Public Hearing - Storm Ponding - Birchbank Addition, Ralph Beal: The Administrator presented an affidavit of publication in the official news- paper of the notice of public hearing on the proposed storm ponding as descri- bed 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 described to do so were afforded an opportunity to express their views thereon, and all written objections heretofore filed with the Clerk were presented and considered as follows: 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. 1 130 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. 1 1 1 131 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. 13 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.
