The Chanhassen Village Council met on May 18, 1970, for the
purpose of conducting a public hearing on street improvement
of Blue Jay Street. - Mayor Coulter, Councilmen Bennyhoff and
Klingelhutz were present. Councilmen Pearson and Hill were
absent. The Public Hearing began at 7:30 p.m.
Also present were the Village Attorney, Village Administrator,
and residents Donald J. Rippel, Channing Elliott and Wendell
Gravlun.
The Village Administrator read the official publication and also
read the list of names of residents who were sent notification.
The Village Engineer explained the preliminary report dated
April 30, 1970. An alternate plan was also discussed, in which,
there would be no excavation with an addition only of three inches
of gravel at this time. The total cost of this alternate plan
would cost approximately $550.00.
MR. GRAVLUN: I feel that a minimum amount of cost should be
incurred at this time because the street will be torn up when
sewer and water is installed. The street should be brought up
to the Village standards to be accepted for maintenance.
CHANNING ELLIOTT: I also feel that a minimum amount of work
should be done-to bring the street to the minimum acceptable
standards.
