proposed for his lot is completely inequitable, Mr. Nagengast asked for an adjustment.
Mr. Hyde suggested that the assessment for this lot be reduced by assessing the lot
as a corner lot for Street Improvement No. E-4, and eliminating the lot from assess-
ment for Street Improvement No. E-5, with the Village to subsidize the difference of
$218.62.
accordance with Mr. Hyde's recommendation, and that the Assessment Roll for Street
Improvement No. E-4 be adopted with this change, was seconded by Tupa and unanimously
carried. (See Resolution of later in Meeting, Amending Assessment for Street Improvement

cover the deletion of the proposed assessment of "Lot 12 and South 10 Ft. of Lot 11,

I/P;BLIC HEARINGS ON PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. Clerk presented Affidavits of Publication
in Edina-Morningside Courier on September 1 and 8, 1960, of Notices of Hearings on
five improvements; also affidavits of mailing of said notices to affected property
owners.
pursuant thereto, the following Public Hearings were conducted, and action was
taken as hereinafter recorded.
PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED STORM SEWER-LATERAL 10 OF MAIN 1.
explained to the audience that, because of objections and recommendations received
at the Public Hearing held August 3, 1959, and because additional information has
been available since that time.on the ultimate use of the swampy areas in this
watershed district, net7 studies have been made of the area needing to be drained,
and it is now proposed to construct the sewer as follows:
On 60th St. from the middle of the block between Ashcroft and %.Johns Aves.,
east to St.Johns, then south to Valley View Road, then east to the rear of the lots
facing St.Johns Ave., then south to a pond.

requested that this proposed improvement contain certain relief for the poor

there than at the intersection of Concord with Valley View Road.

They told Council that the intersection of Concord

picked up at this particular intersection there may have to be some decrease in the
assessment district; also, that because of the amount of water ponding at the Concord-
Virginia Lane intersection, providing an underground storm sewer sufficiently large
to take off this water will be an expensive proposition. He stated, however, that
some of the streets are not yet to grade and that it may be possible to provide above-
ground drainage. llanager Hyde added that the Consulting Engineers, Adolph Meyer &
Associates, have studied all possibilities and have attempted to work out the project
on the most economical basis. This delegation asked, specifically, that the project
contain provision for relief from their drainage difficulties if they must bear an
assessment, asking that Engineers be directed to give further.study to ways and
means of improving drainage at this intersection.
Elr. Nayberg, 6113 St.Johns Avenue, asked what treatment is planned for the
retention basins in ponds. Mr. Barr, of AdolphMeyer and Associates, explained
that there is now a culvert under Garrison Lane, which is at a very high level;
and that there is a h7er elevation planned, for normal pond level, and a bigger
capacity outlay; that there won't be anything done to improve the supply of water
to the pond; that this is merely a matter of providing definite outlet control.
Asked, %hat is the relationship between the ponds and Lake Cornelia?" Nr. Barr
replied, that Lake Cornelia will be controlled at 859 Ft.; the southerly pond at
863; and the northerly pond at 864.5, The question was asked, "that is the reason
you chose Lake Cornelia as the outlet, rather than the Creek?" llr. Barr replied
that there is actually very little difference, but that in either case the Village
must require storage space and that the outlet to Lake Pamela is not really in the
natural watershed for this area; that we should.try to keep all we can in the
natural watershed.
through to the pond north of Garrison Lane; and, after Mr. Barr had replied in
the affirmative, asked if the pond is to be dredged.
no plan to dredge as part of the project, but that the Village will not object
to private owners dredg'ng because this will improve the looks of the ponds.
Question was asked as/p B ans for.remova1 of the "floating real estate", and once
again Hr. Barr stated that present plans call for no treatment of the islands--
that, because of the control structures planned, these islands should not obstruct
the flop7 of water from one pond to another. He stated that engineers believe the
storm sewer will work equally well, whether islands are out or are in.
Dickson told audience he believes that floating debris should be removed as part
of the storm sewer, rather than as a maintenance matter. Hr. Barr was asked
whether, in his opinion, the lowering of the Garrison Lane culver and the
increased capacity would keep water from basements. Replying a definite "yes",
Mr. Barr stated that after every storm there will be a rise in the level of the
pond, but that the lowest basement known is 867$, which is sufficiently high to
be protected. Asked by Nr. Jackson, 6141 Concord Avenue, if it will be possible
to put a storm sewer on Virginia Lane from Concord Avenue to Ashcroft, Mr. Barr
replied that it will be, but only if elevations are right to drain northward
to Valley View Road.
expensive, but when asked if the cost will be less than hard surfacing, he
replied that it will be.
of adding provision for the Concord-Virginia Lane intersection drainage providing
this would add less than ten percent to the cost of the contract, and replied that
if the addition is minor it can be added to the improvement without an additional
public hearing.

Manager Hyde told audience that this Hearing was initiated on Council's own motion,
in order that underground utilities might be in Tracy Avenue before surfacing work is
done. Estimate of Cost as given as $6,700, for some $1,100 per lotfor the six lots
proposed to be assessed; revised after bids taken this morning, to $4,500, or $920
for the six lots proposed to be assessed. It was pointed out that Lot 14, Block 3,
Edina Countryside, which sides on Tracy Ave., does not have sewer; and that Lot 21,
Varden Acres, is sufficiently large to be platted and that owner may want sewer
from Tracy Avenue.

He stated it is proposed to make the street 36 feet wide--which would necessitate
restrictions against parking on one side of the street; that he feels the "No
Parking" stipulations should be on the West side of the street because there are
fewer homes facing Tracy Ave. on this side; that if parking is wanted on both sides
of the street, the street must be 44 feet wide.

to know, too, if street can be driven on this year if project is approved.
Hyde answered that street base will be laid and that it can be travelled.
Dorothy Bach, Doron Drive, and Mr. Ben-Beszr Bill Campbell objected to the paving
of Whiting St. because of its proximity to the right-of-way of the Crosstown
Highway. Nr. Hyde told audience that the County has no money nor plans for this
extension of the Crosstown at the present time, but that before the Village goes
ahead with construction the County will be given notice that it is to be done;
that they are already aware of the contemplated Village improvement. Two owners
advocated khat "No Parking" be on east side of street, pointing out that the
Village Park is located to the west, and that it would not be fair to east-side
owners to have park parkers on their side of the street; that this would be
a traffic hazard, also. Mr. Horton, No. 5805 Tracy Avenue, suggested that Whiting -
St. be blacktopped rather than paved, and Mr. Hyde pointed out that gas tax money
cannot be used on temporary construction.

blacktop must be removed and replaced, $1,560.07 per Lot. He added that if
the cost of blacktop replacement on Ayrshire Blvd. against all lots benefited
by the watermain improvement, the cost would be $1,064.53 per Lot for each of
the 53 Lots. Mr. W. H. Karies, 5205 Lochloy Drive, stated he could see no
real reason for the proposed improvement; that this area has deep wells, and
that the majority of them will now be connecting to the sanitary sewer--which
should eliminate any possibility of water contamination.

$.87 per square yard on April 20, bid today at $1.40. He told Council he feels
this increase represents, in part, an anticipated increase in labor rates under
Union contract, but that it also seem possible that contractors feel they rather
have the Village "over a barrel" on these projects and are making the best of a
good thing. He suggested that it might be well to reject all bids, and to bid
later on, with concrete as an alternate--with the exception of the job €or
Southdale, on Which one bid has been received for November 1 completion, and
for which project residents had expressly asked for early completion. Blr. Hyde

personally, would like to see the job get under way.
of the petition €or improvement in the Concord, Ashcroft and St.Johns area, was
also present, noting that bids for this project were up some 15% over estimate.
Some discussion was had on the possibility of a further increase in bids, should
they be delayed to next year, but it was the consensus that contractors are well
booked with work for the balance of this season and that for this reason bids
should be no higher early in the spring of 1961.
