LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING 3/6/84 PAGE 8 adjacent areas that naturally drain to the highway right-of-way do occurr on the north side (in the Lake Elmo area); about 57 acres in the ( northwest corner of CSAH 19 which will drain into their system. There is also an area on the north side of CSAH 17 which will drain into a pond and also into their system. Eder asked if the ponding areas were going to be fenced. Shannon said as a general rule they try to, especially in wet ponds, fence the ponding area off completely. Larry Bohrer asked (on the drainage that comes from Lake Elmo) what assumptions have been made regarding land use as far as run-off generation. Shannon replied that they generally assume fully developed situations. At the interchange areas they assume fairly heavy type commercial type development, therefore; they anticipate higher run-off rates. In general, they have assumed commercial development along the corridor and less dense development in the adjacent properties. Bohrer stated that recently Lake Elmo entered into a joint powers agreement with Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Oakdale and a portion of Afton in the watershed called the Cottage Grove Ravine. In that agreement, Lake Elmo promised 'that it would not increase the rate or volume of run-off presently leaving Lake Elmo. Larger capacity structures than are necessary now may have been provided, but wanted to point out that it is primarily for the protection of the highway; not to show the communities down stream that Lake Elmo is planning to increase their rate and volume of run-off.
