MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL l2, 1978 - Page 5 The amount that we are requesting through the grant is approximately $750 thousand dollars, which will cover a portion of the project, but not the total cost. We hope the U of M, State Fairgrounds and other sources of funds will complete the remaining portion of the project. The pre-application has to be submitted between May 1, 1978 and May 15, 1978. We will have another public hearing on April 26, 1978. Councilman Steele asked if Lauderdale, Roseville or any abutting our area, must they be accepted also at the same time as we would be in the total wide area? Could we be turned down if the U of M does not go along with the project? I~~ L_~_: f Mr. McElroy-reported that in order to get the ~~ant monies, we have to prove the entire project would be funded. Clerk Administrator Barnes reported he had had meetings with the State Fair staff and U of M and they did not object to it and they felt they had an obligation because they do have drainage. The engineer will relate the figure they would have to come up with, the U of M has to go to the Legislature for monies and this will be presented to the Regents next month. 4~ ST. ANTHONY STORM SEWER (CONT.) Mr. McElroy Clerk Adminis- trator Barnes Engineer Lemberg described the project and outlined the ENGINEER BRAD area involved on the map. The area we are talking LEMBERG about is bounded by the U of M, coming up to the west area of the Falcon Woods area, down to Larpenteur Ave. Across the north side there was an assessment for the north tier of Falcon Woods and the properties abutting Roselawn Avenue and the N.E. area of the University property, that area drains into the storm sewer that was built and partially paid for by Falcon Heights, built by Roseville a few years ago. The line comes down bisects part of Maple Knoll area and between the back lot lines abutting Snelling and St. Mary's, picks up part of the shopping center, N.E. corner of Snelling and Larpenteur Avenues, comes across GTA property, crosses part of the Hollywood Court area, picks up the parking lot, fairgrounds and down to the tract area. This all drains to the south at the present time through natural drainage, and road ditches. There is a small pipe down to the west border of the Falcon Heights City Hall area, goes down and is picked up by an open drainage ditch the fairgrounds constructed a few years ago, dumps into a pond and then flows overland, runs down through the fairgrounds. and University property into a pond near the student housing area, SW corner.
