(See Minutes of April 25, 1960, Pages 61-63, this Book). Mayor Bredesen opened Public Hearing by saying he hopes that Hearing will be kept factual and will seme to provide those present with the information they seek.

Mr. McFadden answered that there were no such plans in his office. Asked by Mr.' Bredesen whether he had seen any plans for making Wooddale Avenue and Drexel Avenue one-way streets, Mr. McFadden againtanswered in the negative. audience that any plan for "municipal state aid streets" originates with the local governing body, Mr. McFadden stated he had recently had occasion to approve the revised State Aid system for St.Louis Park; that the only plan he has seen for Wooddale Avenue is Edina's plan for Wooddale south of 50th Street.

Then, at a statement from Mr. Reker that some of the Edina people had seen plans in the State Highway Department, showing Wooddale a "state aid" street to 44th St., Mr. McFadden asked Mr. Reker to state whether the delegation had seen %apsl' or "plans". Mr. Reker said "maps" had been seen, and Mr. McFadden stated that this is correct-- that Vooddale north to 44th St. is in the system, but that no plans for improvements are on file other than the one south of 50th St. St. to North Village Limits off State Aid, if it is so desired, said he believes the money can be-used to better advantage elsewhere.

He pointed out that to put in a sufficiently heavy surface to take care of phe traffic would cosF an amount prohibitive to the owners of the abutting residences, and that, on the other hand, residential-type surfacing would not hold up, and would have to be re-done in a few years, and in the meantime would have to be maintained.

Ballots show that 18 individual owners favor a 36-foot street; 27 are far a 30-foot street; three organizations favor a 36-foot street; none, a 30-foot street.

Mr. Schwhrtzkopf, 5837 Wooddale, objected to widening on grounds that if this stretch is widened it will be only a matter of time before the balance of Wooddale is also widened. representing 23 lots, against the proposed widening. Traffic count, which had been included in Manager Hyde's letter to property owners, was reviewed by Mr. Hyde for audience. He told them that the traffic on Wooddale from 50th street south funnels out in either direction to neighboring residential areas; that this is borne out in St.Louis Parkyawhere count is about 4,000 rehicles per day at Excelsior Blvd., and- about 2000 vehicles at 44th St. Mayor Bredesen reminded audience that in 1950 Edina's population was less than 10,000, now it is over 28,000 and that this naturally makes a difference in the traffic pattern. * Mr. Ernest Peterson, 5521 Wooddale, asked the Mayor if Council does not feel that there is a traffic hazard in not widening Wooddale south of Tower and Mr. Bredesen told him that on the basis of the traffic counts it is felt that this 2s not a serious hazard. state aid at $6.00 per foot, and leaving the street at 30 feet and paving at $12.00 per foot, is approximately $6.00 per foot, suggested that, if the affected property owners are willing to pay $12.00 per .front foot to leave the street at its 30-foot width he will be willing to recommend this, right now. Trustee Kohler added that if the street is to be left at its 30-foot width the Council is faced with the problem of finding the additional $6.00 per foot, or some $46,000; that audience should understand that there are no funds available at this time to provide this $46,000, and kthis means that Wooddale Avenue cannot be improved this year; and Mr. Dickson -feminded audience that the $46,000, if not state aid funds, must be an ad valorem tax for which everyone in the Village will Pay Mr. Headington asked about the costs to the Wooddale residents, and was told that besides the $6.50 for their road, the property owners north of 54th Street would assume additional costs for storm sewer, at the rate of some $.12 per square foot, if state aid is not used, compared with $.03 per square foot (approx.) under state aid.

Mr. Davenport, representing Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern Railroad Company, stated that while the Company does not like the proposed assessment, it is not sufficient to create any hardship. Street comprises both a traffic hazard and a railroad hazard, he asked the Council to Vacate W.49th Street from Brookside Avenue to the East line of the Railroad property. Some considerable discussion was had by the Council with the W.49th Street residents, during which time Messrs..Soelberg and Jarnberg both expressed themselves as being in favor of the Railroad suggestion. Mr. Soelberg asked, how- ever, that the Railroad be required to provide a cul-de-sac, by easement, to. provide room for Village maintenance equipment to turn around. Manager Hyde told audience, that, offhand, he could see no objection to the request, except that the area residents would be inconvenienced if they wished to shop in the Grandview shopping center. Mr, Soelberg, returning to the Hearing on proposed Blacktopping, asked about the increase in cost to property owners from the original estimate made for blacktopping from Pukwana Lane to Westbrook Lane. He was informed that this is because a stretch of property abutting the Highway No. 169 service drive cannot be assessed.

Gisselbeck, owner of the property to the East of Johnson Drive, protested the proposed "loop" from Johnson Drive to the Tracy Avenue Trunk Main. the Council that he expects to plat East of Johnson Drive in the near future and is required to pay for construction of the main as part of platting procedure, he asked that the proposed 'tloop" go.East on Highway No. 169 to his proposed street, rather than west to Tracy Avenue. grounds that Such plan does not c0nstitute.a "regulation" loop--that, while it is better than a dead-end main, there will be noocirculation back to the trunk line. He recommended against such construction. Mr. Gisselbeck staced that the savings would be some $35,000; that the property at this location does not warrant this extra expenditure. Some considerable discussion was had on ways.and means of a satisfactory improvement, and it was suggestkd-xthat a connection to the Trunk Hain be constructed in Warden Avenue between Johnson Drive and Tracy Avenue; it bein- understood that at the time the Gisselbeck roperty is platted, the devefoper will construct a "loop" in Highway No. f69 from Johnson Drlve to his neW plat, and will connect said new plat to the proposed \Jarden Avenue main.

He asked if Council could guarantee that these streets would not be used in this manner. told him that this Council could guarantee that there had been no thought on Council's part of so using the streets; that Council could not guarantee that the state would not take*possession of the streets for trunk highways, because state can take possession if it so wishes, but that he can guarantee that as long as he sits on the Council he will oppose making Wooddale a state road. for being confused wh& their engineering department says one thing and the Council says another.

Mr. Bill Sinnatt expressed himself as being concerned with traffic on his section of Wooddale, which has now been taken off the state aid program.

Mayor Bredesen agreed with Mr. Tupa that the Bridge Lane-Wooddake stop sign should stop Wooddale traffic rather than Bridge Lane traffic; and it was agreed that it should be so changed for a six months' trial, at Mr. Hyde's suggestion. Mr. Tupa then suggested installation of a stop sign somewhere between 50th and Valley View Road, so that people can get onto the street from their driveways and the side streets. Mayor Bredesen told audience that because there seems to be so much disagree- ment among the property owners affected by the proposed improvement, and some feeling that the Council is trying to shove something down property owners' throats, he is willing to abide by the recommendations of a citizens' committee of responsible . persons living away fromtlooddale Avenue. has already left Wooddale Avenue; that the bus runs on this.street, as well as some considerable traffic. to a 36-foot street; that they be forward-looking enough to admit that Edina is now a large town.

Mr. Ashenbrenner, 5817 Wooddale, asked what assurance could be given that the stretch-of Wooddale south of Tower is not going to be widened within the next six months or year or two years.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED CURB AND GUTTER IN INTERLACHEN CIRCLE. Manager Hyde told Council that the developer-has agreed to pay for the Bituminous Surface; that the Village Engineer has recommended construction of curb and gutter because of drainage problems4 that Estimated Cost of improvement is $5,769.75, proposed to be assessed against 1,801.78 front feet, for $3.20 per front foot, revised after receipt of bids on like projects to $2.85. Developer Victorsen protested, on the grounds that under his purchase agreement with Mr. Kaiser, original owner, Mr. Kaiser was protected against either watermain or curb and gutter's being constructed. Mr. Hyde told Council that curb and gutter is recommended because of the varied street grade, part of the street being a rather steep grade, and the south part being flat. told Council that the twelve new families in the Circle are all in accord on doing what is best for the Circle, but that many do.not want curb and gutter; that, after the heavy downpour of the last week it was evident that not one lawn had been affected; that he believes.the attractiveness of the Circle would suffer by curb and gutter installation. Mayor Bredesen, agreeing with Mr. Beall's statement about the aesthetics of curb and gutter, stated that . curb and gutter is advocated only to save the blacktop-which will tend to break up without it where there is poor drainage. Mr. Kaiser, original owner .of all the property +butting the Circle, and owner, still, of Lots 4 and 5, Block 2, stated.he objects because he feels that curb and gutter installation. will still further condense the small and compact area; that he does not want to "become citified!' again. Dr. Duryea, f5641, asking what type curb and gutter the Village expects to install, presented petition signed by seven property owners, asking for the %lop" type. the "slope" curb is not advocated-that sections ten or twelve feet long have been torn out in previous years by street maintenance crews during years of heavy snow. cost would be prohibitive. %e owners of Lots 5, 7 and 8, also objected to construction on grounds that traffic is not sufficiently heavy in this secluded area to break up the blacktop and that drainage from properties within the area will be.no problem. being in favor of the.project, stating he feels the road would stand up better because of it. He asked, however, that the slope type curb be used. Mr. Zikan told Council his recommendation is definitely for curb and gutter, that street maintenance costs will be materially reduced by it. Asked about drainage from Interlachen Blvd., Mr. Victorsen told group that this will be eliminated at the time he blacktops. Mr. Stone, B5601, told Council that{&. Victorsen will blacktop up to the lawns; and one of the owners made the suggestion that "inasmuch as it is up to the owners to anyway, was had in the Council, and Mr. Bredesen told the group that while the Council .feels that Mr. Zikan's recommendation for curb.and gutter was a proper one, it is also of the opinion that because of the lack of traffic in this area there should not be too much trouble without curb and gutter. Beim moved that the proposed curb and gutter project be abandoned, with the understanding that blacktop replacement, should it be necessary, will be paid for by the residents. Motion seconded by 'Jhpa and carried. Mr. Ward Beall,#5609, Engineer. Zikan told group that - Mr. Kaiser stated that he objects to the sloping curb-that the Mr. A1 Birk,#5629, expressed himself as pay for the blacktop replacement, we don't see why we have to have curb and gutter".

It was reported that Park Place has never been "blacktopped" because underground improvements were not all in. Asked if the Village pays for improvements abutting Village parks, Nr. Kohler told audience that Village will pay for blacktopping abutting the park, but will not pay for underground improvements unless connections are needed for park use. The suggestion was made that the watermain project be separated from the blacktopping, and that a Public Hearing be scheduled for Monday, June 13, on proposed Blacktopping, with the understanding that the Village will pay its per-front-foot share for the park property, on'the Blacktopping.
