1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING JULY 8, 1991 phases, the first will consist of 17 building pads and the second will have 12 building pads. Because of the requirements of other review agencies, there will be 11 less building pads than originally planned. Mr. Miller explained that the DNR has expressed concern regarding the preliminary plat because it is adjacent to Amelia Lake. The Vadnais Water Management District has suggested that a pond be constructed as a sedimentation pond to collect the runoff from streets and driveways. A homeowners agreement will be required which gives authority to access the common areas and exterior of buildings. The landscape plan is completed and in the file as well as the grading plan and a concept plan showing the design of the street to the north of the 20 acres. Mr. Boxrud explained the need for and the intent of the ponds. He noted that runoff from all hard surface areas will be directed to the ponds. The streets will be constructed to the same specifications as normal city streets. The association will own the streets and maintain them. The street plans will be reviewed by the Fire Chief.
