Xerxes Avenue and York Avenue*
48 light fixtures in the area north of SoutndaLe, bounded by France Avenue, Xerxes
Avenue, the Crosstown and West 66th Street. Public Hearing notices were based on
an extimated cost of $730 per fixture, but bids received this morning result in a
cost of $976 for each fixture. Mr, Hite advised that because of the high bids, he
would recommend that the project be dropped, but thought that iyterest of property
owners should be further explored. Mra Earl Brooks, owner of Lot 9, BLock 2, Cassin's
Replat, inquired why ornamental street lights were necessary,
Mr, Hite that this type of lighting had been requested by Mrr Roy Peterson, developer
of Cassin's Replat, and by the Colony Apartment owners in an attempt to improve the
appearance in the area. The owner of Lot 9, Block 2, Cassin's Replat stated that he
believes that most property owners would object to the high bid,
that Northern States Power has indicated that a Limited number of temporary fixtures
might be installed for the winter, but that this type of lighting would not be
considered adequate,

receive no benefit from the storm sewer. Mr. VanValkenburg stated that he desired to read
to the persons in the audience a portion of a special assessment policy statement relating
to storm sewers. He called attention to the fact that this statement of policy applied
not only to the Storm Sewer Improvement No. 90, but also to the other storm sewers that
were to be considered that evening.
Mr. Hyde presented Analysis of
Mr. Hite adwised that the
Trustee VanValkenburg moved for approval
Mr. Mahoney further stated that Rosemary Lane properties
He read that statement of policy as follows:
"In Edina, storm sewer improvements historically have been financed by special
assessments against benefited property in the area served by the particular storm
sewer improvement rather than by payment from general funds of the Village.
theory is that at some time all property within Edina will be served by storm
sewers to carry off accumulations of surface water and that since it is the
development of property which both contributes to the accumulation of surface water
and necessitates its removal, all property should bear the cost of the removal of
the surface water.
for storm sewers, it is felt, would penalize property which has already been assessed
for storm sewer improvements by giving a "free ride" to property not yet so served.
It should be recognized that a storm sewer improvement will benefit property in
other ways than the obvious one of removing surface water from areas where it used
to accumulate. Property will also be benefited by.(l) faster and more orderly run
off of water from streets in the areas served by the sewer; (2) savings on street
maintenance and replacement; .(3) prevention of breakdowns in utility service caused
by flooding; (4) elimination of stagnant ponds and the concomitant dangers to health
and safety; and (5) improvement of the appearance of the neighborhood by permitting
growth and maintenance of grass and gardens in former ponding areas.
to take all factors of benefit into account and to assess the benefited property in
accordance with the benefits derived from the improvement.
It may be argued that the higher ground in a drainage area receives less benefit
than the lower land, and should therefore be assessed at a lower rate.
may be controlling in a rural situation, but should .not be considered controlling
in an urban situation. In the latter situation, the elevations and uses of land
are subject to change, the tendency is toward ever more intensive development of
the land, and buildings are located close to each other."
Mr. VanValkenburg then stated that the statement of policy that he had read was an attempt
to reduce to wri&ing some of the procedures followed in assessing.
Village felt that drainage was not the sole consideration but that there are other benefits
involved; that certainly the persons on high land don't have water standing on their lots
but that there are other benefits determining whether the lot should or should not be
assessed.
Mr. Mahoney as well as Messrs. Thomas E. Ashley, 6728 Rosemary Lane; James L. McLaughlin,
6724 Rosemary Lane and Winston R. Wallin, 6720 Rosemary Lane, all. stated that they had
received no mailed notice of this assessment hearing.
they objected to the project on the grounds that it does not serve a public purpose.
were advised by Village Attorney Schwartzbauer that the improvement hearing was the time
when objections should have been made to the project and that the only objections pertinent
at this hearing are objections to the assessments. In view of the fact that some of the
property owners had indicated that they had failed to receive "Notice of Assessment
Hearing," Trustee VanValkenburg offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:

Mr. Floren's office and that the p6licy statement had been several years in the

was not in accordance with the statute, the Village would not be proposing it.
Mr. Floren claimed that the Council was disregarding the Village Attorney's advice.
He stated that this assessment district was not made in accordance with the Village's
policy as reduced to writing. Mr. Schwartzbauer stated that the policy statement that
Mr. VanValkenburg had read is one that Mr. Whitlock and Mr. Spencer worked on for some
period of time and that it expressed their legal views. He stated that Mr. Floren's
insinuation that the Village is deliberately disregarding the advice of its attorney
could not be further from the truth.
started the practice of paying for all storm sewers on a general fund basis, that
for many years the persons who are not proposed to be assessed would have paid in their
Village tax rate a share of all of the storm sewers in town; that 60% of the developed
area of Edina already has storm sewers and that the cost over the last ten years has
been approximately 2-1/2 million dollars; and that had that practice been followed,
about one-third or one-fourth of the present general fund tax levy would be for financing
these sewers and that research would probably disclose that the Village's practices had
been cheaper in the long run than spreading the costs over the entire Village.
Mr. Bredesen stated that it is not true that the Council is not following the Village
attorney's advice and that as far as he was concerned, he thought Council should adopt
the resolution and order the assessment. Mr. Lyle Gilberg claimed that the people on
the east side of Warren Avenue seldom are assessed for sewers, but the people on his
side, the west side,-always get assessed, that he has five sewers on his property right
now. Mr. Hite pointed out that he had been assessed for only one storm sewer and at
the rate of $0.01516 while the property across the street had been assessed at the
rate of $0.07614 per square foot.

drainage way which was blocked initially by the construction of Dundee Road. Mr. Holl
further stated that records will confirm that tests made in 1957 by a soil testing and

residential construction after 35 foot cores indicated a silt-like bottomless basin at
the property upon which the house at 5520 Dundee Road was constructed.

properties at 5516 and 5520 Dundee Road against those two property owners and to pay
the additional cost from General Funds.
that of the Holls is assessed for over half of the cost of the project. Mr. Hite stated
that originally properties to the north wece also proposed to be assessed and that these
properties were removed from the assessment district at the Improvement Hearing because it was claimed that they were self-contained from a topographical standpoint. However,
in April, 1965, the waters in this area did reach sufficient height to overflow and
there may now be a basis for expanding the assessment district.
