Ljungren, reported that he had met Avenue with representatives of the Ramsey County Engineer's Office on Improvement ndarch ~., 1958, and was advised at that time that the County, upon recommendation of the State Highway Department, is terminating the 1958 portion of the Larpenteur Avenue Improvement Project at Arona rather than a.t Snelling as had been previously planned. the State Highway Department is planning major improvements on Snelling north from University Avenue, in St. Paul and preliminary indications are that the Snelling and Larpenteur intersection will be drastically changed with the possibility of a Snelling Avenue underpass. Final plans are subject to a complete review of the intersection by the State. In view of this the Larpenteur Avenue Storm Sewer Construction by the County will also terminate for 1958 at Arona rather than at Fry Street as had been planned. Ljungren also reported that he is setting up a meeting with the District ~gi:neer off' the State Highway Department for the purpose of getting `'urther clarification of the Departments' plans and the effect of the improvement upon the Falcon Heights business district. Storm Ljungren reported on his meeting with representatives of the Sewer Ramsey County Engineer's Office on r~garch ~.th, 1958, regarding their plans for Storm Sewer along Larpenteur as a part of that improvement. He stated, that as a result, the County has approved our initial plans conr_ecting our proposed Storm Sewer on Crawford between Asbury and Simpson to one on Arona beginning at Larpenteur and running north to Crawford rather than continuing the Crawford Sewer east to Pascal and thence south on Pascal to Larpenteur. Ljungren pointed. out to the County representatives that the village could effect a saving of approximately :!61.0,000.00 by approval of our original plan. Ljungren submitted a map showing the plan revision for the Storm Sewer in Districts A and H vrith the outline of the boundaries of the district, and recommended that the two former districts be combined into one Storm Sewer Improvement and that henceforth this improvement be referred to as Storm Sewer Improvement #l. Ljungren submitted a preliminary report on tk~e proposed Storm Sewer Improvement by letter dated ~.~Sarch 6th, 1958 in which he reported that the proposed Storm Sewer is feasible and that it can best be made as a separate Storm Sewer Improvement. The report contained an itemized statement of preliminary estimate of cost amounting to 918,150.00 and a recommendation regarding the splitting of the cost for the 29.1 acres involved a.s between General and Special Assessment. The preliminary basis recommended 28.t~~ of cost of improvement to come from General Fund and 71.6 to come from Special Assessment.
