on grounds that he does not wish to pay for the improvement at this time, when
other assessments are still heavy; and Mr. Henshaw, V5228, objected on the
grounds that traffic will be routed onto Maddox Lane when the Crosstotm Highway

by BIr. Potter, low bidder, it is apparent that many of the jobs listed are as sub-
contractor, and the Village has had the experience that new and inexperienced
contractors cost the Village more time in inspection and field expenses. EIr. Hyde
told the Council that because of the small difference in the base bids of the 101-7

and the other factors stated above, he is recommending award of contractax to second-

LARKSPUR LABE FRONTAGE TO PAY FOR SAN ITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN.
This Preliminary Plat, of the Gavin property at the Southeast Corner of IJ.70th
Street and Normandale Road, was reviewed at some length, being somewhat involved
5.7ith the matter of assessments for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements in
Larkspur Lane, which abuts the proposed plat on the South.
some years ago, when Lake Edina Addition was platted, Mr. Gavin was unwilling to
dedicate a portion of his land for Larkspur Lane; and that, therefore, that
portion of his property abutting Larkspur Lane was not assessed for either
Sanitary Lateral Sewer or Watermain improvements; that Lake Edina Addition was
assessed for the full cost of these improvements. Mr. E. C. Stow, developer of
Lake Edina Addition, protested Mr. Gavin's getting his utilities free. Mr. Gavin,
telling the Council he is platting his property now only because the taxes thereon
have made it impossible for him to keep the property, stated he understood that
at the kime he developed the property there would be some assessments for the
improvements on Larkspur Lane; and Council agreed that such charges are only
fair and equitable, and should be made.
