DAVID GUST, 301 Edgewood Avenue, appeared before the City Council regarding the ditch on Edgewood Avenue and the Council's decision on the pipe to be put into this ditch. He indicated that he was informed that the decision has not yet been made and he has been appearing before the Council about this matter since 1972, and he requested the status of that ditch problem. DUANE ELLIOTT explained that they put in the survey stakes for this work just this date for the slope of the ditch and that Councilman Mahoney had viewed same this evening and he strongly recommended that the Council, if they have an opportunity, should also look this over before making their decision. The Council did receive alternate bids on this project and the cost of the pipe with sodding to cover would cost $18,336 and with the open ditch it would be $5,060 which is roughly a differ- ence of $13,000. COUNCILWOMAN BO ➢LOVICK felt that her p = ,i f were that it should be a -�..•••.- -••e- - --- pipe rather than an open ditch. MR. GUST felt that the deicsion had been made and asked if the Council could come up with a firm decision to solve the problem. 01 HAROLD KIMMEL said the contractor did not have to know until this spring which way to go on this - the decision has to be made but it was not made last fall and it was specifically indicated in the resolution as an open item. MR. GUST said that it was Orrin Thompson's responsibility to finance the ditch back there and now he understands it is not Mr. Thompson's responsibility as the specs of the ditch were changed and the open ditch is to satisfy the people on Maryknoll and that he and the other people 0' Edgewood Avenue would have to suffer in order to please the people on Maryknoll. COUNCILMAN MAHONEY stated the Council should go out and take a look at the ditch befoe on matter. He said $13,000 and otod the look at it very carefully. ROY BRIGHT, 307 Edgewood Avenue, stated that the open ditch is not going to be a solution in this etting and wishes to convey to the Council that he felt that the pipe was the right way to go and that their property would be detracted from with the open ditch. MAYOR JUNKER indicated ttat the Council would make a decision within the next month on this matter. DEANNA STORBAKKEN, 301 Maryknoll Drive, stated that the open ditch was always there - that is before Croixwood came into existence - she felt that nobody would be opposed ens to a pipe - it could be re- routed. 9 • • • April 6, 1976 /°- COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK asked how many little children were adjacent to the pond and MR. GUST said there are lo to 12 pre - school and elementary children. 2. VACIL KALINOFF appeared before the Council in reference to the property lines on a piece of property on Lookout Street which he has sold and on which the purchaser wishes to secure a building permit. JACK SHELTON explained that there is a mix -up in the location of this street with the different angles and the sewer and watermains could be on a lot across the street. This is only a forty foot street and the sewer and water were put in 1960 and 1961. There is an uncertainty as to whether or not these mains are in the center line of the street as the plat is wrong and nobody will have it replatted. HAROLD KIMMEL stated that the property is going to have to be platted and this is not the City's responsibility. The property owners will have to have the replatting done as it is their responsibility. It should be replatted to conform with the sewer and water - the plat has an error in it - replat using the sewer as the center line or nearly the center as possible. DUANE ELLIOTT stated that at the time the utilities were installed the platting was not discovered - it was impossible to survey from the balance of the plat. He felt that he could work with the surveyor and work out this problem. MR. KIMMEL said the cheapest and easiest way is to file a correct plat. MR. KALINOFF stated that correcting the plat could be recognizing that the sewer line that exists now is apparently not in the street, but Mr. Elliott felt that the sewer and water are not on private property. MR. SHTLTON said that on the original plat it would be in the right -of -way for the forty foot street. MR. KAL1NOFF stated that he is the owner of the property on both sides except for one other owner. He suggested the vacation of the present street and to simply establish a new street and that could be accomplished by deeding to the City the necessary land to put the sewer and water in the center of the street. He would lost considerable land on one side of the street but some would be gained on the other side. MR. KIMMEL said there are all kinds of things that could be done and if the stet lines are in error, then there must be errors in the property lines also. The best thing to do is to replat the area and it can't be that much more difficult than to file a new plat and then have it resolved property. The figures just don't atch and there are open angles. MR. ELLIOTT stated that he world like to talk to Art Holm regarding this matter and report back at the next meeting and COUNCILMAN PETERSON felt that the City Attorney should also be involved in this matter. MR. KALINOFF said that the purchaser of the lot would like to build a house and would like to have a permit issued on the basis that the street would be legally located so that the house will be on a street and the setback of the house will be in keeping with the requirements. MAYOR JUNKER said Duane Elliott will take care of this in the shortest possible time and have a meeting with Art Holm, Harold Kimmel and Jack Shelton. MR. KIFINEL said there is a provision in the statutes relating to errors in plats which is applicable and it is a matter of having the Council exercise it. It would be just correcting the mechanical errors in this plat. 3. MR. CHAMBERLAIN representing Croixgate Development for the Ha.'ge /Hooley property appeared before the Council regarding the petition for the annexation of this property to the City of Stillwater. MR. KIMMEL Mated that he had asked Mr. Chamberlain to contact Max Bell and the other property owners including Consolidated Lumber Company if they were inter- ested in becoming a part of this petition. MR. CHAMBERLAIN said that he had talked to all of them and they are willing to along with it. MR. KIMMEL had prepared the petition and gave same to Mr. Chamberlain for the signatures. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Mahoney, the Council accepted the petition for the annexation of all three pieces of property to the City of Stillwater. (all in favor - see resolutions) AYES -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilmen Mahoney, Peterson, Thompson and President Junker NAYS- -None r • • • • • • 4. This was the day and time set for the public hearing on Case No. 220 Hooley's Supermarkets and Goggin Candy Co. for a Special Use Permit at 902 South Fourth The notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette, the Street. official newspaper of the City on March 26, 1976 and notices were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet. The Mayor opened the hearing. JAMES LAMMERS, representing the petititioner, explained the application which was for the relocation of the Goggin Candy Company to the Hooley Supermarket location at 902 South Fourth Street which is zoned CA Business District and this operation would be Light Industrial.

The activities on -site would be one pickup per day both bringing in materials and picking up finished products. There is sufficient parking and 8 of the present employees do not have cars and this would generate far less traffic than the present use of this building. The Planning Commission emm ende thatttheaSpecial Use Permit be granted as long as they comply Building Inspector. COUNCILMAN THOMPSON commented that a lot of the neighbors expressed the ?r grief in that Hooley's are going out of business at this location. COUNCILMAN PETERSON felt that this would be a benefit to the area because it will reduce the traffic and that neighborhood grocery stores are a thing of the past. The Mayor closed the hearing On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Mahoney a resolution as Candy Company relocate etheirnbusiness Special U at902So South Permit urth Street. AYES -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilmen Mahoney, Peterson, Thompson and President Junket NAY::- -None (see resolutions) 5. This was the day and tie set for the public hearing on Local Improvement No. 141 - West Myrtle Street from Owen to Brick. The notice of the hearing was published on March 24 and 31, 1976 in the Stillwater Gazette, the official newspaper of the City and copies were mailed to all property owners to be affected. The Mayor opened the hearing. 14 DUANE ELLIOTT, Consulting Engineer, explained by use of construction maps the OS details of the improvement. There will be a forcemain installed west of Bric50 Street which will be used at some point in the future to serve the needs acres to the north of the present city limits. This will be a County road and they will share in the roadway costs. There is $24,100 which will be borne by the covered then and the 2,076.91 use. 2,076.91 t of assessible (property an , d it is estimated that this cost would be $12.50 per foot EUGNE BOYCE, 1222 West Myrtle Street, asked if they would be assessed for storm sewers and MR. ELLIOTT stated that the City has shared in the storm sewer costs. Some of the water services will be improved or replaced and that is what will be assessed. GORGE KUTZ, South Holcombe Street, asked about the sewer and water services out- side of the City limits and felt that he and others have paid enough taxes and should not be paying for services outside of our City Limits MR. ere they required h for t the sidewalks, easements e that e would beeneededg walls for the sudding of the area and a shre of the storm sewer costs. WAYNE WOHLERS, 1207 West Myrtle Street, asked about the petition that was pre - last what was and about about vard for ae it would be also if theybcould foot sodded boule- also DIM little bit as they will be having greater speeding problems. April 6, 1976 9 0 • • 1 • • :26 April 6, 1976 /- DAVID HARVIEUX, 1331 West Myrtle Street, confirmed statements wade by Mr. Wohlers and asked who is going to walk on the sidewalks out that way - he would go along with the sodded boulevard since there are no school out there. He was also concerned about the speeding problem and felt there should be better control when they get the new street. DAVID CORBO, 1122 West Myrtle Street, felt very strongly that something should be done about the speeding in the area because of the large number of small children in the area and he would recommend some type of traffic bump to slow down the traffic. WAYNE WOHLERS asked the Chief to make a comment on this and he stated that in order to get the funding we must have the regulation width of street. CHUCK SWANSON, Washington County Highway Engineer, stated that this street would be constructed identically to Olive and also Owen Street which are also 44 foot wide streets. CHIEF ABRAHAMSON stated that the County will be signing the street and that the authorized speeds would be set by the Commissioner of Highways. COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK stated that she sympathizes with these people, but the City did not put sidewalks on both sides of Owen Street and now the residents in the area of the Stonebridge School are asking for sidewalks on the West side of the street and the same thing will happen here - in the future you will probably need them. WAYNE WOHLERS asked how hard is it to put in sidewalks later and MAYOR JUNEER said not too difficult but it would cost more money to do it that way. COUNCILMAN PETERSON asked Mr. Swanson if it will be necessary to change Myrtle Street and he replied that they will be obtaining slope easements in certain locations for the rubble walls. COUNCILMAN PETERSON stated that they are required to put in sidewalks on the County State Aid Streets - Croixwood Boulevard they are required to put in sidewalks and it is a policy that the City has had in the past few years and he felt it was a good policy that it be done at the time of the construction and that people come from other streets to use these sidewalks. ALDEN NELSON, 111 South Brick, objected to a bicycle path which will be put in beyond Brick Street at which point the sidewalks would terminate. DAVID HARVIEUX, questioned why there were not sidewalks put in on Olive Street which has many children walking to the schools and there is no school on Myrtle Street at the present time in feet nothing out that direction. If a school is put in at some future date, then there would be a need for sidewalks and they would be completely depleted by that time, or have to be replaced. WAYNE WOHLERS asked Councilman Peterson if he would consider the sodded areas and then when the sidewalks are need to bring in a back -hoe and put in the sidewalks at a later date. COUNCILMAN PETERSON felt that the sidewalks are needed now and should be put in the project. ALDEN NELSON felt the Cpuncil was presumptuous that a school would be built out on the property owned by the School District. COUNCILMAN THOMPSON said he would like to see a sidewalk put in as they will have other cement work being done there now and it would be cheaper to do it as part of the original project. GEORGE KUTZ complained about sidewalks not being shoveled in other areas of the City and that it is necessary to be at the mercy of the drivers when ped- estrians have to walk in the City Streets. THE MAYOR DECLARED A RECESS FROM 8:50 to 9:00 P. M. WAYNE WOHLERS asked as to where the children would walk on from Brick to the property now owned by the School District if a school were constructed on this site and he was informed that there would be bicycle paths which could be used by the pedestrians. He also asked Chief Abrahamson what his recommendation would be for the traffic control on this street and he said he would recommend a four -way stop sign at Brick and Myrtle which was very acceptable to Mr. Wohlers. CHUCK SWANSON stated that they are proposing to do their share in providing for bicycle and pedestrian paths beyond the City Limits and could possibly go all the way en Mahtomedi. • April 6, 1976 TED GILLEN, lUil West Myrtle street, made refei.en e t LLL petition submitted to the City Coordinator at the last meeting and wanted the Council's feelings on this matter. He felt that for the amount of pedestrian traffic in that area the sodded areas would take care of the problem and he made reference to a lot of "ifs" involved in this proposal. the stated that boulevards, but five years may also upset these people. e cost of the sidewalks in TED GILLEN felt that the major portion of the $12.50 cost was for sidewalks and MR. ELLIOTT stated that if the sidewalks were taken out of the project he would have to look at different figures. N CILM A with N PETERSON stated e in hatvhe accepted the as such, but he did not COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK asked Mr. Gillen waht his costs were on the Owen Street project and he said the total cost was 45sfeetconcthatistrees eet The figure was $9.50 for the curb, gutter than the $11.00 per foot estimate. COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK would like to honor the request and felt that this street is a race track and as such this should justify the construction of the side- walks and felt it was needed. They saw what happened on Owen Street and it could also happen on Myrtle. COUNCILMAN THOMPSON said that he did not see a desperate need for this right now but as more development is created and more traffic, then it will be needed- could leave it go in greass for five years it is going to be needed if we have a development. COUNCILMAN MAHONEY stated that if the sidewalks did not go in, the County would require the City to pick up additional costs which might even bring the cost figures somewhere within the $12.50 range without the sidewalk. MR. ELLIOTT stated that the assessment on Owen Street was $9.50 per front foot and if the Council should consider the differential level they could petition that this be a part of the State Aid cost - this was a consideration to keep the sidewalk and have an assessment level more acceptable to the people. The City must pick up all of the easements and retaining walls and it came out to $12.50 per foot. This is in keeping with the past level of assessments for streets. MR. KIM MEL stated that the City has three different assessment policies - County State Aid Streets, Residential and State Aid Streets and there are City streets with a sidewalk that would be assessed at $14.00 for the street and $5.00 for the sidewalk. State Aid Streets the assessment is for both the cost of the side- walk and the street. The City has a working arrangement in that they will re- imburse the County for off -site improvements and we have assessed the property owners what was the approximately cost of a residential street and the City is not assessing the entire cost back to the property owner. The $12.50 is an estimated assessment which bears little reimbursement to the total cost of the 1 -4 project - it is what the City will reimburse the County for the costs. M7 VERNA JOHNSON, 1018 West Myrtle Street, asked about the regulations in the ordinance regarding the riding of bicycles on sidewalks or streets and she was informed that they are subject to the same rules and regulations as the driver of a car so they must ride in the street and obey the same rules and regulations - they do not need a license. VERNA JOHNSON also stated that there are very few children in the area who walk and she was in favor of a good concrete curb and sod to the curb. She is a Senior Citizen and cannot afford to pay someone to shovel all of this proposed sidewalk. MRS. HARRY SEEKEL, 102 South Sherburne, complained about the pebbles on the sidewalks in the area and it is impossible to walk on the sidewalks and it is necessary to use the streets. WAYNE WOHLERS questioned the cost without the sidewalks and MR. ELLIOTT could not at this time tell him how much but it should be less. MRS. ERNEST ROETTGER, 1202 West Myrtle Street, complained about the rocks in her yard from the showplowing. be0assessed N that costs will to $18.00 - $20.00 per foot.
