Mrs and lore. Harold Hytjan appeared to request the surfacing of 11th RE: MUEST M
Avenue North in front of Lots 13 and 14, Block 29 Glen Echo Addition. SURYACINQ, 11TH
Ares Hytjan stated that the plat of Glen Echo Addition was approved by AV& NORTH
the Council in September of 1955 and recorded at the Hennepin County
Court House in Book 136 and signed by Phil Eckes and Henry Jordan. In
At,gust of 1964, she appeared before the Village Council to question the

front cif these two lots there is a 30 foot wide road and that this road
would be maintained and accepted by the Villages She stated that on
July 9, 1966, the Engineer had stated that roads in whiob sewer is installed
would be covered with a four inch gravel bass anti a tvQ inch blacktop mray.
The H,ytjar_s had requested that sewer service be ft=tended to serve their
lots and they feel that they axe entitled to a tlaektop road as part of
the sewer project. Tn lieu of this, they feel they a:•e entitled to a
reduction in their sewer assessments
The Village Engineer stated that these lots were sAoluded from the original
sanitary sewer program because the gravity flow was in the other direction
wid it did not look like they were very usable lots. Later, bras Hytjan
requested sewer to be extended to serve these lots. However, th`Le road
was not brought up to minimum specifj,oations before they sewer was installed

and he feels that the Village has an otligation to return it to its
original state. This road as tt exit tr. now, even if it were improvea
to n blacktop suface, would create cow-jiderable maintenancA problems
for the Village.'beeaust the 30 icot right-of-way is entirely ;LWAequate

Xr. Bill Clifford appeared and inforwed the Council that he would not 'oe
in favor of further asiasssments for the improvement of 11th Avenue North.
He also requested 10,onfirmation of the feet that the blacktop would extend
to the edge of his lots. The ildminioxtrator stated that the blacktop
would extend to a point at which the full 60 feet of right-of-way ends
and he believed that this was at tht and of Xr. Clifford's land. liayror
Staples pointed out that any improvement would be assessed against the
abutting property owners.
Councilman Hunt suggested that an additional right--of-way in aogwkred to
make this a 60 foot road and the cost be assessed. against tht, bensfitte+d
property owners. The Engineer stated that to M.a upinion, the bank ie so
high that it would not be in the best interests of the Village tr: imlirove
this road unless additional right -+)f -way is obtained for nncessa y shoo
storage and a cul -de -lean. This could cost the Village up to $2, ?OCA 'to
cut the road through.
hayor Stap.'..ei suggested that there were three N.-tossi.ble solui ior:.a: 1)
table the na,.ter, 2) do not blacktop all, all rr 3) obtain an add.tional 30
