LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL - 9/l/81 Page 4 ...Novak - Would irritate a lot of people. ...Mottaz - Hooking non -users up would not achieve affordability of second well, would irritate people and maybe generate a law suit. Whittaker is to write out generator requirements (Bohrer to dive type needed) to place companies/neighboring communities on notice that Lake Elmo is looking for one. Also, could have one on reserve by paying some type of retainer. Eder, in summary: although there is no desire on part of Council to proceed, we really appreciate engineer's report as information will be valid for years to come. Report to be placed in City files for future reference. C. Brookfield Drainage - Bohrer gave status report: they have since decided to construct single pond for whole Brookman Add. .(50-55 acres), and they're having their engineer design larger pond. D. Lake Rose Flooding Situation - Mr. Taylor would like Council to take any action and assess flooding situation similar to last year. In 1980, we were concerned that the plant would flood, but, there is virtually no chance that treatment plant would be flooded this year because of 4' dike around pond; also water level is about 1' below last year's level. Consenses of Council is suggestion that if Mr. Taylor is willing to put up money for 2-doy's engineering work for further study and make deposit for it, city engineer will do study for him. Whittaker will inform Mr. Taylor. BREAK - 9:05 to 9:15. OLD BUSINESS A. Grant Town Plan - M/S/P Novak/Mottaz to express our concerns regarding lack of firm alignment for Co. Rd. 13 and lack of any drainage plan or policies. B.

Jim Yarusso, present at meeting, indicated same, such as Dave Garloff's answer was negative. ,..Fraser - Ought to set a date to close access if DNR shows no intent to proceeding; would force DNR to face responsibility. (Eder concurs - make it Fall date.) ...Mottaz - Before we set closing date, Connie Levi and Jerry Hughes could be asked to send out letters rerun -around we've been getting. ...Whittaker - we should also get engineering plan that was promised two months ago by Del Barber, DNR. ...Eder - We should set date if they haven't made decision on condemnation, then we will make decision when it will be closed. (Whittaker - tell them we'll make decision at 2nd meeting in October?) Cont Id...
