FROM GARRISON LANE TO 480 FT. NORTH AND IN VALLEY VIEW ROAD FROM THE
CENTERLINE OF OAKLAWN AVENUE EXTEDED TO 406 FT. WEST.
Affidavit of Publication of "Notice of Public Hearing" in Edina-
Morningside Courier September 14 and 21, 1961; and, pursuant to said
Notice, Public Hearing was called on the above entitled improvement,
which is an alternate proposal worked out with the affected residents,
to the Sanitary Sewer route approved by the Council July 10, 1961, as
Sanitary Sewer Improvement No, 181. Vu-Graph Slide was shown of
proposed new route and area proposed to be assessed, and Manager Hyde
reported that the Engineer's Estimate of Cost, before taking bids today,
had been $10,139.36, for $1,448.48 per Connection; that the low bid
today, which was considerably lower than the other bids received, will
raise assessable cost to about $2,025 per connection. Mr. Neal Swant
inquired about the legality of connecting a large building, to be built
across the back of his two lots, to the 6" hertrice connection through
the Tedman property, stating that if there would be some difficulty in
this he is willing to pay the difference between the 6" connection and
a gt' connection if it does not total more than $1.00 per'foot.
inquired as to whether a manhole will be placed at the end of the
connection and was informed that the connection will be plugged, now;
that no manhole is contemplated; that when he wishes to connect a direct
connection ma$:bbezmade without manhole. Captain Gans told Mr. Swant that
from a design standpoint he believes the Village has fully satisfied the
requirements for service to this area. Mr. Swant inquired about possible
connection for a car wash, and was informed that the Village has an
ordinance on car wash operations, which provides special regulations for
this type of business, including grease traps before water can be sent
into the sewer system.

the Vooddale Avenue-Valley View Road intersection is bad because of the

Tupa suggested that perhaps Wooddale could be partially filled while the
sewer work is being done. Mr. Hyde reported that this probably would have
to be a major construction job (6f its own, because he felt that fill would
have to start from the extreme south end to get a gradual grade.

EDINA TO :JOIN .ST.LOUIS PARK IN REQUEST FOR COOPERATIVE ENGINEERING STUDY ON
MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED. Stating that the Village has .now received a copy of the
only study made on the problem of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed, for which he asked
at a recent meeting called by the rounty Commissioners; that Mr. Hite has reviewed
the study; that the Village of Minnetonka has a great many plans for the beautifi-
cation of lands which empty into Minnehaha Creek but that no plans have as yet been
made to include in a Watershed District.the lands draining into Lake Minnetonka
(from which Minnehaha Creek begins); that there are some legal questions as to
whether developed areas such as St.Louis Park, Edina and Minneapolis should be
considered as part of the problem; and that St.Louis Park has requested that a
preliminary engineering survey be conducted prior to the establishment of a district,
and has stated its willingness to cooperate in such a survey, Mr. Hyde recommended
that Edina join in St.Louis Park's request.
Hasselquist stated that 0nce.a 'Watershed District dhas been established, the Council
has divorced itself from jurisdiction over this district; that it is possible that
Edina could find itself in a position of being taxed for improvements in which it
has had no voice. Beim's motion, that Edina jointin St.Louis Park's request for a

EDINA HIGHLANDS SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION THROUGH "EDINA PARKLANDS" DISCUSSED.
CONDEMNATION OF EASEMENTS CANCELLED IN FAVOR OF GISSELBECK'S GRANTING EASEMENTS
FOR TEN-YEAR TE& ASSESSMENT.
August 28, stating that Mr. Gisselbeck will start to develop Edhna Parklands
immediately, according to the old plat which has been approved/tXe Planning
Commission; that he understands that sanitary sewer will be installed in this
plat on a special assessment basis over a ten-year term; that the village will
install storm sewers on a special assessment basis over a ten-year term; and
that Gisselbeck will install the watermains. Mr. Hyde told Council that the
easements necessary for the sanitary sewer are being condemned, but that the
Village does not have the right to go in on this property for 30 days; that the
sanitary sewer contract has been awarded; that Mr. Gisselbeck has agreed to let
the Village go ahead with work immediately providing Council agrees to the terms
of his letter. Mr. Gisselbeck agreed with Mr. Hyde's statement, saying that he
does not want to develop the property, at this time, but that because of the
necessity for the Village to secure this sanitary sewer connection for Edina
Highlands, he has gotten bids and proposes 60 have Northern Contracting Company
begin, soon, on the watermain construction; but that he feels that in return
for allowing the Village to make the connection (which he did not need and does
not even want at this time), his property should be assessed over a ten-year,
rather than a three-year term.
a ten-year assessment, whereas it has been assessing on a three-year termwith
other developments, Mr. Hyde replied that a ten-year assessment is not feasible
unless Council recognizes that, here, the Village needs the sewer connection
for the Edina Highlands sewer, which is complete and which has already been
assessed; that, here, what the Village is doing is granting a ten-year assess-
ment for the privilege of going acress his land.
