HAROLD 8UCKEh~IN. 308 West Hickory Street, complained about the sodding that was torn up. the approach to his driveway and eight feet of curbing that was broken, and he has received a bill for the assessment of a cost of $680.00 plus he paid $200.00 of his money and there will be an assessment of $150.00 for the sewer separation. Then the City of Stillwater put up "No parkingll signs for the next few feet on Hickory Street. He questioned whether or not there had been a hearing on the placing of these signs and felt he should have been contacted about this sign. MAYOR POWELL stated that they had a written request for the "No Parking" signs and it was brought up at the regular Council meeting and the Public Safety Director recommended that these signs be installed. This matter was brought to the attention of the Public Safety Committee this evening and they felt that when they receive requests of this nature, which is restrictive that the abutting property owners should t~ve a voice in this. In reviewing what he had said, the Council realizes that it has been many years since that street has been that wide and in that respect they could improve the method used in ordering the installation of "No Parking" signs. (Mr. Buckentin had requested to be heard on this matter since he had to leave for another meeting) 2. RON LANGNESS from Springsted's appeared before the Council regarding the proposed Bond Sale for the improvements in the Croixwood Fifth and Sixth Aciditions in the amount of $400,000. Also there is a fee charge to cover the cost of the rating and needed Council approval to order the new rating. On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Councilman Peterson the Council authorized Springsteds to ask for a Moody rating for the City of Stillwater at a cost of $650.00. On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Counc~lman Peterson, a resolution was introduced "CALLING FOR PUBLIC SALE OF $400,000 IMPROVEMEi.~T BONDS". (see resolutions) Sale t~ be Tuesday, October 8, 1974) 3. CONTINUED HEAR1NG ON LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NO. 117--ASSESSMENT ROLL MR. MARSHALL explained that Minnie Juhl has a water line and service off Olive Street since 1939 and then in 1958 was provided with a second water service which she has ~ever hooked up to and now another service has been brought in. Due to the confusion he felt that the assessment on Local Improvement No. 117 to her shuuld be abated. This can be handled in tW0 ways, either by adding $100.00 per (continued next page) . , \ l '.... . ./ . t . . Ii ~ I ~ I . ~ A 236 Septembe-r 17, 1974 - contiuued unit more to each property owner on this assessment roll, or the City could absorb this into the Permanent Improvement Fund. On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Councilman Peterson, the Assessment to Mrs. Minnie Juhl was deleted from the Assessment Roll for Local Improvement No. 117 and is to be picked up from the Permanent Improvement Fund. NO ONE APPEARED OTHER THAN MRS. JUHL ON TH1S ASSESSMENT ROLL. The Mayor closed the hearing at 7:45 P. M. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Balfanz a resolution was introduced "ADOPTING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NO. 117 AS AMENDED", (see resolutions) 4. This was the day and time set for the Public Hearing on the proposed assessments for Local Improvement No. 109 (State Aid Street Construction). The nc~ice of hearing w~~ yublished on August 30, 1974 in the Stillwater Evening Gazette, the official newspaper of the City and mailed to all property owners to be assessed. The_t~yor opened the hearing. ALICE ':l'FatEN, 320 North Second Street, stated that their sidewalk was taken up dur.ing the improvement and it was put in about five years ago. It was put in because of the condition of the sidewalk on the other side of the street - it was so bad that everyone used the west side of the street. She felt that they should have a rebate for this item. MR. ELLIDTT - the cost of the street is $100 to $150 and we are only aSSessing the property owners $15.00 per foot - the balance will be paid for by the State of Minnesota. Due to grade variations and the widening of the street it was necessary to take out the old walks and replace them in the new location. COUNCILMAN PETERSON said we had the same situation on Myrtle Street when it was improved - it was necessary to tear out the new sidewalk and replace same. MAYOR POWELL - this doesn't reduce or add to the cost of the job. In order to give a rebate the Council would have to re-do this assessment roll and it would be unfair. The opinion of the Council is that because it was torn up a new one was put in there, it is difficult to make an exception to that. COUNCILMAN THOMPSON - if you are going to this every time you are going to have a variation of sidewalks and it would not look right. COUNCILMAN WOHLERS - he remembe~ed the probl~m very well on Myrtle Street and they were all torn up and some were only one year old. COUNCILMAN BALFANZ - the whole construction area has to be looked at and if it was left in it would be out of grade. MR. ELLIOTT - because of the slope of the street the curb is considerably higher and would not be level and could not be left. They did look at the quality of all of the walks and there were some walls that encroached on the sidewalk and on the street right-of-way and it was impossible to keep the Q1d walks and confine same to the right-of-way. The Mayor closed the hearing at 8:00 P. M. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Thompson a resolution was introduced "ADOPTING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NO. 109 AND SETTING THE 1NTEREST RATE AT 5.75% AND THE PAYMENT PERIOD FOR TEN YEARS." (see resolutions). . . \ I. ~ . . . . ,-.. '-, . . September 17, 1974 - continued 5. This was the day and time set for the public hearing on the proposed assessments for Local Improvement No. 110 (Residential Street Reconstruction). The notice of hearing was published in the Stillwater Evening Gazette. the official newspaper of the City on August 30. 1974 and notices were mailed to all property owners to be assessed. The Mayor opened the hearing. MR. ELLIOTT - there were about four miles of residential streets constructed in this project and it was geared to the separation work. There are seven ton axel streets with varying widths from 30 to 34 feet. The cost per foot is $13.5482 per foot. The original estimate was $14.50. Letters were received from Merrill Stahl and Neal Casey in reference to these assessments. NEAL CASEY, 107 East Laurel Street, had written a letter and also appeared in reference to the south side of East Laurel Street which has never received a curb or boulevard which in his opinion is a potential hazard situation that endangers the safety of ~he pedestrian, especially children using the unprotected sidewalk. He feels it is especially dangerous in the case of the motorcycles that use this street. There is curb and boulevard n~ the north side of the street and feels that the same should be put in on the south side to make it conform. MAYOR POWELL - in ordering the improvement we were concerned about removing the Maple trees on this street and this had something to do with the manner in which this street was completed. MR. ELLIOTT - The fifty foot right-of-way was removed from the State Aid project and it was constructed as a residential street. The easterly portion of that street is 26 feet which is basically for two lanes of traffic. This should be a street where no parking is permitted. The curb has a minor effect as to setting a grade for the street. MR. CASEY - he had appealed to the Council to save the trees and he is the only resident that lives in the middle of the block - all of the others are on the corner. He had no need for a boulevard and no need to park out in front of hi3 house. People who do park there do pull up on the sidewalk - he does not like the looks of it. MR. MARSHALL suggested that possibly that this could be a Change Order to Local Improvement No. 124 - they could rip out the asphalt dnd put in dirt and sod _ it would mean about 150 feet of curb. COUNCILMAN PE~RSON asked when there were band concerts did many cars park there and MR. CASEY said there were a lot of cars and it was impossible to get through that street - they were parked on both sides and up on the sidewalks. MAYOR POWELL - asked what it would involve to remove that portion that abuts the sidewalk and then put in an asphalt curb. MR. ELLIOTT - The curb design elevation wise would be somewhat above the sidewalk- about four inches and the boulevard would slope. We would have to take some elevations and order the bituminous dug out to get the curb in there. This street is only 26 feet wide which is just enough for two driving lanes and no parking. MR. CASEY said if the cars continue to drive over this curb, if put in, they will break it up. MAYOR POWELL suggested that Mr. Elliott and Mr. Shelton bok at the situation and if it is going to be a big undertaking they would be more reluctant to do this. RUSSELL MEISTER, 1019 South Fifth Street, said there are many variations in the street projects and especially on South Fifth Street between Churchill and Hancock and requested that it be put back to what it was before. They failed to take out one manhole and the appearance is very bad. They replaced eight feet of sod and used no black dirt. The water runs down the middle of the street and the catch basins have no grates and they are a child hazard without the screening. MR. ELLIOTT - Stillwater has a variety of catch basins and in the separation project there were over 400 catch basins involved, some of which were 50 to 80 years old and they were in relatively good state of repair. The cost of new catch basins are about $500 and with over 400 of them this would be a $100 item for each one, so in most instances they left in the old basins, but did replace the slab on the top. Some catch basins were left untouched to get the drainage off the sanitary system. . 23'7 \ ! ~ . , . . . . 238 .' ".0 SePLember 17. 1974 - continued COUNCILMAN PETERSON questioned the waves in the boulevards and MR. ELLIOTT said in widening the intersections it was difficult here and something had to be d0~e with the design. The east side was quite low and the West side was much higher. The City is responsible to convey drainage from private property into the stleet - the crown of the street is also shifted to take care of some of this. MR. MEISTER said he would be willing to pay extra to straighten out this matter. MR. ELLIOTT said there were some dollar limitation in this project and other projects are good design, and there should be some grating over the mouth of these basins. and he will look at all of the old ones and replace the grating. COUNCILMAN WOHLERS asked who is responsible if someone slams into one of these and MAYOR POWELL said this could be rectified when the street is done at some future date. MR. ~3ISTER complained about no black dirt under the sod and MR. MARSHALL said tha~ he had gotten calls because of dirt in the street and knew the contractor had put some in. y~. PETER LETIZIO, 1008 South Fifth Street, said he had checked this out and it wasn't black dirt that was put in there and MR. ELLIOTT said that it was tested by Twin Cities Testing and he has a copy of the report in his office. ERNEST BRISETTE, 1308 North Martha Street, complained about the water which runs into his driveway and they also buried a water shutoff in the curb - two foot of curbing was broken off in front of his lot and wanted something done about it. Also the street sign was taken down and never put back up. MR. SHELTON will contact the telephone company about t~lS sign and will also check with the Street Department. GEORGE SEIM. 1219 North First Street, complained about the water from the paved streets coming down into his yard when it rains and comes into his basement. Mr. Elliott and Mr. Marshall examined this and something has to be done as there is too much water coming down from those side streets and it swings around into his driveway. MR. ELLIOTT said he has been aware of it for sometime and it is evident that with a heavy downpour that the gutter capacity is very low. This comes out of the parking lot from the golf course and the pipe that was installed there some years ago at Third and St. Croix Avenue. The first solution would be taking this out; secondly we could install a catch basin north of Mr. Seim's driveway which would intercept much of the flow from Second and St. Croix. MR. MARSHALL - possibly something can be worked out with the contractor for Local Improvement No. 124 and there is no way to stop it without putting up a dam on his property. We should look at the whole problem and do something this fall. On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Councilman Peterson a resolution was introduced "INSTRUCTING THE ENGINEER TO PREPARE A CHANGE ORDER FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NO. 124 TO PROVlDE FOR A CATCH BASIN FOR MR. SEIW'. (see resolutions). MR.. MERRILL STAHL, 1223 North Fourth Street, filed a formal complaint "Notice of Objections to the Proposed Assessment for Local Improvement No. 110-1973" and presented photos to the Council of the problem. MR. MARSHALL - the center line of the street is in the yard of the house across the street, and it would have completely destroyed this property on the east side if it were put in that way. It was resurveyed and we cut off 1% feet on the west side. COUNCILMAN PETERSON - the traveled portion was then encroaching on Mr. Stahl's property. MAYOR POWELL - Would it be possible for the Council to meet here at 4 o'clock tomorrow and look at the Laurel Street Stairs and also Mr. Stahl's property and Mr. Seim's property and let the news media know about this. PETER LETIZIO, 1008 South Fifth Street complained about the crack left in his driveway by Orfie's men. Mr. Shelton and Mr. Becker said it would be taken care of and nothing has been done. Also the approach needs to be fixed as he has to back out at an angle in order to make it without going on the grass, He is also going to have a tough time getting up his driveway in the winter time. Also his front sidewalk has about a 12 inch pitch and his daughter slipped and fell - it is a safety factor and he is not going to go along with this. . . \ I ~"~ ,-. . . . ~ . . << I....) "" September 17, 1974 - continued MR. ELLIOTT -cracks in bituminous are not uncommon and this crack was so remote from Orfie's work and if the contractor did drive up there it should be an insurance claim. MR. SHELTON said that the contractor will take out Mr. Letizia's sidewalk tomorrow. MR. ELLIOTT said that he could show this gentleman the cross-section map of this street and they did not change his driveway and the grade entrance. THE MAYOR DECLARED A RECESS FROM 8,53 TO 9,D5 P. M. .,,: MRS. CLIFFORD AKEY. 1302 North Second Street complained about the steep bank on the St. Croix Street side of their property and that the sod 1s slipping off and nobody has been back to do anything about it. MAYOR POWELL - The City staff has noted this complaint and they will check same out tomorrow afternoon. DENNIS GALOWITZ, 1020 South Fifth Street, complained about the job in the street and the sod and the storm sewer and he had been promised that this would be taken care of and up to this time he has not seen anyone. He asked if the City Engineer felt that all the work has been done. MR. ELLIOTT - There was no gravel base on any of the streets in this project _ the condition was such that it was not necessary to put in a new base for same. The Mayor closed the hearing at 9:10 P. M. MR. KIMMEL - The problems are between the City and the property owners and the corrections can be made after the assessment is levied and he recommended that the Council act on the assessment this evening. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Thompson a resolution was introduced "ADOPTING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT NO. 110, Setting the Interest Rate at 5.75% and the term of payment for ten years". (see resolutions) 6. Me KUSICK LAKE SIUDY COUNCILMAN PETERSON - Mr. Marshall should get in touch with the fellow who is doing this study and if we don't have this report by next week he is not going to get paid. CHUCK FREDERICKSON, 1602 McKusick Lane, said that he brought up this matter to the Council a year ago, and he was told that the study was underway and also told that when it was completed that all of the property owners would be notified and they could attend a meeting so that they could get the results of the study. He was also disturbed because he did not know the person who was making the study is qualifie'd. A question was raised about the dredging of the lake and MR. KIMMEL said it is a question of legal responsibility of the City - there would be a civil damage liability against the City. MR. FREDERICKSON, asked about the request that the City was going to make for funds to take care of this work and MR. MARSHALL said the request was made over two years ago and to date we have no response, but he will check out the files and make some calls on the matter. 7. On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Councilman Peterson the request for a street light on West Lake Street was referred to the Public Works Depart- ment for their study and recommendation at the next meeting. 8. MR. ARVID DETERS, 2319 Oakridge Road, appeared before the Council again regarding his drainage problems which he feels is due to the filling in of two natural ponds in his area and in the last rain he lost his garden. There is quite a little silt that washed in and he wants some relief - he has been promised some- ting for four years. MR. KIMMEL felt it was p matter between the property owners and there is no permit required to grade your property and it was his recollection that is what the City told him the last time he WaS here. The City does not control grades of property. 239 . '.. \ \ l . . . 240 Scpterr.~c~ ~'. 1974 - continued . MR. DETERS said that when Fairmeadows No. 3 was developed they were 8f1:sured that their drainge problem would be taken care of. MAYOR POWELL felt it would be reasonable for the City Council to look at this problem as he would like to see how the drainage could affect someone's garden. MR. DETERS also complained about the traffic to the Croixwood on Oakridge Road and that they have no respect for speed limit and the children. He would like a stop sign there to help alleviate the problem. MR. SHELTON said that Croixwood Boulevard is torn up and this compounds the problem, and the other entrance is on a gravel street. COUNCILMAN PETERSON requested that the Police Department check out the speeding. MAYOR POWELL said we could put up a stop sign and he will confer with our Public Safety Director about placing such a sign on Oakridge Road. 9. GARY FIEDLER, Fourth and Cherry, stated that there is no record of his water hookup and as it turned out he is connected into North Fourth Street and has no need for the connection on Cherry Street. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Balfanz the assessment to Gary Fiedler for Local Improvement No. 112 was abated in the amount of $934.50. 10. Discussion was held regarding abatement of a portion of the assessment for the improvement of North Second Street for Wade Green. It was agreed that this was not a buildable lot. It was suggested that we abate 35% and treat the same as his long side and MR. KIMMEL said this would be consistent with what we have done in the past and also that the other alternative is to assess him on an average residential lot. Also the same consideration should be given to Harry Peterson. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Thompson, the COlmeil approved the reduction in the assessment to Wade Green and Harry Peterson for the improvement on North Second Street. Wade Green - reduced - $612.64 Harry Peterson - reduced - $564.97 UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. The matter of the claim in the amount of $44.00 from John Pominville for a sewer backup. The $44.00 was what the insurance company refused to pay which was a lower figure for the luggage claim and labor for his daughter. Mr. Pominville still insisted that it was his understanding that what the insurance company did not pay that the City would pay. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Thompson that the Council reject Mr. Pominville's claim in the amount of $44.00. (all in favor) 2. A claim from T. L. Casper of the J. A. Goggin Candy Co. for damage to supplies from a sewer backup during the rainstorm of July 29, 1973 in the amount of $405.78. Mr. Kimmel said that the property has to give some proof of negiligence in the arca. The problem occurred on July 29th and the letter was written on October 19th and now we are over a year beyond the July 29th date in which he should have brought action. He should have signed a written claim within sixty days and started action within one year. Mr. Elliott stated that their own system of roof drains added to their problem in this case. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Balfanz the City Attorney was instructed to contact Mr. Casper and advise him what his opinion is and why the City cannot pay and that he could bring action against the City in Conciliation Court.

On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Councilman Peterson the Council approved the abatement of $302.50 to Elbert Field, 913 North William Street on Local Improvement No. 98, since Mr. Kimmel advised that at this late date we cannot assess the former owner and we can't assess the new owner. (TheE was a discrepancy in the recording of the deed on this property and he was assessed for 25 feet which was not his). 11. The matter of the increase in the Volunteer Fire Department Pension was held over until we could get an Attorney General's Opinion on the Police Pension Fund (Reserves).
