MINUTES CITY COUNCIL September 6, 1989 Fahey pointed out the Watershed's requirement of silting ponds and did not anticipate the Watershed's allowing the pond to be eliminated. Pierce asked why a silting pond is not a part of the Boosalis proposal if 5chreier will be required to retain his pond. The City Engineer replied that there is a holding pond as part of the Boosalis project, and reported that run-off from the site will be directed into that pond and then north out of the property and eventually into Round Lake. Pierce was concerned that the City did not have all the details on the drainage at this time, pointing out that the residents of the area were told that this information would be available at this meetinq. The City Engineer pointed out that the Watershed has the final say on the drainage, and Fahey pointed out that the Watershed will not be concerned with details such as if the storm sewer will be on the Pierce property or within the Schrier easement. The City Engineer agreed, pointing out that Boosalis's engineer has indicated that drainage will be directed to Round Lake, but the details of which side of the property line the storm sewer will go have not been worked out. Don Pantzer, Round Lake Townhome Association, reported that he has made several calls to try to determine who owns the property between the townhomes and the apartments and has been unsuccessful. Pantzer also reported that he has learned that the City required Schrier to put in the holding pond on his property, but the County and Watershed have indicated that they made no requirement regarding this pond. Pantzer was concerned about whether Round Lake oould handle additional water. The City Engineer reported that the property which Pantzer is unsure about its ownership is owned by the apartment complex. Page 5
