PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT NO. BA-50 CONTINUED

in Wycliffe Road and Grove Street in Edina Highlands Lakeside Addition,was called
by Mayor Bredesen.
Village by Good Samaritan Methodist Church for part of Wycliffe Road, on condition
that the Church be assessed for no street improvements except Curb and Gutter; and
the subsequent referral of easement to Village Attorney €or his opinion as to its
validity.
the easement is a valid one and that, therefore, the Church property cannot be
assessed for the street surfacing abutting its Wycliffe Road tract; that had the
easement been condemned, costs of condemnation and condemnation award could have
been assessed against both benefited properties--Church and Edina Highlands Lakeside
Addition properties. He added that because the easement was not condemned there is
no real way of determining whether condemnation award would have exceeded, equalled,
or would have been less than that amount proposed to be assessed against the Church
for the cost of the curb and gutter portion of the improvement; and that thsquestion
as to whether the amount which would normally have been assessed to the Church for
street surfacing should be assessed against the owners of the balance of the property
within the scope of the improvement is within the Council's prerogatives-that it
comes back to the Council to decide whether the amount of the street assessment is
equal to what condemnation awmd would have been.
for the property owners, asked that action be tabled for two weeks, in order that
he might secure additional information. Manager Hyde reviewed the various methods
of assessment contemplated by the Council ($10.77 per Assessable Foot, with Church
paying 1/3 Wycliffe Road footage for both Curb and Gutter and Surface; $9.52 with
Church paying full Wycliffe Road frontage for Curb and Gutter only; and $8.44 with
Church paying
of these methods being unacceptable because of terms of easement). Mr. Hyde added
that the original petitioners for the street improvement had agreed to assessment
against, Edina Highlands Lakeside Addition properties for the Church's share of the
street surfacing. Mr. McGannon againwequested a two weeks' continuance of Hearing,
and VanValkenburg so moped.

of this, project, including the Club House,
the Council before this meeting,
increase over estimate is due to change in plans for the Clubhouse, from that
of a 5,000 Sq.Ft. building to one of some 8,000 Sq,Ft.; that it is contemplated
that building and fixtures will be in the neighborhood of $158,000, as compared
with original estimate of $100,000 . Flr. Stevens reported that in considering
how to proceed from this point, the Board has examined its current construction .
program, estimated at $110,000, and feels it would be better to curtail 1964
construction and transfer the needed $65,000 from construction to the golf course
than to attempt to shrink the cost of the house and then be forced to make early
additions at a greater cost. He added that 1963 park development accomplishments
have been sufficiently major so that 1964 developments can be curtailed if
necessary; that in 1963 four parks have been put into operation, three tennis
courts constructed, and playground apparatus installed at thirteen locations.
Mr. Stevens said that if Council concurs in the Board's suggestions as set
forth above, the Board would like to take bids on the Club House late in November--
the 21st if possible--with construction to start on the 30th and be completed by
July 1, 1964; that, taking the optimistic view, it is felt that by July 1, 1964
the'village can have a good golf course facility. Playor Bredesen inquired as to
accuracy of estimate, suggesting that if bids do exceed estimate, the Board and
the Council "back off and start over".
costs ($58,000) incupred to date have actually been for development of "Hays Farm
Park" rather than the golf course, being for perimeter roads making the park
portion of the farm accessible to the public. Finance Director Dalen reported
that suggested funds transfer will not mean a curtailment of the park development/
for the reasons that the Valley View School Park Site has not materialized and
several developments.schedu1ed for 1964 have been accomplished in 1963, Mayor
Bredesen told Mr. Stevens he believes the Village should proceed to take bids,
but with the understanding that if bids are not in line with estimate bids must
be rejected and changes in plans, effected,
and Village will take bids on Club House in November. (NOTE:
