-5- Don Lydon, 3024 Highcrest Road, asked what his assessment would be. ~~. Turnlund replied that he would furnish a list of the anticipated assessments and each could look up his particular assessment at the end of the meeting. Mr. Lydon asked about assessments on property on Lydia Avenue and Lydia Court. The Mayor explained that this property was not being assessed since it did not contribute any water to the Highcrest Storm Sewer. Mrs. Charles L. Garr, 3016 Highcrest Road. Mrs. Garr stated she did not believe the property on Lydia and Lydia Court east of Highcrest Road did not benefit from the water improvement. In fact, she felt they benefited more than she. She stated also she felt she was pay- ing to solve someone else's problem. The Mayor pointed out that most of the water problem originated in St. Anthony and they were defraying 95% of the cost of the project and that 5% assessed against the properties in Roseville was because these properties contributed water to Highcrest Road. Since Lydia and Lydia Court properties did not contribute water to Highcrest Road they would not be assessed for this project. Mrs. Garr asked if this then goes for completing the resurfacing of Highcrest Road. The ~myor replied there would be no resurfacing other than grading and oiling of the street. Mrs. Garr then asked about the trench that was dug in the fall of 1962 to alleviate the drainage situation. The Mayor stated as soon as the storm sewer project was completed the trench would be filled in and the road graded back to its original shape. Mr. Turnlund explained that there was a difference between maintaining and resurfacing a road. Resurfacing probably would only be undertaken on an assessment basis, whereas maintenance involved grading the road to shape and dust~eat- ing it with an oil surface. William J. Karlson, 3016 Highcrest Road. Mr. Karlson asked the question if two cents per square foot applied only to lands that would drain directly to Highcrest Road. The ~~yor stated yes. He then asked if there would be any further assessments on this property for storm sewers which would be installed in the Village streets. The Mayor answered that there would be no further assessments on property described in this improvementi that is, that section included in the assessment. However, if storm sewers were necessary to take water off another portion of the property, which drained into another dir- ection, that portion would be assessed for the storm sewer in the future. ~tt. Donald Kozen, 2528 Lydia Avenue, stated that he was not directly involved in the assessment but he was affected by the water. He stated he woulu like to know whether or not there were going to be catch basins on the east side of Highcrest. The Mayor stated there would be catch basins stationed along Highcrest at points designated by the engineers as necessary for pickup of water. Mr. Hanson indicated the locations of the catch basins indicated on the plan now under construction by the Village of St. Anthony. Mr. Kozen then asked if there would be any further problem with water running down streets in Roseville, such as Millwood, Lydia Avenue, etc. The Mayor said there shouldn't. Mr. Kozen then asked if the open ditches along Lydia Avenue could be discontinued. Mr. Turnlund replied that it would be necessary to maintain these ditches to assure adequate drainage of water off the streets from property east of Highcrest Road.
