HomeMy WebLinkAboutgr00090_000034_pg093MSP (Johnson - Hodges) To direct the Acting Clerk to prepare a memorandum to the
building inspection department telling them we have a very flat area with certain
elevations that will be below the level of the streets, that it is imperative that
special attention be given to landscaping and the elevation of the basement floor
of the dwellings going in this area to see that they are constructed to provide
adequate drainage for the developed lots. 5 Ayes
MSP (Neisen- Hodges) To direct the Engineer to prepare the assessment rolls for
Project 1973 -5, Mounds View Square Water Project and Project 1973 -6, Programmed
Land Street Project. 5 Ayes
MSP (Neisen- Hodges) To direct the Engineer to notify the contractor of Project
1973 -2 and Project 1973 -3 with the completion date of August 1, 1973, that $3,435.47
would be withheld from the final payment. 5 Ayes
Engineer Comstock brought up the matter of the NSP overhead wires which are located
where the new streets will be in the northern part of the City. NSP will relocate
them 10 feet from the property line which would put the poles five feet behind the
curb. It was the Council's feeling that this would be unsightly in the front
yards. NSP will relocate anyplace the Council suggests, but it will be the matter
of who will pay the expenses which would be quite costly. The Attorney noted
that NSP is operating in this area without a franchise and they have no right -of-
ways or required easements.
It was suggested to try to persuade them to relocate the poles at the back lot
lines with no expense to the City.

Mayor Neisen brought to our attention the minutes of July 22, 1974 on Page 11
with reference to the motion concerning Red Oak Estates #3. He stated that these
conditions were met and letters were written by the engineering firm and the
attorneys firm and the plat was signed on July 30, 1974.
A resident questioned the drainage ditch in the Red Oak Estates #2 and #3 area.
Mayor Neisen stated that since we are in a law suit on this property we weren't
at liberty to discuss it. She also questioned why Mr. Harstad's name had been
omitted from the August 5, 1974 minutes. Mayor Neisen informed her that Mr.
Harstad was not at the meeting, but it was a meeting with Architect Walijarvi.
Mr. Frank Gabrish questioned when he would be assessed for the big project going
in. Attorney Meyers informed him it wouldn't be until next year.
