First matter on the agenda was continuation of the May 14, 1962 Public
Hearing on the petition of Rauenhorst Construction Company for the rezoning
from Open Development District to Community Store District, Office Building
District, and Planned Industrial District of certain tracts of land along
the South Village Limits, bounded on the I.lest by Normandale Road, on the
East by Wooddale Avenue extended, and on the North ky Normandale Center Golf
Course and Registered Land Surveys Nos. 679 and 938; and otherwise described
as llNorrnandale Center Industrial Park".
the entire area, 14r. Hite again reported that the Planning Commission's
recommendation for rezoning pertains to only part of the original application
area , because the Commission is not willing to commit itself as to the whole
area at this time, but prefers to wait for the development of the area now
under consideration before considering the area to the north and east.
There were no objections registered to the proposed rezoning; and, inasmuch
as this matter had been discussed at some length at the last regular meeting
by the Council and without objection at that time, VanValkenburg offered
the following Ordinance, moving that Council dispense with second reading
thereof and adopt Ordinance as submitted:

that the dwelling built on Lot 20 (311 Madison Avenue) in 1934 extends one foot
over Lot 21's South Lot Line, and that to provide proper side-yard setback for both
the present dwelling and a proposed dwelling at #309, only 40 feet of Lot 21 could

a strip of right-of-way to Third Street to make it a 60-foot right-of-way, was
briefly reviewed by Mr. Hite.

STREET FROM RUTLEDGE AVENUE TO 250 FEET EAST, It was noted that the Official
Notice of Hearing had specified a proposed Sanitary Sewer Improvement in I'W.48th
St. from Rutledge Ave. to 347 Feet East," but that it is not necessary to take
the improvement more than 250 feet east of Rutledge because the dwelling at the
corner of W.48th St, and Brookside is being served from Brookside Avenue.
Estimate of Cost was given as $3,216.14, proposed to be assessed against two
lots, for $1,608.07 per Lot, There were no objections and no obj'ections had
been received prior to the Hearing.

the street, and it is impossible to pave before the drainage problem is resolved; the
solution having been disapproved by the Council at its meeting of April16. Mr. Hood
told Council that it is the particular block on Grove Street from Uycliffe to Tracy
which is causing the most trouble; that mail service has been cancelled at times,
that school children have been without bus service because it is impossible to
drive buses through this mud hole; that the population growth will soon demand the
surfacing of this particular street. Mr. Austin D. Norton, speaking for the Board
of Trustees of Good Samaritan Methodist Church located at corner of klycliffe Rd. and
Grove Street, told Council the Board heartily approves the request for the paving of
Grove Street; that there are now between 50 and 80 cars per week travelling this
street, and it is hoped there will soon be many more--that the Church does not wish
to be in a position of creating a situation which is not compatible with neighborhood
use of the property. Mr. Hood asked if that part of the proposed storm sewer which
goes under Grove Street could not be constructed, now, and capped off, if it cannot
be used or if the entire project cannot be put in at this time, in order that Grove
Street might be included in this present paving project.

of the owners in his area will object to paving.

fund to pay for the improvement during 1962, he has suggested that property owners
attempt to get along with an oiled street this year, with the understanding that
permanent surfacing will be done next year. Estimate is very high, because, under
State Aid specifications, street will be wider than normal, and specifications ape
for a much stronger street than village specs. for residential street. Mr. Rollie
Danielson, 5529 Benton, sponsor of the petition, showing pictures he had taken on
May 17, of a very bad, flooded and washed out street, asked that the Council use
General Fund moneys for one year, to make up the difference between State Aid
moneys available and the amount needed to improve the street.
because there is so much erosion the storm sewer cannot function to its full capacity.
He was informed that it is not the matter of using general fund moneys, but the matter
of commitments on State Aid work which precludes riork on Benton Avenue this year.
Estimate of Cost for the improvement on State Aid specifications is $38,430.76, for
$19.65 per Assessable Foot without State Aid; $5.00 per Assessable Foot with State
Aid.

COUNCIL RE-CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS ON SANITARY SEWER NO, C-1 EXTENSIOW AND
PARKWOOD KNOLLS AREA SANITARY SEWER--THIS TIME, TO JULY 23, Manager Hyde reviewed for Council and audience the status of these projects to date--the
action of the Council April 16, ordering the Parkwood Knolls Area Sanitiry
Sewer (Laterals), subject to approval of the C-1 Sanitary Trunk Sewer Extension
Project, and, after a long discussion and questions by Mr. Dick Kremer concerning
the route of the proposed Trunk Sewer Extension, continuing the April 16th
Hearing on the Trunk Sewer project.
Insofar as SANITARY SEWER NO. C-1 EXTENSION is concerned, Manager Hyde
reported that the Village Engineering Department has made itself available to
both Mr. Dick Kremer, and Orr-Schelen-Mayeron an d Associates since the Public
Hearing of ApriS 16; and that, pursuant to instructions by Mr, Kremer, the
consulting firm of Orr-Schelch-Mayeron has, just this past Friday,' made available
to the Village Engineering Department its report on two alternate routes, and
their respective estimates of cost.' With the aid of a large map, Mr, Hyde
pointed out the route proposed by 'the Village Engineers, at an Estimated Cost
of $398,025.39, and Alternates Nos. 1 and 2 by Orr-Schelen-Mayeron, at
respective Estimated Costs of $221,537.89 and $246,722.30,
Village has not had too much time since last Friday to go over all points of
difference, but that it becomes generally apparant that the two basic differences
between Village and Orr-Schelen engineering lie in route and specifications, Mr.
Hyde told Council that Village plans and specifications are designed to prevent
infiltration of ground water into the sanitary sewer insofar as is possible;
that the Village route is "high and dry", while the Om-Schelen route is "low
and wet".
the Village specs call for a continuous concrete trestle for the pipe, with
posts and pilings at four-foot intervals, Nhereas the Orr-Schelen plans call for
single post supports every eight feet, with a very limited amount of cradle under
*he pipe.
project was $437,Q00; and that the Village Engineering Estimate for the Alternate
No. 2 Route, with Village specifications, came to approximately $400,000.
told the group present he believes that Alternate No, 1, which involves crossing
Nine-Mile Creek twice, should not be considered--but that the Village is willing
to give Orr-Schelen-Ma eron the e t&e joh of engineering C-1 Sanitary Trunk
Sewer Extension on/h~g%%%i%eo~o, 5 route, including supervision and inspection
of construction, providing Orr-Schelen will guarantee that the cost of this
construction will not run more than a reasonable amount over the estimate they
have presented for this Hearing, and providing they will guarantee that their
specifications will meet a standard for infiltration prevention, and providipg,
of course, that their services may be had for standard engineering rates.
opened the arguments for the opposition to both C-1 Sanitary Trunk Sewer Extension
and the Parkwood Knolls Area Lateral Sewer,
followed, the C-1 Extension costs a lot of money, blr, Spring suggested that if
it is possible this plan be deferred until plans are made to plat the whole area.
As to the Parkwood Knolls area, he told the Council that there is no water in the
area at this time, and that if sanitary sewer laterals could be constructed
simultaneously with water laterals it would be much more economical for all
concerned. Mr. Spring presented a map colored as the result of petition (which he
also submitted), showing 69% of Parkwood Knolls residents in opposition to the
plan, and 85% of owners of unplatted properties in opposition to the C-1 Trunk.
As to the Parkwood Knolls laterals, Mr. Spring asked, "Is there actually a
sanitary problem, or can it be corrected?"
sewage problems can be corrected privately, rather than by a public sewage system,
Mr, Spring presented the report of Twin City Testing and Engineering Laboratory,
Inc. on "surfactant" tests made at five locations in the north and south ponds
in the area (3 at North Pond j 2 at South Pond), which Mr. Spring. read in some
detail, and which showed some evidence of surfactant in the North pond, but not
sufficient surfactant to prove serious, according to the report.

that because of the urgency of having the property developed, they are asking that
the petitioned improvements be approved tonight, and that contract be awarded for

Manager Hyde then reported that the Rauenhorst Company has suggested several
modifications in Village Ordinance Nor 263, as applicable to development of a non-
residential subdivision, the Company's suggestions being as follows:
The assessment term be changed from 3 to 10 years.
Prepayment of special assessments when title is transferred not be
required if annual payment surety can still be applied.
Municipal bonds be assigned as surety in lieu of bond.
If municipal bonds ar cash are assigned as surety, that such surety
Wr. Hyde told Council, in discussion with Planning Director Hite and Finance Director
Dalen, it has been agreed that there is some merit to the Rauenhorst suggestions, but
that it is felt that Edinz should not increase its assessment term fo$ non-residential
developments beyond the term required for residential developments.
for modifications in Village Ordinance No, 263, were as follows:

His recommendations

2.
3.
4.
The assessment term be changed from 3-to 5 years, for both residential
and non-residential developments. (This recommendation coming as the result
of 1.i~. Dalen's opinion that this term increase would mean little to the
potential financial condition of the Village providing there is surety
for payment)
Prepayment of special assessments in other than single family developments
not be'required when title is transferred, providing surety is still appli-
cable to remaining annual assessment levies. (Byyer protection would not seem
necessary in either commercial or industrial subdivisions, where a buyer may
actually prefer for tax purposes to make special assessment payments) .
tIunicipa1 bonds or cash be accepted for surety if assigned to Village for
this purpose.
Requirement that when municipal bonds or cash are assigned as surety, such
surety be no-t: less than 75% of outstandina improvement cost.
