COUNCIL LEVIES ASSESSMENT FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT NO. BA-50. Public Hearing, continued
from several previous meetings, on the Proposed Assessment for Street Improvement No.
BA-50--the construction of Asphalt Concrete Paving with Curb and Gutter in Wycliffe
Road and Grove Street in Edina Highlands Lakeside Addition, was called as the first
matter on the agenda.
the Village Attorney's opinion on the legality of assessing Merold Drive (also in
Edina Highlands Lakeside Addition) for a portion of this improvement, inasmuch as
Wycliffe Road and Grove Street residents feel they are being over-assessed because
the Good Samaritan Methodist Church cannot be assessed for street surfacing.
Hyde read Attorney DeForest Spencer's letter, which informed Council that while the
statutes permit deferred assessments for sewer and water, they do not- give authority
for such assessments for street improvements; that, because Merold Drive was not
included in the Notice of Assessment Hearing it is most doubtful that this property
canmow be assessed. E4r. Spencer told Council that on a "re-assessment" (as the
result of a Court directive) iS is possible, but not probable, that Merold Drive
could be included as a part of the benefited area.
Mr. Hyde told Council the Estimate of Cost given at the Improvement Hearing was
$10.77 per Assessable Foot; that when costs were computed, and before it was
discovered that Church could not be assessed for the Asphalt Paving portion, cost
was computed at $9.52 per assessable foot; that, now, if the Church is assessed for
its full footage for Curb and Gutter only, the Church will be assessed at $3.47 per
Assessable Foot for its full 410 feet ($1,422.70), and the balance of the area
will pay $9.48 per Assessable Foot.. Residents had asked that Village General Fund
assume part of the cost of this improvement inasmuch as the Church had been exempted
from assessment as part of its dedication of the land to the Village; and there was
some discussion at this meeting relative to this suggestion, but it was felt that,
had the Church's 30-foot strip been purchased outright, purchase cost assessable
to the street improvement would have been high; that the Village has no authority'. .

the residential properties abutting these streets.

COUNCIL CONTINUES TO DECEMBER 16, THE PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION FOR PEREiIIT TO PLAT
40-FOOT LOT--C.W. ROGNAS. Mr. Hite informed Council that the Planning Commission
has recommended favorably upon Mr, Rognas' request to plat a 40-foot lot facing
Kellogg Avenue in Fairfax Addition; that Fairfax Addition was platted into 50afoot
lots originally and Mr. Rognas, one of the early builders in this plat, built on
two lots; that it is now his proposal to move his garage to behind his home on
Lot 13, thus creating a 40-foot lot facing Kellogg on the remainder of Lot 14.
Hite added that three persons in the immediate neighborhood had not been notified of
this Hearing tonight, but suggested that unless an objection is registered at the
Hearing the Council approve Mr. Rognas' request subject to his obtaining assent from
these three property owners facing his property. Hr. D. Lb Hargreaves, 6037 Kellogg,
owner of the property adjacent to the proposed 40-foot lot, objected to 14r. Rognas'
proposal, saying he believes that inasmuch as the majority of the lots are 50 feet
wide, a 40-foot lot will in no way enhance the neighborhood,
for continuance of the Public Hearing to December 16, with a directive to Mr. Hite
to have all necessary persons notified.

the area, and because the addition of a tract immediately south of tne area
now under negotiation for purchase would improve park development by providing
additional street access, the Park Board proposes to trade the 154.72-foot-wide
fract (whichwill comprise two buildable lots) for Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, The
Heights Third Addition, said lots totalling 180.77 feet in width and adjoining
both the proposed purchase and that tract East of Hillside Lane already owned
