The following persons appeared: No-one appeared regarding Improvement No.
54-86. Re: Improvement No. 54-87, John Frazer, representing the Minneapolis Golf
Club appeared in opposition; stating that they are opposed to same because they
are now paying assessments on the Cedar Lake Road water main. Sherman Skunberg
9245 West 22nd Street and 12 to 14 others from the area appeared in opposition to
this extension. They also presented a petition opposing same, signed by 14
property owners. Clarke Taube, 2048 Flag Avenue presented a petition opposing this
proposed water main. Mr. Taube said they are objecting due to the new road they
are now paying for. Also they all have new wells and the main is not needed at
this time. George Baston, Jr., 1810 Flag Avenue and Mr. Hedlund, 1820 Flag Avenue
appeared in favor of extension. Earl Dorn, 9515 West 22nd Street asked "who
wants water?". Trustee Bolmgren answered this question. Mrs. Erick Olson, 2048
Flag Avenue, and Mrs. George Kullberg, 2066 Flag Avenue asked for size of lots in
Brucedale Addition, Mr. Bruce answered that the average is 55 feet. Residents
at 1807 and 1811 Flag Avenue said they wanted the water. Mrs. Robert Burmaster,
June 28, 1954
dar 'on'Pro osed Water Main Extensions
06- Flag Avenue said she understands that the area west of Highway No. 18 is (�
.jwned by Ecklund and Swedlund and is now in St. Louis Park and wondered why water
" cannot go down Highway 18. Wallace Bruce re: Brucedale Addition, said this
area needs water and fire protection, and should have same put in before more
homes are built and more private wells put in. Feels now that it would be
economical to do so. Harold W. Halvorsen, 9421 West Franklin asked if he will
pay for this project. He was told that he would have to pay the area assessment
for a 12 inch main. He said that their taxes are so high now that it is almost
impossible to pay them. Mr. C. A. Pratt, 9322 West 18th Street asked regarding
the method of assessment. - Trustee Holmgren explained that Flag Avenue homes would
pay area and front lateral assessments while those off Flag Avenue would pay for
the 12 inch main assessment. Mr. Pratt said he would like the fire protection,
but feels that- the method of assessment should be studied. Said the Brucedale
folks will only pay for an average of 65 feet while his frontage is almost four
times that and would not have as much use. Qwner of 9228 West 22nd Street said he
wants the water for his new home being built. , Mrs. Wheadon, South Crestview
Addition said they have lived there for awhile and needed roads early and would like
to keep their roads. Suggested that in the future, gas, water and sewer should be
put in at the same time and only tear up the streets once. Earl Dorn, 9217 West
22nd Street said he feels that putting water in at this time is creating a hardship
and that it is being done for the benefit of Bruce Construction Company.
On motion of Trustee Bolmgren, seconded by Trustee Middleton, Improvements
Nos. 54-87 and 54-90 were referred to the Committee of the Whole for study and recom-
mendation; and action was deferred to meeting of July 12, 1954, by unanimous vote of
all Members of the Council present.
J. C. Wilson, 1324 Jersey Avenue appeared in opposition to Improvement No.
54-88 (Jersey Avenue from Cedar Lake Road to Wayzata Boulevard.) Would like to have
the water himself, but wants to help his neighbors Mr. Laidlaw and Mr. Lash who
just can't stand it. All the homes there have wells. Said they knew nothing
about the petition that was circulated for this water project. Morris Finstad,
1344 Jersey Avenue said he has three lots and a good well and doesn't want water.
Said that a good deal of the land+on Jersey Avenue in the 1300 block is in peat.
Joe Hender, 1828 Jersey Avenue said he would like to have the water. Feels that city
water pressure is valuable. J. C. Wilson said he would rather have sewer. Jack
Lash, 1349 Jersey Avenue said he had a well and cesspool. Didn't see the petition
for this improvement. Morris Finstad asked for two weeks time to circulate a
a petition in opposition to Improvement No. 54-88 - Jersey Avenue fdom Cedal Lake
Road to Wayzata Boulevard. Trustee Bolmgren suggested that he bring in said
petition at the time of bid taking.
No persons appeared regarding Improvement Nos. 54-89, 54-90, 54-91, 54-92,
54-1072 54-108, and 54-109.
