MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 23, 2018 and the water would run over the road. He claims the property is being destroyed by the water coming in from the development. He said the water had always ran to the east into Kohlman Lake, and now it is stopped by the dike and holding pond allowed by Maplewood when they approved the development to the east. He does not accept any of the engineer's reports or aerial photos. The City Engineer noted that the City is working with Ramsey County to improve the drainage from County Road D. He noted that much of the development around this property was done in Vadnais Heights and Maplewood, so Little Canada had no control over that. He stated that these developments all met the drainage requirements at the time, which were much different than what they are now. The City Administrator stated that he does not feel it is fair that Mr. Sculley puts the blame on the City of Little Canada. He noted that the Gervais Woods development is working as it should and actually less water is draining to Mr. Sculley's property after the development was built. The City Administrator stated that the Watershed District has reviewed the wetlands several times, and there has been little to no change in the size of the wetlands on the Sculley property over the years. He noted that if the pond flooded the road, that means the obstruction is to the east of the pond since the water flows east. The City Engineer will take a look to see if there is something blocking the water flow in the ditch.
