Hearing on Proposed Sanitary Sewer Construction
Separate hearings were had on the proposed public improvements described in
the following resolution. The following persons appeared:
R. J. Lampe, 2705 Xenwood Avenue said that he is already in District #1-E.
Assessor Connery-said that .it is planned to eliminate the lift station now serving
his property. He is paying for district sewer and lift station. Said he was
informed in the City Office that he hAsno, ewer, but he knows he has. He objects
to being assessed for Trunk Sewer #4. oAUrd said that he should be given
credit for his other assessment, and not pay for two.
There were others from the same block who held the same thoughts on additional
assessment for Trunk Sewer #4. Mayor Fernstrom explained our deal with the Village
of Golden Valley. Others present were Mr. M. Lehrman, 2706 Xenwood Avenue and Mr.
Sam Edwins, 2701 Xenwood Avenue. Mr. Edwins asked if there would be a hearing on
the assessment later. He was told that there would be. He asked if saving were to
be made by the people of St. Louis Park by building this sewer, why shouldn't the
entire City pay for it. District sewers and payment of same was explained. Mr.
Edwins asked what he could say to change the Council's idea of constructing Trunk
Sewer #4• Mayor Fernstrom said if the majority of folks ask that it not be cons-
tructed, it could be considered.
The people on Xenwood Avenue between 27th and 28th Streets want to go on
record that they will be paying twice for sewer under the present plan. Mrs. J. J.
Westheim, 2712 Xenwood Avenue, Mrs. M. G. Brill, 2713 Xenwood Avenue, Mr. J. A.
Senander, 2718 Xenwood Avenue, Mr. A. J. Farrington, 2657 Xenwood Avenue all said
they have sewer.
Mayor Fernstrom explained the difference between assessments and taxes. Mrs.
Brill asked how they would receive credit. She was told that it would depend upon
the cost of the new sewer. Glenn Wilson, 2848 Kentucky Avenue said he and others
are very much interested in getting this sewer as soon as possible. Mr. A. T.
Magnuson, 2813 Kentucky Avenue asked about how soon he would be able to connect up
to the sewer if we go ahead with this project. Was told just as soon as the majority
of folks in District #4 desire the construction of same. Mayor Fernstrom said
that his thinking is if Golden Valley goes through with the proposed project, that
the folks in all of District #4 will be canvassed for approval of the trunk for
North Side at once.
Councilman Jorvig said that the General Mills project proposed for Highway
No. 12 and 18 will spur Golden Valley on to build the proposed sewer. Mr. Wm. 0.
o Avenue said he would like to see the balance of North Side start
Cook, 2816 Idah
at the same time as the Golden Valley project as he needs the sewer badly.
Councilman Jorvig explained where the Council would construct a block of
sewer not wanted, if it is necessary to serve a block farther out. A Great Northern
Railway representative asked if there would be further hearings on the other trunk
sewer, other than the Golden Valley sewer. Told there would be. He said the
Great Northern enters a protest now to the proposed sewer as they have not had an
opportunity to set same up.
The question was raised -- would the Council publicize the project and get
petitions for the North Side sewer? Answer -- Council will prepare petitions and
the public must circulate and bring in. The Dispatch reporter said they would
give lots of publicity. Mr. L. S. Soshnik, 2836 Kentucky Avenue asked if thereare
any unplatted property owners who might object to the sewer for North Side.
