Heogg 5120 Benton Avenuej­ Edina 24g Minnesota. .Dear Cliffs You have asked for. - information concerning the status of Benton Avenue, insofar as being a.State Aid road. I regret the fact that I was unable to deeply to you immediately but in order to give.you the full historyi it was necessary to spend several hours doing research on the situation. You may recall that in the'fall,of 1956p a State constitutional amendment was passed by the voters# which allowred.the sharing of State gasoline tax revenues with municipalities. This brought Minnesota more in line with distribution of the gasoline tax insofar as the general pattern throughout the United States is concerned., By far$ the majority, of the States have sheered gasoline tax receipts with municipalities for many yearsa. The 1957 legislature then passed the neces- sary enabling laws and the State'Highway Department, set up the rules and regula- tions for the distribution of the money directly to the municipalities. The formula,for splitting was quite involved and I don't think we need to go into that at this time.. A considerable amount of bureaucracy entered into the regula- tions with 'a resulting series of restrictive rules. They are not quite as bad as ,the ones`in..Illinois and not Half as liberal as the ones in Wisconsin, with both of which I have had previous experience. The laws and regulations provide generally "that each municipality %vould•have a certain number of miles of local.streets which would be considered for eligibility as Municipal -State Aid roads. During the spring and summer of 1957, the Village worked on developing the Municipal -State Aid road system for Edina in accordance with the laws and regulations, and on August 12, 19579 what we considered to be a well- thought out and duly considered plan was presented to the Council for approval. This provided for a total of 22.9 miles on the State Aid system and included Benton Avenues -Tracy to State-Highway #100; along with about twenty other streets,.in an attempt to provide a reasonable network of local through streets connecting State highways and County highways. It was necessary to develop this system in order to be eligible to receive the monies from the State. Considerable publicity was given the Edina situation in the Courier during a period of several weeks when the plan was being formulated and there was'also general publicity in the metropolitan press concerning the,.whole situation. ' The first question you ask was why Benton was made a State Aid road without the residents being notified? The first reason was because the fact that we felt that anyone interested in the problem would have noticed the publicity in the papers. Secondly, with all of the public hearings and various road improvements we have had during the'past three years, the problem has been mentioned at several of them and we'felt.that the public, generally# was aware or could have been# aware of the prob- lem. No public hearing.'was required by the legislation prior to making.a local street a Municipal -State Aid road. Als- Hess - page 2 1 -6 -59 You state in your second point that you understand that once Normandale has been improved# there will be no.access from Eden Avenue to 62nd Street traffic interchange. This is incorrect. The last proposed plan the State Highway Department submitted to us shores a diamond interchange at Benton Avenue to provide access to the school proper - ties. You have asked what proportion of the cost you.will bear for future improvement of the portion of Benton Avenue on which you live. At the Council meeting of August 110 19589 on that portion of Benton Avenue from 100 to Tingdale Avenue, which is now programmed for blacktopping and curb.and gutter, it was decided assessments would be levied for the full cost of.normal blacktop and half.the cost of curb and gutter. This is the. same as was decided for Southview Lane from Highway 100 to Concord Avenue. 'You also asked if it is necessary that you accept these "benefits" and what legal recourse you have to prevent all or part of them. I think you are fully familiar with the established procedure of the Council in regard to.improvements. We have a hearing before the wick is done on the estimated cost and then when the Work is com- pleteds we have another hearing,on the actual costs While the Council has the author- ity to hold•hearings on its own motion and order improvements in; even without a petition from abutting property ownerss I think you are well aware that the Councilo generally# has attempted to provide the facilities needed by the Village-as a whole and also to accommodate the wishes of the immediately effected property owners. as much as possibly.can.be done. Actually, I think a,fair analysis of -our street situa- tion would indicate that maybe bo a of the reaeons we.received a little publicity last fall about streets was because the Village had aceeded•too much to the wishes of bepefited property ovineres on cezialn improvementse rather than ordering the job done as it should have been done and charging the cost necessary to the affected-property owners. Parenthetically# perhaps, one of the reasons I didn't answer your letter earlier# was because I was just a little bit unhappy at having to justify a program which we think will be of considerable value to the Village and will get us out of some of the chuck holed streets. the cannot expect to have a reasonable traffic pattern and good sur- faced streets if we adopt an ostrich attitude toward the facts of life. It should be apparent to everyone that in a community of some sixteen square miles, the State and County highways alone will not suffice to handle traffic needs and desires# either today or in the future. We must have a system of local streets to carry purely local traffic where it wants to go. It is unfortunates of,course, that prior to the building of the-first house in Edina, a complete system was not laid•out. This was manifestly impractical and even today it is somewhat impractical to try to decide where future streets in areas to be subdivided shall be built, because the Village cannot foresee how much land•in any one section is going to be developed at any one time, nor can we tell how many owners are going to be.involved or how much cooperation we can get among the owners on the land to be subdivided. We do have general patterns now for exten- sions of present major local streets in new areas as the new areas are developed. This we have had only for about two years now. As the matter now stands, Benton Avenue will be curbed and guttered and blacktopped from Highway,100 to Tingdale next year. Southview Lane will be similarly improved. tJb also hope to resurface PJooddale Avenue from 50th Street to Tower. The apportion- ment to the Village of State gasoline tax money for last year was $89#589.n We,_arbi- trarily took $20,300 for maintenance in order to stabilize the Village tax rates leaving $69,289 for construction. WO' are limited somewhat by the regulations as to how much we can take for'maintenence. Many of the suburbs have taken nothing of the gas tax for-maintenance-and have put it all on.construction. I don't think this is quite in keeping with the spirit of the legislation. Richfield, for examples used all of its 1958 allocation to pay its share of the paving and widening of 66th Street from Lyndale Avenue west to Penn. Hess - page 3 1 -6 -59 I would be very happy to have you drop in some day and we can go over the map which shows the State Aid system for Edina. I think you will agree, after you look at it, that Benton Avenue is a logical choice for a local through street. It is the only street that goes through from Highway 100 to Tracy between 63rd and 50th street, a distance of about 11 P. miles. M- en considered along with Southfiew Lane and 56th street, it becomes a route from the east limit -of the Village at Xerxes to Tracy at present and we would hope that as land west of Tracy becomes developed, it would be oxtended farther west. Certainly Grove streets !,which ends at Tingdale and does not have direct access to 100 and 60th street, which runs only from 100 to Hansen Road, are not suitable. In drawing up the plan, we considered the topography and the railroad and dfstance.between thru streets. Actually, I don't see that there ia'anything you need to do until development and available funds require the improvement of Benton west of Tingdale. You will, of course* be notified as to any hearings to be held on improvements on Benton# west of Tingdale, in your block. . I hope the above gives you the information you desire. If you have further specific questions, ple4so let me knotie Very sincerely, Warren C. Hyde, ZMvB Village Mnager. jaU l p 5120 Benton Avenue Edina (Mpls. 24), Minn. November 17, 1958 Mr. Warren Co Hyde Edina Village Manager 4801 best 50th Street Edina (Mpls.24), Minn. Dear Warrens I notice by the Courier on November 13 that Benton Avenue is scheduled for curb and gutter and "thick" blacktop during 1959. It is identified as a state aid project. We have been hearing rumors on.Benton being a state.aid road ever since the people.between Normandale and Eastview petitioned for blacktop. I have been told the block between Eastview and Tingdale was also ordered curb and gutter and blacktopping without a petition. West of Tingdale we have petitioned nothing and heard nothing official. This raises some questions, assuming the Courier was rights 1) ,INhy was Benton made a state aid road without the residents being notified? In 1952 I moved onto a quiet residential street which began at Normandale and was platted to Tracy. It certainly does not oonnect major areas in any ordinary sense of the word - - -and this was an important factor in our buying on it. I don't want the increased fast traffic which a smooth hard surfaced road may being. I don't want curb and gutter because I like the more or less rural appearance :, i:withOtt it -- -that is one reason .I bought in a suburb aril not the city. 2) I understand that once Normandale (highway 100) has been improved there will be no access from Eden to the 62nd Street traffic inter- change. If this is so, what possible benefit is it to the state or the village to have Benton \improved" partially at general public expense? ,3) What portion of the cost would we bear and why should we pay for eny - more than we have petitioned -- -which has been oiling and no more? 4) Is -it necessary that we accept these "benefits" and what legal re- course do we have to prevent all or part of them? Your answers will assist my neighbors and myself to decide what we should do about the situation. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Clifford C.

The meeting was adjourned and the matter was referred to the various attorneys of the political subdivisions in Hennepin County for their steady and recommendation. No recommendation has been received from the attorneys to which the matter was referred, however, the problem of adequate drainage in Hennepin County still retains unsolved. The Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County mailed to each political subdivision, a communication dated August 28, 1957, In which their views were set forth. II am enclosing with this communi- cation a copy of such letter for your consideration. Y have been requested by the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County to inform all interested persons thst on Wednesday, June 11, 1958 at 10 o'clock A. N. in the meeting room of the Board of County Commissioners, Room No. 130, Court House, City of Minneapolis, the County Board will again take up the problem of drainage and flood control in the County of Hennepin. amine decision of the Board made pursuant to this meeting will be of the utmost interest to all political subdivisions of this County. For that reason II suggest you be represented at the meeting. This communication is also being sent to all persons who have indicated to the Board of County Commissioners their interest in the establishment of a eater -shed district in Hennepin County.

Our attention not only has been called to this problem by individual petitions, but by petitions for improvement of existing county drainage systems by cities and villages within the county involving improvements running into the hundreds and thousands of dollars. This Board has considered all petitions on their merits and only too frequently has been confronted with situations that are beyond the powers of this Board to remedy. This Board has devoted many hours to an examination of this drainage problem and each Individual commissioner has investigated the problem on his own time and favored this Board with his conclusions. This Board has also assigned for investigation many of the drainage problems to the office of the County Highway Engineer and the office of the County Attorney. They have favored this Board with numerous exhaustive reports and tentative conclusions. Because of the continued existence of this problem, the Board of County Commissioners feels that a summary of its experience and conclusions with respect to inadequate drainage in this county would be helpful to you in solving the drainage problem which exists throughout the County and in each of the political subdivisions. Probably the primary reason for the aggravated drainage problem now existing in Hennepin County arises in the change from ghat was formerly the rural area of Hennepin County to a suburban or metropolitan area. many of the political subdivisions which were formerly- townships- lave now incor- porated into villages. The ,increasing demand for village government was prompted by the tremendous building boom that has occured in Hennepin County In which the residential areas that have grown up called for village type of government rather than the township form. In the course of the previously mentioned building boom, much of the rural area of Hennepin County has now been platted for residential purposes„ The dsve loyment of residential and commercial areas have, in many cases, ignored the natural drainage systems and by such development have blocked former drainage systems. In addition, the laying out at' reads and streets and the existence of residential and commercial buildings within any area has, to that extent, destroyed the vertical seepage of surface waters Into the earth. The natural runoff of surface water has become aggravated by reduced vertical seepage until existing natural and man-made drainage systems in this county have become overburdened. Our investigations indicate that in ,many cases, the individual home owner has used whatever means was available to discharge surface water upon his land. This method may solve the individual problem, but it aggravates the drainage problem of adjoining land owners who were forced to either tolerate this additional flaw of seater or take whatever means was available to discharge the water on the lands of others. Some of the villages after incorporation begat construction of roads and streets and in some instances began the installation of storm and sanitary sewers, Diajposal of water, by these villages into existing county ditches or natural creeks and drains have overtaxed the capacity of said natural drains and ditches to dispose of the additional eater. Areas which formerly were storage basins for surface water, in many cases, have been filled in for building and other purposes. The destruction of these storage areas in some cases have caused flood conditions to anise immediately after heavy rains or thaws by completely filling natural creeks forcing water over their banks and into areas that formerly had no drainage problems. It has been our experience that the elimination of one problem in many cases merely aggravated a similar problem in some other area of the county lower in elevation that the area relieved. We have further round that in times of excessive rainfall or from the rapid melting of accumulated winter snow, existing drainage systems are totally inadequate to handle the burden of surface water. This Board has noted that many of the petitioners and parties appearing before this Board requesting the County t® take action to relieve flood conditions believed that the County could take immediate action to grant the request made. However, the County must proceed under the ditch law which requires the filing of a petiti®sn, a petitioner0s bond, the appointment of an engineer, the filing of an engineer °s bond and preliminary surveys made of the area covered in the petition. `these ?matters are time consuming and of ttimes the damage has occured before the remedies under the ditch low can take effect. It should also be mentioned that under the ditch law while the County initially gays the expenses, the petitioners receiving the benefits ultimately pay the full cost of the proceeding by being assessed for the improvements made. We have concluded that the only adequate way of handling the drainage problem in Hennepin County is by the utmost cooperation of all political sub- divisions in the County confronted with the problem. We feel that one city., village or township acting alone will either pass its drainage problem onto another village, city or township or by nonaction will endanger the health and well being of its inhabitants or damage their property value. The County of Hennepin is deeply interested in this problem because of its roads being undermined and damaged by the blocking of culverts or the destruction of drainage systems which were adequate and functioning at the time the roads were constructed. We feel that all political subdivisions in the County should immediately give this drainage problem immediate attention. We realize that many of the problems which exist today could not be anticipated and have their origin in the piecemeal development of certain residential areas. We., at this time, desire to express our gratitude for the cooperation the County Board has received from all the political subdivisions in attempts to relieve this problem and we further desire to express our readiness to cooperate as a County Board in any attempted solution to this problem,. This Board has arrived at no solution to the total problem nor do we wish to dictate to any political subdivision how the problem should be handled. We have arrived at the conclusion, however, that it will take the utmost cooperation of all political subdivisions affected to eliminate the problem. To that end, measures *ender existing ditch or watershed laws should be inaugurated to preserve water storage areas, or new legislation enacted to deal with this problem on a county -wide basis. ;_..4 In conclusion, this Bcard wishes to state that it will cooperate to any extent possible with any plan Inaugurated by the various political subdivisions of this County to correct or elim'nate the problems now existing in Hennepin County relating to proper drainage facilities. BOARD OF HEMPI1 COUM COMI.SSIONERS e ®rge Yd Matthews' Chairman Earl Ainsworth, Vice Chairman Irvixig_C . Sco t zz MINNESOTA WATERSHED DISTRICT ACT Within the past five years there has been increasing attention paid to watersheds. Probably you are aware of the watershed approach.: If not; it is likely that you will come in contact with watershed work in the near future.. This material explains one aspect of the work, '.The Minnesota Watershed District Act." The Watershed District Act is state legislation passed by the Minnesota Legislature in 1955. In this respect, its creation is similar to the Soil Conservation District Act.,. A watershed district has two main objectives.- (1) To provide a local organization which can attempt to coordinate ail water problems in the watershed. (2) To- provide local people with authority (legal and financial) to initiate projects to solve their water problems. What are the advantages of the watershed district act,? It allows for the creation of a permanent local organization along watershed lines irrespective of political boundaries. The watershed district has the authority and financial means to deal with all water problems in the area. Residents of the watershed have an opportunity to form a coordinated conservation plan; the managers are required to see that practices are consistent with this plan. A watershed district has the authority to cooperate with the Federal Govern. merit on flood prevention projects. The Watershed District Act and P.L. 566 (The Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act) are often confused. Some people have the mistaken idea that these laws provide conflicting programs. Actually, the opposite is true they complement each other. A watershed district is a unit of government j organized to solve sater problems. P,L., 566 is a program or "tool ' that can be used by organizations, such as a watershed district to solve particular problems.. An ideal combination within a watetshed would involve a soli conservation district and a watersi-it-6 district acting as co- sponsors of a P.L. 566 project. The S. C. D, has the authority, experience and person mel (through local S. C.S. representatives) to handle the `' on the land treatment', The water- shed district has the authority and financial power necessary to meet the local obligations connected with structural works." Questions & Answers on Watershed 1-',istrscts 1-1 What is a watershed district? A. It is a political subdivision of the state. B. It is a special purpose district. How is it similar to Soil Conservation isrticts_ A. They are both political subdivisions of the state. B. They are both special purpose districts. C� They are both formed by a petition from local people. D. They are both governed by local people. 3. How is it .different from Soil Conservation Districts? A. Itys area is determined by watershed boundaries rather.than county lines. B. It has power to deal with all water problems - flood control, drainage, erosion, irrigation, pollution, - municipal water supply, recreation, . wildlife, and others, C. It has financial powers; including the power of special assessment., 4. How is a watershed district created? A petition asking for the creation of a district must be -sent to the Minnesota Water Resources Board from a local group. This petition may be from° (1). The county commissioners of any county. within the proposed district (2) The officials of three or more cities, villages or boroughs (3) 25% of the resident ,freeholders of the proposed district 5. What is to.be- included in the petition? A. The name of the proposed district B. The necessity for the - district C. The purpose of the contemplated improvements D. The territory to be included E. The number of managers proposed for the district . F. A map of the district G. A request for the organization of the district H. Names of ten nominees, who live in the district to serve as first board of managers. 6. What action is taken by the Water Resources Board? Upon the receipt of a valid petition, properly served, the board sets a time and place -for a public hearing within the district. Notice is given and all people may appear and testify. either for or against the creation of the district. This hearing is much like a court proceeding, witnesses. are under oath, subject to cross.-examination, and testimony is recorded. 7. Under what circumstances will the board create a district? If, at the hearing, it .appears that; (1) a majority of the people are.in favor of the district, (2) there is a serious water problem in the watershed, (3) it appears that a solution is feasible and practicable, (4) natural resources are protected. 8. Who governs a watershed district? A district is governed by a board of managers. The first board, from 3 to 5, members, is selected by the .Water Resources Board, from the list of nominees submitted in the petition.: This board serves for 1 year.. Their successors are appointed by the county commissioners, and serve for 3 year appointments. 9. What initial action is taken by the board of managers? A. They shall take an oath, -file a $1,000 surety bond, elect officers, adopt a corporate seal, keep a record of all business. 2.. B. ; They shall appoint ,an advisory committee to consist of:. (1) A county commissioner (2). A municipal official (3) . A soil conservation district supervisor. (4) A member of -a farm organization (5) A member of a sportsmen's organization C.: They. shall adopt an overall plan for projects and improvements within the district._ loo Do the. residents of a district have an opportunity to express their opinion on the overall plan? Yes; after the managers have completed the- overall plan, it;is presented to the.Water Resources Board. The board then holds, a second public hearing within thel district.. Notice is given as in the first hearing.: All residents may appear and express themselves. on the plan.. After receiving the plan and listening to suggested modifications, the board prescribes :a project and improvement, plan. 11.: How areprojects within the-district initiated? Before any project :may be started, a. petition must be, presented to the board of managers.: The proposed project ,must be consistent ;with the overall. plan.: This petition may be submitted by: (1) a board of county commissioners, (2) an affected municipality, (3) 25% of the resident free- holders or owners. of 25% of the affected property 12. What .procedure -do the managers follow upon the receipt of a valid work petition ?, They have - necessary, surveys made -to determine estimated costs, estimated benefits, property benefited or damaged, -names of all persons and public or private corporations affected. If the survey is unfavorabley the managers return the petition for further action or dismiss. If the petition is dismissed, the petitioner must pay the costs of the. survey. If the survey is favorable; -the managers provide for a final hearing. The managers appoint appraisers who. view the land and determine benefits and damages.. If both the engineer's and appraiser's reports are favorable: the managers hold a public hearing on the, project.. 13. - Are affected people; notified of the project ,and given an opportunity to be heard? Yes, every' affected person if notified by mail of the project and of the public. hearing.: Anybody objecting to the, projector to the assessment of benefits or damages may appear and state his objections. 14. How are, administrative and project .costs financed? Preliminary surveys and general expenses are i paid .fromthe: preliminary. fund. After a work petition has been received, the managers may. petition -the district court for creation of a preliminary fund. This fund shall not exceed $20,000. ;1t may becreated by an assessment against,propertyin the district,, but this assessment cannot exceed ten cents per acre on agricultural land. Construction costs arepaid by special assessment against the: property which is. benefited. ; In no case-may assessments against ,property exceed benefits: to that. property: General revenue is not used to finance the. district or,its' projects.: No one living. outside the district is ever assessed. No person living in the district is. assessed for a specific project unless he is benefited by the - project.,: 3° M What is the relationship between a watershed district .organized under state law, and federal water programs? They complement each other. Both the Soil Conservation Service and. the Corps of Engineers require a local organization to act as a sponsor before. their projects are - started. These, sponsors must have financial powers to. meet certain local responsibilities. In addition, a board of managers is in a better position to .speak for a watershed than area group of unorganized residents. 16. What right of appeal do landowners have from decisions of the Water Resources Board or the board of managers ?' Any final decision of the, board may be reviewed by the district court..: Any order of the managers may be reviewed by. either the district court (if it ;affects a substantial .right) or by the Water Resources Board. And, -of course, any decision of the district court may be appealed to the supreme court. -4 wAlnuf 7.8861 VILLAGE OF E D I N A 4801 West 50th Street.

It was felt by those present that the forming of such a group would serve an excellent purpose and a steering ees"Osee- committee was appointed to proceed with the orgaAization of the Safety Council. This committee has met and now proposes to call a general meeting with representatives of all service clubs, PTA groups, Youth organizations, the Ministerial alliance, Neighborhood groups and interested citizens present. It is hoped that once the group is formed that the tie with the Village Hall would be only on an ex- officio basis. /groups mentioned The steering group wishes to invite the various to a meeting of interested persons on the 30th of April and if is satisfactory to the Village Council, would pppreciate receiving authorization for the Village Manager to sign a letter inviting attendance at the meeting.

It is our plan to first purchase the vacant property along this route and if money is still available we will then probably purchase property that has been developed so that we -may give those owners ample time for vacating their property. At this time I do not know when construction operations can be started but if it is-agreeable, and I am assured that there has been no change by the Village Council as tQ the location of said 62nd Street Crosstown Highway, we will immediately proceed as we have now selected our appraisers to get an estimated cost of the right of way. Would you please inform me that there has been no change in the attitude of the Village Council in regard to the location of the 62nd Street Crosstown Highway, as up to now we have had only tentative approval of this proposed crosstown layout.

Kirtland a TO ALL CITIES., TOW IN HIPaS, VILLAGES AND DRA31AGE COMMITTEES OF HEHHEPIH COUNTY Gentlemen: �� ✓�/�, CO UAL/%' �' August 28, 1957 With increasing frequency, particularly during the year 1957, this Boardla attention has been directed to the drainage problems existing in Hennepin County. Our attention not only has been called to this problem by individual petitions, but by petitions for improvement of existing county drainage systems by cities and villages within the county involving improvements running into the hundreds and thousands of dollars. This Board has considered all petitions on their merits and only too frequently has been confronted with situations that are beyond the powers of this Board to. remedy. This Board has devoted many hours to an examination of this drainage problem and each Individual commissioner has investigated.the problem on his own time and favored this Board with his conclusions. This Board has also assigned for Investigation many of the drainage problems to the office of the County Highway Engineer and the office of the County Attorney. They have favored this Board with numerous exhaustive reports and tentative conclusions. Because of the !I continued existence of this problem, the Board of County Commissioners feels' that a summary of its experience and conclusions with respect to inadequate drainage in this county would be helpful to you in solving the drainage problem which exists throughout the County and in each of the political subdivisions. Probably the primary reason for the aggravated drainage problem now existing in Hennepin County arises in the change from what was formerly the rural area of Hennepin County to a suburban or metropolitan area. Many of the political subdivisions which were formerly townships have now incor- porated into villages. The. Increasing demand for village government was prompted by the tremendouslbuilding boom that has occured in Hennepin County In which the residential areas that have grown up called for village type of goverment rather than the township form. In the course of the previously mentioned building boom, much of the rural area of Hennepin County hes.now been `r platted for residential purposes. The development of residential and commercial areas have, in many cases; ignored the natural drainage systems and by such development have blocked former drainage systems. In addition, the laying out of roads and streets and the existence of residential and commercial buildings within any area has, to that extent, destroyed the vertical seepage of surface waters into the earth. The natural runoff of surface water has become aggravated by reduced vertical seepage until existing natural and manmade drainage systems in this county have become overburdened. Our investigations indicate that in many cases, the individual home owner has used whatever means was available to discharge surface water upon his land. This method may solve the individual problem, but it aggravates the drainage problem of adjoining land oLmers who lvere forced to either tolerate this additional floes of crater or take whatever means was available to discharge the water on the lands of others. Some of the villages after incorporation begaa construction of roads and streets and in some instances began the installation of storm and sanitary sewers. Disposal of water by these villages into existing county ditches or natural creeks and drains have overtaxed the capacity of said natural drains and ditches to dispose of the additional crater. Areas which formerly were storage basins for surface water, in many uses, have been filled in for building and other purposes. The destruction of these storage areas in some cases have caused flood conditions to arise immediately rafter heavy rains or thaws by completely filling natural creeks forcing water over their banks and into areas that formerly had no drainage problems. It has been our experience that the elimination of one problem in many cases merely aggravated a similar problemAn some other area of the county lower in elevation that the area relieved. We have further found that in times of excessive rainfall or from the rapid melting of accumulated winter snow, existing drainage systems are totally inadequate to handle the burden of surface water. This Board has noted that many of the petitioners and parties appearing before this Board requesting the County to take action to relieve flood conditions believed that the County could take immediate action to grant the request made. However, the County must proceed under the ditch lacy which requires the filing of a petition, a petitionerrs bond, the appointment of an engineer, the filing of an engineeres bond and preliminary surveys made of the area covered in the petition. These matters are time consuming and of ttimes the damage has occured before the remedies under the ditch lair can take effect. It should also be mentioned that under the ditch law while the County initially pays the expenses, the petitioners receiving the benefits ultimately pay the full cost of the proceeding by being assessed for the improvements made. We have concluded that the only adequate way of handling the drainage problem in Hennepin County is by the utmost cooperation of all political sub- divisions in the County confronted with the problem. We feel that one city, village or township acting alone will either pass its drainage problem onto another village, city or township or by nonaction will endanger the health and well being of its inhabitants or damage their property value. The County of Hennepin is deeply interested in this problem because of its roads being undermined and damaged by the blocking of culverts or the destruction of drainage systems which were adequate and functioning at the time the roads were constructed. We feel that all political subdivisions in the County should Immediately give this drainage problem immediate attention. We realize that many of the problems which exist today could not be anticipated and have their origin in the piecemeal development of.certain residential areas. We, at this time, desire to express our gratitude for the cooperation the County Hoard has received from all the political subdivisions in attempts to relieve this problem and we further desire to express our readiness to cooperate as a County Hoard in any attempted solutions to this problem. This Hoard has arrived at no solution to the total problem nor do we wish to dictate.to any political subdivision how the problem should be handled. We have arrived at the conclusion, however, that it will take the utmost cooperation of all political subdivisions affected to eliminate the problem. To,that end, measures under existing ditch or watershed lags should be inaugurated to preserve water storage areas, or new legislation enacted to deal with this problem on a ooutty -side basis. In conclusion, this Board wishes to state that it will cooperate to any extent possible with any plan inaugurated by the various political subdivisions of this County to correct or eliminate,the problems now existing In Hennepin County relating to proper drainage facilities.

PEDERSON, ENGINEER I z V GENEVA 4841 - 4342 July -12, 1957 Mr. Warren C. Hyde, Manager Village of Edina ` 4801 West 50th Street Edina 24, Minnesota Dear Mr. Hyde: In reply to your letter of July 3rd, 1957 regarding the improvement of Xerxes Avenue within the Village of Edina, I assume that you are thinking of that portion of Xerxes Avenue from 54th Street to 62nd Street. This department has not considered any improvement on that part of Xerxes Avenue. There can be no improvement on that portion of the roadway during 1958 with Hennepin County funds but we would be willing to make a recommendation for the construction season of 1959 that that portion of Xerxes Avenue be improved jointly between the County of Hennepin, the Village of Edina, and the City of Minneapolis. The County of Hennepin has no definite plans for the im- provement of that portion of Xerxes Avenue lying between 66th Street and 78th Street (Trunk Highway 5 -100). I am sure that it will be many years, at least not until the entire ,62nd Street Crosstown Highway has been constructed, before the County will consider any expense on this portion of Xerxes Avenue. The portion of Xerxes Avenue between 66th Street and 78th Street was only recently designated as a State Aid Road in order to be able to tie into the Interstate System on 78th Street in the future. I hope this is the information you are seeking at this time. Yours very t uly, L. P. Pederson County Engineer LPP :db ✓_.

' Subject: Crosstown Highway Dear Mr. Pederson: Following the discussion you had with' members of the Village Council and Mself recently concerning the proposed 62nd Street Crosstown highway, Mr. Ed. Lorenz has furnished an estimate as to the land ao- quisition cost involved in securing the necessary right of way. IIr. Lorenz's report, that!-the total cost of securing the necessary land and buildings between Xerxes Avenue and approximately Valley View Avenue West of }iiglzway 100,, exclusive•of•the area needed for the cloverleaf at'Eiighway 100.' would be approximately 0300,0008 of_. which $200,000 represents the.cost of land without buildings and therefore the Village's responsibility under the program you present - ed to us. stir. Lorenz' estimate of the cost of the land needed west of the presently engineered route to County Highway 18, would be an additional ' 4)1000.000. This would mean a total of approximately 6300,000 as the Village is share*, At the meeting of 4 •September 108. '19568 the Council decided unanimously that this large amount was beyond the Village's ability to pay in view . of the fact that the proposed highway.will have very little direct benefit to local traffic. The Council agreed, however, that the Village will secure all of the necessary right of way it possibly can by securing sufficient dedication in connection with new plats of property which is within the right of way. We will appreciate your discussing this with the County Commissioners and advising us as promptly as possible as to what other financial arrangements could be made. As you know, our present proscription on building permits within the proposed right of way expires October 1. WCH :B I Very truly yours, Darren C.

The County has placed a gravel base over a portion of No. 20 where sewer was placed and road re- graded last year. We plan to place a mat.over this section as soon as possible. There is a bad area at Mirror Lake which was torn up for sewer. The repair of this spot is the responsibility of Edina. This location will require the reconstruction of the gutter on the north side and repairing,of the bituminous mat on the roadway. When sewer work is completed on Road 39, the road reshaped and two inches of gravel base placed by the village, the County will place another two inches of gravel base, compact base, and haul gravel for bitum- inous mat. Edina is to furnish the oil for -this job, with Hennepin County doing the mixing and laying. This is as agreed at our meeting earlier this spring.

I strongly supported the so- called Gore bill, S. 1048, which passed the Senate on May 25, 1955• If it should become public law, it would provide for an annual appropriation of $400 million for projects on the federal -aid primary highway system, $300 million for projects on the federal -aid secondary system, $200 million for federal -aid urban projects, and an additional $7,750,000,000 for the interstate highway system over a period of five years. As you know, Congressman Fallon has introduced a new highway bill, H. R. 8836, in the House. Following Subcommittee hearings, it has recently been reported with liberalizing amendments to the full House Committee on Public Works. Action by this Com- mittee is expected shortly.' The financing provisions of the highway legislation caused considerable controversy in the House last year. This aspect has now been considered separately. On February 29, the House Ways and Means Committee adopted an amended version of the Boggs bill, H. R. 9075. The joint efforts of these two House Committees will probably be combined in a major highway bill for House consideration prior to April 30. In the interest of expediting action, I have taken the liberty of sending your comments directly to the House Committees. I am earnestly.hopeful that speedy House decision on this legis= lation will permit joint House and Senate agreement on the liberal, forthright program for the expanded highway system that we so desperately need. Be assured that I shall continue to work ener- getically for that result. Sincerely, 1 Hubert H. Hump CARL HAYDE RICHARD B. RUSSELT, GA. DENNIS CHAVEZ, N. MEX. ALLEN J. ELLENDER, LA.

Hyde Village Manager Village of Edina Edina, Minnesota Dear Mr. Hyde: 'Wnifeb .` Nunez zer"fe COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS Washington, D. C. March 20, 1956. I have your communication urging my support of an expanded federal highway program. . Since the Senate approved a highway bill last year, this legislation is now before the House of Representatives for consideration and action. I might add at this point that the Senate bill of last year did not meet my expectations in every respect; however, it appeared to be the best legislation upon which we could then obtain agreement and therefore I sup- ported it. Further Senate action on this legislation will involve consideration and action on a conference report representing agreement on S nate -House differences. H wever, the Senate will not have a further opportunity this year to act upon individual questions embodied in this legislation since the conference report must be accepted or rejected in its entirety and without amendment. I wanted to explain this legislative situation to you since the proposals about which you write are ones which must now be considered by the House of Representatives rather than by the Senate. Nevertheless, I do want you to know that I am glad you took the trouble to advise me of your views. I. too, am interested in getting a highway improvement program underway at the earliest possible time. S/ward y yours, E . Thye S.S. EJT:kb WALTER H. JUDD STN Dlsr..

Hyde, Village Manager Village of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota Dear Mr. Hyde: Thank you for your letter expressing your thoughtful views in favor of Federal highway constuction legislation. The long -range Federal highway construction program is urgently needed, not only to improve our high- way system for normal use, but in the interests of nation- al security as well. Almost certainly a highway bill will be passed by this Congress but it is not possible at this time to pre- dict its final form - probably a combination of various pro- posals. I shall vote for the best'we can get, even though it probably won't satisfy me - or anyone else - in every respect. I am in complete agreement with your statement that the money collected from increased user taxes should be devoted exclusively to highway purposes. I appreciate having.the benefit of your views on this important issue and will give them careful consideration when this bill comes before the House. With kindest regards, WW/mgd/v Sincerely yours, COMMITTEE: FOREIGN AFFAIRS N Same letter to: Senator Edward J. Thye, Senate Office Bldg., Washington Congressman Walter H. Judd, House Office Bldg., n March l6, 1956. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, `Senate Office Building, Washington, D.-C. Dear -Sir During the current session of the 84th Congress, I under- stand that attention is again being given to an expanded highway program. I am sure I need not dwell at any great length on the need for additional funds for modern high- ways in metropolitan areas such as the Village of Edina is located in.' I am not writing you in favor of any particular bill which .may be under consideration. at the present. time as I have' not had the opportunity to study the barious proposals. I am appealing to you, however, for your support of any sound program which will result in construction of the highways that are so badly needed. I an particularly concerned about one feature and that is the fact that municipalities, par- ` ticularly in Minnesota, have to get practically all of their road building money from the general property tax or from special assessments -levied on benefited property. I certainly feel that the money collected by the.federal government as gasoline tax and in the form of other excise taxes from auto- mobiles and trucks should be turned back to road programs. For this particular reason, I ask your urgent support of any legislation that does provide additional help for urban high- way construction. I will sincerely appreciate your considering the points raised above when the time comes to vote on highway legislation. Wal i B Sincerely yours, Warren C. Hyde, Village Manager.

Hennepin County has found itself in the position of being unable to maintain and improve the total mileage of its road system as it is now composed and a c:orisiderable study has been given to the all-over problem by the Board, the Engineering Department of the County, and the Roads Committee representing labor and business of Hennepin County. As a culmination of the above mentioned studies, a report was made to the Board of County Commissioners by the Labor-Business-Roads-Committee as of March 18 19559 a copy of which is attached. You will note from this report that recommendation was made to designate 283 miles of the present County Highway System as a "primary" road system., 233 miles of the present County Highway System as a "secondary" road system, and that some 139.6 miles of the present County Highway System be abandoned as such and returned to the political subdivisions in which they are located for the responsibility of maintenance and improvement. . The Board of County Commissioners has indicated its intention of approval of this proposal which would entail in addition to the designation of the two road categories mentioned above, the return to the townships, villages and cities by January 1, 1956 the mileage of roads totalling approximately 1d�0 which are considered in a "tertiary" classification, which means that they are purely access land use roads. It is further indicated that the Board of County Commissioners will look with favor upon a program to improve the portions of the County Road System, both "primary" and "secondary ", which remain under their jurisdiction to a much higher type of improvement than they.have heretofore been able to undertake. The purpose of the improvement program would be to give all the residents of Hennepin, County access to within a maximum of two miles of every parcel of land within the County and in more than 75i of the area of the County, access from the land a distance of one mile or less to a high -type year - around surfaced road. In order to give you sufficient notice to make the necessary adjustment in your Road and Bridge Budget, we are listing on an attached sheet the roads which lie within your jurisdiction and which under the plan. _ would be returned to your responsibility January 1, 1956.

P. Ebert, Chrm., Labor - Business Roads DATE: March I, 1955 Comm. of Hennepin County. TO: Hennepin County Board of Commissioners SUBJECT: AN IMPROVED HENNEPIN COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM As a result of two years' of joint effort by members of the County Board and the Labor - Business Roads Committee, we are now prepared to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners take three specific actions in regard to the county system and adopt a statement of policy pertaining to plans for development of the Hennepin County road system. During that two -year period of cooperative work, every road in Hennepin County has been traversed by committee personnel, analyzed by engineering staff and reviewed by a development committee to determine the present -day and future needs of the road insofar as type and character are concerned. Bridges have been reviewed and typed for future economy of development. Committee personnel have made a thorough study of the costs of maintenance and op- eration of the county highway system of the post -war period. By going into the details of the improvements made in that period and analyzing the growth in use of the county roads, they have concluded that a careful examination of all road facilities of the county is required and that a major effort should be directed toward utilizing a larger portion of funds for development of permanent -type major arteries of the system, rather than putting good surfaces on little -used roads. Also during this two -year period, the committee has jointly made a thorough study of financing county highway systems. They have worked extensively with the Minne- sota Highway Study Commission on overall financing. They have studied bonding, wheelage taxes, millage levies and direct property assessments for local self -help of county systems. They find that wheelage taxes and direct assessments by counties are prohibited. Thus, they have concluded that there are three major sources of revenue for the Hennepin County roads. One of those is the normal property levy: another is improved distribution of road user funds by the State of Minnesota; and the other is bond issue with various types of repayment methods. The three specific actions here recommended to the Board of County Commissioners to implement an effective Hennepin County highway system are: I. Designate 283 miles of the present county highway system as "Primary" roads. These roads are main arteries of the system leading between communities and connecting important areas of origin and destination of Hennepin county traffic. The daily vehicle traffic count on this category of roads is in the range of 1,000- 38,000. The system is so selected that it will warrant high -type of rigid road surfaces, secon- dary in nature only to the 13 State Trunk Highways already established in the county. They provide "spoke -like" artery service between areas of the county and the Minneapolis central business area. They can be expected in future years to be the heavily traveled roads of Hennepin county. The 283 miles are shown on the attached map. 2. Establish 223 miles of roads of the present county system as "Secondary" roads. These roads are selected to be very important to the balanced county highway system and to carry considerable amounts of traffic, but t •' -2- not in normal quantities as large as the "Primary." They can be expected to need good quality of road surfaces in the next few years, although they will not be expected to require extremely high -grade pavement -type surface. In all cases, they are considered to carry traffic between communities that is above and beyond the responsibility of any single local community. It is recommended that the "Secondary" category of roads be the lowest category in the Hennepin County highway system. These 223 miles of roads are depicted on the attached map. 3. Return 139.6 miles of the present county roads to local units of govern- ment for their use, maintenance and operation. These roads are outlined on the attached map. They include roads which are definitely local in nature and therefore the primary responsibility of local government bodies. In many cases, the selected roads are almost exclusively used by abutting property owners. In other cases, they are located within one mile of either a State Trunk Highway, a Primary or a Secondary county road. In still other cases, they duplicate services between communities in the county and do not carry inter - community traffic beyond a very few cars daily. It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners inform the local units of government that effective January I, 1956, the "tertiary" roads listed on the attached map will be returned to their complete jurisdiction, responsibility, operation and maintenance. In the selection of these roads to be returned to local communities, the future responsibility of the county government was carefully con- sidered. It was recognized that a carefully planned highway system . should be developed'to serve the entire county, and that each indivi- dual road had to be justified as being an inter - community type-to remain in the system. Future needs for development of high -type network for the county system requires that the county can no longer afford to put general community funds on local -type roads. Those funds in the future must be directed to roads of-a general nature and to ex- tensive improvements of the major county arteries. The improvement of these arteries will, in the future, continue to substantially improve traffic service to each individual local community throughout the entire county. We further recommend that the Board of County Commissioners adopt as its general policy for improvement of the new Hennepin County system the attached roster titled, "Proposed Construction Program for Hennepin County," totaling $30 million. These improvements as indicated on the map "B ", will serve to give the primary road system of Hennepin County extensive improvement in its effectiveness throughout the community. The program is the result of conferences and recommendations of the committees and engineers and is considered to be the needs of the county system within the next five years. It is, however, contemplated that funds for this im- provement program could be developed primarily from a substantially improved share of state road user funds. Supplementing those funds, it is contemplated that a continued policy of the current millage levy for roads and bridges by the county will be continued. It is also intended that continued emphasis will be placed upon increasing the efficiency of the operation of the county road system. The improvement in establishing the primary and secondary system will assist in that point. The return of 139 miles of local roads to local units of government will make at least $125,000 annually available for use in developing rigid surface type arteries in the primary and secondary road systems. m i s Y • I J Q• Z 7 s as I >o is < cc t 7 s s U O 1j 8.f `INDI A 8 •N V A L J� m o• i 2 Ilc O �a Z Lo' J loT I O y /1l LAffE Fo7 I LoT FOCc.". ! � !!

Dated February 9, 1956. B J. Hoffmann Commissioner of Highways L. P. PEDERSON, ENGINEER HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT COUNTY OF HENNEPIN 440 COURT HOUSE Minneapolis 15, Minnesota z . Mr. Warren Hyde, Manager Village of Edina Edina, Minnesota Dear Sir: December 27, 1955 Re: Proposed improvement on County Road System within Village of Edina r GENEVA 4941 - 4342 As per our discussions at the meeting held Wednesday, December 21st I am forwarding to you for.your Council's decision on the improvement of the following County Roads for 1956. Valley View Road On Valley View Road from Trunk.Highway No. 100 to 62nd Street no determination has been made to the overall width of driving surface and whether the Village of Edina intends to construct concrete curb on any.portion of the roadway. If concrete curb is to be constructed, that cost will have to be paid by Village of Edina 100 per cent. This portion of Valley View Road will be placed on the County Road System on a temporary basis until such time the 62nd crosstown highway will be constructed and with that program in mind, it is only reasonable -that Hennepin County should only -pay a proportionate part on the improvement of Valley View Road. It will be my recommendation that Hennepin County will pay the entire cost. of improving the center 24 feet of Valley View Road.and.all other remaining cost outside the center 24 feet to be paid by others_._ It is considered that the above improvement will not be conerete.pavement:, Your Council should consider that the width for ,Valley View Road should be 44 feet but not less than 38 feet_as 38 feet is the County's - minimum standard width where funds of the County are used. France kenue Flans for the improving of France Avenue from 54th Street to 64th Street for concrete pavement have been started and of_ course will be subject to your Counc Yte approval on the division of cost before any improvement can be actually started. 'It is proposed that this street be 44 feet from face to face of curb except that portion of the bridge of Minnehaha Creek where we will have to use the existing width until-such time when we can determine the most feasible way to widen the bridge without causing damage to the improved- property next to the bridge, expecially that property on the southwest side. Mr. Warren Hyde, Mar. Village of Edina Page 2� In the sharing of cost for this project it will require that the Village of Edina pay 100 per cent on the curb and gutter, private driveway aprons, any improvement 'that will be required at street intersections outside the present 66 foot right -of -way, and any storm sewer - construction that may be required outside the 66foot right -of -way. All other remaining cost will be shared equally between the Village and the County. Another consideration will have to be given by your Council before any concrete, pavement can be laid and that is that all your underground utilities must be inplace as no cuts in concrete pavement -will be permitted for five years except for repairs and maintenance of present utilities. On the Rbove two mentioned roads your Council should make its decision at once so final plans and programing of work can proceed so as to have this proposed work completed by October 1, 1956, the scheduled opening day of Southdale Center. At this time I also would like to discuss State Aid Road No. 64 within your Village. In March of 1955 Mr. L. P. Zimmerman advised the Village authorities that State Aid Road No. 64 on January 1, 1956 would be returned to the Village as a local road and street and that after January 1, 1956 the'County would not expend any County funds on this road. This office would like to secure a resolution from the Village of Edina revoking the designation of State Aid Road.No. 64 lying between Trunk Highway No. 169 and County Road No. 28 so that the resolutions by the County and the Village may be submitted to the Commissioner of Highways. Four copies of a resolution for adoption are herewith submitted. It is my belief that you should have your Council adopt this resolution in view of the fact that Hennepin County in the last year and the coming year 1956 will have expended a large sum of money on road improvement within the village and if concurrence could not be received in the taking over of State Aid Road No. 64, the Board of County Commissioners could take -the position that no monies for improvement in Edina be allocated for future improvement, which could include the year 1956. If you deem it necessary to have a meeting on the above subject,-I will be glad to meet with you. Very truly yours, L. P. Pederson County Engineer LPPsek enc. 4 HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT COUNTY OF HENNEPIN 410 COURT HOUSE Abzneapofla t5, ,J bwesofa 1= 9 7 OENBVA 4841.4842 L. P. Pederson Acting County Engineer September 2, 1955 Mr. Warren C. Hyde, Village Manager 4801 West Fiftieth Street Edina, Minnesota Dear Sir: Re: 50th Street Between T.H.169 and France Avenue In reply to your letter of August 10th in regard to the above mentioned street it is my understanding that this road is now only a Village Street and that, as stated in your letter, there is only the courtesy State Highway marking Number 90 on the street. It is my belief that in the years past when the Village of Edina was not very heavily populated the County of Hennepin constructed this concrete pavement between Trunk Highway No. 169 and France Avenue as an access street, therefore, to use County funds at that time for the improvement of this portion of the street it was necessary to have that portion designated as State Aid Road No. 20 and at a later date the State Aid Road designation No. 20 was removed so that our designation now for the beginning of State Aid Road No. 20 is at the intersection of Interlachen Boulevard and Trunk Highway No. 169. The County of Hennepin has not performed any routine maintenance upon this portion of the road except that we have assisted the Village of Edina in the striping of this road,when the County has furnished the labor and equipment and the Village of Edina the paint materials, as a joint cooperation project. At this time I do not believe that we have any jurisdiction upon this road for any County financial participation, and if this portion of the road would at a later date be.placed back on the County Highway System you would not be able to bar the trucks from its use as our Laws and Statutes do not provide such a provision for making this street a boulevard for passenger vehicles only. At the present time on existing State Aid Road 20 within the limits of Edina, the Village has placed "No Trucks" signs on this roadway and at. times there have been criticisms as to trucks being prohibited from a road where County funds are involved, although I will state that it has not been too serious a complaint as to date. Warren C. Hyde - 2 9 -2 -55 Any signs that might be necessary for the through trucks to use Trunk Highway No. 100 either north or south will be.within the jurisdiction of the State Highway Department and you should consult with their Maintenance Division at Hopkins, Minnesota. Yours very truly, L. P. Pederson Acting County Engineer LPP:db September 1, 1955 Mr..Don Spielman County Highway Department. Court House Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear fir.. Spie]mana In accordance with our conversation on the problems involved in the improvement of Valley -View Avenue extended between Kellogg Ave. and Oaklavm Ave.,. I presented,, your lag -out to the Village Council informally Wednesday night; August 31st. 1-pointed out the difficulties involved because of,the Shuldhiess and.,Strand houses being within the 66 ft. right of spay. I -advised the Council that the plans would' be changed from the original to provide for approximately a 34 ft. surfaced roadway with a new construction centerline approximately 10 ft. North of the right of way center line. I also advised the Council it would be necessary to.remove from the Shuldhiess property the lilac bushes Prom across the front and the large tree which is the closest to the proposed road, as well as, a dying fir trees and that two large trees would have to be removed from the.front of the Strand house. The Council was agreeable to this and you are authorized to remove the trees and shrubs as indicated above. WCH t ifp Yours very truly, Marren C. Hyde Village Manager WALNUT 6363 LANDSCAPE GARDENER 4881 EXCELSIOR BOULEVARD MINNEAPOLIS 16, MINNESOTA Honorable Village Council Village of Edina Edina, Minn. Gentlemen,: A few years ago, I believe it was 1951, the County turned that portion:of County road :.Nb. 28 between Normandale and France Ave. back to the village as a residental street. Why they did this I do not know because it.was self evident even at that time it carried to heavy a. traffic to be a residental str. After all,the purpose of a residental street is to serve the people living in that particular district. To,come and go from their homes and to receive nessesary deliveries. Such a street is constructed and maintained for that purpose alone. If for some reason one of the streets, due to its location, developes into a public thoroughfare serving industrial and commercial establishments it is no longer a residental street and becomes an arterial highway and is constructed and maintained for that purpose. That portion-of 70th. street between Normandale and France Ave. -Has never been a residental 'street; it is not now and certainly will not be in the future. The street even.-at the time the County turned it over to the village, was a heavy traveled road•extensivily used by tha sand pits, block factories and conctrete mixing machines and every one of those vehicles violated ordinance No. 1600 by being,overloadet. The village undoubtedly recognized the real purpose of this road because they never made any attempt to inforce this ordinance, although those heavy trucks when loadet weighed 20 tons or more were braking down the road at t rapid rate. In loking over the map, it is easy to see that, that portion of 70th. street will always carry a heavy traffic and for that reason should be designated as part of the main arterial highway system in this district; and I do believe it should be turned back to the County as part of its road. system. It is the only street that ties togwther those two important highways Normandale and France Ave. for eight long blocks south from 70th. to 78th. and four long blocks north from 70th. 66th. All the intervening land is platted for residental purposes with curved and meandering roads and can only be used for residental purposes. And with the development of ��`thdale, the traffic will be increased tremendously.because all 'PIG south -west will have to use 70th. to reach Southdale. Because of this, the construction and maintenance of this road will be far greater than the cost of a residental road, I•feel that those of its that bought our land while it was stil a County road and have our homes here should not be penalized by being taxed to furnish and keep up a road to serve the industrial and commercial establishments on France.Ave. October 3, 1955° Mr..

Hyde, Village Manager Village of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Minneapolis 10, Minnesota Dear Sir: Re: Condition of Roads within Village of Edina Several days ago when traveling the County Road System within the Village of Edina I noticed that the village has not replaced any surfacing on roads that have been torn up by Village utility im- provements. On County Road No. 28 the north side of the road has not yet been put into its original condition of blacktop surfacing that existed --before construction operations were begun. Part of this project is now over a year old and without the additional bituminous surface widening this road is very hazardous for the meeting and passing of cars. Also on County Road No. 39 (Valley View Road) west of the Belt Line I noticed that this road was in very poor condition and that the present road bed is of clay. I know that this work was performed during this summer's construction but I am afraid that unless some gravel base and bituminous surfacing is placed upon this portion of the road traffic would be unable to travel on it during the spring break -up of 1956 and the County does not feel that it is obligated to do any repairs or surfacing on this road. In the early spring of 1955 a certain portion of France Avenue was torn up for utility installations and has not as yet been placed back into a satisfactory condition. We request that you give these above stated conditions your immediate attention. Please advise this office as to your intentions in placing these roads back into the same condition that existed before your utility work was placed under construction. Yours very truly, L. P.

Such expenditures do not come very close to being the equivalent of one mill, consequently the Village of Edina has no basis for making a claim against the County in accordance with Pinnesota Statutes .1953, 263.10, 263.11 and 263.12. We appreciate the problem which confronts the County Board . on'this -whole matter and certainly hope you will be,able to work out app equitable solution to it. Thank you again for your courtesans -in letting us know the si tuat ion. Very truly yours, Warren C. Hyde' Village Manager. WCH$B Iq rl - L� L q Y. // Iq J-4 — (/ s 8 3, 3 op Iq 8 W. MATTHEWS.

M A I N 8 6 3 9 August 4, 1955 T0: The Various Political Subdivisions of the County of Hennepin RE: Claim for refund of aid to the poor paid in excess of one mill Gentlemen: The Village of Crystal, through 0. M. Hollom, Administrative Assistant, has filed with the County Auditors, the claim of the Village of Crystal for poor relief expended during the years 1952, 1953, and 1954,in excess of one mill of the taxable value of property in the Village of•Crystal. The claim is based on Minnesota Statutes 1953, 263.102 263.11 and 263.12, which provides for the re- imbursement, by the County to the political subdivision operating under the town system of poor relief, of 75% of the excess of one mill expended by such political 'subdivision in support of its poor, The fact that this claim has been filed with the County Auditor and the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County is, to the writer, of extreme importance, not only to the County, but to all political subdivisions of the County who may have the right to make claim under the above quoted laws, From what information is available to the writer, the law was originally enacted by Ch. 420, Laws of Minnesota, 1921s, and limited the right to make.a claim to towns and villages. Thereafter, Laws Minnesota 1927, Ch. 49, amended the law to provide that cities of the third and fourth class could come within its provisions. Under that amendment, the City of Robbinsdale made claim against the County of Hennepin for the sum of 4.19,117.75. The claim was resisted on the part of the County on the grounds that the law was unconstitutional as not uniform in its application. The Supreme Court of this State in Village of Robbinsdale vs. County of.H ennepin, 199 Minn. 203, 271 NW 491, decided February 138 1937, held said.;law unconstitutional for.lack of uniformity in making the City of Minneapolis subject;.to the burden of the tax and receiving none of its benefits. After the above decision, the Legislature enacted Ch, 2870 Laws Minnesota 1937,:'now coded M.S.A. 263.10 -.11 -.128 under which the claim of the-Village of Crystal is•made. M.S,A. 263.12 relating to the application of the law was - amended.by Ch. 2328'•Laws Minnesota 1949, lowering the percentage of valuation located.in a city of the First Class from 90 to 80%, The law was again amended in the 1955 session by Ch. 246, again lowering the percentage from 80 to 65 %. While obvious that the Legislature intended that the law not apply.to Hennepin County, the val uations in rural H ennepin County increased so rapidly that during the years 1952s 1953,:and 195.4 the County of Hennepin did not come within the exception provided by M.S.A. 263.7.20" This fact was known to both the City of Minneapolis and the County of Hennepin but under a mutual informal under - standing�p the-City of Minneapolis did not.present any claim upon the County despite the fact that the City of Minneapolis might have a larger claim than the aggregate claims of the other political subdivisions of the County because of the tremendous amount of resident and transient relief granted by the City, including hospital care given at Minneapolis General'Hospital. S,;WROa-W. MATTHEWS, Chairman S. EARL AINSWORTH, Vice Chairman JENS CHRISTENSEN RICHARD O. HANSON IRVING G. SCOTT BOARD OF HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS C O U R T N O U S E • M I N N E A P O L I S 13, M I N N E S O T A • M A I N 0 6 3 9 -2•N In view of these facts, "it appears only fair that all political subdivisions who have expended in excess of one mill for poor relief be given the notice and opportunity to file their claim against the County. If this were not true, the individual political subdivision making its claim would, in effect, be shifting part of the cost of the duty to provide poor relief to its paupers upon the tax- payers of another political subdivision, On the other hand' if each political subdivision makes its claim, each3 then, through the county -wide levy made by the Board of County Commissioners, would pay part of the cost of each other's poor relief expenditure. This may have the tendency to equalize relief ex- penditures made over one mil between each political subdivision. but it also increases t'.ze amount of administrative research and detail to qualify.-for the reimbursement under the provisions of M.S.A, 263.7.1,► Be that as it may, the fact that the Village of Crystal has filed its claim places the County Board on notice that large demands may be made against it for reir^bursements by its political subdivisions for the cost of poor relief granted during the years 19529 1953, and 1954. This is particularly true with respect to the -City of Minneapolis. The County Board is, at the present time, unable to arrive at any rational estimate for budget and levy purposes until it is informod by the various political subdivisions of their plans and policy with respect to M,S,A: 263-10-.114128; i The writer would appreciate your early attention to this matter, to the end that the County Board may be apprised 6f the number and amount of claims that may be filed against it. If the writer can be of any assistance or extend further desired information to the officers of the political subdivisions concerned, please feel free to contact the undersigned. GWM:lma Very truly yours., Georg Matthews, CHAIRMAN BOARD OF HE PIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ooa G .s DV I OUQ r -49 . , � A6& 1 , August 10, 1955. - Mr. L. P. Pederson, Acting County Highway Engr., Hennepin County Court House, Minneapolis 15, Minnesota. e Dear Mr. Pederson: k At a recent Village Council meeting, one of the Village residents living .close to 50th .Street suggested that we check into the status of the marking of 50th Street from''Trunk Highway #100 to France Ave as State Highway 90. 1 have written the State Highway Department and under date of August 3, Mr..C. L. Mott advises that this portion of 50th Street is a part of State Aid Road #20 and that it is not an official Trunk highway. He says that because it appe'ax'ed to be an important connecting link between Trunk Highway ##100 and the City of Minneapolis, the Highway Department, as a matter of courtesy and eo- operation, extended Highway 90 marking from its terminus at France Avenue westerly to Trunk Highway #100 as a traffic guide aid. J We are wondering whether it would be possible,to have the highway 90 marking removed so that thru trucks could be somewhat discouraged from using 50th Street. Several instances have been reported of brucks ending up at 59th and France and not knowing where to go. We think that perhaps -it might also be advisable to erect a sign on #169 just West.of the junction with #100 indicating that thru trucks should take #100, dither south or north. Mr. Motl further advised that, "if it is desired that a change in this status be made and that trucks be barred from the use of this road, the matter would undoubtedly need the approval of the Hennepin County Board, particularly so if it was expected that the highway remain as State Aid Road #20." What are the financial implications involved if the.Hghway 90 . markings are removed? Would such action eliminate 50th Street from County financial participation in any future improvements? Would it be possible to have it signed as County Road ##20 rather than State #90? We would greatly appreciate your marwers to these ouestions. • Very truly yours, Warren C. Hyde;a Village Manager.

If it is desired that a change in this status be made and that trucks be barred from the use of this road, the matter wouldoundoubtedly need the approval of the Hennepin County Board, and particularly so if it was expected that the highway remain as a State Aid Road in the Hennepin,County Highway System.- It is, therefore, suggested that you bring this matter to the attention of the County Board..

George Matthews, CHAIRMAN BOARD OF HENT IN COUNTY C014MISSIONERS GWMsla o y -'5 HENNEPIN COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 440 Court House Minneapolis, Minnesota February 14, 1955 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Re: Load Restrictions In the light of our past experience which indicates that there are many road users who are not conscious of the fact that heavy loads cannot use many of our highways during the period when frost is coming out of the ground, we are anxious to call attention to all those who use our highways that it will be necessary toiplace road restrictions at such a time as conditions make the use of the highways critical from a standpoint of possible permanent- damage to the surface and the base on which it is constructed. l -;e willl:endeavor to give you further warning at as early a date a's possible when such restrictions will be placed. As you undoubtedly know, load restriction is the posting of highways.for less than legal loads. Such restrictions are possible at any time that heavier loads will cause a considerable damage to the highway surface and its subgrade. In addition to this provision of .law, there is a mandatory provision of law that covers all sections of unposted highways with the exception of those that are hard surfaced. This provision is as follows: By law, Chapter 695 of the Laws of Minnesota 1949 -- i No person shall operate any vehicle or combination of vehicles upon any County or Town road during the period .between March 20th and May 15th of each year where the gross weight on any single axle as defined in Minnesota Statutes 1945, Section 169.83, exceeds 8,000 pounds per axle, provided, that there shall be excepted and exempted from theprovisions of this section emergency vehicles of public utilities used incidental to making repairs to its plant or equipment; provided; however, that this provision shall not apply to hard surfaced roads. You are urged to make every possible provision to perform all heavy hauling before the period that it will be necessary to limit the loads on the highways. Those who are engaged in the business of heavy hauling, including the movement of construction equipment and machinery, should particularly make the endeavor to have the hauling performed while the ground is still frozen. We wish to call attention to the fact that load restriction laws prohibit the use of a road by all over - loads, including buses. We call particular attention to this because we know of many buses being operated both by transportation lines and'those which transport school children that cannot be lagally operated if conditions of the highways are critical. We urge that those .- operating._such,buses make- arrangements-for-substitute vehicles'to be' used during all critical periods. Your co- operation to preserve our highways from unnecessary damage is earnestly solicited. Very truly yours, L: X,- nan Courity-Engineer LPZ:ek A m March 21, 1955 a r Mr. M. W.

Mitchell Edina.,Village Manager & Engineer 4801 West 50th,Street Minneapolis 10 Minnesota Dear Sir: Re: Proposed Relocation of County Road No. 18 GENEVA 4941 - 484E I have previously discussed with you that we are preparing plans for the future development of State Aid Road No. 18 between Trunk Highway No. 169 and Nine Mile Creek and I want to state at this time that we anticipate purchasing additional width of right of way on the East side of State Aid Road No. 18 to an approximate width of 150 feet. I therefore suggest that no building permits be issued within this area until this department has had an opportunity to consult with the property owner if he should intend to do any proposed construction. We have prepared a layout map showing our proposed width and as soon as we can make a reproduction of this map it will be forwarded to you for your,files. This letter is being sent to you for your information so that you will not issue any permits without the proper set -back. Yours very truly, HENNEPIN COUNTY HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT By: L. P. Pederson Asset. County Engineer. LPP :db
