IMPROVEMENTS
Item 6-A
Bob Scribne., 2015 Lancaster lane, felt that the high traffic volume
andha`Lards on South "hore Drive suggest that the 10th Avenue project
is needed and that the intersection of South Shore Drive with 10th
Avenue should be as much of a right angle as possible to discourage use.
HenryOlson, 10717A - 10th Avenue Ncrth, protested the improvement to
the extent that mobila homes would be disrupted. He requested that an
alternate route be considered to avoid disrupting homer. in the area.

Jim Olson, Consulting Engineer, indicated that Alternate 1 would require
the removal of five mobile home units, b»t that Alternate 2 moves the
centerline c .ne road to the north averting the need to move these homes.
Mr. Olson pointed out that these two basic alternates could be varied
and that the final determination might be based upon economic factors.
David Me Fink, 1045 Nathan Lane, indicated his property is immediately
north of WeFproposed street and the proposed pmject would create a
debt against his property, Acting Mayor Spaeth responded that when Mr.
Fink built upon that property he dedicated a portion of the property as
an easement and therefore must have known that the street was proposed
vor eventual completion. Mr. Fink stated that the south side of the
street had not been dedicated, creating more uncertainty about the pro-
Ject implementation. Consul`ing Engineer Oisoa responded that the South
half of the street has now been dedicated.
Robert O'Hara, 10717A - 10th Avenue, stated that the 10th Avenue proposal
does not arefit mobile home park residents and wanted to know what the
eventual plans were for the bridge over T.H. 55. He further indicated
that the project did no` benefit senior citizens. Finally. Mr. O'Hara
asked whether the proposed road would affect drainagr in the area by
damming up the natural drainage way.. Consulting Engineer Olson indicated
that the birdge project over Highway 55 has peen proposed but is not in
the County's 5 -year Capital Improvement Program nor in the 20 -Year
Projection of Needs. En3ineer Olson also indicated that Vic, effect of
the road on the marsh area has been review with the Basset. Lreek
Flood Control Commission and Dept. of Natuel Resources and that pre-
liminary discuss6*3ns suggest that the design is accAptable.
Gari E. Persian. owner of a 20 -acre parcel in the southeast section
of E project, indicated that the project is not needed since he
already has water and sewer. Mr. Persian fut-ther stated that a 9 -ton
road was not necessary in this area.
David 8uzzelle, 10222 Scuth Shore Drive, stated that traffic hazards
on 5uth Shore Drive require a new roadway in the area.
Robert Foster, 10717 - 10th Avenue North, stated he did not feel that
a "h gh ay"or "freeway" type of roadway would be necessary to service
this area. He stated that he was under the impre!!sion that a collector
status street was much smaller th,n what was bein(i considered at this
time for the improvements to 10th Avenue North. ' . Foster added that
the intersection at Highway 55 was of major concu,ii to him in that, at
the present time, it was a very dangerous intersection for all types of
traffic, cars and trucks alike.
Joe Pazandak, 1115 Nitthan Lane, stated that his main concern was with
t atof truck turning movements on Highway 55. Currently, due to the
status of the intersection, many vehicles are cutting across the
Minneapolis Auto Auction property.

Harry Foster, Sun Valley Mobile Home Park, stated that he felt -ere
was a severe traffic problem in th(t area and added that he was confident
the City would find an adequate Answer to the problem in the near future.
Fla thanked the City for their cooperatior, with the neighborhood in the past.
Mr. Foster reiterated the concern for truck turning movements and the
dangerous situations this presented i., this area at this time.
Phil Martinson, Sun Valley Mobile Home Park, stated that he was concerned
with the amount of assessment for the individual horraawners in the area.
He stated that rl.any of the occupants of the mobile home park were eiderly
people or people cn fixed income'. not able to afford the assessments that
would result from this project.
The hearing was closed at 8:19 p.m.
Council discussed the matter in further detail v.ith the Consulting Engineer
Olson. Acting Mayor '-')paeth asked Mr. 01 ^n to present the alternatives
available for the alignment of the roadway to the Council.. Two alternatives
were discussed in detail, in par, 0 cular, the northerly alignment proposed
Alternate 8). Councilmember Seibold questioned when construction could
beyin in the project if if were ordered immediately. Engineer Olson re-
sponded thct construction would likely begin in the late fall, 19718. or
winter, 1978, d1,e to the advantages of working in the cola seaso,, on
the type of soils involved in this area. Acting Mayor Spa h stated he
felt more information w s not-ded regarding other possible Inments of
the roadway. Councilmembe- 11ibold stated he felt it would ci:, important
to mairtain the City's past practice of interrupting the neighborhood as
little a^1 possible when reco,itmending public improve.nerits of this nature.
He added that he supported an ilignment that would be as far north as
possible. Ccuncilmemh--- Neils stated !ir felt it would also be important
to determine the degree. of City participation necessary in orde. to
determine cost feasibilities for any given alignment of the proposed road.
He also expressed concern tnat the stacking distance be a major considera-
tion in any alignment proposed for the roadway. Councilmember Neils stated
he felt further information was needed in order tc. make a final decision on
this matter, such as costs to the City in terms of relocation costs and
purchaFing cL is should it he necet., iry '.c condemn resicentai1 property
for any of the alternate alignments t i ',oth Avt nue North. Councilmember
Seibold stated that he felt the City should maintain its postare of showing
as much cor,sideratior for the neighborhood as possible ;n order to disturb
the neighborhood as little as would be necessary with the new alignment of
31h Avriiue North. Uuncilmember Hoyt stated concern that Vie alternates
prolt'lel should take into consideration the most northerly route possible.
Actir,y 'ayur Spaeth stated concern for the staling problems that might
occur to lvt- Avenue due to the soils in the area.
MOTION TO DEFER v, .sde by Councilmember Neils. seconded by Council-

Councilmember Neils qu(stioned whether the proposed route for
the interceptor would be north or south of the rNoposed new
alignment of the intersection of new County Road 9 and new
County Road 24. Engineer Olson responded that it would be
aligned north of the new intersection,
4udy Baul2y, 4130 Juneau Lane, stated that site had been told that
the sewer and Mater for this area would not I --e forthcoming for
another five years and she questioned why thu Interceptor would
be extended north of County Road 9 at all. Acting Mayor SpitR h
stated that the project boundaries were based upon drainage
districts for the sanitary sewer, He added that the uttut.'
extension of the sanitary sewer to her lot may not happen for
one to three years from the time the project would be approved.
Ms. Bauley questioned why adjacent lots to her property had not bvilo
included in this project area. Engineer• Olsoc explained that •hos l
lots, the major ration of which would be serviced by chis sanitai,y
sewRr interceptor, were included within t'e area. The 1ofs adjacun-t.
to Ns. Bauley's lot would nut 4 serviced by this interceptor but:

R. W. Groan, A130 Junea-i lane, stated he was under the impression
that drainage from the lits located north of County Road 9 drained
to the northeast. Engineer Olson responded that the storm water
drainage for the area north of County Road 9 generally did flow to
the northeast; however, the interceptor being discussed was one for
sanitary sewer purpom and designed to flow southerly.
Pester Miral3t. 6920 Cornelia Drive, owner of property within the area
to be serviced. stated that he was in favor of the extension of the
sewer interceptor to this area. He added that he would be interestpO
to know how additional land under his ownership, ,lust outside of ttie
boundaries of this sewer interceptor area to the northeast, could be
serviced. Acting Mayos Spaeth referred Mr. Buratti to the staff to
determine how this might k4 possible at some future date.
Fred Broman, an heir to prorerty located north of ie pro,iect area
as'"'tid17th property within the Gordon's Oakwood r4ditlon could be
serviced by this project. Acting Mayor Spaeth &toted that it wo-ild
be possible with trunk extensions at some time in the future.
