Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: August 18, 2000 <br />RE: Arcade /LaBore Road Neighborhood Meeting <br />YIAYOR <br />Michael L Fahey <br />COUNC' <br />Beverly Scat <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Miorelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached are the minutes from the neighborhood meeting regarding the Arcade/LaBore <br />Road thoroughfare plan. The following topics focus on the key issues discussed at that <br />meeting: <br />Wetlands Issues — <br />Property owners feel that various actions by Maplewood property owners over the years <br />have expanded wetlands in this area. Attached is a memo from Cliff Aichinger from the <br />Ramsey /Washington Metro Watershed District that addresses this matter and gives a <br />depiction of the wetlands existing in 1945 and 1996. Staff is gathering more information <br />on this issue and will be having a meeting with the Watershed and the City of <br />Maplewood staff prior to Wednesday's meeting. <br />I have attached information relative to the Metro Greenways Planning Grant referenced <br />in Cliff's letter. I am also awaiting additional information to discover if there are other <br />grant programs that would assist with acquisition of wetlands. Another attachment <br />describes the wetland tax exemption program that individual property owners may be <br />interested in exploring. <br />This is a difficult issue and will require a solid information base if we are to plan an <br />appropriate course of action. I should have more information to assist this effort by <br />Wednesday's meeting. <br />Pac -20='0 <br />
