August 15#
Pursuant to due call and mice thereof, a special meeting
of the Village Council of the Village of Golden Valley,
Hennepin County, Minnesota, was duly held at the Village
Hall in said Village on the 15th day of August, 1952,
at 7:30 P.M.
The following members were present: Pinch, Putnam, and
Stark. Absent were Stasel and Reiss.
This was a special meeting called to discuss the roads
in Golden Oaks 2nd Addition. Present by invitation were
Mr. Russel Smith, Mr. Winn Hinderman of the Asphalt Institute
and the following representatives of J.W. Craig construction
Company; Malan, Curtis and Samison.
The Administrative Assistant introduced Mr. Hinderman and
stated that he and Mr Hinderman had made a complete and
detailed study of the street improvement project in Golden
Oaks 2nd Addition, and had, in addition studied many of
the Village Roads which have broken up in the last
two years. Mr. Hinderman in effect stated that his studies
caused him to conclude that most of the street failures
were due to the following causes, or a combination of them:
One: An insufficient base. Two: Poor dra-nage. Three:
Effluent from private drainfield and/or cesspools.
When asked for his opinion concerning theadvisability of
using material from the Village Gravel Pit in Golden Oaks
2nd Addition, Mr. Hinderman stated that he would not
recommend its use other than as fill or sub -base, that
material from said Pit hasno crushed rock in it nor is
it of the proper consitency for use as a stabilized base
over which to lay bituminous surfacing material, that is,
said material varied as to amount s of clay and in the
size of the gravel. That material from the pit would
in many cases make an excellent traffic bound gravel
street, but would probably go to pieces if such a gravel
road were surfaced with bituminous material.
After further discussion it was moved by Stark, seconded
by Putnam, carried, that the Craig -Construction Company
be instructed to proceed according to the contractual
specifications in constructing roads in Golden Oaks 2nd
Addition, that no more material from the Village Gravel
Pit be used in said addition unless called frby the Village
Engineer, and that where material from the Village
Gravel Pit has been used to the benefit of the street
under construction recovery should be made from the developer
