1 1 COUNCIL MEETING = JULY 9, 1990 Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing at 7:30 P.M. He explained the procedure for the public hearing. Mort Huber of Acorn Investments commented on the temporary lift station noting that this is a common situation and very necessary. He also said he will be flexible in the matter of constructing the streets to adjoining property. Steve Heiskary, 572 Arrowhead Court said he has a concern with the planned trail along his property. He noted that the area is under water at times and also none of the residents in his area were consulted about the plan for the trail system. They would like the plan under consideration for Birch Woods to be revised and the trails relocated. Mike Pojar, 6255 Red Maple Lane noted that his property adjoins the southeast corner of this plat. His concern is that his property is low at that point and if a street is constructed near the property line it could back up the flow of water into his property and cause flooding. He noted that the planned street is proposed to be ten (10) feet higher than his property elevation. The street would act as a dam in the area. Mr. Pojar reminded the Council that this matter was discussed at the public hearing for the preliminary plat of Reshanau Lake Estates. At that time it was noted that a pipe would be place under the street to allow the water to flow north. Mr. Boxrud said that he did recall the planned culvert and said he would review the drainage plans to be sure it is low enough so water does flow north into the ponding areas in Reshanau Lake Estates South. Mr. Boxrud will notify Mr. Pojar if there are any changes on the grading plans. Mike Klebe, 594 Arrowhead Drive said he was concerned about drainage in his back yard. Mr. Boxrud said that the drainage plan is currently before the Rice Creek Watershed District. He noted that it is planned to drain this area to a culvert and it will trickle away from that point. Mr. Huber said that he will correct problems for adjoining neighbors at Mr. Huber's expense providing that it is within reason. He said he wanted to be a good neighbor. and would cooperate with the City fully. Mr: Huber was reminded to be sure to contact the neighbors before any work was started on their property. There were no further comments from the audience. Mr. Reinert expressed concern because the drainage from this subdivision appears to be going into the Reshanau Lake Estates ponding and then to Reshanau Lake. He asked if 'hose ponds could handle the additional flow. Mr. Boxrud exp ined that the outflow will be controlled so that the water u 1 not leave the proposed subdivision any faster than what t leaves now. The drainage pattern will not be changed.
