The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee was read and upon motion by
Thomas, second by DeVries, and all present voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was
approved: "Honorable Mayor & Common -Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
The request ,of Mr. Robert Weber'for installation.of City Water Service to his
residence at 511 - 6th Ave. S.E. was referred to this Committee on May 22, 1962.
We have reviewed the situation with the Supt. of the Water Dept* and the City
Engineer. In view of the low ground on which this house is built, adjacent to an
unimproved street -and the relative low value of the property weighed against the
high cost of extending a water main from 6th St. S. E., we do not feel that the
installation of water main in 6th Ave. to serve this property is feasible. We
also consider that the costs of a water main would exceed any increase in the
property's value until both the street is graded and the land is filled-aatsin.
The only solution available for water service to this building is for the
owner to install an individual 3/4" copper water service from the main in 6th
St. S. E. However, this estimated expense of approximately $1000 is considered
to be not warranted for this building.
Respectfully,
/s Harold DeVries
/s Wallace Thomas
/s David Leonard"

President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for hearing on the follow-
ing projects:
Hearing on construction of storm sewer system in Elton Hills Subdivision. Mr. Eric
Peterson of 1426 - 22nd Street N. W. was present and stated that most of the people present wanted
to try to find out what the storm sewer situation is, why and how it came into being and what the
amount of the assessment would be against each house or lot. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer,
stated that this improvement which is known as the Elton Hills storm sewer was installed in 1957
and at that time the construction was undertaken by the developers of the land, who constructed
the water mains and sewers; including the storm sewer, with approval of the City. Subsequently
it was found that the storm sewer was not adequate to take care of the water and afterstudying
it for several years we determined it was not adequate and employed the firm of Toltz, King,
Duval and Anderson and Associates tb design the proposed improvement, which is a minimum
improvement to the trunk lines, and we had plans drawn for this improvement for which bids were
received this afternoon; the Council has had many meetings with Builders Land Company and the
Engineers and after much arguing they have arrived at an'assessment to Elton Hills which is
estimated at what it would have been the additional cost if it had been constructed adequately

a portion will be assessed and the City will pay the balance. The improvement is only on the
trunk line and several of the main laterals, principally the laterals on 13th and 14th Avenues.
Mr. Armstrong said he could not give the exact amount that would be assessed, but on the basis
of,the study it was estimated that about 700 lots would be affected, and 1/3 of the total cost
or about $46,000.00 would be assessed which would make the assessment about $60'.00 per lot or
house. Mr. James Watson of 2205.Elton Hills Drive; Mr. Arthur Maley of 2567 - llth Avenue N.W.;
Mr. Lawrence Lyke of 2411 - 16th Avenue N.W.; Mr. Alfred E. Roberts of 1436 Cascade Street; Mr.

17th Avenue N.W., and numerous others all spoke in opposition to the improvement as proposed,
stating that they felt this project was extravagant and unnecessary•and.felt the developers and
engineer should pay for the costs if there were -to be any. R. V. Ehric, City Attorney,
explained that the proposed assessment is no greater than the estimated difference of the cost
of the sewers if they had been built adequately at the start; he said the developers had lived
up to their contract and built the sewer in accordance with plans presented by the private
engineering firm of K. M. McGhie and the City did not feel it necessary to investigate the
recommendations of a qualified engineer; he -said -the City is considering legal recourse to try
to recover some of the execess costs from the engineering firm. After hearing those present for
