1095 Several years ago, Mr. Gage, Developer of Falcon Woods Addition No. 1, posted an escrow of 95500.00 to assure the construction of Prior Avenue from Autumn St. to the south property line of Falcon Woods Addition No 1. On September 11th, 1958, Mr. Gage also posted another cash escrow in the amount of X19,178.58 which guaranteed the construction of this street together with other streets in Falcon Woods Addition No. 2. The cash escro~r posted September 11th, 1958 did not cover the construction of Prior from Summer St. south to the south property line of Falcon Woods No. 2. Carley recommends the first X500.00 escrow be transferred from Falcon Woods No. 1 to Falcon Woods No. 2 and be used as an escrow to assure construction of this portion of Prior Avenue, After .discussion, it was moved by Utecht, seconded by Shavor and unanimously voted to refer this matter to Attorney Graham. Drainage ' Letter of September 25th from Paul Romanowski, 1920 Roselawn - SVY Corner was read. Letter states: Water drains to the southwest corner Tatum & Rose- of Tatum and Roselawn a.nd stays there indefinitely. During a lawn. storm period it is hazardous to traffic from both streets and it devaluates his property. Mayor Nilsen advised that he has had many talks with Roseville Officials, asking that the Roseville Council give permission to put a culvert across Roseville and drain into the Roseville Ponding Area. He has recently talked to Pdayor Cedarholm who has suggested a meeting between himself, Nilsen, and Roseville's Engineer, Mr. Soutter, to look over the land and see if it could be done without danger of flooding any Roseville property. Ljungren advised the County would put the culvert in at no expense to the village if Roseville authorizes it. Trees Letter from the Department of Agriculture regarding the spraying of trees was turned over to Coppini for study and planning. Autumn St. There were about 6 or 7 people from the Autumn Street Area at the meeting. Dan P.lide, as principal spokesman for the group, ex- pressed their dissatisfaction with the manner in which Ray Sina has put off the work on their street all summer, in spite of promises that he would be there within a day or so each time he was called; not coming in until the weather turned cold. Ljungren advised that Ramsey County, the State Highway Department and the City of St. Paul had permitted their bituminous crews to work on the 7th, that the cold snap was unexpected, and that there was a good possibility that we would have warmer weather which would permit Sina to complete their work this Fall. It was pointed out that this was not a Village Contract -- that the contract had been let by the Developer. The poor condition of the street was the divided responsibility of Gage, Lametti and Sina. That Gage had agreed to pay 96500.00, Lametti $270.00, Sina would furnish equipment and labor. There is also a charge to be paid by the Village for sewer manhole adjustments, amounting to about 96200.00. - - The cost of the entire job was estimated at between 11~ and 15 hundred dollars, of which about ~~70.00 could be traced to sewer construction. Ljungren stated Sina has about X300.00 worth of gravel there and feels sure he will be in to complete the work as soon as there is warm enough weather, and that there is a good possibility that there should be plenty of weather warm enough to handle the bituminous work. However, it was the feeling of all that if the weather was not warm enough to do the
