Mr. Dunn recalled that, at the meeting of March 10, 1975, these hearings had
been continued to July 7, 1975, but that date had beec changed to this meeting
because of conflicts with vacation schedules of residents. Mr. Dunn referred
to the survey sent out in May by the Morningside Community Council and said that
formal hearings
improvements affecting the same properties, hearings were conducted concurrently.
Mr. Leonard Fernelius, President of the Morningside Association, said that there
had been a 60% return on the 600 questionnaires sent out to owners of affected
properties, an6 advised that the association is not taking a position on the
improvements at this time.
'questionnaire indicating that 4% believed that the storm sewer is clearly needed,
24% believed that the water mains should be replaced, 33% believed that the
streets should be resurfaced, 26% believed that curbs and gutters should be
replaced or installed, 13% believed that sidewalks should be replaced or
installed and that 29% believed that improv%d lighting is needed. Mr. Ronald
Ringling, 4238 Crocker Ave., and Chairman of the City Services Committee,
along with a gentleman who lives at 4216 Grimes Ave., objected in the delay in
the hearings, stating that the sidewalks are the only improvement that they
wanted held over.
as the result of the questionnaire had not been included in the March hearing
and that it is now being recommended that the storm sewer be reexamined. Mr.
Dunn said that the total project should be known before starting any one part.
Plr. Rent Bank, 4022 W. 44th St., asked if the water main could be installed at
the same time as the curb and gutter. A gentleman in the audience who ,lives on
. a street that has St. Louis Park water, said that he is concerned about the low
water pressure, particularly in event of a fire, and urned that the water main
be expedited. k resident who lives at 4417 Morningside Road said that he some-
times has no water on his second floor in the summer. Mr. Dunn said that there
is a possibility that the water main could be installed this year but that the
other improvements wouid have to wait until next year. Mr. Hyde said that the
Fire Department has advised him that, even though the water mains are reduced
in capacity, fire protection is adequate. to prevent additional property damage.
Mr. Dunn explained that the water nain is not being considered at this time be-
cause the study of the water problems has not been completed as yet.
advised that financing of the water main has not yet been decided. Mr. Jack
Cracraft, 4227 Alden Drive, recommended that improvements be done on a "spot
basis where needed", rather than on a community-wide basis. Mr. Vincent BOR-

to have all of the improvements at once.

Mr. Hyde recalled that th-is hearing had been called as a result oE a petition for
storm sewer from the owners of 4622 Bruce Ave., and that a hearing had origin-
ally been heid on October 21, 1974 and continued to November 5 and November 18,

for extraordinary benefits in addition to the general assessment for all pro-
perties. Nr. Hyde showed pictures showing flooding conditions in the back yards
of 4620 and 4622 Bruce Avenue. Mr. Dunn pointed out one problem is that the
driveway at 4622 Bruce Avenue is higher than the property at 4620 Bruce Avenue
and that the proposed storm sewer would not correct this.

original plan be used with the installation of an additional drain between the

that this caused additional drainage problems. lfr. Carl Strunk, 4619 Casco Ave.,
suggested that rats might exist in a stagnant sewer pipe. t€r. Jack Benz, 4623
Casco Ave., said that he cannot see V7ht the problem is. In response to Council-

VICTORSEN'S TIMBERVIEW ADDITION GRANTED PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL. Affidavits of
notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Mr. Luce presented Victorsen's Timberview Addition for preliminary plat approval,
noting that this property is generally located at the Southwest corner of the
Crosstown Highway and Gleason Road. He advised that Planning Commission had rec-
ommended approval, subject to the dedication of Outlot A for park purposes and
that the Park Board had recommended that the proponent also dedicate 5% in cash
inasmuch as total use of the land had been achieved. Dr. Henry Buchwald, 6808 -
Margaretts Lane, was told that 140 apartment units have been approved for the
property, that the parkland dedication would be made in perpetuity and that the
public would have the right to use Arrowhead Lake.
Rosland that the Park Board had never given any consideration to constructing
any facility on Arrowhead Lake.
the record: 1) Residents continue to oppose construction of 140 units on the
site, having relied on single family zoning when their property ~7as purchased,
and that they belleve that the proposed development will lower the value of their
property; Mr. Victorsen purchased the property knowing that it was zoned for
single family development; 3) Residents will initiate court action if 140 apart-
ments are permitted on the site.
the Park Board that a 5% cash dedication be required in addition to the dedication
of Outlot A. Xr. Erickson explained that the ordinance allows this approach, with
Outlot A considered set aside under the PRD zoning and that since the land density
tTas transferred to the buildable portion, Mr. Victorsen has full use of the total
area and, in essence has given up nothing in total land value. Comcilman Courtney
