CITY OF CENTERVILLE CITY COUNCIL JOINT COUNCIL MEETING WITH HUGO AND LINO LAKES SEPTEMBER 14, 1995 MEETING NOTES The three councils got together to discuss the Joint Stormwater Comp Plan for Clearwater Creek and also the 35E Intersection business expansion. The Stormwater Comp Plan proposal would be to allow Clearwater Creek to.flow at a lower cfs (cubic feet per second) constantly. The current peak discharge is 417 cfs and this would reduce it by 30%, 275 cfs. They would put an additional, smaller culvert in at 35E. It would be placed lower than the current one to allow the constant run of water through but at a slow pace. They also want to widen the creek up from Lino Lakes and through Hugo to allow the storage ponds to drain. The funding would be from a storm drainage utility fund. The projected cost of the project is $1,200,000.00 over a 10 year period. This would allow utilization from the storage ponds without draining the increase rate of the creek. The plan is how water can be best drained and utilized more effectively. The proposal has been sent to Rice Creek Watershed Dist. (I forwarded a copy to Dave Nyberg, MSA on September 19, 1995). Rice Creek has it currently tabled for more detailed information. They have however, received comments of general support. Because Clearwater Creek is considered a ditch, they are running into problems with complying to ditch laws. In summery, this proposal would allow Clearwater Creek to run at a constant slower rate allowing the storage ponds also to drain. So when we get a week of rain yards, fields and streets will not be flooded. 35E Clearwater Creek Business Area Lino Lakes has the area around 35E and County Road 14 zoned as General Business and Light Industrial. There is a Clearwater Creek Housing Development going in on the east side of 35E - southeast of Centerville. There business area study consists of: elevated water storage, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water mains. Res.ectfully submitted, Trudi Breuninger Assistant City Clerk City of Hugo
