy.
Rosendahl reported that he is speaking not only for himself, but for several
other small developers with vhom he has discussed the matter; that he would like
to specifically request that Edina Countryside be placed on the old basis of a
10-year assessment. (ISJote to Council: Preliminary Plat approved by Planning
