need for the 12 inch main - to complete the west end loop. He said that the 6
inch main will be assessed and the balance of cost will come from water revenues.
Mr. Pearson asked who will be assessed. Mr. Bolmgren said all lots adjacent to the
main.
Mr. Heal, owner of Lots 1 and 2 on Brookview Drive said they are happy about
the water they now have, and do'not want this main. He asked under what law or
right we have to make this extension. Councilman Bolmgren said City Attorney,
Edmund T. Montgomery was absent, but the job is to serve the most good. Mrs.'
Londborg of Brookview Drive asked regarding the assessment. Said her neighbors
are paying much more than the figures that have been given out lately. Willard
Hamilton, 3875 Brookview Drive said they had to pay for gas main when they built,
so why shouldn't Knollwood-Plaza pay for this water main if they need it. He
was told that Knollwood-Plaza does not need this water - they have water. This
main is to complete a loop - a must.
Mr. Pearson asked if there would be a published notice of assessments for

P. L. Salamone, 2937 Maryland Avenue said he is opposed,to this proposed
rezoning as' they are right next door. The area is residential and should stay so.
Feels we have enough shopping area. There would be lots of smoke and soot. Mayor

of garbage, etc. at stores. Mrs. Isadore J. Libson, 2936 Louisiana Avenue said
she was opposed to this rezoning. Mrs. B. F. Youngquist, 7315 Minnetonka Boulevard
said she is also opposed as the present store is a traffic hazard. It is not kept
up - papers blowing around, and would devalue their property.
Ttrs. Harold Dahlin, 7301 Minnetonka Boulevard said cars would be parked in
front of his home. It would be dangerous for children. It would devalue their
property. Robert L. Nystrom, 7217 Minnetonka Boulevard asked for the date of Mr.

shopping Centers at Texa-Tonka, Cedar Lake Road and Louisiana, Etc. Another' store
create danger due to traffic. Harry Anderson, 2915 Maryland Avenue asked if this
property is rezoned, will it devalue his property. Mayor Fernstrom said- it all
depends - some places it increases in value, and others it decreases. Mr. Anderson
said that with the shopping centers we now have, it seems that this property should
stay residential.
David Palmquist, 7225 Minnetonka Boulevard said he was opposed a year ago
and is still opposed. Parking would be a hazard.
Mr*' H. Currie spoke for the Hodroffs. Said parking would be in front of the
store, the building would be 50 feet back, the rear would be screened along the
north side of the property, and the driveway in back of the store would be between
Louisiana and Maryland Avenues. The Lot is 172 feet deep. Setback from the front
line, 50 feet; store depth, 80 feet; back of store for alley, etc. 42 feet.
Councilman Hurd said if the Council is to consider this matter, he asks for
a plot plan of Lots 8 and 9, as well as Lots 10, 11, and 12, showing the location ,
of present building, setbacks and changes proposed in the present building. Mr.
Currie said he will have same on April 18, 1955• Mr. Sheppard, 3016 Maryland said

Resolution - No. 50
The following resolution, having been read by the Secretary, it was moved
by Councilman Hurd, seconded by Councilman Middleton, and adopted by unanimous vote
of all Members of the Council present:
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS it appears from evidence submitted to the Council by Mr. William A.
Reiners, head of Parks and Playgrounds Department, gleaned from his detailed
inspection of boulevard trees with Elmer H. Lesch, Entomologist of the Standard
Oil Company, from conferences with Mr. Hodson, Entomologist from the University of
Minnesota, and inspection of certain clippings of affected limbs and branches,
and
WHEREAS it appears that severe damage to the boulevard trees will occur if
the pest infestation, blight and other diseases are not arrested by immediate
treatment, and
WHEREAS, the experts consulted have advised that action taken later than 7
days from the date hereof will not be effective to control the progress of damage
caused as above described, and
WHEREAS, the need for spraying to control this condition has been created
by the unseasonably high temperatures and budding of leaves, and
WHEREAS investigation has been made to determine the program of spraying
work in neighboring municipalities which indicates that Hopkins, Morningside,
Minneapolis and St. Paul have begun spraying programs, and
WHEREAS inquiry has been made concerning the cost of performing the work
and bids received from Gopher State Tree Service at $1.15 per tree, Homedale
Nursery at $1.75 per tree, and Hughes Brothers at $1.15 per tree, and inquiry has
disclosed that Hopkins is paying $1.50 per tree and Morningside is paying $1.50
per tree, and
WHEREAS it appears from the Council's interpretation of Sections 5.05 and
5.06 of the Home Rule Charler that the Charter does not require the publication
of bids or the enactment of an emergency ordinance since the contract necessary to
accomplish the work is for services and not for the purchase of merchandise,
materials or equipment, or for any kind of constructive work, now therefore the
Council finding that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to remedy,
BE IT RESOLVED that the City Manager be authorized and directed to enter
into contracts with either or both of the lowest bidders to spray with appropriate
materials and eliminate or retard the progress of infestation and disease in the
boulevard trees affected.
