~~~~ Planning Consultant, July 22nd. Tilsen, attorney for Spiegler, advised that all the recommendations listed by Dahlgren in his report had been included in the revised plan submitted May 27th, 1959. Nick Christensen, building inspector, said the plans are in strict adherence to our building code. He has no suggestions for their further improvement. ~ ttorney Tilsen said Spiegler Company would agree to use a dark brick. Spiegler will start with the building nearest Larpenteur. They expect to finish the project within two or three years, and will clean up and landscape the grounds within 30 to 60 days after each building is completed. Utecht moved that the Spiegler Construction Company be Qranted a permit to erect an apartment house of 17 units at each of the following locations: 1689 Fry, 1707 Fry, 1699 Fry and 1717 Fry, subject to the plot plan as submitted to the Village Council, and for the construction of an 87 car parking lot to be black-topped in accordance with specifications set forth by the Village Engineer, at 1677 Larpenteur; and that a play area 9U ft x 80 ft be constructed in the northwest corner of the area with a wooden fence and screen planting as shown by the plot plan, with the complete area to be screen planted as each unit is finished.

Mayor Nilsen then said "With the granting of these building permits, we welcome you to the community and know we can live together and work together to solve our common problems." Water Main Vernon L. Ljungren presented plans and specifications for. the proposed Extension extension of the water main from Snelling Avenue to a point 726' east of the center line of Cleveland Avenue including the installation of a line pump near Snelling Avenue. He pointed out that with the in- clusion of the line pump, the estimated cost would be increased 12 to 1~~;-and that it would cost about $1800.00 a year for electricity to operate the pump, or about 1/2 mill. He pointed out that the pump would increase pressures to approximately 5Zt# off the pump and to at least 40# at the Hawkins property.

It was estimated that the cost of running the line up Fry Street would be about $7000.00 and it would probably have to be put in by assessment of abutting properties. The attorney pointed out that this could not be done as a part of this project but that it would have to be set up as a separate improvement project after a hearing at which the Fry Street Residents would have an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Korstad pointed out that the Maple Knoll Owners were about to receive a settlement from the Cardinal Construction Company in a suit they had pending against Cardinal Construction.
