OB�R
OBJECTION
Mr. George Quist
About nine years ago, an agree -
240 Janalyn Circle
ment was made between Mr. Beal
and the Village of Golden Valley
regarding storm ponding. Feels
there must be some record of
transfer of land at that time.
Mr. Carl Quist
The Village spent money on a silt
233 Janalyn Circle
pool and drainage pipe on the
property inquestion. This could
not have been done without Mr.
Beal's consent.
Mrs. Robert Lawton
The price asked by Mr. Beal is too
208 Janalyn Circle
high. The property is not worth
it.

Regular Meeting of the Village Council, July 1, 1958
Mr. Dale Morton
232 Janalyn Circle
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Feels that, since an agreement
was once made with Mr. Beal re-
garding the property in question,
no amount of money should be
allowed beyond a token consid-
eration. Mr. Morton has an unbuild-
able lot west of Mr. Beal*s property
which he states would be available
for the purpose at a much lower cost.
MOVED by Teresi seconded by Flannagan carried to continue the public hearing
at the next regularly scheduled Council meeting. Said continuation to allow
time for a search of Village records for" additional information regarding a
previous agreement with Mr. Beal.
Public Hearing - Parkview Terrace - Watermain:
The Administrator presented an affidavit of publication in the official newspaper
of the notice of public hearing on the proposed watermain improvement as described
in said affidavit. Said affidavit was examined, approved and ordered placed on
file in the Clerk*s office.
The Mayor announced that this was the time and place for the public hearing
above referred to and all persons present who desired to do so were afforded
an opportunity to express their views thereon and all written objections here-
tofore filed with the Clerk were presented and considered as follows:
OBJECTOR OBJECTTON
Milton Nordstrom States his area is just as anxious to get
208 Meadow Lane South water installed as the Parkview Terrace
residents. Wants watermains built on Meadow
Lane also.
Roger D. Swanstrom
508 Natchez Avenue South Has discussed the matter of obtaining City Water
facilities with his neighbors on Westwood Drive
South and Ottawa Avenue South. The people in
these areas are in favor of getting water avail-
able at the earliest possible time. Would like
to see the whole area included in a water petition
and feels that he could get at least 60% signers
on a petition in this portion of the Village.
Does not want to jeopardize the possibility of
getting watermain installed on Parkview Terrace,
but does wish the Council to realize the urgent
need for watermain improvements on other streets
in the same area.

Regular Meeting of the Village Council, July 1, 1958
Frank A. Statt
Believes 90% of the people in the
315 Natchez Avenue South
above referenced area want City
watermains installed. Feels that
while the streets are "torn up"
From sewer installation, the water -
mains should be put in to avoid
continuing with streets in poor
condition.
Robert K. Adams
Has circulated a petition for water
535 Janalyn Circle
in the Janalyn Circle and Glenciest
area. Since the petition had over
50% signers, Mr. Adams questions why
this area was not included with the
Parkview Terrace petition. Is not in
favor of waiting for Village -wide
water survey and Federal funds to help
finance a Village -wide project. Feels
the Village should go ahead with water
improvements as quickly as possible
and attempt to obtain the Federal aid
as the work is being done. Is not
against Parkview Terrace watermain,
but wants to request that the whole
area be included in the present im-
provement.
Kenneth W. Rahn
States that the same problem is in -
2200 Glenwood Parkway
volved as was present in 1953 regard-
ing sanitary sewer installation in
the Northeast corner of the Village.
This was a matter of urgency, and
permission to install small pipe was
requested, to care for the immediate
needs of a particular portion of the
Village. It was found that use of
larger pipe was indicated to provide
for future needs. Feels that poss-
ibly a larger watermain than planned
should be installed so that future
watermain improvements will not nec-
essitate replacement of the Parkview
Terrace Pipe.
PROPONENT
REASON
Stephen Pawlcyn
The Minneapolis City Council approves
515 Parkview Terrace
the present plan for Parkview Terrace,
whereas it set aside the petition of
last year which included a larger area.

Regular Meeting of the Village Council, July 1, 1958
Stephen Pawlcyn (continued)
Charles Reynolds
108 Parkview Terrace
Has talked to Judge John A.
Weeks of 408 Parkview Terrace,
who stated that he was in favor
of a watermain improvement for
the residents on this street.
Does not feel that the pre—
sent petition should in any way
jeopardize the possibility of
getting City Water available
in the remainder of the area.
States that he is in sympathy
with the objectors and their
need for water. However, he
questions whether the Parkview
Terrace petition or the other
areas problem is under discussion.
Wants approval of the Golden
Valley Village Council on the
Parkview Terrace watermains so
that it may be presented to the
Minneapolis City Council on
July 2nd.
Mr. Harry Mayeron of the G. M. Orr Engineering Company was present and pre—
sented the Engineering aspects of the proposed watermain. Mr. Mayeron
stated that, from the Engineer's standpoint, it was very probable that
6" or 8" lateral pipe would be used in residential areas in future water—
main improvements, and that installations of a 6" pipe on Parkview Terrace
at the present time would in no way be a detriment to the plans for a Village
wide water system.
Mr. Ray Sheehan, member of the Golden Valley Water Commission, was present
and stated the views of the Water Commission.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
The Parkview Terrace residents present stated that when a Village -.ride water—
main improvement project is undertaken, they will be agreeable to sharing in
the overall cost of such a project.
