Planning Director Hite presented Affidavit of Mailing of "Notice of Hearing"; also presented plat showing location of tract, telling Council Planning Commission had voted favorably on the request, on a 3-2 vote; that frontage will be on Tracy Avenue. Mr. Frank Kreiser, representing petitioner, told Council that this lot is not suitable for a good one-family dwelling because of the traffic on Highway 1,169; that petitioner expects to build a $30,000 to $40,000 double, there; that a single-family dwelling, to sell on this lot, would probably have to be less than $20,000; that this is the only lot in Kohlridge on which it is proposed to build a double; that all other houses in the plat will be singles of the $25,000 to $30,000 type.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED VACATION OF W.63RD STREET FROM CONCORD AVENUE TO VIRGINIA AVENUE. of Notice of Public Hearing, whichewere approved as to form and ordered placed on file; and, pursuant to said Notice, Public Hearing was conducted on proposed Vacation. It was explained that there is no petition for this Vacation; that Hearing has been initiated on Council's own motion, relative to the improvement of streets in the general area; that Crosstown Service Drive is proposed to go just south of this street and street will not be needed for traffic movement; that none of the residences abutting the street faces it. Mr. A. L. MacLean, 6232 Concord Avenue, told Council that this particular street has been cut through, so that in effect there is a 30-foot ditch. possible that it could be restored by the Village. the negative, but on Mr. MacLean's comment that considerable fill should be available from the curb and gutter work soon to be done in the immediate neighborhood and,it.might be reasonable to put it into the ditch rather than haul it off, Manager Hyde and Council agreed that, under these circumstances, fill could be made. Mu. MacLean was told that the dedicated street would revert to the property owners; then asked if this Would mean liability for any past assessments, and was told that no such liability would incur. Lastly, Mr. MacLean inquired as to whether abutting property opmers would be obliged to pay an assessment on the !#vacated street" portion for the surfacing and cvrbing of Concord Avenue. He was informed that there should be no objection to relief from this assessment inasmuch as Estimate of Cost has been given without assess- ment for this strip. Mr. MacLean's contention that this property should bear no,assessment was on the basis that owners of abutting properties are not materially benefited by the additional property.to be gained by the vacation; that it will add nothing to re-sale value and will mean additional work and responsibility in caring for additional yard and for restoration of street. With understanding that Village will fill vacated street from neighborhood curb and gutter excess dirt, that no liability will incur for past special assessments, and that the abutting property owners will be relieved of assess- ment for Concord Avenue surfacing, Mr. MacLean withdrew his objections to street vacation. There were no other objections registered, and none had been received prior to Hearing. be retained by the Village; and Dickson offered the following Resolution and move its adoption: Clerk presented Affidavits of Publication, Posting and Mailing He asked if it is Mr. Bredesen answered in Trustee Tupa suggested that utilities easement RESOLUTION VACATING STREET CONCORD AND VIRGINIA AVENUES W.63RD STREET, BETWEEN WHEREAS, two weeks' published notice and posted notice of a hearing to be had on the proposed Vacation of W.63rd Street between Concord Avenue and Virginia Avenue on,May 22, 1961, at 7:OO p.m., has been given and made, and a hearing has been had thereon by the Village Council: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the,Village of Edina, Hennepin County, +Minnesota, that-W.63RJ.I STREET, lying between the West right-of-way line of Concord Avenue and the East righf-of-way line of Virginia Avenue, as platted and of record.in the office of the Register of Deeds of Hennepin County, Minnesota, be, and is hereby vacated; prov$ded, however, that this vaqation shall not become effective nor the street be deemed vacated unless and until the Village of Edina has received a utilities easement ten feet inwidth, being five feet on either side of the centerline of said vacated street, said eqsement t? be from such parties and,in such.form as to give the Village of Edina good and-valid utilities easement as determined by the-Village Attorney; and that upon receipt of 2uch easement this resolution vacating said *street, excluding, .however,, the proviso, shall be-prepared and recorded, Motion ,for adoption of Resolution was second were four ayes and no nays, as follows: Di aye;.Tupa, aye; VanValkenburg, Tupa, and on.Rollcal1 there and Bredesen, aye; and the Resolutio 58 5/22/61 PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SANITARY SEIJER FOR WHITE OAKS AREA.

In lJ.48th .St. from 150 Ft. West of Meadow Road to Meadow Road; Meadow Road from W.48th St. northerly to the Village limits; and White Oaks Road from Meadow Road Plesterly .to the end (for which an Estimate of Cost, prepared by Suburban Engineering Co., was given at $64.481.00, proposed to be assessed againslt 26 lots for $2,480 per lot); In Glhite Oaks Road froml3.48th St. extending North to'and including and B. the Cul-de-Isac (for which Estimate of Cost, prepared by Village Engineers, was given at $17,224.59, proposed to be assessed against five lots for $3,3444.91 per lot). Hanager Hyde told Council that petition had been received by the White Oaks Road residents pursuant to one cesspool failure and trouble with other cesspools in the 4700 was thought provident to conduct Hearing on the larger improvement, engineered some time ago by Suburban Engineering Company in connection with a storm sewer study in the same locale; that the smaller improvement is very expensive because it includes restoration of a platted but unidroved street; that, in the larger improvement it may be possible to include three Morningside lots, if they want service, which would reduce cost per lot to $2,223.48. Mr. R. L. Michelson, 4702 White Oaks Road, sponsor of the emergency petition, told Council that the cost of the small project is prohibitive, that with interest over a ten year period residents would be paying almost $5,000 for their sewer; that petitioners wish to object to the smaller improvement and support the larger one--which would also serve them at a smaller cost. Messrs. Marvin Holt, 4613 Meadow Road, . Fl. L- Borst, 4715 Meadow Road, R. M. Fleming, 3909 W.48th Street, D. K. MacLennag, 4611 meadow RaadGoall objected to the large improvement (for-which they will be assessed) some on the grounds of no need, others on grounds of excessive cost, Nr. George Hardisty, 4717 Meadow Road, told kouncil he has. polled his neighbors between 47th and 48th Streets, and that all but Mr. Scott are in opposition. told Council he would neither object nor vote for improvement. Grzeskowiak, 4600 Meadow Road, spoke in favor of installation of sewer immediately; and Mr. Reuben Scott, 4705 White Oaks Road, stated that while he does not need the sewer, now, he is sure the area will need it some day and is in favor. Public Works Director Gans told audience that the sewer must go in sooner or later; that he believes that as more cesspools fail it may be necessary from a sanitation standpoint to order the sanitary sewer in at any time, Stating he feels that time spent in further consideration of this project is wasted time in view of the fact that the great majority of the people at the hearing are opposed to the larger prolject and the people now needing sewer are unwilling to pay for the smaller improvement, Mayor Bredesen asked for Council action, and Dickson moved that both proposed projects be abandoned. seconded by VanValkenburg and carried.

These figures are based upon a comparisoq of estimated unit,costs with bid unit costs and are not final*because there was not time to compare totals completely. He reported that the $7,62 quoted is the net estimated asse;ssment to property owners, after deductiqn of the Village's proposed 10% sharing of cost. The next lowest bid was that of McCree Company,. at $370,922.35 for Concrete Paving with Integral Curb (and other related work), and of Riegger Roadways, Inc. on thhe Bituminous Surface Treatment qnd Concrete Curb and.Gutter (and other related work) at $287,419.26. In explaining the reason for .the 10% .Village sharing of cost for concrete pavement, Manager Hyde.reported that, in accordance withh the best cost figures available, thhe 100 Files of unimproved (graded and gravelled) streets cost the Village.$77,3.76 per mile per year to maintqin; the.95 miles of Bituminous Surfaced Streets costS$856.31.per mile per year, .and the.nine miles of concrete cost $202 per mile per year. Asked by Mr. Bredesen whether thhe 10% savings anticipated by the Village on maintenance of the concrete .streets includes capital outlay for necessary maintenance machinery, Mr. Hyde answered that equipment, qaterials and labor costs have all beeq taken into cgnsideration in computing maintenance costs., Mr. E. C. Stow evidenced his concern.about the "over-qll" picture if the Council adopts the policy of Village-share-of 10% for concrete. He told Counqil Blacktop is much chaaper than the prices. quoted if "blaqktop birm" is put in, rather than concrete curb and gutter. concrete whL&h has already been constructed; that h'aais afraid the mill rate will be raised considerably in thhe future if this policy continues. reported that the Village share of the Brookview Heights Paving Project was $25,978;-and Mr. Bredesen, asked that Mr.. Stow sqay with.the subject at hand-- that of Concrete Paving with Integral Curb as corqpared with Bituminous Surface with Concrete Curb and Gutter. A question was asked concerning ass&sment "to corner lots for 'repair of surface; and Mr. Bredesen replied that the policy has always been to levy no assessments for repair after surfacing; but that thhis is no guarantee that this policy will continue. Mr. Ken Hirschhey, 6804 Southdale Road, who identified himself as the member of a firmwhichh sells asphalt materials, told Council his particular purpose in coming to thhe Hearing is to protest the Village-sharing for concrete surfacing someone else',s streets. He also stated that there have been misconceptions about the comparative costs of repair, reporting that State Highways show 30,000 miles less concrete paving than some years ago, because of the fact that when concrete needs repair it is simply covered with asphalt-- and the subsequent repair costs are charged against bituminous surfaced streets. He told Council hhe feels that for the Village Council to share in street surfacing to the extent of 10% is ridiculous, when this work can be done at no expense to the taxpayers. Specifications were explained by Public Works Director Gans in reply to an inquiry from one resident. Mr. John Hogenson, 5904 Code Avenue, objected to concrete paving on grounds that his street is a steep grade, that Village uses salt on slippery streets, which xqill scale thhe concrete; and Mr. Glenn Carlson, 5908 Code, added his objection on the same grounds.

One ge-ntleman from the audience of about 150 requested a show of hands vote, and upon Hayor Bredesen's request for same, vote .showed a substantial majority in Re.solution and moved its adoption: This does not include snopi plowing.

Street Improvement (Surfacing and Curb), ordered in by Council at its April 24th meeting, with bids to.be taken June 12, be delayed to 1962. Mrs. Alden reported that because of an error in omitting the names 05 two owners of unplatted properties abutting the street from the mailing list, a new Public Hearing must be scheduled for June 12. Mr. Yngve told Council that because of the fact that the subdivision is not at all developed and roads are still settling after sewer and water construction both Tommeraasen and the Spring Company are of the opinion that to improve the streets now would be inadvisable; that when signing the petition for street improvement Mr. Tormneraasen was of the opinion that improvement would not take place for two years. that unless streets are improved at this time the Village will receive constant complaints from new owners and will experience considerable maintenance expense. Mr. Tommeraasen told Council he is worried about getting materials in to his houses under construction; that, depending on sales he expects to 6onstruct 15 to 20 houses in the subdivision this year. Council that substantial base matefial was put into these streets last fall, * and asked that, if concrete surfacing is to be used, some credit for this base be given. Captain Gans stated he could not answer at this time; would have to check this matter. Mr. Bjorklund stated he feels it would certainly be in order for the Council at this meeting to postpone the proposed improvement to next year; and VanValkenburg moved that improvement of Vycliffe Road, Merold Drive, all in Edina Highlands Lakeside Addition, be postponed to 1962.
