PUBLIC HEARINGS ON PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS.
April 7 and 14, 1960, in Edina-Morningside Courier, of "Notice of Public Hearings on
Bituminous Surface Treatment, Grading and Graveling, Sanitary Sewer and Watermain
Improvements'1. Affidavit was approved as to form and ordered placed on file; and,
pursuant to Notice, the following Public Hearings were conducted, and action was
taken as hereinafter recorded.
1. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF 8ITUMINOUS SURFACE TREATMENT
IN W.49TH ST., WESTBROOK LANE TO PUJGJANA LANE,
per assessable foot, being revised from the $4.96 originally estimated, because of
bids taken yesterday on this same type of work. Mr. Robert Soelberg, 5105 N.49th St.,
asked about aid from the General Fund in surfacing Pulwana Lane, and W.49th St.
from Pukwana Lane across tracks to Brookside; and on the East end of block, from
I.7estbrookc Lane to Highway No. 169 service drive.
surfacing of this one black, in the middle of two unsurfaced entrances, is not
good planning, and reminded Council that general fund aid has been had in other
circumstances. Mayor Bredesen told him that general fund moneys have been used
on streets of specially heavy traffic; that it is his opinion that the traffic,
at this point, will not be sufficient to warrant anything but an assessment
project. Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson, 4840 Westbrook Lane, protestea the petition
for this short street, but stated they are in favor of oil. Mr. Jarnberg of the
Brltmore Apartments asked for permanent surfacing, and Mr. T.D. McKenznie requested
surfacing all the way to Brookside Avenue. Mr. Soelberg told Council he would be
in favor of both curb and gutter and blacktop all the way, but there was no other
evidence of interest in curb and gutter. It was suggested by Manager Hyde that
one compromise might be to permanently surface that portion of the street
petitioned for, and to oil both entrances with a'-heavy coat of oil. Some
suggestion was made that the railroad company be assessed for surfacing of the
portion over the tracks, but it was thought it would be difficult to prove
benefit. By common consent of Council Public Hearing was continued to Monday,
May 9, for investigation

3. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF BITUMINOUS SURFACE TREATMENT
IN &IAN< TERRACE uKIVJ3 FROM VALLEY VIEW ROAD, TO AND INCLUDING TURN-AROUND. Estimate
of Cost, $4.59 per assessable foot, was revised to $4.04. Mr. R. F. Beedee, bY20,
asked for a temporary improvemznt, rather than permanent surfacing.
Council that the turn-around easement abutting his property is only a temporary
one; that when the 25-acre tract directly to the south is platted, Mark Terrace
Drive will be the entrance to it and the turn-around will be abandoned; that, if
turn-around is blacktopped, now, he and his neighbor across the street will be
forced to dig up the blacktopping upon abandonment of easement.
that there is neither sewer nor water in the street; that, while it would seem to
be some time before sewer will be available the water trunk is not very far away
right now. That, too, without curb and gutter, the south end of the roadway will
be washed away. Mr. Beedee asked that, if this improvement should be approved
over his objections, the turn-around be kept to as narrow a radius as possible.
To Mr, Zitan's reply, that Village maintenance equipment must use the turn-around,
he told Council that his driveway could be used by Village crews, thus eliminating
necessity of large radius. Mr. C.E. Edstrom,#6913, stated he does not feel that
this is the time for permanent surfacing, but that he would like to see some dust
coating. Inquiries were made to Engineer Zikan about Curb and Gutter, and he told
the group that it is not needed, because the water is carried away to the south;
however, there seemed to be some considerable sentiment for it, and, upon a show-
of-hands vote there were eight for curb and gutter and one against.

carried. (See Resolution of later in evening, ordering improvement). Kohler then

is questionable.

Village water, and query was made of those present about having water installed
before the Blacktopping. Nr. R. B. Swartwood, $5504, stated that water is no
problem--that property owners have good, deep wells and large lots; that they do
not want water. Pursuant to petitioners' request for a safer entrance to Chantrey
Road from Highway #169, Mr. Zikan advised them he had received word, now, from the
State Highway Department that the Department will not permit a deceleration lane
coming west on a169 and then into Chantrey Road; that a larger radius at Chantrey
road will be permitted but that the Department will not tell us, now, just how
much larger it can be; that the Department will not share the cost of blacktopping
the new entrance, but will extend the culvert and will put in fill. Nr. Zikan
stated he feels that the cost of the larger radius will be a nominal addition to
estimated cost given above.

work.

that petition is for Blacktop only, but that because of the flat grade the engineering
department is recommending curb and gutter2 bSr. D. J. Saigh,#4409, objected to the
curb and gutter, pointing out that neither Oaklavm Avenue nor Point Drive have curb
and gutter at their intersections with Dunberry. Mr. Ira Hart stated he feels that
property owners will t7ant to protect their investment in Blacktopping if they
possibly can. Some discussion was had with regard to drainage, and one gentleman
asked that profiles be presented at the next council meeting, so that owners might
be aware just how the water does flow. Mr. Zikan pointed out that the curb and
gutter portion of the improvement had not been officially advertised; and Tupat
moved that the Public Hearing on Bituminous Surface Treatment be continued to llonday,

Peacedale Avenue will tie in to the proposed county grade at the present timeL
that the county has very recently effected some changes in its plans, which Mr.
Zikan has not even seen. One property wner suggested delaying the grading job
until the street can be blacktopped, but it was the concensus of Council's opinion
that it would be to the public interest to have the street passable before blacktop
could be done. Engineer Zikan left the meeting with Mr. Hoppe, to show him the
proposed grade; and, after he had come back without Mr. Hoppe, Beim moved for
approval of grading and graveling project.

Messrs. John Brost and Robert C. Prey, #S521 and 5517 Doncaster Way, protested

from the majority of the property owners on the street.
the matter of looping the main is vital to circulation and pressure; however,
they maintained that they are being charged an excessive cost for the extension
of the main under Highway No. 169 to serve Goya Lane. It was noted that the
school property is to be assessed, and Mr. Don Prior told Council the school is
concerned about two things--1. the location of the line through school property;
and 2. the amount of the assessment to be borne for the improvement. He said
the school does not need the main, but does like the fire protection-and resultant .
decrease in insurance rate. The Doncaster Way contingent suggested that the
proposed watermain improvement be restudied, with an idea to either making a tie
to Goya Lane from the north side of Highway #169, or with the idea of allowing the
developer of Danijohn Addition to plat without village water service, inasmuch
as sewer service can be brought in. It was pointed out that this connection north
of 8169 would be most expensive because there are so few properties to assess.
Mr. Geisselbeck, owner of property on Johnson Lane, then suggested that Council
study the possibility of looping the watermain on Johnson Lane back to Tracy Avenue
south of the Highway; and, again, he was informed that such a project will be
expensive. At that time Mr. Granger, 5533 Highway B169, suggested that sewer
service will be cheaper to the residents south of #169 if a a169 crossing is not
laid, and he asked that the north part of the sewer jfiQa$en@t&r eliminated or
considered a separate project.
