sewer, and the area proposed to be assessed therefor--which area included
certain lots in Block 2, Valley Park Addition and in Block 1, Jones' koll
Addition. Manager Hyde told the audience that when Valley Park subdivision
was originally platted there was a minimum amount of pipe put in the streets
at a cost of $3,700; that the reason a complete job ~a7as not done at this time
was that the Leslee Lane area had not yet been platted; that because of the
small amount of construction done in 1953 by Valley Park developers the
Valley Park and Jones Knoll area had not been included in the area proposed to
be assessed for this present project; but that upon a re-survey by the Consulting
Engineers it had been detdrmined that this area will benefit by construction of
the presently proposed system.
entire area set forth in the Notice of Hearing as the area proposed to be
assessed, on the following basis:
$23,740.54.
sewer, making a Total of $27,440.00 proposed to be assessed over an area of
804,000 Sq. Ft'. A credit would be given to those properties partially benefited
by the original construction, to the extent of $.00889 per square foot, making
estimated assessable cost to these property owners of $.02523, with an estimated
"cost of $.034 td the balance of the area. Nr. Freeman, owner of Lot 13 abutting
Leslee Lane, told Council he believes that if Lot 12 is filled the line between
-Lots 11 and 12 north of Leslee Lane can be deleted from the improvement.
Minder of Suburban Engineering Company, Consulting Engineers, reported that this
has been investigated; that in order to eliminate this stub.there should be fill
in Lots 11, 12 and 13 abutting.Lesslee Lane and Lots 1, 2 and 4 abueting Saxony
Road; that the home on Lot 11 has been. constructed in such a way that' the lot
must be kept low br the house re-constructed. Mr. Ken Luce, owner of Lots 1, 2
and 3 abutting Saxony Road, explained he is now filling Lot 1; that this cost
will run to some $800. Mr. Minder estimated cost of stub at "about $l,OOQ", and
Mr. Freeman withdrew his suggestion.. Mr.. Bruce Yund, owner of LOES 11 and 12
abutting Eeslee Lane, repoxted he purchased his lots with grade as is; that he
feels it would be unjust to require him to fill lots to provide drainage. for the
area to the North., Mr. George O'Dowd, owner of Lot 4, south of Kaymak Drive,
objected to the Valley Park's area being included at this time, and inquired as
to what caused the re-kurvey. He was informed by Mr. Howard Lindow, 6001 Leslee
Lane, that one of the owners in this particular area had felt the area should be
included and had so reported.

proper grading requirements by the Village. Some discussion was had on this; and
a gentleman who stated he.is the owner of all the now-vacant lots in Block 2,
Valley Park, stated the lots will be graded to thQ rear, and if possible to Lot 2,
but that he feels there is too much water from these thirteen lots in the block
to be carried across Block 2 on the surface.
Council approves a stub line south of Kaymar Drive, it should be on an easement
between Lots 2 and 3; that such.a stub would cost between $1,200 and $1,500.

reported that after fhe November 14th Council Neeting an error had been
discovered in the Notice of Hearing; and that because of this a new Hearing had
been scheduled and a corrected Notice mailed. He reported to Council that a
Public Hearing had been held OR this petition some time ago; that because of
objection by the property owners the petition had been denied by the Council;
that petitioner, Randolph Hippe., had subsequently presented an'assenting
petition which indicated that at least some of the objectors had changed their'
minds--and that it was on the basis of this latter petition that a new Hearing
had been scheduled.
recommends the proposed five-plex for the property under consideration.
A detailed construction plan was presented, showing elevations and floor plan;
and Mr. Hippe told Council there will be garage space in the building for one
car per unit, and space for more vehicles hn the grounds.
that telephone calls today have eliminated residents at 6133 and 6141 Brookview
Avenue &om the assenting petition. Mr. Jerome Gregersen, 6144 Brookview Ave.,
led a delegation of four neighbors protesting the rezoning.
6317 Brookview and J. E. Pauly, 6224 Brookview, were in the delegation.
Objectors told Council .that the five-plex wou,ld devaluate their propert-ies ;
that this would be rental property and would not be taken care of in the same
manner as owner-occupied properties; that they feel this is a residential area
and should stay that way; that they will assent to two doGble bungalows on this
tract because they feel that each bungalow k70Uld be owner-occupied.
Gregcrson told Council that apartments are many times rented to grdups of
single men or women, eqch of whom drives a car; that in this case the parking
problem could become acute. My. Pauly evinced his concern about the property
to the south of Valley View Road, and vas info-med that this is now zoned for
single 2esidence and that additional Hearing st~ould have to be held before
any rezoning could take place. Petitioner Hippe told Council that he qpects
to rent his apartments for at least $185 per month; feels this would exclude
undesirable renters; that, should doubles be built on the tract they would
have to be small buildings, renting for 1$ss than the five-plex apartments.
Inquiry was made as to use of the "triangle" across Broolcview from Plr. 'rlippe's
tract.
that the Village has utilities easements across it. FIX. Gregerson objected to
any plan to make this .a parking lot for Nr. Iiippe's establishment, or to push
Brookview Avenue westward, and was informed that this matter is not under
consideration at this time. Objectors had presented a substantial petition in
objection to the proposed rezoning. This petition k7as checked by Council, and
it was noted that many of the names contained therein are outside the 500-foot
radius generally considered as being affected by change in zoning.
Dickson , after-stating he feels that due consideration of this matter has been
given by the Planning Commission before its recommendation for rezoning, offered
the following Ordinance, moving that Council dispense with second reading and
adopt Ordinance as submitted:

STORM SEPJER FOR WHITE OAKS PROHIBITIVELY HIGH. Manager Hyde reported to the

He recommended that the
Council was in accord with Manager's
STORPI SEt7ER TO DRAIN REAR LOTS AT 66TH AND NAOMI DRIVE TO BE RE-STUDIED.
Manager reported to Council that Consulting Engineer's plans and estimates
show this as another storm sewer it will be almost impossible to construct;
that drainage must go to Nine-Mile Creek because of the soil conditions in
the pond behind Circle Drive, which are such that a great deal of excavation
would be needed to hold additional water, without guarantee that pond would
not overflow; that cost is not as great to construct line to Pond, but that
Consulting Engineers do not recommend this as a solution because it ~7ould
be temporary, at best; that the only acute problem is experienced by four
lots, where contractor constructed walk-in basements. It v7as pointed out
that, for the benefit of the entire area something should be done bring
relief to these lots; that if land is filled basements will be shut off,
and there will be no space for garages. Village Engineer ?il:an suggested a
temporary ponding arrangement (for water from very heavy rains) be made in
Normandale Park, and it was decided that this possibility should be studied
before project is entirely abandoned.
