Acting Mayor Hanson read a letter from Earl Wills urging the Council to consider the installation of curb and gutter also. The following points were brought out in the hearing: 1) Third Avenue NW does not meet the qualifications for an M.S.A. street and thus the construction cannot be paid from M.S.A. funds. 2) Properties abutting Third Avenue NW will be assessed for a heavy street inasmuch as the area is zoned_ commercial and industrial. This includes residences as well as businesses. 3) There will be no duplication of assessments for like improvements.

McGraw, stating that he represented 90+ property owners in the affected area, asked questions to clar.ily the area .involved and the proposed method of assessment, and questioned whether the council had the at!thority to asses, al l property owners wheit the.re may he a doubt as to "benef its" received. Warren Macemon, 435 Kay Street, questioned the depth of the storm sewer, and stated the Council should look forward to the expansion of Hutchinson and project benefits to areas outside the city limits so they may atinex .in the future, con- struction should be adequate to take card of future developments so there will not be a duplication of improvements. Donald A. Peterson, Superintendent of Schools, asked how much of the high school property was included in the ,survey. The Engineers stated that the SE corner of the site was included, inasmuch as tris area drains to the East accordaing to the topogs available. Determination of a definite area will be made when more detailed plans and study are made. Donald R. Coles, 614,- 3rd Avenue SW, asked If permanent etreets could be con- structed in the area if' there is no storm sewer. Answer - permanent streets without drainage are a waste. of money because street does not stand up if there is no drainage provided.- Otto rovided. Otto Homburg, 736 Glen St. S., questioned whether the proposed storm sewer con- struetion would aid in the drainage of the ".lough" by the Coca Cola plant on Linden Avenue, and whether the storm sewer lino would connect with the existing County Ditch #17 for this area. The Engineers will clieck this problem before final plans and specifications are drawn, but question whether the line will be deep enough to catch the county tile it thi.�_ point. John Padrnos, 840 Lynn Road, stated he has , ;urnp pump which pumps water into his yard, whic4 then drains back into the st.Jr1?p pump, is pumped out again, etc., recirculating surface water. He was in favor of the storm sewer project as not only benefitting the drainage of surfact, Water directly but also to relieve the :Load on the sewage treatment plant for sump{dumps drained into the sanitary sewer system. 1 Eugene (Bud) Daggett, 440 Dale Street, asked if additional lines will have to e installed outs i e the present city Limit,_ in order for the area outside of town to be serviced in the future. Answer - lines are mw designed to take care of normal residential development, brrr-'fr-there is development to include many hard -surfaced lots, then additional lines would be necessary. I Special- Council Meeting - 2 - November 28, 1967 HA E. ,Jensen, 415 Lynn Road. I question whether land south of the city will bene- fit from this system or LI_ the system should be larger to take care of' this E .l ow. John Keefe, owner of Lot !-E, Rice Addition, favored the project. He stated the City has been talking about such an :improvement for approximately .10 years. Let's do it now, so the southwest area ui towel can be developed and protected from flooding. William Snyder, 71j Southdview Drive. We had a lot of trouble with a wet - f.Iooded - basement several years agu when surface water drained into the sani- t,nry sewer manholes and backed up into our basements. I am in favor of the proliect to prevent such occurrences in the future. Fred King, 430 -4th Avenue SW. I have no water problem, and am not interested in this storm sewer project. Forest Crowley, 945 Osgood ;Avenue. Please clarify the northern boundarv. Isn't there a duplication of assessments between th-is district and the Lewis Avenue Storm Viewer District? Answer - there will be no duplication of assessments. Boundary lines to be determined, and previous storm sewer areas served and assessed, upon more detailed engineering .study. Jack Powers, 956 Thomas Avenue. Will County Ditch No. 17 be abandoned? Mayor Kost - Council will- petition thu County Commissioners to take this out of the County ditch system after the last piece of property involved has become a part of the e i.ty, since all the land will then be in the city. Possible portions of County Ditch 17 will becomes a part of the city storm sewer wstem. Joe Youmans, 428 Main Street south. Re County Ditch - do you mean this ditch would be cut off .from the drainage tiysterri? Answer - no, it would be ahandoned as ii county ditch but made ,i part of the c i.ty storm sewer system. Does not mean it would be stopped up so does not iu nct:i.on. We would do what is best for the city to help the draina.1 problem. (Notice re Coke plant property) . Mrs. Albin Plath, 605 Grove St. S. We would like to have the project so Grove Street can be improved. It hasn't been improved and needs it badly. Ronald J. McGraw, attorney for property owners involved. t) Yes, there are certain small areas within this drainage district that are having trouble. 2) Question whether the lines being constructed on streets will aid property water problems. 3) Question whether should assess property owners for improvements which will provide fur street drainage. 4) Those persons with probelems are in areas that were low when they purchased. Doubt whether blame can be placed on property oil higher ground ,lith cost assessed to them. �) Gave they City Attorney a "Memorandum of Law" of cases in this type of :improvement to see if there is a direct benefit. Relieves the proposed :isle,. ;ment against aJA property within the drainage district is contrary to .law, and believes courts will not call this a direct benefit. 6) Would suggest council considers assessments only to "benefitted" properties ar assess all. people :in the city. 7) Cautioned the council in de.termini.ng properties which will benefit. Don O. Kust, Mayor. It is nut easy to determine who benefits from an improvement (of this type), but the council believes that through precedent set by councils Lip to 10 years ago, property in the water shed area is benefited by storm sewer construction. Jotui P<-tdrnos, 840 Lynn Road. 1 served on the council in Rro�,;nton before moving to Hutchinson. They have an adequate storm sev.,er system. I had assumed a big city like Hutchinson would have storm sewer. All Homes in this area have a water problem unless they have a sump pump. These discharge into the street and that water must go somewhere. Much in .favor of the project to drain land without necessity of sump pumps. This would give us much better streets. Ray Schaefer, 937 itayden Ave. Does not believe the storm sewer system will take care of the water problem ire Need field tile for this. Special Council Meeting - 3 - November 28, 1967 H. W. Filk, 385 West Pishney Lane. Understand no route is to go through West Pishney Lane. Is this the area the county tile runs through? Answer - yes. In this area and at the present time the engineer does not know exact location. Is it your intention to still use this tile? Engineer - will probably have to be abandoned inasmuch as it will be crossed in several places. Possible could connect with new storm sewer. Mr. Filk expressed approval of the project. Question. What about street resurfacing if disturbed by construction - streets, curb and gutter, sidewalks, lawns? Answer - Do not anticipate such disturbances except in Pishney Lane and in two other spots. Places would have to be restored to their original condition. Question. How long would an area be torn up for construction? Answer - 2 to 3 days depending upon whether conditions are normal. Not more than 3 days from time of excavation until surface is again levelled (backfilled.) Orville Olson, 320 E. Pishney Lane. Re tile on Pishney Lane. Street drains will remain in place and catch basins installed if there are none there. Lowell Gilhousen, 621 -4th Avenue SW. On whose property on Merrill Street will the main be located? Will be located on Merrill Street to 4th Avenue, and then out 4th Avenue. If tile is crossed, will connect to it. Mr. Gilhousen stated his belief his property would be crossed by the line. Has storm sewer in front of his place it "works good." Of what benefit would a new storm sewer be to me? H. E. Jensen, 415 Lynn Road. Has the council considered making this for the whole community instead of just this one area? (Referring to cost assessment). Roger DeKoster, member of School Board. Speaking as a resident in the southeast part of town - we paid for storm sewer and permanent street and don't believe we should help pay for this southwest area. Ray Schaefer, 937 Hayden Ave. How long ago was this policy of assessment started? John Keefe, owner of Lot 4, Rice Addition. Other areas paid for their storm sewers. This area should also. Phil Karg, 855 Grove South, also owner of large portion of land lying south and east of curve on Highway 15 by Grove Street and Lynn Road, questioned whether his land on highway 15 would benefit from this project. Answer - this is a questionable fringe area and flow will have to be determined. Wally Pikal, 835 Brown St. I would like a storm sewer so we can have curb and gutter. Can I have curb and gutter after storm sewer in installed. Answer -yes. Ferdinand Engelsmeier, 656 Milwaukee Ave. Against the project. Question. Will cemetery get assessed for their benefits? Answer - included in city property. Eou#s Brunner, 968 Hayden Ave. I have no problem and don't need it. Howard Madsen, 705 Church St. I looked for a lot where I would not have a water problem. The streets from my house to downtown are in poor shape and I cannot travel on them. If this storm sewer will bring a better street for use by all the ptople, then it benefits the entire southwest area. Howard Madsen, 705 Church St. After this storm sewer will we have to wait for peitions from property owners for permanent streets? Answer - council can start street improvement proceedings from either petitions of property owners, or can start proceedings itself if deemed necessary. Hugo Saar, 616 Merrill. What will this street be like after construction of the storm sewer? Answer - street is to be returned to original condition. If there is now just a mat, this will not be done until the street has settled. Lowell Gilhousen, 621 -4th Avenue SW. Why not put {the whole thing (cost) on the city and be done with it? 4 Special Council Meeting 4 - November 28, 1967 Mrs. Phil Karg, 855 Grove St. S. (& property south and west of Highway 15 curve). Will people who annex later be assessed on the same basis as city? Answer - yes, on a deferred assessment basis, plus interest. Engineer Muller. Emphasized that this is an estimate of cost only. Harry Binuenheimer, 572 Milwaukee Avenue. The people outside the city will get benefits and yet won't have to pay until they annex. City will have to absorb the cost until that time. Cliffowdd Benson, 440 Larson (corner of Larson and Roberts Road) . Does this benefit land south of Linden Avenue? Answer - there will be a line on Linden. Lines south of Linden have not been planned at this time because we do not know what kind of construction there will be in this area. Laterals will have to be constructed in the future. Ronald J. McGraw, attorney. Is it really necessary to have storm sewer before curb and gutter and permanent streets? Answer - yes, for proper drainage of street so it will stand up. Paul Boettcher, 226 -5th Avenue SW. Will I be assessed on this project or/and on Main Street? Answer - this is a fringe area where there is a question. Will have to be determined. Bruce Nelsen, 660 Southview Drive. Favors the project. Would like some re- assurance of the legal aspects Mr. McGraw brought up. Cost in the future will be more than now, problem will be worse as the area develops. Let'd do it now. Hearing closed at 9:55 P.M. Motion was made, seconded and carried to adjourn the meeting at 9:56 P.M. CITY OF HUTCHINSON �i 10901Q 55350 OFFICES AT 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST December 8, 1967 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Hutchinson Gentlemen: I have discussed snow removal with the Street Department Superintendent, Harry Otto, and there are two things that should be considered to improve the efficiency of said work. 1. Limiting of parking on residential streets on alternate days for plowing, such as no parking on odd numbered days for houses with odd numbers and even numbered days for houses with even numbers, 2. Restricting the removal of snow from commercial property. At present many commercial or business establishments push the snow onto the street. This hinders the plowing operations and lengthens the time of snow removal from the streets. Tt would help both plowing and removal operations if the snow was stored on the private property until our streets were cleaned and then hauled away by the City trucks. Yours truly, CITY OF HUTCHINSON Marlow V. Priebe City Engineer MVP:mdo The following business establishments presently stockpile the snow on their property until the City can haul it away; Highway 7 - Texaco, Standard Oil, Erickson, and Shell Service Station 2nd Ave. - Albrecht Service Station Adams St. - Pure Oil and Texaco Service Station, Moerhing and Frank Motors The following business establishments presently push snow out onto the street; Main Street - North Star, Skelly, Standard Oil, Phillips 66, Shell Oil Service Stations - Dairy Queen, Hutch Growth Parking Lot, First National Bank, Super Valu.
