LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, 1,4ARCH 17, 1981 -6- Morgan said that when Foxfire was developed residents on Jane Road did not want Jane Road and Jamaca connected and that position has not changed. He would prefer to close the road permanently and feels the residents on Jane Road share his position. Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to authorize up to $1200 for materials to replace the Jamaca Gate. Motion carried 3-1-1. Fraser opposed. Eder abstained. Eder would like to explore other alternatives. ��_ �Q p again, The aed the (deleted when minutes were approved 4/7/81) D. Drainage Control Policy - Brookman Addition - The developers of Brookman Addition and Brookfield II requested that the Council reconsider enforcing the current drainage standard for the lst Addition of Brookman Addition as a requirement for the Brookfield II building. Calculations determined that most of the ponding area planned for the 2nd Addition in Brookman Addition will be necessary to meet the current standard. The ponding provided in the 2nd Addition was designed to serve the entire plat. The developers want to meet the standards under which their plat was approved. Eder stated it was his understanding, that the City would ap- prove a ponding area adequate to serve the Brookfield II building, then, study an overall surface water plan for the entire area. If such a plan would not be developed, the current City standard would prevail for the remainder of the plat. The developers would like a determination from the Council on this question. Bruce Folz said two problems contribute to this situation. First is that 4 of the 5 current councillors are new since the Brookman Plat was approved; and, second, minutes of the meetings do not include the discussion of the proposal or indicate ac- ceptance of the Brookman Addition surface water plan as part of the plat approval. Mr. Folz highlighted his recollection of discussions during the plat review. He stated the Council, at that time, accepted the plait designed by Tom Noyes, Bonostroo and Associates, that provided temporary storage for one 100 yr storm, controlled the rate of run-off, and provided a 13 acre pond in the 2nd Addition, per the standards at that time. The Brookman developers contend that both the City and the developers committed to the construction and completion of the storm water plan submitted by Mr. Noyes. Current standards require that rate and volume must be controlled on -site. City Engineer Bohrer estimated that 18 acre feet of ponding will be necessary to serve the whole development and meet current standards. The Brookman Addition, Phase I, will require a 5 acre ponding area. The developers desire to put in only that ponding necessary to accomodate the proposed development rather than provide ponding in areas not being developed.
