16 Review Regular Council Agenda of April 24, 2014 -
17
18 4A — City of Lino Lakes Emergency Management Plan — Chief Swenson noted that
19 the council had received a draft indicating the changes proposed to the plan. The plan is
20 updated each year and requires council approval.
21
22 6A — Resolution 14 -36, Approving Storm Water Maintenance Agreement with Rice
23 Creek Watershed District for 21st Avenue Street and Utility Improvements - City
24 Engineer Wedel explained that there are ponds in this improvement area and therefore a
25 maintenance plan is required. It will be submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District
26 if approved by the council.
27
28 6B — Talan Ridge: i) 1St Reading of Ordinance No. 05 -14 to Rezone Property from
29 R, Rural to R -1 Single Family Residential; ii) Resolution No. 14 -34 Approving
30 Preliminary Plat — Planner Larsen noted that the council has reviewed this matter
31 previously; it was postponed from council action to allow for correction of a legal
32 description. She noted that a petition has been received from area residents who are
33 concerned about drainage. She indicated on a site map the ponding plans for the
34 development. Mayor Reinert noted that if he lived in the area, he would want to know
35 how long he would have to bring up any problems that arise. City Engineer Wedel
36 explained the city's process of reviewing drainage. We require grading plans be
37 submitted that show run off in storm events of different levels. After the work is done,
38 the city will also look at an "as built" report to make sure the plans were followed. That
39 is basically where the city signs off on the project. If the area doesn't function as planned
40 for some reason that would basically fall back to the city.
41
42 Paul Whaley, 6200 Laurene, passed around a picture of the area in question shown on his
43 iPad. After hearing about the city's plan review, he is still concerned about water. There
44 is water standing on this property even during drought conditions. He believes that all
45 four sides of the property will be affected by water.

APPROVED
46
47 Judith Brunner, 270 Linda Avenue, told the council that the city is saying that the water
48 will run east off one half of the lot however she is aware that it does not run that way
49 now. If there is no ditch planned for it to run into, then it will decidedly run onto her lot.
50 Ms. Larsen pointed out that without the new development the water is very slow moving.
51 City Engineer Wedel added that with the two new homes being built, there will be less
52 water running to Linda because of grading on one half of the improved area.
53
54 When the mayor asked the two residents what would be the ideal for the lot under review,
55 Mr. Whaley said that the house there is a knock down; two new homes would be suitable.
56
57 Council Member Stoesz said he visited the area and knows that the existing home doesn't
58 look good. He hopes there will be improvements to it as part of this development.
59
60 When Ms. Brunner asked what her recourse would be if a water problem arises, City
61 Engineer Wedel explained that it is his responsibility if a problem arises since he is
62 approving the plans.
63
64 The matter will be discussed further at the city council meeting.

66 The meeting was adjourned at 6:10 p.m.
