- 219 COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 9, 1991 Parkview Estates in Lino Lakes. This subdivision has park trails between two (2) lots. He said that he is having a very hard time selling the model on one (1) of the lots because prospective buyers do not want the intrusion from park trails at the edge of their lots. Mr. Keith Eibensteiner agreed and asked who would be building the trails. Mr. Marcel Eibensteiner said that if he is required to build a trail system through his plat he will void the plat and develop the area as platted in Lake Crest. Mike Swanson, 985 Birch Street said he was opposed to park trails going around three (3) sides of his property. He also noted that his house was too close to the street to allow the construction of a trail across the front of his property. Mr. Swanson noted that there is a water problem to the north of his lot. He expressed concern that the construction of additional houses would only increase the water problem he is currently experiencing. George Ulfig, 1002 Lantern Lane expressed concern regarding the water level on the proposed pond. He noted that he and two (2) of his neighbors have water problems because at times too much water is trying to leave the pond behind his house through a small outlet pipe. He asked what will happen to Outlot A. This outlot is almost entirely ponding. He noted that if this outlot is eliminated there will be no chance of correcting the water problems behind his house. Mr. Ulfig also noted that many small tress are growing on the Outlot and they block drainage toward the lake. Mr. Ulfig expressed concern about flooding on his lot. Mr. Boxrud explained that Outlot A will remain a ponding area plus there will also be considerable more ponding areas. He noted that with the large amount of wetlands on the site and the ability to dig down the pond on the Outlot plus unplugging the pipe to Reshanau Lake, there will be sufficient active ponding areas to provide drainage for the existing homes. Mr. Boxrud said the key concern will be controlling the water table and to get all the water through the pipes to the lake. He will monitor this matter closely and verify all drainage plans. Tim Stemig, 6647 Black Duck Drive gave the Council a letter tonight in which he expressed concern about the runoff from the development. He asked that the City make sure the runoff does not end up in his basement. Mr. Stemig said the area is one (1) giant sponge and felt that no matter how big the pipes were, there would be no way to handle all the water. He said that he felt it was "crazy" to build in this area. He suggested that the Council personally look and see how much water is now on the property. Steve Jackson, 1044 Lantern Lane explained that the drainage PAGE 6 1 1 1
