stated that if City will put in street imp..rover�nts, they wi11 take care oi

easementsa Om the question of water, Mre Knutson pointed out tha.t water has not
been designated as yet, because source of supplp has not been determined by the
City oF I�'ridley, which irill have an effect on determinir� serv3.ce for this areao
It is c:ontir�gent that a i2" �ater main will go up Johnson Street. The matter oi
serving double lots wiih vater can be effected by Fridley sour�s, or they can
use long servicea Mra Fontains moved to accept this prelimirrary plat, subjec�
to ths granting of utility essements, as reco�snded by Consulting Fngineers,
3econded by Mro T:andel, and unanimously carriedo
Considerat�.ion wae next given ta the request by idilliam Sippel for �Lhe pro�
` posed resrran�ement of Lote 1 through llt� and I,ota 16 throu�h 31, Block lOs
Spring Brook Park Addit3on, and the rezoning from R�1 to R�2, outlot �!E1, in the

would like to erect a nine uni� agartmant build�ing on outlot �.. It was sugggs�
tedt by Mr. Segner3 that �ots 5 and b coula be cut down in size, to get better

loaked over before makin� thig consideration. A mation was made� by T�r. I3and�Is
to accept only Lots I through b, inelusive, on revised p2a�, with the stipula-
tion that Lot 5 could be reducod to 80 f�et faci.r�g on Liberty Street� and 'that
Lot 6 conld be reduaed to 75 feet facing on Liberty Street, which w�ould provide
an extra 15 feet for the triangular sectiori in the S.W. corner. Seconded b�
t�`ss Fontair�e and carri�d. This was a p�ablic hearing.
Not�: It was learned thi� date (Aup,ust 12, 1959) �x�► an outside source, that the
deve�.oper of this piece of p*operty has the whole proposed prelim:inazg plat up
for sale; and he exp�cts to Ieave this area, with ths expec�cafa.on of a real es�
tate firm taking over such lando Rea1 estate firm has the expectation that the
present 50 faot wide nor�h and south service road would be vacatQd by the City,
and thus become a part of said pla'� in the S.Wo corner; while i.n return, �he City
could possibly take over the �ii.nneapolispAnoka Caytzna Range abandoned railraad =
50 feet in widtho Inasmuch as c7.ear title cannot be procured, du� to lack of
kna:rled€;e as to actual ownership, it was ielt that this portion of the proposed
plat, doaling with service road and railroad areas, should be comp�.e�e1y di�re-
garded. This �ras a publi� hearir�go
As ti�re was no one present to speak for or against the request of Alfred
Jensen for r�zonin�� it was decided to table this r�a�cter� and wait to see �he�her
or not City will acquire this land far service road, for own use.
Next, Mr. Norman Pfaff, representa.tive of the iiidiand Cooperatives, Incorm
porated, presented a plat, statin� thai they are interested in erectin� a sma3.i
^ offies. (approxi.mately 2ltfl x 30°) south of their pres�nt structure, for fuel oil
office salea. Mr. Segner pointed out that the proposed i�idland Oifice Building
would have �o be set baek �ar eno�zgh on the property, to a11ow ior any futwee
widening of Main Street? by the County� for heavy duty traffic. He further
stated that the County proposes that r�Iain Street will be carried across HigYrs�ay
#100 on a contemplated brid�e, Mr. Fontaine moved ta accept proposed p1at, with
the stipulation that the bu3lding will be set back at least 100 feet.
The matter of sewer and�water for the proposed Robert Hall. Clothi.ng Company
was next considered. The City Enpinser explained that he had contacted most of
the proper�y owners in this axea� and tha� they are �illing to pay their proporw
tionate share for a 6" �ater 1ine, to serve the areao He further stated �hat
these connections would give proper�ty owners a greater advantage in selling their
properties. Mr. Lester Knutson stated that there has been an oral request for
water and sewer services along the easement i.n the Marian Hills Addition, and
that they have worked out eatimatec3 coste in bringing the water line over from
the Marian Hills Addition to the Robert Hall property. The City Engin�aer point-
ed out that water should be conti.riued, at this t.im�ea on up northxard to include
all p�opertiea to Lot l; in viex of the fact that th� abave mentio�tsd pz'operty
oxnera are in favor oi it, and are willix�g to give the neaeasary atreet d�dica-
tioa�. A�motion wae made by Mr. Fontaine� to sug�est ta the Council that ti'e�r
