gave Estimated Cost of proposed improvement at $9,341.64, proposed to be assessed
against 103,829 Square Feet for $.09 per Square Foot.
The lots facing Tower Street had been platted for a number of years they had not
been improved by buildings until recently because the area had been swamp; that
the houses facing West Woodland Road had been built before'the houses facing Tower;
and that when the lots facing Tower Street were filled, water pocketed in the back
yards of the properties facing West Woodland Road.

proposed improvemenf. Mr. Val. M. Parker, 4521 Tower Street, supported the
petition, which stated in part, "The Village code of Edina states each property
owuer is responsible for water drainage of their property and drainage should be
to the street".
in the Village ordinances; that there is some definite question as to whether the
Village does have the authority to control back yard drainage. This was confirmed
by Attorney Hasselquist, who stated that the Village can and has made provision that
lots must ha*e certain elevation at the street lot, so that homes may be connected
to sewer snd water, but that the Statute is silent on back yard eleuations; that the
Village has no legal responsibility to property owners to eliminate their back yard
drainage problems. Mr. D. C. Gramling, 4516 West Woodland Road, showed the Council
pictures of stormwater standing in the back yards, saying he and his neighbors
had no trouble until the Tower lots were filled; that he believes there is a
responsibility, here, whether it be that of the Village or that of the owners of
the filled properties.
Avenue contractors have offered to fill in the backyards of the West Woodland Road
properties at a cost of from $300 to $400 a lot (which, in most cases would be
less expensive the cost of the storm sewer), Manager Hyde suggested that this
Public Hearing be continued until a meeting could be arranged between the Village
Engineering Department, the petitioning property owners, and the contractors who
had made this offer. Mr. Gramling protested that if his lot is filled, water will
still stand in the Tower Street backyards.
