Monday,
OF REGULA 11 .ME;'ETING
THE VILLAC1E OF ARDEN HILLS
February 9, 1959
The meeting was called to order at 8:00 P.M. by Mayor Ashbach.
Roll Call: Present; AShbach, Winfrey, Crepeau, Kennedy, Stromquist.
Absent; None
Mayor Ashbach read a letter from the Minnesota Highway Dep~rtment granting
a permit to Arden Hills to retain entrance from Johanna Blvd. to Ridgewood
Court upon condition that Arden Hills will assume the perpetual maintenance
. of said entrance. The letter was filed with Clerk. Mayor Ashbach suggested
that a public hearing be set for the Ridgewood Court matter. Mrs. Tissel,
who requestea permission to present the facts on the Ridgewood Court matter
to the entire Council reported as follows: A map of Arden Hills #1 was
shown, giving contour of plat, platting date 1945 and showing East-west alley
and that part now called Ridgeweod Court, and showing the platted easement
down to Siems Court. Mrs. Tissel stated that in 1951, when the Gardener hous
was builtbeing located only lOR from that platted easement, people were still
using the trail but that Mr. Gardener closed it off with various gates,
fences etc. until eventully it was not used anymore, the people turning
around instead at the turn around that now exists. In July, 1958 Mr. Paul
Klass wrote to Trustee Delange and requested that the road (Ridgewood Court)
be fixed up. Mr. DeLange informed him that the Village was unable to do so
as turn around is located on provate property. Mrs. Tissel stated that
Mr. Klass then talked with Mr. Gardener, Showing him Trustee Delange's
letter. Mrs. Tissel stated that Mr. Klass received no cooperation from
Mr. Gardener on the matter, only abuse, insults and swearing. Mr. Klass
then went to hamsey County court house and obtained a copy of the plat
showing easement going past Mr. Gardener's house. With this information
SOmB of the neighbors met informally, composed a list of seven access needs
(list attached) and requested same from village council.
Mrs. Tissel stated that in July a letter was written qsking council the
status of the road and were told that an easement to siems Court existed.
At that time a petition was presented Council asking that the fence and rock
pile on easement be removed by Mr. Gardener and also asking for an estimate
of cost of improving easement. Mrs. Tissel explained the meetings held and
various solutions to problems discussed by residents and Council members.
Mrs. Tissel expressed dissatisfaction with the present proposed plan of a 3'
wide footpath going straight thru the plat down to Arden Place.
Mr. Klass stated that he felt that he might lose several hundred to
thousands of dollars if the existing easement is vacated and turn around put
in its place.
Council felt that a public hearing should be set on the matter. The
public hearing was set for February l8, but upon checking with Village
Attorney, we found that we must have at least two weeks published and posted
.notice. Upon motion by Crepeau, seconded by Winfrey the pUblic hearing was
set for March 5, 1959 at 8:00 P.M. at the Village Hall at l450 Highway #96
for the purpose of fact finding on the matter, vacation of easement as
petitioned for by Mr. Gardener and acquisition Of property for public
purposes, as per Resolution attached. Motion passed.
Mr. Ken Sparks presented a petition to close a pDrtion of Glenarden Road in
the playground area. Upon motion by Stromquist, seconded by Crepeau, a pUbl!
hearing was set to close a portion of Glenpaul Road in the playground area
for March 30, 1959 at 8:00 P.M. at the Village Hall. Motion passed.
Council requested Village Attorney to be present at the hearing. The matter
was referred to the Public Welfare Committee and to the Public Works
Committee for recommendation.

ACCSbS N&EDS OF Tel"; 14 LOTS "HIeli HAVE ACCESS m,LY BY 'l'HE SERVICE
ROAD ( RHXm\'iOOD COURT)
,
1) ~~e service ro~d ( und Ridgewood ROfid as well ) have no
platted eonnection with Lake Johanna Blvd.. They dead end against
sta.te property. Since the state always takes preeedeneettover
personal. or local use, there \,ill always be the oossibillty t~l!'lt
t e ats..te llUl,y diB~)oBe of that property or use it in such a way that
wovld <l-lock the roads ::nentioned. '~ithout our out6et to Sierns
COUt't 14 lots would be isolated.
'3) Ji.'mergeney vehicl,~. currently have a difficult time lind1tlg
us. Furtnermore', Dne fire engine blocks entrance of any oeher
needed emergency veb.1cle.
3) Othc'r deliveries----oil. milk, mail, packs,ges----would be
fscilitated.
4) '!;ith a throW,:) road maintenance v,culd be better. A 20 foot
roud is too m'l'l"OW i'or snow ;~lows, tar and gravel truc~s. etc.
to maneuver upon without an exit. and as a result, ~lntenance is
degenerating.
5) Vi'len thu road is blocked now fit 1Il Y point b, repairs, del:iyy.
accLient or some ot'ler. everyone south 01' tllnt point is blooked.
6) Evaluation of :ill our properties would be improved.
7) Our ch11([1'(3D n"ed aCCElSCI to Siems Court where taey wait for
the scc'~ool bus. Access to the wlole rest of the neif;'lborhood
is nGtur(llly' there as well as access to our island bench.
