Exhibit 3 5. Page 38, the last sentence In the first paragraph - the improvement referred to is an outlet from the Foxfire-Green Acres Additions, If needed. 6. Page 38, third to last sentence under City Park Pond - this plan assumes nafurje will replace the dead trees around City Park Pond with new flood tolerant species. No clean up of dead trees is planned. Speaking to Nels Nelson about this, he said the cost estimates may have sufficient funds under "clearing and grubbing" or turf restoration to do some clean up but the present estimate does not provide for the 500+ trees counted by TKDA in our previous flood damage report. The Council should make its feelings known in this matter. 7. Page 39, Lake Elmo - no homes around Lake Elmo are planned to be floodproofed. The City does not receive many structure related damage reports on Lake Elmo other than from Paul Magnuson. It Is assumed by the VBWD that lowering the normal level by 2.5 feet will eliminate the problem. 8. Page 40, the second and third sentences under Horseshoe Lake should be removed and substituted with wording that states the work approved for Tartan Park by VBWD Permit No. 84-21 provides for the 100 year capacity outflow from Lake Elmo and are the only Improvements required in Tartan Park other than minor channel excavation associated with the Lake Elmo outlet construction. 9. Page 43, the first.paragraph reminds the City again that present landlocked lakes, some of which have experienced high water problems, cannot be outletted. Some of these are Clear Lake, Green Acres Pond, Cromble Pond, Animal Inn Ponds, Legion Pond, Goose Lake, Reid Park Pond at and of 32nd Street, and Lake Rose. 10. Page 43, Valley Branch Creek - no improvements are contemplated even though flood related problems have been noted on Lot 10, Beau Haven Addition, the David Hardy driveway, and homes around 28th Street and Ivy Avenue. Does the Council wish to have any Improvements considered in this area? 11. Page 58 - the first sentence of the last paragraph under Financing - if a community wanted Phase II or III initiated sooner than VBWD, It may have to petition for the Improvement and open itself up for special assessments. 12. Cost Estimates on pages 59-62 - Design and Administration was estimated at 7% of construction costs. This may be too low. In order to have the estimated project cost as accurate as possible the VBWD engineer should review these costs and the costs for Miscellaneous and Contingency in Appendix C.
