FOUR SEASONS WATER PROJECT:,Public,hearing opened at 7:49 P.M RE • F111, "SEASONS
WATER
Mr. Charles Spears, 9909 37th Avenue North, asked achy a change of the
water system was,required. Councilman Rintz told him the Four Seasons
System i0as not adequate and had presented many problems. By connect-
Ing to the village water system there now is adequate water for fire
protection. good water pressure and service,for which the assessment
Is made. Councilman Kindseth stated that upgrading of the water in,
that area was necessar; and the assessment iq to pay fdr part of the
cost.
Mr. Tom Teigen, representing Belmar's 4 Seasons Villa, said he submitted
a letter to the Village Manager outlining their position on the mutter
of the assessment period. He said that when, -.they purchased their pro-
perty three years ago the improvements were its and paid for and their
obligations were based on their expenses at thi t time. However, since
the water system has become inadequate they agree the change was nec-
essary and now it is of better quality and the pressure has improved.
They are however, asking Council to considar allowing the $24,000
assessment to be spread over a 30 year period rather than three years.
Engineer Bonestroo explained the circumstances concerning purchase of
the Four Seasons System.
Mr. Harold Posnick said he was told all assessments were in and paid for
when he bought his property three or four years ago and that the services
would be supplied by the developer. Now, he said, we are,,,,' re,, confronted with
a hookup charge of $175 per apartment unit. You say you are taking funds
out of this fund to pay Mr. Bernardi for the aystemb we own the system.
The money should be turned over to the village. I should not be getting
the charge now for an old system. We are bringing something to the comm-
unity with our apartments. We should be charged on a meter basis not a
per unit basis. It is not fair., and much higher than it should be. We
are sitting ducks. Why was Mr. Bernardi allowed ;o put in his system in
the first place? Engineer Hagen said he was alldwed to put it in because
it was more adequate than you could have put one in fors for your apart-
ments. It was adequate at that time but as more developments took place
they were added to the system. If the village had not purchased the
operating rights to this system in order to maintain reasonable fire rates
for your apartments and the people. increased rated would have resulted.
Mr. Posnick said, I would like to know what recourse I have. Something is
wrong, first we pay for the system and get socked again. Engineer Hagen
said you are paying for laterals, there is no trunk line in this addition.
Engineer Bonestroo said the number of breakdowns and service costs for that
system was fantastic I can assure you the Council acted very well in
purchasing it and should be commended for it.

Mr. Teigen said In regard to increased cost of water rates it can be comp-
eneated for by dent control costs and adjusted accordingly, but the
24,000,special assessment period creates a hardship,,for us. Public
hearing closed. Countilman Johnson told him he could make an appeal
within 20 days.

oponed 'at 8:18 P.M. 069-4,04\,
Mr. Reg. Kroskin, 14221) County Roaa h6 commented that the assessment for
his mother's property as excessive. All assessments amount to approxi-
mately $40,000 and he questioned the basis for this. Engineer Hagen told
Itim thpt the assessment was based on how the property is guided to dev-
elop and some areas arts favorable for light comeiercial. Mr. Kroskin
asked if the zoning way guaranteed." Engineer Hagen said if it was not
zoned so,byou would he entitled'to a refynd. Mr. Kroskin said on behalf
of his parents he requests an extension of time to pay, if possible, due
to the fact that they did not purchase the land for development purposes
and they want to conti;iue to live there, but it is economically impossible
with this assessment.
Mr. H. D. Flasch, 1500 Fiat National Bank Bldg., St. Paul, Minn. questioned
what the area charge is and he was told it is $100 per unit. He said his is
300 per omit. Engineer Hagen said the unit charge for multiples and in-
dustrial on bare land is WO per acre lot or $300 per acre equivalent
for sever which is $375 per etre or lis times the residential rate.
Mr. Richard O'Fallon cnpmentec that it used to be that you could not make
a refund. Engineer Haden said a reassessment roll can be made and Mr.
O'Fallon questioned tho cost for same. Mr. O'Fallon said if the land is
set up at a rural rate and becomes counrcial it is unfair to the residential
owner. Engineer Bonesl:roo discussed the area charges, front foot charges
and oversized pipes for this area. Hearing closed.

CENTRAL AREA STORM SEWER: Public hearing opened at 8:30 P.M. RE: PROJ. 069-2D
CENTRAL STORM SkWER
Mr. McDonald of the Circle Star Development Center said the parcel
marked in red on the map is zoned R-1 and their assessment is for
R-4 with a SC rate instead of 20. The light red R-4 areas are
allright but the dark red areas will remain residential and should
be assessed at 2C. Engineer Hagen said he is correct. The frontage
on County Road 06 is guided single residential and'should remain at
the 2C rate.
Mr. Bob Sevey, 14100 County Road 06, was represented by Attorney t'ack
Strothman, 86n N. W. Bank Bldg, Na presented a copy of a letter which
had been sent to the Mayor, Attorney and Consulting Engineer, which
Councilman 3ohnson read to Council. Mr. Sevey objected to the assess -
rent and questioned the benefit to be derived from this project and
said if a satisfactory decision cannot be arrived at, litigation will
result. Attorney O'Brien said after' a review was made of this matter
It is believed the ass^bament Is fair and ;:could not be changed. Eng
sneer Hagen explained the drainage and design of the storm sewer for
future development of the land. Councilman Hintz remarked that his
parcel lies in the center of the project area. Mr. Sevey said this is
money I can ill afford. My land contributes no water to the storm sewer
system. It is difficult to understand why I am paying the same price as
swamp land. I ask that you please consider this before you pass on this
or I will be forced to appeal. Attorney O'Brien told him there is a 20
day appeal period. Mr. A. M. Johnson said many residents feel the same
way about benefits.
Mr. Flasch asked that when a building permit is applied for is the total
assessment due or will it continue to run for 10 years. He was told by
Engineer Hagen that if you are in the Circle Star Business Center plat
or Metro InduRtrial Park there is a development agreement that requires
the full amount to be paid at the time of the building permit request,
but not others. 2.52 of the assessment has been paid by they developers.

than Mr. Sevey's in that he is in the middle of an industrial area whfle
you are not.
Mr. Robert J. Ford, 1 730 Ithaca Lane, sold he quarrels with the manner
in which the project proceeded. At the public hearing we were under
the impression that the Engineer was going to check further on it and
a short time later they started digging. Engineer Hagen said the pro-
ject did not start until after the first of July.' Engineer Bonestroo
s#id the first hearing was held December 1, 1969 and the revised plan
was heard June 15, 1970. Mr. Ford said you must have had it .all set
by the June 15th meeting,,because bids were coming in and bonds were
being sought if the sever and water, could proceed and the staff was
ordered to investigate the matters of assessment to equalize and give
breaks to residents. It was,proposed to be 4c now its changed to 2C
and SC. Attorney O'Brien explained what areac,vere based on the 2C

Councilman Johnson explained the c'ircumstanceo surrounding the con-
tract held by Noyes Construction and the subsiaquent contractor
finishing the project, which matter put the village in a difficult
position.
Mr%i Gene Schware, 1105 N. Quinwood Lfne, asked how the Council, could
act on this assessment when the project, has not, been finished: There
are holes in the streets and I do not -like to Fay for anything not
completed. Engineer Hagen explained that this hearing was held to
give people the chance to pay up their assetisment without interest,
otherwise Interest will have to be paid for the whole year. The Eng-
ineer further explaintf that the bonding company is responsible for
the project contract and the'village will not pay anything until it
is completed satisfactorily.

Mr. Richard O'Fallan said he was concerned why the hearing was left
until October 8th. We usually give a month for reviews. This should
have been planned to give people a chance to disuse it. He further
qestioned the responsibility for the developer's run off in the area.
Engineer Hagen said it is the responsibility of Mr. Fraser and his
cohorts. Mr. O'Fallon questioned laying of sod where it was before
and coverage for fences, planta and private property damage. Attorney
O'Brien said the contractor is responsible to get it back as it was
originally. Councilman Johnson said the village should he advised of
any such matters so they can follovi up on them with the contractor.
Manager Crawford said such information should oe given to him so that
whatever action is required may be taken.
Mr. Bud Manders, 1120 Kirkwood Lane, said he called the village last
fall regarding his mail box and has never sewn anyone. Councilman
Johnson said it will. be checked out tonewrrow.
Mr. Harry Anderson asked if the street restorati-In would be a patch

SEWER EAST MEDICINE LAKE: Public hearing opened at 9:32 P.M.
Mr. R. F. Skarnes, 3270B Jonquil Lane, asked if it is Cow,ril's
policy to go ahead without telling people what is happening until
they see the contractor on his property doing the work and papers
presented for signature without counsel. There is something wrong
with communications. Engineer Hagen said legal notices are published
in the official paper as required by law and an attempt was made to
contact everyone that was on a list submitted by the County Auditor's
office. In some cases the mortgage holder gets the notice. :f a
portion of the lot will have to be taken, a legal notice wo•.Ad have
been sent. Councilman Johnson told him to contact the vOlage manager
or engineer the next day to pursue Vie question on taking some of hie

no objection.

U69 -1.0-C
qtr. Fred Mengelkoch, 10440 Rockford Road, said when this project was
discussed by Council Engineer Bonestroo said that the school.and
Quality Homes Development would pay the entire assessment for this
particular project and we would not have to pay until such time it was
put to use by us. I was told a stub would cost $900. And now it is a
7310 assessment, I do not understand. Engineer Hagen sald'he checked
the Council minutes and found no such reference. Engineer Bonestroo
said Mr. Hengelkoch requsted service after we had gone by acid he asked
Council if service could be providea. We said we would if it is wanted.
We did not intend to and we had to run 600' of sewer and 6044,' of water
lines so he could develop his property. Mr. Mengelkoch sale yes, but
he understood it would be about $900. Councilman Johnson sFid we must
be consistent with what was done in other areas. Mr. Mengelkoch said
he understood the assessment would apply when it was put to use and I
agreed this should be done when it was said it could be done. Enginetir
Bonestroo asked him if he signed a waiver and he said he had not. This
length of the stub was discussed. Engineer Hagen asked if lie was ask-
ing for a deferred assessment on the front footage charge. Mr. Mengel-
koch said lie was told it would be taken care of by the school and Qw-ility
Homes. Councilman Kindseth said he has information regarding the costs
being paid for by them, because his property could not be served by the
line gong to the school. Engineer Bonestroo said Mr. Mengelkouh def-
initely came hack and asked for the stub. Public hearing closed. Mr.
Mengelkoch was told he can make an appeal within, the next 20 days for
reviewai and lie would be notified what decision was made.
