partially as a continuation of the July 24, 1961 public hearing, at which Mr.
James DeKiep requested that provision be made for additional lots neighboring
Belmore Lane, which would be left without provision for sewer should the
originally, planned construction take place.
Edina has now met with Hopkins; that Hopkins will allow connection to its Sanitary
Sewer at Maple Hill Road; that Estimates of Cost have been worked out, showing
that it will be considerably more economical to go into Hopkins than to serve
the six properties needing sewer with a lift station in Edina, Estimates being
$21,179.31 for the lift station sewer, as against $16,881.00 for the Hopkins
sewer.
connection basis, which will be an approximate $1,380 per connection--based on
the price of Sanitary Sewer No. 120 at a per front foot assessment of $8.53,
plus a 29% increase in construction cost since 1957; that the balance of cost
will be assumed by thb2Village; that when the larger lots are split and additional
connections needed, charges will be made on these new connections on the same
basis as though now proposed to be assessed. Both Messrs. Wilhoit and DeKiep
expressed their satisfaction with this arrangement; and there were no objections
made.

. PUBLIC HEARING ON EIAWKE'S LAKE OUTLET STORM SEWER, AND TRACY AVENUE AND RELATED
LATERAL STORM SEWERS. Manager Hyde asked Planning Director Hite to explain to
the audience the main features of this large proposed project, a part of which
is necessary before Tracy Avenue can be paved.
Publication in Edina-Morningside Courier August 3 and 10, 1961, and of Mailing
to affected property owners, of "Notice of Hearing", which affidavits were
approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Public Hearing was conducted, and action taken as hereinafter recorded.
Hite reported that the proposed improvement consists of several integrated
parts, as follows:

Pursuant to said Notice,
Mr.
1. Provision for an outlet for stormwater overflow from Hawkes Zake by
installation of a pumping station on the west side-of the lake to pump
the overflow to the top of the hill immediately to the southwest, and
a line from there to the Nine Mile Creek flood plan -- the cost of which
is estimated to be $26,700, and is proposed to be assessed against the
entire area contributing water to Hawke's Lake (either by surface flow
or storm'sewer pipe) at an estimated cost of $,0045 per assessable
square foot.
Warden Avenue from Hawkes Lake easterly to Johnson Drive; (this pipe to be
Tracy Avenue from Hawke's Terrace southerly to Grove Street;
Johnson Drive from a point approximately 400 feet north of Warden Avenue
Grove Street from Johnson Drive to approximately 260 feet easterly.
The cost of this proposed project is proposed to be assessed against
all properties within the outlet area (No.1) drained by said laterals,
and against an additional area within the outlet area which now drain
to the park pond-at Hansen Road--this latter area to be assessed for
the oversizing of the Warden Avenue lateral, only.
An addition to the above-cited laterals, easterly ahag Johnson Avenue
along a road in the proposed Edina Parklands subdivision to the west side
of an enlarged pond in Village park property, and an overflow outlet for
the park pond.
2. Construction of Storm Sewer Laterals in -

southerly to Benton Avenue;
~
from 3.
With the aid of a map, showing the areas proposed to be assessed (copy of
which map had been included with mailed notice of hearing), Mr. Hite reported
that if all the proposed laterals and the outlet for thhe park pond are
constructed, the Estimated Cost woul e $80,600, of which $9,400 will be
paid as part of the Municipal State/ hi gram, leaving $71,200 proposed to
be assessed. Of this amount, $8,450 is directly attributable to the park
pond outlet, and would be assessed against the area now draining to the
pond (area C on map) at an estimated $.0044 per-square .foot. The balance
of $62,750 would be assessable to areas drained by proposed laterals (A&B
on map) at an estimated $.0302 per assessable foot.
the assessment against area C is low because this area has no direct inlet
or catch basin service for streets within the area; that should such fauilities
be needed at a later date, additional assessment would be made for them, to
area C.
I
It was emphasized that
Mr. John I). Danielson, 5714 Benton Avenue, reported that the Benton Avenue pond
does not drain; that outlet from pond is plugged. Mr. Downes, Hawke's Drive,
inquired as to what effect this plan will have on the level of Hawke's Lake, and
Mr. Lindsey, consulting engineer, reported that present level will remain-that

inquired about his assessment..' It was explained that his area is now being
assessed for lateral service--that the only additional assessment he would
receive would be for the Wawlce's Lake Outlet portion of the improvement.
Mr. Charles Blake, 5716 Benton Avenue, asked if this improvement includes plans
for a small pond near his residence.
it is believed the owner is working with the Church people to get this re-
opened. Mr. Wyman, Benton Avenue, told Council he couldn't begin to pay the
assessments proposed for his property--and that with these proposed assessments
he couldn't give his lots away. He asked that the assessment be levied over
20 years.
project is completed, at which the term of the assessment can be considered;
although it has been the policy to levy over a ten-year term because of the
better rating received on short term bonds. Mr. Brooks Nielsen, 5521 Benton
Avenue, asked concerning plans for the beautification of the Benton Avenue
pond, and was informed tlhat plans are in specifications for contract. Mr.
Nielson then reported that the back yards in the 5500 block between Benton and
Countryside Road are too low to be served by the proposed improvement; and Mr.
Rollie Danielson corroborated this statement, saying there are 19 lots which
contribute water to this area; that water is trapped, here. Manager Hyde and
Captain Gans recommended that a stub drain of about 150 feet be installed .
Mr. Steele, 5516 Benton Ave., inquired as to why assessment should be made for
storm sewer if there is no pipe put into the street. It was explained that
for reasons of economy storm sewers are planned to take all water possible by
gravity; that the water from Benton Avenue is picked up in catch basins below
Benton and then carried underground.
Council he has never had drainage problems; that the proposed improvement is
. doing his 45,000 square feet absolutely no good, and that he objects to paying
for the improvement. The owner at 5705 Olinger Road informed Council that his
property is hemmed in by nine acres which the owner proposes not to sell for
some time, and that he objects to paying for storm sewer unless he can realize
some benefit from development of his property.
inquired as to wheter it is proposed to levy different assesments for improved,
as compared with mnimprovedproperty, and was told rate of assessment will be
the same. He then asked about the level of Hawke's Lake, and Mr. Lindsey
informed him that the level of the lake will vary between 880 and 887 (it is
now about 881); that the improvement is not designed to remove stormwater
from the lake immediately.
property drains two ways; that a culvert drains most of the property into
area C, and he feels he should receive area C assessment for the portion
draining in that direction.
drains to #169 and not toward Hawke's Lake. He was informed that a newly
proposed street will bring water back into the drainage area.
who stated he owns quite a portion of the Hawkes Lake property, asked if a
survey had been made of how much water will be needed to fill Hawke's Lake.
Mr. Lindsey replied that, on present design, it will take several days to
pump water out after a 25-year storm.

Captain Gans reported that, at an informal neighborhood meeting he had been

and that at the close of the meeting it appeared that the majority favored the
construction of the Portland Cement Concrete Curb and Gutter, and the Asphalt

reversal of opinion shortly thereafter as to method of assessment.
Mr. M. IJ. Rieke, 5260 Lochloy Drive, told Council that many of the owners
who do not have wide footages had no knowledge of the heighborhood meeting until
it was over; that they are opposed to a per-lot basis on grounds they do not care

sewer, and $21,740.31 to the Sub-Trunk. In the benefited area there are 029 lots
assessable, for $66.08 per lot for the Sub-Trunk Sewer; and 83 lots assessable
for the lateral sewer, for $1199.66 per Lot for the Lateral.
to be assessed for the Lateral service in addition to the Sub-Trunk Sewer are
the lots in Lot 27, Auditor's-Subdivision No. 196 and along Gleason Road abutting
the combination sub-trunk and lateral main.
installation of this main, without a lift station to serve some of the area, would
mean an extremely deep cut, with exceptionally difficult digging, investigation
was made on the comparative costs of 1. the shallower cut with lift station; and
2. deep cut without.lift station--and that inclusion of the lift station, with
resulting additional assessment later to only those properties needing service
from it, is less expensive to all concerned, including those to be assessed for
the lift station later (the lots located in Lots 17, 19, and Wly parts of Lots 22
and 23, Aud. Subd, #196). Mr. Olson, 5540 Navaho Trail, inquired about term of
assessment; was informed it is proposed to be 10 years. Mr. Smith, owner of Lot 18,#196:

SALE OF TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENT BONDS APPROVED.
Council that because of the extraordinary amount of construction work already
contracted for, this year, sale of a large issue of improvement bonds is
imminent; that, pending this sale, Village should sell at public sale, not
later than September 11, about $700,000 of Temporary Improvement Bonds, for
a term of 45 to 60 days, with the understanding that the improvements thus
temporarily financed will be included in a long-term bond issue later this
fall and not later than November 1. Beim's motion, that Finance Director
Dalen and Village Attorney make necessary preparations to sell Temporary
Improvement Bonds in accordance with Mr. Dalen's recommendations., was seconded
by Tupa and carried.
Finance Director Dalen told the
SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT NO. 159 PUBLIC HEARING ON ASSESSMENT TO BE SCHEDULED.
Finance Director Dalen presented a written report showing actual construction
costs as compared with estimate, construction costs being much higher than
estimate due in part to the poor soil condition in the area and in part to
the unseasonable weather experienced during construction, with a rainy season
during the winter necessitating the hauling in of many loads of rock, to make
streets passable. In view of completely unexpected cost increase, it was
suggested that the Village assume a share of the overage, give credit for
road repair, and forgive one year's capitalized interest.
made by the Council to this proposal, and Manager Hyde was authorized to
have assessment roll prepared on this basis, with assessment hearing to be
scheduled this fall. The report also cited the matter of lots proposed to
be assessed for sub-trunk service.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR TREE TRIMMING IMPROVEMENT NO. E-2.
Pursuant to "Notice of Assessment Hearing on Tree Trimming Improvement No. T-2",
published in Edina-Morningside Courier August 3 and 10, 1961, affidavit of which
publication was presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on
file, Public Hearing was called on proposed assessment for the above entitled
improvement.
proposed to be assessed on a "per-lot" basis against the lots abutting the
streets on which trees were trimmed, whether or not the particular lot has a
tree, against 1,003 Lots, for $15.40 per Lot. There were no objections to
the proposed assessment registered at the Public Hearing, and no written
objections had been received prior thereto. Dickson's motion, that Assessment
be approvedsas presented, was seconded by VanValkenburg and unanimously carried.
(See Resolution of later in Meeting, Adopting and Confirming Assessment).
Tabulation was read at Total Assessable Cost of $15,446.20,
PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED'ASSESSMENT FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT NO. ~~-18, IN CHANTREY
ROAD FROM AYRSHIRE BLVD. TO HIGHWAY NO. 169. Clerk presented Affidavit of Publi-
cation of "Notice of Assessment Hearing" in Edina-Morningside Courier August 3 and
10, 1961; and, pursuant to said Notice, Public Hearing was called. Tabulation was
read at Total Assessable Cost of $16,722.09, proposed to be assessed against 20
lots at $7.98 per front foot, as compared with Improvement Hearing Estimate of
$6.79 per Front Foot. Manager Hyde explained that increase in cost is due to
two reasons; that the major reason is an under-estimate by the engineers on
excavation and gravel; that the other reason is the widening of the entry way to
Highway No. 169. Mr. Walter Lindley, 5525 Chawey, told Council he feels estimate
should have been closer; also, that property owners were informed the'night of
the improvement hearing that engineer's estimate is usually high. Asking what
type of bid is obtained, he was informed that bids are on unit prices. He asked
if perhaps manpower hours were figured including driveways rather than on street
work alone, and was told that bids are not taken on manpower hours, but,rather,
on unit prices of excavation, bituminous surface, etc. Mr. Tom Grady, 5505 Chantrey,
inquired if it is not the policy to accept fixed-price contracts, and on receiving
the answer that this is not the policy, inquired as to what safeguard the taxpayer
has that he will be assessed an amount comparable to the estimate given. Manager
explained that estimates are made up from the best available information; that
soil borings are taken beforehand and that it is from the results of these tests
that quantities are figured. Captain Gans told group that matter of taking core
borings from the street is a matter of engineering judgment; that, in this particular
case, worse soil conditions were encountered than were anticipated from test results.
Mrs. Meinhofer, who stated she was responsible for the petition for this work,
asked if the Village will not assume a share of the cost of widening the Highway
No. 169 entryway; and Mr, Lindley told Council he feels there is a real question
as to whether this entryway should be assessed against Chantrey Road at all--that
it serves several other streets in addition to Chantrey; that the street was
widened only for the purpose of contributing to the safety of the persons in the
area. Mrs. Meinhofer told Council that there have been no accidents here since
the widening of the street; that there were many before that time. Mayor Bedesen
