SCULLEY Mr. Fahey recommended that the Council authorize the City Engineer PROPERTY and City Attorney to commence whatever studies or actions necessary to determine the impact of adjacent development on the Sculley and adjacent properties in Little Canada. Fahey reported that the Sculley's contend that development in the City of Maplewood has increased the amount ofrun-off onto their property. Fahey felt that the City needed to serve as an advocate for its citizens and take an aggressive approach in determining if and what the impact has been on this property. Scalze suggested that the Pogreba property be included in these studies. Fahey stated that the City of Little Canada is not assuming any liability with regard to detrimental impact on the Sculley and adjacent properties. However, he felt that the City had to serve as an advocate for its citizens. He indicated that it would appear logical given the amount of adjacent development in Maplewood, that Little Canada properties are being affected. The City Administrator pointed out that the Watershed has reviewed 1940's aerial information on this area and their position is that the flood plain has not changed. He also noted that a hydrological study of this area would be very expensive. The City Administrator reported that when the Council last discussed this matter, a workshop was to be scheduled with the property owners, representatives ofthe Watershed and the City of Maplewood after the property owners produced the documentation that they indicated they had. However, no information has been submitted. The Administrator recommended that the City proceed with this meeting as soon as possible. This will get all the issues on the table. He further suggested that if a hydrological study is necessary, the Watershed maybe able to assist with it.
