LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 21, 1981 -3- ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Kroy•industries - The Engineer reviewed the plans for the Kroy IndustrM planned unit development, in the City of Oakdale, to determine any possible impact on the City of Lake Elmo. The complex consists of 70 acres of commercial/industrial development in the m rtheast quadrant of I-694 and County 70, adjacent to Lake Elmo. The Engineer reviewed the proposal on the basis of drainage and traffic impact on the City and made the following observations and recommendations: 1. The City of Lake Elmo objects to any additional runoff leaving the site and entering Lake Elmo. The proposed flow of 50cfs in the County 70 ditch is in excess of the Oakdale Comprehensive Plan. 2. Runoff from phase II and III, of the building and parking lot expansions, should be directed to the pond in the south central part of the site and not allowed to drain to the southeast and leave the site. 3. The pond in the south central part of the site should be allowed to seep normally and no attempt should be made to seal the bottom with clay. 4. The entire southeast corner of the site between the future collector street and County 70 should be set aside as a storm water ponding area. if and when a collector street is designed, a more complete analysis of the drainage should be made to direct the flow north or construct a permanent holding pond in the southeast corner of the property. Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to accept the Engineer's report and instruct the Administrator to forward his recommendations to the City of Oakdale. Motion carried 4-0. LITTLE SUNFISH HEARING: Acting Mayor Morgan reconvened the hearing at 8:00 P.M. The Administrator reported that figures he obtained from the PCA, on effluent disposed of by Cimarron, did not agree with the figures presented by the 3M Club at a previous meeting. The Engineer reported that, in his opinion, effluent from the Cimarron plant did not significantly contribute to the rise of Little Sunfish Lake, Steven Taylor, Cimarron, briefly outlined -%the measures Cimarron took to protect the lake. He said the primary contributing factor was the ground water level. Mottaz said he is satisified with the assessment roster, as long as the allegations made by 3M Club have been addressed. No new information has been received other than the flow records on the Cimarron Plant. Morgan closed the hearing at 8:13 p.m. Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to adopt R-81-27, a Resolution to adopt the assessment roster for the Little Sunfish Flood Control Project.
