AND ADJACENT AREA
Mayor Hunt opned the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. Item 6-B
Ed Kerschke, 3030 larch Lane North, presented a letter from
property owners of the seven parcels adjacent to the proposed
Rappaport development with the following requests: 1) that
the project be split into two projecL3 separating the seven
existing homes from the lot1c in the Rappaport Addition;
2) that the developer adhere to his agreement to bring the
road up to City standards at no cost to present residents;
3) that a safe access be provided at the intersection of the
proposed 30- Avenue to West Medicine Lake Drive; 4) that the
roAd grade on Larch Lane be maintained to insure access to
existing driveways; 5) that cont•inuois access to all homes
be provided during construction; 6) that consideration be
given to the channelling of ctorni drainage to the lake;
7) that a study be made of the sewer routing to obtain any
economies possible; 8) that a performance bond be required
of the developer; and 9) that compliance with the Council
and Planning r-:„i;sioi, reccimnendations be enforced.
John Strou::h,3070 Larch Lane, stated he was the owner of
lotown ^the- lake and inquired if Lot 1 would be assessed
and how he would be assessed for street improvements.
Mayor Hunt replied if Lot 1 is not a buildable parcelit
would not be assessed and if Mr. Strouth used Larch Lane
for access he would pay a partial assessment even though
he does not have frontage on the road. Mr. Strouth asked
about the cost of the lift pump required to serve his home.
Mayor Hunt responded Mr. Stt-outh would be responsible for
the cost of installing a lift pump for his home and for
the cost of its operation, Mr. Strough stated he felt
an assessmenLL of $12,000 on his property would be excessive
since his property is valued at $19,090. Mayor Hunt replied
the Assessment Committee would consioer the most economical
way to serve his lot,

ion Rappaport, stated if he had to assume extra costs above his
assessments it would make the devO opment of his plat unfeasible.
He felt the proposed improvement would benefit the present
residents on Larch lane.
Bonnie Kerschke, 3030 Larch lane North, inquired if the City or
the developer would be responsibie for grading Larch Lane and
bringing in the fill to bring it up to grade. Engineer Moore
replied the grading of the street is in the cost of the project,
and the developer is responsible fo,A bringing the level of
the lots in his development up to grade. The preliminary plans
indicate the City will require 1400 yards of fill for the project.
Mrs. Kerschke stated she was told the developer was responsible
for the grading and fill necessary for the road, and present
residents would be assessed for the asphalt only. Councilmember
Neils replied they would not be responsible for any internal
grading costs within the Rappaport plat, and if there are! any
unusual grading requirements on larch Lane due to the Rappaport
plat development, those costs would be assessed to that. plat.
Normal changes in the grade of the street during construction
would be part of normal project costs. The developer must pro. -
vide reasonable access to housei proposed in the Rappel port
Addition and will be responsible for internal grading in the
development to accomplish this. The ultimate design of Larch
Lane will provide reasonable driveway grades for all existirg
properties.
Ed Kirscht, Senior Engineering Aide, stated he informed Mr;.
Kerschke the developer would be responsible for k ri ng i ng the
lots within the Rappaport Addition up to a reasonable grade,
Al 'fombers, 3020 Larch Lane, inquired if the sewer line would
come upTong the lake and if the Favor property will be
assessed. Mayor Aunt replied the sewer line would not
serve the area north of the Rappaport plat and property
south of Councy Road 9 would be served f om the North
Central I i t e rcep to r,
The hearing was closed at 8;45 p.m.
Councilme^ber Neils commented on the cost apportionment of the
project, stating the Assessment Committee will attempt to see
that the present residents will not have to pay any of the costs
for the n"appaport Addition, and Mr. Rappaport will not have to
pay any of their costs. Councilmemher Spaeth stated residents
will pay for normal grading involved to provide a proper street
grade and sight distance, but will not have to pay for any
unusual amount of fill.

Mr. C. R. Vol,, 2125 Cheshire Lane North, expressed concern
a out the apportionment of assessments for Project No. 702.
Mayor Hunt replied Improvement Project No. 702 had been
ordered by the Council and the Minnesota Department of
Trans;ortation had agreed to participate in project costs.
C. PROJECT 921 - HADLEY PLACE/QUEENSLANO AREA
Manager Willis reviewed the proposed project noting the
proposed plans show a need for sanitary sewer to serve
the properties to the north along the east of Hadley Lake
by a gravity sewer line that goes along the easterly side
of the lake. Eng ier Moore described the two phases of
the project in detail - Improvements to Queensland Lane
and sanitary seiAer alnno Hadley Lake,
Mayor Hunt opened the public hearing at 9:00 p.m.
John Batson, 525 Queensland, stated -he has decided not to
cviiv de his property so that a would not have to pay im-
proverient costs oii 6th Avenue and Queensland Lane. He
inquired why water was not being put in along with the
sanitary sewer along the lake. Engineer Moore replied
the wator can be run more economically along the street
system when necessary, but the sanitary sewer must run
by gravity. Mr. Batson inquired why; concrete curb and
gutter was being required rather than asphalt. Mayor
Hunt stated concrete curbing was required by City standards
to be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and
to prevent deterioration of the road.
Alma Diers, 610 Queensland, inquired why she was included
in the assessmert area since she lived in the Faznndin-
Krogness Addit;un and alrl..ady had utilities. Manager Willis
responded there is a possibility of a water pipe going
between her lot and her neighbor's lot, but she would
not be ;iicluded in the assessment. Mrs. Diers stated
the romoval of 23 trees from her lot and 15 trees from
her neighbur's lot would change the appearance of thei,-
homes drastically and she inquired if they would be com-
pensated for this loss and if the trees would be replaced.

Councilmember Neils inquired if it would be possible to jack
a portion of the sewer 'ine under the trees. Engineer Moore
replied the trees go from front, tc ba 1 of the lots and it
would not be economical to Ifo so.
Earl Grove, 540 Queensiand, stated he felt it was not necessary to
run an 8 Tnch ine into the Krogness property to loop the water
line. He felt a 6 inch line that dead -ended at the end of
Queensland would be sufficient. He ilso opposed concrete curb
and gutter on a dead-end street. He inquired hrw far the sewer
line would be run from the lake. Engineer Moore replied basically
he line would be run iii the good soil along the lake, but a
detailed survey will not be done until the final plans and
specifications are ordered. Mr. Grove asked' what the depth
of the sewer on Queensland would be at Mr. Batson's property.
The Engineer replied 10 feet.
Sherman Goldberg, representing Lundgren Bros., spoke in favor
of the inprovement to Queensland lane which would benefit the
Ferndale North plat, but stated they were not in favor of paying
for the sewer line along Hadley Lake since it 14nuld not ber.,.'Zfit
their plat which was being served by the sewer .;n Queenslan#: Lane,
Marion Batson, 525 Queensland Lane, stated she opposed the sewer
Tonga ey Lake and stated they preferred to connect to both
sanitary sewer and water from Queensland. Size inquired if they
do not divide their property and keep the five -acre parcel intact
if they will be assessed for the sanitary sewer along Hadley Lake
and if they will be assessed for a project serv,ng the property
to the north if it is developed. Mayor Hunt replied they will
be assessed for any line that runs through their property.
Councilitember Neils stated the Assessment Committee would
determine what the central systems costs were and what costs
would be attributable to individual property owners. Mrs. Batson
objected to concrete curb and gutter on Queensland since there is
blacktop curb on the west side of the street.
B-riVtta Johnson, 640 Queensland, expressed her concern that
losing the trees between her lot and the Diers' lot would
devalue her property. She asked if sanitary sewer would go
in as well as the *ater line and how much land It would disrur:.
Mayor Hunt replied a water line exclusively is proposed to go
through her property, and it will require 20-25 feet. Mrs.
Johnson stated there is only a 10 foot easement. Mayor Hunt
replied the City would require a temporary construction easement
for the additioral land required for the work. Mrs. Johnson
questioned the need for a cul-de-sac at the end of Queensland
and stated she hoped to see 6th AvenuE vacated eventuallt,.
Mayor Hunt replied the cul-de-sac is required to allow City
vehicles such as snowplows sufficient space to turn around.
The hearing was closed at 9:35 p.m.

Councilnv!mber Neils asked if any substantial economies could be
gained ki having the northerly portion served via trunk line on
the lake at the north end. Engineer Moore replied this Mould
offset some depth but would require more sewer line. Council -
member Neils inquired how much of a cut would be required at the
high point of Queensland. The Engineer replied Queensland will
be graded as much as possible to a%.commodate existing driveways.
Councilmember Neils stated if' a sewer line from Hadley Lake is
required, it %hould be built nuw with this project rather than
going back at some other time and disrupting the area.
The Council concurred that the sewer line along Hadley lake
should be built as part of Project No. 921.
Council discussed the need for concrete curb and gutter on
Queensland. Mayor Hunt stated he felt the lasting quality of
the street is subst+l:ntially greater with concrete curb and
gutter. Councilmember Neils felt concrete curb and gutter
would prev•!nt damage that might occur on a narrow street,
such as Queensland, from traffic running over the curb and
from snowplows,
MOTION was made by Councilmember Hoyt, seconded by Council -
member Neils, to include concrete curb and gutter in the
improvement project.
Motion carried, four ayes.
There was a discussion of dead -ending the water line on Queensland
versus looping the system. Manager Willis stated the street has
a substantial amount of homes for a 6 inch line. To provide an
adeL,jote amount of flow, it would be wise to put in an 8 inch
line with a connection through the Fazendin-Krogness Addition.
MUTION was made by Councilmember Neils, seconded by Council -
member Speath, to adopt, RESOLUTION N0, 79-171, A RESOLUTION
ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICA-

proposed Lundgren Bros. plat; 2) final determination of location
the water looping connection and sizing of the watermain
on Queensland shall be determined based on information
provided in the final plans and specifications,

Manager Willis reviewed John Gassner's request for subdivision
variance and lot division for parcel at 18225 County Road 24
79011), noting :he division would cr?ate t -o parcels sub-
stand,ird in width and area. The Planning Commission re-
cummerded denial of the request.
Mary_Weinziesl, representing petitioner. stated petitioner, is
wi l l int'l to bri.ig the lot up to City standards by bringing in
fill and serving it with one communal driveway. The City would
benefit from development of the lots by collection of the
deferred special assessments on the property.
Robert Richel, 18205 Couo ty Road 24, stated at present his lot
drains ijcross Mr. Gassner's lot and he is concerned that when
the lot is filled his lot will not have proper drainage.
Councilmember Spaeth stated the lot is effectively divided by
the restraints of the r+rainage area .ind if drainage is handled
properly and Lonly one driveway installed, he believes the lot
could be develr-.-.kd efl bctively. Councilmember Neils stated
the lot width wda, s i i ghtly rrndpr the 110 foot requirement and

Motion carried, three ayes Councilmember Hoyt abstained_
Mr. Riche] inquire:: if this request for variance would be vir1We1;
as a hardship. Councilmember Neils replied if a reasonable
use of the land is attainable by minor variances to the zoning
code,, denial of those minor variances does impose a hardship
on the use of the land. Cruncilmember Hoyt stated the owner
was fully aware of the assessments on the property at the time
of purchase and the 1,000 foot variance being requested on
both lots will impact on the larger lot adjacent to the property.
Mayor Hunt stated he felt the variances requested v -%re minor,
but his f.iajor concern is th : proper drainage can be provided
for the proposed lots so it would not affect anyine in a de-
leterious manner. If the development of these lets can enhance
the neighborhood, it would allow the C'ty to collect the
assessments on the property. Manager Willis stated it is the
responsibility of the petitioner to have an engineering study
prepared which would take into consideration the effect of the
proposed lots rin the adjacent parcels.
Manager Willis reviewed Gregory Riggle's request for variance
Arid concept plan for a mini -warehouse 4evelopment and c: e-
taker's apartment on a site north of the Soo Line Railroad
tracks on County Road 18, noting there is no sanitary sewer
or water on the site and expressed his concern atout the lack
of water for firefighting.
Councilmember Spaeth expressed his concern about the narrow
25 foot turning lanes between the buildings, fire walls in the
buildings, lack of fire hydrants and fire safety, and lack of
parking area if the ;,se of the property chances. Councilmember
Neils also expressed concern about the lack of multi -occupancy
parking requirements in tyre future and the lack of public water
for firefighting.
Gre o ry C. Riggle, petitioner, reviewed the corcept plan for
the devi4ment and displayed photographs of similar develop-
ments his company operates. He stated if the use of the build-
ings should change in the future, parking requirements could
perhaps be met by using the stalls as covered parking areas or
by eliminating some structures. Further, he agreed to place
fire walls every 4,500 square feet and place fire extinguishers
every 150 feet so that minor fires may be extinguished quickly.
He stated this type of use results in very few pe)ple being
on the premises on any day. He also claimed their fire in-
surance rate was not any greater on these buildin5s than on
buildings in areas where sewer and water was available. Mr.
Riggie stated the site will be completely fenced with one
entrance and lighted at night with 24-hour surveillance from
the caretaker's ,apartment.
