DISCUSSION REGARDING IF AND WHEN 39TH AVENUE NORTHEAST FROM �AST RIVER ROAD WAS VACATED AND IF SO, WHEN, AT WHOSE REQUEST: (ON AGENDA AT REQUEST OF COUNCILMAN LIEBL) The City Manager said that he had been asked the status of the easement at the north end of the N.S.S.S.D, property. He said he asked the City Attorney to check this out. The City Attorney said he did not have all the Eacts yet on whether or not it has been vacated. He said he did not find any evidence that it had been vacated. Councilman Liebl asked if it would, then would it be considered a street. The City Attorney said yes, unless something else comes to light, The City Manager said N.S.S,S.D, had stated they could find no records on thi� at Anoka County. Councilman Liebl said then it might be that the fence was put across public right of way. The City Attorney said the City Engineer thought it might be a question of whether there was a dedicated street or a private easement. The City Engineer suggested this be laid over to the next Regular Meeting. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to table this item to the next Regular Council Meeting.

DISCUSSION OF SEVJER AGREEMENT WITH MOUNDS VIEVl: The City Manager said that representatives from the Village of Mounds View came to discuss with the Finance Director and himseli, the question of how the residents hooking onto the sanitary sewer line would pay. The Finance Directaz said that 3 residents are currently hoo]ced onto this line naa. He said that the area is a 2 block area on Sta.nson Boulevard south of Osborne Road. He said they would pay N.S,S.S.D, directly and would pay the same use charqes and the same connection permit fee as the City o£ Fridley. He explained that this is �ust in preliminary stages and will have to come bacY, �I l il �µ r � ,��,�� REGULAR CDUNCIL MEETING OF J1�INUARY 20, 1969 PAGE 10 ior Council appraval later. The main question is, is the Council in agreement with this. Councilman Sheridan said that then we would be billing the Village oi Mounds View directly, and the Village of Mounds View in turn would bill the residents. Councilman Samuelson said he thought that the billing sh ould be based on a sliding scale. The Finance Director said that for the year 1969 it would be $6.88 pe�r foot. Councilman Samuelson said he thought a cut-off date for any partacular figure shou�.d be established. Councilman Sheridan agreed and commented that then in 1970 the rate would be re- negotiated, probably at a higher rate. He said he felt �hat Mounds View would like an established figure for 1969 and sug- gested the figure o£-$6.88 per foot as the Finance Director recommended . Mayor Kirkham then suggested that the Council move on to th e items the audience are interested in. DISCUSSION OF ADDITIONAL ACTION COUNCIL DESIRES OF ADMINISTRATION PRIOR TO CONSIDERATION OF RESOLU'PION ON STORM SE4VER PROJECT #80: Councalman Harris said that this problem is still open and more discussaon and research will be necessary be£ore making a deter- mination. T3e said that he would suggest that the Ca.ty Engineer, Consulting Engineer, City ManageY and the Council set a date far discussing this and ironing out some of th e various problems. Councilman Sheridan said that although he was not at the Public Hearing Meeting, he did go over the Minutes carefulZy, and agreed with Councilman Harris that a meeting should be arranged. He suggested some kind of a ten year storm sewer program similar to the ten year street improvement program that has been put into effect, to include all those portions of the City not now in- ciuded in a storm sewer district. He said that he felt thaf. the ten year street improvement program was acceptable to the Citizens after they understood it, and perhaps something like this could be worked out for the storm sewer systems sta.11 to be installed. Councilman Samuelson agreed and thought there would be less con- fu�ion on the part of the Citizens if a long range storm sewer proposal was presented. Councilman Harris agreed and felt that after a staff and Council Member meeting, more concrete answers could be given to the people. Councilman Lieb1 agreed, and com- mented that there were streets petitioned for that cannot be done because oP the necessary storm sewer. He said that it-just is not possible to put in a street without sol.ving the storm sewer problems first. � , � � � � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 20, 1969 PAGE 13 they do not want T.H. -I#65 West Service Road South oi- Minnesota Trans=er Railway improved. MOTION by Councilman Harris to adopt Resolution ##13-1969, with the West Service Road of T. H. #65 from Rice CreeY to Minnesota Transf-er Railway Track Right of Way NorL-h Line deleted from the project,�and that that portion oi 63th Avenue and 7th Street needing storm sewer be held in abeyance. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor ICirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. A Visitor to the Meeting saa.d that they were in £avor oi the water line but not the street improvement on 66th Avenue. Another Visitor agreed with him. Mr. R.D. Habel, 392 66th Avenue said that he did speak in favor of the street impravement, and that he was in favor of the package deal, as was the majority at the last Meeting. Mayor Kirkham told x.he people in opposition that this has already been voted upon, and their only recourse would be a petition against the project, if chey so desired. Mr. Hab�l said that he understood that the assessment would be higher, i� they did not put in the street this year. The City �ngineer said that that was correct as it would entail new studies �or the cost as every service would have to be jacked under or trenched across the street every 70' - 80'. They would also have to cross the main at 67th Avenue to the south. This way of putting in the line would be much more expensive. Iie added that keeping 66th Avenue in adequate condition also cuts into the maintenance funds. Mr. Habel said that many years ago, there was talk o£ putting in the water main, and at that time the cost would have been about $200. It seems that the residents are being penny wise and dollar foolish. In 5 years time it will cost still more. Mayor Kirkham told the objectors that L-he Council would be liappy to consider any petition they would wisl� to circulate. Mr, Habe1 asked if this wauld include sodding and blac]c dirt, Mayor Ka.rkham said that that would depend on how the bYd was let, It has been found to be cheaper for the people to put in their own dirt and seed than to include it in the specifications.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 20, 1969 PAGE 11 � The City Engineer said that he would sugqest putting in the streets that are possible now and agreed with Councilman Sheridan's proposal for a long range plan whereby the districts would be large enough to keep the costs down. MOTION by Councilman Harris to ask the ?�clministration to set a meeting with the Council as soon as possible for consideration of this starm sewer problem, so that it can get back on the Agenda as soon as possible and still possibly be included in the 1969 imnrovement pro�ect. Mayor Kirkham said possibly the storm sewer could be put in, in the future at 68th Avenue and 7th Streei: if enough easement width cauld be acquired. Councilman Liebl said that this was one of the things that would have to be consic7ered. Mr. Thayer said that this proposal was brought before the people about 3 years ago and it was turned down. Nothing has been done to change the original plan. Iie said that when the developers of Christie Addition put in their storm sewers, they realized that � they would have to run north to Riae Cree]s, and it was not devel- oped to drain the Riedel property. He asked that the ramifications be considered carefully beiore any decision i� made. Councilman Samuelson said that they Pelt that the cost a� a new study would be an unnecessary expenditure until the ieeling o£ the people was determined. Mr. Thayer said that he felt that it would be hard to prove any benefit to the people. A Visitor to the Meetiny asked why it cannot run south. Mayor Kirkham told him that this will be looked into at the staff ineeting. Mr. Thayer brought up the point that a dollar held in abatement in 1954, is not the same as the dollar in 1969; there is no equalization. THE MOTION by Counca,lman Harris waS seconded by Cauncilman Samuel- son. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Nayor Kirkham declared the motlon carried unanimously.

Councilman Liebl pointed out to the people in the audience that they would have the option to hook up when they wished. The City �') �� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 20, 1969 PAGE 12 �� Enganeer commented that this would complete the utilities in this street. He added that iF the street is not put in with the water Iine, it will cost more ior the water improvement. Councilman Harris added that the cost oi the water la.ne would include patching of the street etc „ but ii the street would be put in later, the people wauld actually be paying on the street twice. A Vis?.tor asked if there was any time limit as to when a person would have to hook up. Mayor Kirkham said that the residents could hook up at any time they wished, as a residential hookup would not disturb the street. Councilman Sheridan added that in the event that a weZl became inoperable, however, they would not issue any new well permits and the residents would have to hook up. The City Manager said, as was pointed out befose that a resident could hook up to the water line, but retain the well for use in sprinkling, so long as the well system is separated trom the City system. A Vasitor asked how long it would be between the time the street is torn up to put in the water line and the completion of the street. � The City Engineer said that a contractor cannot always schedule his work exactly, but that the street would ]ae completed by the end of September. As it is required to let the contract on a com- petitive bid basis, xt will be 2 or 3 months before the contractor can dig. He also pointed out that we like to see�the trenches settle for a month before L-urther work is done. He added that the watar line would be about 7' deep. A Visitor said that it was his undexstandiny that a street assessment is spread over 10 years with 6/ interest. He was told that was correct.

Seconded by Council- man Liebl. Councilman Liebl said that he would like to have the Administration find out the costs of puttiny in a sidewalk on the east side of East 12iver Road. The City Engineer said that there was not enough right of way on East River Road £or 5idewalks and it would make it extremely dangerous for children to walk along this street. He showed an alternate propasal that he said that he would like to propose to the School I�istrict #14 showing the walk-way down Riverview Terrace. Councilman suggested condemning some l�nd on 61st Avenue 100' further south, L-hen signali�e the intersection. The City Engineer said that the signals will have to be complete 5emephores, rather tlzan flashing signals. The Ca.ty Engineer pointed ou� that along Riverview Terrace the City already has most of the necessary right of way, the south portion would be just a walk-way. The City Engineer said that this will have to be discussed with the School Board, and that he did not think that enough right of way could be obtained without condemning some homes on East River Road. Mr. Richard Harris asked ii there would be sidewalks put in in the sou�.h portion of Riverview Terrace. The City Engineer said no, that easements would have ta be obtaaned, then it would be �ust a walk-way. He said that he felt that this is the most reasonable and safest way.
