WAY. DALE DRIVE, RIDGE PLACE. HILLTOP LANE) Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved
and ordered placed on file.
Presentation bv Enaineer
Engineer Hoffman informed Council the proposed improvement is part of the City's ongoing renovation
of neighborhood streets. Many neighborhood streets systems are thirty to fifty years old. It is no longer
cost effective to continue patching, seal coating or overlaying these streets. Previous projects used
either total reconstruction as in the Morningside area in the late ~O'S, or remilling and overlay with new
curb and gutter as in County Club District in the early 70's. This improvement project proposes to use
a third type of street reconstruction called full depth reclamation.
IMPROVEMENT A-I80 (SUNNYSLOPE ROAD EAST. SUNNYSLOPE ROAD WEST. WOODHILL
I
Engineer Hoffman explained full depth reclamation is a technique where the full flexible pavement section
and a predetermined portion of the underlying materials are uniformly crushed, pulverized and blended,
resulting in a stabilized base course. A new bituminous surface is then laid over the recycled base
course. Last year a test section of Woodhill Way was constructed using full depth reclamation. Braun
Intertec, a consulting engineering firm, evaluated the test section. Their test results showed the test
section performed as expected and would provide a stable neighborhood street. Full depth reclamation
reconstruction results in cost savings of approximately 50 percent over traditional street reconstruction
methods. In addition, construction time is greatly reduced since projects can usually be completed in
approximately a week's time.
Engineer Hoffman continued that before the street reconstruction, the City would .repair some catch
basins and manholes. These items would be paid for from Utility Funds.
Engineer Hoffman stated the proposed renovation area includes Sunnyslope Road East, Sunnyslope
Road West, Woodhill Way, Dale Drive, Ridge Place and Hilltop Lane. The total estimated street
reconstruction cost is $1 93,002.49. The estimate cost per lot (area assessment) is $2,643.86. The
assessments would extend over a ten year term. The test section Woodhill Way was paid for by the
Page 1
MinuteslEdina Citv CouncillMav 6.1996
movie company that damaged the street during the filming of Beautiful Girls. Staff recommends
Woodhill Way be included in the assessment so the benefit of the test section is shared by the entire
neighborhood.
Public Comment
Mayor Richards noted receipt of Dr. William Kimber‘s letter and asked Engineer Hoffman to respond
to Dr. Kimber‘s questions which included: status of underground utilities affecting the streets, storm
sewer problem at the bottom of hill on East Sunnyslope, whether or not the Beautiful Girls‘ movie
company paid for damage to Woodhill Way, and lastly curb and gutter in the area. Engineer Hoffman
responded the City will make sure the utility structures are repaired and paid for by Utility Funds. He
added the movie company paid for the repair of Woodhill Way and concluded that only properties
with existing curb and gutter would have curb and gutter replaced.
Jack Hodne, 4824 West Sunnyslope Road, presented a petition in opposition of Improvement No.
A-I 80. Mr. Hodne read the petition “We the undersigned being residents of Sunnyslope Addition do
hereby protest the proposed improvement A-I 80. We feel the streets are basically sound and do not
warrant being torn up and resurfaced as proposed. There are a few places that need spot repair.
This with a seal coat over all would bring them to excellent condition for the neighborhood where
there is no heavy or through traffic.” Mr. Hodne reported the following petition results based on 72
residents: 5 residents were in favor of the project, 5 were undecided, 7 were not at home, and 55
would request the City not undertake the project. Mr. Hodne stated the petition response speaks for
itself with 85% of the residents opposed to the project.
Jim Gray, 4909 East Sunnyslope Road, stated his opinion that there is no need for total
reconstruction of the streets at this time. Streets around his home seem to be in pretty good shape.
Jack Hodne 4824 West Sunnyslope Road asked about the curb and gutter replacement. He stated
there are only 8 property owners with curb and gutter. The proposed project is asking 64 property
owners to pick up the tab for the 8 property owners with curb and gutter.
Jack Rice, 4801 Hilltop Lane, expressed his surprise at the petition results. He was pleased to
receive notice of improvement. Mr. Rice stated his belief that the precarious street condition was
obvious. He expressed concern over the age of the neighborhood streets, and his desire to maintain
property values by maintaining street condition. Mr. Rice added his positive experience with staff
members’ expertise as a Council member. In his experience projects were completed on time,
property restored and in his opinion staff recommendation should not be taken lightly. Mr. Rice urged
Council to order the proposed improvement project.
Tom Cousins, 4800 West Sunnyslope Road, asked when the last seal coating was done in this area.
The streets currently seem to be in a similar condition as before the last seal coat. Mr. Cousins
suggested seal coating would be a good thing to look at again. Engineer Hoffman responded the last
seal coating was approximately ten years ago.
John Kvam, 4925 East Sunnyslope Road, agreed the neighborhood streets appear to be in the same
condition they were before the last seal coating. How many roads are annually seal coated?
Engineer Hoffman replied approximately 15 miles of 140 asphalt roads are seal coated annually, and
streets are seal coated approximately every ten years.

George Topar, 5709 Kemrich, stated he is not involved in the proposed improvement area, but
suggested Council consider extending the term of the assessment for 35-40 years.
Cheryl Reinersten, 4813 West Sunnyslope Road, stated there are many different sized lots in the
area. Speaking for herself, Ms. Runersten explained she was willing to pay her 1/73 without asking
her neighbors to pay extra for curb and gutter. The residents with curb and gutter need it because
of the topography of the area.
Mayor Richards asked how much of the total project cost would be used to repair the curb and gutter.
Engineer Hoffman replied approximately $10,000 would be needed for curb and gutter repair.
Member Smith asked the Engineer to respond to Mr. Cousins’ request for seal coating at this time.
Engineer Hoffman stated there is more cracking in the street now as opposed to ten years. Staff has
identified problem areas and believes investing more maintenance dollars in the identified problem
areas is not cost effective. However, these “problems areas” would be ideal for the reclamation
technique.
Member Maetzold asked if the City has a policy of reviewing neighborhood streets and reconstructing
as necessary in advance of a total breakdown? Engineer Hoffman replied the date of the last seal
coating triggers a review of the streets. Staff determines the most efficient method of repair.
Engineer Hoffman concluded that street reconstruction should take place before major deterioration
occurs.
Member Kelly stated her neighborhood, (Hilldale Area) went through this process two weeks ago.
Member Kelly agreed with Mr. Rice that reconstructing streets alleviate problems with maintenance
and keeps property values up, but expressed concern when 55 property owners are opposed to the
project.
Mayor Richards expressed his opinion that if the City has a policy of reviewing and reconstruction
as shown by previous projects this project should move forward. If the project is not approved Mayor
Richards does not feel any further general fund maintenance dollars should be expended in the area.
Mayor Richards added the cost of the curb and gutter could be broken out and assessed to the
benefitted properties.
Member Smith expressed his support of the project while acknowledging the residents concerns.
Member Smith asked the Engineer to respond to Mr. Topar’s suggestion of extending the
assessment for thirty years. Member Smith asked if the curb and gutter could be left alone and the
street still reconstructed. Engineer Hoffman replied ten years has been used as a standard for other
projects, however, in Morningside twenty years was the term. Minnesota Statute allows a maximum
term of thirty years for a special assessment. This decision can be made at the assessment hearing
after completion of the project. Engineer Hoffman added curb and gutter could be left alone, but he
would not recommend this course of action.
Jack Hodne, 4824 West Sunnyslope, asked Council to make sure the final asphalt looks better than
the test section on Hilltop Lane. Mr. Hodne withdrew his previous request to assess curb and gutter
separately. Engineer Hoffman agreed the test section shows seams.

Engineer Hoffman informed the Council when William Leadens, 5917 Amy Drive, sold his home the
easement in question was discovered. Both staff and the utility companies have reviewed the
request. During their review staff found a structure located in the north part of the easement.
Therefore, staff is recommending a partial release of the easement keeping the northerly forty feet
intact.

Mayor Richards called for public comment on the vacation request. No comment or objection was
. heard.
Member Smith moved adoption of the following resolution:
RESOLUTION VACATING EASEMENT

BID AWARDED FOR COLD WATER METER REPLACEMENT AND RADIO READING DEVICE
INSTALLATION Director of Public Works Hoffman noted on April 15, 1996, staff was directed to
present a comprehensive report on the replacing of cold water meters and the addition of radio
reading devices to the utility meter system. He elaborated during the 1980's, staff researched meter
accuracy. After monitoring the system, staff recommended a water rate study be completed. The
subsequent study indicated the need for water rate increases to develop necessary revenue to
conduct infrastructure upgrades and replacements. A new rate structure was initiated January I ,
1995. Results to date indicate sufficient funding is being developed to initiate the Utility Improvement
Plan.
Director Hoffman explained the five major elements of the plan:
I.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Upgrading meters and meter reading to a monthly billing system;
Overhauling five sanitary sewer lift stations;
Overhauling four iron removal water treatment plants;
Continuing to repaint and rehabilitate water towers on a regular basis; and
Upgrading existing supervisory control and date acquisition system which is 1973
vintage and is not effective in managing the system.
Implementing the eight year Plan, in 1995 staff renovated the Gleason water tower for approximately
$350,000.00. Also during 1995, staff reviewed potential systems to use with our metering systems
and concluded a radio reading device versus phone lines would be the most cost effective.
Staff recommended the meter program because of the age of the existing meter system. Revenue
should increase a minimum of five percent or $300,000 per year with no water rate change. Analysis
indicates half of all residential meters need replacement due to age. A goal of the program is getting
on a twenty year meter replacement rotation. Radio reading technology is a cost effective way to
produce an accurate monthly billing system and has the potential for developing an electronic bill
paying.
Current revenues support using the three year change-out program without any need to use bonding
or other borrowing to accomplish the program. Director Hoffman stated staff recommends the project
go forward as bid.
I Following a brief Council discussion, Member Smith made a motion for award of bid for cold
water meter replacements and radio reading devices installation to sole bidder, Hydro Supply
Company at $2,423,084.00. Motion seconded by Member Maetzold.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURE OF STATE AID FUNDS FOR YORK AVENUE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Engineer Hoffman informed Council a resolution authorizing use of
municipal state aid funds is necessary in order to expend the funds for the York Avenue
Improvement. Staff recommends an amount up to $400,000 be authorized for York Avenue
Improvement Project S.A.P. 120-020-31. This amount should be adequate because a portion of
funds for the project will come from special assessments to the benefitted property owners.
Member Smith introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, it has been deemed advisable and necessary for the City of Edina to participate
in the cost of a construction project located on C.S.A.H. No. 31 within the limits of said
