Extract of ~~nutes of Meeting
of Village Council
Village of Arden Hills
Ramsey county, ~~nnesota
June 26, 1972
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of
the Village Council of the Village of Arden Hills, ~unnesota, was
held in the Village Hall in said Village on Monday, the 26th day of
.
June, 1972, at 8:00 o'clock p.m.
The following members were present: I~yor Crepeau and Council-
men Hollenhorst, Olman, Henderson and Herrick.
and the following were absent: None.
The Village Clerk Administrator presented an affidavit showing
publication of notice of hearing on proposed Street Improvement No.
72-3 in accordance with the resolution adopted May 22, 1972, which
affidavit was examined and found to be satisfactory and was directed
to be filed by the Clerk Administrator. The Village Clerk
Administrator also exhibited a Certificate of ~ailing Notice of
Hearing to all affected property owners, which certificate was
examined and found to be satisfactory and was directed to be filed
by the Clerk Administrator.
The Mayor then directed the Clerk Administrator to read the
description of the general natu~e and estimated cost of the proposed
improvement and the area proposed to be assessed therefor, as stated
in the published notice of hearing. After reading of the notice, all
persons present were afforded opportunity to be heard, and the names
and addresses of the persons appearing and heard by the Council, and
the substance of the views presented by them were as follows:
.
;,
HR. ROBERT HANSEN, 1465 Floral Drive: Asked if property owners
were always assessed for street repair after utility construction.
He said the road had been in good driving condition, but after both
the sewer and water construction it was left in bad condition. Also
asked if the property owners were not liable for the repair, if there
was a misunderstanding on the part of the contractors.
NR. CURT NELSON of Emil FI. Nelson Realtors, representing Jim
Johnson who owns the lots on James Circle: In favor of the improve-
ment. Said it would greatly improve that particular part of the
area if permanent street surfacing could be done.
.
COUNCILNAN OUiEN: Said that the village Public l<?orks Committee
indicated to the Village Council that since there would be additional
settling on Floral Drive and the Circles, to do the work this year
would cause premature repair costs to the village. They felt the
entire area should be done at the same time. Their recommendation to
the Council is that the water contractor repair areas damaged by water
installation and that the PUblic Works Department patch other areas
on Floral Drive, and further that the Circles should be rough graded
and graveled with the entire surfacing project delayed until next
year. The Public ~IDrks Committee also questioned why storm sewer was
not included in the Floral Drive portion of the improvement, and if
curbs are put in, where the' storm water would flow.
COUNCILliJAN HERRICK: Said he didn't believe that James Circle
and Gale Circle are dedicated roads. Further said he believes that
two years ago the Council told the people on Floral Drive to be
patient because there would be more construction; the road was damaged
because of sewer and water construction and he felt the village had an
obligation to repair the road to its condition before the construction.
COUNCILHAN HENDERSON: Said he didn't think you could put sewer
and water across streets and get the street back to 100% but they
should insist that the contractors get it back to as close to 100% as
it was in the first place. He agreed with Councilman Herrick that
those areas that are definitely below what they were before the con-
struction began should not be repaired at the cost of the individuals
residing on that particular street.
e5 .
[ NR. RICHARD HYERS, 4117 Gale Circle: Said heD~s with Nr. dde::!
Herrick that Gale Circle and Norma Circle are not dedicated roads. ~ ;5ee ~
(An inaudible conversation with village attorney Courtney fOllOWed).am~w
~ffi. STANLEY BERGLUND, 4133 James Circle: Asked if James Circle
was a dedicated road. Doesn't want any further delays. l~ts the
street surfaced n~l.

. .
COUNCILN1lli OUJEN: Said he recalled that the developer was to
pay for the cost of roads in that area. Furthur con~nted that it
would be cheaper to surface all of the streets in the area at one
time. He said there would be no objection to doing each road indiv-
idually if the property owners or developer didn't object to the
additional cost.
[vJR. STANLEY BERGLUND, 4133 James Circle (Spoke before): Asked
ttlhy the curbs and gutters were included in the improvement. 'l'he
answer was that they were included for drainage purposes.
~JR. RICHARD 11YERS, 4117 Gale Circle (Spoke before): Said thEY
have water on their property due to the drainage of the village park
on the ot~er side of Floral Drive. ASked if there were any plans in
this imp~ovement to take care of that.
.
COUNCILHAN HOLLENHORST: Asked -,,'ilY there should be a delay in
surfacing the roads in the circles. Engineer Christofferson replied
it was because of possible settling. Councilman Hollenhorst asked
the engineer if, in his opinion, the surfaci.ng should be delayed.
~trQ Christo=ferson replied th~t he would not guarantee no settling
if the roads ",ere surfaced nO\\". Councilman Hollenhorst then said he
dion't believe the property owners on Floral Drive should be subject
to a 100% assessment for street resurfacing if the reason for it is
due to problems created by the "'lai:er project. Asked how practical
it would be to put the street in reasonably good driving condition for
a few years without doing the permanent street surfacing. Mr.
Christofferson indicated that he had had assurances from the contractor
that. they would repair the crossings which are in bad condition.
MR. ROBERT ANDERSON, 1357 Floral Drive: Said that neither the
se\!er or water contractors fulfilled their obligations of repairing
the streets and it was his understanding that the sewer contractor
hadn't been paid in full because of the street work yet to be done.
l~. Christofferson said he would check into the matter.
HR. ROBERT HANSEi~, 1465 Floral Drive (Spoke before) : Asked how
long the contractors had to complete their jobs. Mr. Christofferson
repli.ed it was usually one year but there have been oontractors who
have come in after the length of time to !aake repairs.
COUNCILV~N HOLLEl1HORST: Suggested that if the people on James
Circle are willing to gamble on the road not settling, he was in
favor of putting in that portion of the improvement.
HR. STANELY BERGLUND, 4133 James Circle (Spoke before): Would
like to have the road surfaced.

COUNCILI1AN HOLLENHORST:
Circles were initiated by the
waiting.
The improvements on Gale and Norma
Council, asked if the engineer suggests
MR. RICHARD HYERS, 4117 Gale Circle (Spoke before): He didn't
think Gale and Norma Circles should be excluded from the improvement.
MR. ROBERT ANDERSON, 1357 Floral Drive (Spoke before): Asked
if anyone on Floral Drive had indicated that they were in favor of
curbs and gutters.
MR. RICHARD MYERS, 4117 Gale Circle (Spoke before): Wants his
road improved.
.
MR. STANLEY BERGLUl,m, 4133 James Circle (Spoke before): Asked
when a definite commitment would be made as to what action the Council
will take on this improvement. ~:ayor crepeau explained the statutory
provision that a decision could be made any time within the next six
months.
COUNCILIlJAN HERRICK: Said that at this point his impression was
that the property owners want James Circle paved immediately and he
felt they could then be assessed 100% for the improvement. The pro-
perty owners on Floral Drive want the water contractor to upgrade the
street to the condition it was before they started working: the people
in the area totally agree they do not want curbs and gutter although
they realize there is a drainage problem.
MR. ROBERT ANDERSON, 1357 Floral Drive: They would like Floral
Drive upgraded to its condition before sewer construction.
COUNCIU'lAN HENDERSON: Asked if the Circles could be improved
by putting in the base gravel and compaction so they have a good
driving surface with the expectation that the settling is still going
to happen which can then be repaired before the overlay is put on.
Nr. Christofferson indicated that it could be done but to travel over
it during the winter and during muddy times tends to contaminate the
gravel and create undue pumping from the bottom and it could cause
costly repairs when you're ready to resurface. Councilman Henderson
asked if it would be more costly than repairing the overlay after it
settles down. The, answer was no. t~. Christofferson further said this
would create a passable surface although it would be dusty in dry times
and muddy during the wet season.
NAYOR CREAPEAU: l\sked if there would still be settlement on all
three of the circles if they were compacted property and the work
done this season. l>lr. Christofferson replied that this involves a
difficult clay type material to work with and he couldn't guarantee
that there would be no further settling.

filRS. SUE HUSTINGS, 4136 Norma Circle: She'd rather wait and
have the jOb done the cheapest after the road has settled.
MR. DON SALMELA, 4123 Norma Circle: Agrees with Mrs. HUstings
about Norma Circle but thinks Floral Drive has been neglected and j I1st
a little work could make it at least driveable.
MR. I-JAX ROBINSON, 1869 Noble Road: If the improvement t...ould be
delayed for a year, wouldn't there still be the same problem of com-
paction at that time. Vir. Christofferson replied that this \'las true
and there have been occasions when the settling occurred as much as
five years later.
.
MR. CHARLES CATHCART, 1399 Floral Drive: Would like to delay
the improvement on Floral Drive but make an attempt to have the con-'
tractors repair the street to the condition it was in before the util-
ity improvements were put in.
COUNCI~llU1 OLMEN: Since no one can guarantee that there would
be further settling he thought it was up to the property owners to
decide whether they want to risk putting in the improvement now or
wait another year and have a little more assurance.
MR. DOt1 CHRISTOFFERSON: Commented that if the whole roadway i...as
compacted and surfaced now it would prevent water from entering the
roadway area which luight improve the chances of not having further
settlement.
MR. STANLEY BERGLUND, 4133 James Circle (Spoke before): Asked
how many years it takes for ground to compact. fOC. Christofferson
replied that there really is no answer.
COUNCIU'UU" HOLLENHORST: Said he thought the three circles should
be surfaced now with the hope that they wouldn't settle too badly.
MRS. SUE HUSTINGS, 4136 Norma CirclG: Since the cost of sur-
facing each circle is different and since Norma Circle is in the best
condition, would their assessment be less. l~en told the construction
would be done at one time and the assessments would be the same she
indicated that she would want Norma Circle done separately. Further
said their street is in good enough condition that it could be dropped
from the improvement.
MR. DON SAU~illLA, 4123 Norma Circle: (Spoke before): Said they
have a base for blacl~top on Norma Circle. It was put in by the
platter and then it was resurfaced with the same material after the
sewer was put in. Then it was oiled but was torn up for the water
improvement and regraded after that. It's graded fairly well and the
drainage is acceptable. ,r.l.th just a little grading it would probably
be ready for blacktopping.

MR. STAclLEY BERGLUHD, 4133 James Circle (Spoke before): Said
that both James Circle and Norma Circle have basically the same con-
dition and the same base. They were repaired by the contractor.
MR. RICHARD M1.'Ep,s, 4117 Gale Circle (Spoke before): If the
improvement is postponed something will have to be done to Gale Circle
to keep it driveable. With a few more rains it will be washed away.
COUNCILNAN OLMEN: Asked how effective a rolled curb would be
instead of concrete curb and gutter so far as drainage is concerned.
After the public had full opportunity to be heard, the hearing
was closed. After discussion by Council members the final decision
on the improvement was postponed, with action to be taken at a later
