2855 Mr. McCleery: This is a very small water shed. Why so many outlets and sewers to drain this little area? Engineer Lemberg: Roseville is bringing in 1~2" to 1511 pipes. We are only proposing a main of 1211 for Autumn. If we agree to go in with them, they must increase their pipes one size. If we don't they can't handle us later. They are paying for their own; if we don't go, we won't be included for future use. Mr. McCleery: Would the small water shed be able to be handled by the minimum? Engineer Lemberg: It depends on how fast your water is draining. Mr. McCleery: As far as me as a property owner, my land is high and I have not and don't expect to have floods. I don't mind paying a small portion but not the full assessment. Engineer Lemberg: Once every 1~0 years we could have a storm to back up water to stop drainage in Roseville's pipes. However, in the last five years, we have had five such storms. Ecklund: I think we must make it clear that the ~1Ja,,000 is to pay for our share in the Roseville area, anything above we would have to contract as a Village. If we only talk about storm sewers along Roselawn, we are talking about something less than the $15,500. Engineer Lemberg: Adding lots would not necessarily cut the cost because Roseville would still charge $350 per lot. Mr. Stowe It is my understanding that this is a potential problem only 1951 Autumn: once every 1~0 years. Plus the fact that the storm sewer on Roselawn is really a preliminary to being a 1~8 foot highway to serve the Rosedale Shopping Area. This seems to be a first step and this is where we should stop it. This, in my viewpoint, would be a depreciatioon in property along this area. I commend the Council for looking after the interests of the owners and for getting the price in soaaesvhat more reasonable Line. We really need a lot more time to see dust what is involved i.n the upgrading of Roselawn Avenue. I would like to suggest that we look into individual costs of sewer lines. All of us have a lot of things we would 1i.ke to spend $600 on and i.f we are being asked to spend it on something like this, we should have ample time to look into it. Engineer Lemberg: As a matter of information, the County has a schedule of upgrading for the whole County. We have known about this since 1960. Roselawa Avenue has been on this schedule since Highway 280 was built. We still don't know when it is going to be done. It was on the schedule long before the Rosedale Center was decided to be put in. We know about the major thoroughfare planned by the Metropolitan Planning Commission, but we don't know where it will be located. There has been a considerable amount of st~edy and I have met with these people on behalf of Falcon Heights. All this has been discussed. The State and County have hired a Traffic Engineer from Chicago and they are preparing a study on where this North-South Route should go. They are supposed to be uabiased because they are from out of town. It is something we know is going to happen. The County is not pushing us to improve Roselawn Avenue.
