Trudeau Director � , Department of Finance and i�anagement Services 113 City Hall St, raul, Minnesota 55102 Re; Objection to 4dmini�trative Order.# D-307 - Alley improvement Dear Mr. Trudeau: Since it is not possible for �Irs. Slettom and me to be present . in the Council Hearing Room on July 5 to voice our objections to thP aboJe orc�er, we request that this letter become part of the record. We own the residence at 20g0 Commonwealth Avenue which borders on the lon; side of thP alley. Consequently, we face the back- side of three lots. Fortunately, the hedge which runs the length of our 7�roperty serves as a screen and shuts out the vi.ew of parked cars, trash cans and open garage doors. This heclge is very important to us. It now appears that this hedge will either be severely mutilated or destroyed if present plans to improve the alley become a reality. We have not received any definite assurance that this is not likely to occur. We have been told tha.t two concrete steps which connect the alley to our walk that runs fro� the front of our Yiouse to the rear will be removed. If these walks are destroy�ed, it seems apparent that the hedge will also be destroyed. We are also concerned about the walk if the contemplated cut is ma,de. There will be little earth left to support the walk and no possibility to build a retaining wall because our property line is so near the alley. We have received no advice on how new steps can be constructed tha� will not encroach on the alley. i�e are amazed at the cost of this project when compared with the usual alley improvement cost of about $4.50 per foot. The estimated cost for this project is �10 per foot. In our case we have the dubious distinction of having the highest assessment of �750 and suffering the greatest damage. There certainly must be some alternative to installing the costly storm sewer. Uur experience in trying to improne the alley indicated that we can move the water from the alley by sloping the alley floor toward our property line. The trouble we run into is the fact that the sidewalk at Commonwealth serves as a dam. We had a fair drain operating under the sidewalk until the city crews filled the outlet �with asphalt. . � ' " Robert W, Trudeau +�.r ' June 2S, 1973 Page 2 From years of experience in trying to keep the alley in fair shape anci observing the water movement, we offer this alternative: l. Do not wic�en the alley but work within present limits. 2. Slope the alley so that the water will collect and move along side our property. The slope should be sufficient to keep water from getting into the one or two garages across the alley. (The rest have alL built up the alley so no water gets in their garages. Much of the complained about water is from their own garage roofs and yards. ) � 3. Black top the alley. L,.. Provide a catch basin on the alley side at the Commonwealth sidewalk and connect to the street storm sewer. �r1e realize that this kind of improvement does not meet en�ineering specifications but we are convinced that it will da the job and at a breatl_y reduced cost. It would eliminate about 300 feet of storm sewer. Mrs. Slettom and I wish to again express our opposition to this order and urge that the City Council deny the order with the request tha.t a plan that is less destructive and less costly be proposed for consideration. Your consideration of our request will be deeply appreciated. Sincerely yours, �''� ., /, , �"� L::tF,r f.--.r.��y�.�'_.' . " ` .

Paul, MN 55102 Gentlemen: Reference is made to: (1) File 16655GS, Pa,ge 3 (2) Administrative Order D-307 I plan to be present at the hearing scheduled for 10 AM on July 5 regarding the improvement to the alley in McLaughlin and Snyder's Rearrangement and Block 46, St+ Anthony Pa,rk Nort#�, but I shall present my views in writing in the event that business should take me out of the city on the day of the hearing. I am very much in favor of proceeding with the surfacing of the alley for the following reasons : 1. It has been demonstrated by trial over the past two years that the "makeshift" drain under the sidewalk at the Commonwealth end of the alley, combined with annual grading and dressing of the alley surface does not prevent rapid refor- mation of chuck holes in the north third of the alley each spring and summer. 2. The chuck holes which form become large and numerous making it very difficult to find a path which will not cause damage to the running gear of the car - let alone avoid the splash- ing of muddy water on the car after each shower or rain. 3. The dirt surface of the alley is a source of dust from the traffic, and mud from the water in the chuck holes make it next to impossible to maintain a clean car and garage floor. � � � , Page 2 I enclose four (4) snapshots taken this spring to illustrate the aforementioned chuck holes which form in the alley, and the unsuccessful "makeshift" drain under the sidewalk.
