Minikahda Oaks Improvement No. 79-01, paving, curb and gutter, Minikahda Oaks neighborhood, as described in Notice of Hearing published March 21 and 28, 1979. Dr. Harvey Gilbert, 3405 Glenhurst Avenue, stated i� was unnecessary to place a cul-de-sac at the south end of Glenhurst Avenue and suggested the street continue to terminate at his property line. It was his opinion that the land required to construct the cul-de-sac would cause the abutting vacant property to be unbuildable. He was also concerned that the City would store snow on the property, that cars would be driven over the curb through A1's onto Excelsior Boulevard and that drainage would be adversely affected. Robert Reu, 3349 Glenhurst Avenue, objected to tlle proposed 26-foot width of West 34 Street between France and Glenhurst Avenues; he telt a 20-foot width would be adequate would not necessitate tree removal. The Director of Public Works explained the proposed jog on West 34 Street would eliminate removal of an existing oak tree. He said the design would require a retaining wall, and the existing fence located on public right of way must be removed. The Public Works Director summarized the staff report relative to the France Avenue/Excelsior Boulevard intersection design. �ie said several alternatives are being studied, and the Council would be presented a recommendation at a f uture date. =88- �I - --�-�ra� , � .;.; �.-�� '1 , "G� City Council minutes, April 2, 1979 3344 Glenhurst, the Public Works Director Responding to C.P• Halligan, uadrant of West 34 Street/ explained that the fire hydrant aertoffSstreetStuPon Council authorization, Glenhurst would be relocated furth , final specifications would be prepared.

Frank Esterly, 3401 Glenhurst Avenue, felt the proposed cul-de-sac unnecessary, He said he would be satisfied if the entire West 34 Street was constructed with a 20-£oot width and restricted parking. George DuFour, 3735 Glenhurst Avenue, referred to alternatives he requested relating to France Avenue north of Randall Street. The City Manager stated staff France Avenue beyond Randall Council on May 7, 1979. is reviewing the possibility of vacating Street and will present recommendations to the Councilman Hanks noted that should the Council vacate the street, property owner would be responsible for its improvement. He also that vacation would eliminate further consideration of connecting Avenue with West 32 Street in Minneapolis. the suggested France There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed. Responding to Councilman Hanks, the Public proposed cul-de-sac is not constructed at street is paved to i.ts current terminus as would be no access to the vacant lots. Works Director explained if the the south end of Glenhurst and the requested by Dr. Gilbert, there CounciZman Hanks felt a 20-foot width on West 34 Street from Glenhurst to France Avenues should be considered, if the abutting property owners concur. He said he would like to have the option studied by staff and the neighborhood. He also felt the Council should consider continuing the France Avenue side- walk from West 34 Street to Excelsior Boulevard. He reported that at the informational meeting, it was suggested the entire neighborhood could be assessed for its placement and asked if the option could be invoked should the neighborhood petition for the sidewalk. He continued that he had been informed by staff that the cost of the sidewalk could not be assessed area- wide, and requested tentative figures on its construction to be available for the neighborhood's consideration. Responding to Councilman Elstrom, the Director of Public Works explained that although tlie final design has not been determined, the cul-de-sac on Glenhurst Avenue would cost approximately $2,000 to $3,000 more than a dead end. He added it would be necessary to acquire appToximately ten feet from the vacant properries and the land would remain developable. Councilman Hanks noted staff has carefully attempted to accommodate the residents; he felt the cul-de-sacs could be further studied.

The Administrative Manager of Northland Aluminum appealed the method of the assessment. He explained that several years in the past, the firm was assessed $15,000 for lift station repairs; although $6,000 is proposed to be credited to the current assessment, he felt the entire $IS,000 should be credited. �He also suggested that either the past repairs had been incorrect or the City should have replaced the station at that time. He said the firm's water consumption had decreased 50 percent in 1978. The City Manager explained the essence of the assessment was that the station had to be replaced due to the heavy use by Northland Aluminum. Responding to Councilman Backes, the f irm's representative explained that in the past, an anodizing facility existed wt�ich could have caused the problem of high water consumption and corrosive chemicals. He said its operation had been discontinued. � There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed.
