GE
The Manager reviewed the background of the Baker-Valley View Street
Improvement in relationship to the Comprehensive Guide Plan. He noted
that the Bake: Road extension had been included in the Guide Plan.
The proposed design is for a divided four lane facility on Baker between
T.H. 5 and relocated Valley View and a two lane road on the remainder of
Baker and on relocated Valley View. The proposed Valley View relocation
is within the Edenvale area. The Baker extension has been designed to
meet road requirements of Hennepin County and may become a part of the
Hennepin County system at a future date.
The total estimated project cost is $427,120 with special assessments of
$178,280 and anticipated Municipal State Aid Fund proceeds in the amount
of $2489840. The estimated rate of assessment for properties abutting
the full 4-lane design segment of Baker south of relocated Valley View
was given as $25 per foot of assessable fronting property. The estimated
rate of assessment for properties along the interim segments of Baker
and relocated Valley View is $10 per foot of assessable fronting property.
Donald Peterson, representing Edenvale reviewed a letter dated April 5th
that had been presented to the Council. He stated that he felt that the
cost of a normal street should be born by the abutting property owners
in all cases and any cost involved in upgrading a street to higher stand-
ards than needed by an individual property owner in order to carry addition-
al traffic or to meet county or state or village standards should be
charged to state, village or county funds. He further stated than an
assessment policy should be established whereby all property owners are
treated equally whether they are in large development areas or not.
Steve Sopczak, residing on Rosemary Road asked if this extension would not
create more traffic on Baker Road. The Manager stated that it would but
that Baker Road had been identified as a major north/south aerterial road
( system through the center of the Village on the Guide Plan.
