reviewed for the audience the reasons for this Hearing on a storm sewer project
approved in August, 1959, as "Storm Sewer Improvement No, 50" (Lateral No. 8 of
Storm sewer Main No. 1).
in 1959 are of sufficient extent to require a new public hearing; that, since the
1959 Public Hearing, the State has taken certain lands which were to have been
assessed (thus decreasing the amount of square footage available for assessment),
that contractors' unit prices are up because of the amount of construction work
available for contractors this year, and that contractors are bidding higher on
work in easements through private propprty than they ordinarily bid on regular
street work; that, for theserreasons, bids taken this morning are above the Estimate
of Cost of $.0637 per Square Foot given in the mailed notice of this hearing; that
the costs, based on bids taken today, would be $.0733 per Square Foot on the
Alternate Project (which involves smaller pipe than the originally designed project)
and $.0788 per Square Foot on the Base Project. Mr. Hyde reported that there are
possibilities of saving some of this cost:
year, in time for assessment, approximately $9,000 in Capitalized Interest can be
deleted: 2. If proper easements can be secured, so that contractor can eliminate
(a) moving a sanitary sewer manhole at +I6321 Tingdale, and (b) tunneling under a
large oak tree at 6324 Wilryan, about $7,500 in Construction Cost can.be saved.
Mr. B. Weekley, 6308 Tingdale, stated he feels measurements given contractor with
regard to location of manhole are incorrect; and Mr. Zikan was instructed to re-
check . Mr. J. R. Swenson, 6425 Ryan Avenue, protesting that the proposed impwve-
ment will cost him some $1,000, plus interest, asked for an explanation of the plan;
and Consulting Engineer Douglas Barr explained it in detail, telling audience that
many plans have been made; that the present plan is the most economical. Mrs.
George Vanasek, 6424 Sherwood Avenue, stating that property owners east of the
Highway are not bothered by storm waters, asked whey they should be required to
pay for a sewer to drain the property west of Highway #loo.
6301 Warren Avenue, complained that there was a water hole in front of his garage,
on W.63rd St., and asked if the proposed storm sewer would correct.
informed that street must be graded to correct this condition, providing Highway
did not take careoof it; that grading cost is not in storm sewer cost. Mr. T. G.
Bergh, 6417 Ryan Ave., ws also appraised of this fact. Mr. Richard Dols, 6308
Mildred Avenue, approved of project. Some considerable discussion was had,
and explanation given as to specific details of construction--location of catch
basins, etc, in answer to questions by the audience. Mr. Wm. Sibbach, 6336 Rolf

has been had; that the matcer of Lhe entire Lake Cornelia drainage basin has been
studied by Adolph Meyer and Associates, foremost hydraulic engineers in the North-
west, and that this is their recommendation for this particular area.
Trustee Beim, stating that he, too, regrets the cost of the project, but that he

improvement was givenFas $3,140.37, for $440.62 per dwelling lot. Mr. Nat Johnson,
5412 Halifax Lane, protested running of the improvement 260 feet North, stating
that improvement could be cut by 100 feet, thus saving property owners money; that
there is only one house on comer of 54th and Halifax; that this home can be served
fromW.54th Street. Engineer Zikan reported that the house about which Mr. Johnson
speaks faces W.54th Street, although the lot faces Halifax Lane; that if the line
is not run to 54th Street, this particular assessable footage must be eliminated
from the assessment district; that this particular lot as not assessed for the
other line at the time it was run in, and a connection charge would have to be
made for a connection to the previous line.
of septic tank or cesspool would have a bearing on the connection for this particular
lot. Mr. Johnson told Council that, because lots have been split up, there is no
space available, under present ordinance regulations, for any other dwellings to
go in on the North portion of Halifax Lane; one house already being connected on
W.54th St. The owner of the comer lot under discussion told Council that he can
connect on 54th St. and has no objection to the cutting of the present improvement.
A question was asked as to "who wants the sewer?" and it was explained that this
Hearing has been called on Council's own motion, pursuant to a request made at
the public hearing on a watermain project for the same area.

In connection with
new Estimates of Cost were given on WATERMAIN IMPROVEMENT NO. 149, in this same
street. Audience was inform2d that the estimated cost of the Watermain would
be $485.17 per lot without tamping--which would mean that Bituminous Surface
cannot be installed until 1961; $627.11 with tamping--which would allow
construction of bituminous surface this summer.
Some considerable discussion was had as to whether it would be more economical
to allow the watermain to go in now, without tamping, and'take a chance that
Bituminous Surfaca costs will not increase by next summer, or whether to provide
Tor tamping in watermain construction, thus allowing for Bituminous work this
summer at present costs; and affected property owners agreed on acceptance of
the watermain contract without tarnping, plus a coat of oil to tide them over
the winter (at an additional cost of some 15C per front foot), with contract
for Bituminous Surface to be awarded next spring.

BUFFER ReQUIRED FOR "DANDY' S DRIVE-IN" PROPERTY-SETTLEMENT EFFECTED Pursuant to
Council action of June 13, Mr. Robert Mikkeihson, owner of the "Dandy's Drive-In"
property, 66th and Xerxes, and complainant, James Streit, 6612 Xerxes Avenue,
appeared in an attempt to settle their disagreement concerning plantings along the
buffer fence. Council had heard Mr. Streit's arguments on June 13; Mr. Mikkelson
told his side of story at this meeting, stating he had moved fence four feet onto
his property to accommodate Mr. Streit, instead of installing it at the property
line as was first agreed; that the type of plantings Mr. Streit is asking for are
out of line. He told Council he had offered to fill the hole along the fence and
to give 3ir. Streit $300 so that Mr. Streit could arrange for plantings. Mr. Streit
asked that Bachman's be allowed to do the fill work, but Mr. Mikkelson told Council
he has fill available and could save by using his own fill. Mayor Bredesen suggested
that the matter be settled by allowing Mr. Mikkelson to do the fill work, after
which Nr. Streit would sign a release upon transmittal to him by Mr. Mikkelson of
$300.00 for plantings.

2. For the "Nelson Farm" , between Highway #lo0 and Railroad Tracks. Request
Mr. Hyde told Council it is his recommendation that, in cases where it is known
that property is to be platted, it be required of applicants for temporary
excavation permits that plats be filed, showing the topography of proposed plats.
Also, with regard to the Krahl request,. Mr. Hyde stated he believes Mr.
Krahl expects to move his machinery onto this property.

for the period in which he will be excavating on the property.
he does intend to plat, that it is his intent to fill swampy areas with material
from the hills.
Mr. Hyde reported that, in his and Mr. Hasselquist's opinions, permits for
excavation of this type should be given only upon amendment of Ordinance No. 262
by adding "temporary excavation districts"; and Mr. Krahl was informed that, if

Council can approve. Beim's motion, referring the Krahl request to the Planning

the intent for some time had been to file for an excavation permit; that Mr. A1
Godward has estimated that about one million cubic yards can be removed from
this property, besides what is needed €or the future plat; that applicant has
very recently received word that fill is urgently needed for the construction
of the highway, and that this last is what hastened application for permit.
He told Council that ft is the present intent of the applicant to reduce two
large hills to an elevation some 25 feet above the present elevation of the
meadow.
that a minimum of $25,000 could be saved the State by allowing removal of this
fill from the Nelson Farm for the construction of the highway between Norman-
dale and County Road No. 18; that such fill as is now'being requested would
have to be used in construction in the next 140 days, and that this is the
urgency of the request. Mr. A1 Godward, Platting Consultant, confirmed Mr.
Brown's statements with regard to amount of excess fill.
proposed dedication for park within the plat; and, in reply to Mr. Bredesen's
question concerning Mr. Stow's willingness to dedicate for park (in view of
Mr. Stow's repeated objections to such dedication for his earlier plats) Mr.
Godward replied that he is platting this property just as if he were the
Village Planning Consultant; that there is no other park in the immediate
vicinity of this proposed developrtlent of some 220 lots, and he does not see
how a park dedication can be avoided; that he feels Nr. Stow is willing to
make required dedication.
