Village Administrator Johnson stated that the $77,000 figure ' | was included in the latter to indicate what the coot mould be for the lowest grade, pooroat,type of /construction -- the cost mould be approximately $7.50 per foot -- as opposed to the proposed �l2B4OOO figure which would enable the construction � ' of streets that are as structurally sound as.aVy other residential! street being built in the Village at this time. . � | � ' ! minutes —3 January 23, 1973 Mrs. Carolyn Lillo, 551 Emerson Avenue, asked if there is any protection against reassessment for those people who own double frontage lots. She wondered if those residents would be reassessed for frontage at the other end of their lots if at some future date construction is proposed for those streets excluded from this proposed project. mayor Huber repliec that assessments would only be made for construction on streets on which the residence fronts. In the case of Emerson Avenue, if Emerson is designated as a State Aid, Street at some time in t future and is improved through State Aid Funds there would only be nominal assessments. Village Administrator Johnson stated that the Council would be reluctant to assess any double facing lots for the cost of construction on both streets. Dr. James Henry, 13 Dorset Road, stated that the streets have adequately served the residents for the past 25 years and requested that a poll be taken of the audience. Robert Edman, 2 Dorset Road, asked if the Council will proceed with the project even if the majority of the residents are again s; it. mayor Huber replied that that question will be answered when the Council votes on the issue. Elroy Isaacson, 573 Emerson Avenue, asked why sodding was include' in the project. Village Administrator Johnson stated that in ordt to do proper excavation with a front—end loader, there must be a minimum of six inches of work space between the edge of the mat and the excavating area -- after the construction is completed if sod is not installed there will be a six—inch strip of mud along the streets. If the contractor puts black dirt along the base it is likely that the edge of the street would be a water—way during rainy periods and water would get under the base of the street. Harold Latham replied that the ruts in the streets are caused by school buses and asked why something could not be done about the school bus routing. Councilman Lockwood stated that garbage and fuel oil trucks are a similar problem but that little if anything can be done about this type of problem. He stated that the Council must keep an ope mind on this proposed project: this area is no different from other areas of the Village where street improvements are needed and the burden for such improvements must be borne at some time. He pointed out that this project was petitioned for because of the drainage problems and because some people are tired of the poor street conditions. He stated that in fairness to those people who want something better in terms of drainage and good streets, something must be done -- nothing can be done about the drainage because of economics, but perhaps with this proposed project, these people will at least have streets equal to streets in other residential areas. Minutes -4- January 23, 1973 mrs. Jo Lockwood, 2 Hingham Circle, stated that she has not heard any comments in favor of the project up to this point and asked that those in favor of the project express their reasons. Arthur miller, 1 Dorset. Road, stated that he would like to have a real estate appraiser state whether this improvement would add to house values. He also asked whether this area is one of the last to petition for street improvements. Mayor Huber listed the streets in the Village which had been improved. Richard Bjorklund, 1260 Dodd Road, stated that he is definitely in favor of the project. He further stated that people must, realize that if this project is delayed for five years or more the total cost will be much greater: the residents of this area deserve good streets now. He also commented that the construction will enhance and benefit all of the property included in the project. Mrs. Arthur miller, 1 Dorset Road, stated that it would be illogical to let the streets remain in their present condition and that if the project is delayed much longer the cost will become even greater. mayor Huber stated that anyone opposing the proposed project may sign his name and address on a list which will be supplied by the Clerk—Treasurer after the hearing. ADJOURN There being no further discussion or comments, Councilman Lockwood moved that the meeting be adjourned.• Councilman Wahl seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Time of Adjournment: 9:40 P.M.

I have been a resident of Mendota Heights for thirteen years and in that time have seen the population grow from 5,028 to 6,565, of which presently 2,655 are children. The need for adequate parks and recreation has grown correspondingly. Our dependency on surrounding communities for recreational facilities is a thing of the past and it is time that we meet our own -obligations.

During this period of time, Midwest has also worked for the Village providing technical planning assilstance in all phases of planning. This arrangement was with the full knowledge and consent of the Village Council.. It is my understanding that the Village Council prepared a letter to Midwest several years ago regarding this working arrangement, but I have been un- able to locate it in our files. Because of my inabiliWto find this letter and even more important, the long period of time yAich has elapsed since this arrangement was first agreed to, I feel this matter should be brought before the Village Council for their consideration again. The working arrangement Midwest would like to continue would allow members of our staff, other than myself, to work with the Northland Company in the continuing, development of their industrial park property, ' with all work done for the Northland Company, subject to the approval of the Village Council in the same manner as any other developer. If the Village Council feels that a conflict of interest would exist, any further dealing with the Northland Company with regards to Mendota Heights would not be considered.

CASE #73-40 KOPP Application for subdivision approval. Mr.'Ruone A. " stated that there was no Planner's report on, this case because Mr. Kopp had not made formal application prior to- o-office officehours on January 10. He s.'aid that all the lots appear to meet the required size and that the road layout seems to be the best of all possibilities, giving good access to all the lots. Mr. 'Kopp wants to subdivide the property into 31 platted lots." i • Mrs. Ridder.said that the problem.is that Marie Avenue will be an east -west thorofare through the Village, and if closed off, where would there be access to Mendota Elementray School. Mr. Ruane said that any road that runs to a school should be of the primary nature. The only access to the school now is from the service road off Lexington Avenue. Mr. Kopp said that if la street is forced into the plans, then he would not be interested in developing it because the street would ? result in a dead end terminating in the school parking lot. Mrs. Ridder suggested discussing the plans with the road engineer to'see what future plans are proposed for a road by the school. She suggested postponing the matter until the next meeting. } Mr. Johnson and Mr. Ruone are to review.the prospects and discuss ' them with the school district. Mr. Schneeman moved that the'case be set for a public hearing at i'x the February meeting. •Seconded by Clemens. All ayes. ' RECEIVED JAN 2 2 1973 RESOLUTION N0. 73-03 On motion of Ald.

In addition to this, we believe that, with improved roads, there will be an increase in through traffic from Dodd Road to Delaware. Ile have been satisfied with the roads that we presently have. With a little improved maintenance, we think they will continue to serve us for some 'time to come. I can ,find better uses for $1300 -at this point.

In so doing I iden- tify myself with a sizeable group of responsible- citizens •echo have been attempting for several years now to get our -streets 'paved. The issue seems to have eluded us repeatedly, and we have remained silent spectators as the problem has been deferred and studied, year after year. Speaking for myself, I have had enough discussion and study. I sense that many of my neighbors feel the same way. 'Ne would like to see a responsive Council take positive action at the earliest possible time to bring the streets of Somerset View up to standards of construction and maintenance which will* at 1 -east compare favorably with those of -the rest of the Village.

The intersection of Dorset Road and Mears Avenue be made a 2 -way, or more preferably, a 4 -way stop. The blatant misuse of these two streets as "speedway shortcuts" to Highway 49 must be curtailed. Our children have had enough close calls. I fepr that the street improve- mprovements mentswill increase their jeopardy. 2. Currently, the portion of our property parallel to Dorset Road receives the sand run-off from the street'•and plugged culverts during each moderately heavy rain. Raking the gravel from the grass is not the most desirable summertime project. Any possible means of relieving this problem would be appreciated.

Considering my past record with my neighbors, I felt I did well to keep my mouth shut, r, and am glad Dick Bjorklund finally came to the defense'of those of us that feel something has'to be done. Another few minutes and I would have been in trouble. '^ After having driven the streets for some 18 years, I think it is time that ' ;• we deserve "something better". 'I think the compromise to the existing Gr. width is reasonable, and believe the only way we can expect to maintain the appearance and value of the neighborhood, is to bo ahead with the improve- ment. I question the 504,N a foot value of an 18" strip of sod which,- `i according to the last•I bought, would be worth about SC a foot- When you consider that this area is about the only one in the Village where the -'t property owners have maintained their lots to the road, it is reasonable to assume that they would continue to do so in the future.

Gentlemen: .I was one of the original signers requesting that the condition of the streets in the Somerset View ar6a be investigated. I commend you and the Council for your investigation, and concur ' with your recommendation that the streets be resurfaced at the present width. ' I also concur with your course of action taken regarding Emerson. The one point I do question, however, is proceeding with the im- provement of the other streets while Emerson is left in its present condition. I am afraid of a significant increase in thru-traffic on Mears and Staples. This,,I feel, would be very detrimental to the occupants of the neighborhood unless stop ; signs are provided at all intersections on Mears and Staples. y . In conclusion, I give your street improvement program a conditional support, the condition being whether Emerson is impioved at the same time, or stop signs are provided at all intersections on Mears and Staples. ■ Oo ert Y� F.

Radabaugh Village Clerk—Treasurer Donald L. Huber Mayor VILLAGE OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 26, 1973 TO: Village Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson Village Administrator SUBJECT: Joseph Kulhanek, 953 Wagon Wheel Trail Request for Sewer Assessment Deferment On January 16 Mr. Kulhanek appeared at the Council meeting requesting that a previously levied sewer assessment be deferred. One of his arguments is in the form of a letter from the Department of Natural Resources noting that "A permit would be required to do any work in the bed of a public water below the normal high water level and it is a policy of the Department not to allow any filling on the beds of public waters below the high water level." The several assessments levied against his two lots have been researched and the following information is submitted for your consideration. In September, 1969 sewer levies were established as follows: Lot 14 (the undeveloped lot partially under water) $1,152.50 Trunk Sewer Assessment Lot 15 (lot with house) $1,025.00 Trunk Sewer Assessment $2,080.00 Lateral Sewer Assessment and service connection $3,105.00 The records indicated that an assessment of $3,352.50 was originally calculated for Lot 14 for sewer in September, 1969. The final assessment sheets, however, indicate that only $1,152.50 was assessed. By deduction it is assumed that the lateral assessment of $10.00 per foot against the 220 foot width, equalling $2,200.00 memo " 2 January 26, 1973 was judged not equitable and hence was dropped. Since the sewer assessment of $1,152.50 equals the Trunk Sewer assessment rate for Lot 14, and since the records do not reflect a lateral assessment against the 220 feet, one can only come to the conclusion that only a Trunk Sewer assessment has been levied against Lot 14 and, in fact, any normal search of the records would reveal no lateral assessment (levied or deferred) against said Lot 14. Our checking also revealed that in October, 1971 water assessments were levied as follows: Lot 14 -- assessment deferred Lot 15 -- $2,290.00 In conclusion then, it is recommended that the current Trunk Sewer assessment not be deferred and that the records be officially modified to show a deferred assessment of $2,200.00 against Lot 14. It must be remembered that any possible change in Rogers Lake elevation would also enhance the value of Lot 14 which may in fact make it a buildable lot in the future.
