1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 27, 1995 <br />of the flow from the subdivision. All this additional <br />information would be put in context with fitting in with the <br />overall drainage study which was prepared by the City of Hugo. <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that more detailed information would be <br />available to the property owners. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Powell to state the regulation <br />regarding predevelopment runoff and post development runoff. Mr. <br />Powell explained that the rate of runoff is controlled to <br />predevelopment conditions. This means that if a landowner had a <br />stream of water flowing through his property before development, <br />that same stream of water would still be flowing through his <br />property after the development is completed. The only difference <br />is that the stream may flow longer than it did before the <br />development occurred. Mr. Powell explained that predevelopment <br />is evaluated based upon existing topography and where the water <br />is currently draining and postdevelopment with the added roof <br />tops, driveways and roadways would have to be routed through <br />storm sewers and ponds in order to hold back until other drainage <br />has time to clear the drainage way or ditch. The volume of <br />runoff may increase but the rate of runoff will not increase. <br />Mr. Powell explained that he spoke to Anoka County Highway <br />Department last week. Their 1995 construction plan includes <br />plans to overlay Otter Lake Road. Bids for this improvement will <br />be taken this spring. County funding requirements could cause a <br />delay in this play. Currently an overlay of Otter Lake Road from <br />County Road J to County Road 14 (Main Street) is included their <br />1995 construction plans. <br />Acting Mayor Neal asked what would happen if the Cunninghams <br />placed a dike around their property or dug a ditch around their <br />property. Mr. Powell said that the RCWD would be involved <br />because such action would impact other neighboring property. He <br />noted that the City has to rely on the RCWD to control the <br />overall drainage plan for the area. <br />Mr. Schumacher summarized by noting that the Planning and Zoning <br />Board has held a public hearing on the request for a rezone and <br />preliminary plat approval. At the last Council meeting <br />additional input was taken from the public because some of their <br />questions were still unanswered and a special work session was <br />held with staff and residents last Wednesday evening. Mr. <br />Schumacher said that on the agenda tonight are two (2) items for <br />Council action, Ordinance No. 01 - 95, rezoning Clearwater and a <br />preliminary plat approval request. He asked that the Council <br />take action on the SECOND READING of Ordinance 01 - 95 first and <br />then take action on the preliminary plat approval. <br />PAGE 16 <br />1 <br />
