BEUTEL POND ASSESSMENT HEARING, MARCH 10, 1981 -2- Steve Chlebeck - stated that the water on his property does not get to the pond because of the design of County 6. He has never had a water problem and opposed any assessment, Mn/DOT Rep. - Asked if the City has an overall plan to discharge the area deleted to the NE to Beutel Pond. Also, does the City consider this a temporary project;,,, what is the life expectancy of the improvement; and will additional assessments be made against Mn/DOT to improve the outlet as the area develops. Engineer Bohrer said this is considered a temporary improvement because the outlet was not sized for ultimate development of the watershed. It was designed to relieve a flooding problem that exists with present conditions. The Council does not intend further development until the Main Stem Improvements are finalized. Ile outlined the two .watershed areas. Jerry Bartel 3415 Jamaca Ave.- opposed the assessment. He does not feel that anyone who lives on Jamaca Avenue should be involved. They have had no water problems and does not feel their water drains to Beutel Pond. Laverne Downs 3759 Jamaca - Asked for verification of the new..assessment area. Administrator Whittaker explained that the assessment was based not only on whether you live in the flooded area but if one contributes to the flooded area. If property run-off reaches Beutel Pond it contributes and. that property shares in the expense of solving the problem. Mervin Nippoldt 3501 Jamaca - Does not think his farm contributes. Engineer Bohrer said that a large portion of the Nippoldt farm is not included in the redefined area. About 13 acres, south of the driveway is included.
