COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 3, 1995 completed but will be thoroughly reviewed when it is available. Mr. Powell explained that the septic system can easily be monitored and would normally be monitored as part of the construction process. Ms. Caroline Dahl, 1101 Holly Court explained her concern regarding a buffer between Trapper's Crossing and her home water run-off. Mr. Powell explained that the City has adopted a local water management plan. Although the City has accepted the authority as a Local Government Unit (LGU) Rice Creek Watershed still will review all development plans and issue the appropriate permits as they have done in the past. Mr. Powell also explained that the grading and drainage plans have not been designed, however, the rate of water run-off from Trapper's Crossing cannot be increased. Flooding in the area will not be made worse. Ms. Dahl said that Mr. Brixius had written a letter to the residents indicating that the developer will contact them regarding the berm. As of yet, there has been no contact. Mr. Powell explained that Ms. Wyland will be handling the berm issue. He also noted the developer will be forced to follow the requirements of the City. Mr. Lyden said that holding ponds act as a "cup". The residents had asked for the EAW because of the volume of run-off that will be created by the development. He felt that any increase in the volume of run-off would have a large impact. Mr. Powell said that the volume of run-off is a concern and will be monitored. Sue Walseth, 1101 Holly Drive expressed concern regarding the drainage from a culvert that will come to her property line. She suggested that the culvert be placed in the ditch. Mr. Powell explained that the drawings that were used were not drawn to scale. The developer cannot direct drainage onto her property without an easement. Ms. Walseth noted that there is a holding pond at the other end of her property and she did not want her pasture turned into a wetland. She asked if there was any guarantee that the pond will not overflow and spread sediment onto her property. Mr. Powell said that SEH has also mentioned this issue and it will be monitored in the same manner as Mr. Lyden's septic system. Council Member Bergeson asked that staff let the developer know about the concerns expressed by the residents this evening. The City Council returned to considering the agenda for Monday. Mr. Asleson outlined the proposal from Mr. and Mrs. John Lund to donate a parcel of land to the City for use as a trail between the PineRidge development and Shenandoah park. He noted that PAGE 8
