Courtney, VIII age Engineer Donald Lund, Administrative Clerk Lorraine Stromquist and Deputy Clerk Florence Honano APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the Regular Council Mes"r I ng held on November 28, 1966, tJere approved as submittedo ,FROM THE FLOOR Haml in8 Avenue Four residents of the section of Hamllne Avenue." north of County Road E, were present regarding thl' stEtus of this rOod, M,. Salltros, 3625 North Hamllne Avenue, was the spokesman. Those pres~nt were Mrs. Pau I Milton, and Messrs.Gordon Abel and Richard Alban. Mr. Sa II tros informed the Caunc! I that he contacted the State Highway Department, Ramsey County and the Village of Arden Hills and no~e would accept the responsibility for main- tenance, plowing and sanding of this portion of H;mllne, but the State does take care of that portion of Hamline Avenue ~~~ of the Soo Line tracks. He also showed evidence that on May 24. 1966, he had to take out a permit from the State to have his driveway access onto Hamline Avenue. Mr. Salitros also requested street I ightlng at "rhe IntersectIon of County Road E and Hamllne Avenue, a sign desIgnating thIs road as a dead-end road, and also a guard ra! I to County Road E as a safety precautIon. He also informed the Counc II that the County piles the snow from County Road E In such a way as to obstruct the view of traffic. He suggested that this snow be dumped over the embankment. Attorney Courtney stated that he does not understand why the State refuses to plow this road. Engineer Lund informed the Council that he has also talked with the State and County and was told the State does not Intend to plow Hamline and the County gave the same answer, so apparently It I 5 up to the Village; 'rhe S'j"ate differs on Its polley relating to the portions of Haml Ine dIvided by the 500 LI~e tracks because the north section accesses onto a s.~ai-6 road, but the south section accesses onto a county road. He believes the state eQuid control a II of Hamllne Avenue but would not plow or sand It. The stste feels that only Vii lage residents benefit from the section off County Roed E. Tnlstee Olmsn stated that he felt the Village could do this plow- ing and sanding, b u"i- does not have equipment l<Jrge enough to do a one sweep job as the p I o\~s have only one way blades. This would mean that the'plow would have to back up the length 0';- the road and return. Mayor Nethercut re~ommended that the Vi Ilage do the best \1e can and further contact the County . .nd the State. ~lr . Sa I i '~ros Informed the Council that the probl~m of undue traffIc still exists and large trucks are damagIng the guard rails when turning around at the dead end road. Clerk Lorraine Stromquist stated that defInite plans are being discussed between the County and the State and hope to ta~e some action by the first of the year. Mr. Sa II tros aga In reiterated hIs request that the guard rail be extended to County Road E with the Installation of a dead end street sIgn at this location; Clerk LorraIne Stromquist was requested to contact the State on these matters and also the County concerning the disposition of the sno~ plowed off County Road E.
