515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: December 16, 1994 RE: Dianna Lane Retaining Wall MAYOR Raymond G. Hanson COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson Attached with this memo are the following documents: * A memo from the City Engineer's office dated December 16, 1994. This memo provides some additional information regarding the timber wall option. It also indicates that they have a slight preference for the construction of the retaining wall verses a one -to -one slope. * A memo from Bill Sanders dated December 7, 1994 discussing plantings for a one -to -one slope. I confirmed with Bill Sanders that he is recommending the one -to -one slope over the retaining wall and that he feels it can be a situation which results in low maintenance while being aesthetically pleasing. The key consideration with the plantings of vegetation on the slope will be the cost which is dependent on the type of plantings proposed. Angela Popenhagen with the City Engineer's office indicated that she feels the range of cost estimates initially provided are adequate to address the planting program. * A memo from Dave Harris dated December 13, 1994 dealing with the County's maintenance of the B2 right -of -way. As it indicates, the County does no maintenance of this area unless there is a severe erosion problem. They indicated that they have not been aware of a severe erosion problem along Co. Rd. B2. * A memo from Jerry Bourdon dated November 4, 1994 which initially addressed the retaining wall issue. This is being included for reference purposes. * A memo dated December 4, 1994 from the City Administrator to the residents of the Dianna Lane neighborhood inviting them to Wednesday's meeting and Page 129
